Question about new iPad and iOS version

Post by catmann05 »

Greetings,
I am planning on getting the new iPad (version 4) to run the Lemur app in connection to a Windows 7/64 machine running Cubase via an AdHoc wireless.
Has anyone had a chance to test 4? I know for a fact that iPad 2 runs smoothly...

Also...I think iPad4 comes loaded with IOS 5.1.1. If so, should I update it to IOS6.01 or would it be safer to stick with 5.1.1? AdHoc connectivity is crucial for me (for low latency).

Thank you.

I have got the new iPad 4 and I can confirm it doesn't work with the adhoc.

First of all it came with IOS 6 (not 5.1.1 as i thought) so I updated it to 6.01.
It works well through the WiFi Router (it connect immediately to the Daemon) but...the latency is ridiculous! :)

Now, in order to get rid of the latency... I have created an AdHoc Wifi network as per the instructions found on this forum (static IP) and it could successfully connect to it. However - as soon as I leave the Settings app and open (launch) the Lemur app - the iPad gets disconnected (and it obviously can't be seen by Daemon). I have tried many many time, different IPs, static, everything. I even suspected my iPad4 was defective, returned it, got a replacement - to no avail.

So please allow me to ask again - has anyone tried the new iPad 4 with the Lemur app and AdHoc Wifi connection? Anyone had success with it?

I should also mentioned that I tried an iPad2 (not mine) and an iPhone 5 and they both worked great without any glitch with my AdHoc wifi.

Out of desperation I also bought the camera kit, plugged a Midi interface in it - success, but then I realized there was no way I could charge the iPad while working with midi (camera kit). Not good. Camera Kit is a no go.

Can the developers (or anybody else) please help me with an advice. Should I really return the iPad4 and get an older iPad2 instead?

so far no problems. I think the iPad should be updated to 6.0.1, there seem to be some improvements over 6.0.

Interesting...thank you.
Could it be the USB NIC wifi adapter? I have a good one, supposedly, Asus n-class/5Ghz.

no, if it's a newer adapter I think that is not the cause. Maybe the IP addresses? I recently set all computers, iPads, and the router to 192.168.1.x and 255.255.255.0, and have (almost) no connection problems anymore. iOS 6.01.
