Need app to connect iPad to NFS or SMB shares.

I just bought an iPad and love it but want to directly access a SAN on my home network using NFS or SMB. Is there an app that will allow me to do this with the iPad, or will the next iPad OS release have that capability built into it?
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Depending on what you want to access, you might try:
SMB Lite (free)
SMB Music
SMB Image
SMB Doc

Need Help with Connecting IPad to WiFI E2500 Router

Have set up Router OK. Created Flashdrive EZ
How do I connect my IPAD now to WiFi since there is no USB port on my Ipad??

Although Im not particularly familiar about the significance of Flashdrive EZ to your inquiry, the way to connect your Ipad to your wifi network can be accomplished without using a USB cable. Tap settings and turn on your WIFI. Select your E2500s SSID from the list. If you had set up a security password, type it when required.

No connection from XI3.0 to smb share after lost of connection

Hi Forum,
we got issues with XI 3.0 after disconnection of
a smb share.
The smb share is located on a UNIX machine with the opensource fileserver SAMBA 3.x running on it. After a disconnect of the WAN link to the UNIX maschine XI has to be restarted to reconnect to the smb share.
Question:
- Is this problem of XI?
- Could this be a problem of the SAMBA deamon?
- anything else?
This behavior isnt acceptable because we have do this manual . Are there any hints to solve this issue?
thx
Andre

What does it mean? The smb share is a permanent mount?! Do I have to configure this in XI?
thx
Andre

OS X client connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB

My OS X 10.6.7 clients are connecting to Windows 2003 Server SMB share. They open files and edit them. Strange thing is that in Windows 2003 Server Open Files the files opened are listed like this:
filename.tiff:AFP_Resource
and the user is unable to save the file to the same location.
Anyone else experienced the same problem?

Cannot connect to smb share - no error or time out, just keeps going

I searched the forum but could not find a solution.
We have a file server running on a Windows Server 2008. We have several MacBooks with snow leopard installed and the same config. Recently one stopped connecting to the shared drives. It does not provide any error. It just sits at the connecting dialog for as long as you leave it open with no progress. Does anyone know a solution to this? You can ping the file share box. It still works just fine on all other macs.

Try following the step I posted in:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2140745&tstart=0
And let me know if that helps.
If it doesn't try connecting via IP to your SMB share
Open Finder
Choose "Go" and connect to server
type sb://<ipaddress of the machine you are trying to get to/
And see if it comes up.

TS3681 When i try to install apps to my iPad it keeps telling me it needs iOS 6 but on iTunes it says it's up to date even connected to a wifi......help

When I try to install apps to my iPad it keeps telling me it needs iOS 6 but when connect to iTunes it says it's up to date even when connected to a wifi......how do I upgrade when it says it's up to date????

If you have the iPad 1 it cannot be updated beyond iOS 5.1.1 so you as as up-to-date as you can be.
Check with the app developer to see if there are older versions of these apps which run on iOS 5.

Why does the iPad need to be connected to a host computer to access the app store?

Is this normal operation?
I remember when I first purchased it that I needed to be connected to a host computer to even just turn it on. At that time I was advised to redo the sign-in and create a password operation and was then able to run the iPad independantly of a host computer.
Is there a way to download apps directly to the iPad without a host connection?

Well, then this thing has gotten into a mode that will not allow the app store connection unless it is connected to a host machine.
It will prompt me for the password, accept it, and then go into an endless loop of saying "Not logged in. Would you like to log in?"
If I enter an incorrect password (as a test) it will tell me "password is incorrect" - so that's not it.
Again, this reminds me of the mode this was in when I first got it and needed to be teathered to simply turn it on.
I'm only using the iTunes backup and restore method. I never learned how to simply clone the iPads HDD volume for absolute foolproof backup so I can not say that I'm able to clone my original HDD image back 100% identical to what it was when this was last working normally.
PS. Yes, the iPad is powered on. Yes, I have wi-fi access. Yes, I have power to my home. Yes, I'm sure. Yes, I've done this before and it used to work.

My ipad will not connect to App Store plus I can no longer get into my bingo app. Do I need to restore my ipad, and if so, if I back it up, will I still keep all my levels completed on my apps or will they start from the beginning?

Please help, I an unable to update any apps on my ipad through the App Store. It will not connect. Also, I am no longer able to log in to bingo bash app and my towers app will not connect either. If I restore my ipad will that fix the problem and if so, will my apps return to levels I am currently on? Ex. Level 346 in candy crush or will I have to start it all over? It worked fine until we left a week ago for vacation and would not work on hotel wifi. Did not work when we returned home.

It still could be cable or contacts in the iPod since different contacts/conductor are used for charging and data

Ipad mini remote app will connect to my itunes library and apple tv but won't display content from itunes library on the apple tv section of remote app

What I am trying to do is very simple, and I am sure I have done it before.
I have an Apple TV (2nd Gen) connected to Wifi Network (Airport Extreme 802.11n) I want to stream content from the itunes library on my macbook pro over the wifi network to the Apple TV. This works no problem, home sharing is set up and I can see the itunes library under 'Computer' on the Apple TV interface. I can use the Apple Remote to scroll through and play content from my itunes. Works no problem.
Now I want to use the remote app on my ipad mini to control the apple tv. Using up to date app (Version 3.01) Again, everything looks like it should work. I have turned on Home Sharing on the remote app settings. It works fine and both my itunes library and Apple TV show up on the interface. I can touch the itunes icon and control the itunes on my computer and play music and video on my computer screen.
Now when I touch the apple tv icon I can't see my itunes library content to play on the apple tv. I see the below image. If I tap on the icon in the bottom left it takes me back to the screen in the first image. What is the strangest thing is that I can control the apple tv using the gestures interface! This isn't what I want though and I want to be able to see the itunes library on the screen of the ipad and play it on the apple tv. You can see in the video on this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UvEpgcE9KCs). This is what I am trying to do and I just don't understand why I don't get the screen seen at 1:25 in the video. Instead I get the screen seen in the below image. Any ideas? I know that the remote app is connecting to the apple TV because I can control it using gestures, just strange I can't see the content on the ipad like in the attached video clip, instead I see the screen in the image below. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

OK, Problem solved. Software on Apple TV was VERY outdated. It had been sitting in the box for over a year and needed an update. Problem solved!

A Mac Mini s a computer you can use with the iPad.
YO do not need a computer fro backup since yo can backup to iCloud.
However, sometimes software glitches occur and require connecting the device to a compute to restore vi iTuunes.
You can control a computer via an iPod with an app like TeamViewer or LogMeIn. There are others too.
You can also use an iPad a a SECONDAY monitor for a computer. with other apps.
You need a dedicated monitor, keyboard and mouse to setup the Mini. You can use a PC USB mouse and keyboard.

Need to sync my ipad without deleting apps.

ok, so i've been put in chrage of updating my moms iPad. so i plugged it into her comp and ran iTunes, thinking it'd be easy. apparently not. it gave me the standard "this iPad can only be synced with one library" message, even though I'm signed into her account on her computer, which is authorized for her itunes account. the only thing I can think of, is maybe the iPad is synced to her old windows laptop, and now it doesnt want to sync with the mac one.
my dilemma is, I dont want to sync with the newer computer if it means that will delete the angry birds saves on the ipad, which my younger brother has spent probably weeks of his life building up. if i do that everyone will be livid. so, how do I fix? i'm about to update iTunes and see if its just a bug, but im wondering if that doesnt work, would I be able to reinstall iTunes on the old computer and set it up, so that the apps may update to that one, then see if there's a way to transfer an iTunes backup from one computer to the next?
*hates the iTunes sync cartel* if the above doesn't work, would there be any chance this could be fixed when iOS 5 comes out, assuming i refuse the 4.3.3 update now and wait? the iPad is on 4.2.1 at the moment, by the way.

In regards to iTunes content, an iPad can be synced with an iTunes on a single computer only and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer including syncing with an empty iTunes library, all iTunes content and photos transferred from another computer will be erased from the iPad first.
You can transfer her iTunes library from her old computer that was used to sync with her iPad to her new computer per the instructions included with this link.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
Or iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased from the iTunes store only.
First you need to authorize her new computer with her iTunes account with iTunes if this has not already been done. With the iPad connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of her iPad. Make sure all 3rd party apps on the iPad are now in her iTunes library on her new computer - namely this game everyone would be so distraught over if the game status were lost.
After this, create a backup for her iPad without syncing on the new computer. Right-click or Control-Click with a Mac on the iPad under Devices in the iTunes source list. At the menu window that appears, select Back Up.
Before the first sync, under the Apps tab for the iPad sync preferences with iTunes, make sure Sync Apps is selected and all apps below are selected.
