Why can't I use services like Instant messanging with my IPAD and I can on my MAC?

With my IPAD I cannot use IM or view certain videos , but with my MAC desk top I can, what software can I add to my IPAD to allow the same functionality as my mac

You can IM on the iPad, if you look in the AppStore Yahoo has an app and so does AIM.
What kind of videos are you wanting to watch?  Are they divx/Xvid, .h264 etc?  The iPad reads MP4 video format so searching Google for Convert X(X being the video type) to MP4

  • Why is my contact list receiving crazy emails supposedly from my iPad and how can I stop it?

    Why is my contact list receiving crazy emails supposedly from my iPad?

    Yes, I went to settings and turned wifi off.  Thought at first I wasnt letting it set for a sec or two before shutting the iPad off.  so now I wait like a minute or two  before shutting the iPad down.  didnt  seem to help.  Tried  actually logging out of  facebook when I was  done with it,  worked for about  4 days, and now it has started  coming on and coming online again,,  I  went through my notifications and  shut things off,   Well  see if it works.  thank you.

  • I am using Outlook 2010 on a PC with Windows 7 and was effectively using iclould to synch it with my ipad and iphone.  Within the last month the connection to icloud stopped working.

    I can still see Icloud contacts and calendar on my outlook, but it is not synching with the cloud.  I can't seem to pinpoint when it stopped working.  Help!

    Are you sure that you have the iCloud control panel downloaded and installed?
    You should also check the iCloud add in. Click the File menu. Then click Options in the left panel of the Outlook window. Click Add-Ins in the left panel of the Outlook Options window. Look at the list of add-ins beneath "Active Application Add-Ins" make sure "iTunes Outlook add-in" and "iCloud Outlook Add-in" are selected.
    To add enable the add-ins, in the Manage box at the bottom of the Outlook Options window, select COM Add-Ins, and then click Go. In the COM Add-Ins dialog, navigate to the iCloud add in and and you should be able to enable them.
    Once you have the refresh button, the push connection is ON again
    Let me know if it work

  • Hi i am a teacher and am looking to buy an iPad - we use SIMS (this isnt compatable with an IPad) but i can log into it via a virtual desktop.  What wold be the best iPad to buy?

    hi there
    im looking to buy an ipad- we use SIMS at school and i need to be able to log into it.  I can via a virtual desktop via the college wireless netork.  I also have work on the network.  What would be the best IPAD to buy?

    You have the choice of a full size iPad or the iPad Mini...both come as either WiFi only or WiFi+cellular data service.  With the cellular data model you can see if there is a SIM available that is appropriate.  Either model is capable of attaching to a wireless network to give you access.  Neither is capable of a wired connection, must be wireless.
    So, the question is which size is the best for your personal use, and do you want cellular data access - great thing to have.  Then the decision is which storage capacity do you want...keep in mind that the iPad is not upgradable after purchase so get the storage you really want to start out.

  • The comp where I have my iTunes installed went dead, how do I access my iTunes again using other computer? I bought an iPad and I can't sync it to my itunes. unable to buy apps as well

    the computer where I have my iTunes installed went dead. How do I access my iTunes again? Have no back up or whatsoever.

    No backup is not good at all.  This has always been very important.
    You can transfer itunes purchases from your ipad/iphone/ipod:  File>Transfer Purchases
    You can e-mail pics to yourself.  They will not be of the original quality.
    You can enter one unique contact and calendar entry on the computer, you should get the option to merge the data when you first sync.
    In some countries you can redownload some purchases:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I have a dialog window on my iPad2 labeled iCloud Bakup -- the iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. The screen is frozen. I can't clear away the dialog box to close down iPad and I can't get to settings to make any changes there. Ideas?

    A dialog box has appeared on the screen of my iPad2 and has frozen the device so that I can't close it down or make changes to the settings. The titel is "iCloud Backup" and it reads: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
    I'm not sure why it hasn't backed up but I can't do anything to clear the dialog box, turn off the device or get to any settings or apps on the device.
    Any suggestions? Please help -- I'm caring for my mother in hospice and don't have time to deal with this at the Apple Store!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
    It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

  • I have an iPad2 and recently bought an iPad mini.  My husband will take over the iPad 2.  How can I get him an iCloud account associated with that iPad and his iPhone 5?

    I have an iPad 2 and recently purchased an iPad mini.  My husband will take over the iPad2.  How can he get an icloud account for this iPad (eliminating me) and his iPhone5?

    Delete your iCloud account on the iPad 2, then he can follow the instructions to create his own iCloud account on it:

    Then he can setup his own account on his iPhone.

  • Can I share my internet with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely connect speakers?

    Can I share my internet from my Imac with my Ipad and simultaneously connect to a airport express that I use to remotely to connect speakers?
    The big problem that I'm having is that when internet sharing via the airport I can not simultaneously connect with my airport express.  It would be great to be able to share internet from my Imac so I can be using my Ipad and at the sametime have my wife use the airport express to stream music in a different room. It would be awesome to be able to have the ability to do both. Does anybody know how?

    Unless your iMac was made before 2006 (this forum is for old iMacs), you might get better assistance by posting in one of the following forum areas:
    AirPort

  • I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    I'm staying at my house in Peru, South America. From my PC laptop I can see my neighbor's wifi service network, but I also have my mini iPad and I can not figure out why I can't get any wifi connection from my area. Is there a setting I need to do?

    Yes, I did try to go on my settings>wifi and was waiting for any wifi signals to pick up, but nothing shows up. But on my PC I get a whole list of networks to choose from. Regarding my neighbor, I already have her password that is why I was able to get it on my PC, the problem is that the mini Ipad is not picking any signal neither can it locate me when I go to maps.

  • Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear-) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay

    Hi, I`d like to connect my Ipad wirelessly to a stereo to listen to my music from the iTunes library on streaming, but also to movies online, games, Goear…) and so on.  I guess I can do that using an Airport express connected to the stereo and via airplay to my Ipad. My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library? I`d appreciate any help. Alex.

    My question is, can I listen to all the audio that come out from the ipad (movies online, games, Goear…) or only to the music from iTunes library?
    On the iPad you can stream videos, photos, or music from the Video, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps to an Apple TV OR just stream music to an AirPort Express Base Station.

  • Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks?

    Why can't I use final cut pro 7 with Mavericks? Is any one else having problems? All my media is reputedly "offline" even though I can see all the files. Using the reconnect to media function doesn't do a thing. All of my previous projects are the same. Any ideas would be most welcome!

    Because it is $299.99, and there is tax.

  • Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Why is my texting using data? When I have data turned off I can't send/receive. Texting is "unlimited" but it's using up all my data- help!

    Texting longer text messages or any media (pictures/video/sound etc) being sent requires data to be active. However, it does not count against your data caps.
    Since you have an iPhone, you must also be aware of the difference between iMessage and SMS Text messages. The iPhone, by default, will send an iMessage when sending another text message to anyone else with an iPhone, iTouch, or iPad. This does use your data if you are not connected to wifi. In Settings, you can turn iMessage off, and then all of your texts will go through Verizon.
    Also understand- iMessage will use wifi when connected to wifi, but would need cellular data connection to work when not connected to wifi. Regular SMS text messages that are long or any media will always use the cellular data and not wifi, so will not send if cellular data is turned off, even if on wifi. However, this does not count against your cap.

  • Why can't I use Server 2.2.2 with Mavericks 10.9

    why can't I use Server 2.2.2 with Mavericks 10.9?
    I have just upgraded and there seems to be no way to upgrade the Mini server.  Do I have to uninstall Mavericks

    It would have been prudent for Mavericks upgrade to tell me that Server 2.x was not compatible.
    Indeed Server 2 update that at least told me it was not compatible and that version 3 was available would also have been useful.
    I only used the VPN feature a handful of times since purchasing in August 2013 - Not very good value for money in my circumstances then.

    Additional things to try.
    Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
