IPad with an external videocam?

why is it not possible to make videos with ipad with an external videocam (using ipad as an online-monitor)?????? or ist it????

Hi there. I think I am in a similar position; but let me add a little more info. Here is what I want: to buy and use an iPad (probably 32Gb model).
Here is the tale-of-the-tape on my Mac:
Machine Name: Power Mac G4
Machine Model: PowerMac3,6
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (3.3)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 1.25 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 1 MB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 167 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.4.8f2
I am running on Mac OSX 10.4.11. And enjoying iTunes 9.2.1
I have an iPhone 16Gb (Spring 2008 model, before 3G) that plays fine with my G4 with no probs.
Question: How much hardware change (RAM upgrades?,etc) will it take for me to install Mac OSX 5.8 to run the iPad? I can afford some money for the OS upgrade and some money for memory upgrades in addition to the price of the iPad. If I have to buy a new Mac to get/use an iPad, that will be a deal killer at this time - just gotta know. Thanks in advance!

All the info you do with your image files is stored in the Lightroom Catalog file. The Catalog file cannot be located on a network it must have a physical connection to the computer.
While the Catalog is in use a LOCK file will be temporarily placed alongside which prevents its use by any other device.

My hard drive that is sync to my ipad crashed! Good thing is all my photos were transferred to my ipad for viewing - now my quesiton is how do I back up my ipad on another computer without losing my pictures? can I back up my ipad on a external hard drive

My hard drive on my computer crashed! This is the computer my ipad was sync with! All my photos of my three girls are on the ipad, but how do I get them transferred to either an external hard drive or to another computer - or just have them all printed - nearly 1000 photos!
Also, can I back up my ipad with an external hard drive? If I try to sync to a new computer it will erase everything I currently have on the ipad , correct?
Thanks for your help - I am worried if I don't do something quick, my ipad will crash too!

Right. You didn't read the post, you only read the title.
The title came from an earlier step in the process when I was posing a question to the systen.
The pertinent part of the question is "How to I back up documents that are stored in iCloud"
That the destination for the backup is NOT my internal HDD should be clear from the rest of the post.
And frankly, even if that is where I want to back up to, that would at least give me two copies, at least giving me one duplicate of the stuff on iCloud.
So please stop wasting my time if you can't answer the actual question: How do I backup content that is stored in iCloud. The destination of the backup is irrelevant.

I charged my ipad with a defective charger, it heated up and stopped working. i charged for a good 4 hours without knowing the charger was defected (distortion of internal wires and a broken protective external layer)

You're not asking any question so I'll just ramble.
You may have permanently damaged your iPad. The iPad controls the current coming from the charger but the charger electronics must be capable of responding to the iPad. Charge with a known good charger and then test your iPad. If it's OK, you lucked out. Otherwise... If the charger was not an Apple charger, you're completely out of luck. If it was an Apple charger, call Apple and discuss the issue with them.

How can i Transfer Photos from iPad to an external hdd or USB drive?

Hey everyone,
Do you Know how to Transfer Files and especially Photos from the iPad to an external hdd or USB drive? I ll Be travelling for a Long Time and Wont take my MacBook with me, only the iPad, the Camera and an external hdd to Save Photos and Videos from the Camera. Thanks.
Best Wishes,

You can't - external drives and flash drives can't be connected to the iPad for copying photos (or anything else) off the iPad. You can use some photo upload sites to store them on web accounts or cloud services, but for a large number of photographs you'll be better off with a laptop and external drives for backup.

Is there a way to back Up your Ipad to an external hard drive (Windows XP PC)

Is there a way to change the directory where a backup is stored? I don't have enough room on my Windows XP laptop and want to backup my iPad to an external hard drive.

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.

An alternate, you could get an external HD (or large capacity SD cards) for your PC & transfer sufficient GBs from your PC to free up space.

Is there a way to use an iPad as an external micrpohone for my imac?

The internal mic on my iMac is dead (and I don't feel like paying a lot for opening in up and stuff), but external should work (I have tested with input from an iPod). So can I get around the problem by some how using my iPad as an external mic? I have found no way of doing this so far.

not as far as I know
at least not out of the box if some thirdparty app can let you I can't say for sure

Using iTunes Match with an external hard drive

Hello.
Over the years, my iTunes library has got rather large. Now, I'm about to buy a new MacBook Pro with a smaller SSD than my current hard drive, so in order to make best use of the space, I'm going to move my iTunes library to an external drive.
The plan is to have this drive connected to my home braodband router, and available wirelssly on ymhome network. That means whenever I'm at home, my library will be available to me, and I can sync whatever I like to my iOS devices etc.
When I'm on the move, I'd like to have access to my music, so I have subscribed to iTunes Match which is working well. My iPhone and iPad stream my music no problem.
My question is about how this will work on my new computer. The ideal situation for me would be that when I am at home with my external drive accessible via my home network, that I can play my media content locally within iTunes. When the drive is not connected (because it is off, or I am away from home) will the computer realise the music library is unavailable, and allow me to stream via iTunes Match?
Will this setup confuse the use of iTunes Match on my computer when I'm away from home?
Any advice on how to best set this up would be appreciated!

Hi,
You will need two itunes libraries, one giving you access to your external drive and the other to allow you to stream your music.
When you get your new Macbook you can create an new blank library which will let you access your music in the cloud - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589.
You would use same procedure to reconnect to your main liabrary on the external drive.

No, the WiFi model does not have a GPS.

HT202213 how to sync an ipad with two libraries

How do I share my itunes library between 2 devices? Dragging the music over to the device isn't doing the trick...

Not quite sure this is what you are after, if not you'll need to explain further.
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.
When working with an iPhone earlier builds of iTunes would remove any file not physically present in the local library, even if there was an entry for it, making manual management practically redundant on the iPhone. This behaviour has been changed but it will still only permit manual management with a library that has the correct internal ID. If you don't want to sync your library between machines on a regular basis just copy the iTunes Library.itl file from the current "home" machine to any other you want to use, then clean out the library entires and import the local content you have on that box.

JRE with an external proxy

I'm hoping there is someone who can give some information on using JRE (with IE plugin) with an external proxy server.
We use a web proxy service that is hosted externally and only receives web requests on port 8080. Our IE browser is configured with a PAC (automatic configuration script) file that lists two external addressses and one internal proxy address all on port 8080.
I am trying to access an externally hosted web site (with lots of Java applets) from our corporate network and this fails when using an external proxy service.
Using JRE 1.4.2 we did a network trace and can see a request going to the external proxy on port 8080 but whatever the response is or what the JRE receives back, it doesn't like it and tries the next proxy address in the list and fails to connect.
In the JRE console, I see the following text when the connection fails (real addresses replaced)
Ping the proxy server <external proxy IP #1> on port 8,080
Proxy server <external proxy IP #1> on port 8,080 can not be reached
Ping the proxy server <external proxy IP #2> on port 8,080
Proxy server <external proxy IP #2> on port 8,080 can not be reached
Ping the proxy server <internal proxy IP > on port -1
Proxy server <internal proxy IP > on port -1 can not be reached
Does anyone know what the 'Ping the proxy server' is trying to do to detect the external proxy server? Whatever it is, it doesn't like the external ones and only works with the internal one. I'm assuming this is not a simple ICMP ping as the network trace shows a TCP request on port 8080 going to the external proxy and nothing coming back. I would like to know if it could be something the external proxy is blocking (so I could ask the supplier to change). I've looked at a good trace just using the internal proxy but can't see what type of response JRE accepts.
Later versions of JRE have the same issue except they resolve the last proxy (the internal one) correctly and still won't use the external proxies.
If there is anyone who can advise me on this or point me in the direction of some documention I would be very grateful.

Yes, add them to iTunes. The fact that they are on an external doesn't stop them from being in iTunes.
If necessary, create a separate library which you just use when you have the external connected.
Alternatively, if you have an iPhone or iPad you could check out an App like Air Video, which displays video that isn't in iTunes on your device. I think you can then use Airplay to get it onto your ATV.
