Does the iPad 2 have better resolution tethered via HDMI adapter to TV or via wireless to AppleTV? Maybe no difference at all?

Hello! I just wanted to know if there's a video quality difference between a direct connection to a TV with an iPad 2 using the HDMI adapter vs. connecting wirelessly to AppleTV (which is obviously tethered to TV via HDMI)?
I would assume that connecting wirelessly to AppleTV might degrade the video quality slightly?

That worked for me.
To recap:
My Apple TV was telling me I had the latest update, but it was wrong.  I had version 4.3, you need version 4.4 for Airplay to work.  I took the Apple TV over to my computer and connected it with a microUSB cable.  In iTunes I hit restore. 
The first time I did this I got an "Unknown error 1602" message and the restore failed.  I rebooted my computer and used a different USB port and tried again.  Whohoo! Success this time!.  Now I have version 4.4.1 on my Apple TV and the Airplay "Mirroring" slider is there and working.
Thanks for your help!

  • DOES THE IPAD HAVE A TEXT TO SPEECH FEATURE IN IBOOKS??

    DOES THE IPAD HAVE THE TEXT TO SPEECH FEATURE IN IBOOKS??

    Actually, there is a small workaround.
    It isn't the same as an audiobook, but it does the job.
    Go to Settings>General>Accessubility>Voiceover>
    I would suggest settkng the speed to slower cnsiderng you
    are gong to read books.
    Anyway turn voice oier on.
    You'll have to double tap everything since Voiceover sais everything you tap once.
    Anyway, once you're n the book, just tap the text and boom.
    I use ths on websites where there are a kit of text,
    You see, this feature is for those who are vision impaired or blind.

  • Does the ipad have amber aletrs

  • Does the ipad have a usb where i can transfer documents

    I would like to buy one but have 2 questions. Can I open word docuemtns without buying or downloading anything and can I transfer word or pdf docs via usb?

    The iPad supports viewing of Word documents within applications but doesn't provide a separate app for it. For example, if you receive a Word doc in an e-mail you can open and read it.
    There is no USB port on the iPad itself for transferring documents. You can sync various applications via the USB cable, and there are a couple that would support you using iTunes to transfer Word documents to the iPad and read them.
    However, by far the easiest solution is the cloud one: DropBox. You install DropBox on your iPhone and then either install the DropBox application on a computer or upload files to it via a web browser. DropBox is cloud storage, and whatever you put in your DropBox appears on all your devices that are connected to it (and it can be accessed via web browser). Typically, you'd install DropBox on a computer and when you drag a file into the DropBox folder on your computer, it's accessible to your phone.
    If you go this route, keep in mind that the default behavior of DropBox is to leave everything in the cloud. This might be a problem if you wander somewhere that has poor connectivity. For that reason, DropBox permits users to "star" files on their phone, which downloads the file and keeps a local copy on the phone for quick access.
    You could drop Word documents into the DropBox folder on your Mac or PC and they'd appear in DropBox on your phone, where you can open and read them as you like.

  • Does the ipad preserve full resolution and exif data on imported photos?

    If I import photos to my IPad2 using the 'camera connection kit',
    a) How do I transfer those photos to my windows computer ?
    b) Does the IPad2 preserve the full resolution and EXIF data etc of the photo ?
    Thanks in advance for your answers !

    There is help in this article (but basically your computer should see the iPad as a camera and should appear in windows explorer if there are non-synced photos i.e. taken with the iPad, transferred via CCK, or saved from emails/websites etc) : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    And, yes, the full photo and it's info is stored/copied i.e. they are the same as on the memory card.

  • Does the iPad have any Duress Code features?

    Dear all,
    I am managing a fleet of iPad via a third party MDM application and I am investigating whether the iPads support duress code?
    For instance a iPad user found themselves in some trouble he/she could send a covert signal to a IT helpdesk.

    Not inherent in iOS, no. If your MDM application itself doesn't offer such a contact feature, you'll have to look for a third-party app that might work. I'm not aware of anything, but there could well be something among the millions of available apps that would give you the functionality you're looking for.
    Regards.

  • Does the iPad have any external storage accessories?

    I have about 100GB worth of movies and TV shows (Downloaded from iTunes) and I was wondering if anyone has made an external storage accessory that I can sync to iTunes to add all these movies so I can take the iPad or iPhone and watch them when I don't have access to my computer for a while (Such as going on a trip). My iPad is 32GB and my iPhone is 16GB and it's simply not enough.
    Thanks.

    no official way but there are options

  • What the iPad have better than a PC for university ?

    The iPad are best to take note ?

    It is very personal.  I dislike the "pad" format for notes.  Too hard to make "special shapes" like boxes or pictures of houses or special math formula.
    And the "touch keyboard" makes me tired quickly.
    But that is me.
    Which just goes to show that you *need* to go to an Apple store and try taking keyboard notes on a floor-sample iPad before you put your limited dollars into an iPad instead of a PC-laptop, only to regret it.  Not that you will regret it, just saying that you need to be informed.

  • Does the iPad have a USB port

    Is there a USB port on ipad2?

    The CCK ONLY sees photo and video files. (it works quite well with SD cards, so-so with cameras - there have been different brands that work better than others) It can also pull the files off USB flash sticks, but with limited success. I've had a 2 gig stick that does work, one that doesn't.
    It seems to depend on whether or not the stick has big LED or preinstalled software like the sandisk or kingston do)

  • Does the iPad have a backlit keyboard?

    I require this piece of information.

    Pro Apple User wrote:
    How do I turn the backlighting on?
    If you can see the screen at all, the backlight is ON.  When the backlight is OFF, the entire screen is blank.
    Not meaning to sound rude or harsh, but have you every held, used or seen a LED/LCD backlit device with a virtual keyboard (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, or any of many dozens of smart phones or tablets)?  The "keyboard" is nothing more than a coordinated collection of touch icons, just like all control features in any app on an iPad.  Since the screen is an LED backlit LCD screen, the only way to see anything at all on it is to have the backlit on.

  • Does the iPad have external speakers, and can you also plug headphones into

    I've been thinking about getting an iPad. I was wondering if it had any sort of external speakers (or like the iPhone, doesn't, but still can project sound)? And also if you can plug a regular headphone jack into it. It seems like it would be pretty thin (I've never used an iPad) so it seems kind of like regular headphones wouldn't be able to plug into it.

    The iPad has left and right sound channels..
    iPad User Guide:
    Chapter 16 page 114
    Mono Audio combines the sound of the left and right channels into a mono signal played on both sides. This lets users with hearing impairment in one ear hear the entire sound signal with the other ear.
    *_Turn Mono on or off:_* In Settings, choose General > Accessibility, then tap the Mono Audio button.
    Stereo available ~ maybe combined for the speaker no idea. I always use headphones or good speakers.

  • Does the ipad have like a word where we can write essays??

  • Does the iPad have a presentation mode that temporarily disables notification banners?

    I use my iPad for presentations at conferences and in class. Is there a way to temporarily disable notification banners without having to change the settings for each indivdual app?

    The Notification Manager has a 'sleep' setting that tells it not to notify you about anything.  Look in the Settings panel for it.

  • I currently have an ipad 2 that has weak strength in connecting to wifi. My kindle will connect from my upstairs, but ipad 2 will not. Is the ipad air better with connection strength?

    I currently have an ipad 2 that seems to be very weak in picking up wifi connection. I have a kindle that picks up the signal from my upstairs, but my ipad will not.  Does the air have better capability in doing this?  Would think of upgrading, as my ipad 2 also seems to be losing battery life quicker.  Thanks!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netwhttp://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

  • Does the iPad support flash player yet?

    Does the iPad support flash player yet?

    As has been said here many times now, Adobe has ceased development on all versions of their mobile Flash player, and since the chances are vanishingly small that Apple will ever develop their own, iOS devices will probably never natively support Flash content or apps. If Flash capability is criticial to your needs, you'll probably want to choose another device, though even Android and Windows phone and tablet devices are less and less capable of Flash support.
