IPad vs Sony

I own a Sony ereader and I'm trying to decide if an iPad is "justified." I do editing on my ereader by loading my Word files or rtf files to it and can make notes and highlighting etc.
Is it possible to load personal documents onto the iPad?

I'm glad to hear that. I still own a PRS500 and PRS505 and I like how the e-ink screen doesn't wash out in bright sunlight. Having said that, I also love how the iPad is so versatile and can function as an ebook reader as well.
Since the Sony readers are a little more rugged, I plan on using them outdoors/on-the-go, while the iPad will be serving its duties strictly indoors, at home. So I'm in the process of converting entire library to ePub and getting my free Sony firmware update on the PRS500 to handle ePub data.

    Using Apple TV device is best because you are not limited by cable connection or length.

  • Can I connect iPad to Sony tv to view I player

    Does anyone know what I need to connect iPad 2 to Sony Bravia t. So I can watch I player.  Same question for MacBook pro 2011.
    THank you.

    Sure you can! Get Apple's HDMI adapter and (if you still don't have one) an HDMI cable and hook up the iPad to the TV.
    I'm not sure the iPlayer directly supports TV out (at least it does support AirPlay). If it doesn't (which I doubt), you can still use the standard screen mirroring feature of the iPad 2.

  • Ipad and Sony HBH-DS205 bluetooth(A2DP enabled) headset pairing problem

    Hi,
    I have brought a HBH-DS205 headset. The bluetooth headset pairs with my X10i and I can listen to both the calls as well as the music played on the phone with these devices.
    But, when I try to paid with my iPad, the iPad goes on searching for the devices and never lists the bluetooth headset. I tried removing the pair between the X10i and the headsets and then scan but is no use. Restarted the iPad as well as the headset but no use again. The iPad never shows the headset in the discovered devices list. Any one used this headset and paired successfully with iPad?

    Read through the following KB article to determine if the Sony's specs are supported on iPad and, if so, how to discover and pair:

  • Need to authorize the PC if I only read books in iPads and Sony reader?

    I never read books in the PC.  I only use it to download purchases and transfer them to the devices. Do I still need to authorize the PC (consuming one authorization slot of the 6 available)?
    Thanks for your help!
    Luis

    iPad and iPhones don't get authorised/deauthorised, only computers are. You mention deauthorising devices - do you mean that you've been into the 'manage devices' part of your account and removed them ? The 'manage devices' section is different to authorised computers : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    IHave you had other computers in the past and/or updated the OS on computers without deauthorising them ? Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but as you have more than 2 computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need - see that page that you posted from for more info.

  • Photos do not appear on icloud

    I have my photo stream set to sync to iCloud on my iPhone, but when I log into iCloud on my browser (chrome) there's no icon for photos. I'm using a PC. I see Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Finf my iPhone, and iWork. No photos. Thoughts?

    I've done all of the above and no luck. "ICloud Photo Library" and "Upload to My Photo Stream" both have their sliders set to the right, they are showing green and they are turened on.
    If I download to my IPad using Sony's Play Memories software the pictures do appear in my ICloud photo library. However, when Aperture uploads photos from an album to photo stream they do appear in photo stream on Aperture, but not in the ICloud Photo Library on my IOS 8.1 devices..

  • How do I print wirelessly from my IPAD2 to my HP C7250 Photosmart

    I have connected my Sony vaio wirelessly to the HP C7250. My Ipad and Sony are both connected wirelessly to the internet through my LinkSys router. This printer is not on list of Eprint supported devices so that app will not work. When I try to print from my IPad to the printer, error message no printer found. Any solutions to allow printer without sending the document to my Sony computer and printing from it?

    Hi,
    As the printer is NOT an AirPrint (not ePrint) enabled printer, the only thing you can do: print indirectly or with a bit of luck, HP may release firmware update/upgrade for it at a later date (very costly to support old products rather than develope new products on the market today).
    Regards.

  • Wireless network issues w Airport Express and Belkins Powerline HD

    Hi,
    I have a new Airport Extreme and the wireless network generally works great with my iPad and Sony Vaio, but there are wireless deadspots in my house when using my MacBook, and the wifi signal will die out often for it in those spots. I'm guessing it's because my MacBook is old with only a a/b/g wireless capabilities. I tried extending my network using Airport Express in the deadspots, but it did nothing to strengthen the signal (i.e., since it ended up extending the weak signal).
    So, I bought a Belkin's Powerline HD (gigabit), connected one Powerline receiver to the Airport Extreme using ethernet and plugged it into the wall outlet. I plugged in the other Powerline receiver into the wall outlet in the separate room with the deadspot, and I connected my the Airport Express to it directly using ethernet and am having no luck getting the Airport Express create/extend my current wifi network (i tried creating a new network too, but no luck). I know the Powerline does work because when I connect my MacBook to it using ethernet (i.e, not using Airport Express), I have no problems connecting to the internet. But I would really like to create/extend a wireless network in the deadspots of the house for my MacBook so I don't have to use the ethernet cable.
    In the Airport Utilities, I set up the Airport Express to connect to Airport Extreme using ethernet and extend the current wireless network (also tried creating a new network). I got as far as getting a successful set-up confirmation and a green light on the Express base unit and can get full bars on the MacBook. But when I try to connect to the internet, I get an error message saying that there is no internet connection. (Same error when I created a new wireless network.) The diagnostic says there is no ISP signal/connection, which leads me to believe that the Express is not connecting to the internet through Airport Extreme. What am I missing? Thanks in advance!

    HI,  I don't know very much about Airport Express or indeed Apple products in general.  However, I do use Belkin 200mbps powerline adapters.
    I have used these adapters in two separate ways.  1) device to router; 2) additional wireless access point to router
    In the first situation they work perfectly fine and the connection is fast and reliable for anything I care to throw at it (file transfers, audio / video streaming, internet browsing).  However, in the second situation the connection drops intermittently.  I will have access to the main router via the access point over powerline for all devices, then suddenly this will just stop.  To restart it I have to remove the powerline from the mains, wait about ten seconds, plug back in, let it boot up and reconnect and I'm connected again.
    Having read more (sorry I don't have the links to hand), it appears that powerline adapters can handle one-to-one traffic fine, but when bridging a wireless access point where several wireless clients are transmitting / receiving, they 'lock up' and just stop.  Even when connected in this configuration, streams tend to stutter and my squeezebox devices get totally out of synch.
    Given I know very little about Airport Express (i conceded as much at the top of this post), is it fair to assume that a belkin powerline connected to the 'Express' would closer match with scenario 2 in my above description?  If so, I'm afraid I don't believe Belkin Powerline will be a suitable solution for you.  Hope my experience saves you the days of head-scratching I went through before removing powerline devices (incidentally, I bought a wireless repeater to solve my problem in the end, and put the powerline adapters to good use by connecting my media player (under the TV) to the main router directly).

  • How do I wirelessly connect my iPad 4 to a Sony Bravia TV?

    My Sony Bravia KDL-32W653A recognises that my iPad4 is on my LAN. But I just can't get the iPad content ( videos ) to show up on the TV screen.
    The iPad Settings shows the " direct -GC-Bravia" other connection, but it wants to revert to my (John Lewis wireless connection.
    If I tap on the other, Bravia panel I am asked for a password. I don't have a password for it and never have had. If I try to use my Apple password or that of my Sony support log-in or even my LAN home group , the iPad just messages:-  "Unable to connect to Diect-GC-Bravia"
    I seem to go round in circles and get nowhere- Can anyone out there who has an iPad 4 (retina display AND a Sony Bravia TV help me please?
    Maybe even a Sony employee? who owns a similar iPad?
    Davidthebass.

    You dont.  Apple won't allow widely used standards and Sony is so behind the times in this area it's painful and almost as bad.  Apple forces you to buy an Apple TV whereas Sony forces you to own an android phone to do this natively.  Surprise!
    disappointed I started my smartphone tenure with Apple; had no idea how badly it was going to burn me in about 100 different ways over the years.  All they have on android these days is more efficient hardware...: and since they don't take advantage of it... It's a moot point at the price premium.
    as for Sony.  I just spent more than I did on my last car for their flagship and id be satisfied if it costed about 75% less and wasn't a "smart" TV.  Since it is - and this is 2015; the cost coupled with the inability to properly stream or mirror from.... Meh.  Not gonna waste another word.  If neither get it by now, they never will.  Talk with your wallet guys, it's the only language they understand.  Unfortunately they are wise enough to know the sheep outnumber dramatically so it's in vain anyhow. 

  • How do i download my itunes to my new sony vaio. My original laptop no longer works so am unable to switch it on which is where my original itunes account was setup. i have downloaded my itunes to my iphone and ipad with no problem

    Why wont me itunes downlaod to my new sony vaio?
    i follow all of the steps and have managed to get my itunes onto my ipad  and iphone but for some reason nothing appears on the vaio. My original laptop is broken and will no longer switch on which is where my account was originally set up. I dont really understand icloud. i thought everything was stored there so dont understand why this is happening Can anyone help please?

    What exactly is the problem that you are having ? Is it with downloading the iTunes program itself, or redownloading your purchases ?
    If iTunes itself then you can download it from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If it doesn't download then have you tried a different browser, and/or tried changing the settings on the browser that you are using e.g. turn off 'pop-up blocker' ?
    If you've installed iTunes and want to download your past purchases, then what you can redownload depends upon what country that you are in, and whether the items are still in your country's store. What you can redownload will show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage :
    But ideally you'd have your own backup copy of all your downloads/library (and not relying on redownloading), a song/album etc could be removed from the store at any time.
    If you will be syncing your iPad and iPhone to that computer then you may also find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • I'm trying to connect a Sony wireless keyboard and can't figure out how to get the iPad 2 to discover it.  Has anyone had any luck using a non-Apple wireless keyboard and mouse?

    Apple tech so far hasn't helped except to advise me to get manuals online that Sony doesn't post on its website.  I've sent off an inquiry to Sony but don't expect an answer.  Apple assumes my devices are bluetooth but the iPad2 hasn't figured out how to discover them, and I don't know how to make them discoverable.  I'd like to have the option to use them but so far haven't been able to figure out how.

    Heidi-
    On the iPad, go to Settings-General-Bluetooth.  Set Bluetooth to ON and a new window appears while the iPad searches for Bluetooth devices.
    To get the keyboard into a discoverable mode, you may need to remove its batteries for a while.  If it is not possible to get it to appear on the iPad, could the keyboard be defective?  Can it be discovered by other computers?
