IPad Air AV Adaptor

iPad Air AV Adaptor
I used to be able to connect my iPad 3 to any TV using either the 30 pin to AV adaptor or HDMI adaptor. I could mirror, watch Netflix or Hulu, and Videos. Now I have an iPad Air and nothing works. I tried a 30 pin to lightning adaptor and the first thing I noticed was that Apples own adaptor does not work with their own Smart Cover, the end is too fat. So, I popped the cover off and connected the adaptor. I first tried it with my Apple AV adaptor, no output. The I tried the HDMI adaptor, no output. When traveling, I like to connect my iPad to the hotel TV, using either option. What a step backwards for Apple. Accessories not working together, accessories not working! Any body else having this problem?

I see that chart, and yes, it does say that. I guess I will try that $49 item. Still, it does not fit with Apples own Smart Cover on. Still a bad on Apples part.

Hello burgesslm
For accessories that use the 30-pin connection, you will need the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter to connect to them.

Many questions...advice? iPad 2 == iPad Air in France

I have a 16 GB iPad 2 WiFi and am planning to buy a 32 GB iPad Air WiFi + cellular
I'm in France, but will probably be moving to the US next year.
Many questions, any answers appreciated!
-I don't have a computer...my laptop committed suicide, and I got the iPad to tide me over, and found that I really don't need anything more. Is there any problem transferring my apps and data over, or do I have to repurchase stuff? It's backed up on iCloud.
-related question...is there a good way to get music I've got on various iPods (I've got 3 of the old tiny ones) onto the iPad (again, no computer)?
-will I be able to buy an iPad Air in France and use it in the US with just an adaptor, or do I need to buy a completely different power cord?
-it looks like if I get the WiFi + cellular version in France, I need to sign a cellular contract. Does anyone know if this is actually the case, or if I can buy one contractless, use it WiFi, and worry about the cellular part later? Again, if I take it to the US, will I be able to add a US cellular contract later? Or am I stuck with whichever country I bought it in?
-is there a good way to easily trade in or sell my old iPad? French power cord, etc. Earbuds died. Has it got any value?
-if I buy a 16 GB iPad Air can I add memory later, or should I go for 32 GB right off the bat? I spent a bunch of money for extra iCloud storage, only to discover that it didn't mean I could keep more movies downloaded, and so it wasn't useful and I canceled it. Am I correct in assuming that I probably want the 32 GB this time around?
-I don't have a printer, but I'd like to get one. What I really want is cheap and nasty, good at printing black-and-white, easy set-up, no expensive supplies. Recommendations? Or what to definitely avoid?
-is there a good reason to buy from the Apple Store as opposed to a general electronics retailer?
-I currently use the SmartCase, but I'm thinking to change to a SmartCover because of the weight.
Except for not covering the back of the device, do they basically function the same?
-I don't like the available Apple case color options (they are the icky pastel colors of cheap Japanese blenders! Why?)...
Are there any cases from other manufacturers that are equally or even more functional but have other colors?
If anyone has any recommendations for indispensable accessories that you really love, please tell me!
Also, the 2 annoying points I've noticed are (1) a bunch of stuff is only available through FlashPlayer, and (2) can't attach multiple documents to emails. Are there any changes here, or am I missing an
easy workaround?
Merci beaucoup!

As long as you use the same Apple ID on both the devices you can share apps and content that's been downloaded from Apple.
If the music on your iPod came from iTunes you can redownload it. If you synced it onto your iPods as music ripped from cd's etc then I don't think you can get it off the iPod, or if you can the only way to do that is with a computer.
You will only need a plug adapter, the power brick should work on world wide power.
I don't have a cellular iPad but if you get one that's wifi only you can later look into something like a Mifi, a portable battery operated wifi hot spot.
Selling your old iPad should be relatively easy although you might need to knock off a few bucks for the french power plug. Just make sure that you erase all content and settings before you sell it so they can get int it and so that your data is removed.
THe memory isn't upgradable so buy the memory you'll need because what you buy is all you have.
Any wireless printer could work. If it's air print enabled then you're good to go. If not you can look for apps by the printer manufacturer or there are plenty of third party printer apps that enable wireless printing.
You don't have to buy from Apple. In fact, places like Best Buy offer really great accidental damage protection that can be even better than waht Apple offers. In addition, third party places may have other perks, such as free covers or gift cards towards accessories, etc. So shop around.
The only thing to remember, if you choose to buy Apple Care Plus it's best to get it when you buy your device.
As far as I know there's no huge difference between the smart case or Smart Cover. If you're shopping for cases then I'd suggest Amazon. Widest and best selection out there, and even if you don't buy from amazon, you can see who's got what.
THe accessory I can't live without is my Zagg Folio, it's a case and wireless keyboard that turns my ipad into a mini computer. A stylus can also be helpful if you find the screen hard to maneuver around but not necessary.

IPad Air for the wife....Please Help.

Hiya. My wife had previously a Windows 8.1 laptop and its was so slow and complicated that we had to sell it. Now, i'm planning on buying her an iPad Air instead. These are the things i noticed what she was doing and what she would need from her "old" computer:
1. Photos - When we had our holiday in Paris we had about (say in this instance) 300+ photos stored in our camera's SD card; photos are saved at 8MP resolution in normal/auto mode. Now i understand there is an SD card adaptor for the Air. My concerns for this because of the 1GB RAM uploading might take a while. And also where will the photos be stored? Can she easily edit the photo before uploading them to Facebook or Flickr?
Does she have to go to the app first then upload photos thru there?
2. Documents - The bane of her life. She will be doing course work in the next 2 months which requires doing a long case study (essay). Now i understand there is MS Office for iPad. Can she create, edit, copy & paste (from one source to Word) documents as you would on a Windows computer? Is there any other good third-party or 1st-party Office/Word app that she can use that is user-friendly? And can she save those documents in .pdf or .doc format too?
3. My wife has an Android phone and he has Gmail and files on Google Drive. I'm aware there are Google apps on the App Store. But the concern here is can she upload for example a saved CV in .doc or .pdf format to Google Drive from the iPad Air?
4. I have a Macbook and sometimes i would like to send files from my Mac to her device for example a photo or .doc document. Can i transfer such files to her iPad via bluetooth or any other easier/faster way?
5. Wireless printing - There has been occasions that she wants to wirelessly print something to our wireless printer. Can she do that straight & on-the-fly via an app (or from within an app)? For example a train ticket or her CV.
Please advice. Thank you.

I have been considering a Surface Pro 2 and a Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1.
I won't like to go back to a Windows computer because despite having far better specs than an iPad my experience with slow/long downloading & installing of updates and tedious/confusing OS (e.g. you have to "stop all processes" to make some background processes stop, confusing Metro UI & Desktop dual OS, etc.) i'm trying to avoid.
A Galaxy Tab Pro with far superior specs than an iPad Air seems a reasonable choice also. But i feel that there are more apps, better optimised apps in iOS than Android then i may also avoid it.
I'm thinking of getting a 64GB iPad Air which might be enough for her needs. I have mentioned previously what i have asked her what she would normally do with a computer/tablet. I have yet to find a refurbished 11-inch MBA in the Store. Found some 13-inches but she doesn't need that big a screen.
I have no experience with Android tablets, so can't comment there.
As to refurbished MBAs, there's a couple right now in the US Store. http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/macbook_air/11

I would like to ask more about Photos. Do i need to upload them to the iPad first before i can do some basic editing? If say she wants to upload those photos in Facebook can she do it via Photos or does she have to go to the Facebook app? Same procedure with uploading to Google Drive or OneDrive?
Yes they need to be on the iPad. The Camera Connection Kit support only lets you preview the images from the memory card, camera, or USB drive. But you can't to anything with them until you import them to the iPad.
Also for files, which cannot be uploaded from a flash drive or external hard drive. There are some Wireless drives that will allow you to access files on the drive through their own App and in turn transfer them to the Google Drive or OneDrive Apps for upload onto those services.

I have an Office 365 subscription and was told my Microsoft that i can make full use of all features in the Office for iOS? is this correct?
Yes. As I said you need the Office 365 subscription to get all the features. Without a suscription you only get limited editing capabilities.

Can i copy a text from a website or wikipedia then paste it onto Word for iOS? Can i also copy then paste it on to an email?
Yes, and Yes. Copy paste is not an issue from one app to another.

Cannot connect iPad Air to VGA Monitor

Hi,
I received n Ipad Air for Christmas so gave away my old gen 1 Ipad, now I am beginning to wish I hadnt as there are so many problems!
One I am trying to resolve right now is very iportan as I have aconference to attend and need to connect the ipad to a std PC VGA monitor to output video (I cannot use airdisplay or wireless connectivity). I have a STD PC monitor here which worked fine ith my 1st Gen Ipad and i bought a lightnng convertor for my VGA adaptor but hen connected ot the mobitor I get nothing. Have tried every permutation of on/off of monitor and Ipad to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
thank you
Elizabeth

Hi,
sorry, to clarify, I had an adaptor for my Gen 1 Ipad to VGA and that used to work fine, when I got the Ipad Air the Apple store sold me a lightning adaptor which goes from the Ipad Air to the Gen 1 VGA adaptor and I pug the VGA cale into that original Gen 2 Adaptor, does that make sense now? The idea being so that I could use the orginal VGA adaptor from my Gen1 Ipad which was a much cheaper option hat buying a whole new adaptor. Do you think I was sold the wrong thing then?
thanks
Elizabeth

HT4101 Is the Panasonic lumix tz20 compatible with the iPad air lightning cable?

Is the Panasonic lumix compatible with the iPad air lightning to USB camera adaptor?

No reason to think its not. The USB adapter is universal. So unless there is something fundamentally different about the Lumix USB interface, or thewy way it stores images on its memory card it should work.

Sennheiser earphone jack will not fit into iPad Air with protective case on

Portable battery not charging Ipad Air

got an ipad air, only charges through the adaptor, nothing else. anyone has the same question?

My iPad Air charged from a USB port on my computer, a USB port in my wall outlet and from and Anker portable battery.
Are you using a certified lightning to USB cable? Be sure to use a good cable. Try with the cable that came with the iPad if you are using different cables.
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

Multi track audio recording with ipad air

Are there users of ipad air with a usb connecting adaptor and a usb audio device making multi track recordings? I have had limited success doing this with my previous generation ipad and am wondering about the stability of eight-track recording on the ipad air.

Just thought I would let anyone who's reading this
topic know that I have resolved my issue, it was to
do with the Audio Configuration of Logic to the
inputs from the MOTU. I went to Logic>Audio>Audio
Configuration and configured it so that each track
received from the respective inputs.

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.

HT4101 Connecting my lightning to sd card reader accessoire THE iPad air Lets know' this accessory is not. supported by this iPad' could Someren help solving this issue?

Connecting my lightning to sd card reader accessoire THE iPad air Lets know' this accessory is not. supported by this iPad' could Someren help solving this issue?

Thanks for the advice. Unfortunately it didn't work. Have tried both kinds of restore. First restoring from backup and second as a new device (twice). Still get the same "Accessory not supported" message. Thank goodness I can use the old 30 pin SD reader with the lightning adaptor for my up-coming trip. I tried it again and it worked again. BUT I hate having a piece of Apple equipment that doesn't work.

Cannot send email from my IPad Air

I suddenly cannot send email from my IPad Air. Keep getting message that my email recipient
was rejected by the server because it does not allow relaying. Don't understand what this means as I have been able to send email before.

Paula, in most cases this message appears when you are sending email from a ISP server not in the pop settings and SMTP settings in your email program.
In example if I send out email from my iPad I must be on my own isp's server to send. I have roadrunner but if I send email out using say Verizon's email server I will get a reject notice.
You did not say what email program you are using but if it is hotmail or yahoo or your isp's email in two of these email accounts there are stand alone apps which work much better than the stock email program on the phone.
If you are using road runner or another ISP email you must get the proper Pop3 (incoming) server settings and SMTP (send) settings from your ISP
You can then just go into the Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendar section and click on the email account and change to the proper settings from your ISP.
You could delete as you were told but why bother when only the sending and receiving settings need to be entered.
If the settings are correct, on an iPhone it tests the settings. If correct send an email. If incorrect you will need the proper settings from your ISP.
It is actually very easy to do.
Hotmail is not an option on my iPad air | Apple Support Communities

Good Luck
