Connect to projector, Connect to projector

After receiving an Apple TV for Christmas I want to add it to my existing setup which is as follows:
Sky HD box connected to a HDMI converter to component video
Component video input into Sony VPL HS20 projector
Works great at either 720p or 1080i resolutions output by sky box
Trouble is, when I plug the Apple TV directly into a telly it work perfectly
But
When I plug it into the HDMI convertor I get nothing on the projector
I have tried EVERYTHING I can think of, every resolution starting at the lowest and working up, and changing the HDMI output format RBG high or low or ypbpr.
All I get is a "frequency is out of range" message on the projector at every combination of resolution/quality!
I'm starting to get annoyed now!
Can anyone tell me why one works perfectly and the other not at all?!
Thanks in advance!

Hi Sandcloud,
Do you have a laptop you could plug in to the projector? If so, I recommend using a program called Reflector to wirelessly display your iPads to your computer. With your computer connected to the projector you can project your iPads to the projector via your computer. Many of our teachers and students use Reflector to display their iPads to the projector. No problem switching from one iPad to the next, or even showing multiple iPad images at once.
Hope this helps!
~Joe

    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.

  • Problem connecting an external display or projector to Retina Macbook Pro

    I have a problem with my rMBP (MAC OS:10.8.2) and i'm not sure if it is just an easy fix or if there is a serious hardware issue.
    I connect my rMBP to an external projector Hitachi CPX3011 (max resolution 1600x1200) very often for my presentation.
    I use a Thunderbolt port to mini display port to VGA adapter to connect my laptop to this projector.
    When I plug it into my projector the screen on my rMBP goes black and nothing shows up on the projector.
    I try both of the Thunderbolt port, the rMBP switches resolutions and goes back
    I called Apple, but the guy just told me to they never encounter this before, (case number 368401545).
    Is there something that I am missing here???
    Or do you guys think that my Thunderbolt port could be faulty.
    By the way, just to be a little more descriptive. When I connect my projector to my rMBP on the port that doesn't work, my screen immediately turns black. I can still see my mouse pointer, but its incredibly HUGE. About the size of a dime.
    Please help if you can. I really appreciate it. Check out the video for this problem.

    I had the similar problem but it was specific to running windows 7 through bootcamp.  The only way i was able to get the laptop to work with a projector was by purchasing a USB 3 to Vga dongle (essentially an external graphics card)

  • Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation  at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. HELP!

    Difficulty using a projector. I have a MBP 17" and am running 10.6.8. Often I need to make a Powerpoint or other presentation  at a client and I want to connect my computer to their projector. Either it won't display on the projector at all. Once it displayed but the presentation mode was on the big screen and the presentation I wanted to show was on my MBP screen. I have the adapter( white ones) to attached to the projector cables.  I am so frsutrated...it looks so silly not to have a computer work during a presentation..
    Another problem one the rare occasion that it shows on the screen is that the presentation does show just my desk top.  Any ideas?
    Thanks !

    You often have to turn off Mirroring to be able to set the second "screen"s resolution to something reasonable. When you do, the two screens become an "Exceeded Desktop" joined along one edge, and the Arrange pane in displays prefs can allow you to specify what edge. Initially, it will show a vacant extension of the built-in screen's desktop.
    The mouse moves freely across that shared edge, and can allow you to drag the presentation window across to the the projector screen and re-size it to fit.

  • Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Hey MarieF-D,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
    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.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Connecting macbook pro to hdmi projector

    Trying to hook up a mac book pro to an epson projector with hdmi cord to a mini display to hdmi converter but it is not recognizing anything? I want to watch movies purchased on Itunes on the projector screen with the projector or on the 1080p tv I have. This is frustrating!

    The first thing is to rule out the adapter before pulling your hair out.  Try connecting to another display or projector to see if that works.  If it doesn't, the adapter is suspect.

  • How do I connect my iPad to a projector?

  • I have want to connect my laptop to a projector but it dosnt work, how do I do it?

    I have want to connect my laptop to a projector but it dosnt work, how do I do it?

    Hi! In order to connect a macbook pro to a projector you will need to purchase this cable and attack it to the cable from the projector. This way you have a connector that can be plugged into your computer:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
    If you already own this cable and are having problems mirroring the display from your computer on the projector screen, go to system preferences>displays and then hit arrangement tab (note: this will only appear if the projector or external monitor is attached) and then hit the checkbox that says mirror display.
    If you are having other problems, please elaborate so that I can provide a better answer.

  • 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.

  • IPod classic-projector connection through VGA adapter

    Can I connect iPod classic to a projector using VGA adapter?

    Do a Hard Reset, while connected to the Clarion, hopefully your iPod is fully charged
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the Red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.
