Is ios 5 "wifi direct" compatible?

I'm trying to use "wifi direct" (supposedly a universal connection standard) to connect my iphone 4 ios 5 to sony bravia TV . After connection it shows up on the tv as an unsupported device. Is this correct or have I done something wrong?

From a Wiki on the subject:
Soft AP's can be as simple or as complex as the role requires. A digital picture frame might provide only the most basic services needed to allow digital cameras to connect and upload images. A smart phone that allows data tethering might run a more complex soft AP that adds the ability to bridge to the Internet. The standard also includes WPA2 security and features to control access within corporate networks.[3]Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices can connect one-to-one or one-to-many and not all connected products need to be Wi-Fi Direct-certified. One Wi-Fi Direct enabled device can connect to legacy Wi-Fi certified devices.
That's why I was asking. Not because I was too stupid to read a list. As anyone who has used computers for any length of time knows, just because something isn't "certified" doesn't necessarily mean it isn't compatible.
Thank you for all of your prompt answers. Just wondering, Are you this condescending to everyone or just me in particular?

Wifi-Direct in Adobe Air??

Hi ,
I have recently emarked on building a multiplayer game for my third year degree project.
I have built some little air apps already but thought it would be cool to try out some mutliplayer aspect.
I was wondering if:
a) Air supports multiplayer [local p2p/adhoc]
b) if Air supports wi-fi direct.
Wifi direct == "Wi-Fi Direct device connections can happen anywhere, anytime - even when you don't have access to a Wi-Fi network. Your Wi-Fi Direct device will signal to other devices in the area that it can make a connection. You can view available devices and ask them to connect, or you might receive an invitation to connect to another Wi-Fi Direct device. When two or more Wi-Fi Direct-certified devices connect directly, they have formed a Wi-Fi Direct Group, using Wi-Fi Protected Setup™ and the latest Wi-Fi security. Now you can get started doing all the exciting things that Wi-Fi Direct enables!" ... wifi alliance

I try to create a wifi connection to use local p2p
But it was not possible to connect to the other device via connection:
To find out more, I checked the networkInfo:
ni = NetworkInfo.networkInfo;
ni.addEventListener(Event.NETWORK_CHANGE,checkNetwork);
function checkNetwork(evt:Event):void
var ainterfaces:Vector.<NetworkInterface> = networkInfo.findInterfaces();
If I activate Wifi-Direct, actionscript dispatch an change event, but with the result that WIFI is deaktivated. No event will be fired after creating a wifi-direct connection. So I think it is not possible to use that feature. Would be a cool feature Request.

Can i establish wifi direct between lg smart tv and imac 10.6.8?

can i establish wifi direct between lg smart tv and imac 10.6.8?

In order to do that you will need an AppleTV, you can buy them refurbished from Apple for $75.00. I just got one and love it. I have a fairly large DVD library (about 400 movies) and music library (500 + albums), with AppleTV I can now stream that content to the the link to the refurbished unit is:

EDIT:Whoops I misdirected you. To stream content from the TV to the computer you will probably need a third party device like and Elgato box. I can only refer you to their website at: http://www.elgato.com/eyetv

HT5535 Does iPhone 5 support "WiFi Direct"

I want to print to my Brother printer from my iPhone 5 but I do not have a wireless network. The printer says that I can configure a wireless network between the printer and moblie devise (iPhone) with out an access point. The instruction first ask if the iPhone supports "WiFi Direst"? Does the iPhone 5 support Wi-Fi Direct? If not, does it support WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)? If it support WPS does it support "one push configuration?

iPhone 5 does not support wifi direct.
https://ask.sonos.com/sonos/topics/support_for_wifi_direct_both_incoming_and_out going
(look at the first response in this link, as it pertains to the iphone 5).
And it does not support WPS (I suspect because of security issues).

IOS Developer Program compatible with PC

Hi,
I had an idea to develop an app and decided to create it myself.
Is the IOS developer program compatible with PC's or will I have to purchase a Mac?
Thanks,

If this is an application that can use a game engine like Shiva or Unity3D, you can develop the entire game and test on a PC. You will still need a Mac (or run OS X from VMWare on PC) to build the application for submission to the app store, as well as to sign and deploy to your test device.

Will Bonjour discover when it is connected to wifi-direct?

Hi,
I have connected my laptop to my printer with WIFI Direct and can you please let me know whether Bonjour will be able to discover it with its print wizard which i downloaded in apple website?
When i open it actually, its not showing any thing to me.
Thanks,
Rekha.

If you try it on your computer, iTunes will give Error 5002.
Searching Twitter will return that everyone is having this problem. Apple will probably fix it in the next hours.

An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

How to save an image on iOS Safari direct to iCloud Drive

I'm currently browsing Safari on my iPhone and found a picture I'd like to save.
There's no option for me to save it to a user-created folder in iCloud Drive. Why?
I basicly have no way to browse, create, move, copy and share files with others
on iCloud Drive.
My opinion is iCloud Drive is no Dropbox killer, AT ALL!

I don't know of any way to save an image from IOS Safari "direct" to iCloud, but FWIW I don't know how to do that "direct" to Dropbox either.
However, there are lots of ways to get a Safari image to iCloud albeit not quite "directly."
1. Send a link of the image from your IOS device to a Mac. Open the link on the Mac and copy the image to your desktop. Open iCloud and drag and drop the image there.
2. Copy the image from IOS Safari, open an email to yourself, and paste the image. Open the email on your Mac and proceed as in #1.
3. Copy the image in IOS Safari, open a Pages document, and paste the image there. It will automatically be saved to iCloud.
4. Petition Apple to implement the "direct" transfer.
And there may well be other ways too - this can't exhaust the possibilities.
Hope this helps.

Ios 5 is compatible to ipad1

ios 5 is compatible to ipad1?

I have the iPad 1 and I updated as did King Penguin. I have had a couple of issues that come and go - and I change my opinion every day depending upon how the iPad is running at the time - but I would do the update all over again without hesitation.
I really like some of the new features - especially reminders and notifications, iCloud - and the problems are slowly being ironed out - I personally like the new Safari with tabs, and the bottom line is, my iPad is now as up to date as it can possibly be.
