How to Make an iPad Expandable

Apple's iPad runs on the same software as the iPhone.

Flag this photo

The iPad tablet from Apple lacks many of the expansion slots that exist on other devices. For example, it doesn't have the ability to increase its storage through a secure digital memory card, nor can it connect to USB devices, televisions, monitors or keyboards. What the iPad lacks in its native configuration, however, can be made up through the use of adapters to expand its capabilities. The iPad has two main ways which it can be expanded -- either through adapters that plug in to the dock connection on the bottom of the device or through Bluetooth wireless accessories like speakers.

Related Searches:Difficulty:Moderately EasyInstructions 1

Expand your storage capacity through an SD card adapter connected to the dock connection. The interface is designed so that photographers can view their images on the iPad, so all the files on the SD card must be accessed through the iPhoto app, which can display both photos and videos. Plug the adapter into the connector on the bottom of the iPad and then insert the SD card into the adapter. Note that you can also use a USB adapter to connect to a memory card reader to perform the same function.

2

Add input options to your iPad through Bluetooth accessories. You can use an external keyboard, mouse, speakers or headset through the integrated Bluetooth radio. Pair the device to your iPad and you can use it for input and output beyond what the iPad had built in. For example, if you write a lot on your iPad, the on-screen keyboard may be cumbersome. Using a Bluetooth-connected keyboard will allow you to write more comfortably, especially when paired with an iPad dock that holds the screen up at an angle for easy viewing while typing.

3

Amplify your output capability through the use of a Video adapter or Audio and Video adapter. Depending on the inputs for your home entertainment system, you might use the High Definition Multimedia Interface adapter, which carries both sound and picture, or you might use a VGA monitor cable to connect to a computer screen. If you use a separate video adapter, you can plug the 3.5 mm headphone jack on your iPad into external speakers or, with another adapter, into a home stereo system.

Tips & Warnings

Accessories for the iPad are available through apple.com as well as from

Can You Stream ESPN3 to Your TV With the iPad?

AirPlay requires version 4.2 or higher of Apple's iOS software.

The sports channel ESPN provides access to its programming on the iPad via the free WatchESPN app. The video footage received through the WatchESPN app can be streamed to your TV using the iPad's built-in AirPlay feature. AirPlay requires an Apple TV unit connected to your TV to receive and display the streaming video.

Tap the "App Store" button on your iPad, followed by the "Search" button in the menu across the bottom of the screen. Type "WatchESPN" into the search box in the upper-right corner of the screen. Tap the entry for the WatchESPN app in the search results to open its full listing page. Tap the "Free" button, then tap it again when the text changes to "Install" to download the app to your iPad.

Apple TV

The Apple TV unit must be connected to the same network as your iPad — either wired or Wi-Fi — to receive AirPlay content. Connect the Apple TV unit to a power outlet and to your TV using an HDMI cable. Turn the TV on and switch it to the Apple TV's channel. If the Apple TV is using a wired Ethernet connection, it will detect and connect to your network automatically. Select your wireless network from the on-screen list using the remote control and enter your passcode if connecting via Wi-Fi.

Using WatchESPN

Tap the "WatchESPN" button to launch the ESPN video streaming application on your iPad. Tap the "Channel" button in the menu across the bottom of the screen and select "ESPN 3" from the list of available channels. The app displays the current video being broadcast on ESPN 3, followed by a list of upcoming shows and events. Tap the "Play" button to the right of any available videos to begin streaming the content from the Internet to your iPad. The video is displayed at full screen.

AirPlay Mirroring

To watch the current ESPN show on your TV, AirPlay must be activated to connect the iPad to the Apple TV unit. Double-tap the "Home" button on the iPad to reveal the multitasking panel. Swipe the panel twice to the right and tap the "AirPlay" icon. The icon is identified by a rectangle with a triangle intersecting its bottom edge. Tap the Apple TV unit in the AirPlay list and slide the "Mirroring" switch to "On." Whatever is displayed on the iPad's screen is now mirrored on your TV.
