I really wish my iPad had Flash. There are things I can watch on my Mac, but not on my iPad. Inconvenient.

Is the iPad ever going to allow Flash to be installed?

Kilby,
Operating iPads in elementary schools, we've discovered a few ways around the 'no Flash' issue, and they're primarily cloud-based solutions:
Rover (a free app, on iTunes). Discovery Learning provides this app as a way for their client schools to access Discovery's libraries of flash-based interactive content. Works on other sites containing Flash as well.
Remote desktop apps: control to your Mac/PC from your iPad and view desired Flash content that way. I like 'SplashTop' (http://www.splashtop.com/remote) for its relatively easy configuration and good on-screen controls from the iPad.
More 'enterprise' solutions: Windows Remote Desktop -- try 'iTap Mobile RDP' app (iTunes) on your iPad to log into your Windows account at work. You get your full PC and all your files at your finger tips on your iPad.
Look for online subscriptions that offer HTML5 support (plays in Safari).
Then there's "OnLive Desktop", a cloud-based computing service (free or 'Plus') you can access via iPad. @Pogue recently wrote about it (NYTImes Feb 22, 2012: 'Windows on the iPad, and Speedy').
Stepping back a little, I think some of the iPad's popularity is due to how effective it is at slacking off. It's energy efficient, connected, and fun to use--while enjoying the computations of other 'real' computers. Still, it can be a pain in the @ when there's 'heavy lifting' to do.

    if the printer don't support that then you need to find a printing app in app store
    which will act the role as printer driver for the device to speak with the printer

  • I downloaded iOS 8 and my photo stream disappeared. The weird thing is, when I went to post an Instagram picture, they were all there. So I can access them on Instagram but not from the photos app... Help?!

    i have tried turning photo stream on and off and only a few come back

    In iOS 8 the PhotoStream album is lumped into the recently added photos album. Delete a photo there and you will delete it from your PhotoStream.

  • ICloud will sync with iCal & contacts on Mac but not iPhone or iPad

    I just got a new iMac and set up my calendar and contacts, essentially entering everything from my old exchange server (going away from the PC).  My iCloud syncs with the Mac, but every time I try with the iPhone or iPad it constantly is "searching" for the calendar and contacts, draining battery life.  I have spent the last two days doing hard resets, wiping clean and doing a system restore for my iPhone and iPad (very frustrating!!) and doing both a system recovery AND installing everything manually.  It is worth noting that iCloud worked on my iPhone and iPad BEFORE I set it up with the iMac and software is all up to date.  I have also deleted the iCal, exported a copy and rebooted the reset up the iCloud account.  Things always seem to work with the Mac, but not the mobile devices.  Will apple care even be able to help?  This is really frustrating as I have no contacts on my phone....

    OKAY FOLKS, I found the answer.  I figured the only explination could be with my iCloud Account.  I tried EVERYTHING, read every discussion on this topic.  It WASN'T b/c I had an old Mobile Me account.  It WASN'T b/c I didn't have the sttings right.  I rebooted, erased data, EVERYTHING.  The only solution was to create a NEW iCloud account - I chose a new address through Apple (me.com).  Even though I already have a me.com email address and a different Apple ID I figured starting fresh was the only way.  Sadly, I lost all of my calendar data (when I tried to import my old calendar data from a backup it was associated with the old iCloud account and could not be edited) but my contacts were saved.  I just re-entered my calendar information... figured this would be less time consuming than trying to reboot and research the issue 10 more hours!
    Here are the steps I used:
    1- iCloud was OFF on my iPhone to start
    2- Export your iCal and iContacts data from your Mac to a backup (you WILL lose your data)
    3- On iPhone went to Settings, iCloud and went through the proper steps to set up a new iCloud account with a NEW email address (me.com)
    4- On iMac under System Preferences I deleted my OLD iCloud account (it will prompt you stating you will lose your data or you can merge/save).  The only way I could get it to work was to accept the warning it was going to delete everything
    5- Set up a NEW iCloud account on my Mac with the NEW me.com account I set up on my iPhone.  Somehow my Contacts were kept in tact, uploaded to iCloud and to my iPhone.  Had issues with my iCal data, but I entered all the information manually.
    Everything is syncing great!  Haven't set this up yet on my iPad but will do that next.  I'm hopeful!!

    Hi melbernai - not sure if you've solved this problem yet. I had the exact same problem recently with my 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I solved it yesterday by simply updating iTunes to the most recent version, after which I could get rid of the register screen. The only other thing I needed to do to add my custom playlists was select "Manually manage music" on the screen for my iPod, since it had been in an automatic synching mode since the problem occurred.

    HTML link to pdf works ok on Mac but not on ipad. Adobe Reader for ipad downloaded. What's wrong?

    Hi pwillener,
    Thank for reply. The pdf’s are in a subfolder “PDF” of the folder holding the web page. The web page itself uses
    . This works in full size computer browsers but not in an iPad.
    My excursion through the search engine has produced the idea of adding #page = requesting page to the URL but I have not had time to try it perhaps without the = sign.

  • Using multiple desktops with a 4 finger swipe on a Mac Book Pro running Lion- is there a way that I can allow Safari open on several but not all??  Looks like I can set it for one but not others.  All, one, or nothing

    Hey Eric,
    Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
    Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

    There is another option if the Macbook will start up in Target Disk Mode.
    Restart the computer while holding down the T key. If you see the firewire symbol moving around on the screen you can connect this one to another one in TDM. You will need a suitable cable to connect the two Macs.

    Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception.  If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
    I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.

    I have installed the agent 10 or 15 times and one installation has failed, no error appeared during the installation but I am having inconsistent issues with my ethernet card not working here and there. We rebooted and can log into Novell client but the login prompt did not appear for ESM client or the icon was not in the systray. Everything seems to work, besides at times (a couple times today) it terminates his ethernet card/connection. I would re-image his computer but he has several applications and it would take several hours, so I am hoping someone has an idea to fix this issue. So I was trying to figure out why he did not get the prompt to login and why it's not in the systray and it appears to not have completed the install? I checked the add/remove programs, its not listed within their, I also checked the registry and found nothing for endpoint within their, but the files are within c:\program files\novell\zenworks endpoint security.
    I have also tried uninstalling it but that fails due to it "not being installed", and it will not reinstall over itself either.

    If you are searching the registry, check for the "Senforce" string. It should be at HKLM\Software\Senforce
    Try running the install program for the ZSC with the following command line:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1"
    If you've specified an uninstall password, try this one instead:
    setup.exe /V"STUNINSTALL=1 STUIP=password"" (please note the double quote at the end)
    Let me know if that helped you.
