Hdmi Lightning Adaptor

HI all
I am about to purchase an 8pin HDMI lightning adaptor for my iPad air, however having read some reviews I'm not sure if it will meet my expectations of being able to stream my favourite shows from BBC iPlayer etc... Also I would like to know if this works on a jailbroken device and if so to what extent will there be restrictions to mirroring.
Im really not sure wether to purchase this product or AppleTV. IF you have any other cheaper alternatives please let me know.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

It should work fine unless the site you are trying to display has blocked streaming it to your TV. I prefer using the Apple TV and avoiding the adapter and the cable.
Can't help you with your questions on a jailbroken device you need to go to a site for whichever one you are using and ask your questions.

Why did my hdmi lightning cable stop working?

Was able to watch on the tv screen using mirroring with my new ipad and apples hdmi lightning cable.
Suddenly today no mirroring occurs. The screen goes blank, then "no signal".
When i try with my husbands ipad mini, no problem, his still works, so its not the cable...
I do not want to stand in line for an hour and then have some 'genius' reset my ipad and tell me to go home and try again.
Any ideas?

Hey Thisisridiculousigiveup!
Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot AirPlay Mirroring:

Another step of troubleshooting to follow would be to make sure that you have no background apps open on the iPad:

27" iMac, HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor, LCD TV as an output monitor

I'd like to know few things before I dive into the world of FCP/FCE.
Is it possible to set your Samsung 52" Hi-def LCD TV to act as your output monitor (or secondary screen however you call it) from the DisplayPort on the 27" iMac? If so, how do you set it up?
Basically I'd like to view what I'm working on the FCP out to the 52" TV as if I'm watching the HD cable TV.
I already bought the HDMI/DisplayPort adaptor (1080p) made by Kanex. It's also designed to carry digital audio through the USB.
I did manage to duplicate the Mac's desktop on the TV but the image quality wasn't what I'd expect from the 1080p HD. I am using the hackable Panasonic GH1 camera.
Anyway I did try to set it up for the iMovie but couldn't.
I went to a few Apple Stores nearby but no one could answer my question.
I'd appreciate your expertise.
Thanks.

The display port sends out a COMPUTER signal. Even if you convert it to HDMI, it is still a computer signal, and not a VIDEO signal. Different characteristics. And the computer image isn't the proper gamma, it doesn't show interlacing properly among other things.
For proper video monitoring, like you'd see it on your TV from the cable service, you need an HD Input/Output device, like Matrox, AJA, Decklink, MOTU. Unfortunately with an iMac, your choices are VERY limited, if they work at all. The MOTU V4HD is your only option, as it uses a firewire interface, and doesn't take over the FW bus (Unlike the AJA IO HD).
What you have might be fine just to see things bigger, but not good for any critical judging of your image.

NB550D - VGA female to HDMI male adaptor

Hello,
I need to connect my Toshiba netbook NB550D to a male VGA cable (this is for projection on screen).
I figured I need an VGA female to HDMI male adaptor. However, I am unable to find any.
Has anybody faced this problem before?
All I was able to find is an HDMI male to DVI female. I'm considering buying a VGA female to DVI male (not easy to find either), but it sounds a bit cumbersome.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

> Excuse my ignorance, but when I bought this computer I specifically asked this questions and the seller assured me that it was possible and that all I needed was the rigth adaptor
Well, its possible of course but there is a difference between
- sending the signal from VGA to HDMI and
- sending the signal from HDMI to VGA.
Its not possible to convert the analogue into digital but it should be possible to convert digital into analogue signal
So I assume you want send from HDMI to VGA. Right.
Well, this should be possible but using a HDMI to VGA like this one:

HT1665 I have new iPad gen4 and have mobile in line6 plug in with old connector . Will the lightning adaptor work?

Does the lightning adaptor work, as I need to go from larger pin configuration to new smaller connector on the iPad 4th gen with retina display....why did apple change the connector in the first place. anyway apple says the connector may not work....does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks for your reply. I think I created a new apple id on my new ipad.   Bear with me as I am a "silver surfer" as they say.
I did what you advised go to settings>store>apple id. Signed out and created my new apple id with the new password that was created on my new ipad
Now my apple id is my new sky email address and I can log in with these.
But still when I try to update apps it still states my apple id as my old email address
I dont mind if i lose everything as there is not that much to lose.   I just wanted to keep the old ipad for my grandchildren as they use a lot of the game apps but obviously not much good if I cannot download any new apps
Also to confuse matters and to find out if it solved anything I clicked settings apple id i forgot and typed in my email address they stated that an email would be sent but nothing arrives which makes me think they are sending to my old e mail address.
Also when I want to download an app on my new ipad it does not prompt me to put in a password.
From what you say should all of my apps on my old ipad have been automatically been transferred to my new ipad - but perhaps not if the email addresses were different on each one.
I have i haven't confused you - should i just reset - i think it would make it easier for me anyway.
Thanks again

Lightning adaptor

I Recently updated my iPad 2 with the new iOS 8.2 software, since then I have been unable to use my lightning adaptor.
i Didn't have any issues with previous software, but I am now receiving an error message stating "this accessory is not supported by this iPad"
i have tried a factory restore, with no joy.
My device is not jail broken.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

That message is frequently caused by dirt in the connector on the bottom of the phone. Try cleaning it.

Can I still use the ipad charging dock with the lightning adaptor

I have just purchased the ipad with retina display + another lightning adaptor - can I still use my ipad dock?

Apple sells an adapter http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
May be some 3rd party adapters for less $. You need to Google search.

Lightning adaptor damages

Found tiny arc marks/damages on both side of my iphone 5 lightning adaptor's copper surface. I believe this caused my iphone 5 unable to charge ! Please help~
Will attach the photo of my lightning cable ASAP

Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.

Is 30pin to lightning adaptor will fit on otterbox commuter case??

Is 30pin to lightning adaptor will fit on otterbox commuter case??

Yeah, it doesn't look like much, but I'm leaving in the player dock and you can't see it when it's plugged in. Better than taking case on/off all the time. I didn't wanna cut my case because I don't think there'll be enough of it left to hold together very long. Good luck with yours! I wish ape would have just included a little extension stub with their adapter.

Lightning to Lightning adaptor?

I recently purchased a USB to Lightning adaptor but the thickness of the iPad cover prevents me from being able to plug it in. I don't want to have to take the iPad out of it's cover every time I wish to use the adaptor so I was wondering if anyone knows of some sort of Lightning to Lightning adaptor I could use which may assist?
THANKS

But I think you will have the same issue. The problem is your cover, not the Lightning cable.

HDMI/DVI adaptor to VGA on Monitor - No Picture

Same with Thunderbolt/DVI adaptor to VGA on monitor. Is it the adaptor to DVI/VGA cord that is making the problem?
System Information sees the Monitor(Sony Bravia TV)
Display Preferences sees my dual display set up
The computer acts as if I have two screens running
But no picture on the monitor with the signal path described above

Welcome to the wonderful world of copy protection.
Your display may not be on the "approved" list, or was removed from it.
Apple's newer Mac lines include a form of digital copy protection that will prevent protected media, such as DRM-infused iTunes movies, from playing back on devices that aren't compliant with the new priority protection measures.
The Intel-developed technology is called High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) and aims to prevent copying of digital audio and video content as it travels across a variety of display connectors, even if such copying is not in violation of fair use laws.
Apple has apparently acquired a license for the technology and is now using it across its lines to to prevent transmission of purchased iTunes content to devices that don't include support for HDCP.
The problem can often be solved by using an HDMI to Component Video adapter. Many believe that Component Video will give you a better picture than HDMI without any of the hassles of HDCP.

IOS 8 - FaceTime in Landscape (via HDMI Lightning)

Hi,
Since updating to IOS 8.0.2 (Using a 2 month old iPhone 5C), we have been unable to correctly use FaceTime on our television using the Lightning to HDMI adapter. The phone sits on a dock in a landscape position, and the phone's own display shows the normal landscape FaceTime screen, but the replicated version is oriented in portrait format on the television; ie, a central column with 90 degree rotated images on it.
I have searched the phone's Display and FaceTime settings but haven't been able to see a way to alter any output options. Is this a bug, a removed feature, or an overlooked setting? Any advice would be useful!
- Jeremy

I reported this issue to Apple on October 19, and was told it would be forwarded to engineering. Another thread discussing the same issue is #6650493, FaceTime call will not rotate to landscape on Apple TV. I do wish they'd fix it.

Iphone 5c with 30 pin lightning adaptor wont work on my sony clock dock?

Have a Sony ICf c7ip clock radio dock which works no problem with ipod touch. Plays music through speaker on clock. Bought 30 pin lightning lead to use with iphone 5c, but nothing? Why won't this work. Apple shop say it should, but it doesn't.

For anyone else, I contacted Life Fitness, they told me that the issue is the new lightning plug to 30 pin adapter. On Life Fitness equipment with the old 30 pin plugs the adapter only transmits analog not digital signal. So music will play but none of the other options that require digital connections work.

30 pin to 'Lightning' adaptor should be included in box, FOC!!!

It's a disgrace for Apple to charge for this adaptor. I spend £100's each year on their products and am now feeling ripped off while they hold back on features to make money on future releases but this is the last straw, making me pay for something THEY decided to change!!!!

Yes, an adaptor should have been included with every device.
But lets play devils advocate.
What if I was a brand new customer. Never owned an ipod or iphone with that old connector before and lets pretend they will never encounter a time when they need to borrow or use a charger or accessory from a friend. Why would that person want the adapter?
How about 5 years from now and the old connections are starting to become a memory like Firewire versions are now. If apple were including the adapter in the products when would it be ok for them to stop including it?
I'm not really ticked off about not including the adapter. My complaint is that they should be selling these things for far cheaper. It should be one of those rare items where Apple doesn't make any profit on selling them. Make it a $5 item. Cheap enough you can just buy one for every charger and dock device you have laying about and leave it there.
Lets hope it's a simple enough product that third parties can license the connector and produce cheaper versions and versions which might work better.
I'm thinking if I were a third party accessory maker I would be looking to make a converter that fits nicely into the old docking cradle space and covers it nicely with a new cradle to help the new phone stand up nicely.

HT1665 Why don't I get FM radio when using lightning adaptor with my ipod?

I've got a 7th generation Nano. Using the Apple Lightning adapter for my dock, I get no radio reception. What's going on?

You need to have your headphones inserted - they're the aerial.
I've tried a variety of headphones and they all seem to give reception. Not sure how you're affected when using your dock ie whether you can still have earphones inserted. You may need to get a double male cable and insert one end in the ipod and one in your dock (if it has that facility).
