What is the best two way storage solution for the iPad Air?

Is there a way of connecting two way storage expansion to my iPad Air?
I would like to copy video and photo files to my iPad, edit them and then save back to the external device in their edited form.
Or, am I being a bit naive?

There is no external storage you can directly connect to natively both read and save files. Some drives, such as the Seagate solution Alfred mentioned below, have apps that can transfer files to and from their external drives, but such transfer is pretty limited, so read up on it's capabilities before purchasing. You could also consider either one of the cloud-based solutions; iCloud, Dropbox, etc, or transfer the files to and from your computer via iTunes.
Regards.

  • What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad and iPhone?

    What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad?

    Richard-
    The best and easiest is to use the iPad's built-in AirPrint system with an AirPrint-capable printer.  <iOS: AirPrint 101>
    If you do not have an AirPrint-capable printer, all printing Apps are a compromise.  I have an HP non-AirPrint printer connected to my WiFi router.  The free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz works OK with photos.
    Print n Share and PrintCentral each have their own browser, mail, text and photo programs that work well with the printer, but they can only be accessed from within other programs that have the "Open In" option.  (So far, I think GoodReader is the only App I have with that option.)
    You can run a program like Printopia or FingerPrint on your computer that will share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  They both are reported to work well.  However your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print.  <Printopia for Macintosh>  <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

  • What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

    What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos?  Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

    Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
    as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

    Is it similar to operate as Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC?
    Yes, of course that is why I recommend them as office-compatible apps for iOS.  That is exactly what they are designed for - to allow you to work with your MS Office documents on your iOS device.
    I'm not sure of the current price, but if you search the app store, they are very easy to find - Docs2Go and QuickOffice have been amongst the top ranked MS Office-type apps for several years now.  Both also include a means to move files from your computer to your iOS device (QuickOffice uses an embeded file server over wifi, and Docs2Go has a free companion sync app for your computer).

  • What's the best commercial clean up tool for the hard drive.

    What is the best commercial, clean up tool for an internal hard drive.  Mine is rapidly being filled and I'm at a loss as to how to clean it up.  I don't know what apps, downloads etc are current or pertinent.  I suspect that I have a lot of redundency, but I'm not confident in knowing what they are.  My hard drive is approx. 93% filled and I'm rather concerned.

    I downloaded the free trial of EasyDuplicatFinder and tried it. Works great and is pretty easy to get the hang of it. Found lots of iTunes duplicate songs that I dumped and freed up quite a bit of hard drive space. Check it out.

  • What's the best DIVX file conversion solutions for Adobe Premiere Pro CS4, Windows XP OS.

    I am on a PC with CS4 Adobe Premiere Pro using XP OS.
    I have VIO POV 1 (helmet cam) footage that I need to edit within my CS4 project.  The Footage is DIVX MPEG4 AVI and Premiere doesn't recognize the video.  I need to figure out the best conversion to maintain the highest quality format that Premiere will recognize.
    What is your best recommendation on how to convert (and what format to convert to to maintain the best quality) and can you recommend a good converter program?  Free perhaps if I don't have to buy one.
    I have spent days looking for a solution and reviewing posts but to no avail.  I have tried MPEG Streamclip, Virtual Dub, Digital Media Converter, Prism and many selected others.
    -MPEG Streamclip doesn't seem to recognize the DIVX files (even after the 3IVX codec installed)
    -Digital Media Converter (free watermarked version) seems to work to produce the DV AVI files (type II) but the quality is pretty low so not really wanting to pay $50 to use the low quality conversion -does the converter program have much to do with the quality of the output?  It also produces a MPEG2 that seems a little better quality than the DV AVI file it produces.
    -Prism does convert to a high quality AVI file that does output a really high quality file that plays in Media Player (latest version) but not in Premiere Pro CS4. Prism also converts to a WMV (windows media vid) that I can use on PP but is not quite the quality of the above noted AVI.  This may be my best option???? Or is it a bad idea to use a compressed codec as wmv to edit and eventually output for the complete PP movie?
    http://www.nchsoftware.com/prism/index.html
    Any insight is very much appreciated. I must get on with my editing project!!! Thanks,
    Aaron.

    Jeff, thanks so much, but I'm still not quite there!  Agreed, codec packs can be dangerous but apparently the DIVX one is OK!
    So I downloaded the DIVX pack, and the VirtualDub did work and converted via VirtualDub to AVI,... then tried in PremierePro.  Again no luck viewing... sound OK but the video freezes on the first frame or two.  I can view those outputs in MediaPlayer or DIVX player though. So I tried rerunning the UT codec installer and the logarith but still can't view the outputs from VirtualDub in PP.
    I tried (in VirtualDub) converting the previously converted AVI file I did in Prism converter and again, can see the output in PP (still minor artifacts here and there though).
    ?Maybe I should just be happy with a the DIVX converted to a .wmv file but I think I will be sacrificing quality on already pretty grainy footage that I'm inserting into a largely HD film project so kinda shotty?
    Any more suggestions? The help is greatly appreciated!
    Aaron.

  • What's the best/fastest way to check for existance of a userobject

    We are developing an Addon in VB.NET.
    I think there are two ways to check if a table exists:
    1) usertableMD.GetByKey(tablename)
    2) orecordset.DoQuery("SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE ...)
    I would like to use the first way, but is the GetByKey fast and how much will the call "System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(usertableMD) " slow down ?

    I personnaly use GetByKey
    I think that opening a recordset is not the optimized SAP solution, and anyway, you'll have to release the recordset
    Private Function UserTableExists(pst_TableName) As Boolean
        Dim dsa_UserTablesMD As UserTablesMD
        Dim dbo_ReturnCode As Boolean
        dsa_UserTablesMD = msa_Company.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oUserTables)
        dbo_ReturnCode = dsa_UserTablesMD.GetByKey(pst_TableName)
        System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(dsa_UserTablesMD)
        Return dbo_ReturnCode
    End Function

  • What are the best external backup battery choices for the iPod Touch 4G?

    Hello,
    I am so disappointed with the battery life on my iPod Touch 4G, even when I turn off location services and notifications and put it in airplane mode. 
    As such, I realize that I am going to have to get an external backup battery, even though I don't like the idea of carrying around yet another item. 
    What are the best choices out there, especially any ultra-portable (aka small and non-bulky) ones?  I came across this Juice Pack Air - iPod Touch 4G Case, which seems like the perfect solution, but it is on back order and seems to have been so for a good amount of time.  Who knows when it will be in stock again.
    TIA for any and all help!

  • What's the best FM frequency to use for the Transm...

    Hi all,
    I'm having difficulty in getting my iPod car kit set up, so I am using my n900 for in car entertainment for the time being.  Problem is that I can't seem to find a clear frequency to set the phone to use, so it doesn't keep picking up other stations whilst I am driving around.
    I have just read that 87.5 is a good choice, as not many stations go that low.  Problem is the n900 won't go that low, as far as I can tell.
    Any suggestions?
    If tnis post is a cure to your issue, please MARK IT AS SOLUTION.
    If this post has helped anyone in any way, PLEASE SHARE YOUR KUDOS, by clicking on the GREEN STAR.

    The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
    In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
    Let me put this into perspective..
    From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
    Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
    Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
    The USA has its OWN firmware
    and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
    Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
    That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
    If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
    What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
    Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
    I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
    For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
    Crazy and very very irritating

  • What is the best column width & font size for an ipad magazine

    I'm creating a magazine that will be shown on the ipad I was wondering what is the best column width and font size to use. If someone has any suggestions I'd love the help.
    thanks,

    You should know how you publish it and what the technical limitations of each type are.
    No one can or will give you any advise to use this or that font. Make several drafts, try it, pass on several drafts to testers and get response.
    If you work with styles, it is then easy for you to change it to the best result with a few clicks.
    Normally a column width with 37 to 45 letters I would personally suggest to be the best width, but opinions are very different on it. The more letters in a line the less readability is given, the less letters the more difficulty you will have to get an even grey factor. (I mean that through space between words some lines become bright others dark, which does not look so fine, I don't know the English technical term for that.)

  • What is the best spyware/virus protection program for the mac?

    I'm new to the whole virus protection thing, and I know there are very few viruses out there for the mac, but better safe then sorry right? Plus i'm mainly getting it for the spyware protection anyway. Does Leopard already have some protection for it? Or would it be better to buy a new program? Thanks.

    Normally the best defense against Virus and other scrap on the net is the User. Never agree to open something you are not sure about. Don't visit dangerous sites, and think twice before make a gesture.
    After almost 25 years on Mac, and with X system, the only use for a AntiVirus is you can pass Virus to PC user but that ot effect your Mac. If you use Parallels or Bootcmp (or booth) you need a AntiVirus and Anti what the need on the PC, because that take 20 minutes on PC to be infected.

  • The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

    I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
    For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
    For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
    Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
    Thanks in advance.

    I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover
    Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

  • What is the best storage solution for the new Mac Pro

    Hi All,
    With limited funds when purchasing the new Mac Pro, I'm starting to look at storage for music/pictures/video etc - I'm thinking of storing this data externally and connecting via Thunderbolt or Firewire or USB3 to access the data... Not sure what type of storage to use, upgrading to 1TB PCIe-based flash seems excessive for costs and I would like at least 2TB, anyone have any suggestions?
    What are the alternatives for storage... (single disk Raid) I've recently had to replace my internal WD hard drive (lost everything) and the backup time capsule failed, again knackered disk (looks like WD format error with Maverick OS bug), don't want to format them just incase..
    With the new Mac Pro coming with 256GB PCIe-based flash storage, I'm reluctant to upgrade the storage because of costs and would like some redudancy when it comes to storage.
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks
    Russ

    landing page at OWC for Thunderbolt products.
    Helios enclosure (the new dual-slot Helios PCIe chassis) and moving various hard drives into Thunderbolt cases (in time) but mainly into my favorite USB3 hard drive enclosure.
    For those without eSATA enclosures, a simple eSATA to USB3 adapter might do the trick.
    USB3 is plenty fast to house two hard drives.
    If you can, I'd try to order with 500GB to get started and have more room for system and default for scratch or even for Aperture/iPhoto or Lightroom.
    Always take the precaution and zero a drive before use. Want a solid enterprise ideal for RAID, then look no further than Seagate Constellation series. 128MB cache doesn't hurt and fine for RAID5, NAS or whatever you want.
    There should be retail PCIe-SSD products in 2014.
