Charging iPad while using VGA projector

I know that I can get the new HDMI cable and an HDMI-to-VGA adapter off ebay and hypothetically it will work... but has anybody actually tried this with success???
thanks!

As I understand the HDMI to VGA adapters, they are sending a signal to the device's video chip/card to change from the default digital signal to an analog signal. I have my doubts about this working if you piggyback the two together.
YMMV.

Charge IPad while using the Adapter

Hi, is there a way to charge the IPad and at the same time using the VGA adapter to connect it to the overhead projector? Like a switch or a double adapter...dunno... Thanks everybody

The VGA adapter has a lightning plug on one end which goes into your iPad, and a VGA port as well as a lightning port on the other end. You can plug the lightning to USB cable that came with your iPad into that port to charge it.

How to connect the iPad to a VGA projector

I read the comments about using the iPad with a VGA projector for presentations, but those were for the original iPad. My association is asking me to present a live demonstration of the new iPad 2. I tested the iPad 2 with the digital connector to HDMI on my TV and that works great. I can move around all the screens on my iPad and even play Angry Birds.
But what about connecting this iPad 2 to a VGA projector? All the earlier comments referred to that process as "very limited" with only a few apps running on it, like Keynote. That won't do for my presentation. Is there a solution or does the new iPad 2 fully support a standard (read old) VGA projector?
Thank you for your replies.

It is my understanding that the dgital adapter will give you full video mirroring over HDMI from the iPad 2, although there are some reported models of TVs and projectors that have issues, but that analog signaling, such as VGA, is limited to apps specifically written to provide access to that type of video connection.

Charge Thunderbolt while using Kickstand...

I read about a solution work around for not being able to charge device while using kickstand because the plug is on the bottom, check this out because it looks like the new Photon 4G kickstand solutions works for the Thunderbolt also....

Wildman,
Not trying to be adversarial, but that is about the Motorola Proton and I'm not sure how that pertains to the Thunderbolt. I have never been able to get my TBolt kickstand to support the phone with the charging port at the top. I use the Verizon extended battery and have the Seidio surface case for it. It has it's own built in kickstand that does support it in landscape with the charging port at the top, allowing me to charge the phone while in the landscape position.
Did I miss something?

App for Editing Excel/Numbers document while using VGA/iPad/Projector

Is there an app that will allow you to edit a spreadsheet while it is projected using the VGA adapter with an iPad connected to a projector? For example, you are doing a budget in a meeting room using the iPad and a projector, and you need to change the entries on a spreadsheet to reflect a change that a group of people choose to make.
I know GoodReader, for example, gives you the VGA out option, so the spreadsheet can be projected, I just need something that allows me to change the document. It would be great if Pages and Numbers offered a VGA out option for this purpose.

There is no app that will accomplish what you want to do.
You can send feedback to Apple here and request this ability: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Connecting New iPad (3) to vga projector

Hi everyone
Has anyone tried connecting a New iPad (3) to a projector using the vga adaptor?
From what i've read, most projectors have a resolution of around 1028 x 768.
What happens if you connect the New iPad, with it's 2048 x 1536 resolution, to a vga projector with a lower resolution? (using the Apple vga connector).
I would like to show keynote app presentations on a vga projector, but i'm worried that if I use the New iPad (3) that some of the image will be missing?
Help?
Thanks

Does anyone know why the display on the LCD projector is not 1028x768. I have 2 black bands on each side. This is output from iPad3 using the VGA adaptor. It was working fine a day earlier, with 1028.x768. I used another application called Web Presenter and that works fine, with the option to choose external display setting.

Display noise after using VGA projector

I taught two terms at the university using my MB Air 2012 with a VGA projector. Each time I connected the Mac to the projector and took it off, there was random noise on the display. I considered it as normal. Now the lessons are over and I don't use the projector any more. However, every time I turn on the Mac and when I shut it down, I see the same noise on the display. Otherwise, there are no problems.
Is there a way to get rid of that noise?

Possible to charge iPod while using Video out option?

I've read that you can use video out while maintaining its charge by simply 'ejecting' the iPod from Windows (but maintaining the physical cable connection).
But what about using a generic wall charger? Such as this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009T81YE/qid=1146811575/sr=8-1/ref=pdbbs1/103-4014541-7815810?%5Fencoding=UTF8&v=glance&n=301185
Or even using apple's official wall charger? With one of these pieces of equipment is the iPod locked in "do not disconnect" mode? Or is it free to be used?
I hope someone can get back to me soon! Thanx
Windows XP Pro

using the wall charger does not put up the "do not disconnect" screen. thats only wen its connected to a computer. so yes u can keep ur ipod on charge while using the video out.

Have my mother's iPad 1... She passed away... I do not want to lose what is on the iPad while using my own APPLE ID.. HOW CAN I DO THIS???

Dear Anyone who can help me,
I inherited my mothers iPad version 1 after my mother passed away.
Before she passed away, I had downloaded numerous books that I NEED to keep on the iPad.
I now have MY OWN APPLE ID.
How can I use this iPad "USING MY APPLE ID" "WITHOUT LOSING" what is currently on the iPad???
I want to add more books to it as soon as possible but I do not want to risk losing any of the numerous books I currently have on it....
PLEASE HELP ME....
Thank You,
Steve

I'm sorry for the loss of your mother.
You will not lose anything that you downloaded with her Apple ID if you start using another Apple ID, but you will always need to use her old ID and password in order to update apps or download her purchased content again. When you switch Apple ID's back and forth on a device, you can lock yourself out of one of the ID's for 90 days if you download past purchases with the other ID.
You can read more about that here.

Can I use 1600x900 res while using VGA ?

I have a new Mac Mini (2012) and I'm connecting it to a Viewsonic VA20137m-LED monitor. Both units say they'll support 1600x900 resolution, however, that option doesn't appear for me in the preferences / settings. I'm using a VGA cable to connect the two. Does anyone know why my proper resolution setting (1600x900) isn't available to me with this configuration?
Thanks,

What adapter are you using for VGA..?
If you have the following > VA2037m-LED - 20” (19.5” Vis) Widescreen LED monitor, then it has both DVI and VGA inputs.
I would get a DVI cable and use the Apple supplied HDMI to DVI adapte, the DVI cable connected to the rmonitors DVI input.

Listening to iPod on iPad while using another app or safari

Is there a way to leave safari and go back to the iPod controls without using the ipads home button?

I mentioned this in another thread, but if you're using the iPhone headset, the click button works the same way on the iPad. Click once to pause, double-click to skip to the next track.
That applies to the older headset that works with the 3G, I'm not sure what the 3GS/4 headset does.

My itune's songs won't play on my iPad while using home sharing

I have the New iPad. As soon as I got it, I activated the home sharing on my notebook's itunes (I use Windows 7), and it was working ok. Recently, I had to format my notebook. Then, I reinstalled itunes and re-activated the home sharing, but there's something wrong. My song library shows up on my ipad, but when I try to play them, they won't play. No sound comes out, and the player bar won't go further than 0:00 secs. I tried reseting the app and rebooting the iPad. Other sounds (eg videos, internet etc) are being played normally. What could be wrong?

Make sure the anti virus or fire wall isnt blocking it make sure on itunes you have the comptuer authorized
-Itunes>Advanced/Store>authorize computer>Turn on home sharing and make sure the apple id is the same as whats on the ipad as well.
