IPad display on Mac Desktop?

Hi
Has anyone figured out a way to display the iPad display on the Mac?
I'm looking to capture some screencasts of an iPad App
I've seen ways but they involve Jailbreaking which I've no desire to do (yet)
Thanks

There is no way to mirror all content from an iPad onto a computer - there are apps that will let you share that app across other displays (mysyncpad.com), but they can't capture anything else.
If all you need is still screenshots, you can capture an iPad screenshot as a still image and use that.

IPad display in Mac os window

I want to connect my iPad to my Mac so that the iPad screen is displayed in a window on my Mac desktop. I do web x presentations that demonstrate the interactivity of iPad software and Mac software. TIA

This is in reply to you query about screen capture. I do not know how to contact you other than by jumping into this session.
I do not know if you have had any success in remapping the function keys. (Jan 2011)
I'd been some 5 or 6 days trying to remap F13 before I read your "Remapping the function keys" query. Like you I found the screen capture an awkward chord to play on the keyboard.
I tried modifying the symbolichotkeys plist & the universalaccess plist files but to no avail.
I did install Quickeys and got this to work for F13 but there's this overhead of the program running in background plus the fact it was only a 30 day demo.
Then by chance I was reading about 'sticky keys'
- Preferences - Universal Access - Keyboard - Sticky Keys - On or Off
I set it to On.
Now when you want to do a screen capture you can press in a sequence of
1,2 & then 3
1.          Command Shift
2.          4
3.          spacebar
No more awkward left handed finger chords.
Hope this helps

One ipad syncing to two separate mac desktop PCs

Can i successfully sync an ipad to one mac desktop pc for say just moving photos and videos?
and then sync the same ipad to another pc where my iphone is synced so I can get all my iphone apps onto my soon to be purchased ipad and continue to sync to that second pc for backup purposes of all my apps?

From the way I read the information, you can manage music manually and sync to different computers. if you had an iPod Touch or an iPhone backed up to another computer with contacts, bookmarks, etc. I think that you can restore your iPad from one of those back ups to get that information onto your iPad and then manage your media manually to get that stuff back onto your iPad as well. *I have no experience with this*, but from what I've read, it is possible.
Here is an excerpt from the first article under Additional Information at the bottom.
*Issues may occur leading to data corruption or data loss if you regularly sync contacts, calendars, notes, or bookmarks between multiple computers using iTunes and your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Syncing once to move your data to a new computer should not cause these issues. See this article for more information.*
If the article states that "if you regularly sync contacts, calendars" .... etc., the inference is that it is be possible to do so.
Syncing to multiple computers as a practice - other than to sync music - is probably not a good practice. Doing it once or twice may be feasible. Without having done any of this myself, I don't see why you couldn't come up with a workaround - BUT - content would have to managed manually. However, I could be wrong!

HT5887 Can I use Airdrop between my iPad Mini and my Mac desktop? If so how?

I am trying to use Airdrop to share files between my iPad and my Mac desktop. I can back up my iPad to the pc over the wireless network but I cannot get Airdrop to work.
Any suggestions appreciated.

No, you can only AirDrop between iDevice only (tap to enlarge image)

Anyone have experience moving files from an iPad to a Mac?

Dear Folks,
I need a way to transfer files from my iPad to my Mac, to deal with the content (music and videos right now, but probably other types of files in the future) that iTunes doesn't back up. I've come across two programs that supposedly will let me mount an iPad on the Mac desktop and/or allow me to transfer files from it to my Mac. Deggie and dwb also know of several and have kindly mentioned them. So, I'm considering:
IMToo Podworks for Mac (http://www.imtoopodworks.com/pod-works-mac.html)
Air Sharing HD (http://avatron.com/apps/air-sharing-hd/)
Senuti (http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/)
Yamipod (http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/home/)
iRip (http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/)
Does anyone reading this have an opinion on (or experience with) how well any of these work?
Free vs fee isn't an issue for me, how well it functions is.
Thanks!

I can tell you with certainty that for documents of any kind "GoodReader" is an excellent app. It will let you connect to your mac via wi-fi. It mounts it as an external drive and you can create folders and drag files to the folders.
I haven't tried dragging any movies or music but there wouldn't be anything to stop you from doing so. There is also a file management component to the app that lets you choose an "Open with ... " type of dialog and open a file with pages if it is a .doc file, or GoodReader can open pdf, doc, xls and many other doc types.
Very happy with this .99 cent app. I agree with the other question though. If I rip a dvd, I use handbrake to convert to mp4 and add to my iTunes - then sync as per normal.

I want to buy a iPad2 to go along with my mac desktop and iPhone, do I have to purchase the same apps. to put on my iPad

i want to buy a iPad2 to go along with my mac desktop and iPhone, do I have to repurchase the same apps. to put on my iPad?

You can use most of the apps that you bought for your iPhone on the iPad as well. Sometimes the apps are not optimized for the iPad's larger display. Sometimes the apps are limited to the iPhone and you must purchase a separate iPad version. As with your iPhone, Mac apps cannot be used on an iOS device.

Investigate the Air Display App to see if it will do the job for you.

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help!

I have connected my new Macbook Air to my existing Samsung large external monitor with a VGA adaptor but I can't get the full mac desktop to display. No icons but then websites are coming up. Help! Further info: I am a complete newbie to Mac. Had three macs prior to 2000 then four PCs. Just come back and struggling a bit with the unfamiliarity. On my old PC laptop I could simply switch from the laptop screen to the large external monitor (and back) with the F4 function key. While I can get the background image from my MBA to display, that's it. Until I noticed on the far left of the external monitor, the very edge of one of the web pages I was on. So Idragged it over to display in the centre. But that's all that's there. And now I have gone out of those web pages but they are still displaying on the monitor. There is some wierd disconnect. I'm sure it is just a setting thing. Will keep searching for answer but any advice welcome!

Your dsplay is getting extended onto the external monitor. Chcnage the setting to duplicate it or only display on the external monitor and you should be fine,
Let me know if this worked for you.

Using HD plasma as external display, black border around mac desktop

Hey all, I'm having some difficulty setting up my Panasonic plasma tv as an external display for my Macbook. Whenever I hook up the display I am faced with thick black borders around the mac desktop on the external display. I have messed with the resolution setting for probably 2 hours with no success and the borders persist. I have it hooked up via an hdmi to dvi cable connected to a mini dvi cable. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can get it to display full screen on my plasma display without the borders? The displays native resolution is 1024x768, I believe. Any help would be appreciated!

The problem isn't with your mac, it's the settings on the Plasma.
Make sure you are outputting the correct resolution (1024x768 you said), although are you sure the display doesn't want 1366 x 768? That's what mine wants through it's DVI board.
Once that's set, if you have boarder alignment problems then you need to adjust the overscan settings for that input.
If you have a commercial version of the Panasonic it's easy, just use the Picture Pos/Size button on the remote to get to the menu to adjust it. If you have a consumer version Plasma, then ?.. It might be buried in the service menu? I don't know, but once you figure that out you can adjust it. Do a search in avsforum.com for your model number + overscan and you'll find the info you need.

Custom html file with pix and links as Mac desktop display?

Hi, in Windows it is possible to select an html file to use as your desktop display...pictures, web links, and links to network and local folders, files, and applications can be written directly into the html page. It was actually really nice.
How can this be done on a Mac?
It would be great to have personal pictures, text (poems and to do lists) displayed as the desktop background...with links to files (inspirational .mov files, recently used files, even the html file for the desktop itself for quick changes), links to start applications, and links to favorite websites...all accessible from the desktop itself.
Alternatively, would these links need to be placed in the dashboard or expose or ? Would the text over a background image in html need to be composited into a static image file?
thanks

I don't believe there is a way in the Mac world to specify anything but image files to be used as your desktop.
I might suggest that you open the HTML fileof your choice in a browser, and take a screen shot of the output. Then you can assign that screen shot to be your desktop.
Command-shift-4 will give you a crosshair cursor to drag around the area you wish to capture.

Can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop

can I store photos from ipad while travelling for later download to my mac desktop

If you mean by using photo stream, you can but iCloud only keeps photo stream photos for 30 days. You will need to download them to your Mac during this 30 day window or they will no longer be available.
Or, just leave the photos in the camera roll on your iPad until you return, then import them to iPHoto on your Mac as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Keep Mac desktop on primary display (LCD) and Present on External?

Here's the question. Is there a way to keep my mac desktop on my primary display (the lcd on my MBP) while presenting to a projector? When I move the presentation to the external monitor and start the slide show, my LCD goes black. I know this is the "Presenter's Display." Is there a way to just have my mac desktop there instead? I'm using the newest version of Keynote.
Thanks,
Shawn

<<Is there a way to keep my mac desktop on my primary display ... while presenting to a projector?>>
If you mean your regular Mac desktop (and not the Keynote Presenter's Display) then the answer is no. While you are running Keynote, the two display options are as follows:
1) in the Keynote Preferences/Slideshow menu you can assign the presentation to either your Primary display (the screen of your MBP) or a Secondary display (the projector or other monitor).
2) In the Keynote Preferences / Presenter Display menu, there is a checkbox where you can assign the Presenter Information to the "alternate display" - i.e. the one that is NOT showing the presentation itself. If you do not check this box, the "alternate display" will be black, as you have discovered.
These are, at present, the only display options offered by Keynote.
If you would like to suggest a feature modification to Apple, you can do so at the Keynote Feedback forum: http://www.apple.com./feedback/keynote.html
I'm puzzled why you do not want to see the Presenter Information on your MBP while presenting on the projector. On my system I have checked ALL of the options for the Presenter Display so that when I give a presentation, I can know exactly what is coming-up next and when. In this way, I use the presentation itself as my "cue" sheet, rather than working from notes.
Good luck.

Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?

Just bought a mac desktop and how do sync my apps to it from iPad?

You connect the iPad to the computer and use the Transfer Purchases function in iTunes to put them on the Mac's internal drive. They can't actually be run on a Mac.

Could be contacts/favorites/history/notes/etc.
It is normal for there to be 200 - 800 gb in other.

My iPad and Mac desktop are no longer syncing calendars

My iPad and Mac desktop have quit syncing calendars. I use Microsoft Office 2011 which I sync to iCal as well. I am having no trouble between Office and iCal...but no recent events are showing up in the iPad calendar. I have tried everything I know....My computer iCloud setting say that my calendars are being synced through iCloud but that is not happening. Everything else that needs to sync is happening. What can I do?
Joe

What about the opposite way:
Create a test contact on iCloud, wait a few minutes, do you see it on the Mac?
In Mac's Contacts > Preferences... > Accounts > Is the iCloud account enabled?
