Cover flow for the ipad

Why is no Cover flow for the iPad 2 with OS 5?

I made a newer post about this same topic (trying to be a little more strategic) and this time I included a link to a video demonstrating my point. Here's the post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6574743#6574743.
I couldn't agree with you more on the custom folder icon issues. I'm beginning to find out what the problem is on that. I have used the newest version of Candy Bar for my Home directory icons and that works fine, but there are some folders that I want to use a different icon for and leave the rest as they are. Candy Bar can't do this for me (as it only works with the generic icons) and so I used Apple's Icon Composer application (in the Developer Tools) to make the correct icon sizes for Leopard and then saved them as .icns but then copying and pasting that on a folder would result in the default ICNS icon and not my custom icon (that was under 10.5.1). So I finally got the custom icon to appear, but it only works for sizes 128x128 and lower, even though I put a 512X512 version in there. That's why it doesn't show up in Cover Flow. For some reason, Leopard "blacks" out anything larger than 128x128 on "Cut and Paste" icons. I found that out by copying my custom icon from the Get Info panel and then opening that in Preview and it shows a black background for the larger icons instead of the alpha channel. I'm still trying to figure this out. Also, IconBuilder seems to be doing the same thing (making and ICNS file) but it seems to work better. I haven't used that since I've upgraded to Leopard but from what I've read it should work, but I don't have Photoshop right now. Well, thanks for posting and agreeing with me on the Carousel view and I hope you check out my video. Thanks.

  • Is magnets in an ipad cover, good for the ipad?

    Just wondering if magnets in an ipad cover, good for the ipad. Some poeple say its fine and other say its gives problems with you ipad.
    So what whitch one is it good or bad?

    The Apple cover has magnets. If magnets caused problems, Apple wouldn't use them.
    Magnets, if strong enough, can cause problems with hard drives like in a laptop, or like old floppy discs. However, the iPad uses a flash type hard drive not affected by magnets.

  • Carousel View Better Than Cover Flow For The Finder?

    I have been using my .Mac Web Gallery quite a bit lately and I love the new and improved Carousel view. Apple keeps updating it (they added reflections, a nice play/pause scroll bar, and now you can use the scroll wheel (or ball) on your mouse just like Cover Flow in iTunes and the Finder) making it better and better and it has gotten to the point where I think it would make a lot more sense (and look nicer) for Apple to implement it in the Finder in place of Cover Flow. Cover Flow works perfectly for iTunes still (as that's what it was intended for) and I think that it's "Ok" in the Finder in Leopard, but now that Apple has cleaned up the Carousel view so much in the .Mac Web Gallery, I can see it looking PERFECT in the Finder in Leopard. For anyone who's used or seen the Cover Flow view in the Finder, you'll realize what I mean when I say that it's "Ok". The problem with it is that most of the dynamically generated icons in Leopard are not nice squares like the albums in iTunes so the icons off to the sides of the center one look skewed and distorted. The Carousel view would fix that problem while retaining the benefits of the Cover Flow view and, from what I can see, would actually enhance the benefits because the side icons would be easier to see as they are not skewed. All I'm suggesting is for Apple to swap out the Cover Flow view in the Finder for the Carousel view and then the Finder would really SHINE! So, my question to any of you is, "Would you vote for the Carousel view to replace the Cover Flow view in the Finder?" Please let me know any of your ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

  • What is the best Case/Cover/Sleeve for the iPad 2!! or combination!!

    Ok, I am literally lost with all the varaities out in the market....
    Now putting the Smart Cover aside... what do you think guys is the best iPad 2 case, cover, sleeve or anything... something that is slim nothing bulgy!!
    or any combination of the above even with the Smart Cover...
    what do you think guys
    Thank you for the advice
    S.

    I use my iPad in some high risk situations (a classroom/my studio/field work) as well as just sitting on the couch or out on the patio. I like to "layer" so here's my arsenal.
    For me the Smart Cover's a must. It makes the iPad much easier to hold, protects the screen and, being lazy, I love the instant off feature (and the blue color).
    To make the iPad less slippery for classroom use I've added a Cover Buddy back in blue. It has a rubberized surface like the poly Smart Covers.

    I always transport my iPad in its own compartment in this small neoprene messenger bag, which also holds accessories, a book or file, and my Kindle:
    http://www.builtny.com/neoprene-messenger-bag-11-13-inches-prod.html
    Then, for traveling and field work, I slip the iPad with the Smart Cover and Cover Buddy still on it, into this neoprene hooded case, which has a rigid plastic lining to protect the back and sides. Then that whole thing goes into the neoprene bag again.
    http://www.builtny.com/hoodie-netbook-case-7-10-inches-prod.html
    Last but not least, my best case is a two year accidental damage warranty from Square Trade. A lot of piece of mind for 70 bucks.

  • Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

    I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
    I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

    I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

  • Cover flow for videos or is it just the cd art?

    Is there cover flow for videos or just cd covers?. I will have more video than audio on my itouch but they have never showed cover flow for video.

    I know what you mean Durwin, Unfortunatley this is not possible at this time, athough the good news is:
    It is something which can be added in a software update!! - I don't think you've seen the last of what the iPod Touch can do. Apple doesn't stop at the functionality of when you bought it.

  • Lack of UI and No Cover Flow for Videos?

    Why is there no cover flow in the iPod touch/iPhone/any iPods for movies and videos? I don't even remember seeing a menu bar at the bottom of the screen to view videos in different categories.
    Has anyone else noticed the lack of a good UI in the Video section of the iPod touch? I ask because this option is available in iTunes, and frankly, cover flow one of the coolest features, that is, whizzing through all your DVD covers.

    Your remarks are falling on deaf ears here no one works for apple here. PLease post your comments for enhancements at the link below.

    THese forums are for technical questions you may have with your ipod touch. Not for general discussions. product enhancements, and speculation.

  • Looking for recommendations for a keyboard/stand for the iPad

    I have the bluetooth stand alone one for Apple TV but my wife wants a keyboard/stand combined and wants tro know where the mouse would be?
    I know Logitech and Zagg both do the keyboard but what about the mouse?
    All recommendations welcomed

    I use the Logitech Ultrathin Keyboard, and I love it.  The iPad easily attaches and detaches.  The Keyboard acts as a cover in one configuration, move the iPad to the slot and it is a nice stand.  It is firm enough in the slot that you can use the back of the keyboard (behind the slot) as a handle to view the iPad vertically.  Or you can easily use the iPad on its own.  Magnets help to reseat the iPad when you are ready to reattach it.
    The keyboard action is quite nice as well.
    The version for the iPad Air doesn't close as well as the previous versions - not sure why.  I almost didn't buy it because of this.  But I am very glad that I did buy it, and in reality with a little care it isn't a problem.

  • When the smart cover turns of the iPad does it turn off the wifi turn off too?

    Am I running down the battery if I don't turn off wifi before I close the smart cover?

    Jfd-
    Closing the smart cover only puts the iPad to sleep.  As far as I know, it puts WiFi to sleep as well.
    There are some Apps such as the Music App, that may continue to play after the iPad goes to sleep.  If you really want to turn off the iPad, hold down the Sleep button for a few seconds until the "Slide to power off" arrow appears.  When the iPad is turned off this way, you turn it back on by holding the Sleep button until the Apple logo appears.

  • Smart cover will damage the ipad mini

    Just a heads up. The smart cover for the ipad mini has magnets in the spine of the cover that attaches it to the mini and will wear through the material with normal use and will dig into the ipad mini leaving large deep gouges in it. Apple Care considers this damage as "accidental damage", like dropping it, and will charge you to replace it. So If you have a smart cover for your ipad mini, I suggest you stop using it before it damages the device. I've been using it for 6 months which isn't very long, and you don't really expect that a case you bought from apple to protect your device will damage your device just by using it, until you remove the case and see that the damage has already been done.

    I use a different "smart cover" than you, but try this: Go to Settings/General/Lock-Unlock. Make sure the feature is enabled by toggling it green. If you've already enabled, toggle the feature off, then on (green).

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • How can I manage several ID on my computer, one for my iPhone and another one for the iPad of the family?

    Hi everybody
    Just have bought an ipad2 and i would like to manage several IDs on my computer (i.e keep my iPhone ID and create another one for the ipad to manage apps for my iPhone (4) and the apps for the iPad).
    How can I resetup the iPad to create that new ID on itunes?
    Thanks for your help
    Jp

    If you have separate iTunes accounts for the two devices then you'll need to buy 2 copies of any app that you want on both device - you can't copy or move apps from one account to another (they are tied to the account that bought/downloaded them). If you want to reset the iPad then logout of the account on it (Settings > Store and tap the id on the right-hand side) and then Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content And Settings will reset it back to factory defaults.
    You may want to consider one of three options mentioned on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?
    Cheers,
