HT201335 iPad Air airplay mirroring windowboxed display

When airplay mirroring to a projector using Apple TV 2 and an HDMI to VGA adaptor I wide black margin all around the displayed screen.
Anyone know why this happens and how to get the mirroring to use the whole display area?

Hi Andrew.
I'm afraid that's expected behavior when using VGA.
An iPad has a screen ratio of 4:3, a standard WS TV has a screen ratio of 16:9 so it's never going to fit exactly since the TV screen is wider than the iPads and consequently black bars are needed at each side of the iPad screen image to fill the TV screen.
If you then project the 16:9 output to a VGA display (which has a screen ratio of 4:3, again the 16:9 image won't fit and will require black bars top and bottom to fill the TV display.
The Apple TV does offer 4:3 resolutions in it's output options but they may not show up if the projector isn't telling the Apple TV it supports them, which might be the case with VGA since it doesn't support bi-directional communication.
Check the Apple TV output resolution settings to see what resolutions you are offered. Alternatively check the manual for your projector, there may be some sort of zoom feature that will help you.

    ipad air is without retina display? what is the retina display?

    A retina display is a high resolution display. The name comes from the fact that the pixel density of the display is higher that your eyes retina can resolve at normal reading distance.
    The retina display has four times as many pixels as the non retina display.
    As has been stated, the iPad 3, the iPad 4, and the iPad Air all have the retina display.

  • Does the iPad Air have a 3D display?

    I've recently got my iPad Air with a cool display etc etc. Today I was looking at the screen at the home page, and noticed that when you tilted the tablet, the desktop moves slightly in accordance with your eyes.
    It looks like that either the iPad Air has a three-dimensional surface, the device cleverly moves the background in accordance with tilt, or I am crazy.
    Which one is true?

    The iPads does not have a 3D display. But what you are seeing is called the parallax effect. It gives the illusion that the icons on the home scree are floating in a layer above the wallpaper photo.

  • HT201335 Can you Airplay mirror via your laptop?

    I figured out how to mirror via my iPhone, but cannot figure out (if at all possible) how to mirror my laptop.

  • New iPad: 1) Airplay mirroring, 2) Siri

    Got the new iPad but can't work out a couple of things:
    1. Airplay mirroring
    I can get this to work via apple TV for music and videos, as I could on the ipad 2, but not for other screens.
    The Apple site says to "double click the home button and then swipe all the way to the right".
    I've tried this and it doesn't work.
    Any ideas?
    2. Siri
    I also believed that the ipad has siri (voice controls) but I can't find any details on it anywhere?
    Thanks

    Dictation
    On an iPad that supports dictation, you can dictate text instead of typing it on the onscreen keyboard. For example, you can dictate a message in Mail or a note in Notes. To use Dictation, iPad must be connected to the Internet.
    Turn on Dictation: Go to, Settings > General > Keyboard > Dictation.
    Tap to begin dictation.
    Dictate text: From the onscreen keyboard, tap , then dictate. When you finish, tap again. Add to a message: Tap again and continue dictating.
    Enter punctuation: Say the punctuation mark.
    Note: Dictation may not be available in all languages or in all areas, and features may vary by area. Cellular data charges may apply.

  • HT201335 Can you Airplay Mirror from iMac to Apple TV?

    I want to play a DVD on my iMac and airplay mirror to my Apple TV. Is this possible?

    If you have a newer Mac yes, I don't remember the cutoff date but I think it's mid 2011.
    If yours is older than that there's a program called Airparrot you can download that will let older Macs do Airplay. For me it worked great and it's only $10. It has a 20 minute trial so you can make sure it works before you buy it.

    be sure you are not confusing "AirPlay Mirroring" and Display Mirroring.
    AirPlay Mirroring is not supported in that Model Mac, only in Macs with Intel integrated graphics:
    About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X
    Your Mac does support Mirroring of displays, and always has. The settings for this are in:
    System Preferences > Displays  ...

    How can I get my usage since last charge to display in settings on my iPad Air?? I have done a hard reset and really do not want to to do a restore reset as Apple does not know how to fix the problem And that's the only option that they have given me.  I have only had to charge my ipad 3 times since receiving it, and it has never displayed the time. Any suggestions would be great!!

    My brand new ipad air 1 is not displaying the battery usage figures. I did an 18 hour charge before using it and expected the values to be shown.
