Is there a nonwireless headphone that plugs directly into the iPad? Thank you Artie

Hi, name is Artie, I am not tech savvy, but am an old geezer. My kid is laughing at me for buying an iPad. I think my question is simple- is there a headphone that plugs directly into the iPad? I am interested in something cheap/simple that will allow me to watch shows/movies on the iPad while sitting on the couch with the Missus while she watches her shows on tv. I have a separate keyboard which is Bluetooth, but would prefer simple headphones so I can leave a pair at all the locations I will be using the iPad at, on a regular basis. Thank you Artie

The iPad has a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack on it.
Any set of headphones with a 3.5 mm jack will work.
Thank you Johnathan, but I think I stated that pretty clearly: "you can use any stereo earphones with a 3.5 mm plug."

  • I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too..

    I have a Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G wireless router and 2 Airport Extremes (the small ones that plug directly into the wall). Is it possible to extend the network from the router using these two AEs? I have a DVD player and Ext HD plugged into the router too. Any ideas? I'm guessing the only way is to do what I've seen in these community pages which states that it can be done but it will drop the bandwidth by 50%. Thoughts?? Thanks!

    The Cisco/Linksys WRT-54G was one of the very few routers said to be compatible with Apple's implementation of WDS (Wireless Distribution System) settings.
    The info that I have on file indicates that only the WRT-54G versions 4 and under were compatible, so that would be one bridge to cross.
    Even if you find that your Cisco/Linksys might be the right version, Apple never published instructions on how to configure the Express devices with other manufactures, so users were left to their own devices to try to figure out how to get things working. Apple's instructions to connect to other Apple devices are in the link below:
    WDS network
    If you were hoping to use 2 Express devices in this type of configuration...even if it works...the bandwidth penalties will be extremely severe.
    The first Express drops the bandwidth (and speed) on the entire network in half and the second halves everything again. So, the result, in effect would be a "g" wireless network running at 25% speed. Few users would consider installing this type of network.
    At this point, it becomes one of those things where the fact that you might be able to do something does not mean that there would be much value in doing so. But, it is your decision to decide if you want to try to proceed.

  • WiFi device that plugs directly into the USB slot on a printer?

    My next door neighbor has a MacBook with Airport installed.  She wants to use the portable around the house and send documents to a printer located in the basement.  She does not need a router to network additional devices, so what is the most reliable, reasonably priced device that plugs directly into the printer's USB port without the use of a cable (e.g. device with receiving antenna)?  Thanks.

    Well, Badunit, it's more convenient and takes up less room if it plugs directly into the USB port, plus you save the cost of a cable unless one ships with the unit.  Here are two I found at Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/802-11g-Wireless-Long-Rang-Network-Adapter/dp/B0035H4164/r ef=pd_cp_e_4
    Trouble is, they have too many negative reviews.  Besides, just how well do they work with the Airport Extreme card since most of these reviews are not Mac related, and those that are are negative?
    I'd like a device that is guaranteed to work well with the 2008 MacBook Airport card as the broadcast device.  Perhaps she will have to rely on a separate Linksys router with print server.

  • HT1586 Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    Can the Apple TV 3rd generation be played through a Danon receiver or is the only option to plug directly into the tv?

    AppleTV has no analogue connections.
    It has HDMI which can go to your TV or in theory to an AV receiver equipped with HDMI inputs.
    Some HDMI amps/receivers and HDMI switches can cause glitches with AppleTV but it really depends on the particular device.
    AppleTV also has optical out, so if you only wanted a connection for Dolby Digital or stereo feeds from the AppleTV you could connect AppleTV to teh TV via HDMI and also run optical to the amp.
    Audio is output over HDMI and optical simultaneously.

    I have it, bought it at walmart, and yes, it works just fine. Nice to have an extra 6 feet or so.
    then again..yes, an extension cord or power strip will work quite well too.....and leave you an extra 20 dollars or so to play iwth.

  • I tried to export photos from iMac to iPad using a USB flash drive.  The photos are on the drive but when I plug it into the iPad, the iPad says the device requires too much power.  Any ideas of what type of USB flash drive I should use?

    You can transfer photos outside of iTunes. I do it all the time. THat said, i have a 50/50 success rate with them. I'd avoid sandisk and kingston, their bundled software triggers the 'too much power' warning.
    I've had mixed luck with lexar, some work, some don't.
    I did have good luck with an older 4 gig geek squad one.
    Look for drives without software on them, without bright LED lights and I haven't gotten any larger than 4 gig to work, but that may just be me.
    For a less troublesome way? h onestly, I use a SD card that I've formatted with the DCIM folder. I've never had one of them trigger the 'too much power' warning. Just make sure they're not SDXC. those don't work.

  • How do I limit access of a computer that is plugged directly into the router?

    I have an AirPort Extreme, Version 7.6.1  I need to limit access of a computer that's plugged by usb directly into the router.  I have the MAC address for this computer and have had restrictions on it the in the past, but it was connected by WiFi then.  How do I do this?  Do I limit access to the Ethernet ID?  I don't want to lock myself out trying to figure it out; I did that last night.  Can someone advise please.

    You could use OpenDNS's parental controls:
    http://www.opendns.com/home-solutions/parental-controls
    It can restrict access according to your specifications for everyone on your network.
    It's free.

  • Charger/speaker dock combo that plugs directly into wall

    Would you nano users be interested in a product like this?
    The main benny is allowing a new method of use for the nano (besides just being on-the-go mp3 player)
    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/hern/waldok-wall-plug-in-speaker-charger-fo r-the-ipod-n

    Looks interesting, and one side benefit is that one could charge the Nano on the way. (The 6g Nano isn't known for its battery.) You can listen to podcasts - but radio use would take some more work.
    Commercially, I suspect that most would prefer a unit that's usable charging in a wall socket - and can be independently, possibly with its own little battery.

  • Are there any wireless headphones that don't cancel the TV's sound?

    We need a wireless headphone for my husband that doesn't shut off the room sound for me.  Does one exsist?

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums.
    Sony does have Wireless Headphones but it will be up to the television if the sound will be completely cut off. Click on the hyperlink to see the headphones Sony has to offer.
    The wireless headphones base connection will be connected to the AUDIO OUT connections on the back of the TV. The TV settings for audio will determine if it will allow audio to be output through the TV speakers as well as AUDIO OUT on the back of the TV.
    Please check the following link for other wireless headphones Sony has to offer.

  • Is there ANY wireless mouse that will work with the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard?

    I have the iPad 2 and Apple's Wireless Keyboard and would like to purchase a wireless mouse that will accommodate my Apple products. I do understand that Apple's Magic Mouse is not compatible with the iPad 2, but would like to hear if there is any possibility that i could use a wireless mouse with my iPad.
      Thanks :)

    You don't have to purchase a mouse. You already have one, it's wireless and the only one that will work on an iPad.

    My IPad is stuck on Verifying.  I'm on the Settings page and there is a box that says Account not Verified.  At the bottom is something in red asking me if I want Delete Account?  It's been stuck for an hour.  I tried turning my IPad off, but when I go back on and into Settings it's still there.  Does anyone know how to get out of this?  Thank you.

    To do a reboot, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Is there a USB hub that works as well as plugging directly into Mac?

    Some items don't seem to work as well when they are plugged into my "entrega machub 4U" as when they are plugged directly into my Mac Pro (i.e. my Logitech Web cam). Given the low number of USB ports on my Mac, I need a hub that can handle my accessories. Can anyone recommend a brand that works as well as plugging directly into the Mac?
    Thanks for any help.

    I'm with the hatter, pci-e is the best way to go.

  • Can connect to internet when plugged directly into linksys cable modem but

    I have an Airport Extreme router, am running Windows Xp, and can connect to the internet when I plug my laptop directly into my linksys cable modem. I can also connect to the internet when I plug directly into the airport extreme via cat 5 cable. However, when I try to connect wirelessly via airport extreme, I cannot get on the internet, even though it shows I have excellent signal strength on the laptop, have a solid green light on the airport, and all lights look right on the cable modem. It says something about error -6753. This is what I am doing now; I am connected to the airport via cat 5 cable, and am downloading all software / firmware updates for the airport, do you think this will fix my problem? How do I diagnose if my problem is with the wireless settings on the laptop, or with the airport? thanks, this is extremely aggravating.

    Welcome to the discussions forums airporteggstreme.
    I found a couple of posts that may be relevant. They point to the fact that your PC may be looking for a different address when it's connected wirelessly versus its wired connection. I believe you'll solve the problem by making sure both your Airport and your PC are configured to get their IP addresses via DHCP. If all else fails "hard reset" your Airport, unplug your PC's Ethernet cable and set it up wirelessly. That should work.
    Here's the link: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies-archive.cfm/228336.html
    It refers to an Express but the Extreme will be similar. If you scroll way down you'll find the following:
    In order to configure the Airport Express you not only need to connect to it as the access point but *also need to treat it as a DHCP server.*
    If you connect the the AE as a base station but do not have "Obtain IP address automatically" in your network settings you will receive error code -6753. I racked my brain on that for a while after doing a number of hard resets. Once I went into my PC's network settings and removed the manual IP address I had set there (192.168.15.104) and set for automatic ip address retrieval I was able to configure the AE using the admin utility.
    Once you have finished configuring the base station and set it to join your existing network, you can change your PC's IP back to whatever you need for your own purposes.

  • What is wrong with my 30" Cinema Display?  The USB and FireWire ports still work, but the screen is pitch black. When you plug it into the computer, it detects that it's a Cinema Display.

    When you plug it into the computer, it detects that it's a Cinema HD but the screen is pitch black.
    For some reason, the USB and FireWire ports still work.

    If you shine a really bright light directly into the screen can you then see a faint image on the screen? If so, that would indicate the backlight has died (hardware failure) and the unit needs repairing.

  • How can i prioritize PBX over Router? (PBX and Router plug directly into Modem)

    Hello everyone,
    I work for a small ISP and i just got hired here a couple months ago. I've been tasked to figure out a solution to this problem. We have customers that have a network, and they also have a phone system. Both devices (router and PBX box) have a static IP address and plug directly into the modem. The issue we see is that the internal network is hogging the bandwidth and this kills the phone systems quality. What i tried was putting a 2960 in between the modem and router/PBX system. Then rate limiting the port to the internal network but it doesn't work out so well. I have it set to use 8mb/800bk. Which should dedicate 2mb/200kb for their phone system at all times. But when i do speed tests i get 2mb down and 200kb up. My download speeds are not right, yet when i do a "no mls qos" the download goes to the 8mb i have set, but then my upload doesnt work correctly. Does anyone have an idea to fix this? Or any better ideas?

    Heres an update, even with the Router plugged into fa0/1 with the following config, it still only gets 2.5mb down. Ideas? Could it be because the ports on 10mb?
