Remotely access an ipad?
Quick question. I figured i would post it here since there are a lot of Ipad users in here. Is there an app that would allow me to remotely access another ipad(from any device ie another ipad or desktop)?
Thanks.
Thanks.

ipads and iphones are designed to be taken with you, not used remotely like a desktop system would.
there is, however, a vnc server for jailbroken ipads and iphones.
what are you trying to do that you need to control an ipad remotely?

as for vnc, the only way is to jailbreak, which is not yet available for the latest ipad.

There is an untethered jailbreak for the iPad 3. He's not in the wild yet.

You would have to jailbreak your ipad but I have used it with my iphone and it works for your ipad as well. It is called veency http://dottech.org/ios/19264/control...r-with-veency/

remote access for my dad's ipad
i think this thread has been dropped, but would love some help. my father, who is about to turn 80, wants to get an ipad. he has NEVER had a computer of any type. he is afraid he won't know how to use it and will get frustrated. we don't live on the same coast, so, i will need to help him via remote access. are there any simple programs that will allow me to use my macbook air and/or macmini to have remote access to his ipad? thank you so much.

but to answer your question, there's no remote access unless you jailbreak it, which i do not suggest for this situation.
