Connect ipad 2 to projector?

I bought the Scosche video cables for my ipad to connect it to a projector at school. However, the projector will not recognize the ipad. Am I supposed to download a certain app? I was told to download a VGA app by a coworker but I am not using VGA cables. Thanks!

Apple makes cables that go to the 30-pin dock connector and a display device, They come in HDMI, VGA, composite and component. However, not all projects are compatible with this setup.  You shouldn't need any special apps.

    Hi
    How can I connect my iPad to a VGA projector to play my presentation?
    Thank you

    Hey guys,
    If you need to show a web page during your presentations you should give Expedition-The VGA out browser for iPad a try. It lets you show a web browser on the projector screen and can even play HTML5 video on a page on the projector. Also has a laser pointer feature just like keynote.
    Here's a video of it in action:

    Here's a link to it in the appstore

    You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

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

  • How do connect iPad wireless to a projector for use in classroom?

    I want to be able to utilize my iPad in the classroom as I would an airtablet.  Is there a way to do this?

    Probably the simplest way, if you want to remain wireless (not be cabled to the projector) is to buy an AppleTV and use Airplay to mirror the iPad to the projector that way. AppleTVs have HDMI outputs, so if your projector has that connection, you just need an HDMI cable - otherwise, you will probably need an HDMI-VGA adaptor.

  • Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth

    Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth, if so what projectors, My situation is that I want to connect my Ipad3 wireless to a projector where there is no wifi available so the apple TV and airplay won't work.

    No.
    If you have an Apple TV, get an Apple Airport Express wireless router which is small enough to fit on your pocket. You can set up a wireless network without having to have internet for your iPad and Apple TV to be connected to.
    Or use a wired connection.

  • Connecting iPad 2 to a projector

    I recently purchased an iPad 2 to use in the classroom with a projector.  I am using the VGA adapter sold by apple with a standard VGA male to male cable to make a connection to a wall plate.  I am getting a signal but it drops out periodically and then it comes back.  It is not a consistent duration or frequency.  What I was wondering is is there a maximum distance using standard VGA that the iPad is able to push its signal.
    I did check to see if the iPad were connected directly to the projector (which is not an option for normal operation) and it works fine.  When I connect a computer to the wall plate there is no signal interruption so it doesnt see to be a problem with the wiring in the wall.
    HELP

    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.

  • Connecting iPad to Projector - Panasonic PT-D5700 - Video "Jumps"

    When connecting the iPad and iPad 2 via VGA connector to a Panasonic PT-D5700 projector, the video "jumps" at a regular interval of about 1.5 seconds in between each jump.
    Has anyone else had issues connecting to projectors?
    I was able to find a work around - I took the VGA connection from the iPad into an aux input on a document camera, then used the output from the doc cam and that seemed to clean up the signal and did elimate the jumping.  I have made this work with one brand of document camera, but not on another.
    The VGA out of the iPad to a Plasma or LCD has worked with no issue, so I can only assume it is some sort of refresh or signal mismatch between the iPad and the projector.
    If anyone has any info to share it is appreciated.
    Thanks

    That's no guarantee. Check this list and make sure your mini is supported.

    If your Bose can switch HDMI, why not get a DVI to HDMI cable and use that between the mini and the Bose? The picture quality will be lightyears better.

  • Connecting ipad to projector

    I am trying to show my imovie on my ipad on a projector. When I connect the VGA cable the top border lights up blue but soon disconnects.

    You need to buy an apple digital av adapter which is for a hdmi connection or an apple vga adapter for a vga connection.

  • Will an iPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector?

    Will an IPad mini with retina display connect to a digital projector for presentations?

    Yes, certainly. Depending on the projector's inputs, you'll need one of these adapters:

    or a third-party equivalent.

  • Connect ipad to projector or PC

    I teach in a classroom that has a PC connected to an Epson projector. I would like to use an ipad app (such as explain everything) to record audio/video of me working problems in class.  At the same time I'd like the ipad screen to be projected by the Epson projector.  I'm not sure if the projector has wireless capabilities, but it may.  If so, is there a way to connect the ipad to the projector wirelessly?  The other possible option is to connect the ipad to the PC wirelessly (I don't want my ipad tethered to anything), then the PC connects to the projector.  Can anyone give me pointers on whether any of this is possible and if so, what is the best approach?

    The only way, I believe, to connect an iPad wirelessly to a projector is by connecting an AppleTV to the projector - and I don't think most projectors have the correct input for it.
    You can use a number of apps to control the computer through the ipad. There are a few apps that are designed to replicate an interactive whiteboard. One I'm trying is Splashtop Whiteboard - it allows you to use the iPad to annotate over an image on the computer and then project it, or to even use their own flipboard as a background to writing. This would, in theory, allow you to do your work directly on the iPad and send it to the projector through the computer. I say in theory because we are having problems with it, both the app itself and then running it through a whiteboard projector - I've been working with a tech support rep at Splashtop to see if we can resolve it before I can decide whether to recommend to other teachers, as right now I can't - but other people apparently are using it succesfully.
    Another app that has similar promise (and higher reviews!) is Doceri Remote. The app is free, but the desktop software is not - $50 (the splashtop app is $20), plus they strongly recommend their proprietary stylus. Because they sell the computer software and not the app, however, you can do a trial - 5 days, I believe, we're going to give it a try after winter break. You can also, I believe, record your presentation using Doceri.
    For recording ... while Doceri promises it, it might be easier to use a Screencast software (such as Jing) to record it on the computer - if you're using one of these apps to control the computer and project out, anything on the computer will be recorded by Jing and then you can share it later.

  • Wirelessly connect ipad to projector

    I am a teacher and am looking to buy and ipad for my classroom.  Another teacher in my building uses an app on her ipad to record notes and upload them to a website for students.  Right now, she can connect her ipad to a projector with a cord but has to stay stationary.  I would like to know if there is a way to wirelessly connect the ipad to the projector.  Maybe by using an Apple TV?  This would allow me to walk around the classroom.  Any suggestions would be helpful.  Thank you.

    Connecting to a projector does require a cable.
    Your Apple TV idea could work, if the TV was at the front of the room, both are connected to Wi-Fi and you can use mirroring for the display.

  • Where do i get the cable to connect Ipad to projector?

    Where do I get the cable to connect Ipad2 to digital projector?

    It depends on the kind of projector you refer to. If the projector has a VGA connection, you will need this  cable.
    If the projector has a HDMI connection, you will need this one.
    If you can choose, I would take the HDMI one, since it supports charging your device and playing at the same time. HDMI also carries sound, so you don't need an extra audio cable.
    You will need an additional HDMI-male to HDMI-male or VGA-male to VGA-male cable to connect the apple cable (linked above) to your projector.
