How I Display My iPad Screen on TV and Projector

Recently, I published a post about the eight deals I ordered from Dealdey. All the items were recently delivered to my doorstep and one of them is a Wifi media streamer; a wireless HDMI dongle powered by EZcast software.

With the EZcast HDMi dongle, you can use it to display your iPhone or iPad screen on your TV wirelessly if the TV has an HDMI port. You can do same on a Projector. You can as well use it to stream content from iTunes on your computer to the TV.



So, no need to waste your money buying an AppleTV just to enjoy the iOS AirPlay feature of your iOS device. The dongle simply offers support for AirPlay mirroring.

So this means you can just relax in bed and enjoy the music, photos, videos in your iPad, on your TV.  If you want to make a presentation to a large audience eg to demonstrate how to use an app on your iPad or to share an ebook saved on your iOS device, you can simply flip this to you TV or Projector by making use of the dongle.



When you are browsing on the Safari browser, it automatically displays on your TV if you mirror the iOS device with your TV using the EZcast HDMI dongle.



If you have the dongle, you can read how to use it to mirror your iOS device to TV or Projector here.



If you don't have it, you can buy the EZcast HDMI dongle from Konga or Jumia Nigeria. It should also be available on Amazon and Aliexpress too.

How Can I Identify the Apple iPad 3?

I upgraded from iPad 1 to iPad 3 yesterday. My lil bro helped me to buy it in Lagos, Nigeria and sent it down to me in Benue. On getting it, I just couldn't identify if it is an iPad 3 or iPad 2. All I see on the back is "iPad 64GB.....Model A1430". So, I turned to Google for help and I was able to get some tips on how to identify the Apple iPad 3, which I've decided to share with you.

How To Identify iPad3 Without Unboxing It

If you are at a store to buy iPad3, you can identify it by not unboxing it if you can find the Order Number (Part Number) on the packaging. The order numbers for the 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB configurations in white are MD369LL/A, MD370LL/A and MD371LL/A, respectively while the Order Numbers for 16 GB, 32 GB and 64 GB configurations in black are MD366LL/A,MD367LL/A and MD368LL/A respectively.



I highly recommend you unbox it to confirm the model of iPad you have with you because someone might mistakenly package an iPad in a wrong box.

How To Identify an Unboxed iPad 3

To properly identify your iPad 3, look at the back of the device near the center bottom. If you look closely at the fine print,  you’ll see ‘Model’ and a 5 character model number beginning with the letter ‘A’. For example, my iPad is Model A1430 – an iPad 3rd Generation 64GB WiFi + Cellular model.

Once you have your 5 character model number you can check it against Apple’s listing of all iPad models, found here.  Right there, you will know which generation your iPad is, when it was released, and whether it is a WiFi only model or WiFI + Cellular.



If your iPad Model Number is A1416 you have an Apple iPad iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi.

If your iPad Model Number is A1403 you have an Apple iPad iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (VZ).

If your iPad Model Number is A1430 you have an Apple iPad iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular.





After you might have powered ON your device, you can also identify your iPad 3.



iPad 3 has a voice dictation integrated on the on-screen keyboard (little mic on the left side of the space bar). In case you don't know, Siri works only on iPad 3 running iOS 6 or later. It doesn't work on iPad 2.



You can also go to "Settings" > "General" > "About" > "Diagnostics & Usage" > "Diagnostics & Usage Data". Tap one of the files and look for the line, "Hardware Model: iPad 3,3".



That's all you need to know if the iPad you have is iPad 3.



I hope this helps.

Echofon : Free Twitter app for iPad that Supports Multiple Accounts

The Tweetcaster app has always been my favorite app for tweeting on my iPad not until recently it stopped working on my iPad. I have tried several times to update the app but it keeps telling me that it is no longer available at the store where I downloaded it from; though have not tried downloading a fresh one from US iTunes app store.





Twitterrific app for iPad also has stopped working on my iPad. Unfortunately, I can't update it because the free app is no longer available since the launch of the Twiterrific 5 app which costs US$2.99 as at the time of publishing this post.



Hence, I was left with no choice than to hunt for a free Twiter app that will be better than the official Twitter app for iPad. Fortunately, while searching for the best twitter apps for iPad, I stumbled on a list of apps and decided to try some of the apps.



I installed Echofon for iPad and fell in love with it.



It is an easy to use, super-fast FREE Twitter app with clean design. It’s easy to do common Twitter tasks such as viewing your Twitter timeline, direct messages, mentions, lists, favorites and trends. And for those who do a little tweeting on the side, Echofon also supports multiple accounts.

Echofon app supports inline photo preview, conversation pop-overs and features a unique users view. Just like on the iPhone, you'll receive configurable push notifications for Direct messages, mentions, replies, followings and favorites.



Download Echofon for iPad here.
