Connecting ipad2 to non-HDMI television

To be very specific, HBO go is fantastic.  But I want to watch on my old toshiba big butt TV.  Because HBO go is much better than just having HBO on Directv.
Is there any way to connect?  I was thinking I could use the VGA adapter and then find a way to adapt from VGA to component.  But I have a feeling that won't be so great.
Does a HD->SD conversion need to take place?
Anyone?

Hi there.
Glad you are enjoying the wide variety of apps available on the App Store.
To connect your non-HDMI compatible television to your iPad, you may try using a component cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC917ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE) or a composite cable for iPad (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE).
While the VGA adapter will work if your television supports VGA, I am not certain of (and would not recommend) using an adapter.
Hope this helps, and good luck getting your problem solved. Let us know if you need any additional help.

    Not sure you can on an older model TV.
    You can connect via a cable or wireless using an Apple TV.

  • Video out from MBA to non-HDMI television?

    Hello, I'm sure this has been asked in the past, but . . . Is there anyway to get video that is streamed over Wifi to my MBA 13" late 2011 to connect to my circa 2003 Hitachi plasma TV without HDMI?
    The TV is cabable of showing 780 HD video (I have an HD cable box), but right now I use component video cables from my cable box. Options would be some sort of Thunderbolt to component cable converter (if this even exists) or some way to connected a non-Wifi enabled TV to the Web. The TV has componet and composite inputs
    Someone told me that the Wii will output to composite. True?

  • How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    How do I connect my mid-2009 Macbook pro to my HDMI television and get sound?

    Use a mini-Displayport-to-HDMI adapter and a standard HDMI cable to connect the computer to the proper HDMI port on your computer — the one that is paired with the separate RCA audio inputs (see the TV's manual for this information). And connect the headphone port on your MBP to those inputs with a cable that has a 1/8' stereo headphone plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other. You'll also need to select the proper HDMI input in the TV's menu system, and you may have to select the headphone port as the audio output in the Sound pane of System Prefs on the Mac (or it may be selected automatically).

  • Having trouble connecting macbook pro via HDMI to television?

    When I connect my macbook pro to television via HDMI thunderbolt cord it flashes blue, then the mac does not recognize any other displays. I have tried all HDMI ports and am getting the same results. Please help, trying to watch netflix on larger screen.

    I don't know that it wouldn't be best to simply get a 'smart' device (my Blu-ray player is the 'smart' device in my AV line-up) such as an Apple TV, etc., to actually view NetFlix movies. That's what I do - my BR player on Ethernet - and the results are terrific. Although I've used a Thunderbolt>HDMI adapter in the past (I don't have a machine with native HDMI ports) I find that the quality and speed is just better with a smart device.
    Just a thought...

  • How to connect Apple TV without HDMI input, what are my options?

    I don't have HDMI input on my TV, but I have RCA, RGB, S-Video, Audio input, and a few others. What options exist to make the Apple TV work and still get HD quality (aside from getting a new TV)?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    DVI
    Some users with DVI have managed to get their TV's to work with DVI-HDMI cables. DVI carries no audio, so alternative connections need to be explored to enable audio. DVI doesn't necessarily support HDCP as well as other standards used by HDMI (which may or may not be an issue)
    Analogue (component, composite etc)
    There are hardware converters that will convert HDMI to various other types of output, however there are some issues with doing so that you should be aware of.
    HDCP
    HDCP compliant converters will not allow you to watch HDCP protected content such as that from the iTunes Store. Non compliant converters exist but we cannot discuss them under the Terms of Use for these communities.
    Resolution and aspect ratio
    I'm not aware of any converters that will scale the output from the Apple TV, any TV or projector which is used will ideally need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p (Apple TV 2), 720p/1080p (Apple TV 3), although the Apple TV does have a number of 4:3 resolutions it supports, but these may not be available if the TV doesn't broadcast them.
    DAC
    Most types of HDMI to non HDMI connectors or converters won’t carry audio, in such cases you may also need to convert your optical output to an analogue signal using a DAC.

  • Is there a way to connect iPad2 to my previous gen DVI Cinema Display?

    I have an iPad2 and I have looking for ways to use my previous generation Cinema Display (DVI) as an external monitor, but it looks like VGA-out and HDMI-out are the only options. Has anyone managed to connect iPad through DVI connection?

    Search for HDMI to DVI adapters. There are many. DVI-D or DVI-I is backwardly compatible with HDMI video but not DVI-A. DVI will not carry audio. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Compatibility_with_DVI

  • Connecting HP laptop to my television

    When I connect my laptop to my television, my tv displays the laptop screen and sound, but not video.  These are the steps I followed:
    I connected my laptop to tv with hdmi cord.
    Using tv 'source', I choose appropriate hdmi setting.
    I chose second screen only option on my laptop.
    My laptop 'desk top' was displayed on the tv screen. (Good!)
    I opened 'Netflix', and it was also displayed on tv screen. (Stll good!)
    I clicked on a movie to watch...suddenly the tv screen is black, but the tv does have sound. (NOT good!)
    Do I have to change a video setting on my laptop?  I don't know how to do this.

  • Connecting a T61p to a television?

    Has anybody successfully connected a T6x series laptop to a non-HD television?  I have a 26" CRT with component video inputs, but no DVI.  I found a convertor at a surplus store that connects everything up, but the display is completely garbled.

    most likely, your TV does not have component video inputs.  a 26 inch CRT will have RCA inputs (Yellow White Red), maybe s-video if you're lucky, and coaxial cable input.  So, you'll need something like this:

    Component video is entirely different from RCA (composite) video.

  • Apple TV 2 to Non-HDMI TV

    Is there any type of conversion method I can use to connect my Apple TV 2 to a Non-HDMI TV. The Apple TV only had the HDMI port and I am looking to connect my non-HDMI tv to Netflix. I bought a VGA to HDMI cable on ebay, but it doesnt seem to be working. Thank you very much to anyone that can help.

    Well that blows!!! All I want to do us watch Netflix and the occasional iTunes rental on a tv that doesn't have hdmi inputs. It supports 720p. Is it a conspiracy to get people to "upgrade" to a tv that has hdmi inputs? I don't want circumvent copyright protection, I just want to be able to use this tv for something other than just watching dvd's and satellite programing, without having to buy a new tv.
    The "almighty" must have calculated that to make more money means selling more product, and that would mean accommodating those that might not have "hdmi" inputs. I have the ability to buy many more atv2's, but why? If it means I would have to "break the law" in order to use them as they were intended?
    If you were using them "as intended" your TV would have a compliant HDMI input and this thread would not exist.
    There are many choices in TV streaming devices, many of those choices have connectors other than HDMI, choose one of them instead or get a new TV.
    As Apple appear to be in the minority in only providing HDMI it's not much of a "conspiracy" is it now.

  • HT4972 I am trying to install iOS 6 on my IPAD2 but none of the screens that you display look like mine and there is no click to update button.

    I am trying to install iOS 6 on my IPAD2 but none of the screens that are displayed are what is on my IPAD.

    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.
