Exactly what can I display on my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable?

I bought a set of composite AV Cables to hook my iPad2 up to an older TV to watch movies that I had downloaded or ripped and installed on my iPad when I was travelling.
I am curious to know if there it is possible to duplicate the iPad's screen on the TV using the AV cables?  Or do I really need the VGA adapter to be able to do this?

The composite AV cables won't do mirroring.  You would need to buy the Apple Digital AV Adapter to do mirroring.

  • HT201263 my iPhone is disabled. since im traveling i have no access to my computer to restore the phone. What can I do to at least use the phone again with it's basic functions (make calls, send and receive sms)?

    My iphone is disabled and I'm traveling. What can I do to reset it to at least use its basic functions (make calls & send / receive sms)?

    There is nothing you can do without doing a restore via the recovery mode.  Since you have iOS 7, if you activated Find My Phone in Settings > iCloud, you can login to your iCloud account, https://www.icloud.com from a computer, and then do a remote wipe of the iPhone...that will return it to factory condition and all contents will be erased.

  • Can a laptop with VGA output use the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display?

    I bought a 2011 Macbook Air and I'm thinking about upgrading my office monitor. The new Apple Thunderbolt 27" display comes to mind.
    However, I also have a Lenovo X201 with VGA output, which I would also like to connect to the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display sporadically.
    Will the VGA to mini-display port adapter work? If not, does there exist a VGA to mini-display port converter that will work and if so which one?

    You are thinking of that adapter backwards.  It is not VGA to MDP but is "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter".  This means it will take video out of a a MDP connection and convert it to a VGA connection.  It will not go the other direction like you need.
    Sorry but that Lenovo just doesn't have the ability to connect to the new display.  If it had a HDMI video port like some other Lenovo models, you could adapt from that but I don't know of any VGA to Mini-DisplayPort/ThunderBolt adapters.
    Even if you were to use such an adapter, the video card in that laptop couldn't drive a 27" display at the native resolution so it would look very bad.
    One other option would be to use the Lenovo X200 docking station which has a full sized Display Port.  You would have to use a Display Port to Mini Display port adapter then you could attach the TB cable to it.  There is also a USB video replicator that has a DVI-I output then then yet another adapter to get to Mini-Display.
    However, both of these options would still be limited by the graphics card at 1920x1080 so it still wouldn't look good.

  • How can I display to a projector using the VGA adapter?

    Using a VGA Adapter to the Thunderbolt connection, I  can display a Keynote presentation just fine, but I cannot seem to display the screen to project an internet page to a group of people. Is there some trick to this?

    From your description my guess is that you need to open System Preferences and select the Displays tab. Then click on the Arrangement tab and in the bottom right hand corner click on Mirror Displays. My guess is that at the moment your display setup is for 2 separate displays, 1 for the computer and 1 for the projector.

    Hi ...
    If you can't remember the Passcode, if possible, restore the device from the computer it was last synced with by placing the device in recovery mode.
    Instructions here   > iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be presen

  • I can not activate my iMessage by using the apple ID

    Hello there,
    I have a problem with my iphone4.  I was trying to activate my iMessage by using the apple ID but it was impossible.
    It says that the username or password is incorrectly, but when i use the same username and password for login in iTune (lets say) eveything is ok.
    This is very strange.
    If you know how to solve this situation, please let me know.
    Thanks in advance,

  • Can't get my mail when use the USB Ethernet adapter

    I can't get my mail when use the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter. If I use a wireless connection, there is no problem. The LAN which I'm trying to connect is behind a proxy server but the Internet is working 100%.

    Hi ViK,
    This sounds like a question for the network administrator of the location. Without knowing how the proxy is set it's impossible to know what it's blocking (incoming/outgoing). It sounds like it might be filtering the incoming mail server.

    Hello. I would like to activate my CS3 Educational Program (version 2007) on my new computer. Unfortunatly he is not accepting my serial number. What can I do? I have delated the program on my old computer but it doesn't accept the activation on the new laptop.

    Make sure you are using the  correct serial number.  Find your serial number quickly
    If you did not deactivate the original installation then it is possible your two allowed activations have been used and you need to reset your activation count.  To do that you need to contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations.  If you ask for more than that they will tell you they cannot offer you any support.
    For the link below click the Still Need Help? option in the blue area at the bottom and choose the chat option...

  • What can I get rid off to clear the most space on my iPhone 4?

    What can I get rid off to clear the most space on my iPhone 4?

    Photos and videos usually take a lot of space. You can import them from the Camera Roll to a computer and delete them all from the phone or keep some if desired. If you delete and later decide you want some of them back on the phone you can sync them back via iTunes. Instructions for importing from the phone to the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4083

  • I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. Can this possibly happen ??? What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

    Hello All, yesterday afternoon I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. How can this possibly happen ??? It may have occured after I chose the Refresh function after I had problems searching my iCal for a particular event. I think my iPhone was also not properly synched in the morning but I didn't pay it much attention and opened iCal on my MacBookAir instead.
    How can I prevent this from happening again?
    What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

    Random glitch.  It doesn't matter; if you didn't backup the data, then you can't recover the data.
    In the future, for any 'important' data, back up that data regularly.  Forward the 'important' text messages to your email.  Trasnfer your photos & videos to your computer, etcetera.

    Hi thanks for the encouragement.  It's not that the severs are "swamped", iOS 7 has been successfully installed.
    I can't access the apps list in iTunes because it *****
    down.  Its pretty frustrating because many of my apps require me to manually transfer files into iTunes first to view
    them.  Not sure if the servers being swamped is an issue for me, unless they release a bug fix through another version of iTunes.
    Has anyone else had this problem?  My iPad is pretty useless unless I can access my app list in iTunes....
