External device to control ipad scrolling

I play guitar and want to use my ipad to display music and lyrics as I play. I want to set up an external device that I can use my foot to control the scrolling (only) of content on the screen...is it possible? I could build/modify the hardware side (maybe mouse type device?) to work for me, if the app/software side is available...

Found it! There is an app called OnSong that scrolls and pages music on an iPad & a Bluetooth pedal switch system that works with it (for an additional $120). I will really be worth having instead of carrying 10-15 song books and volumes of sheet music!

HT1751 when one copies their itunes library to an external device, does the iPad apps and other files get copied also?

When copying iTunes files to an external device, do the Apps and other files for an iPad get copied also?

If the instructions are followed and the ENTIRE iTunes folder is copied, then all the contents of the folder (including apps) will be copied.

Hi, my iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there eny way I can get rid of this?

Hi,
My iPad and the camera connection kit is completely useless to me, ever since the update where Apple restricted the device from connecting to certain external devices. I've tried everything, but is there any way I can get rid of this annoying problem? The bottom line is that I'll stay away from apple, because they basically make it so the devices control you, and you don't control the devices. I've even jail broken to try and fix this. I need my USB drives to work as they have many folders. Formatting doesn't work, so it is definetly down to the software and it's restrictions.
Please help.

The camera connection kit is to be used to connect a camera or an SD card and transfer photos/video. You can't fault them for something that happened to work and doesn't any longer. There are drives like the seagate available if you need access to extra storage

My external device is having male USB connector. The cable available in market are having can be plugged to the device having female connector.I will need converter in between as my device is having male connector. Can i get such cable? If yes can i establish communication in between my app and device over these cables.I am not passing any audio/video data or photos.I am sending data frames. My device is having firmware and it sends data frames in firmware understandable format. Let me know can i have two way communication in between over USB/BT?
Right now i am connecting my device with host PC and i want to replace my host PC with ipad.

Thanks....
will it be possible to establish communication in between my device and app. Because camera conection kit only transfers photos and videos and my device doesnt have any audio/video data.
If yes, should i add photo header to my frames and will send as corrupted photo file or what needs to implement so that i can have sound communication in between.

All the info you do with your image files is stored in the Lightroom Catalog file. The Catalog file cannot be located on a network it must have a physical connection to the computer.
While the Catalog is in use a LOCK file will be temporarily placed alongside which prevents its use by any other device.

Hi cdag144,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPad. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing when you try to sync. If you are unable to sync because your iPad isn't showing up in iTunes at all (you mention it showing up as a device on the computer), you may find the troubleshooting steps outlined in the following article helpful:

Satellite L750 will not register external devices

About a few days ago my wireless mouse, a Logitech M325, stopped working. I replaced the batteries and performed tests with official software and determined that the USB port was not being read. Soon after I noticed that my iPod would not sync or charge and would not open in Windows Explorer (I use Windows 7).
Additionally none of my SD Cards will be read on my computer.
Please help, this is very frustrating and I'd like it to be fixed ASAP!

You could try to reinstall the USB hubs and controllers which are available in device manager.
Disconnect all external USB devices firstly. Then go to control panel -> device manager.
Here scroll down and find the USB hubs and controllers.
Delete each USB device and reboot the system.
After new reboot, it will take some time until windows system has recognized and installed the USB ports again.
Then you should connect an USB mouse and should test the port functionality.
Even if your wireless mouse would not work again, I strongly recommend to test the USB ports in connection with different USB devices like USB flash memory stick or different USB mouse
Just because one USB device does not work, this does not mean that your USB ports are faulty.

Touchscreen LED/LCD monitor to control ipad/iphone apps...

Hi!,
Is there a way to use a large LCD/LED touchscreen monitor, around 32inch and larger to connect & control ipad and iphone, and use that touchscreen monitor as if you're using your device..
Thanks!

Sorry to see your answer varjak paw.
In our school teachers wants to use: iPad (iOS7), Apple Wireless Keyboard and external touch screen (ViewSonic TD2220) at work.They want to use the touch functionallity on the external screen as the active screen.
1. The reason for this is tha many apps needs very presice touch to get the wanted functionallity.
2. At work we also use Microsoft Office 2010 in a Citrix world. With the Citrix reader on the iOS7 we can access and use all applications we get in the Citrix world. We alse store files in the Cirtrix world. So far so good, but we need an external screen with touch functionallity to work properly in the Citrix world.
3. We want to change hardware from PC/Laptop to iOS devices. Thie seems very futuristic....

When I open the iCloud control panel, I cannot turn on the photos. That option is ghosted. I'm running on Windows 7 with iCloud 3.0. Any ideas on how I can fix this? All help is appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Kevinmvb,

HD-DVD won't play on Satellite P200-123 Unable to output to external device

Hi,
I bought a P200-123 yesterday. One of the first things I tried after the Vista installation initially completed was running an HD-DVD. I know the disc is fine as it works in my Xbox 360. Unfortunately, it didn't work with the supplied HD-DVD player software - the play icon lights up and then I get this error message:
"Unable to output the video to an external device. Please switch your display device by pressing the Fn + F5 keys after ending the application."
I don't have an external display connected to the laptop. I tried different discs but all gave me the same error. I then carried on updating drivers and installing a bunch of Windows updates. I repeatedly tried the HD-DVD player throughout the countless updates and reboots but I always get the same error. Out of frustration I bought PowerDVD Ultra. That plays the movie for about one second before giving me an error:
"Cannot initialize secure display session - (Error Code = 0122)"
The error dialog goes on to say that the error could be caused by an incompatible graphics driver or beccause I'm using a dual-monitor setup. The reference to dual monitors is common to each player application so I'm wondering if the problem is in that area. I haven't connected a secondary display but when I look at the standard Windows display properties dialog or the ATI Catalyst control center app I can see a disabled secondary display. I'm assuming that's normal - there's no obvious way to remove the disabled secondary display.
Can anyone help me get HD-DVD playback working?
Thanks,
Ian

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I downloaded that and tried it yesterday but it didn't help :-(
I noticed that a couple of other unrelated things stopped working after the last batch of Windows and Toshiba updates - for example, the Event Viewer snapin wouldn't load and the built-in .NET Framework 2.0 installation appeared to be corrupt until I ran sfc to repair it. I was getting pretty sick of the whole thing so I took the drastic step of nuking the C: drive and installing Vista Ultimate from my own retail DVD.
One hour later I have a working Vista Ultimate installation and, interestingly, I installed the Toshiba HD-DVD player and it now works!!!
It was a pretty drastic method to get it working - and not everyone is going to have a retail copy of Vista just lying around - but at the moment everything looks good. I still don't understand the original root cause (or which software update messed up Event Viewer/.NET Framework) but I guess it's kind of a solution...

I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
under Input highlight microphone.
3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
(Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
For any other audio device you do this for input and output.
If you get stock post back

Finder is not showing any external devices

I'm having problems with the Finder not seeing any external devices. First I tried to restart from a CD to run Tech Tools. Even though I held the "C" down, it kept popping out the CD and then restarting as usual instead. I gave up on that and tried to just run a backup to a Store-It drive (60 GB) hard drive by Hitachi, which connects by 2 USB connectors. Finder doesn't show it. Then to test, I tried putting in a small USB drive. Finder doesn't show it either. Any suggestions?
Thanks very much!
Satya

This is what I've tried so far:
1. Check that the USB device is connected to the appropriate jack. There is a USB jack in the back of most keyboards, but it often only works with a mouse.
2. Unplug any USB devices and wait a few moments before reconnecting them. You can often fix problems with your USB keyboard and mouse by using this method. Try restarting your computer if the malfunction persists after you reconnect the USB device.
3. Test your USB peripherals in another computer. If the problem exists in the second computer, you may need to have the device serviced or look for an updated version of the firmware that supports your USB item. Check the manufacturer's website for these updates.
4. Try different devices in the same USB port. For example, if your mouse if behaving strangely, see whether an external drive or an iPod is able to connect to the computer via that USB port.
5. Disconnect any USB hubs that you're using and connect each device one at a time to your computer. You need to troubleshoot the devices individually to find out whether the USB hub or the one of the devices is causing the problem. Be sure to test each peripheral with a working USB cable.
6. Reset the SMC
7. Reset the parameter random access memory (PRAM) and nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) on your computer. Turn off your computer, then restart it and immediately press and hold the "Command," "Option," "P" and "R" keys on the keyboard. Release the keys after you hear the startup chime for the third time and your computer should boot normally.
I don't believe the controller is "dead" because I can still get some I/O, but no control.

How To combine two Itunes libraries, and run Itunes off of external device

Hi,
I have a very blonde question to ask. I have the ipad2 (now very old) and a Macbook Air - Currently I have one itunes library on my Macbook Air, and one on my itunes - not sure how I did that, but here we are.
I would like to combine both the libaries - as one seems to have my older apps, all my music and movies, and the other on my Macbook air seems to have all my newly downloaded apps.
How do I merge both of them so that all my info is in once place, and how do I get my itunes to run back off of the external device, as there is not enough space on my macbook air.

By "device" I presume you mean your iPad?
Computers running iTunes are intended to be the master source for your collection. i-devices are designed to be synced from a computer's collection. They are not intended to be the main repository of your collection. If you need that, consider buying an external hard drive for your media collection. You can transfer items purchased from Apple from a device to a computer, but depeneding upon your country and iCloud availability you should also be able to download them from the iTunes Store to your computer again too.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - this is just purchased music, not all
Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085 ); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple recommends "you always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store."

Is there any talk about adding a device to the ipad so that you can use it as camera like ipad2

Is there any talk about adding a device to the ipad so that you can use it as camera like ipad2

James-
As Jeanne mentioned, it can work as long as the added device is a camera, and you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit. The kit contains two adapters, one for an SD camera card and one that accepts a USB card adapter or cable from your camera.
With regard to your basic question, Deggie is correct. It does NOT work like a built-in camera, so you can't use it for video calls. You have to take pictures with the external camera and transfer them to the iPad.
