HT4108 iPad 2 and HDMI converter issues

Does anyone have an ipad 2 and find that most mirroring works fine EXEPT video (sound, but no picture) and Keynote (I can see the slides up until I try to play my show, then TV goes black)? I have a presentation in a week; please help!

Jakobus-
Do you happen to have an HDTV-to-Standard TV converter box?  If so, check to see if it has alternate inputs that you can try with either of your cable/adapters.  You may find a combination that does what you need.

  • My experience with Apple TV and HDMI/HDCP issues

    I am convinced that it is the software update to 4.2.2 from 4.2.1 that is causing this issue.  All forms of applications only worked once for me and then it reverted back to HDCP issues.  I read several postings everywhere including plenty at Apple's forum and AVS where people were very frustrated with this HDCP issues.  Anyways, here is what I did before taking it back to Apple store....I bought AUVIO high speed cables from Radio Shack which is rated very high and tried that and I still got HDCP issues when using NetFlix or AirPlay from iPad.  Youtube from Apple TV always worked well without HDCP complaints.
    I packed everything back and took it to Apple Store (you can return without re-stocking fee up to 14 days from the day of purchase).  After 14 days, you cannot even return it and you can ONLY fix it.  I waited for a Technician.  They heard my complaints but didn't refute any of it (possibly because they have had numerous complaints on this product).  It took 5 minutes inside for them to test and see similar issues with the box that I had.  So, they have swapped it for a new box.  Before I left the store, I checked the settings including software version and Audio/Video settings in the Apple TV that is connected at the store.  I found three main differences none of which the Apple customer service staff agreed could be the reason for my problems (surprise!!)
    1.  The software update from the shelf and the one they were using was NOT updated to 4.2.2 (it was still running 4.2.1)
    2.  Because of the software update, the Audio/Video setting for HDMI had the options to toggle between Auto, RGBy, RGBhi & RGBlo bandwidth.  I believe this was in place to make the HDMI interface output as component with higher or lower bandwidth but the newer update will ONLY give you the Auto option (!!!)
    3.  They had this directly Ethernet wired and not through Wireless network and were recieving the all the full bar strength signals.  On the box that I returned, eventhough I have 18 Mbps speed at the house (any given time of the day), the Network speed test was taking a long time.  Moreover, after the Apple TV network test, it doesn't spit out the outcome of the tests (a BIG bummer and useless for testing).
    Anyways, I took the new box and hooked it up directly to my SONY BRAVIA XBR3 TV to one of the HDMI ports, disabled the feature to send or recieve data to Apple directly and did NOT update the software.  It worked fine and have tested all of the options.  From what I have read so far (I have only spent 30 hours of my weekend on this when Apple product hookups are supposed to take 5 minutes ONLY), there is NO guarantee that it will work continuously as people have had things work on them for 6 months and then suddenly have the HDCP issues.
    Will wait to see....if it continues to work....

    I figured it out. Had to go to general settings on the main screen and restart. Synch of audio is much better.

  • IPad 2 and HDMI adaptor - no sound

    Hi,
    I have an iPad2, IOS5 and an apple HDMI adaptor. Although I can get video on the TV (Schaub Lorenz sl 32-2 HD) there is no audio output. If I turn the iPad off and then restart it with only the HDMI adaptor attached it reports an error saying incompatible device.
    Any suggestions.
    Regards,

  • IPads/iPhone and Open Wifi Issue

    Running Cisco wireless at a larger university and We're running into issues with ipads and iphones on our network.  We run an Open guest network.  No encryption.  But are having difficulty getting ipads and iphones, of variying models, getting connected reliably.   We get "error joining network" messages, but only for the Open networks.  Also, it seems Random.  3 out of 4 times it fails and then it will connect a few times and then fail again.  It makes no sense whatsoever.
    Here is out network setup:
    Wireless network enryption:  None (Open)
    WLC is a 5508 Running version 7.0.222.0
    We also have 2-4400 models running 7.0.222.0
    APs are 1131's (ABG) and 1142's (AGN)
    We have run several tests to confirm that this seems isolated to our Cisco envirnoment and only Open networks.  We have another vendors products on site (That we've been slowly replacing with Cisco) and have the same network configured there and are not having these issues.  We have also tried putting a WPA2-PSK password on the network for testing purposes, and that elminates the issues, however, we need this network to be Open due to requirements on our end.
    We've tested everything from iPad 1's up to iPad 3's all running the latest iOS 5.1.1 as well as iPhone4 and iPhone4S version running 5.1.1.  All seem to have the issue. 
    I'm running out of ideas for testing and troubleshooting this issue.  Any help or direction would be greatly apprecated.
    Thank You.

    I better explain this better:)
    The session timeout will force a user to have to log back on the webauth. Idle timeout will allow the wlc to know of the iDevice even if it goes to sleep, or else it will timeout after 300 seconds which is default. Fast SSID change might not be needed unless you want the ability or devices to be able to switch to a different SSID or else the will have to wait for around 30 seconds.

  • Ipad Air 2 HDMI Mirroring Issue

    I have been using Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI - Lightning adaptor) for a long time on my iphone 5 for mirroring images , videos, safari, games, etc. on my TV.
    When i got my ipad air 2 i got it connected, mirroring works as it should , games, images, safari, youtube, etc but recently it stopped mirroring and i was only able to mirror videos when enlarged at full screen. Nothing else work. The TV shows only blanks while connected, rest of the time.
    Did i accidentally switch any settings on the ipad itself? It still works on my iphone 5, not my ipad air 2.
    Please help out!! Thanks!

    I don't see any screen distortion when pressing the back, even press slightly harder. It is fine to me because i won't bend my ipad air 2. Some more i have a case to protect my ipad which can minimize the distortion issue by giving pressure from the back.
    but the speaker issue is really annoying and only happens on ipad air 2 , i didn't see the issue been so obvious on other ipad (ipad 2 3 4 air mini...). Can we ask for compensation from Apple?
    Apple should recall to replace the speaker or putting some material to absorb the vibration.

  • Is garage band included on 10.6 OS and hdmi display issues?

    Imac, 17 inch display, 2.0 GHz, 1GB ram two issues.  Can I connect an hdmi second display (hidef tv) through the thunderbolt port and does garage band come with OS 10.6.  Can't find garage band anyplace and the second display when plugged in to an aftermarket thunderbolt to hdmi adapter sees the hdmi display but won't mirror.  I have a clean install of 10.6 and can't get past these two issues. Any help please.

    Here's the issue.  I can only get 3 meg d/l speed and that drops to as low as .5 meg at times.  I can link my MacBook Pro to an hdmi hi def 1080 thru a Devi connector and all works fine.  I run Netflix and the MacBook buffers the content so if the speed lags the show doesn't stop.  I came across this iMac and was hoping to do the same thing.  I bought an Apple TV 2 nd gen and it just stops and stalls due to no buffering.  So that's not working.  If I can connect the iMac to the larger Vizio with hdmi inputs, 1080 hi def I would allow the iMac to run my Netflix and not ruin here MacBook by letting it run continuously.  I used the MacBook on a smaller 14" and the 26" Vizio with no problems.  The iMac won't see either one though in sys prefs it does show the display but won't mirror.  If you, for some reason, just cannot answer the question, just let me know, I appreciate all your help.  I am at a loss but feel certain there is a way to do this.

  • ICloud on iPhone 4, iPad 2, and iPod/Calendar issue

    Quick question - I just need confirmation on this actually:
    I have read and been told that I cannot use iCloud with OSX 10.5.8.  However, can someone please explain why I can enable iCloud on my iPhone 4, and can add a calender event and actually see it appear on all of my devices?  I can also log into iCloud, create an event, and it goes to my iPhone/iPad/iPod.  I can't, however, see it on my computers iCalendar.  Is this the limitation?  I also can't create an event on my iMac's calendar and see it appear on my iPad/iPhone/iPod - I can simply sync via iOS devices. 

    Link,
    Your Leopard computer is not capable of supporting iCloud with the iCal application, but your iOS 5 devices are iCloud calendar capable. You can however, access your iCloud calendar from your computer using a icloud.com url.

  • HT201335 iPad Mini and Apple TV issue

    My iPad mini will change to Apple TV when requested, but will only pause playback on device and then the check mark returns to iPad. My 4s works perfect with my Apple TV. Any ideas?
    I doubt it is linked, but I am also not able to stream Sirius XM on my mini.

    To AirPlay video to your Apple TV
    1. Connect your iOS device and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
    2. Open the Videos on your device.
    3. Locate and tap the AirPlay icon on screen or Control Center.
    4. Select your Apple TV from the list of available devices that appears and begin playback.
    Note: Item 1 is very important

  • IPad 1 and HDMI out

    Does HDMI out also mirror iPad 1? It fully mirrors iPad 2, but does it for 1? I'm thinking about getting it.

    What exactly is mirroring play exactly whats on the screen?

  • Ipad 1 and iTouch connection issues

    Hello
    I have just brought my first Mac (iMac) and I am slowly getting used to it, everything positive so far...except! I have an old iPad 1 that my son uses for his speech therapy and an old itouch (orginal itouch), when I try to connectthem to the new iMac they cannot connect, the screen on both just flashes, trying to connect and charge but without success. They connected perfectly on my Windows PC before I tried to move to the Mac.
    Any ideas anyone please!
    Thanks

    No it's not jailbroken. I will never do that to any of my devices. I am talking about memory. I have plenty of storage. Just tired of apps crashing back to the home screen.

  • IPad HDMI converter video issue with Amazon Instant Video

    I bought the HDMI converter for my latest iPad. I can see everything on my TV screen except when using Amazon Instant Video, then only the sound works. Is this a DRM issue or something else ?

    It is up to the app developer whether they allow video out from the app.
    Hbo, amazon, etc do not allow it due to copyright and licensing issues.

  • HT4211 Help. Can't mirror display with ios7, ipad 2, hdmi converter to tv.

    Recently updated to newest OS 7.0.2 on my ipad. For a presentation I need Keynote to be viewed on a tv with hdmi converter and hdmi cable. When I plug in and push play to test any videos or keynote nothing is mirrored to the tv. I did some research and found that changing the language did allow the ipad to be mirrored successfully but when I unplugged the hdmi dongle from the iPad and back in again it didn't work again. Even after trying the language switch again still didn't work. Also restarted the ipad multiple times, nothing works. When I plug the hdmi dongle a blue bar does appear on the top of my ipad which means it is connected and the tv does display the input as active. Please help, it makes no sense.

    Having problems connecting iMac(late 2006) running 10.7.5 to a Samsung Flat Screen TV using separate audio/speaker cable and HDMI standard cable, mini-DVI to HDMI video converter.  TV displays generic Apple galaxy background and "some" windows (e.g. screen resolution choices).   It does not show Mail or Safari menus.  System preferences'  display "gathered" the Samsung and chose its resolution.  I did not find a way to select the Samsung as my display.
    In addition to having old hardware, we have Verizon FIOS providing internet and TV access.  Is there any way to make this work for us?  We would like to stream video (Netflix) and view shows from the Web.  Do we need Apple TV to do this?  Or is it not possible with our old iMac?  My husband thinks that our Airport could be a factor. 
    Thank you

    Lately, I have been seeing a lot of posts with users trying to use their Macs/iMacs to mirror their streaming video from their Macs to an HDTV.
    There are, actually, many alternatives to choose from than just from a Mac.
    You need to have or invest in a WiFi capable router for all of these examples.
    Apple TV only integrates with WiFi and newer Mac hardware. So, if you want to have total integrated experience, if you have a 2011 Mac or newer, you might as well pay the $100 for the AppleTV box.
    If you have a older Mac, like I have noticed many users do, then you have other options.
    If you want to elimate long cable clutter and having your Mac at the mercy of your TV all of the time,  you can still use the AppleTV box independently or purchase cheaper alternative media streaming boxes from Roku, Sony, Boxee or any number of electronics manufacturers that now have media streaming boxes and media streaming capability built into DVD/Blu-ray players.
    These eliminate long cable clutter by being close to the HDTV where shorter, less expensive cables can be used.
    Another alternative for iPad users is to use an iPad with the USB/HDMI video adapter and use your iPad as the streaming box. This ties up your iPad in much the same way as it does with your Mac, but again the iPad can be close to the TV and use minimal cables to the TV.
    Another alternative to is to use a combination of an iPad and your Mac to stream content that is only available to stream online from a computer. In this case, you can use a desktop remote app on your iPad and Mac. A good and cheap Desktop Remote app is Splashtop Remote. This allows you to completely connect your iPad remotely, over Wifi, to your iMac desktop. The app streams both video and sound to the iPad which is still connected to your HDTV. The resultant stream video picture will be smaller than the size of your HDTV, but it will still be plenty large enough to watch. Again, if you own a iPad and an Intel Mac, this method also allows minimal cabling to the TV.

    Hi Rob - thanks so much for your help!  Could you tell me what "air sever or reflector apps." are? and where can I look for information about them?
    Do you use them on the Ipad or on the PC?
    Do I need a cable too and which one?
    Sorry... I am not very technical as you can see, thanks for your help.

  • IPad 2 Video playback Quality Issue (Low Contrast and grayish black)

    Does anyone notice that the video playback quality is really bad on the iPad 2? If you try to play any video (youtube, apple trailer, your own converted video) on the iPad 2, any black images will turn grayish... Just put your iPhone, iPod touch, or even the older iPad next to it, then you will notice a BIG difference. The color is similar to what happened when you set the gamma incorrectly on a display.
    Also, you will notice this more if you change the orientation of the device, the contrast will be corrected for a fraction of a second.
    I've tried this on other iPad 2 and they all share the same problem. I tried to talk to the Apple Genius Bar and they refused to give me a proper answer on this, instead simply claiming that is just the way it is... I wanted to refund this but I've passed the 14 days rule and also I got it from a authorized retailer and so Apple just won't take it back.
    I believe it can be fixed by software... Any idea? or I shall throw it away T_T

    I'm on the phone with apple support right now. I work at a post production house, and we/our clients keep having this issue - everything looks great on screen and on the ipad 1, and theres a huge gamma shift on the ipad 2. they need to fix this ASAP. like Jls21 already said, a lot of us use ipads for work purposes - unacceptable!
    this thread ( https://discussions.apple.com/message/15100980#15100980 ) seems to blame the h.264 codec/compression settings…? does anyone know of another codec that prevents this gamma shift on the ipad 2?
    this is from the tech specs page:
    Video formats supported: H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format
    is there anything that jumps out to anyone regarding workarounds for this issue?
    we've used both Compressor and MPEG Streamclip - there's no quality difference between them, in case anyone is trying that.
    okay so, i was transferred to a senior technical rep and he looked it up - apparently apple is getting a bunch of complaints about this issue and they've submitted it to their developers. the more people that call and complain, the higher up on the priority list it goes to be fixed in a software update. there is no workaround known, and it's a standard issue across all ipad 2's.
