Regular Keypad Useless

Feb 2, 2010

While I myself am not finding an immediate need for an iPad - I can't deny that there are some that will actually benefit from having one beyond it being a luxury item.I am speaking of those who have medical conditions which would render a regular keypad useless.The size and touch ability of the iPad makes it perfect for stroke victims who have lost their speech to communicate. Anyone with limited mobility in their hands/fingers as well

Have Useless Outdoors

Apr 4, 2010

Overal the iPad for me so far has lived up to the hype, and is poised to become a new type of computing platform in the coming years. One MAJOR flaw is that it is totally useless in direct sunlight. Anyone that thinks they can use the iPad on a great sunny day while sipping on a iced latte can forget about that.The iPhone can be used pretty well in sunlight, as it has a special reflective material in the LCD that uses sunlight to "light" it up. It seems like the iPad's screen does not use this, and in sunlight is pretty much unusable.

Is Useless Without Itunes

Apr 14, 2010

I did not realize that the iPad is really a computer accessory and not a stand alone product. I bought the thing as a surprise for my husband. The only thing he does besides using the internet is look at his pictures. I own an old Mac that I cannot upgrade to Leopard, and now I realize the iPad is useless. I can download photos on it by uploading them on a website and then saving them one by one on the iPad. However all the photos end up as Saved Photos and I am unable to create folders. I signed up to MobileMe hoping that would work, but no dice. Is there any way that I can get about 5 folders of photos on it.

Having Useless VGA Adapter

Jul 26, 2010

I mistakenly thought I'd be able to use the VGA adapter to view the screen of my iPad mirrored on a monitor. However, the VGA adapter only supports video output from certain applications. There is no way to simply view a Safari web page on the monitor.

The VGA adapter also does not have an option for plugging in to power while viewing video. So, you have to run off battery. The Composite/Component connectors ship with a power supply so you can plug in the iPad while watching videos.

And, of course, the VGA adapter doesn't do anything for sound. Overall much more limited than the Composite/Component cables and lacking the most obvious functionality which business users might want.

Airport Express Be Useless?

Sep 16, 2010

So 2 main things are on my mind:

1. Printing
2. Streaming Sound

1. With printing, i've never been able to "wirelessly" print using my airport express considering my Dell 1110 Laser Printer isn't compatible with the Airport Express. At least, when I purchased it 2 years ago there was no applicable driver to allow me to connect my laser printer to my AE and do wireless printing from my MBP.

Obviously I'll keep trying to dig online to see if any updates has come around...but am wondering if I was able to come across such a driver, obviously i'd be able to wirelessly print from my MBP, but what about the iPad? Would the new iOS support this?

2. I've always been able to stream iTunes from my MBP to the speakers connected to my AE...will the new iOS allow me to watch a movie on my iPad and stream the sound to my speakers connected to AE? Any idea about say, streaming a Netflix movie and streaming the sound to the speakers connected to the AE?

1 Revisited: What about if my printer was on, connected to my MBP. Could then the iPad allow me to print wirelessly?

Is Useless As A Mobile Device

Dec 6, 2010

I upgraded to 4.2.1 on my 64BG iPad wifi + 3G. It then stopped working with 3G instantly and wifi is soooooo slow now.So I went to the apple store, got a replacement given to me cause the shop assistant agreed after testing it that it was faulty.I tested the replacement in the store. Worked perfect. Took it to the lower level carpark.. Still worked pretty good (how it should).

So then I get home and begin the restore and updated to 4.2.1 and BAM!! 3G functionality is gone.Apple, I am paying good money for my mobile plan, I paid good money for the 3G version iPad, and I would like a fix asap please as this is costing me!I also own an IFail 4 as well and that has just been a disaster with major time drop outs.Acknowledge the issue unlike you did with the iFail 4 and fix please.Though you might be buying time as we speak.

Useless On Wifi Only Models?

Nov 29, 2010

I'm experimenting with the now-free Find My ipad service. I only see one major problem though, which seems to make the service of no use at all on a wifi only ipad.

Wifi iPads only connect to wifi networks on demand unless they are in the area of a known network. If you take your iPad to a restaurant with free wifi you have to select it after opening safari, and even then some places make you authenticate to the service - accept an agreement - before you have connectivity.

This means that unles your iPad is in an area that you have used it before on wifi, and that area has no wifi authentication spiel, your iPad will never get a connection to apple's service.

If someone steals the iPad then deliberately logs it in to wifi, that will make the features work. But person could also just do a full restore in iTunes?...

And if your ipad got left somewhere but there're no thief, just a lost ipad, and theres no internet connectivity? You just wanna send the command to play the sound so you can look for it...

Airplay Is Useless / Never Watched Videos

Nov 23, 2010

I have a big problem with tbhis Airplay thing when it comes to the iPad. Basically, I don't understand the need for it as it currently stands.

It will let me stream videos that are on my iPad to my AppleTV. The thing is, when I go to the effort of converting movies to the iTunes format and syncing them to my iPad, it's for the very specific purpose of watching them on my iPad when I'm away from home. I have never watched videos on my iPad while at home, when I could launch iTunes and send them to my AppleTV that way.So that's a bit pointless for most people I'd say.

It doesn't stream videos I've shot on my iPhone to the AppleTV unless they're synced back to a Mac first and then re-synced back to my iPhone. In which case I may as well just play them through the AppleTV normally, via my iTunes library. So that's pointless too, and very frustrating that they won't stream natively. Big miss there.

Dump Linux Machine - App Useless

Apr 28, 2010

First let me start by saying that this is my first post, but I have been a long time reader, and a huge head like most of you. I will be receiving my iPad 3G Friday (hopefully before work at 3) I have a custom desktop that I use for my UPnP server with my PS3. I'm running ubuntu 9.10 and I love it. I have been using the virtual box with XP for syncing and updating my iPhone. Here is where my problem starts. I want to be able to stream movies and music to my ipad in the same way I can with my PS3. The only apps that I have read about on here are all Mac and windows based server clients only (IE: air sharing) or the only UPnP app I could find was PlugPlayer and because my video collection is all in .AVI the app sees the server, and connects, but the iPhone (testing it out) doesnt support the .avi format making the app useless for my intentions.

Most Useless Product - Lighter Version Of OS

Jan 27, 2010

iPad is the most useless product from Apple. Why? It's not a computer, just a giant iPod Touch. No multitasking, no OS X, just everything that is available for iPhone/iTouch already. It won't fit into your pocket so it can't be used as an iPod but it's too small and slow to be used as a computer.Simply, I find no interest on it. Who would buy it? Okay, the price is nice, but if you already have a laptop, why don't you use that instead or buy a MacBook which is a lot faster and runs a real OS X, not an iPhone OS. Why couldn't Apple make a lighter version of OS X and include that? Then you would have millions of apps available and multitasking etc.

Rental Download Movie Useless?

May 1, 2010

While traveling, I tried to download a movie rental for the flight home, but the download time is over 7 hours, necessitating a bit of foresight for a modicum of entertainment value. I left the download running overnight, but a workaround is necessary to avoid having the download abort, and that is turning off the sleep function in settings/auto-lock/never. I will now try it again, but how successful does Apple think their video rental business is going to be with this paradigm? A disillusioned consumer is the worst case, because they blog negative on your product.

It is misleading over-marketing of this product for Mr Jobs to create the illusion of easy access to video entertainment, create a marketplace for accessing such entertainment, but fail to engineer some sort of compression of these huge video files so that the download process with consumer level connectivity speeds is remotely practical.

Useless IPhoto Sharing On IPad 3

Apr 16, 2012

I bought the iphoto app for my ipad 3. After adding effects to a photo from camera roll, I 'share the edited photo' back into camera roll. The photo is ALWAYS highly pixelated, almost as if the photo processing didn't complete. This doesn't change no matter how long I wait looking at the photo in camera roll. Because of this, iPhoto is completely useless for me.

IPad 2 Copying Useless Emails

Aug 24, 2011

I setup the email app on my new iPad 2 and, unfortunately, linked it to my old gmail account, which has thousands of ancient emails. Now, the iPad (or iTunes sync) is trying to copy every *#@ing one of them into the ipad's limited storage. I have to stop this annoying automatic transfer and replace it with a simpler, manually? controlled, file transfer.

So, I am thinking of changing the iPad's email to a new account that would be used only as a gateway for moving useful files between iPad and Desktop storage.
