How about some flash for the ipad

I have read many posts on flash and apples ios. All parties have valid points. I am a student and am very interested in the capability of using digital books. Unfortunately most of these are in flash. I have been very pleased with my ipad but I must say, without the choice of being able to use flash it is no more than just a toy. I believe if apple wants to be serious about their touch devises being implemented outside of games and something to be used to just pass the time they need to at least allow the customer to decide if they would like to sacrifice power on the device in order to expand the capabilities. It is a shame that these issues cannot be resolved to benefit the customer.

It's been rehashed sooooo many times:
The problem wasn't with Apple. Adobe could never get a version that worked well in iOS.
Adobe has since stated that they are stopping development of Flash for ALL mobile platforms.
So we won't be seeing Flash on any iOS device.

Adobe flash for the iPad?

Is there anyway to get adobe flash for the iPad?

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
Puffin
SkyFire
Photon Flash
Browse2Go
iSwifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

Overall how good is Numbers for the IPAD?

Overall how good is Numbers for the IPAD?

Learning curve required but it works well. The user quide is very good, maybe look at that first..
Different options available on Numbers for iPad to what's available on Numbers for Mac.
Dragging around spreadsheet columns on an iPad is fun but probably overall not as intuitive as most apps until you get used to it.

What do you think about Quick Office for the IPad

What do you think about Quick Office for the IPad

You could also have a look at the following www.rollapp.com, I have only recently found it.
You have access to the full OpenOffice and LibreOffice library of program's and it syncs with Dropbox,google docs and others.
You do require an Internet connection as it is cloud based.
At present I have only used it for quick editing but I think it definitely looks promising and it is free

How about Hot Keys for the Wireless Keyboard?

Hello all.
Been using the iPad 2 for about 2 weeks since I got it. Had to "ditch" the iPad Keyboard Dock and use a regular Apple Wireless Keyboard. The good thing is now using the TwelveSouth iPad Stand, I can orientate the iPad to any of the two positions I want.
But I miss the special hot keys on Keyboard Dock, namely the Home and Lock keys. Kind of inconvenient pushing the Home button on the iPad 2, especially having to double-press for multitasking.
If only the iPad's iOS allows some sort of configuration for hot keys on the wireless keyboard. I do notice that the F5 and F6 are empty.
Cheers

I would only hope that the keyboard would turn off, not just when it isn't pairing with the computer, but for the keyboard that is paired (mine is) it would be best if it turned off after a period of no use. Here is what one man, not an Apple tech, said about the A1314 keyboard he was selling on ebay:
"The keyboard automatically powers down when you're not using it and turns on instantly as soon as you start typing. This intelligent power management means you'll get up to nine months of battery life based on average usage patterns. It also has an on/off switch for when you're away from your computer for a long time."
This doesn't indicate how many minutes of no use it needs before it 'powers down' (doesn't sound as good as really being turned off) and it also doesn't address the issue of knowing if your keyboard is on or off via the power button.
Even my dog electric training collar blinks twice when it is turned on and blinks three times when it is turned off. The Apple keyboard needs two indicator lights, one to tell you if it is searching for pairing and the other strictly as an on off indicator. I'm not going to loose any sleep over this, but it does seem like somebody was sleeping in the design department as this keyboard is really cool, but it doesn't convey the basic on/off information to the user.

Is there a alternative to flash for the ipad?

How can I view a site that requires flash with my ipad

Other options include Puffin and iSwifter. One of those might also work for you, though all such apps, including Skyfire, have limitations
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base, before you post a question.
Regards.

How about some specs on the Audigy/X-fi J1 hea

Many cases out there come with two front-panel audio jacks. One for headphones, and the other for the microphone. The Audigy and X-fi include a header (referred to as J) for OEMs to connect these. Information on using this jack is provided to large OEM's like Dell. However, Creative is a little hesitant tp help with the highly experienced mod community.Anyways, lets start with information on the passi've AC97 front-panel dongles that come with most cases. These are expected to be used with the onboard AC97 audio on your motherboard.Here is your typical NC (Normally Closed), switching type, 3 conductor (ring-tip-sleeve) mini-phone jack. This is the type of jack used on most front panels:
<IMG src="http://www.jve.com/images/typical.jpg">The connection to the sleeve is the rectangle on the left. The upper line with the notch is the connection to the ring, and the lower line with the notch is the connection to the tip. The jack also has two normally closed switches that connect to the contacts themselves. Wiring connections are illustrated with white circles. In a typical front panel setup, two of these are soldered onto a PCB with a header. Wires attached to this header are then run to the appropriate connections on your motherboards on-board audio.Now lets look at how an AC97 front panel headphone jack works:<IMG src="http://www.jve.com/images/fphp.jpg">
As you can see the switches in the jack are normally closed... So the signal passes from your motherboard, up the wire, into the headphone jack, back through the wire, into your motherboard. When a jack is plugged in, the switches are open, breaking the signal back to your motherboard.Now... I have to mention some ugliness. Some case manufacturers (*cough* Coolermaster, *cough* Silverstone) do something like this on the wires that connect to the motherboard:
<IMG src="http://www.jve.com/images/cooler.jpg">
This will result in your backpanel outputs (in other words, your speakers) continuing to receive a signal while you have headphones hooked up. Note that sometimes this is also accomplished with some trickery on the front panel dongle PCB.Here is how an AC97 microphone jack is expected to be wired:
<IMG src="http://www.jve.com/images/fphp2.jpg">
I haven't looked into the details of the microphone jack as much, but this is what you will see.Next I will go into Creatives J header. Here is the confirmed pin-out for the J header:
<IMG src="http://www.jve.com/images/fpoem.jpg">Note this is how the header is mounted on the card:<IMG src="http://www.jve.com/images/audigyj.jpg">
Pin 3, the headphone detection pin, is of particular interest. When this is switched to ground your back-panel connected will mute. These are the descriptions for the other pins floating around on the net, however I am not able to confirm their accuracy yet:
<BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr>
#5 Back-panel Mute -- short to ground
#7 key pin (shouldn't be there)#9 MIC IN MUTE -- ground when mic isn't plugged in, +2VDC when mic is plugged in#0 Audio cable detect -- will be ground when headphones are plugged in[/quote]
Pin 3 mutes all the speakers from my tests, however despite the the descriptions of others... grounding pin 5 appears to do nothing... not even mute the back microphone.Pin 9 doesn't appear to mute the microphone either. I am thinking if this pin gives 2V when the microphone is plugged in, that it is intended for optional analog circuits present on some panels (Microphone volume for instance). The AC97 spec provides a 5V pin for this, although no one seems to use it. I don't have the equipment handy on me to investigate further.Now... backtracking a bit here... if you read my previous post, you should see connecting the signal returns on your AC97 front-panel headphone jack to the headphone detection pin (#3) is a useless exercise. This pin is expecting to be grounded when the headphones are present.Essentially for the headphones Creative is requiring OEM's use this sort of jack:<IMG height=343 src="http://www.jve.com/images/bettaj.jpg" width=47>
This jack has a switch which is normally open. When a plug is inserted the switch closes. This kind of jack is purchasable from Foxconn and is present on the rare Intel HD Audio front panel dongles.... so they are available. (Intel HD Audio front panels are a whole different discussion, and have no direct relation to the J header.)Onto a few other things.... There was some talk of the microphone front-panel jack being mute without something in the back-panel mic jack. I however found the microphone front-panel jack did work, however the signal sounded a bit poorer. I did not investigate further.
It is understood that AC97 front-panel dongles are of limited use with the J header. However modders and prefectionists like myself ARE capable of building a frontpanel that fully complies with the requirements of the J header. The smaller pins on the header are already sufficient to keep any newbie that may damage his card, far away.
Will Creative please save us some time and reveal specifications for the J header? I already know what most of the pins do.Message Edited by twistedemotions on 09-20-2005 2:50 PM

Oracle eKit for the iPad. Course attended in 2009.

Saw a nice demo about Oracle eKit for the iPad on YouTube. I attended in 2009 a SQL training (received a PDF eKit). Is it possible to receive now Oracle eKit for the iPad? How?

Well you can obviously put can put your PDF on your iPAD via iBOOKs.
And I think you are able to downdown the Oracle eKit App for free ... whether thsi gives you anything with your existing PDF eKit I simply do not know. But you can try and report back.
I suspect Oracle will not upgrade your existing PDF eKit to a later eKit Plus.
I may be talking rubbish about all that. If I win the Euro-millions lotto I might buy an Oracle Training course, there again if I win the Euro-millions lotto I think I'll just eat Rasberry Pi. Others will know better.

Flash Player Protected Mode provides a modern, sophisticated set of security protections that we see as critical in today's security landscape.
We highly recommend that users not disable ProtectedMode. Also, it's worth noting that by manually changing your mms.cfg, you have opted out of Protected Mode for all future versions of Flash Player, as we will continue to honor that preference. This puts your system at risk, and that risk will continue to grow over time.
Ultimately, this is an issue with the RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in. There is a more technical explanation in the Mozilla bug referenced above in the thread, but the simplified version is that the security enhancements designed to prevent the introduction of malware via Flash Player make RealPlayer Browser Record plug-in no longer compatible with Flash Player for Firefox. You can disable the record functionality to eliminate this issue, while retaining the ability to view both Flash and Real Player content.
To disable the Real Player Browser Record functionality while maintaining the enhanced security provided by Flash Player with Protected Mode, do the following:
    Launch RealPlayer
    Click the RealPlayer icon in the upper-left corner of the window, and choose Preferences
    Choose Download & Recording from the left-hand menu
    Uncheck "Enable Web Download & Recording for these installed browser"
    Click OK

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.

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,
GB
