Want to make my Ipad 4 into a second monitor

I have an iPad 4 and a macbook pro and I want to connect them and make my ipad a second monitor. I know that I have to download an app but I want to make sure that I get the best/right one.
I also saw that I can connect my ipad to my computer and control my computer from my ipad, so if anyone has experience with either of these things let me know!

If you plan on using your iPad as a semi permanent second display when working at your Mac, if you plan to do this for long periods of time, make sure your iPad is plugged into power.
These remote display apps tend to be more of a drain on the iPad's battery. Especially so if the remote display app uses Bluetooth instead of over WiFi.
I like and use an app called Air Display.
For using your iPad as a remote client to run your Mac remotely, there are a few decent apps for thiis, but it depend so what you really want to do.
I wanted remote control of my Mac, locally, so I use a remote app called SplashTop remote.
If you need remote location control of your Mac, also, there are other apps for that like LogMeIn and Team Viewer to name a few.

How to use an iPad as a second monitor with Bluetooth?

I know there are several apps that will allow me to use my iPad as a second monitor over my wifi connection. But is there a way to us it over blue tooth or with a special cord?
Thanks!

I use a projector as a second monitor for a desk top. When the shutter is closed it is hard to minimize or exit a window. I would like to use my iPad as an additional second monitor so I can tell what I am doing.

Make iMac G4 into a Second screen & Harddis?

I´ve searched all over the internet, but can´t find that question.
Is this possible? Not only to drag and drop, etc but to be used as if it was a second screen.

You can use this clever program to make it pretend to be a second screen for another Mac.
http://www.screenrecycler.com/home.html
assuming the iMac G4 runs normally and can run a "VNC client" program. It works over a network connection using the VNC (screen sharing) protocol.
For the "drag and drop" part, over that same network connection, you can do File Sharing to access the iMac's hard drive from the other Mac.

Why won't Apple make 3G iPads into mobile use for calls and text?

All your iPhone, iPad mini and all other idevices are great, but if you want to win the competition with Apple vs Samsung, you better include what all mobile devices do not have, which is to simply NOT ABLE TO TURN OFF WHEN THE PHONE IS STOLEN. You can put passwords, install Find My IPhone, but wont do **** when the thief can just simply turn off the device from lock screen. With the new iOS 7 and new features of Find My iPhone, I suggest that you also include to ask for the apple ID and password when wanting to turn off the idevice and when the password is correct, the current location will be emailed to their account so they know when and where they have turned off their phone, if it was however a kidnapping or stolen, it will help police locate the device or person more faster, would you not agree this is a great feature to have. Anyone who buys an iPhone now already includes data plan for Internet anyways.
Hope this comes available for the releasing of the iOS 7 new update this coming summer.
Thank you,

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple. We have no way to know what and when Apple will do something. You'll have to wait for an announcement by Apple.
Send feedback/suggestions to Apple.

How do you print all the photos in your flagged file? I don't want to make these photos into a new event.

I want to order several photos. I have flagged them and there is no option to select all and order the prints. I don't want to create a new event with these photos, as I want them in their original event files.
How are multiple photos ordered/exported for printing?

Go to your Flagged Photos Smrt Album on the Left.
Command - a will select All
Then File -> New -> Album

How can I stop pages from wanting to make every document into an outline?

Every time I try to create a document in Pages, it insists in turning it into an outline. How do I type a staright document?

Have you tried starting from a different template?
As far as I can tell the Outline setting is contained in the document, so this should only happen if you are starting from a template that was saved with Show Document Outline selected.

I want to update my ipad into ios5 how can i backup my ipad apps and song?

please help me how can i backup my ipad apps and songs thank you...

To update to iOS 5.0.1 you need iTunes 10.5 on your computer. When you've got iTunes 10.5 installed then connect your iPad to it and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases - that will copy off your apps and iTunes bought music, films (not rentals if they were bought directly on the iPad), tv show, ibooks, but it won't copy off music bought from other stores or music copied from your own CDs (if they are no longer on your computer then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPad).
You should also backup the device (right-click the iPad 'device' and select 'back up'), and copy off any important documents, files, notes etc (e.g. by email, the file sharing section at the bottom of the Apps tab in iTunes, wifi, whatever the apps that you use support) - the update process should backup and restore the content but it's best to be safe.
If iTunes doesn't prompt you to update to iOS 5.0.1 on your iPad, then with your iPad connected to and selected on the left-hand side of it, then on the Summary tab on the right-hand side click the Check For Updates button.

Second Monitor and External Drive

Hi everyone, first..sorry in advance if this is in the wrong place but I felt like this covered two topics.
So I have an old ibook g4 thats just collecting dust in my closet and I thought to myself "why not put it to use" so my question is this; can I use it as an external drive and a second screen at the same time?
I already know that if I plug in a firewire cable to both my macbook and ibook and boot it hold (i dont remember what key) it will boot as an external drive and i found this; http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html
which looks like it will make my ibook into a second monitor, but how can i do those both at the same time.
All help is appreciated
Thanks!

Your old FW drive is FW 400. New Mac's come with FW 800 ports. You need an adapter from FW 800 to FW 400.
You will also need a Thunderbolt/Mini Displayport to HDMI adapter.
Both of these adapter should be available from your Local electronics store or online retailer, including Apple stores, Online and brick and mortar

Make a pic into a button

I am new to flash. I want to make a picture into a button to
link to a URL. How do I do this? please remember I am new so please
baby steps. I would've tried F1 but it just doesn't open.

Ok open flash. Select rectangle tool. Draw out a button at
the normal size you want it. Then select the free transform tool.
Select the button you drew. In the center of the button should be a
circle. Drag this circle to the left edge of the button. You should
only move it horizontally across so that its still in the center
but on the left edge. Now select the black arrow again. Select the
button again and right click it to convert to symbol. name it
whatever you want. For this example I named it box. Make sure Movie
Clip is selected. (I'll explain in a minute). Also, make sure the
registration point is the left center edge. Just like when you
selected the free transform tool. Click Ok. Now for the
explaination. You want to always use Movie Clips instead of button.
Well not always but most of the time. Because movie clips can be
used for more than just buttons. I won't get too detailed but when
this tutorial is finished you will see you can make a movieclip
respond like a button.
Now back to work! :)
Now select box and go to properties and give instance name
box.
Insert layer. Open actions panel and insert the following
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
box.onRollOver = function() {
var tw:Tween = new
Tween(this,"_xscale",mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut,100,300,3,true);
box.onRollOut = function() {
var tw:Tween = new
Tween(this,"_xscale",mx.transitions.easing.Elastic.easeOut,300,100,3,true);
Now test your movie
you can go to help and find out more about the transition
tween classes. You can replace "Elastic" with "Strong" for a
different effect. There are others you can use also. Like I
mentioned before just look up transition manager or tween classes
to view other options. You can have a lot of fun with actionscript.
I view it as jedi powers. The more you learn the better you
become.

How to use Macbook Pro 17" as a second monitor for iMac?

Thanks!

Your welcome, wish I had better news. You may want to look over Apple's FAQ on the subject (Target Display Mode) you can find it by clicking http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924

MBPR as Second Monitor?

I know its possible to use the iMac as a second monitor through target display mode....however is it possible to use my 2012 MBPR as the second monitor for my iMac? I'm trying to edit a video and could use the extra screen real estate.

Yes, but not in a normal way.
You cannot use a MacBook Pro as an external monitor in the same way as a normal external monitor, nor by Target Display Mode.
If you are desperate, you can install a utility like ScreenRecycler or AirDisplay (the version for Mac, not iPad) that makes a Mac into an external monitor using your local network. But this is much slower than a normal monitor connection. It may not be suitable for situations that require fast refresh.

Can I use my Pavilion HP7 as a second monitor for my workstation?

I have a HP Pavilion DV7 with Windows 7 ultimate installed. I want ot use the screen as a second monitor for my desktop workstation, which is where my fligh simulator is installed. (The desktop is a Lenovo and the graphic card allows for 2 HDMI screens)
Can I connect my HP laptop to the desktop machine in such a way as the laptop does nothing except provide a screen for the Lenovo? (If you've ever got serious about flight simulator you'll know how much you need two or even three screens!! )

Hi,
No you can't you can use other monitor as second monitor for your laptop BUT you can't use laptop monitor as second monitor for other machine.

Connecting iBook G3 as second monitor for iBook G4

I want to know if (and then how) I can connect my iBook G4 (running on OSX (10.4.5)) to an iBook G3, ultimately connecting the iBook G3 to a data projector, so that I can use presenter tools in PowerPoint.
iBook G4, iBook G3 Mac OS X (10.4.5) iBook G3 will be connected to the data projector
iMac G5; iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

If I understand what you want to do, you want to use another iBook as a second monitor. Is that correct? If so, there's no way to get video into the second iBook. There's only a video output. You can connect your iBook to another monitor now or to a video projector. The image on the second monitor would mirror the iBook's. Screen Spanning Doctor allows you to have the desktop span across two monitors. Be aware though that SPDr is a system hack and could void your warranty if you use it.

Use as second monitor

Can the Ipad be used as a second monitor. Attaching it to my powerbook for business presentations and production on the go.

Wow, the iDisplay seems pretty cool. However I would imagine that the iPad wouldn't make a very functional second display. I would just spring for a second monitor and set up a second display that way. Using the iPad as your second monitor is just going have lag time as it is all wireless. Also what use is having a multi-touch device when you're using it in a way that doesn't utilize its touch capacity.

Want to make my Ipad 4 into a second monitor
