Cannot connect iPad Air to VGA Monitor

Hi,
I received n Ipad Air for Christmas so gave away my old gen 1 Ipad, now I am beginning to wish I hadnt as there are so many problems!
One I am trying to resolve right now is very iportan as I have aconference to attend and need to connect the ipad to a std PC VGA monitor to output video (I cannot use airdisplay or wireless connectivity). I have a STD PC monitor here which worked fine ith my 1st Gen Ipad and i bought a lightnng convertor for my VGA adaptor but hen connected ot the mobitor I get nothing. Have tried every permutation of on/off of monitor and Ipad to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thank you
Elizabeth

Hi,
sorry, to  clarify, I had an adaptor for my Gen 1 Ipad to VGA and that used to work fine, when I got the Ipad Air the Apple store sold me a lightning adaptor which goes from the Ipad Air to the Gen 1 VGA adaptor and I pug the VGA cale into that original Gen 2 Adaptor, does that make sense now? The idea being so that I could use the orginal VGA adaptor from my Gen1 Ipad which was a much cheaper option hat buying a whole new adaptor. Do you think I was sold the wrong thing then?
thanks
Elizabeth

    You would need to find a 3rd party dispay extender app to accomplish this. The results may or may not be acceptable to you.

  • I cannot connect ipad to Wifi though other PC's are connecting are OK.  It was connected to this wifi previously

    I cannot connect ipad to Wifi though my other PC is connecting to the same network.  It is an IPad one and previously automatically connected to this network but has suddenly stopped even after rebooting the router etc still does not work?  Any ideas from the smart people out there please?

    Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections  http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
    Also try this - Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.

  • Connect Ipad Air to CRT TV

    Hi,
    I have a Ipad Air and i want to connect it to my old TV. I look to a component AV cable and seems that only works with old Ipad versions.
    Is there any cable that suport that kind of connection?
    I have a Sony CRT TV.
    Thank You

    You might look to see if there's some sort of converter or adapter. I don't have a lot of experience with Apple TV so not sure what outputs it has, but there may be gadgets or gizmos that might help.
    Do you have a Radio Shack or similar around? Might be a place to look.
    No guarantee if what you cobble together may work though. A low end flat screen TV is less than $200, so you may need to weigh the cost of macgyvering something vs buying a TV that accommodates the supported iPad outputs.

    If your location does’t have wifi to use with the Apple TV, use a portable router.

  • Cannot connect ipad mini 2 to TP link extender

    The extender is syncd with PC with sky broadband and boosts signal around house (works well) but Ipad cannot connect to TP link and defaults to the PC Router and does not recognise TP link

    I feel you should become more specific in what you like to do with the HDD / HDD contents.
    Do you like to use iTunes on the iPad to access media files on the HDD?
    Do you want to use another media player (like VLC) to access media files? DLNA?
    Do you want o share data files through the HDD?
    I assume you already connected the HDD to the USB port of your wireless router and enabled sharing for the HDD (most routers allow to enable DLNA or other NAS functions for USB attached HDDs)?

  • Cannot sync ipad Air with new computer running windows 8

    With new computer (HP Envy 27) running with windows 8, I have the latest iTunes installed, and successfully transferred my itunes library (books, music, TV programs, podcasts etc) to the new computer.  I've tried multiple times to sync my iPad Air with no success.  Only the Podcasts and Apps have been synched.  No TV programs, and only a few music albums and books came across, despite the fact I selected the albums and books to synch individually.  Can anyone help please?

    Since you are able to sync some content and not all, I would first unsync (uncheck the box and hit apply) for a category (lets say books), then go back and re-sync (check the box again) and select just one item that did not sync before.  If it syncs then you know it's not the content.
    If it doesn't sync, then you will have to do a little more testing to see what it is, like trying to sync from a new library or new user.
    Also, verify in itunes what's on the iPad by showing the sidebar and clicking the arrow next to the iPad on that sidebar.  You can see what has made it onto the iPad.  If its on the iPad there, but not showing up in the proper place on the iPad's screen (like books in iBooks) then you will need to troubleshoot the device up to maybe even restoring it as new.

  • Cannot connect Macbook Air to Samsung TV via HDMI

    Hello, I have been completely unable to get my Macbook Air (13-inch, Mid 2011, running OS X 10.9.1) to connect to my new Samsung TV (UN32EH5000F)  I feel like I have tried everything I can think of, have spent hours now looking for a solution online.  I also consulted Samsung tech support, who were not helpful in that they insisted the problem is with my Macbook (because the HDMI port on the TV works when I hook up my DVD player).
    I'm trying to connect my Macbook Air to the TV using a Mini DisplayPort (Thunderbolt Compatible) to HDMI cable.  I have gotten the connection to work on my LG monitor (via the same HDMI cable), but this did require some switching back and forth between sources before it would appear as an external monitor on my Mac and doesn’t seem to work reliably.  Sometimes I can get the LG monitor to work as an external display over HDMI and sometimes I can’t. 
    I have also gotten the TV to work ONCE on my Macbook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008, running 10.9) by plugging the cable into the Mini DisplayPort while the computer was asleep.  I have not been able to replicate this in many tries since that first time.
    When I insert either end of the cable (either into the TV or the Macbook Air), the screen flashes as if recognizing that the cable is plugged in, but the TV always says "No Signal." 
    I have also tried:
    Every possible combination of plugging in cables
    Shutting down my Mac and the TV and rebooting
    Switching the source on my TV back and forth
    Plugging the HDMI cable into both ports on the TV
    Changing the name of the HDMI source on my TV (to available options like "PC", "DVI", "DVI PC", etc.)
    Battery power and AC adaptor
    Resetting the PRAM and the SMC
    Using the Option button in Display preferences to click “Detect Displays”
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Connecting Mac Air to AOC monitor

    Hi
    My AOC monitor (USB) won't connect to my Mac Air. When I plug the monitor, the AOC logo comes on, then nothing.
    It works great with my MacBook Pro.
    I read a bunch of various ideas about it (including some that say that it works fine with Air) but can't find my solution.
    thanks for your help!!

    You have it set up as an extended desktop rather than mirroring. That means you can drag a window from your MBP onto that monitor. It's like an extension of the existing monitor. If you want mirroring, which shows the same on both, go to Displays in System Preferences and change it.

  • Cannot connect Ipad and B1IF via HTTPS (B1 8.81 PL4)

    Hello
    I have installed sap business one 8.81 PL4 on a windows 7 x64 with integration services (AKA B1if) to access by iPad.
    I follow the installation manual to access by https required by 8.81 but, when starting the application on iPad, after inserting password, the appllication remains in stand by waiting the server connection.
    The same configuration on sap business one 8.8 PL 20 without https works properly.

    Same Problem here.
    the B1AuthLog says
