IPad Instability when connected to MacBook

Whenever I connect to my MacBook Pro using O/S 10.6, the iPad goes beserk. Apps open and close randomly, Contacts pages open and turn, the Calendar opens and changes dates chaotically etc. Any insights? I have restored the iPad twice.

Hi,
If you are running v10.6.2 (your profile) click your Apple menu / Software Update...
Restart your Mac after the updates are installed, then restart your iPad. Hopefully that will take care of the instability.
Most recent Snow Leopard version is v10.6.4

The most likely issue: Have you plugged your iPad into a USB port that is not directly part of your MacBook Pro?

2nd iPod Classic locking up when connecting to MacBook Pro

I'll sum up the lead-in story as best I can.
I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13". Just got an new iPod Classic a couple weeks back. I discovered that when playing the iQuiz game, I had a few lock-ups (freezing). Then a handful of times, it locked up when connecting it to the MacBook for charging or syncing. It didn't lock up EVERY time. But about 1 out of every 4 syncs on average.
I naturally thought something was wrong with the Classic, and brought it into the Apple store when it was locked up, and they gave me a new one.
But now this one is doing the same thing. Occasional lock-ups when connecting to the MacBook Pro. Doesn't matter which USB port. And doesn't seem to matter if the computer has been on, or if it's a fresh boot.
What could be going on here? I doubt highly that both Classics I've gotten have the same exact issue with occasional lock-ups when connected to the computer. My MBP otherwise has given me no problems. And no problems with other USB devices, ever.
Any ideas?

Update: bought a new usb sync cable to try, and no change. the Classic locked up the first try with the new cable.

My external monitor flickers intermittently and wont function when connected to macbook pro

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a cable to convert the thunderbolt/miniport to the VGA input on an external monitor I have had laying around for a few years. I am currently running osx 10.7.5 on a macbook pro.
When I plugged the cable to connect my macbook to the monitor, the monitor certainly recognized the cable, but the display would not do more than flicker in and out intermittently when connected to my macbook.
I have searched the forums for a solution to this, but haven't been able to find one that works. I tried resetting the SMC and restarting while holding cmd+P+R but none of these "fixes" seemed to help.

Simplest thing to try is a PRAM reset.
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

How do I get a full screen pre-view on my ipad air when connecting my samsung NX 300 camera

When connecting my samsung nx300 camera via wifi to my ipad air using samsung smart camera app I can only get a small pre-view window on the corner of the screen (80x40) The camera as been back to samsung and they have confirmed that it is working ok.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Doesn't solve your wifi connection problem, but you can use Apple's camera connection kit to transfer pics/videos from your camera. You can connect the camera to the iPad using a USB cable or use the camera's SD card.

Camera does not show up when connected to Macbook Air

I'm connecting my Sony NEX-F3 to my new Macbook Air for the first time.
When connected via USB the screen on the camera says to 'Check the connected device'. On my old Macbook the camera would autmotically appear on my desktop however this one is not responding at all. I have checked Disk Utility & Finder to see if it has appeared there instead but no luck, any advice?

This is a new computer? Why not take it to an Apple store and have the techs there work on it. I would take the camera and hard drive along so they see exactly what you see.
The service is free. But make an appointment:

Why does 2nd gen iPad flash when connected to charger?

2nd gen ipad will not charge - instead flashes when connected to charger

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds. When you see the silver apple, let go and let it reboot and try again
You can also try a different charger,cable and outlet and see if they are hte issue.
Are you trying to charge via USB or plugged into the wall? If via USB, try charging with the included power block plugged into the wall

IPad issue when connecting to external server on 8.81 PL03

This thread is split off from "Extenally connection for the i-phone or i-pad. "
The issue is that the iPad fails to connect to an external server, while it did so successfully to a server on an ad hoc network setup.
In Integration Framework page -> Monitoring -> Authent. Monitor I only see feedback on the sap.Xcelsius scenario - again it says the info is from 8080 (while B1mobile is on port 8443, since Enforce Secure Transport = True for sap.B1Mobile?)
The attemps by the iPad to login only shows in the B1authcheck log. I have confirmed the time stamps.
I compared this unsuccessful log entry to my successful ad hoc network's log entry and it seems to break here:

I have tried connecting both via 3G and with the iPad connected to local Wifi.
SAP is 8.81 PL3 with the B1iC that ships with the patch. The iPad is running the 1.1.1 app. Secure Transport is enforced (i.e. SSL is ON and port 8443 is in use)
Any insight will be appreciated!

Hi Frank,
The SQL password was in the format Xxxxxx! - with '!' being the offending character.
As a consequence of changing the password, I had to reinstall B1iC (I could not figure out how to get it to use the new password otherwise). Given that I reinstalled B1iC a few times in the preceding 20 hours' process of elimination, I don't think the reinstallation itself triggered sap.B1mobile into suddenly working.
Which leaves me to conclude that it was the '!' in the SQL sa password.
I am glad to hear that it supports special characters (elsewhere) now
I'd like to suggest to anybody having problems to install it in as simple an environment as possible, and to add layers of complexity (firewalls, special characters, etc.) only after you get it working. There is little documentation for this process, which makes it challenging to troubleshoot from the top down.

My macbook pro doesn't show iPad air when connected by usb. It did before. iPad is brand new software up to date with genuine new usb cable.

I upgraded few weeks ago to Mavericks from snow leopard. Since then , Ipad is often not recognized from macbookpro. When it is I cannot transfert gpx files from macbook pro to ipad through itunes like I could do it with snow leopard. So I cannot transfert any files to be read by navigation app on my ipad. I often have no internet conections so I need to specifically download through usb and itunes. Thanks for any hints.

Since iOS7 update my iPad slows when connected to projector via VGA cable

I use my iPad in class as a teaching resource every day. It's invaluable. However, since I updated it to iOS7, whenever I use my lightning-to-VGA adapter cable to connect my iPad to my projector it a) slows down the iPad to a crawl, and b) shows a black screen on the projector. I must stress, it's an original Apple cable that I paid a lot of money for, so I'm not particularly happy about this development.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be and if there's anything I can do to rectify it?
Thanks in advance!

I am not using keynote. I am just using the VGA to mirror the iPad... or at least, that it what I have done until now. Maybe the odd SlideShark presentation, or a YouTube video, or maybe to display text on a PDF in Dropbox or iBooks on the WB so all the students can read it together or maybe complete a quiz online using Chrome, Safari or Puffin browsers. Now it doesn't even mirror, and the iPad just slows completely. When I unplug the lightning-to-VGA cable it speeds back up again.
All apps are up to date as far as I am aware. I will be testing it again tomorrow - since the latest update to iOS 7.0.3, as the projector's in my class and I'm currently at home, and will post if there's any difference. I'll also see if a reboot helped, as my iPad's been rebooted over the weekend after the update.

Items purchased on my iPad lost when synced to MacBook Pro

I purchased music and TV shows on my iPad which downloaded fine. When I synced my iPad to my MacBook Pro they have all disappeared. I did nothing different to what I normally do when syncing and am really annoyed. I 'reported a problem' via my order in the iTunes store on the 8 things that have disappeared, several of them being albums which means I am missing a lot of what I have paid for through no fault of my own. iTunes support have responded to 2 of the 'reported problems' one was relisted in my downloads and the TV series has apparently been refunded, have to wait 5 days for that to show. The rest I have heard nothing on. Has anybody had this problem and if so how did you resolve it? How can I contact the iTunes store to chase this up and get an answer??
All help gratefully received.

You are not alone! This happened to me this evening. I had purchased an album on my iPad and went to back up this purchase on my computer. After the sync I went back to my iPad to play off the album and all but three songs were missing! The horror continued when they were not on my computer either. How am I supposed to be held accountable to "back up my music" if my music is lost in the process?! I hope someone has some ideas for us.

IPad slow when connected to Apple TV

My iPad starts to opperate really slowly whenever it is connected to the Apple TV. when it is not connected to airplay it runs fine but as soon as air play is turned on it starts running really slowly.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
Have you tried to update Apple TV yet? (5.1)

Some users reported that they needed to reset all settings on Apple TV after the 5.1 update.

Apple USB Keyboard not working when connected in Macbook PRO retina

I have this problem. When I connect my new Apple usb keyboard directly to the laptop it does work. Is there any way to solve this problem?
BR

I just did the latest update and my Apple USB keyboard stopped working. The keyboard works fine with other computers and other keyboards work with my Macbook.
The keyboard ships with a three foot extension cable. I plugged the keyboard into the Macbook with this cable and now it's working fine. I think it has something to do with the USB port being 3.0. A USB hub may also solve the issue.
