Screensharing Macmini using iPad2

I have a Macmini which is not connected to a monitor or TV. Among it's many uses is that I use it to stream movies to my iPad or PS3 using Air Video and Media Link respectively. If I want to do anything on my mini other than streaming etc I tend to screenshare using Logmein on my iPad.
This worked brilliantly when my mini was connected to my TV but now that it's not, and I've gone down the streaming route, I am having issues with screensharing resolution.
My preferred resolution is 1280x1040 but when I restart my mini the resolution tends to default to 1024x768 when using Logmein. Not only does this obscure some of my menu bar icons but when I change the resolution back to 1280x1040 the menu bar remains at the 1024 size, so it looks like a chunk at the top right corner is missing.
I never had this issue when a monitor was connected, so clearly it is a video issue of some sort.
Is there another VNC app I could try instead or a way in which I can force the screen resolution and menu bar to stay at 1280 x1040 when using Logmein?
Thanks.

You may have to get a device to spoof the EDID of your TV.

Can I use Ipad2 3G in Turkey with Turkish gsm?

If you have a GSM iPad 3G and you can find a Turkish carrier that offers an iPad data plan, you should have no problems.

How do I attach a photo in my private message in Facebook using iPad2?

How do I attach a photo to my private messge in Facebook using iPad2? I tried to tap the clip but it didn't respond.

The actual Facebook app does not offer this facility. There are other facebook apps you can check out in the App Store, some of which I've read do offer this, but I don't post enough photo's to facebook to have personally checked any of them out myself.

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it displays OLD photo instead.

Using iPad2, when receive photo in e-mail it now displays OLD photo that had been received and saved instead. Why and how to rectify?

This problem only applies when attempting to receive photos that were sent in special format from iPhoto. No problem receiving photos sent as attachment to normal e-mail.

How to remove YouTube videos using ipad2?

I can't figure out how to remove videos from YouTube using ipad2? Is there any way?

I'm sorry, but there is not. You just have to access your account online. From there, go to "Your Videos" then check mark each video you would like to remove, then select "Delete" to remove. Hope this helps!

I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere.

I'm using ipad2 with ios5. My outbox won't send mail. I guess i need an outgoing server and can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get it to send. I have tried everything, rebooting, ensuring passwords are correct, etc.

My problem is i don't have an outgoing server spot on my menu. These are my selections. After getting to the menu that where i enter my password for hotmail, i have the following menu choices: Email, then server (bay-m.hotmail.com, then domain (empty), then username, then password, thendescription, then Use SSL, then S/MIME
I don't see or can find an outgoing server choice. My daughter has an ipad2 using Ios4 and she has all the choices that are illustrated on. All the help sites. I only have the ones listed above.

You are following the instructions on this page for creating a new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 e.g. selecting a free app in the store and tapping on 'create Apple id' when 'buying' the app ? I've just tried it and it works for me

If you live in a country where the feature is not available, you will not be able to rent movies. Not all iTunez content is available worldwide.
You can see what is available where you live here.

Did you already ask this question earlier today and were you not told this already? Your screen name looks familiar and so does the question.

I have used Firefox since Firefox 0.7 or 0.9 but may have been 0.5. Seems like it was called something else but my memory is not that great.
Before that I used Seamonkey and other variations of Mozilla. Before that I used Netscape. I even have/had a CD that I sent off for with the different releases going all the way back to the beginning (I think).
I was a Mozilla crusader. When I saw someone using IE I would talk to them like they must be dumb until they switched haha. I have converted everyone who is close to me to firefox except my wife and I think she uses IE to irritate me.
I work on the Internet. I spend no less than 12 hours and up to 18 hours a day with my fingers touching a keyboard that is connected to a computer or phone that is interacting with the Internet. I have Firefox on my Android phone, two laptops and my desktop. All of them crash constantly.
When it crashes I lose work and time. Not to mention getting big headaches.
I am very appreciative for the browser and yes I have made money donations. Not saying that makes me good. I look at it more like I am paying for great software.
I never thought the day would come that I would say no more to Firefox. The day has come.
When Firefox first came out it was small, good and fast. As time has went on it has become big, bad and slow. I feel like I am turning my back on a good friend but i can't take the crashing any longer.
I am using Chrome now. Dang I hate to use anything google. Since I can't make my own browser I have to use what's out there and Chrome is fast. Sort of like Firefox used to be... except of course Chrome has all those phone home goodies.
I won't be trying to convert anyone to Chrome but neither will I try to convert them to Firefox.
I am not trying to start a flame war or anything here. As nuts as it sounds I felt like I should tell Firefox bye.
Bye bye Firefox. it was good knowing you

Is that posible use ipad2 10w charger to charge iphone 4?

i have an ipad2 , can i use ipad2 charger to charge my iphone 4?

Thom_D wrote:
It can also damage the Kindle charger. The iPad pulls 10 watts because of its battery size. This pulls a lot of amps through the charger itself and if it is not designed to run at 10 watts it will get very hot. And if you leave it plugged in for long enough to charge your iPad the heat can damage the circuits in the charger and (worst case here) you could potentially start a fire.
That's incorrect. The iPad does not "pull 10 watts" and it does not "pull a lot of amps." It will not overheat and no damage and no fire will occur.
Quite simply, the Kindle charger is physically incapable of delivering the two amps that the iPad battery needs for charging.

I am currently using ipad2 (only wifi) and... having lots of difficulites accessing to Internet.
I was wondering if Pantech 4G LTE USB modem would work.
Or it there is another way I could get access to Internet freely? ;-l
Please.. hepl me out!
Thank you ~

The iPad does not have necessary drivers for the Pantech modem, even if you could connect it.
If you already have the Pantech modem, you might be able to use it with a CradlePoint WiFi router such as the MBR900. That would make the router into a WiFi hotspot. Check the CradlePoint website to be sure that model modem is compatible.
Another possibility is a WiFi hotspot called a "MiFi" that uses the same system as the Pantech modem. I understand there are both battery powered and plug-in versions available. Check with your cellular provider for details.

Using ipad2 in Europe?

will be traveling from US to Europe (France, Italy). What do I need to know to use ipad2? Thanks.

1. To charge it, you only need a plug adaptor to fit the outlets in Europe. iPad operates from 110 to 220 without a voltage regulator
2. If you have Wifi only, it will work in Europe just like it does in the US
3. If you have 3G, you need to have the GSM (AT&T) version as just about all of Europe is GSM, not CDMA (Verizon). Assuming you have the GSM version, you can purchase prepaid micro sims cards from a carrier in Europe to access 3G data, but from what I've read, some carriers in Europe require you to have a credit card in that country.

FYI - I just did a full wipe out and set up as new device, and the problem got solved.... But obviously it was a pain in the butt to download all the purchased apps back... This seems to be the only way to go about it... :(
