Is it possible to connect 2 accessories to an iPad at the same time?

I use an iPad as a cash register.  I currently have a credit card reader connected to it and I have a bluetooth barcode scanner.  There is a lot of interference with the bluetooth device and so I would like to hard wire the scanner to the iPad as well.  Is there an adapter I can use to plug both devices into one port? I'm not super computer savvy but it seems to me that a device as sophisticated as an iPad ought to be able to handle 2 plug ins.
Thanks for any help!

Is your credit card reader wired through the iPad through the charging port or headphone jack?
As of this moment, there is no dual link that will attach to the charging port that supports both a credit card reader and a barcode scanner.
If you're having problems with the bluetooth on the barcode scanner, I advise moving any electronics near the iPad, or any obstructions. Also, restart the bluetooth and repairing daily helps. On another note however, depending on what type of bluetooth your iPad aquires, (bluetooth 2.1 for iPad 1 and 2, or bluetooth 4.0 for iPad 3) it can limit the range how far you can use your barcode scanner and how fast it can transmit data. A safe distance in my opinion is between 5-10ft using the scanner or any bluetooth device from your iPad.
Hope this works!

  • Is it possible to show a presentation on multiple Ipads at the same time?

    I am running a presentation in a few months time and would like to mirror our presentation live on a number of Ipads at the same time.  Currently we are most likely to use Prezi as the presentation format.  Is this possible?
    Many thanks,
    Ed

    Assuming all participants have an Internet connection, it appears to support conferencing, so I don't see why not. If you are looking to provide a wired connection for all of them, doubt it.

  • Is it possible to open 2 books in iBooks at the same time?

    Is it possible to open 2 books in iBooks at the same time?

    You can only have one book open on-screen at a time, and you will need to go back to the bookshelf to select and re-open the second book. If you have the second book from a different store so that it's in a different app (e.g. an Amazon purchase in the Kindle app) then you could switch between then two apps/books via the iPad's taskbar - but you won't be able to have both apps open on screen at the same time.

    Is it possible to work on 2 Blurb books at the same time in LR4?

    Yes, sure you can.
    Just make sure that you create a collection of the images used for each book.
    Otherwise when you go back to a book you previously worked on the images won't be found.
    Also, as said earlier create a <saved book> - top right in the Book Module.

  • How many bluetooth devices can be connected to iPad at the same time?

    Can  I connect wireless keyboard and trackpad to iPad at the same time?

    You can connect several devices at a time, however iPads don't support mice, so you can't connect the trackpad to it.

  • Will it be possible to run several jobs in background at the same time?

    Hi!
    The new release looks promising. Look forward to hear more in Birmingham.
    Just now we have a problem. It have to do with functionality In Toad compared to SQL Developer.
    Will it be possible to run several jobs in background at the same time. Toad allows that.
    If yes: How can we make that happen?

    "Jobs" are always background.
    But I take you mean queries. Yes, since v1.5.x you can open an Unshared SQL Worksheet (ctrl-shift-n or the toolbar button).
    Have fun,

  • Problems to connect two external firewire hardrives at the same time

    I try to have both external connected at the same time one via Firewire 800 and the other via Firewire 400 and it doesn't work. My solution is to change to Usb 2.0 one of them. Maybe I have a problem with my Firewire? How can I check if the ports are working properly?
    Thank you in advance for any help!

    I'm having a similar problem. New iMac 24" with one FW 400 and one FW 800. I have a Seagate in an external case connected to the FW 400 and I got a new LaCie D2 triple interface and am trying to connect via the FW 800. Both drives have their own power supplies. When I connect the LaCie to the 800 port, it mounts and works fine. But as soon as I connect the Seagate to the 400 port, the LaCie icon disappears and I get a message about improper removal of a device. So, both drives work fine when connected one at a time, but don't play nicely together. I will appreciate any suggestions.

  • Connect external audio + internal audio in the same time

    Hello,
    how I can connect my bose companion 2 and permit to operate at the same time the integrated speaker and the external audio speaker? I can with usb-rca cable. where I should bay?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    I do not know anyone who has figured out how to do that! You can either use the external speakers or the internal speakers, but not both at the same time.

  • Can not connect to printer and internet at the same time

    I use my airport to connect to the internet via the ethernet port. Internet was working fine until I connected my printer to airport via its USB port. Now the printer works fine but I can't connect to the internet using the same connection.
    I can still connect to the same server using its wireless service, but I have to keep hitting the drop down list in the menu bar to select that connection. Can't I just keep connected to the same connection without having to switch back and forth? I thought these mac products were supposed to be all user friendly... I don't have time for this.

    The only way to print and use the internet (or university network) at the same time is to do one of the following:
    (1) Connect the printer via USB to your computer.
    (2) Connect the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) via Ethernet to the university's network and then configure the AEBS to act as a bridge (not sharing a single IP address).
    The AEBS can NOT wirelessly join the network.

  • IPad charging in car and connection to CD changer unit at the same time

    Hi all,
    Firstly, this is my first post here, so apologies if my post is either considered rude or unto wards in any fashion. Apologies also if this question has been covered elsewhere - I have searched the forums to sone extent, but cannot guarantee that I haven't missed something!
    I'm looking for a splitter cable for in-car use with the iPad.
    The specifics of my car stereo are as such :
    no bluetooth
    No AUX either.
    I have a CD Changer connect at the rear of the car head unit, to which is attached a factory installed cable. This cable is CD Changer plug for the car stereo end, going to 30-pin connector at the other end.
    This is a perfect solution for my old iPod photo - it allows me to control the iPod via the car stereo, AND charge the iPod at the same time.
    However...
    I have an iPad 2 which I would like to use in place of the iPod photo. I wish to plug the iPod (Music app) into the car stereo, and use one of the GPS apps, AND charge the iPad 2 all at the same time.
    There is not enough juice coming from the car stereo to allow me to do all this concurrently, as you will probably be aware. If my car journeys were short, I would not be too worried, but I often use the car for journeys that are longer than 10 hours. The iPad, with the GPS and iPod apps running at the same time, will not remain "alive" for this amount of time - the longest I've managed is about 6 and a half hours before the iPad runs out of juice.
    So I'm looking for a splitter that I can slot into the dock connection of the iPad and will split into USB for the cigar lighter and into a 30 pin (female) that will go to the 30 pin (male) connector that runs to the CD Changer port on the car stereo.
    In other words (and I hope this diagram works) :
                                                                  IPad
                                                             USB.     30-pin (f)
                                                            /.                 30-pin (m)
                                                Cigar lighter.                CD Changer plug
    I have looked everywhere on line, have contacted various cable suppliers (such as USBFever) but up 'till now I have had no joy.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.                               

    Thanks, Rudegar, for your reply.
    Unfortunately, I wouldn't know where to start, not being terribly technically minded. And I'm not sure that this would be an economic resolution - would this involve buying soldering irons etc.? And would I be able to be sure that I wouldn't mess something up, and cause overheating/other damage to the iPad itself?
    Surely this must be a fairly common problem, however? I'm sure that I'm not the only one looking for such thing??
    Anyone else have a solution?
    Thanks.

  • Keeping a Officejet Pro 8600 connected wireless and by ethernet at the same time

    I have one computer connected to this printer by ethernet, because the computer is to far away to be connected by usb. Whenever I want to print off of a laptop or tablet the printer won't print unless I physically disconnect the ethernet cable. When someone wants to print from the ethernet connected printer, they have to go back and reconnect the cable. Is there a way to fix this? Because quite honestly its a PAIN. I have had other printers from other manufactures that I was able to do this with. I find it hard to believe that HP would have such a backwards and utterly inconvenient setup.

    Welcome to the HP Community @zhadum5000 !
    I read through your post and wanted to respond to you. The printer cannot connect to both wireless and ethernet at the same time. You can connect wireless and USB however, you cannot combine both network connections. Your best bet would be to either stick with only ethernet, or only wireless.
    I hope this helps answer your question!
    Have a great day!
