What do I need to use my "IPAD MINI" on a TV without HDMI?

Hi all,
I hope you guys can help as Apple Support on the phone and in store were useless!!!!
Dilemma
I had an IPAD 2 and brought the Apple AV composite lead (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable) so I could watch my IPAD 2 onto my TV.
Now I have upgraded to an IPAD MINI. this has the new lightning adapter, so I was looking to purchase from Apple their Lightning to 30-pin adapter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=45) so I could reuse my AV composite lead into my TV. And this is where the problems start.....
1. The Lightning to 30-pin adapter does not support "video"!
2. My TV does not have an HDMI, so rules out Apple TV, etc
3. Apple do not do a Lightning AV composite lead and are unlikely to produce one apparently (as there is not the demand)
My restrictions are as follows;
1. My TV has scart and AV connections only (but no HDMI)
2. I need to have audio and video supported (for photos / videos and sound)
3. I can't afford to buy a new TV... by the way that was the Apple solution, then buy an Apple TV.... they are on a different planet..... lol :-)
Any help, pointers in the UK where I can buy a lead elsewhere would be great or any decent solutions (and they wouldn't have to be great to beat Apples thus far!).... thanks community!

I haven't found any Lightning-to-Composite Video adapter anywhere. You'll probably need the Lightning Digital AV adapter and then an HDMI to composite video converter, as suggested in Patrick's response in this thread:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4351799?start=0&tstart=0
I've found that suggestion echoed in other places, so that may be your only option.
Regards.

  • HT3606 I have 10.5.8 software and aparently i need 10.7 or late to use my ipad mini what software can i download to bring it up to date and where from?

    i am having problems with the software updates on my pc, i have 10.5.8 currently and need 10.7 or later to be able to download newest itunes then i can finally use my ipad mini with the pc, how do i know which update will work i have tried numerous different updates to no prevail they all keep coming up with messages saying i need to download 10.6.8 or later.
    please help dont mind paying just need to know which one will work with my pc.
    many thanks

    First question is will your Mac run 10.7
    Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of RAM
    Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later with the Mac App Store installed
    At least 4GB of additional disk space to accommodate the download, but more is obviously
    If it will you must upgrade to 10.6 by purchasing the Snow Leopard install DVD from Apple.

  • What do I need to charge my iPad when in the UK?

    What do I need to charge my iPad when in the UK?  I know I need the UK plug adapter, but does the 12W iPad charge adapter convert the power?

    If you are using the Apple supplied charger, you will simply need  a plug adapter for the local power system.
    As per your other post, if you wish to simplify your packing, the iPad charger could be used for the iPhone and the iPad.

  • In what case, we need to use PI for vendor replication in MM-SUS?

    Dear Experts,
    In what scenarios, we need to use or configure the PI settings for vendor replication between MM and SUS? The SAP configuration guide for SRM 7.01 mentions about the PI settings for vendor replication from ECC to SUS.
    However, we are able to replicate the vendor from ECC to SUS using the program BBPGETVD in SUS client?
    In what circumstances, we need to configure the PI settings for vendor replication when we are able to do so in a much simpler way?
    Thanks in advance,
    Ranjan
    Ranjan Sutradhar

    Hi Ranjan,
    In all circumstances you need to replicate vendors from MM to SUS via PI. BBPGETVD is not the right way to replicate vendors to SUS because the information like vendor class, assignment of this vendor class to an object and the vendor classification cannot be transferred via BBPGETVD.
    Hence you will have to use PI. You can try sending a PO from MM to SUS and the PO will fail in SUS with a message like 'Vendor not present in SUS' if you use BBPGETVD.
    Regards,
    Nikhil

  • I'm using an ipad mini and facebook won't update. What's wrong with it?

    I'm using an ipad mini and it won't update facebook. There's no other updates to do with it and I can download apps. I've had the ipad since about the end of august sometime.
    Thank you

    There are a number of other posts about not being able to download the update to the Facebook app, and I also can't download it (on my iPad nor my computer's iTunes) - I assume that there is a problem at Apple's end which they need to fix

  • Im using an ipad mini and recently it started to act way wiered than i ever imagined.whenever i switch it on it would open or close apps of its choice and function without my interference.it's like auto touch.what should i do with this?

    im using an ipad mini and recently it started to act way wiered than i ever imagined.whenever i switch it on it would open or close apps of its choice and function without my interference.it's like auto touch.what should i do with this?

    That could be a hardware problem with the screen digitizer but first try these troubleshooting steps in this order:
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
    Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

  • What do I need to use sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver

    hi there
    what do I need to use sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver to access MS Access database?
    String sourceURL = "jdbc:odbc:mysource";
    String sqlQuery = "select ComsumerAccountNumber from EDS5";
    //getting a connection
    try {
    Class.forName(driverName);
    Connection databaseConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(sourceURL);
    Statement statement = databaseConnection.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery(sqlQuery);
    while(rs.next()){
    ...some code to do with the results
    catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
    System.err.println(cnfe.getMessage());
    catch (SQLException sqle) {
    System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());}
    I got error and caught it in catch( classnotfoundexception). no driver. is this the correct way to use a driver. I have created a data source.

    make sure the driverName is "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver"
    I noticed you typed in your message "sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcOdbcDriver" with a lowercase 'j'

    Moveis/tv shows etc that you buy on DVD are encrypted to stop you from doing this.  Breaking this encryption is against the law.  We cannot help you break the law here.

    If you are using Keynote, then no, you would be fine with just the adapter and a cable hooked up to the projector.

  • What impact should I see when my Ipad mini is associated to my Wife's Apple ID

    I have a 64gb Ipad mini
    My wife has a 16gb Ipad with retina
    Both me and my wife have purchased tv shows in iTunes using my Ipad mini and have both downloaded content to that device.
    My Ipad mini shows in my wife's iTunes account as being associated with her Apple ID.
    To date, I can't see that I have been impacted by that association because we can both log in and out of iTunes on that device, download TV series and play those shows.  With my device being associated with my Wife's Apple ID, what impact should it have on me?
    I've been corresponding with Apple for over two weeks and am still no closer being given an answer that makes any sense   I just seems that I am being given stock answers to another question
    I have been given links to many help articles that have been directly and indirectly relevant to my query, but they don't answer my question.  I've also read through the community support forum, but there's nothing that I can find that relates to my question.
    We are both new to Apple products, iTunes is new territory for us.  I simply want to understand whether or not our shared use of my Ipad mini will create a problem that locks either one of us out of certain content.  We'd rather know this up front so that we make an informed choice of whether to continue purchasing hard copies or start using iTunes for purchasing TV shows.
    Additional information:
    We have Apple TV (3rd gen)
    Thanks in advance,
    John

    I found this article for you on the iTunes support website at:

    Hi Japple,
    A long time ago, which iTunes account you used to make purchases was important due to the DRM that Apple used at the time.  Now that most music on the iTunes Store is DRM-free the distinction of which account was used to purchase the music is irrelevant.  Songs can be copied freely to as many computers and devices that you own.
    Movies and TV shows, however, are not all DRM free.  They have Apple's FairPlay DRM embedded.  What does this mean for you?  Probably not much.  You can authorize up to five computers to play a video file downloaded from either of your iTunes accounts.  iTunes itself keeps track of the associations and, if you change devices in the future, it's very easy to dissociate your accounts in the iTunes Store. 
    Let me give you an example of how this works.  Let's say my wife buys a CD and a movie from iTunes and I want it on my computer in my library too.  First thing I need to do is copy the files to my machine and add them to my iTunes library (File --> Add to Library, I believe).  When I try to play the music, they'll work immediately, no more configuration required.  When I try to play the movie, however, iTunes will ask me to associate my computer with my wife's Apple ID (if I haven't already done so in the past).  To associate my computer, all I need to do is enter her Apple ID and password into the dialog box that pops up and I'm good to go.  Now I can play that file in my iTunes on my computer without any trouble.  I can also download it to my iOS devices (iPad, iPod, iPhone) seamlessly.
    An Apple TV is different than the other iOS devices in that its primary purpose is to stream files from computers, other iOS devices, or the iTunes Store directly.  The Apple ID that you associate with your Apple TV is only relevant to the purchases you make from the iTunes Store and if you turn on Home Sharing.  But both you and your wife can stream files to your Apple TV from your iOS devices.  Make sure that AirPlay is enabled on your Apple TV and your iPads. Then select the Apple TV you want to stream to from your iPad and you should be good to go.
    My wife and I have a similar environment to the one you describe and have no trouble viewing or using content on any of our devices (including computers).
    Best of luck!

  • Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud?

    Why do I need to connect my Ipad mini with my Mac Book Pro via iCloud? I don't have iCloud on my MacBook Pro and only intend to use the mini to check e-mail and use Garage Band and Photo Booth for song writing when traveling . . .

    Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
    In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
    When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
    You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
    Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
    High regards to everybody

  • I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

    I need to sync an ipad mini with a regular ipad. If I were to open them plug them both into the same computers itunes, would they have identical information?

    You will need to choose one as the "master", back that unit up to iTunes, then restore the other unit from that backup and then sync all the same content and apps. That's the only way they'd have identical data. If you need to keep then synched on an ongoing basis, you'll probably need to use some sort of cloud-based service such as iCloud or Dropbox to hold the data, which of course will require that your apps support that service for storage of documents.
