How can I use my iPad 4gen as a MIDI controller?

Hello there,
I have the iPad 4 generation. I have been reading that it is possible to use my iPad as a MIDI controller to help me with making music on my Windows computer and want to do this. What I've seen on the Internet from other people, is that they use an iPad camera adapter with other cables to connect to their computers. I have a few concerns with this, one was that if it can only be done with jail breaking my iPad, if it does please let me know so I just don't try it. Another concern that I have, if i can actually do this without jail breaking, is that I have the new Lighting connection and I see people do it with the old 30 pin connection and want to know if I can still do it with this iPad.
If I there are adapters I can use with my iPad 4 generation can you help me out by telling what I need to buy to do this with my iPad.
Thanks,
Alan V.

Hi there,
At this time you cannot use your iPad as a display like you describe.
However, you can buy the extra Camera Connection Kit, to import video and pictures from some camera's and SD Cards.
I urge you to submit feedback to Apple:

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?

How can I use an iPad with two itunes accounts?
Hi there
My partner has a works iPad, which has her works Apps on (ones that are specifically made by her company and are NOT available in the App store).
What I want to be able to do is to ALSO have my itunes account on there so that I can put all the apps I have purchased previously from my iPhone on it.
This is so I can put on VLC player (thats already in my itunes account) so I can add videos to the iPad.
How do I do this please?
I tried it before by connecting it to my mac, but it wiped everything off the iPad completely and also deleted the data settings for using 3G.
So I want to avoid this happening again the future as it had to be sent back to her head office to be sorted again.
Any advise please?
Thanks

You can't. The iPad is desgined to be a 'one user' device and only really works with one apple ID at a time.
The only way would be if she, at work and with her work apple id, downloaded your apps (repurchasing them of course).
It's not meant to be a multiple user/multiple ID device.

How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections. The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections? The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it. Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.) It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad. If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350. Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

Assuming there won't be any wi-fi netwokrs, will there be cellular reception there?
If so, you need to check if a carrier or the carrier if there is only one, offers a data only plan for the iPad and similar devices along with providing a mico-SIM card. If a carrier offers a data only plan with a full size SIM card, you can cut the SIM card down to mico-SIM size. There are devices that provide for this.
If there is cellular reception but a carrier or the carrier doesn't have a data plan only for the iPad and similar devices but offers a tethering plan for phones on their network, you can tether your iPad to the cell phone for internet access via the carrier's cellular network.

How can I use my iPad in France

I live in Canada and I am going to France and Italy in August. How can I use my iPad in Europe.

Do you have a wifi only version or a 3G one?
You can always use free wifi services, anywhere, so hotels, cafe's, restaurants, libraries, and so on which offer free wifi will be available to you (there are even travel web sites available that will list what is available if you search a bit).
If you have the most recent iPad, you can also get a SIM card when over there, with a local carrier and use that (the newest iPads all have international GSM slots).
Or, ask your Canadian carrier what sort of international plans/roaming they may offer.
All depends on just how much access you want or need, and how much you are willing to pay for it. Free is free, a local carrier will almost certainly be cheaper than any roaming plan, but you may need to research who offers what plans (a pre-paid local SIM would be the best option).

How can i use my ipad in canada?

You can certainly use your iPad in Canada. You'll need to find out from your cellular carrier though if you can use cellular in Canada with paying hige roaming charges.
If there will be roaming charges, or if your carrier will not let you use cellular in Canada, you can still use the iPad. Turn off Cellular in Settings. You can still connect to Wi-Fi anywhere you go.

How can I use my iPad and iPhone in Europe without incurring high costs?

How can I use the iPad to communicate in the Netherlands without incurring huge charges?

Depends on how you are planning on communicating. If you use Wif, then no. If you are using cellular data, you would need to discuss this with your carrier. We wouldn't know here.

Hi,my friend has forgot his ipad 4 password,how can he use his ipad?any other ways expect restore??

Forgotten passcode (Recovery Mode)
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.

How can I use the sustain pedal of my MIDI keyboard (novation launchkey)?

How can I use the sustain pedal of my MIDI keyboard (novation launchkey) in a normal way? The tone holds itself and I stop this by using the sustain pedal? I need help

There are two types of sustain pedal... One's with + polarity and ones with - polarity
The sustain pedal you are using, has the oppostie polarity from the standard.. which means when you press it it acts as if it is not pressed and vice versa...
Unfortunately, unlike a lot of keyboards... the Launchkey doesn't provide a setting that allows you to correct this issue... which means that unless the pedal you are using has a built in polarity switch...(In which case power down your keyboard, unplug the pedal and select the opposite setting to what is set now and then plug it back in and power up your keyboard) your sustain pedal is the wrong type and is not compatible with the Launchkey....
Failing that, here is an example of a sustain pedal that has a polarity switch so you can use it with any keyboard....

How can I use an iPad upgrade for an iPhone?

My iPad (Verizon) and iPhone were stolen from my car. My iPad has an upgrade available. I understand that normally the iPad can only be upgraded to another tablet. But someone told me I may be able to switch the upgrade to a phone.
I have an old Verizon phone I'm not using. I think the process was perhaps to activate this old phone on the iPad's phone number then upgrade to an iPhone. Or perhaps it was to activate the old phone on a new line and then switch the iPad's upgrade to it. I am not sure.
Can anyone see a way to use my iPad upgrade toward a new iPhone?

Hi damormino,
Oh my! That definitely sounds upsetting. I fully understand how aggravating it can be to have your devices stolen. The good news is, we do have options. Do you recall if insurance was selected on either lines? When it comes to upgrading a tablet line unfortunately our system does document the type of upgrade and type of device that was previously used even if you were to activate a basi device. My sincere apologies that you would be unable to utilize this upgrade to obtain a smartphone or basic device. Have you considered utilizing http://vz.to/ZILXBT? Please keep us posted, thanks!

How can I use the iPad as a sound source for my Mac?

I would like to be able to record sound off my iPad, onto my Mac. (I'm using a musical app that only allows me to save short recordings, so I would like to plug my iPad into my Mac and record the music into my Mac, into Audacity or something.)
I know you can't just connect the iPad from the headphone jack, so I'm wondering what equipment I would need.
I've heard that the iPad camera connector can be used to export audio out, does anyone know how that works?
Or, are there any iPad apps available that will make exportable sound recordings of any sounds your iPad is making (from any other app?) You know, like a screen shot, but for sound instead?
(BTW, I am not interested in streaming music from my iPad. I already know how to do that. I'm trying to export audio from a musical instrument app I'm using.)

Unfortunately that link doesn't provide the info I'm looking for...
Answering part of my own question: it ISN'T possible to record audio on the iPad from one app to another. Technically not possible, so there are no apps that serve this purpose.
So, I'm still looking for details on how to connect my iPad to my Mac and use it as a sound source. I would like to record directly onto my Mac whatever sounds my iPad is outputting, by connecting the iPad to the Mac's audio input in some way.

How can I use my iPad to watch DVDs in the gym?

How can I import a DVD into my Ipad so I can watch a movie while inthe gym?

Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers and portable devices. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature. Walmart/Vudu also has a service that basically gives you a digital copy of a DVD you already own. See:
