Is it possible to use the GPS function on an IPAD2 without a 3G or WiFi connection

I have an IPAD2 with WiFi+3G. I need to be able to use the GPS without a WiFi or 3G connection. Is this possible? If so how.

Yes you can. The 3G iPad has a built-in GPS chip so doesn't need a connection to a 3G or wifi network to work. If you want to be able to view your position on a map then you need the relevant maps to have already been downloaded to the iPad, so you probably need one of the third-party mapping apps.

I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?

Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

Does gps work on ipad 3 without cell service or wifi connection?

does gps work on ipad 3 without cell service or wifi connection?

Yes it works. Initial position acquisition time may be longer, but works fine. Some applications download maps from the network. Unless your application has built in maps or the maps are cached, you won't be able to access maps or navigation feature. But GPS will work.

Locate my sales force using the GPS capabilities of an iPad2. Possible?

What if I have a nation wide sales force equipped with iPad 2 devices. I want to be able to see where they are on a map from the home office using the GPS locator capabilities built in to the device. The idea would be to get the closest salesperson to respond to a sales lead. Is this possible? Waht applications or setup would be necessary?

I cannot speak from experience becasue my iPad is Wi-Fi, I can only pass on what I have read. GPS only is a much slower system to initiate. You need to be in an area where the iPad can create an unobstructed line of sight with the satelite system. And that can take a while to occur. But with a SIM card you can take advantage of Assisted-GPS and tap into the fact that your iPad can know where it is faster becasue it can tap into the local cellular network and a data base of cell tower locations, as well as wi-fi hotspot locations. Folks report that this works even if you do not actually have cellular service account activated.
Are location services activated on your iPad? Have you ever denied the iPad access to your location?

Is it possible to use the Study Cards feature in iBooks without the special new .iBooks format?

The all new iBooks 2 has been released today, with quite a compelling array of features for students. I've watched a few videos, among those the introducory video from Apple, and one of the features that appealed to me most is the Study Cards feature, which uses notes you've created to generate study cards you can practise with.
Now, I have a bunch of .ePub books, most of which are annotated and have notes. To my surprise (and a tiny bit of frustration) however, I wasn't able to find the button to activate Study Cards.
I've tried to make a book myself using the also newly released iBooks Author application, and found that with the new book it indeed is possible to use the notes.
Is there any way to make Study Cards available for .ePub books as well?

I was thinking, perhaps there's a way to import ePub files into the iBook Author software, and thus create an iBooks format that enables the use of Study Cards.
I haven't found an easy way to do so yet, though. Perhaps some authors with more experience could share their methods of converting their published books to this new format, so we can try to do it with our own (DRM free) ebooks?

Does the GPS function work if you are out of cellular & wifi range?

How does the aGPS function of the iPhone 3G work? Do you have to have a cellular or wifi connection to be able to get a location fix, or will GPS satellite signals-only be sufficient?

Question?
Answer.
If you don't have EDGE, or 3G, how is the iPhone MAP app going to download the map?
It won't, as it can't.
I don't believe they are built in.
You believe right.
This is why Apple needs to let someone build a true GPS app for the iPhone, which you can download the maps to the phone.
Maybe. But this was not the question. The question was, if the iPhone 3G would be able to find it's location even without WiFi and cellular network. And yes, it would find the location. The question was not if it would be able to display that location in the Maps app.

Using the GPS Function

Is there an iphone app or that allows someone log onto the web and find the location of my iphone? I would like my family to be able to know where I am located when I am traveling.

The thing is, because its an app store app, it can't run unless you fire it up.
So if the OP has to fire something up, they might as well fire up email, or something.
There is no app that I know of that posts current position to a web page but there is an app that would be useful if there was a web site you were willing to allow track you.
http://www.mobileorchard.com/alocola-mobile-orchards-safari-helper-makes-website s-location-aware/
The above is an app store app that acts as a plug in for Safari, and if you surf to a web site that requests your position it will offer location awareness to Safari. If someone developed a (presumably password protected) web site, simply surfing to that site could record your location, and possibly make that data available to anyone with the proper passwords.
I don't know of any such web site now. Someone would have to create one. I wonder why the developer does not do that?

Is it possible to use the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store without a computer?

Hi all,
I received a new 16gb iPod Touch over the weekend. I don't have a PC or an Apple computer around, so I went down to the Apple store and they activated my iPod for me. Cool.
Now I want to buy some songs from the Wi-fi store, but it looks like I need an account. Is it possible to create an iTunes Music Store account without actually using iTunes? I searched the Apple site but was unable to find anything that helped.
Hmm...now that I spell it out, it does sound kind of impossible, since I would need to somehow get that account info onto my iPod Touch...am I screwed?
Thanks for any help!

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You've already created the AppleID (you need that to post here), could you ask a friend, work collegue or the Apple Store to allow you to sync those details across?
cheers

Using the "Find" function in RoboHelp 9.0.1.262

I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.1.262. Is it possible to use the "Find" function to find text in an entire project? I have only been able to use it to find text in individual topics within the project. This would be very inconvenient to have to go to each topic to do the search.

I'm not sure I would quite agree with saying the RH Find and Replace is lame or that FAR is just another text editor.
The RoboHelp Multi File Find and Replace has a serious limitation but it is one that is common. Most text editors do not search across multiple lines as I said.
FAR is not something I would regard as a text editor, more a compilation of authoring tools. Just today it save me a whole lot of work by being able to extract an HHC file from a CHM so that I could then get it into a RoboHelp project I had inherited with a wrecked TOC.

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic? Is this possible?

How can i set songs within a playlist, or an entire playlist, so that they are not included when using the shuffle function on IPOD Classic?
Is this possible?

You can set any song to Skip when shuffling.
In your iTunes Library, highlight the song and right-click/Get Info. On the Options tab is the Skip when shuffling box. Select that and then Sync the iPod with your Library.

I feel like a sucker. I bought an iPAD2 at Fry's where I was told by the salesman that the non 3-G version does have GPS. It does not have GPS. Is there any way I can use the GPS on my Iphone or Garmin to display in my new mostly unuseable iPad2?

Is there anyway to input a live, real time video feed into an iPad2? I would like to use it as a remote monitor for a microscope camera in electrophysiology. Our camera was designed to run off of an older Mac via a firewire connection. The camera is SUPERB but the computers are dated. The older computers connected to an AC line are electrically noisy. I have worked out converting the signal from our camera to HDMI and/or USB2 but the iPad2 will not allow any input except via iTunes which is not real time, and requires several steps. Is it possible to use the only mostly useless iPad2 as the excellent portable DC driven display which it is?!!! How do I get Apple to say anything but IGNORE, IGNORE IGNORE. This would be a universal application in academics and all I think I need is permission from the iPad2. The original signal was designed for Apple hardware. They can have the patents. HELP?

I have an iPad mini, I am connected to my work wireless connection. My printer also is on the same wireless network, however I am not able to print to my airprint enabled printer through this wireless connection. Is there a way to direct connect to the printer via a cable ?
I am missing something here on the connection. I am thinking possibly a firewall here at work will not allow me to use the airprint function. Help ?

There is no support for wired printing.
It is probably a firewall issue, possibly where all inbound communications are blocked. Since you're at work, I'd call your work IT department and find out from them what you can/can't do.

How to use the pps function from JCOP?

Hi
I'm trying to use the pps function from JCTerminal (JCOP API: [url http://www.cs.ru.nl/~woj/jcopapi/com/ibm/jc/JCTerminal.html#pps(int, int)]pps function ) to connect my client to a virtual card with a specific protocol (T=0).
But I always got the error: "Protocol and parameter selection not supported by this terminal!"
I've tried to make an ATR that support both protocol : [url http://smartcard-atr.appspot.com/parse?ATR=3b909580811fc7dc]3B 90 95 80 81 1F C7 DC.
I really don't know what value to put in the second parameter (baud rate), I've tried with 150000, which is in the range of the ATR but I'm not sure this is correct. And I could't find any example of it.
I'm also not sure where to put the pps command, the specification say directly after a reset, so I tried this implementation:
System.out.print("Start");
 readers = TerminalFactory.getDefault().terminals().list(State.CARD_PRESENT);
 //If no readers has a card it ends the process
 if(readers.isEmpty()){
 System.out.println("\nNo card in the reader...");
 return;
 System.out.println("\nReader Type: "+readers.get(0).toString());
 term = (PCSCJCTerminal)JCTerminal.getInstance("PCSC", readers.get(0).toString().substring(15));
 term.open();
 System.out.println("\nTerminal opened");
 //Getting the ATR
 atr = new ATR(term.waitForCard(2000));
 try {
 term.pps(JCTerminal.PROTOCOL_T0, (int)150000);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 System.out.println("ATR: "+toHex(atr.getBytes()));
 //sending a data 11223344
 System.out.println("\nsending data: 11223344");
 byte[] responsesend = term.send(0,cmdsend,0,cmdsend.length);
 System.out.println("Response data is:" + toHex(responsesend));
 //close terminal
 term.close();
 System.out.println("\nTerminal closed");I've got this output on the console:
StartReader Type: PC/SC terminal Virtual CAD Reader 0
Terminal opened
ATR: 3b 90 95 90 00 81 1f c7 cc
sending data: 11223344
Protocol and parameter selection not supported by this terminal!

And If I take a look at the data exchanged with the card:

I'm using a virtual terminal (windows driver), and I don't see how I could turn off the Auto-pps. I've also tried with a real reader and a card and I have the same error.
-2
I've tried value in the range of the atr (based on this analysis: [url http://smartcard-atr.appspot.com/parse?ATR=3b909580811fc7dc]http://smartcard-atr.appspot.com/parse?ATR=3b909580811fc7dc ). But I don't know if only I value of baud-rate is possible in the range. Anyway I just would like to change the protocol, not the baud-rate.
-3
I've already tried to call pps function before, after the first reset, or with another reset later and I always got the same thing.
 term = (PCSCJCTerminal)JCTerminal.getInstance("PCSC", readers.get(0).toString().substring(15));
 term.open();
 System.out.println("\nTerminal opened");
 //Getting the ATR
 atr = new ATR(term.waitForCard(2000));
 System.out.println("ATR: "+toHex(atr.getBytes()));
 jcard = new JCard(term,atr,0);
 jcard.reset();
 try {
 term.pps(JCTerminal.PROTOCOL_T0, (int)312500);
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }The same pps is always send after each reset...
