I would like to use my ipad to extend my macbook desktop, dual screen concept.

Air Display is one I've seen mentioned in a number of places:

I have no experience with it myself.

    How can i use ipad with appletv

    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How can I use AirportExtreme to extend range of iMac based AirportNetwork ?

    I've read a lot of infomation about using Airport Extreme or Express to extend a network that has an Airport Extreme base station as its 'hub' via WDS, but nothing about the case where the 'hub' (that creates the network and is connected to the internet) is not a base station, but a computer.
    I have a cable modem connected directly (Ethernet) to my iMac G5. My MacBookPro can connect to the internet via an Airport network created by the iMac, but i need to extend the range of this. A friend has given me an Airport Extreme that he isn't using and I have spent all day trying to get it to connect to the iMacs network ... to act as a 'relay', but can't see how to do it.
    (I can get the iMac, and MacBookPro to connect to a network created by the Airport Extreme with no problems, but not the other way round) .... Please help, i'm going crazy with this !

    Hi SGIII,
    I just wanted to say thanks for kick starting me. I am well on my way to accomplishing this task with some modifications to the Applescript source you provided. I figured out that I would need to loop through the input and lookup each individual character in the dictionary (so I created a separate service to handle simple dictionary lookup). I parse the definition using your suggested code wrapped into a function, and then append the output. Right now it's close but not perfect: showing this output for the characters above:
    "wǒshìAměiAguórén" (the A is wrong and the reason is that I need to change the delimiter to factor that some definitions will have a capital A in them). I will share the finished script on my pastebin.
    ----on run {input, parameters}
    set my_string to "我是美国人" --input
    set output to ""
    repeat with counter_variable_name from 1 to count of my_string
      set current_character to item counter_variable_name of my_string
      set current_definition to do shell script "automator -i " & current_character & " ~/Library/Services/GetChineseDefinition.workflow"
      set output to output & parseForPinyin(current_definition)
    end repeat
    --end run
    on parseForPinyin(character_input)
      set pyCharSet to {"a", "ā", "á", "ǎ", "à", "b", "c", "d", "e", "ē", "é", "ě", "è", "f", "g", "h", "i", "ī", "í", "ǐ", "ì", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "ō", "ó", "ǒ", "ò", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u", "ū", "ú", "ǔ", "ù", "ǖ", "ǚ", "ǜ", "w", "x", "y", "z"}
      set {oTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, "①"}
      set cc to (character_input as string)'s text items's item 1's characters 2 thru -1
      set py to ""
      repeat with c in cc
      if c is in pyCharSet then set py to py & c
      end repeat
      set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oTID
      return py
    end parseForPinyin

  • How can I use ipad for a phone.

    I want to use my ipad2 as a phone (i am outside USA)
    and use a blue tooth ear piece for phone call to limit my devices as I travel a lot.
    I also would like to know how to use VOIM like vonge call fowarding etc...

    You tried it with Skype or other similar service?
    You can get a Skype phone number and treat your web enabled device (laptop or iPad) as a phone.
    Not sure about the Bluetooth thing though, worth a try.
    There are some logistical issues however, for one you need complete internet access. if you lose 3G service your system probably wont work on a degraded network like Edge or GPRS.
    Also, incoming calls will not behave the same way as an incoming call on your phone, for example, you'll need to enter your password before you can access Skype and then launch the app. Chances are you'll have missed the call by then.
    Hope this helps, let me know if you try any of it.

  • HT4623 How can i use ipad applications simultaneously?

    Does anyone know how ipad can operate multi applications simultaneously like on windows?
    Many thanks

    My advice: get the app.
    Instead of relying on your experience as a computer user, branch out into the world of apps. Apps (or at least, good ones) are optimized for viewing comfort so you can read - and enjoy your reading.
    Use the New York Times app for basic news. Some of the better magazine apps include New Yorker and Science News. Flipboard is outstanding as a visual approach to news. The major networks and news aggregators offer technically agile apps for news.
    Perhaps you can list what you're using for read your news, and we can come up with something that will do the same job, better.

  • How can I use iTunes in 2 desktops simultaneously?

    I wonder if I could have iTunes Visualizer running on one desktop and streaming to my TV via AppleTV and at the same time be able to use a second desktop on the same computer or on the laptop to switch songs without interrupting Visualizer.
    Is there a way to do it? Or maybe use the Extended Display capabilities with AppleTV?

    OS and Aperture versions?

  • How can i use Ipad's ITunes movies with Samsung 52 inch LED HDTV LN52B750U1F

    Hi there and happy holidays!  I have a LN52B750U1F 52 inch TV and for the first time ever want to play iTunes movies from my iPad on the TV.  I tried reading the manual but it is all gibberish to me - I am a tech idiot.  I plugged the USB into both of the USB ports on the TV from the iPad and the TV recognized the iPad and the pictures, but had No Contect for movies / video.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!

    You can not connect to the USB port on the TV. You need to purchase an AV cable or use a WiFi network and Apple TV to stream the content using AirPlay.
    Here's the HDMI adapter http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a
    Or the composite cable for an alternative conection http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=3a

  • How can I use Ipad to view and delete photos from SD card without importing?

    Importantly I would like to view the photos from the SD card in full screen (vs. just a thumbnail) before deciding whether to delete.
    It seem's that with the camera connection kit you can only view them as thumbnails before importing. 
    Any other apps or hardware I could consider?
    Basically I would like to use the Ipad as my travel photo editing tool - specifically I want to be able to delete unwanted photos from my SD card without having to actually import them into the Ipad (but would like to be able to benefit from quality of ipad screen to actually review the photos before deleting).
    Thanks in advance for any tips you can share .....

    You must import if you want the iPad to have a file to display on the screen. 

  • How can I use iPad w/o syncing to iTunes?

    I'm having trouble installing iTunes.  I can go through the entire installation process (will ask my agreeance to the license, run quicktime, etc) and right before the final step I keep getting this message:    "Administrator has set policies against this installation" .   I removed the firewall,  the only one I think I have.. What else can I do to sucessfully install iTunes to my PC??  

    Is it your computer? Are you logged into the Admin account? Currently there is no way to activate an iPad 2 without iTunes.
    That will change this Fall with iOS 5, which will cut the cable. But until then we are stuck with using iTunes.

  • How can I use java with DMI(Desktop Management Interface)? Help please..

    I want to use Java to develop DMI. Please help...Thanks.

    You are not getting replies because your question may need a course to answer. Just like, hey, can someone tell me how to write an email application? Or,
    Can someone show me how to build a house?
    Start writing your application, when you get stucked, post your questions.
    Or, at least be more specific. Like, elaborate DMI and things like that.
    Do a search on DMI, you may find what you need.

  • How can i use ipad after erasing it

    I cannot access my ipad after I erased it, I don't have access to the old email and the pass word and security questions aren't working, what can I do so that I can set it up again?

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must enter the previous Apple ID and password to use the device. If you cannot remember the old Apple ID and password ou will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.
