Is there a way to mirror the screen of an iPad to a mac via wifi?

hi,
I'm starting work on a system for a school, part of which will be to project the screen of a selected ipad onto an LED projector. Ideally this will go via a mac (iMac or mac pro) so that I can switch the source ipad in software. And even more ideally, I'll be able to access the video stream on the mac so that I can do stuff with it in max/msp/jitter (in which I can select video input sources).
I've managed to find several Apps that will send the Mac's output to the ipads, but not the other way around.
Anyone got any ideas?
thanks
David.

If you set up Find My iPhone on the phone, you can track the iPhone without any indication on the phone that it's being tracked.

You'll have to use an iCloud account that your child does not have access to, though, and set up restrictions so that your child can't change the iCloud settings, and unless he or she is very young or very unsophisticated about the iPhone (and his/her friends are equally unsophisticated) he/she is likely to notice that you've set something up, though it may not be apparent what that would be.
Regards.

Is there a way to mirror the screens, apps, info on iPhone to iPod Touch?

I have an iPhone 4. My kids are now using my old iPhone 3GS as an iPod touch. And...the last time I bought a Macbook we were given an iPod Touch. I basically have the same stuff on all of them. The idea is that any of my kids can pick up any one of those three devices and see the same setup. But anytime I download a new app via my phone, I have to go in and manually add it to the other two devices when I sync them to my computer. Is there anyway to make this a bit more automatic. Not really a necessity but it sure would make things less redundant and more fun!

You should be able to do this, but only if the iPod Touch is new enough to be able to upgraded to iOS 5. If so, make sure you update the 3GS and the Touch to iOS 5, and sign in with the same Apple ID at Settings > Store on both devices. Also, on that same page, turn Automatic Downloads on. That should take care of automatically adding apps purchased on one device to the other. Note that this won't work retroactively. So, any apps already purchased will not be automatically downloaded to the other device. It will start working for future purchases.

Is there a way to copy full resolution pictures to ipad from my mac via usb or sd connection kit?

I would like to copy my pictures to my ipad 2 at full resolution, partily for editing, partily for backup. I have used some of the wifi ipad apps out there and they all seem to be problematic and load up the camer roll. I have the sd and usb camera connection kit put out by apple and this works great as long as the pics are in their original file name (for some reason).
I would love to be able to just use the usb camera connection kit plug and copy all of these over in their folders ect. But I realize that may not be possible at this time.
Is their another easier way?

Syncing them via iTunes (and via Photo Stream in the Cloud) will 'optimise' them, so you will either need to use one of the wifi-transfer apps (in which case they will go into the Camera Roll) or the camera connection kit (when they will go into an 'imported' album). For the CCK and you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
I haven't tried any, but there may be third-party apps that you could use to store and keep the same file organisation of your photos.

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up every time an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button?

Is there a way to keep the screen from lighting up everytime an email comes in, but still be able to see the email on the lock screen when you press the home button? This is killing my battery, but also is kinda the whole point of the notification center in my mind.

This is something I've been wondering. I am a bit like you, I like being able to have a glance at emails or Facebook updates without having to log in, and I think it would be great to be able to turn off the notification switching the screen on, especially for emails as I do get a lot, and Facebook, but I somehow doubt it is possible.
I am currently monitoring how much this eats up my battery charge. On a normal day, after an overnight charge, I would probably still have 30%-40% left when I leave work in the evening. Today, I was down to 48% by lunchtime, where I've usually got a good 60-70% left... Might have to turn email notifications off on lock screen until it's possible to have them appearing in the list without flashing me...

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Is there a way to hide the reading pane in iPad mail after a message is read?

Selecting a different email will change what is displayed. Tapping the Home button will take you back to the Home screens. Tapping the power button on the top of the iPad will put it to sleep. Those are pretty much your options.

No. Create a playlist that you then sync to your iPod, and choose whatever view you wish of the playlist within iTunes.

Is there a way to get the screen saver on user "a" to use iphoto pictures from user "b"?

Is there a way to have the iphoto screen saver use the photos from a different iphoto user? My husband leaves his account open and he has only old photos when the screen saver kicks in. I would like to have my photos be able to pop up on his screen saver. I need to find them in the system preferences screen saver place, but have it access my iphotos and not only his. How? Also, I would like a better system on organizing my photos.. I have them all in events by year and it is difficult of often find favorite specfic photos. Thank you. Melody

In short, no. The whole point of different accounts is to keep your data separate from his, and your photos are your data.
You could share a library? It can be a bit complex.
You can use Fast-User switching to switch over to your account - takes a couple of seconds
As to organising your Photos - iPhoto is a database and offers pretty much unlimited options for organising your pics, but it takes a bit of work to go beyond the basic and automatic.
If you take the time to assign Places then you cn see all the photos in your Library based on where they were taken. (Of course, that's of limited use if they're all taken in your backyard ) Faces means you can sort the Library based on who's in the Photos.
Beyond that, simple thigns like naming the Events will help - Xmas 11, Bobby's Wedding, Rome 2009 and so on. You can then search on those basic words in the search box.
After that: Keywording. The following is a canned answer I use to describe my system. It may spark some ideas for you.
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 40k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

Hi all,
I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.

Is there a way to access the screen (headless operation) of a machine being used as a Mac OS X (ML) Server?

I'm using ML OS X Server and so far have enabled only FIle Sharing. Is there a way to share a screen with the Mac Mini (server host) while in Server operation? What section(s) need to be enabled to do this? I can access the Server remotely using the Server app, but as yet have not configured the web app to manage the server. Even if I do, this will not allow me to run an app as I could while at the server machine's screen, keyboard and mouse. My goal to operate this machine almost full time headlessly.
Thanks!!

You can use screen sharing even if the Mac is headless; it's been that way for awhile now. You probably have to go back to the G3s to find Macs couldn't run headless or that you'd have to trick. I used my old G4 MDD headless this weekend; I used screen sharing and remote desktop from a 2011 Mini and 2011 MBP. I sometimes to do it with my mini Server, when I use the 23" LCD with my MBP, leaving the Server headless.
Hmm... I noticed this as a problem when I had the Mini's combo video (VGA) output adapter plugged in to its VGA screen.
When the monitor power was lost (due to it's plug being on an unprotected plug and the power being out) AND while display still connected without a working power source, lost the remote display, too. In that case, the Screen Sharing wouldn't work from a remote computer on the local network. Did not try unplugging the connection completely (suppose that rebooting might be necessary to see the headless mode?). Mention it here because you might also want to be aware of that situation for the future...
Moving the plug-in to protected power for the monitor (even if off) did cure the problem and easier for me too. Checked with screen share (vnc:// connection seems to behave the same). We're probably doing the same thing, or pretty close to it. Seems I just have to completely detach the screen connection to effectively use the "headless' mode, which I didn't do. Note the specs of my Mini as below to compare with yours (it's not a new version 'server' model).

Is there a way to use the battery on my ipad to extend the talk time on my iphone?

Is there any way to use the ipad battery to extend the talk time on my iphone?

I don't understand what you are asking. Do you mean connecting the iPad to the iPhone with a double-ended dock connector cable to transfer the battery energy to the iPhone?
If that's what you mean, I'm pretty sure that's impossible.

I have a macbook pro running 10.6 Snow Leapord, is there a way to split the screen like I could with my old windows computer? So I can watch or surf on one and another task on the other?

My laptop a macbook pro is my only connection with the outside world, I would like to be able if possible to watch or stream video content to my bigscreen tv as I easily can via the 1080 connection available on the two of them.
But I would like to be able to keep the video playing on the external TV screen and use the computer screen to view other content on the web simultainously is that macbook pro posterous or MB Propetually possible?
Any other part of this post below is 100% unnessisary and invalid with relation to my posted request for help leading to any answers resolving my situation thanks. Have a wonderful full life always with respect for self and all that is creation.
***********************************Excuse the added little incorperation of incredably creative crud keeping it clean but cra? with a P was ment to fit.
Please just open your heart and help a Lep, Snow Lepord that is with down syndrom operating it thats me!
There are many endless things life has to offer, but only for those able mentally to perform the details involved with the task, ask Jesus he tryed teaching others how to walk on water but they persisted with leaving it up to figments of heavenly spiritual imagination, I guess maybe he made a bad choice with his teachers he intended on taking it to spread among the others throughout the world?

With the external screen connected and turned on, open the Displays pane in System Preferences. On the screen containing your menu bar, you should now see a Displays preference dialog box with an "Arrangement" tab in it. Click the Arrangement tab. Uncheck the box for "Mirror Displays," or make sure it is already unchecked. In the image within the preferences dialog box you should see two adjoining blue rectangles representing your two screens. A white bar on one representes the menu bar and indicates that that is the primary display. The larger rectangle represents your TV screen. If it's on the right side of the smaller rectangle representing your MBP's screen, then dragging a window off the right side of the built-in screen will move the window onto the TV.
Now open any application window — a web browser window, for example — and drag it by its title bar to move it off the edge of your built-in screen onto the TV screen. Got that? You can do the same thing with any other window, including a DVD Player or VLC window containing a movie that you want to watch.
Things to note: In this dual-display mode, which is called Extended Desktop mode, the menu bar and Dock will always appear on only one of the screens, and you can choose which one they appear on by dragging the white bar representing the menu bar from one rectangle to the other in the System Prefs > Displays > Arrangement tab. You can also set the resolutions of the two screens independently of each other. The highest available resolution on each screen will always provide the sharpest image.

Is there a way to stop the screen from updating till the code is executed?

My extension needs to export all the layers to PNGs and it creates a lot of moving around in the screen while the operation is complete (eg: switching between layers, cropping the images, etc). I've set the Playback mode to Accelerated as well.
Is there a way to not update Photoshop UI during the process? (I have seen similar functionality in Microsoft Excel/VBA scripting)

As a shameless hack: put a layer on top, fill it with the color you like the most and that will prevent the document from revealing what's going on below.
It's a bit like hiding the dust under the carpet, there might be cases when you need to turn it off (e.g. merge on top) but for basic stuff it does the job.
Besides that, there's a undocumented "viewless document" or something like that, but you can do very limited processing - XBytor wrote something on ps-scripts.com years ago.

Is There a Way to Leave the Screen on When Connected to USB?

I assume even if the screen is on it continues to charge so it seems unnecessary to let it time out and have to enter the password again and again. So, is there as way to set it to stay unlocked (screen on) when it's on USB, but time out and lock when on battery only?

No, there is not setting to differentiate when charging and when on battery.

Is there a way to keep the screen from turning off

I would like a way to keep my screen from going to sleep while browsing. Sometimes I am still reading the current screen when it dims out. The browser I am hoping to replace with Firefox has this option. Is there a way (option or addon) to do this?

Not possible from within Firefox. You can check to see if your device has a 'Never' option for screen timeout under 'Display' settings in Android settings. I suspect not available though as that would be a hindrance towards battery lifetime.
