IPad and File Share

I need to replace my PC and do not have the funds at the moment to purchase a mac and then I realized that my iPad should be able to function as a computer. 
My question is, if i have something like the Apple TimeCapsule, can I use the TimeCapsule as a file share to access documents on my iPad when my document library is too large to fit on my iPad?  I have a 16gb iPad and would be using this for small business use creating publications and legal documents.  To take it one step further, can iCloud be configured to save and access my documents on the TimeCapsule, giving me access to those files from anywhere?
I haven't purchased the TimeCapsule yet and I wanted to do all of my research first before I did.
Thanks

You can, but if you are using this for a business application, you can almost guarantee that situations will arise where you need a full computer.  Advance formatting, serious spreadsheet work, all require more horsepower or better control than you get with the pad.
The pad is a great add on to a pc, but is not an effective substitute for a pc, particularly in a business application.
You don't need a Mac.  Get a low end pc from best buy.   You can store and exchange documents in the cloud or drop box as needed.

  • How do I transfer PDF files from PC to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook but can't get it to work in latest 12.1.2 version.

    How do I transfer PDF files from PC (Windows 7) to IPAD using Itunes 12.1.2.  I would like to do files manually rather then auto synch.  Previous versions let me drag file in Itunes to Ipad and files appeared under Ibook and then I could move them to an appropriate collection title.  The interface appears to have changed in the latest ITunes version and I am not sure what the proper procedure is.

    King_Penguin - Thanks it worked perfectly.  I had my pdf files copied into ITunes on my PC but when I clicked on a pdf file to copy it I thought the sidebar would appear with my IPAD name and then I would drag it over.  I didn't realize that I needed to click-and start dragging it towards the left-hand side for the sidebar to appear.  It worked like a charm - THANKYOU!!!

  • Proper way to make bulk changes the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions, ExtensionSettings

    We are going through with an upgrade/migration to SSRS 2012 and moving everything to a different domain. We have about 200 active subscriptions running, the reports are being delivered to a file share.  What is the correct way, in bulk, to change
    the OwnerId, the Path and the FileShare Username password credentials for these subscriptions?  I see these values are being stored in Subscriptions > ExtensionSettings.  I see that the file share path and Owner wouldn't be a problem to change,
    but since I see the file share credentials are encrypted I would not be able change them directly in ExtensionSettings.  Anyone know the proper way to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for my existing subscriptions without having to
    change each one of them manually in the report manager?
    Note: Reporting Services Native upgrade from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2012.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Cygnus46,
    Based on my understanding, you want to change the Owner ID, Path and file share credentials for all existing subscriptions.
    In Reporting Services, the subscription information are stored in the Report Server database. In your scenario, you can go to report server database and run the query to list all the subscriptions, then modify the owner and fileshare paths in the subscriptions
    table. For more information, please refer to this article: Tip: Change the Owner of SQL Reporting Services Subscription. If you want to change
    the file share credentials for subscriptions, you can run the query provided by
    wiperzeus from this similar thread:
    Windows File Share Delivery/ SSRS 2008 R2.
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

  • I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    I have the IPhone, IPad and MacBook, IPad and IPhone share the same Apple ID and Icloud storage. Cannot make ID Change on MacBook as it says the ID is already taken. How can I make all three match?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • Just upgraded my ipad 2 software to iso7 and all my Video name titles have gone? I have 4 films on the ipad and I share about 200 films from my pc, now to watch a film I need to randomly select one to see which film it is before I play it.. This is bad!

    Just upgraded my ipad 2 software to iso7 and all my Video name titles have gone? I have 4 films on the ipad and I share about 200 films from my pc, now to watch a film I need to randomly select one to see which film it is before I play it.. This can’t be right! Help!!

    You cannot go back to an earlier version of iOS.
    If you are having Wi-Fi problems I suggest going to some location that offered free Wi-Fi. Your library or a Starbucks perhaps. Does your iPad connect there and work well?
    If your iPad works well there you can eliminate the iPad and it's iOS as the cause of your problem.
    If your iPad still acts up when connecting to the other Wi-Fi sources I'd suggest a visit to an Apple store to help discover the problem. Be sure to make an appointment prior to going to the Apple store.

  • IPad and Network Shares/Network File Browsing

    I've heard of enabling WebDAV via IIS on a File Server to allow iDevices to connect to a network share within the network, but are there other ways to view file shares within an enterprise network(aside from third party apps, or cloud-based apps such as Dropbox)?

    I think you will need third party stuff.  If you need security and ease of use  go with a Cisco ASA and Anyconnect.  This will give you both internal and external access.

  • An impersonation error occurred using the security context of the current user. -- Report server is on remote server and file share folder is on local server

    I have deployed a report on the server (e.g. remoteserver\reports) from my local machine. I opened the report in browser in my local machine and created a new subscription with windows file share delivery option.
    But its giving an error "Failure writing file \\localserver\subscriptions\Report1.xls : An impersonation error occurred using the security context of the current user." Here "subscriptions"
    is the folder which I have created in my local machine.
    I followed the instructions found in the link "http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms157386.aspx"
    Please help to solve this issue.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I have followed the same process. The credentials which I have given are same as my PC. But I am getting the same error. Can you please clarify the statement "Service
    account that is using for file share subscription should have write access to shared folder."
    given in the above link?
    I am the one who created the folder and subscribing the report, so probably I have the full write permissions to the shared folder. What is the service account in this context?
    I think the problem is, I am deploying the report on the server and creating the shared folder in the local machine. I tried giving shared folder permissions to the user on the server. But my local machine is in local domain and I cant access the users on
    the remote server. Do I need to create a shared folder on the server? I am new to SSRS. Please help me.
    PS: I have assigned with all roles viz. Browser, Content Manager, Publisher, Report Builder etc. and My Role name (WEBSERVER\User)
    is different from my local user name (domain\username) in domain.

  • New to server, need VPN for remote desktop and file share...

    I've set up server and have the VPN working, I think, I need to have several outside systems join the servers VPN permanently to allow for file sharing and remote desktop. I don't want the "normal" internet browsing to go through the VPN (huge slow down) I have read that a "split DNS" or "split tunnel" is what I need, then to disable "send all traffic over VPN connection" option on each remote system. I was a little confused after reading on how to do this on Leopard server (the only instructions I found) but have absolutely no idea on how to do this on Snow Leopard server (the server I set up is 10.6) any assistance would be great, thanks in advance.

    Server Admin, VPN, Settings, Client Information, Network Routing Definition.
    Here add a private network record type that matches your LAN/VPN ip.
    For example
    IP Address: 192.168.0.0
    Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Type: Private
    You can find more informations about this feature in Snow Leopard Server documentation:

  • How do I get separate iCloud accounts for each family members device and still share iTunes?

    how do I get separate iCloud's for each family members iPhone, iPod and iPad and still share iTunes?

    Have everyone share the same iTunes store ID, but use separate IDs for iCloud.  The ID you use for iCloud does not have to be the same as the ID you use for the iTunes & App store.

  • Configuring quorum file share witness access denied

    in failover cluster administrator, when I try to configure the quorum for file share witness, it keeps coming up and say access denied.

    Hi JonDoe321,
    From the error information It must the file share folder don’t meet the permission requirement, For the folder that the file share uses, make sure that the administrator has

  • Parent Disk - File Share - VM Placement

    Hi, I did some testing with Cluster and File Share (with Parent Disk). I figured that the Parent Disk will be placed on the File Share a not on the Cluster Shared Volume.
    I'm now trying to do it with hosts who are not clustered.
    I went to the Fabic in VMM and added a provider (my file share server). I then created a Share on this server using the VMM Wizard.
    I added the File Share to my host in the Properties/Storage and double-checked the Placement Paths.
    In the "Default virtual machine paths to be used during virtual machine placement," I have all my local storage (e:\vms, f:\vms, g:\vms, h:\vms, ...)
    In the "Default parent disk paths to be used for the virtual machines," I have my \\server.domain\share
    When I create a new VM from a Template with "Differencing disk," the Wizard is creating the VM on the \\server.domain\share instead then on a "placement path" from my local storage...
    Furthermore, the parent VHD is being copied on the first "local" drive, E:\vms\...
    1- How to set the path for the Parent disks... I want to force all parent disks to be on the file share.
    2- How can I set so VMM never create VMs on the File Share! Only on the local paths?
    Thanks!
    Tommy

    Hi Tommy,
    FYI, differencing disks are not supported for Production environments, the only possible usage would be for a VDI setup.
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc720381(v=WS.10).aspx
    I believe that you would need to change your "default virtual machine" paths to point towards the file-share
    ps: Is your file server configured as SOFS for application data?

  • Air Drop and File Sharing Between Macs Please HELP

    I have a 2011 Mac Book Pro running Mavericks and a 2010 Mac Pro running mountain lion and I am having trouble air Dropping and file sharing between them.
    My MBP works fine. It can see other macs and share with them on my home network. My MP on the other hand cant see any other computers under the shared devices location in my finder. I have turned on file sharing for my MP as well as screen sharing. Neither works. My Mp used to be able to Air Drop and File share.
    When I try to Air Drop to my MP it wont receive the item.
    Has someone been through this before and know how to fix the issue? Ive been trying to research this for a while and haven't been able to find a solution.
    Any help would be great!
    Thanks

    Are you using a frieWall on individual Macs?

  • Request advice on File Share Sizing

    Hi,

    Thank you in advance

    Hi,
    There is no limitaions related to the maximum size of failover cluster. The existing NTFS limits would also apply to volumes used by failover clusters.

    Hi mafiose15,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Restoring your iPod to factory settings is the best way to try and get it back to working order. You can use the instructions below to restore it:
    How to restore iPod
    Verify that you have an active Internet connection, because you may need to download new versions of the iTunes and iPod Software.
    Download and install the latest version of iTunes if necessary.
    Open iTunes. Connect your iPod to your computer using the USB or FireWire cable that came with your iPod.
    After a few moments, your iPod will appear in the Source panel in iTunes.
    Select your iPod in the Source panel. You will see information about your iPod appear in the Summary tab of the main iTunes window.
    Click Restore.
    If you are using a Mac, you will be asked to enter an administrator’s name and password.
    A progress bar will appear on the computer screen, indicating that stage one of the restore process has begun. When this stage is done, iTunes will present one of two messages with instructions specific to the iPod model you are restoring.
    Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models).
    Leave iPod connected to computer to complete restore (typically applies newer iPod models).
    During stage two of the restore process, the iPod displays an Apple logo as well as a progress bar at the bottom of the display. It is critical that the iPod remain connected to the computer or iPod power adapter during this stage.
    Note: The progress bar may be difficult to see, because the backlight on the iPod display may be off.
    After stage two of the restore process is complete, the iTunes Setup Assistant window will appear. It will ask you to name your iPod and choose your syncing preferences, as it did when you connected your iPod for the first time.
    You can find the instructions in this article:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
