Connecting Ipad to a Monitor?

Are you able to connect Ipad to a LED monitor with a DVI plug? We have an Apple digital AV adapter which does not provide the correct fitting for a DVI. And a DVI adapter which does not fit the Ipad2. Any ideas?

The Digital AV adapter has an HDMI connector, so an HDMI to DVI adapter should work.
Regards.

Having problems connecting iPad 4S to monitor with Apple adapter and HDMI cable.

Purchased an Apple adapter to connect to an HDMI cable. The connections were secure and the image on the iPad was duplicated on the monitor; however, there was a lot of "snow" on the monitor. I tried turning off the power to the iPad and then starting back up, but that didn't work. Once when checking the connections the image cleared for a few seconds, but then the "snow" came back. Any ideas?

sounds like either an issue with the HDMi cable, or the connection at the TV possibly.
Try another HDMI port on your TV if there is one, or a different cable.

Thank you, Kappy, for your help and advice. I sent for the 30 pin connector and cable, and it is working brilliantly (after having been delayed in the post). I am delighted with it. THANKS

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 have an iPad 2 that I want to use with video mirroring to give lectures with. I bought a VGA Adapter for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod as I want to be able to connect with any TV, monitor or projector for lectures, not just an HD device..

Can I use my iPad as a monitor for my iMac?

I have an '06 model iMac running OS Lion. Recently the screen gave up and it is difficult to see pictures. I took it to the apple store and had it tested. The good news is it is just the display, not the video card. The bad news is I don't have another monitor I can use at this time. I was wondering if there is a way I can use my iPad 3 to take the place of a monitor. I want to mirror the image I see on the screen to the iPad. I wouldn't mind if it were done while connected to the iMac as I prefer using the keyboard as opposed to the touch screen. I just need a make shift monitor until I get a new mac (soon I hope).

Yes, there are a couple of apps that can do this. Read the reviews carefully, because none are perfect. Here's a writeup on one of them:

Connecting a 2nd Palette monitor to iMac

I have an iMac 24" 28Ghz (1Mac,8.1) and want to connect a second palette monitor to the mini DVI port, using a mini DVI to VGA connector.
A search of the forum shows issues with cursor jumping and wrong resolutions.
I really want to run my Adobe CS4 suite with the tabbed palettes on the second monitor to my right.
Is anyone doing this without issues?
Peter

Well given the huge response, I figured I'd just go ahead and warn all the vendors that they could have their stuff back promptly if it didn't work as advertised.
I bought a dead cheap 2-for at OfficeWorks. 2 Philips 160EI TFT 40cm monitors, only A$186 for both. I also got an Apple mini-DVI to VGA adaptor which has dropped in price from Apple's previous rip-off rate to A$25.
Installation was quite straight forward although the monitor looks like a dwarf next to the 24" iMac.
I installed under OSX 10.5.8 and then switched to OSX 10.6.3. Under both it was recognised immediately but defaulted for some reason to a non-native resolution, easily fixed.
I didn't need to *color manage,* that's not what it's for, but both Apple's color calibration and the on monitor controls only screwed it up so I went back to the default settings just playing a little bit with the on monitor contrast and color to try and crisp up the Finder text which still seems too soft. Apple's color calibration lead it to be way too dark. The monitor controls way too light, so factory settings is where it stays.
Visually the monitor is a tad unsharp with a visible vertical banding a little like thin corrugation. Colors are pale, about max 70-80% tint to my eye.
I was able to set separate screen backgrounds, so that I could have a pleasing black & white background to my palettes.
I tested several applications running simultaneously along with movies on both monitors. All work flawlessly so far.
I can now run tutorial DVDs on the 2nd monitor whilst keeping the application to which it refers open on the main monitor. Nice!!
*Testing palettes with Adobe CS4:* They cleverly snap to whichever of the 2nd monitors edges they are dragged to and work perfectly even sensing the real estate available on the monitor. I have set them to snap to the inside (left edge of the 2nd monitor, which is to my right). This means that for the first time the optional sub-palettes pop out to the right in reading order.
All remember their position between re-startups. No sign of flickering or any of the problems reported in the forums. That is in both Leopard and Snow Leopard.
Flicking between fullscreen view using the tab keyboard shortcut and the toolbar options has different results. Sometimes the palettes stay with the main screen in full screen view, sometimes they disappear, I'm trying to work out what combination of actions sets off what.
*Testing palettes with iWork:* They have none of Adobe's smarts but can be stacked a little awkwardly to fit. Awkward because Apple hasn't worked out how to sensibly do this and made them different sizes. However they do remember their sizes (sort of) and positions between restarts.
Pages' Outline/Fullscreen view unfortunately blacks out both monitors. I was hoping I could keep my palettes visible on the 2nd.
Overall I am very happy. I worked with 2 monitors for almost 2 decades until Apple made it both expensive and extremely awkward on several occasions. It feels very liberating to have my full workspace clear again.
OSX is one clumsy design for handling windows, despite/because of all Apple's efforts.
There is no substitute for more/separate screen real estate. So far I am one happy camper.

That message means that you have to restore the iPad now. There was a problem with the update. So connect the iPad to your computer and restore your iPad.
You can read bout it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If that does not work you will need recovery mode. You can read about it here.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4097
Or you can follow these Recovery Mode Instructions
Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore iPad.

My Yoga 13 Ideapad crashes and reboots when I connect to an external monitor!!

I have the Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock through which I am trying to connect to my desktop monitors.
What happens is an automatic reboot. After that reboot, I have been able to log into the machine again, but it will reboot after 2-3 minutes - maximum - if I am lucky.
I searched the forums, but did not find any other with this exact problem, so any help in discovering what goes wrong and how I can fix this is of course greatly appreciated.
My Yoga 13 is brand new, all the Windows Updates and Lenovo Updates have been applied, so I do not think it is missin device drivers. The docking station's software was installed before I hiooked it up, and I have tried connecting both through the USB 3.0 and the UISB 2.0 port, but that does not solve any problems.
Looking through the Event Viewer shows these errors occurring:
* "The Desktop Window Manager has encountered a fatal error (0x8898008d)." This happens 8 times in a row
* Then: "The winlogon notification subscriber <AUInstallAgent> was unavailable to handle a critical notification event."
* "The description for Event ID 1 from source DptfPolicyLpmServiceHelper cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer." I have 2 of those.
* In the System event log, I see this at the same time of the crashes: "The DisplayLinkManager service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 1 time(s). The following corrective action will be taken in 271311 milliseconds: Restart the service."
I have no idea on how to solve this issue, so please, if you have any tips or fixes for me, please let me know!

hi nilsandreas,
can you please check c:/windows/minidmp folder and if there's any file, can you please upload it so i can check it?

What cables to connect to the VGA monitor

Hello,
From what I know the Mini Mac 2010 includes a HDMI to DVI monitor adapter. I have a LCD display with a VGA port. How do I use this adapter to connect it to the monitor VGA port. I am thinking about connecting HDMI --> DVI adapter (included)to DVI ---> VGA adapter (purchase) to my monitor. Will it work?
Also, how do I know if the Mini Mac is 2010 or early version before I buy it?
Thanks.

Using the stack of adapters you suggest will definitely not work. The VGA monitor is not a digital signal, where the HDMI is. DVI specs support both analog and digital signals, but when using a DVI to HDMI cable it should have the digital only version of the DVI connector. Even if you can find adapters to fit, you can not go between HDMI and VGA without a digital to analog conversion device in the middle.
Your only practical option is the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.
If you are asking how to tell a 2010 HDMI equipped mini from earlier models, its quite simple - the HDMI native models are all the unibody aluminum design. The earlier models without HDMI have the plastic top.
