I need an external harddrive for my ipad

My ipad is running out of harddrive space for my music. I need an compatible external harddrive to store my music. I want to have my music stored on an external harddrive and be able to play it wirelessly on my ipad as needed. I was looking at Seagate Blutooth harddrive, however, I an not sure it will work.

I have a friend that told me he is using a Seagate external drive and it is working. I did not see any that stating it's compatible with the ipad. My friend he is using Seagate 1TB Backup Plus Slim

    I personally dont have one but the reviews are quite good. though I would think with the 10 hour battery in an iPad you wouldnt need to recharge during the day, unless you are heavily using the iPad.

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

  • Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. Then iWork would be listed as purchased app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account...

    Will I need to purchase iWork for my iPad if I purchase an iPhone 5s? Everybody knows the iPhone 5s with IOS7 gives iWork for free. I assume that if I buy an iPhone 5s (or 5c) then iWork would be listed as a "purchased" app in my itunes store under my account. My iPad retina is in the same account... or are keynote, pages, and numbers completely seperate between ipad and iphone? I know they would be a seperate purchase for my Powerbook. Thanks so much for your help!

    Hi,
    I was able to load the Productivity Suite / Free !!  on both my iPad mini and my iPhone 5s with no problems and at no cost.

  • Do I need a screen guard for my Ipad? If yes which one to get? You get a **** lot of variety in the market.

    Do I need a screen guard for my Ipad? If yes which one to get? You get a **** lot of variety in the market.

    I originally had a Zagg screen cover but they are tricky to install good. Too easy for a piece of lint or such to get under them. I replaced it with a cheap 'three covers for 5 dollars' screen protector. It's a bit annoying because its glossy....but right now I have my iPad in a Zagg portfolio so it's in a case with a keyboard - and there are little rubber bumpers that touch the iPad, and I like the thought of having the screen protector there just in case.
    Look for one that advertises no residue and that clings more by static than any adhesive. I'd also look and see if it advertises clarity and a matte surface...the glossy iPad screen can be a bit tricky in the wrong lighting.
    I'll always have one on mine, just because. I've sunk a chunk o change into this and I'd like to protect it.

  • Can I back up my photos on my iphone directly to an external harddrive for safekeeping?My Mac laptop is full.

    can I back up my photos on my iphone directly to an external harddrive for safekeeping?My iPhone is full and my Mac laptop is full. What is the best solution besides buying a new laptop?

    Not "directly" but you can use the MacBook to send the backup to the external HD.
    iTunes > preverences > advanced
    Use the function buttons to change the location of the Media Folder Location.

  • Best Raid 5 expandable external harddrives for video editing & storage.

    Hi,
    I'm hoping to get opinions and recommendations from the community concerning the best Raid 5 expandable external harddrives for HD video editing and storage. Initially, I'd like to start with an 8tb and have it expandable to 16tb, that will work with both Mac and PC. There seem to be a number of options, but it's difficult to find reviews from video editors. It would be nice to stay under $ 2,000.00.
    Thanks for any input.
    Heather

    If the brief includes "fast enough for video editing", you are looking for an editing solution.
    If you want it to be fast enough to edit video and be shared by two computers, you are looking at a server type system connected through a very fast network interface (fibre, dual channel iSCSI)
    If this is the case, $2k is not going to do it.
    What it comes down to is this - Basic backup can be had relatively inexpensively as can direct connect RAID systems. The complexity and cost comes from the shared network storage with enough bandwidth to support multiple systems.
    What do you want for your $2000?

  • External HDD for an Ipad?

      Does anyone have any recommendations for an external HDD for an Ipad?
    Also what will be better Wifi or bluetooth?
    Thanks DeXTeR

    Best way to do that is to download the movies on your computer. Then when you want them sync them over to the Ipad(before traveling). Thats what I do. Its the fastest way.
    You could store the movies or all of Itunes on an external HD. To save room on your computer(if thats getting full). Just move the Itunes files to your external. Then downloaded movies from the computer will save there.
    So its back to either from your computer or downloading from the "Cloud". Only thing again the HDD is going to do is save room on your computer if you have alot of movies. Apple Tv streams, so thats no help in this case.

  • Having macbook search my external harddrive for itunes/music

    short story/question:
    my itunes library with all my music (1000+ songs, and iphotos) is on one of those external harddrive firelite things. how do i set up my macbook to search for the itunes library on my external harddrive, rather defaulting to an itunes library mistakenly loaded on my computer?
    long story: (bare with me, because i'm in a panic stress mode without my music)-
    my kids both have macbooks. my daugther made a video that was on a flashdrive. she couldn't get the flashdrive to open the video on her macbook. unbeknownst (?word) to me, she inserted her flashdrive into my macbook. my external harddrive, with all my music on it was NOT hooked into my macbook at the time.
    when she inserted the the flashdrive, the macbook said something like "can't find itunes, would you like to choose an itunes folder?" i still didn't realize she was using my macbook, so i clicked on "choose a folder". now i get a little confused, but two folders came up, the first was labled "itunes", i believe that was an old folder we (apple geniuses) had labled as the orginial music in my library for my external harddrive. there was also a second folder i remember creating labled, itunes1 (or something), which i believe was an updated copy of the most recent music on my external harddrive. i had to give the folder a different name otherwise it wouldn't accept the music again. i thought i deleted the original folder though, after i made a copy of the most recent music. i'm digressing though, sorry.
    anyway, i chose the first itunes folder, and her flashdrive video didn't open, so i clicked on the second folder. her video opened up. she was happy. she removed the flashdrive (the wrong way, by just pulling it out. then inserted it again, and removed it correctly.
    as she went to shut down the computer, i realized she was using MINE rather than hers or her brother's. i flipped, because know i realized i somehow download some form of origin itunes setup directly onto my macbook.
    i inserted my external harddrive with my music, and needless to say, it couldn't find my music. i double clicked on the external harddrive to try to find or open the music... nothing. i find it hard to believe that i lost my music off my external harddrive, considering it was never connected in the first place.
    other issue- i recently downloaded some music (from a grateful dead website) not off itunes (which i rarely if ever do). when i clicked on "a button" in itunes, it seemed to download just that music into, i believe the itunes on my macbook. (that music was also in my external harddrive).
    bottom line:
    how do i get my macbook to search for my intues folder/music that was on my external harddrive, rather than on the macbook itself?  i think the macbook needs to know to search the external hardrive, rather than the macbook itself.
    i have an appointment with the apple genius bar on saturday, but if someone thinks there's a simple solution that i can do (that will ALWAYS work to have my computer search my external harddrive, rather than the itunes folder on the macbook itselft). i'm willing to try.
    my biggest fear... losing, or having lost ALL of my music and photos from the external harddrive.
    btw: i hopefully have most of that music backed up to a SECOND external harddrive. which i bought just in case the first one crashed.
    help. please. and thanks for listening.
    not sure which macosx i have. i think it's 10.6.8, but it may be 10.6.7.  i'm typing from work now.
    thanks,
    anthony

    My guess is that you have set up your iTunes library up on the external drive using some sort of alias (been a long time since I've done that and cant recall the exact procedure). At some point you've probably launched iTunes without the external drive connected, and iTunes created a second library on your computer, and is now defaulting to that library. I think you should search for the directions on how to set up a library on an external drive, and re-apply that hack.

  • External harddrive for Mac G5

    Hi
    I would like to get an external firewire harddrive for my mac G5 any sugestions out there.
    Kindest Regards
    Joe

    This reply may not be very popular, but here goes...
    I usually watch the Sunday paper for circulars from places like CompUSA, Staples, Office Max, ect. If you look at the sale section, you can normally find Firewire external cases. I have built five of these and the cost has been minimal. The nicest cases, in my opinion, are two Acom Data cases I found at CompUSA for $29.99. They came with Firewire (400) cables too! In these two cases, I mounted a Maxtor Diamondmax 10 300GB drive and a Maxtor Diamondmax 9 200GB drive. So, with these two drives I have almost 500GB of storage. I believe I paid $79.99 (after instant savings and mail-in rebates) for the 300GB drive (at Staples, I believe). So, for $110 I have a 300GB external Firewire drive. The drive is fast and I can boot my machine from it.
    My daughter needed a drive for her iMac about 6 months ago. I bought a 40GB Maxtor mechanism for $20 on eBay. I found a Firewird case for $20, also on eBay. I think it cost me less than $5 to ship each item to me. So, for less than $50, she has a 40GB external Firewird drive.
    Just last week, my son needed a new drive. Office Depot had a special in their circular on a 100GB Maxtor Diamondmax 10 drive. After all of the rebates, the drive mechanism's cost is $19.95. I found an old Firewire case in the garage and now he has a 100GB external Firewire drive.
    If you don't forsee the need to boot from the drive, you could buy a case that only has a USB 2.0 interface. These are actually more readibly available and usually less expensive.
    I don't know why more people don't put their own drives together. It's really easy and saves lots of money.

  • I need Lacie external harddrive help

    I've been using my Lacie Rugged external harddrive with my Macbook for a while. my macbook crashed for somereason and I'm trying to use the harddrive on the gateway computer in the house. The first time it was plugged in the computer said that a new thing was found and it was installed but now I can't find it on the computer to use it. theres a chance that it might not be working correctly because there is a dent on the fount of it, but its probably just that I'm not looking in the right place for it.

    ok well for anybody elts that may need an answer to this ... go to the start menu, right click on my computer. click on the manage option. go into computer managment, storage, disk managment, your harddirve should show up on the bottom of the list (the list will be at the bottom of the window) and um, right click on it ... then I forget. If you need to you could probably figure it out. I found the instructions for this at the lacie website .... but i think formatting might erase stuff on it and then you can't get your mac stuff off of it onto a pc. thanx for your help though.
