What I have found is you need to get the dock station extenders cord from apple or do a google search for a 30 pin male to female adapter cord.

Best Answer
Your suspicions are correct, the answer is no. It lines up as if it would, but it will not seat completely due to the seam that protrudes around the edge of the case.

Does this work for the iPad 4 with retina display?
- Asked by Rosemarie Q from Quezon City

Best Answer
Yes. I actually prefer it over the iPad 2 dock for these reasons: The front facing lip on the iPad 2 dock, although its heavier, provides more substantial support for the iPad, and less stress on the connector, it gets in the way of the SmartCover. I like having the iPad 2 docked with the SmartCover in place, which is NOT easily done with the iPad 2 dock, as ridiculous as that sounds! Secondly, the clean line of the IPad 2 face is obstructed with a white gash across the bottom of the black surface of the iPad. Now, if you have a white iPad 2, that's a far cleaner look. Personally, we use the white iPad 2 with the original iPad dock. Works very well and has a far better overall appearance.

You sure can. You simply require Apple Composite/AV Cables or AirPlay support, such as that offered by Apple TV.

How can I play movies from Itune on my Ipad, to my TV
- Asked by Jerry D from York
- Dec 31, 2010

Best Answer
Assuming that you have an HDTV that accepts RGB HD connections, you can buy the HD Component Cable for the iPad and stream movies (movies from iTunes, movies that you have RIP'd from DVD's, movies that you might download, or any other type of video that can play on the device) to your TV. But your iPad must be close to the TV and you can't use a remote control this way. This is not convenient at all.
What is convenient and very cool is the Apple TV ($99) with a home networking system, your iPad, and an HD TV. Using the free app "REMOTE" made by Apple, you can completely control your Apple TV with your iPad wirelessly, anywhere in your home by using basically the whole screen for touch controls.
What is also cool with this setup is that you can watch any videos that you have on your computer as well as any videos on your iPad, or any videos that you have at YouTube, Flickr, and Netflix. You get to use the keyboard on the iPad to type for searching, to type for inputting your account information and such. Rather than using the remote control to slowly move the cursor around until you are on the right letter and then you have to click again just to register one letter, while if you use the iPad, you just simply type away very easily and much faster.
So it is much easier to use the Apple TV with an HDMI HD connection from the Apple TV to your HD TV makes for crazy clear video on your TV, and it operates wirelessly, anywhere in your home, and you not only can play anything on your iPad, but you can also play anything on your computer right from your iPad. Playing a video from your computer using your iPad via the Apple TV allows you to use your iPad for whatever you want while the video is playing. If you use any cables, you cannot use your iPad while a video is playing, and that is bad.- Answered by Brent T from Honolulu

Best Answer
No. The Apple iPad Dock does not have an IR (infrared) receiver which is what would receive the IR signal from the Apple Remote.

Can you use the iPad Dock when the iPad is in the Smart Case?
I had to physically trim away excess material from my original iPad case in order to use the dock. I'd hate to have to do that to the new Smart Case.
(And by the way, once the iPad is fitted into the Smart Case, it actually requires significant effort to remove it. It's very well designed and manufactured.)- Asked by John V from Fort Worth
- Jun 16, 2012

Best Answer
No. I read online that it would fit with the smart case, but I found out otherwise. Yes, it will fit in the dock if you only want to use it as a stand, but the connector will not be able to make a connection, so it is just a stand, not a dock. Perhaps the person who claimed it would was confusing the smart case with the smart cover.

can you use a flashdrive with the i pad
- Asked by Mark P from Marshall
- Jan 23, 2011
- Flag as inappropriate
Best Answer
No. The camera kit for the iPad has a USB connector. If you put in a USB type of thumb-drive then the iPad will show that it has insufficient power to power the drive. And I have tried a number of USB thumb-drives and none work. So once again, no, you cannot.
