Do you want to transfer your photos from USB Flash Drive to iPad? It is now possible with the help of the new iPad Camera Connection Kit. This simple trick will allow you to you can fool your iPad into thinking a connected USB flash drive is a camera or SD card, this will allow you to transfer photos from the device to your 9.7 inch revolutionary tablet PC. And this is definitely a best way to move photos to the iPad from a Mac that the iPad isn’t synced to. So if you want to transfer some of your photos to your iPad, then simply follow the simple instructions posted below:
How to Transfer Photos To iPad Using USB Flash Drive
Step 1: First, you have to connect the USB flash drive to your Mac
Step 2: Then create a folder in the root directory of the Flash Drive called “DCIM”
Step 3: Now, just simply drop the photos (any image format) you want to transfer from the USB key to the iPad into that DCIM directory
Step 4: Then plug the USB flash drive into your iPad via the Camera Connection Kit
That’s it. You can now access the photos from your iPad.
Cut Your Sim is now offering an unlocking service to anyone who owns an iPhone 3G, 3GS, or iPhone 4. Unfortunately for Verizon customers seeking an unlock, this service only applies to the GSM models. But, if you CDMA iPhone wielders were unhappy at that, then at least the price should make you smile a little – $169.
For just shy of $170 the Indiana-based company will carrier unlock your iPhone. But here’s the great thing – you will NOT lose your warranty. The unlock is is completely legal, it requires no jailbreak, or any software changes of any kind. On the site the company explains the simple procedure:
Type in your iPhone’s IMEI number in the IMEI# section. You can get this number from the phone by dialing *#06# please do not get the IMEI number from the box.
Once payment is received, we will email you when the phone is ready, and unlocked. (This can take 2-5 days, or less) You will not need to enter any codes, your IMEI# will be added to Apple’s whitelist and will be unlocked forever.
Once unlock is complete, we will notify you. All you have to do then is, connect your iPhone with any Sim Card to iTunes. This will then activate and unlock your phone.
You don’t have to send the phone away anywhere, it’s done remotely. If you have an iPhone, and have the cash to spare, it’s certainly worth it. If it sounds a bit suspicious like it shouldn’t be possible, let me confirm that it is. Over here in the UK when O2 lost the exclusivity, the carrier started offering free unlocks to all iPhone users. They used the same procedure, I filled in a form online with my IMEI number, and a few days later it was unlocked. A message appears on your screen, you put in any carrier’s SIM and plug it in to iTunes. It’s really as simple as that. This could be really handy if you travel abroad frequently, or if you prefer to use T-mobile.
