How to connect Apple TV to Projector with no HDMI

I have a projector with S-video, rca, and vga connections but no HDMI.  I would like to get an apple tv and use airplay with my ipad 2.  Are there hdmi to rca or vga converters that will work well with Apple TV.  I've searched different things but it's just confusing me.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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 projectoe which is used will need to be widescreen and support resolutions of 720p or 480p.

    Hi...how to connect Apple TV to ipad2 with AirPlay

    Hi. Your Apple TV should be connected to the TV (I'm using HDMI cables) and connected to the internet via a wireless or ethernet connection.
    The best way to test AirPlay is to play a movie trailer from the iTunes store. When you play a trailer you will see the AirPlay symbol at the bottom of the screen. Click on it and it will show your AirPlay devices - in your case the Apple TV. Select it an your video and sound will come out of your TV.
    I hope this helps. Google the AirPlay symbol. I tried to paste it into this message with no success.

  • How to connect S5000 tablet to projector with HDMI input?

    Is S5000 tablet possible to connect to projector with HDMI input. I tried the adapter micro USB to HDMI but the projector can't detect the tablet. Is there a settings in the tablet?

    Well not had time to really play about, but I thought that miracast was based on widi and I was wondering if the software update would upgrade the widi version number.
    Funny thing is that they can see each other and I'm allowed to input the auth code but it seems as if it tmes out on trying to establish a connection.
    Could my router be preventing the connection? There doesn't seem to be many config on the TV or tablet on set up.

  • How to connect Apple TV to projector and home theater system?

    I have an Optoma HD20 projector that I have a long hdmi cable connected to and plugged that into my Apple TV. I also have an older home theater system that does not have an optical audio input. So I bought an adapter to go from optical audio to RCA cables. When I get it all plugged in and turned on I can't even get the video on my screen. What am I missing?
    This is the adapter...

    Darn. Ok. Then do you have any suggestions for other options to connect the two? My projector is mounted to the middle of the ceiling with a whole for the wires that go along inside the ceiling to the other side of the room.

  • How to connect apple tv to a TV without HDMI

    I have an older HDTV that does not have HDMI. How do I connect the Apple TV. I know you can use a HDMI-DVI cable but what about sound? Any recommendations?

    The big challenge, in addition to sound, is going to be HDCP. In order to minimize copyright infringement (copying) HDCP handshake via the HDMI connection is required. This is needed for Netflix, rented HD material etc. iTunes streaming will still work though.
    Some have mentioned finding HDMI to component conversion boxes on eBay that work, but I have no experience in this area.

  • How to connect Apple TV to old TV (Not HDMI)?

    Dear all,
    I would like to stream some content on my ipad towards a rather old TV that does not have an HDMI connector.  I thought that Apple TV could help here.
    TV is a flatscreen Samsung bought around years 2008.
    thankx, lamberly

    HDMI is the only supported method. There is no guarantee with any converter, even if it does work you will be unable to play protected content (i.e. iTunes, Netflix) and functionality could cease at any time.

    How to connect Apple TV with iPad ?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How to connect Apple TV with AT&T Uverse

    Need help pls.  Not sure how to connect Apple TV2 to AT&T Uverse.  I know I need to connect one cable to my wireless router, and another cable from the HDMI port to my TV.  That part is clear.  But my Uverse router is in an upstairs closet, and my TV is downstairs in the living room - too far apart to connect cables to both devices from my ATV2.   Do I need to somehow put a bridge router next to my TV, so that I can connect my ATV2 to both my bridge router and to my TV?  Thank you

    help connecting Apple TV to router with ethernet cable

    The process is transparent. I have done it before.
    Now, it gives me an error message when I try Wi-Fi:
    "There was a problem connecting to the network. Check your settings and try again.(5)"
    When I try the ethernet cable connection it won't let me do automatic or custom.
    I unplugged and replugged the Apple TV box but don't know how else to trouble shoot the lack of connectivity.

  • How to connect lumia 1020 to projector

    hi! somebody knows how to connect lumia 1020 to projector??? maybe exists any programs for it? i want to make a presentation in a real time direct from my phone Lumia 1020!
    Thanks in advance

    The Lumia 1020 does not support tv or video out via cable. You can play media stored on the phone via wifi to a DLNA enabled player. This won't work for Powerpoint.
    A possible workaround is to use the Nokia Beamer app to share whatever appears on your phones display to an internet connected tv or display.

  • Is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input?

    is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input? If so, what equipment is needed?

    The ipad not support wireless projector yet.
    The workaround is you are using computer that connected wirelessly [needs 2 wireless adapter] / via cable to projector and connected also to the wireless router.
    You are controlling the computer via wireless connected to the router using remote desktop app like splashtop, teamviewer, logmein, vnc, etc. You must set the remote desktop port and app at the computer too as ipad app support.
