Using the ipad for coding while travelling (mobile NAS?)

Hi there,
I am aware this sounds a bit cooky; getting a Macbook air is certainly easier, but:
I am looking for input from other people who are using their iPad for coding.
Apps like textastic require internet(/server) access, however sometimes that's neither available nor preferable, e.g. when travelling in foreign countries.
For building lightweight php sites or small CMS based sites, it would be perfect to have some sort of mobile localhost access,
or at least something that doesn't require internet.
Wouldn't it be possible to run a webserver from let's say, a small wireless HDD/NAS?
Don't know any really small options. Any reccomendations?
Another way would be to install lighthttpd via cydia I suppose, but can textastic even access this then?
Any other ideas I am missing?
thx folks!
Phil

    the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

  • HT5622 Why do I have to reset my apple ID when I dont use the ipad for a while

    Hi,
    I do not use my ipad everyday, and when I have left it 2/3 days I get a message to Reset my apple ID. Which means I have to keep making up a new password, does anyone know what I have to do to securely keep a password, instead of keep losing it. Thankyou.

    An Apple ID is associated with an icloud account and/or an itunes account.  Which of these do you mean?
    By reset, do you mean having to re-enter the password or do you have to change it?  If this is on an iOS device, I suspect you need to sign out of your account and back in.   (Did you recently change your ID's password?  That would cause your problem.)
    For example, for icloud:  Go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  Then log in again using the right password.

  • Hi, we are a small clinic that uses the iPads for therapy. If we purchase an app for one iPad, can all of them download the same app at no additional cost?

    Allan was somewhat incomplete in his statement. While technically it would be possible, from a licensing standpoint you need one license for each iPad unless those iPads were all going to be used by the same person (which I think unlikely given your described use). Here are the relevant terms of the iTunes Store agreement (emphasis mine):
    "(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download and sync an App Store Product for use by either (a) a single individual on one or more iOS Devices used by that individual that you own or control or (b) multiple individuals, on a single shared iOS Device you own or control. For example, a single employee may use an App Store Product on both the employee's iPhone and iPad, or multiple students may serially use an App Store Product on a single iPad located at a resource center or library. For the sake of clarity, each iOS Device used serially by multiple users requires a separate license."
    So you would legally need to purchase one copy of the app for each iPad, something which would require an iTunes Store account for each iPad. For normal purchases, each iTunes Store account would need an associated credit card or prepaid iTunes card.
    The Volume Purchase Plan works similarly - you still need one license and one iTunes Store account for each iPad - but the purchasing is centralized so you don't get billed multiple times. You get one recemption code for each license you purchase. See:

  • He "seller" resets the iPad for me to use, do I have to get it re-activated or purchase a contract/service plan if I ONLY ever plan to use the iPad for Wifi Only???

    Question to all the pros..I'm looking to purchase an iPad 4g second hand. Once the "seller" resets the iPad for me to use, do I have to get it re-activated or purchase a contract/service plan if I ONLY ever plan to use the iPad for Wifi Only???

    No you don't need a service plan to use wifi. Take special precautions to make sure the seller is the owner. Be sure all their information has been removed properly. If it were me I wouldn't give the person the money until the iPad is registered in my name. I've read too many horror stories of people buying iPads they'll never be able to use because someone else's ID was still on it.

  • I am trying to decide what gig i need. I want to use the Ipad for my books for college.

    I need to know what gig to get... I want to use the ipad for my college textbooks to take them to class on it. How many etextbooks would the ipad hold?

    Caveat to the above: books that have a lot of pictures or graphics can be quite large; many megabytes. If you can find out from your college program what books you'll need, check to see if 1) they're available; many textbook publishers have yet to provide textbooks as e-books and 2) if they are available (from one of the e-book providers; you can use Kindle, Nook and Google books on your iPad in addition to Apple's iBooks) how large they are. Then you can add the sizes up, figure out what else you might want on your iPad (movies, for instance, take up a lot of space) and determine what capacity you'll need. When it doubt, buy more capacity than you think you'll need; an iPad can't be expanded later if you run short.
    Regards.

  • Can anyone tell me how to scan documents to the icloud, so they will be on the ipad.  My husband is planning on using the ipad for work.

    Can anyone tell me how to scan documents to the icloud, so they will be on the ipad?  My husband is planning on using his ipad for business.  I haven't been able to even find anywhere that I could read about scanning documents.

    If you scanned the documents - what format did you save them in - pdf? If so, Pages will not open pdf files. you can save a file and export it as a pdf from Pages - but not the other way around.
    If you need simply view the documents - you can send them to the iPad via email or DropBox and them open and save them in iBooks. or Adobe Reader. both apps are free. Adobe Reader can use file sharing in iTunes to transfer the files.
    If you need to annotate the files - you will need an app like Goodreader - which can use file sharing from iTunes in order to transfer the files as well. GoodReader may work with iCloud now, but you will have to check that out in the App Store.
    You can read this to see how to use file sharing. It really is pretty easy to use. You do need to do this with your computer.

  • Why can't I hear sound from my keynote presentation while using Apple TV?  Presentation is in 5 days and this is my first time using the iPad for presentation.

    I am new to apple. But a quick convert since I just went out and got the iPhone as well.

    I made a mini movie in iMovie trailer and have it in my presentation. Everything mirrors perfectly except the sound on the audio. So I can see the movie just can't hear it.

  • When I am using the browser for a while and try to use ANY search bar and hit the "search" button it does a whopping NOTHING is there anyway of keeping this from happening?

    Whenever I am using Firefox mobile - either regular, beta or aurora and go to search for something like through the Google search page and attempt to search for something the search bar does nothing and hitting the enter button instead doesn't do anything either. Is there a way to keep this from happening?

    Hi and thanks to not leaving the firefox user alone.
    Cor-el your answer is right as the madperson is and I already knew all these
    answer and I said that before I don’t use any antivirus and I always turn off my firewall from the moment I installed my Windows.
    I even turn off any automatic update for any of my software and I never let any unknown plugins or any thing like that be install without informing me. And if you know some things like Offline Storage and cookies must be to much more than usual and you have to clear them and delete them and I know so much more
    And if you want to know it fixed now. But I don’t know how?
    For understanding my problem read and research about Ixplorer.exe virus it is the same problem about the speed but the different is it doesn’t show any process in task manager like Ixplorer.exe virus
    Bt I have done some things but still I don’t know that’s why it is fixed or not
    First: I searched my system and removed any files have been crated on my system from two days ago since the problem happened.
    And then I used to go about the article in this page and did like this:
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080910101846AAazxN5
    but still I don’t know any thing about the problem.
    I can do so many things to fix but I am just curios if that is a virus why it just cut the speed when I am using the browser.
    Please if any one found the reason send me your information I like to know it will improve my knowledge however my problem is solved fro now.

  • HT1222 my Ipad touch screen is not responding so i can not use the ipad for anything.

    i left my ipad in my car after ten minutes return to use ipad but could not log on because the touch screen is not responding. i try updating but to no avail
    pls somebody should tell me what to do before i lose my mind because its really frustrating

    Did you try rebooting?
    Reboot 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • Can I use the iPad to create video of notetaking with audio?

    I'm looking to use iBook Author to create some units of study for my students.  I want to create a video that is just of my notes (not of my hand writing the notes) and an audio of me explaining what I'm doing while I'm writing the notes.  Is there a way to use the iPad for this, or is there a program or an app that I could use for this?  I also have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone in addition to my iPad.
    Edited to add: What I'm thinking of is somewhat like the Khan Academy uses to teach students in their videos.  It's just their writing with audio, but it's not a video of them writing, which makes me think that there's some app or software they're using to show the notetaking that records audio and turns it into a video.

    Screenchomp is a good app that we use at a school for this - its owned by Techsmith, the same company that owns Jing and Camtasia, two leaders in the market. Two other options to look at (which I preferred to Screenchomp) are ShowMe and Educreations.
    If you're just looking at a co Peter based solution for the MacBook,mid recommend screencast-o-matic.

  • I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?

    I've been using my cell phone number to imessage from my ipad for a while now, but yesterday I got signed out of I message and when I signed back in, I didn't get the option to use my number, only my email adress. How can I fix that?

    Hey bill.rizzo2,
    Thanks for the question. I understand your phone number is missing on your iPad as an option for iMessage. The following article provides steps to resolve this issue:
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number isn't listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    1. Update to the latest version of iOS.
    2. Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    3. On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number still isn't listed, follow these steps:
    1. Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
        - Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
        - Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    2. Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    3. When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and Settings > FaceTime.
    4. Sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I love my music, would love a iPod for this reason but the iPad air sounds really good too. Can i use the iPad air like a iPod for travel (in car).

    I love music when I travel, I still have a older mp3 player that I can plug in the car stereo. I listen to various artists, a variety of music. Love to make a big play list for a long road trip.
    I'm in the market for a Ipod touch or a ipad air, would I be able to do the same with the Ipod verses Ipad air.
    I would use the WiFi for connection. 
    Compare for me the differences.
    Remember i would want to use it when im out traveling on the road for music.

    The wifi-only iPad is basically large iPod touch. There are some aps that are for the iPad only.
    The new devices a a Lightning cable vice the older 30-pin connector.
    One of these adopters/cables may work:
