  • HT202020 Using a SDHC card adapter I can import directly on my iPad2 videos (.mov) taken with a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. The same video files (same file format) imported in Aperture 3.3 cannot be synchronized with iPad. Is Aperture causing the problem?

    Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
    I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
    Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
    Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

  • Good monitor to use with iPad Air

    Any body have their favorite  monitor to use with iPad Air?

    I wasn't aware that the iPad Air supported external monitors. Based on that, I'd have to say that the iPad Air's monitor is my favorite, by default.

  • HT201178 when using apple bluetooth keyboard with iPad, hitting the enter/return key while typing in iMessage only adds another line not 'send' the message? is there a setting to change that somewhere?

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

  • Can we use external drive with ipad air

    can we use external drive with ipad air?

    There are some wifi-enabled drives that allow you to stream content (music, films, tv programmes) to an iPad, but you can't directly connect one to an iPad.

  • Does Magic Mouse work with ipad air?

    Does Magic Mouse work with IPad Air?

    Yes, it is a Bluetooth device. However, my iPad will not connect to the mouse.  Not sure why.
    I use my iPad as my personal computer. Mainly for surfing the web, social media, paying bills online... I already have a Bluetooth keyboard that connects to the iPad, so thought it would be nice to have a mouse.

  • Wired keyboards for iPad Air 2/adapter

    Can an Apple/Mac wired keyboard that has a USB cord be successfully used on the iPad Air 2 via the Air's Lightning input using a "USB to Lightning" adapter cable? We are specifically looking at the apple certified amazonbasics USS-Lightning adapter cable
    Thanks!

    I have a 10W charger from a 1st gen. iPad that I use to charge the iPad it came with, an iPhone 4, and even a 3rd gen. iPod nano.  I have also used the 12W charger that came with my mom's 4th gen. iPad to charge the devices above for a couple years now with no detrimental effects.  Charging time in theory would be 20% less with the 12W vs. the 10W but that isn't technically true since the '10W' charger is actually a 10.71W charger (5.1V x 2.1A).  The '12W' charger is actually outputting 12.48W (5.2V x 2.4A) meaning the 12W iPad charger outputs 16.5% more power over the 10W charger and would charge the device 16.5% faster.
    I also just received the new iPad Air 2 and was surprised to see that it came with a 10W charger.  But since I don't wear a watch anymore I won't worry too much about the 10 extra minutes it will take per hour to fully charge a depleted iPad (16.5% of 60 minutes is 9.9 minutes).  And of course, I am not taking into account the improved battery tech. and performance on the new iPad.

  • HT201386 how can I find the Image number of a particular photo in the Photos app included with iPad Air?

    how can I find the Image number of a particular photo in the Photos app included with iPad Air?

    Hello yamacutta,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    The Photos app will not show you the actual file name of the photo.  However when you go through the image import process on your computer, you should be able to see both the thumbnail of the photo, as well as the filename of the image.
