I Pad Advice
Posted: Thu Sep 27, 2012 9:59 pm
Not sure if this is the right place for this thread (given that I rarely frequent this section of the forum
) but am seeking some advice/info from any techno guys that might be out there if possible ? I have an ipad 2 and it is a great piece of gear but am unsure if these two things are compatible with ipads -
1. I would record a fair amount of programmes on sky (esp during nfl season) onto my dvd's and am wondering if it is possible to transfer theses programmes onto my ipad or if there are compatibility issue's ? I have used DVD FAB 8 to convert dvd movies onto my ipad but it doesnt seem to have worked when I tried to do the same with my recorded dvd's (although I did only try it once). Do I need different software to make this work or is it even possible to do at all ?
2. Over the last few years I have been heavily involved in my local club (was secretary and am now treasurer) so do quite a bit of work on microsoft word and microsoft excel files. I know that I can (and have) email them to my ipad but I cannot edit them that way so is pointless really. I think I heard somewhere that it is possible to use a camera connection for the ipad to hook a usb memory stick to it but I could be wrong on that ?
If that can be done then will the ipad allow me to open and view the files given that microsoft applications are not on the ipads and if I can open the files from the usb will I be able to edit it ?
Sorry for the complicated questions and would be grateful for any help/advice that anybody can give me
