Apple VGA Adapter, with iPad 1, OS 4.3 upgrade and Data Projector?

Hi,
Our school is testing a number of iPads, and I will be buying a iPad 2 on the 25th March. I would like to test my iPad 1 with the Apple VGA Adapter and my data projector in my classroom. (All Apps)
In the past the Apple VGA adapter did not mirror the apps, however the Apple site now has a link to mirror technology with the VGA Adapter.
I could buy the Apple Digital AV Adaptor (HDMI) but would then need to find a HDMI to VGA convertor to connect to my data projector.
I would love to show my students Garage Band on my projector, but need the correct cables.
Regards

Use the Apple VGA Adapter to mirror whatever’s on your iPad 2 screen — apps, presentations, websites, and more — on your VGA-equipped TV, display, projector or other compatible display in up to 1080p HD.
Watch slideshows and video on the big screen in up to 720p by connecting your iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation) to a television, projector, or other VGA-compatible display.
The Apple VGA Adapter connects to your iPad, iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPod touch (4th generation), iPad Dock or Universal Dock via the dock connector and to your projector or display using the VGA adapter.

I know this thread isnt that recent but the answer can be found when you look at the VGA adapter product page mention in an earlier post:
"The Apple VGA Adapter mirrors exactly what you see on iPad 2 so that everyone in the room can enjoy it.
The Apple VGA Adapter supports video out (only) for iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation)."
So there you have it - only video out is supported on the original iPad / iPhone 4 / iPad Touch.

  • VGA adapter with iPad 3 creates yellow image on VD

    An apple VGA adapter works fine with iPad2, but with iPad3 the image is too yellow.
    I tried on two different iPad3. I repeat there is no problem with iPad2.
    Is there a new generation of VGA adapters for iPad3 or is this a defective unit?

  • Apple VGA adapter not compatible with OS 5 on iPad!

    Few months ago I updated my iPad 2 to OS 5. Since then, the Apple VGA Adapter has stopped working and I'm no longer able to mirror the content of my device on my TV (or any other TVs or equipments for that matter). Before the update, with OS 4, it was working perfectly. That's why on my second iPad 2, the one I use for work intensively, I had decided to keep OS 4 so I could use mirroring. As a sales trainer, I really need that particular feature to project presentations, videos and many apps I'm using, on a TV or a screen (through a projector). Yesterday, I eventually decided to upgrade to OS 5 because I wanted to fully use iCloud and also needed to update Pages, Keynotes etc...
    Well, now it's impossible to make the Apple VGA Adapter works!! Same iPad, same cable (the expensive one bought at the apple store), same TV, different OS and it no longer works! My conclusion is that Apple deliberately introduced a function that deactivate the VGA cable in OS 5, probably to force people to buy the even more expensive Apple TV. I don't need Apple TV because I'm traveling and simply need to connect my iPad to a projector or a TV and share my screen. I'm not going to travel with an Apple TV box....Don't mention the HDMI cable because most of the equipments I'm using don't have an HDMI port.
    I've seen Apple changing a lot those last few years, slowly becoming a greedy and unethical corporation, it's so sad really...I hope that the competitors will come up soon with a product as good as the iPad.
    In the meanwhile, if somebody knows how to make the cable work after the OS 5 update I would really appreciate some help! Thanks!

    Strange - my two VGA adapters (model A1368, both  purchased in 2010) work just fine on my
    - 5.1.1 iPad 2 AND iPad 3 (mirroring too)
    - 5.1 iPad 1 (video playback only)
    The iPads are not jailbroken.
    I've heard stories of component / composite  cables stop working (my "old" component cable works just fine on all these devices) and it's also known the "old" (pre-March) HDMI adapters display a "Not compatible" dialog but they still do  work if you just dismiss the dialog. However, I have never heard stories of the VGA adapter's stopping working. Are you sure it's indeed the VGA adapter?

  • Keynote iOS, Apple VGA adapter and Beamer, hardware or software Issue?

    hiho,
    iPad 2, newest iOS, Keynote, newest version
    original apple vga adapter
    Effect: After connecting to a projector I get a projector picture for approx 3-5 seconds.
    After this time the projector loses the signal from the iPad2.
    disconnecting and reconnecting of the iPad2 gives again 3-5 seconds of an ok picture on the projector.
    After this time the projector loses the signal again.
    did a reset of the iPad twice with no effect.
    got the effect with different projectors.
    any help appreciated
    kind regards
    Michael

    Copied from the link you provided with troubleshooting steps for this.
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on or off after attempting these steps, contact Apple or your wireless carrier for additional assistance.

  • HT4108 Vga adapter for ipad not supported

    I've been using the vga adapter with a projector, but of late I've not been able to use it with my ipad2.

    Hi nlrutt,
    You do not mention whether your issue - a 30 pin to VGA adapter not working with your iPad - is with an Apple adapter or not. I will assume that it is and therefore it should function correctly.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    Specifically -
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Is the Apple Digital AV Adapter  and the Apple VGA Adapter the same thing

    is the Apple Digital AV Adapter  and the Apple VGA Adapter the same thing i want to get a ipad and i want to no if there the same thing before i buy it i would want it for the web for pic but for videos too

    VGA is an analog signal, while HDMI is an uncompressed digital image. 
    The uncompressed digital image is more superior.

    Everywhere that I've checked it is not possible to do this. I would like to even do this using the vkb. I hate having to stretch my thumb all the way up just to send a message. It's messaging, not a report or email. Seems backwards. Hopefully some day Apple can add this option.

    Work with what on ATV?  If you can get a current enough version of iOS to support AirPlay that would work.  The Remote app would work.  What are you specificly asking about?

  • VGA adapter splitter? 1 external monitor for desktop and macbook

    I recently bought the Apple VGA adapter and it works great with my macbook and external monitor. However I use that same external monitor with my desktop PC. It's becoming a pain to constantly unscrew and plug out the VGA cable. So I'm trying to find a VGA splitter that has 2 male ends and 1 female end, but I'm not sure if something like that even exists. Basically I want to be able to use my external monitor with my macbook and pc without having to unplug the monitor's vga cable from my desktop. If anyone can give any suggestions that'd be great. Thanks!

    You shouldn't try a splitter cable as you would have interference from the two signals. You need a VGA switch box like one of these.

    You can't merge accounts, if you start using the gmail account for iCloud by logging out of the me ID in system preferences and back in using the gmail ID, you'll need to copy all your data in calendars etc to the gmail account. you also won't be able to use the me address for mail unless you add the me account as a secondary account at system preferences > mail, contacts and calendars.

    Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).
