iRig MIDI

I'm relatively novice at midi, however I got the irig MIDI in the hope to sync any apps on my ipad (iKaossilator, Launchpad, Launchkey etc) with my tracks running in ableton on my macbook. All I need is for the ipad to clock to what is happening in ableton.

I've used ableton with the outboard novation pad and synced/clock a second macbook with ableton with no issues. I can see the red light flashing for the MIDI data in/out on the irig midi, but no timing.

FYI using a 002 for the MIDI interface.

Any ideas appreciated. thanks.
