Can I connect my iPad Mini to my computer to tap into my internet stick (T-Mobile) devise for internet?

That depends entirely on your computer.  Some computers have the ability to share out their internet connection wirelessly to other devices
Consult your computers Manual or Help file for details.
The iPad can only connect to the internet wirelessly. So if you can get your computer to share its connection wirelessly you should be able to connect the iPad.

  • Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

    Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

    The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
    You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
    Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

    If the projector supports HDMI input.

  • Can I connect an ipad to a different computer than my iTunes library

    I have a quick question.
      I have an ipad that I purchased and used for a while in my home.  I synced it with my library on my computer. 
    My sister was looking to buy one for her son who has austium.  I gave her mine and left it synced to my library because of my kids I had alot of Apps that would be useful for her.
      She wants to transfer some photos to the ipad for her son to use in certine apps but does not want to have to email them all to the device just to get them on the device.
    So my question is can she connect the iPad to her home Computer and transfer the photos to iPad without loosing the information that is already on the iPad.  such as if she were to download iTunes onto her comp and sign in using my account info that she already has for purchasing apps.
    Reason for asking is that I live in Connecticut and she lives in Georgia, so the easy trip of handing the ipad back to me to sync doesn't work well.
    Thanks for any input you can give.
    Jeffrey

    Then you need the composite cable shown in the following:

  • Can't connect my ipad mini with comcast wifi?

    My wifi with Comcast keeps disconnecting from my Ipad Mini and I can't get it back on.

    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-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 droping 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

  • How can I connect my ipad to a new computer?

    My computer broke down and I need to sync the contents of myipad to the new computer.
    Does anybody know how to do that?
    Thanks for your help.

    You followed these steps and it did not work for you? This is copied from the discussion thread. When you get to step 5, try restoring from the backup that you just created in step 4.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.
    From here down are my remarks and not the OP's remarks from the other discussion ....
    Any music content, photos or movies in your iTunes library that was not purchased in iTunes will have to be transferred from your old computer to your new one. If you don't have a backup of the old iTunes library to access, you have to start all over again by importing your music, photos and movies into the new iTunes library in order to sync the content to the iPad.

    Epson has a bit of software called EasyMP for PC's or Macs - this can be used wired USB / VGA / HDMI - or used wirelessly from either device without too much trouble.
    If you give the Projector an IP Address in its own "Settings" Menu and then connect wirelessly using Epson's iProjection App for the iPad it should work.
