Connecting my iPad to a smartboard

I work in a school & our smart boards are operated through apple mini macs, on my personal iPad I have interactive books that I would like to share with my class but having trouble finding out how to connect.

Not sure if it's applicable, but the info below is for connecting to TVs. What type of inputs does the smartboard have?
You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

Alternately, there are Apple Digital AV Adapters for hardwired connections:

Is it possible to connect an iPad to a SmartBoard and interact with the iPad on the SmartBoard, like you do on a computer with the Smart-software Notebook on it?

You can purchase an adapter from apple that uses the monitor cable from the projector, its the same one that is probably connecting either your laptop or school workstation. On the projector control you might need to refresh the source.

How do I connect my ipad to a Smartboard

I have the newest Ipad made how do I connect it to smart board so I can use my apps on the smartboard.

The Smart Board is essentially an interactive monitor for a computer. I doubt that you can connect your iPad.

Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

Absolutely!
Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
    Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
    Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
    School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
    Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
    Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
    Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
    Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

How to connect my IPad to a security enabled wifi

how to connect my IPad to a security enabled wifi

iPad not connecting to a Secure Wi-Fi signal
Turn OFF your wifi hub so the network is not broadcasting (or go out of range) so the
iPad can no longer see the SSID
Choose another network
Type in the SSID (WiFi Network name)
Select the security type
Enter the password
At this point, you will not be able to join the network (it is not turned on or you walked out of range, remember?)
Turn ON your network hub and wait for the DSL or Internet to get connected, (30 secs to 1 minute in my case) or walk back in range
Then click the Join button on the iPad
Voila, as they say in Texas

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

How to connect my iPad, Brother printer, and AirPort Extreme?

I don't believe any of the Brother printers are AirPrint-enabled. Is your Brother printer network-ready? That is, does is support either/both a wired or wireless connection or just uses USB to connect?

My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

My ipad 3 is frozen on the plug into itunes page - it won't turn off or on - just stuck. I have tried to follow advice I have found on these pages but I don't know how to connect the ipad to my mac (the advice is to connect ipad to mac and there is no usb port on an ipad). If anyone could help it would be appreciated. Going nuts.

I think you should probably also read the iPad User Guide. You didn't say what version of iOS your iPad is running, so here's the links to both the iOS 6 and iOS 7 (PDF) versions:

iPad User Guide for iOS 7

HT4108 I'm trying to connect my iPad to my tv so that I can mirror whatever is on my iPad. I want to stream movies online and watch on the tv. I have the digital av adapter and an hdmi cable but it's not working. Any tips ?

If this is an iPad 1, it won't mirror, but it will still output video from the 30 Pin dock connector.
If your new TV has a conventional VGA in and stereo inputs you can try this connector.

I used to stream video from both Netflix and YouTube and from my Mac using iTunes sharing through my iPad then with this connector plug into my iPad and TV.
It won't be high resolution, but it will get you picture from iPad to TV.
Good Luck.

IPad 2 - I am not able to connect my iPad 2 to my tv anymore using AV adapter.

What is wrong with my iPad 2? I'm not able to conect my iPad to my proyector or tv anymore using AV adaptor. Is there something wrong with my iPad?
I tried it with my wife's iPad 2 and it was the same result. I was not able to connect her iPad to my TV. Niether TV or a proyector couldn't find the device.
Would you please help me? Your help will be well appreciated.

Sounds like the one common thing is the adapter. The cheaper, non apple branded ones tend to fail.
Try another adaptor before worrying about your ipad.
