Is there a way to use an adapter to connect my ipad to a USB keyboard and to an ACDC for power

I have a tablet keyboard with a male USB plug attached to it and it came with an adapter with a female USB on one end and a mini male USB on the other end. I was wondering if there is a way to use that keyboard with my iPad and iPod? There are adapters that plug into laptops and pc's that you can plug keyboards and mice into. Will it work if I plug the iPod or iPad into one and the keyboard into one and then plug one into the ACDC power adapter (since I am sure the keyboard will drain the battery quicker). I am so tired of the iPad keyboard always hiding what I am trying to type.

As far as I know, there isn't any support for USB keyboards. THe iPad is designed to work with blue tooth ones.
That power issue that you state is why it likley won't work. An update in 2011 reduced the amount of power allocated to the charging port and I don't think it's capable of outputting enough to run a keyboard.

Is there an accessory that will allow me to connect my iPad 2 to a TV and at the same time have it charging?

I'm going on vacation and want to watch movies on a TV by connecting my iPad 2 to the TV. I've got the cable for that. However, I'm afraid of the battery going dead right in the middle of a program. I've noticed that the iPad dock only has one outlet in the back for a cable. Is there a dock or another accessory that would allow me to have my iPad charging while I also have it connected to the TV to watch the movie? Thanks.

If your TV is HDMI (and most are now) the Digital AV adapter does just that. Just remember that you need to have an HDMI cable.

Is there any way to use video with the new Flash CC HTML5 Canvas?

I am a long time Flash user trying to determine if this new version of the program is something to add to the workflow again (after the last several years of not being able to use it) and the tutorials I have seen are not well written. Is there a way to use a video file within the animation, like with the AS2 and AS3 versions of Flash where I could insert a video clip into a symbol and animate the symbol while the video played.
What I need to know is what format of video file I should use and how to add it into the timeline since Flash does not seem to be allowing for any type of import for this.
Any Thoughts?
Thanks,
Brett

Ok, so there are limitations, are they written down somewhere? I have been looking for a list of do and do not functions and the ways to work around them. Are they in the documentation somewhere I haven't discovered?
Right now all I am looking to do is create Classic Tweens that animate movement and opacity so I can create a presentation with video that includes these elements. Is that level of functionality available in the HTML5 Canvas, or is that still on the drawing board?
Is there a specific name for what I am looking to do that would aid my search? HTML5 video is not enough since the answer has not been forthcoming in Google or on Adobe or Stack Overflow. I am starting to think that nobody has thought of this yet, or if they have they decided that it is not currently possible and skipped the part where the rest of us find out.
Any thoughts on making the connection to either doing this or finding out that it is just not possible yet would be very helpful.

Updated to iTunes 11, all my playlists are gone, is there a way to save /transfer the playlist from my iPad to the computer?

Hi,
I have just updated to iTunes 11, once I opened itunes I noticed all my music, books, programs and app's had disapeared. Luckily for me I have everything backed up, except for my playlists.
Is there a way to save /transfer the playlist from my iPad to the computer?
And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
Thanks

And is there a way to backup the playlist for next time I need to restore my computer or update Itunes.
Your playlists and other info is stored in the "iTunes Library..ITL" file in your My Documents\My Music\iTunes directory, if you regularly back up that file you are safe. Also just to be sure also backup the iTunes Library.xml which is located in the same directory.

Is there a way to use 2 firewire devices on my macbook?

Hi,
I want to try using my panasonic gs-120 camcorder to make a little movie of my kids. I have a intel macbook with 2GB. Is there any way to use the camcorder with the firewire port and my external firewire drive? I don't have much internal drive space left? Do I need an adapter?
Thanks

Is there a way to use Photoshop's field blur, iris blur or tilt shift blur straight on AE?

I want to use photoshop's selective blur effects on several footage. I know I might import the footage on Photoshop and just apply the effect on the video sequence, but this workflow is rather incomfortable for a whole bunch of clips.
Is there a way to use either those filters or reproduce their behavior straight on AE?

You can pretty much recreate all of them using effects like Compound Blur or Camera lens Blur wit ha custom matte and you can expand this further by getting a plug-in suite like REvisionFX' SmoothKit where you have even more sophisticated adaptive blurs.

Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?

Hello,
I want to create a document with cascading 'popups'. Not the built-in text-only popup, but an annotation containing an appearance stream that defines text and images. I'm currently using widget annotations based on a pushbutton field.
Each page in my document has many citations that refer to other pages in the document. When a user hovers over the citation, I want a 'popup' to appear containing a depiction of the destination. However, as the destination will itself have citations, I also want the 'popup' to contain citations that the user can hover over, triggering another popup, etc. In this way, a user could navigate throughout the document without leaving the page or even clicking the mouse.
Obviously, with even a modest number of citations per page, pre-calculating and statically defining all of these widgets causes a combinatorial explosion, making the document sluggish and very large.
Instead, I'd like to statically define appearance streams once per document, and then dynamically create annotations and assign the appropriate appearance stream using JS as the user navigates.
So far I've created a named AP in the names dictionary, but I haven't been able to use it to dynamically set an appearance stream of a dynamically created widget annotation.
Also, I've called Doc.getIcon(), passing in the named AP, which returns an Icon object. However, after field.buttonSetIcon() and passing in the named AP, the button does not display the icon.
Is there a way to use a statically defined appearance stream in a dynamically created annotation?
Thank you,
Dave

Hi George, I've gotten named APs to work, and I expect hidden buttons will follow. Thank you very much!
Quick follow-up - I will have many documents embedded within the same pdf file, and some of these documents will contain identical popups. However, I don't want to store identical icons in each document on account of file size.
Instead, I'd like to store one instance of each icon for all documents in the file.
Can I store all of the icons in a single document, and then access them by calling <DocName>.getField().getIcon() from any document in the file?
Thank you again,
Dave

Is there a way to use iPhoto and *not* have it import photos?

Hi there,
I'm transitioning from a PC to a Mac and everything is going fairly well -- overall a better user experience. One question I have is, is there a way to use iPhoto without having it import photos? My main issue is that currently iPhoto imports all the photos that I want to view/edit in iPhoto and copies them to it's own folder structure. I like to manage my pictures in a folder structure that I define, so I already back up my photos to another location and now I'm finding that iPhoto is just duplicating the pictures that I already have where I want them, sucking up precious space on my SSD.
So is there a way for me to just point iPhoto to a folder, make my edits on those photos, and have iPhoto automatically save those changes to the original folder I pointed it to, instead of duplicating the photos in it's own folder structure?
It occasional things like this that makes me miss some Windows features. In this case, I miss Windows Photo Gallery.

Hm, ok so if I edit my photos (adjust brightness etc) in iPhoto and then export it, does it export with the brightness changed, or does it just export the original?
It exports whichever you choose - the edited version or the original.
However, am I the only one with trust issues with importing all my photos into iPhoto? I'm scared the library will get corrupted, etc.
NO you're not the only one. The protection against any data corruption is a good back up, and you need that for any data on any computer running any OS. But in the case of iPhoto, remember too that the original files are stored exactly as they are imported, in folders, in the filing system.
that when I go to export the photos, there's a LOT of duplicate file names that the export chokes on, which makes it very tedious, no, painful, for me to export a large number of photos.
Explore the options under File Name when you export from iPhoto using the File -> Export command

Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH?

Is there a way to use PM4.0 with Windows XPH without purchasing the latest suite or upgrades? I origionally purchased a suite with Pagemaker, Photostyler and Freehand just before Aldus went Adobe, and Win3.1 went Win95, then WinME and WinXP. I miss PM and have several manyscripts saved on PM4.0 and can not export or import them to any current wordprocessing programs. I was very far into one manuscript and am now in a position to finish it up but don't want to have to purchase a whole suite in order to do so. Any suggestions for this old tightwad?

Shouldn't that be Win3.0 c.1991? And with a very early of version ATM (Ver 2?) if you want to do anything with fonts?
I think I have a WinME PC in the garage, which if you can re-format with DOS 5 and install Win3 instead (I may have the disks in the garage too), PM4 will positively scream along.
I reckon it's non starter on a modern WinXP PC, as the OS is so different, but if you're willing to experiment, you never know!
But if you want to open some old files to extract the text, you can open the PM4 files and save them with a d/l'ed trial copy of PM7, which will be OK on WinXP

Is there a way to use two macs to run one app? I want to use my two macbook pros processors in a shared capacity.

I have two macbook pros a 2.4ghz and a 2.2ghz. Is there a way to use the other macbook pro to help with any cpu intensive apps like audio and video apps. I haven't had much luck on finding anything about sharing resources. It would be awesome if you could link up two macs and use both of them to power through processor intensive tasks.

Yep here you go.

Is there a way to use iCloud Photo Library WITHOUT syncing?

The idea I had of iCloud Photo Library was that I could upload my pictures to it and access them from all my devices WITHOUT having to sync them.
At the end of every month, I move all the photos from my phone to my computer. It helps me save space and keep things tidy. With iCloud Library, I want to access all my photos, but it looks like I must sync them through iCloud, and then to save space in my phone, I have to select "optimise space for iPhone". Is there any way to use iCloud Photo Library as a mere cloud storage? I don't want to keep photos on my phone, neither full resolution or "optimised" ones. I want to put them on iCloud, and when I need them, then I want my phone to download them.
I realise I could use other cloud storage providers for this, but I have always liked Apple's integration with their own services, so if possible, I would like to use iCloud Photo Library without syncing to my devices. Just keep my stuff in iCloud, and when I tap it, download it.
