HT4106 can you use this device to connect an external usb connection hard drive to the ipad?

I have  an I pad and external hard drive which i want to be able to connect together.... is this the device i need?

You can't connect a USB HD using the camera connection kit.
There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
Expand your iPad's storage capacity with HyperDrive

  • HT201441 I bought iPhone 4s device from the owner and the previous owner is not present and the device has already been erased, how can I use this device using my Apple ID and iCloud

    Hello adilx
    The only way to get passed that and to use that iPhone is to ask the previous owner to remove it from icloud.com in the Find my iPhone section.
    Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515
    If the previous owner is not present
    Make sure the device is powered on and connected to a Wi-Fi or cellular network. Then contact the previous owner and ask them to follow these steps to remove the device from their account:
    Sign in to their iCloud account at www.icloud.com/find.
    Click All Devices to open a list of devices linked to their account, then select the device to be removed.
    Click the Erase button to erase all content and settings from the device. When prompted, don't enter a phone number or message. Click Next until the device is erased.
    When the erase is complete, click "Remove from Account" to remove the device from the account.
    After the device is erased and removed from the account, you can proceed with the device setup process.
    Regards,

    Once iPhone - phone plan is terminated, can I use this device as a iTouch?

    Yes.  Look at the right panel under "More like this" and follow the links. At least one of them has a link to an Apple document that describes how to do it.

  • HT5299 Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    Thunderbolt-Can you use an  adaptor From a thunderbolt External drive to a firewire 800/400 Mac

    No. The Thunderbolt to Firewire adapters only work to connect a Firewire drive to a Thunderbolt port. They do not work in reverse, to connect a Thunderbolt-only drive to a Firewire port. If the only port your drive has is a Thunderbolt port and all you have on the Mac is Firewire, you can't use that drive with that computer.
    Regards.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Can I use this device with my Yamaha receiver to connect to my IPhone/IPad?

    Can I use the Apple airport express with my Yamaha stereo receiver to connect to our iPhone/IPad?

    Yes, but normally the Express will not be working in isolation from wireless network and it is the whole network that will determine if it works or not.. I also assume you mean to connect using the audio out of the express not ethernet.

  • Can you name this device?

    I have this wireless keyboard that I acquired over a year ago. I bought it off ebay with no knowledge of this strange connection. It is definitely a mac keyboard, but the wireless sensor has a weird connection plug that doesn't match any port on the emac. It has what looks like two PS/2 plugs, a male and female head. I cannot describe it any better than that, but I have pictures. I just want to find what the heck this thing is and if it would be possible to get an adapter to USB. Just check out the pics. Any help is appreciated.

    I actually use a microsoft digital media pro right now and I have programed the sleep key to eject the cd tray. When I bought the wireless one it was because I had this emac coming in the mail with no keyboard. I was so new to Mac that I wanted to have a Mac keyboard too. When I got the wireless off of ebay I had no idea it wouldn't hook up. I ended up going out to Best Buy and getting the microsoft after I realized there were no holes on the computer that fit the plugs, lol. Anyway, I dug the wireless out of a box yesterday while cleaning and wanted to see if it was possible to make use of it. Since it doesn't seem cost effective to play around with converters or that USB kit mentioned in the article, I just gave it to my daughter to play with this morning. Now it is nicely decorated with seashells and stickers. I really appreciate all of your help.

  • Can you use any Apple watch band on any Apple watch as long as the face size in the same?

    I was told you can only use the Sport bands on the Sport watches but that the Apple Watch and Apple Edition can take any band, is there any truth in this?

    If you go to the Watch site (on the menu bar above) and look at the different models you see that some models use a more integrated method of band attachment.  Others use a bar for attachement that allows more flexibility in band use.

  • How can you install Mac OS X Lion on a new, empty hard drive?

    If the only way to install Mac OS X Lion is by downloading it via the Mac App Store, it's going to be very difficult to put it on a brand-new hard drive unless Apple provides us with workarounds,So what should we do when want to install Mac OSX Lion on new HD?
    ThanQ

    What you get from the Mac App Store will be an Installer Application. You will be able to transfer that Installer from Mac to Mac. I have not seen it yet, but we may also be able to burn an installer disk, we shall have to see just how things work.
    Apple has always been known as an innovative company. And when they announce something new folks always go nuts with reasons that this cannot work. When Apple stopped making Macs with floppy drives and iMacs only had optical drives, people went crazy. Today no one makes computers with floppy drives.

  • Can I use my MBP 15 reboot CD to wipe a hard drive of a 13 inch MBP??

    I recently upgraded from my (late 2008/Early 2009?) 13 inch Macbook Pro to a brand spanking new 15 inch Macbook Pro, i5. I wanted to give away the 13 inch to a friend, however I lost the wipeout disks for that a long time ago and don't want all of my crap (and personal information) left on it.
    Can I use the new disks that I got for my 15 inch, or would i have to acquire the disks from elsewhere?
    Thanks!

    No. The gray discs that come with a Mac will only boot that particular model, built at about the same time.
    would i have to acquire the disks from elsewhere?
    Yes. Contact AppleCare, give them the serial number, and they'll send a new set for a small fee. The new owner will need them anyway.

  • After installing mountain lion, can i back up all my files from external time machine hard drive if i did the back up under Lion?

    Hi. Want to find out before installing new Mountain Lion if I will be able to restore all my files (music, documents....) from my external hird drive if the back up was done under Lion. Or it is better to simply copy everything, altough it would be good to keep iTunes, contacts etc as well as they are at the moment. Could someone please tell me how to do it so I can go on with it and will not have to struggle after the installation? Many thanks.

    You can do this. If you did an OS X Mountain Lion clean install, it will ask you to restore a backup, so connect a Time Machine disk and restore that

  • Is there a way to connect an external hard drive to the iPad 2?

    I have a lot of music and movies stored on an external hard drive and want to know if there is a way to get it onto my iPad?

    Connect the drive to your computer, add them to ITunes and sync to the iPad.
    If you do not want them to copy to your internal drive, iTunes prefs > Advanced.
    Uncheck Copy to ITunes media folder when adding to library.
