I want my iPad to play over my car speakers  I do not want a frequency transmitter device.  Do I have any alternatives.  I am not sure about adapters.

I second what Thoma said. If there is the little headphone in, then you can buy a cord to plug the headphone out of your ipad into the input in your car.
Failing that, see if you can pair via blue tooth.
Or the fallback is an FM transmitter. I've used one of these for years. In fact, the one i use was meant to go with a MP3 player that broke years ago. They're very simple. the transmitter sends the music out of your ipad 'out' on a specified frequency (due to radio stations these transmitters often have many frequencies to choose from) you then tune y our radio to that specific frequency and you hear your ipad.
Occasionally, if you're driving cross country, you may need to tweak the frequency (if you get within range of an existing station using that same frequency) but they're very easy to use.
I often take motorpool cars, so I just carry with me the transmitter and a 1/8-1/8 cord and I'm set for any situation i find myself in

  • Can i use my Ipad to track my sons iPhone.  He is not sure if find my iPhone is turned on on his phone as he has recently got it.  It is an older model iPhone.  He lost it last night

    CAn I use ipad to track my sons iPhone. He is not sure if find my iPhone is turned on on his phone as he has only recently got it.  He lost it last night and needs to find it.  His phone is an older model phone.  Version 4.3.1

    But before you give up, read tonefox post above. I am assuming that 4.3.1 is the iOS that's on the phone. If that is the case, he couldn't have find my iPhone or iCloud. They need iOS 5.
    You have to be signed into your son's Apple ID in order to track it on your device.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can i play my phone calls over my car speakers?

    For some reason after installing my bluetooth I can hear my game sounds over my car stereo speakers. I've always wanted to be able to hear my phone calls over my speakers. Does anyone know if I can do this and if so, how do you set it up? Thanks.

    Sure, if your car has the right features ...
    My (and a lot of other) car(s), have a bluetooth pairing capability that includes a microphone in the car (ceiling).
    So I can play music through the car speakers, and if a phone call comes in, the music will stop (iPhone feature) and once I answer the call (which I can do from pushbuttons on the steering wheel), I can talk (through the car's microphone) and hear (through the car's speakers).
    Check out if your car is set up for this.

  • I have an ipad 3/32GB..I need more storage and not sure how to make better use of icloud and release GB

    To add to my original question: I had a 1st generation ipad and 32GB was more than enough storage now I'm having trouble making movies, adding media, etc. I have bought another 15GB of storage on I cloud. Can I put all of my apps on i cloud?
    I'm going to be taking an overseas flight and wanted to rent a bunch of movies but I'm not sure how to do that.
    I would be grateful for any help
    sherrislp

    To answer your question, you could remove your apps and then download them again as needed. Your purchased apps are part of what is stored in iCloud and purchased apps do not count against the allotment anyway - As far as I know.
    You would want to backup to iCloud before you delete the apps. If it were me, I would also back up and sync with iTunes - I still use iTunes and I back up to both iCloud and iTunes.
    The suggestion that James made would be OK for bringing the movies with you on the trip .... But you need to be able to use WiFi in order to use the device and the way that I read your question, you want to download movies to watch on the flight. So that will not work on the airline flight. It would store the content for later viewing but won't work on the flight. That is my understanding of the GoFlex drive, but you would have to investigate it further.

  • HT204368 My bluetooth conects with both cars, however, the phone audio is not played thru the cars speakers (it did in the past)

    My iphone 4s used to connect with my car's bluetooth seamlessly, until the other day.  It shows that it is connected on the car screen, but no audio from the phone call is played thru the car.  I have to use the speaker phone to hear the phone call and hold the phone to my mouth for people to hear me.  This happens in my car and my wife's car.  Any ideas???

    Well, to rule out any issues with the phone software I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
    Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.

  • HT4859 Documents in icloud created on mac do not appear in "Pages" on my iPad.  However, items I created on my Ipad do appear in the could and can be opened on my mac.  Documents is "on" in icloud settings on both devices.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Documents is on in settings for icloud on both devises.  Doc in icloud.  I created them on the mac and can see them.  I cannot open them in pages on ipad.  Docs I create on ipad can be sen on icloud and can be opened on my Mac.  Anyone have any ideas?

    SADLY  not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
    i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
    but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
    i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
    i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
    and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
    It doesn't/
    if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
    I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
    any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

  • I have a MacBook Pro, iPhone and Ipad. For over 4 months i've been receiving email on all three devices. Then all of a sudden my iphone and ipad can't download my email. Have i accidentally done something so only my MacBook Pro can download/receive email?

    Please help!

    You have 10.6 on that machine, I suggest you stick with it for performance, third party hardware and software reasons as long as possible.
    Consider 10.8 (not 10.7) when it's released, because 10.7 and 10.8 will require a new investment in software and newer third party hardware as it requires newer drivers the old machines won't have. (forced upgrade because of software, really nice of them)

  • My husband and I have separate iTunes accounts and multiple devices (iPads, iPhones, iPods etc) how do we share our music and apps between our devices if we have different iTunes accounts.

    Help! My husband and I have multiple devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod ) that we we have linked to individual iTunes accounts ie he has his account with iPad, iPhone, PC and iPod linked/sync and I have my account with iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, PC etc.. How do we share our music and apps across/between our accounts?

    It probably means that only one of you can use iCloud or at least sync calender/contacts with it. I would guess that you could manually manage the other phone as you have before.

  • Have IPAD 1 and since uploading os5 I cannot upload pictures from my Sony camera. Error message reads the USB is not compatable. I'm not sure about the new os, how do I go back to what worked?

    Have an IPad 1 and since upgrading to os 5 nothing seems to be working as before.  Current problem is I cannot upload pictures from my camera...error message "USB not compatable".  Using Apple's converter...how do I go back to the old OS?

    Nirve-
    I do not think there will be any way to revert back to an earlier system.
    The "current" problem with some cameras and card adapters resulted from Apple changing the amount of current available to USB devices, apparently to prevent them from running down the iPad's battery.  It appeared when the iOS was updated from 3 to 4.  On my iPad 2, I find that a little bit more current is available now under iOS 5.
    One way to get around the problem is by using a powered USB hub.  Another is to remove the card from the camera and use the SD adapter from the Camera Connection Kit.  If your Sony used a CF card, then you will need to find a CF-to-USB adapter that does not draw too much current.  I have one that works, but also have a couple that do not.

  • Playing music in car with iPhone is not easy!

    I'm still using my old iPod Classic when in my car as I find the physical 'press' of a button easier (and safer) to use than having to look down to my iPhone to locate the correct area of the screen to touch to get to the next song or playlist etc.
    But, maybe I'm missing something? Surly lots of people are using their touch screen phones in the car these days to listen to music via iTunes or Spotify. So does anyone know of a simple way to move forwards and backwards through songs without having to take my eyes off the road?
    THANKS

    Ah Shucks.  Sorry, obviously you can use the remote control on any standard headphones to skip forward (you double click the centre pause/start/stop button), everyone knows that right? ....but when I connect it to a headphone doubler to allow headphone control whilst still piping the other output to the car stereo it fails.  This is because my doubler/splitter only doubles the left and right audio channels, not the third prong* which mediates the remote control.  Find a headphone doubler which has left/right AND the third prong and you'd probably be set!!
    So I guess>>>> you could just wear headphones and use that remote control whilst you drive!!
    *technically the standard old fashioned headphone socket had left/right and "earth" or "common", but the newer iPhone type have left/right/earth AND an extra one.  The extra one can do various things depending on the usage, but relaying mono microphone and/or simple remote control functions is the most common.
