Apple VGA adaptor

Hi all, I bought the apple VGA adapter to connect my iPad 1 to projector and tv.  It does not let me see the Internet.  Any ideas?

To see the Internet you would need mirroring. Mirroring is only available on the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S as described in the item description for the Apple VGA adapter:  http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC552ZM/B

  • Understanding iPAD VGA adaptors

    Hi All,
    I got into a very embarrasing situation where we wanted to show an ipad app to 40 participants which did not work.  I was using the apple VGA adaptor. 
    I tried it with iPAD1 and it did not work at all and then I tried it with an iPAD2 and it works only 2 out of 10 times. 
    I will need to do a roadshow where I will need to use my iPAD1 to display the app over the LCD projectors over VGA and wanted to find if there is a possibility to make it work flawlessly.  Please let me know if there are any limitations with iPAD1 and if it will flawlessly with iPAD2 or iPAD3.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    The ipad1 will only show apps that are specifically designed for VGA display.
    The newer iPads should show all apps through a VGA display, except for some where that capability was deliberately removed by the developer (generally media providers).

  • No Apple Remote or Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adaptor included with new MacBooks

    Hi!
    I just picked up a new (black) MacBook yesterday from the Apple Retail Store in Meadowhall (Sheffield). I was quite surprised to open the box and find that the Apple Remote and Mini-DVI to VGA adaptor cable are now optional items and no longer included in the package. Okay, they're not expensive (an extra £30.00 to add both of them), but I just thought I'd mention it to let potential customers know.
    I have to say that I'm very pleased at the speed bump and the 250GB hard drive though (you can never have too much space). Also good to have 2GB RAM out of the box (rather than paying an extra £90.00 for the 2GB model). Excellent!

    bford0001 - 15% restocking fee? Did you buy it from an Apple Retail store? I bought a black MacBook from them just under two weeks ago (a 2.2 with 160GB HD and 2GB RAM) and they let me take it back and walk out of the store without charging me anything!
    One other thing I have noticed - why has the L2 cache dropped to 3MB from 4MB? I know the processor is more powerful, but doesn't that mean it would just about level out, because of the reduction? I noticed the same for the £1,299.00 MacBook Pro and that on the other two models, it's gone up to 6MB. Anyone know how this would change the performance?

  • Poor colour depth/banding with Apple Mini-DisplayPort-to-VGA adaptor?

    I'm using the Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor to hook my MBP up to a projector in the theatre where I give lectures.
    I am getting colour depth/ banding issues - images seem to be displayed in thousands of colours, rather than millions, creating really bad banding problems.
    I know it isn't an issue with the projector - for comparison purposes I tried playing a DVD through a DVD player connected to the projector, and then through the MBP connected to the projector, and the diference in colour depth was really noticeable. In fact it was virtually unwatchable through the MBP.
    Is there a preference pane I'm missing somewhere which will increase the colour depth?
    Is there a better adaptor than the Apple one that I need to buy?
    Or is this a problem inherent in the minidisplay port to VGA conversion process?
    Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    If your monitor has DVI input, get the DVI adapter. DisplayPort is digital, DVI is digital, but VGA is analog - the signal conversion will result in a (slight) drop in quality.

  • Mac mini with Apple Mini Display to VGA adaptor

    Hello,
    I have just purchased a new i5 mac mini, and have started to use it with an HDMI TV. This is great, but I really want to go back to using just my VGA monitor, which is an LGFlatron W2243S.
    So, today, with the HDMI plugged in, I put a Apple Mini Display Port to VGA adaptor into the back of the mac mini, hooked it up to the monitor and great. The monitor was recognised, and it actually appeared as a second display.
    But then, I pulled out the HDMI lead, and that was the start of the trouble. I now cannot get the LG monitor to work - instead it goes into power saving mode. I have proven the VGA cable, and also noted that the display settings do detect the monitor, but it just keeps going into power saving mode.
    Reading on the internet I've found talk of the power from the mini display port being a possible problem.
    At the moment then, the HDMI is still plugged in. Any advice on any settings I should be using to get the mini display -> VGA adaptor to work with the monitor? It is obviously working in some form (a) because I can't believe apple would continue to sell a dud product and (b) because it did occur briefly as a second monitor.

    I've got some more information which I'm hoping might enable someone somewhere to help!!
    So, I've just connected up the monitor again, with success. Both the HDMI and VGA monitor as mirrorred displays.
    Then, I removed the HDMI connection, and the VGA monitor stayed on. I was also able to change the resolution successfully on the VGA monitor.
    Then I restarted the system. The VGA monitor went into standby and wouldn't wake up from power saving mode (therefore was not able to see the password screen).
    Plugged the HDMI back in (as well as the VGA) and restarted. Password screen came up on the HDMI screen. OS started up as normal, then the VGA screen came back to life on mirrored display.
    So there is some level of success occuring now, except on restart. It seems as once the OS loads, it sends the signal to the VGA to switch on, but not on the password screen. Note that I do not want the HDMI screen connected - just the VGA. It's really a TV and I want to use it elsewhere.
    I also downloaded the DP to VGA firmware update, but even with everything plugged in (and ironically with the VGA on and working!) it says that it cannot find a DP to VGA adaptor!!
    This all suggests to me that things work, but that there's something I'm not quite doing right somewhere. My PC connects to the VGA monitor fine, and comes on at power up.
    Thanks in hope.

  • IPad 3.2.1 update will no longer let me use the apple iphone VGA adaptor?

    Has anyone else have this problem. I was using the apple iphone VGA adaptor I purchased from apple for $49 on my iPad, but since the update I can no longer use it? I dont know if anyone else is having this problem, I don't know if Apple purposely put an update to force you to purchase the "iPad VGA Connector", but if they did thats just plain messed up.

    Welcome to this forum. This is a BT domestic customer to customer help forum, any messages posted here do not go to BT.
    Can you try the modem plugged directly into the master socket without any ADSL filters. You will lose your broadband connection during the test, but it will eliminate any problem with the BT Home hub, or the microfilter.
    ADSL does not start until 30kHz, which is well above the range that an analogue modem works at.

  • I am not able to connect my iPad 1 with TV using apple VGA adapter

    Hello,
    When I connect my iPad 1 with a wide screen TV using the apple VGA connector, there's no display on the TV.
    But when I do the same thing from iPad 2, the iPad screen is projected on TV.
    Please help

    Sounds like the one common thing is the adapter. The cheaper, non apple branded ones tend to fail.
    Try another adaptor before worrying about your ipad.

  • Which VGA adaptor for my Intel Core 2 Duo iMac?

    Hi folks... new to this forum. I'm looking to hook up my 20" iMac to a 2nd monitor (it’s a 20” Samsung VGA).
    I’m very confused... So far, I've bought 2 different adaptors (neither of which fit the iMac):
    Apple Mini DVI to VGA Adapter (which is listed as ”suitable for iMac Intel Core Duo”)
    http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M9320G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg3Ng
    Apple Mini VGA to VGA adaptor (which is listed as "suitable for iMac flat screen")
    http://store.apple.com/ie/product/M8639G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5OQ&mco=MjE0NTg4Mg
    Can anybody enlighten me which adaptor I need?... my iMac is a 20” iMac Core 2 Duo & I bought it new in April 2008.
    Thanks!

    Perhaps is was packaged or repackaged incorrectly, because that is the correct adapter part # for the Intel iMac's including the Early 2008 model.

  • Using a VGA monitor with Mac Pro: DVI to VGA adaptor cord & X1900 card

    I will be purchasing the MacPro with the ATI Radeon X1900 XT. However, I want to continue using my dual Viewsonic CRT screens till the end of the year until I make the leap to a new LCD display. I know Apple sells a DVI to VGA connector and in fact I believe it to be included as an accessory.
    Here is my question:
    The graphics card I am buying (the X1900) is designated as a DUAL LINK DVI. The Apple DVI to VGA adaptor cord has a DVI -I SINGLE LINK male connector. Will this DVI-I single link connector properly mate to the female dual link connector on the X1900 graphics card? If it will, I'm probably in business. If it won't, does anyone have an idea for a workaround?
    Many thanks, John

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor not Mirroring

    13-inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) running 10.8.3
    Monoprice Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptors freeze the system (no issues with Monoprice Mini DisplayPort to DVI connected to monitor) so I tried an Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor and that works ok, EXCEPT it doesnt automatically mirror to projectors like older models I have used.
    Is the 13-inch MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) supposed to auto mirror when connected to projectors using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    I havent had a chance to test, yet it looks like if I create the settings for mirroring when the projector is attached to the laptop, the setting should stick moving forward..  I thought it just auto-sensed.  Will try and report back here if there are any changes or to solve the ticket...

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor : Gateway Monitor FPD1760 - Compatible ?

    Hi. Is the Apple, Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor compatible with Gateway Monitors?, I own a Gateway FPD1760 (Specs : http://www.dealtime.com/xPF-Gateway-Gateway-Monitor-FPD1760).
    Just wanted to know if I should be going with Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adaptor or) Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter, as I have heard too many complaints about the former.
    Thanks in advance

    If your monitor has DVI input, get the DVI adapter. DisplayPort is digital, DVI is digital, but VGA is analog - the signal conversion will result in a (slight) drop in quality.

  • Using second display via eMac's mini-DVI to VGA adaptor

    Hi,
    I've got a 19inch widescreen display from Acer, model no. AL1916W. I have apple's mini-DVI to VGA adaptor and have connected the second display to the point where it mirrors the screen on my eMac, however I don't want it to do this.
    What I had intended is that the second display would act as an extension of my eMacs screen, so I can drag windows across for extra space. Is this possible with the eMac?
    Put more specifically, I want to be able to put logic's main (arrange) window on the Acer widescreen, and then have whatever else on the eMacs screen? Is there a workaround to do this?
    help much appreciated,
    Toby

    Hi,
    It's funny you should send me that link, I actually found that a couple of hours after posting this and tried it. It worked perfectly, I now have the widescreen running in it's native resolution and working as a separate screen which I can drag stuff in and out of. I came back on here to mark the question as 'answered' but I couldn't find how.
    thanks for your help,
    Toby

  • Which mini DVI to VGA adaptor?

    I have an 800MHz flat screen with a broken display.
    I have an old monitor with a VGA cable, but I can't find the correct cable to connect between the iMac and the VGA plug.
    I have a mini dvi to VGA adaptor, but it's not correct in that the mini DVI end is female on both the computer and the adaptor chord I have ):
    Can someone point me to the correct adaptor cable?
    Thanks,
    Luke

    Hey Luke,
    What you need is the mini VGA to VGA adapter like here:

    If you buy it at the Apple store make sure they understand that that's the adapter you need and for what machine you need to use it on. Then if they give you the wrong one you can take it back.
    On a separate tack I had a problem with the socket on a 800 17" that had come off the logic board. Symptom was no video no picture but worked fine with external adapter (mine had to be jiggled a bit to get it to work). I just sent it to Superior Reball to have it resoldered. Cost $51 plus shipping one way. That would take someone knowledgeable to take the iMac apart.
