Using iPad as an extended display - using docking cable instead of wireless

I know that there are a few products that will let me extend the display of my Mac or PC to the iPad via wireless. While I haven't tried any of these products, I assume that they require my iPad and computer to be on the same network. This might be a problem if I connect to my corporate VPN from my Mac.
Is there an application that lets me extend the desktop of my Mac or PC to my iPad without dependency on wireless i.e using the docking cable?
thanks!

I have this exact same question. I wonder if this reply will bump it up?

  • Headphone jack broken, using dock connector instead?

    So after dropping my iPod the other day the headphone jack is acting a little funky, I have to twist and fiddle with the headphones a little bit to get the sound to play in both ears nicely (It's not the headphones as I've tried with several pairs).
    Since my warranty has expired I was hoping to use a dock connector I believe its called then connected to my headphones.
    My questions are
    1) Will this avoid the sound issue I'm having since I ASSUME it's an issue with just the headphone jack.
    2)I'm looking at these two products

    http://www.yourusbcable.com/product/Ipod%20Dock%20Connector
    which will then need another thing to connect to my headphones, can anyone think of a better way of or product for doing this?

    I am also having problems with my headphone jack. if i can get best buy to validate my 2 yr warranty i can exchange, but in the meantime i ordered some bluetooth headphones. i bought these: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/595037-REG/SonyDRBT100CX_BLU_DR_BT100CX_Bluetooth_WirelessStereo.html

  • Using my Macbook Pro as an 'extended display' (2ndary monitor) to my G5

    My G5 tower looks like it has two DVI connections: one is (30+5) pins and the other is (24+5) pins.
    I have a simple ViewSonic monitor connected to this G5 using the (24+5) pins.
    I am trying to use my new Macbook Pro as a secondary monitor (extended display to the G5 cpu).
    How do I connect the (30+5) pin output from the G5 tower to the (24+5) pin monitor connection on my MacBook Pro? And will this even work? Has anyone tried this?
    Thnks

    Correct. I'm not aware of any laptop that has been designed with a DVI or VGA input to allow use of the laptop's display as a monitor for another computer.
    (I know someone else will bring this up, so I'll include the info here, but I don't recommend the following solution at all)
    The expensive and relatively low-quality (picture-wise) way to work around this would be to buy a FireWire or USB video digitizer and run your desktop's video (as an S-video signal) to the video digitizer, and use your laptop to receive and display the image.

  • TS3977 Issue with extended display using Displaylink USB to DVI since upgrading to Mavericks.

    I have an issue now since upgrading to Mavericks with my extended display monitor using a displaylink DVI to USB adapter. After awhile, the monitor goes blank. I can unplug the connection from the USB port and plug it back in and the display comes back, only to go out again a short time later.
    It worked fine for months prior to the upgrade.
    Apple say it's Dispalylink's problem and Displaylink says it's Apple's problem. Anyone else having this or a similar isssue?

    Someone opened a bug report with Apple in another thread - about a different product that used DisplayLink drivers, and Apple blamed the vendor.
    I have many issues too. Crashing Window Manager, and once it crashed my Mac.
    I also have many issues... one is corrupt display. The icons are missing in the menubar on my laptop, and squished together on my external monitor:
    They are there if I mouse over, but invisible.
    I can't click on the squished ones, they are to close.

  • Presentation Director shows slideshow on LCD although using extended display

    Hi,
    I'm using Presentation Directory and set a scheme to have an extended display.
    When using PowerPoint's slideshow it is shown on the main LCD and I'm unable to show it on the extended display. I've tried several steps e.g. first move the presentation to the extnded and then slideshow but nothing helped.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Beery

    clone is the replication of the same thing, so basically your two screen displays exactly the same image. What you see on your laptop LCD is what is seen on the second display.

    It won't make any difference.

  • Using an extended display with a Mac Book Pro

    I have a new Mac Book Pro, which I am using with a larger monitor as an extended display. I would like to have the larger monitor be the main display instead of the laptop. But, I can't figure out how to do that. Does anyone know how to do this or if it can even be done at all.

    KGS 75,
    Open System Preferences>Displays. When you have an external display connected, you will have an extra pane showing a graphic representation of the display geometry. To change the geomoetry, drag the icon for the external monitor to your desired position (above, below, right, left).
    Your "main" display is determined by where the menu bar is located. The menu bar is also represented in the geometry pane, shown at the top of one of the display icons. Simply drag this icon from one display to another.

  • Can I use the same adapter for my ipad mini w/ retina display as I use for my iphone 4S?

    I have an iPad mini with retina display and an iPhone 4S.  Have both the small and large adapters (5W and 12W I believe) that came with the two products.  I am traveling abroad and want to know if I can just use the smaller adapter (little cube-shaped one, 5W) for both the ipad and the iphone.  OR, can I forgo taking the Apple adapters that were supplied, and instead use one of the travel adapters that has two 2.1-Amp USB ports?

    You can use the 5W to charge the iPhone, but if it charges the iPad Mini Retina, it will be slow, so you would have to turn it off and let it sit forever to get charged.  If you were going to take just one, take the 12 W on as you can use it to charge both devices without issue.
    I would recommend getting the Apple travel adapters if you are going abroad.  The 12W adapter should have a duck head you can pop off and put the international adaptation on there. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit

  • Using mission control/spaces on extended displays

    Is there a way to assign spaces and use mission control on an extended display (i.e. LCD TV) on 10.7.1?  I have connected an LCD TV as an external display to my MBP. When switching spaces on my MBP (primary) display, the external monitor transitions as well.  I have been unsuccessful utilizing multiple spaces strictly on my external display or having a static dispaly when switching spaces.  I would like to be able to switch spaces independently on each display or make a static desktop on my extended display.  Thanks

    When I'm working with any other apps on my system, I can take advantage of Mission Control, but have forego these advantages when using the Creative Suite. Isn't it really about time that Adobe put some effort into supporting these OS-level features. Whether you favour Mac OS or Windows, you should be able to take advantages of the system you prefer to work on.
    Is there any word on whether CS6 will support these features? (I'm not exactly holding my breath).
    There is no word on anything about InDesign CS6 yet. (Those who know can't say, and I'm not aware of any substantive leaked information.)
    I think that Spaces/Mission Control support is probably predicated on the Carbon to Cocoa conversion. So until InDesign is a Cocoa app, this is unlikely to improve. Personally I manage to avoid using Spaces to any significant degree, so I don't really notice these things. Have you tried Photoshop, which is a Cocoa app? Does it behave better?
    I don't know to what extent these issues are specific to the app, or all tied up in libraries that are common to all the Adobe apps.

  • Can i use my airport utility on my ipad 2 to extend my extreme network with an express?

    can I use my ipad 2 to extend my extreme network with an express

    Yes, you can.....assuming you are asking about an 802.11ac AirPort Extreme and a new AirPort Express or the previous version model A1264.
    But, the Express will not extend the "ac" signal from the AirPort Extreme, since it has no "ac" capability. It will only extend the normal "b/g/n" wireless signal.
    That is going to create quite a slow down on the entire "b/g/n" network if you are planning to have the Express connect using wireless. It would be much better if you could connect the Express using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection back to the AirPort Extreme.

  • Restrict resizing while using Docking Container

    All,
    How can we restrict the resizing the docking container with class GL_CUI_DOCKING_CONTAINER. Currently it is displaying in full screen. but donot want user to resize the SCREEN.
    create object g_docking_container
        exporting
          repid     = g_repid
          dynnr     = '300'
          extension = 99999
          side      = cl_gui_docking_container=>dock_at_right.
    a®

    Hi,
    Don't know how to do this for docking container but you can use splitter container instead and remove the option for resizing it.
    r_split_container->set_row_sash( id    = 1
                                               type  = me->r_split_container->type_movable
                                               value = me->r_split_container->false ).

  • How can I transfer photos from an IPhone 5 to an IPad 2 using a cable.  I have tried using the lightning to firewire adapter with my current lead but this only seems to allow a download from the Ipad to the Iphone and not the other way around.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

  • Should I  be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless printer from my iPad 1?  My iPad can't find the printer.  Iveinstalled the Lexprint app on iPad and downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer. Still can't print from iPad.

    Should I be able to use a Lexmark Pro 205 wireless 3 in 1 printer with iPad 1?  I have installed the LexPrint app on iPad, downloaded the Lexmark Listener on desktop computer but still can't print from iPad. My iPad cannot find the printer.  But I can print from desktop without USB cable. I upgraded the system on my iPad sometime ago.  Suggestions??

    Here is the list of AirPrint printers, and you particular printer is not on it.  So that means you will need to use the Lexmark app, and print through your computer.
    There is a Lexmark guy that hangs around these forums who may chime in with a response as well.
