Using my iPad 2 to connect to my iMac Camera?

I was wondering if there was a way I could access the built-in camera on my iMac at home using my iPad 2 at a remote location? I know there is Facetime but that requires a party to be located on each end. I want to be able to access the camera on the iMac at home when no one is there. Any suggestions on what it would take to do this?
Thanks in advance!

You're right, FaceTime won't do what you want. You would need a remote app such as LogMeIn Ignition to accomplish this. Basically you would be remote controlling your iMac from your iPad. This would allow you to activate the camera via PhotoBooth or iChat or any other app on your computer that can access the camera.

Has anyone ever used their iPad to remotely connect to a iMac and use programs like Photoshop on their iPad?

Hi everyone,
I had an iMac at home, but I've recently taken on some freelance work and they would like me to come into the office every now and then. I don't want to purchase a laptop and I know you can remotely connect to your desktop with an iPad, but I need to know if anyone has ever done that and successfully used programs like Photoshop on their iPad. Is there lag time when trying to use the software? Or is it just not possible and I should consider getting a laptop again?
Thank you!

iPads are not exact laptop replacements. If you need to be using Photoshop, then buy a normal laptop computer.
Using a remote access app on an IPad or any tablet conputer to remote access your computer to operate will be quite a lot slower and clumsier than just having a laptop with a normal OS and Photoshop application installed.

HT1438 I would like to use my Ipad mini to connect to a project can this be done?

I would like to use my ipad mini to connect to a projector can this be done?

Depends on the projector.
You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

My iPad Air, 32 gb will not start up. It had 97% battery charge,last time I used it. I tried connecting to my iMac but iTunes said I needed to add my password to my iPad Air, which I can't do since the iPad. Air won't start up. The iPad air is one week old. Bummer, eh?

I have a Panasonic camcorder PV-GS65 and I used to be able to connect to my iMac and my machine would automatically recognize the camera, rewind the tape, and start the import process as soon as I turned the device on and it was connected. not anymore

I have a Panasonic camcorder PV-GS65 and I used to be able to connect to my iMac and my machine would automatically recognize the camera, rewind the tape, and start the import process as soon as I turned the device on and it was connected. Now my iMac does not even see my device
Any suggestions?

You cannot install the apps on the car.
The cars head unit is merely acting as an interface to the apps on the device.
If you want to use those apps in the car, plug the device in and leave it plugged in.

Can I use my iPad as a monitor for my iMac?

I have an '06 model iMac running OS Lion. Recently the screen gave up and it is difficult to see pictures. I took it to the apple store and had it tested. The good news is it is just the display, not the video card. The bad news is I don't have another monitor I can use at this time. I was wondering if there is a way I can use my iPad 3 to take the place of a monitor. I want to mirror the image I see on the screen to the iPad. I wouldn't mind if it were done while connected to the iMac as I prefer using the keyboard as opposed to the touch screen. I just need a make shift monitor until I get a new mac (soon I hope).

Yes, there are a couple of apps that can do this. Read the reviews carefully, because none are perfect. Here's a writeup on one of them:

Can I use my IPad as a backup for my IMac instead of an external hard drive?

I'm wondering if I can use my iPad as a backup for my iPad instead of an external hard drive?

As your question says backup for your iMac I assume that is what you mean, as opposed to what is in the text. The iPad doesn't have a disk mode, and you can only copy onto it content that is supported by the apps that you've got. So personally I'd say no - external hard drives are easier to use as a backup and are a lot cheaper

Use my iPad like Wacom Cintiq attached to iMac?

Is there any way I can use my iPad like Wacom Cintiq and have it attached to an iMac?
Can't afford a Cintiq to draw on-- but I am wondering if I can accomplish basically the same thing by somehow attaching it to my iMac. Draw visually on the iPad -- using photoshop and/or apps resident on the iMac, etc...
Would be fantastic if possible...
All thoughts appreciated.
kind regards

¿can i use new ipad's 3G connectivity in Spain with an ipad bought in EEUU?

I'm from Spain. My parents will buy me an new ipad in EEUU, and i want to know if they will can buy it without AT&T or Verizon as carrier. i want to use a spanish carrier but i don't know if it will work with an ipad bought in EEUU.
Thanks!

The US iPad Wifi + 3G bought from Apple or ATT is NOT network locked.
Stay clear of Verizon however as these have CDMA and not GSM radio.
(Effectively if you were to buy one from them you would simply have an overpriced WIFI model internationally)
There are just a very few places where the iPad is being network locked and that includes surprisingly the very competitive UK mobile services.
Specifically Orange (UK) is one - They block there subsidised iPad offerings for a minimum of three months then charge £20 for un-blocking !

Bluetooth in iPad is not connecting with even iMac

Bluetooth in iPad is not discoverable with any device

What devices are you trying to connect to it. the iPad has limited BT profiles.
It won't pair with computers or other cell phones outside of Internet sharing.
No file transfer over bluetooth either if that's what you are trying to accomplish.

My iPad can't connect with my iMac to access Internet, although it identifies the network wi-fi

I activate the internet connection share on my iMac through airport. Mi iPad detect my wi-fi network created by the Internet share, but don't succeed to connect to it.. why

Two things that you can try.... Update the iOS if you are still running 7.0.4. Or, reboot your router. It really can help at times even if every other device in the house is connecting. Unplug it for about 30 seconds to reset it and then plug it back in again. I would also reset the iPad if you reset the router.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the cameras WIFI. Since I installed IOS7 the connection no longer works. Anyone got any ideas. I have already installed the latest version of Panasonic's Image App (1.7.1)

I used to send photos from my Lumix Tz-40 camera directly to my iPad using the camera's WIFI. It was all working well until I installed IOS7. The connection no longer works. The camera still keeps the iPad in its connection history. The camera's wifi network still appears when I select a WiFi network from the iPad but the Wifi status icon never appears on the iPad. So the connection is never made.
Anyone got any ideas. I have already installed the latest version of Panasonic's Image App (1.7.1)

Hi there,
You're running an old version of Safari. Before troubleshooting, try updating it to the latest version: 6.0. You can do this by clicking the Apple logo in the top left, then clicking Software update.
You can also update to the latest version of OS X, 10.8 Mountain Lion, from the Mac App Store for $19.99, which will automatically install Safari 6 as well, but this isn't essential, only reccomended.
Thanks, let me know if the update helps,
Nathan
