IPAD externa display

I just purchased an IPAD . I also got a VEGA dispaly connector. The Apple rep at best buy assured me that I can display most of the apps on IPAD(particularly PHOTOS) to an external LCD dispaly. However so far the only thing I saw working is the youtube app. I bought the IPAd so I could display my photos slideshow on big screen LCD/TV. It seems I can not do so and I am very disappointed. Am I doing something wrong or is this not supported? Why was given an in-correct information? I would appreciate it if anyone would let me know how I can dispaly my photos/slideshow on the big screen LCD screen.
Thanks for any feedback

This page says it displays:
"At this time, the following apps will use the 2nd display:
- keynote - when you shown a presentation
- video - when you play a video
- Photos - when you run a photo slideshow
- Youtube - when you play a youtube video
In all these cases the 2nd display will show the object when you start playing it."

  • HT4108 Unable to read a movie from my iPad to an external display

    Hi everyone,
    I fear the worst here. I downloaded a TV show from iTunes and watched it fine on my external display (a full blown HD tv). Then I downloaded an HD movie from the iTunes store but my iPad2 says it's unable to play protected content. What gives ???
    Is there a work-around to this or does my gut-feeling tell me Apple has restricted the use of an external display for some commercial reason ?
    What's the point of buying full HD content if you can't watch it on full HD gear ?
    Thanks for your thoughts on this !

    One workarwound is to do the following:
    1. Remove the digital content from iTunes (but keep the files)
    2. Rename all .m4v files to .mp4 files
    3. Add the files back to iTunes
    This seems to fix the problem for me
    Hope this helps

  • How can I use an iPad Mini as a external display for any new Vixia Series Camcorder?

    Hey Everyone, 
    I've worked with Vixia's previously and am looking to purchace one of my own, a G20 or G30 most likely.
    I'm very interested in using an iPad Mini as an external display and wondering if anyone has had luck with this.
    Cheers and thank you!

    do you mean you want to play your videos from your Vixia camcorder on your iPad mini? Well, that may be a little difficut. Because the video came from your camera may not be a very friendly format. 
    Here you can try install VLC on your iPad mini , VLC should support AVCHD (*.MTS) natively.
    If this can't work, then find yourself a free converter;
    Handbrake, Any video converter ,ffMPEG etc.
    If this can't wrok , or the output quality is jerky.
    try this one free mts/m2ts converter from pav, I used it and considered to update it.

  • IPad and external displays

    I am trying to hook my IPad to an external display and it won't let me watch a purchased movie, saying that the device is not authorized. Any suggestions on getting it authorized?

    Are you using the Apple certified iPad connector? (Similar or the same as this?)
    If you are using that connector through HDMI, it should output to any display, without any sort of "not authorized" errors. In my experiences, I have only gotton those errors when the conneciton into the ipad is incorrect. For instance, plugging an iPhone 4S into an iHome from 2003 generally results in some hiccups because the docks have changed over time with different pincounts, etc.

  • MACBOOK PRO - NO SIGNAL OUTPUT TO EXTERNAL DISPLAYS

    When connecting any external monitor I have an intermittent issue where it does send the signal to the external display - yet it shows the display's preferences in the Control Panel. Had an embarrassing moment at a presentation with an LCD projector. Have used severalo DVI adaptors. Any ideas? It works sometimes, sometimes it does not. When it works I cannot close the lid either without it turning off everything, which used to work fine.
    Any ideas?

    It's too bad you never received any help on this in the Forums, but was hoping you may have come across a solution in the last 2 years.
    I am not a techie, so my explanation will be crude, but sounds exactly like your issue above.  It's October 2013...I have a 2008 MacBook Pro.  Everyone tells me I can use the miniport to connect to my 2010 LG TV.  I purchased a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter from RadioShack (Gigaware brand).  I plugged the adaptor into my minport, plugged the HDMI cord into the adaptor, and plugged the other end of the HDMI cord into the LG TV (44").  In my display preference, the MacBook recognizes the TV.  However, there is virtually no picture...
    I get extreme fuzz/snow with colored pixels, with the background display flickering on every 30-45 seconds behind the fuzz (i.e. very grainy).  On one occassion, the display showed up perfectly for a nanosecond and went back to fuzz.  Common sense is telling me that the image is trying to be sent to the TV but the signal is not strong enough?  Or, the encoding is not fast enough? 
    Tried the following:
    Grabbed another HDMI cord in case it was the originally cord - no dice.
    Tried all 4 HDMI inputs on the TV - no dice.
    Myriad other non-technical things like moving the MBP around, jiggering with connections, etc.  Nothing.
    For purposes of meeting my needs, I ended up downloading the latest Apple TV software and ended up displaying my presentation via Airplay from my iPad.  But that solution drops a lot of the key attributes of my presentation (slide builds don't work, certain graphics missing, color is off, etc).  It worked sufficiently, but I was hoping for a more solid presentation solution.
    Thanks for listening!

  • Does Reader IOS have native external display support?

    Without the jailbraking method, can Adobe Reader for IOS natively display to an external display?
    Cheers

    On ipad 2 and later, all apps support mirroring using the iPad VGA cable. We've tested this configuration and it works well in our testing. You should also be able to use AirPlay (configured in the iPad settings).

  • ITunes Visualizer on External Display Blacks Out Main Display

    Is it possible to have the iTunes Visualizer full screen on an external display while keeping the main display active?
    In other words, I'd like to have my 2nd monitor display the iTunes Visualizer in full screen while I do work on my main screen. Every time I try this it forces the main screen to go black.
    Does anyone have a solution, or is this just the limitations of iTunes and/or the Mac?
    (By the way, the closest I've come is to put the iTunes window on the 2nd display, start the visualizer, and make its window as large as it will go. But, you still see the top of the iTunes chrome above and below the visualizer.)

    I realise this is an old post, but have not yet seen an explanation of how I have solved this problem.
    Its not a complete solution as it only works if you want to use iTunes, and does require an iPad or an iPhone.
    First configure the Apple remote App on your iPhone, or iPad, or both   iPad is best, but iPhone works almost as well.
    Check that you can control the music from your i'Device'
    Drag the iTunes window onto the external screen/projector.   I am assuming external monitor with a different screen geometry to main screen, but if you can handle some gaps, you can mirror displays just as well.
    Turn on the Visualiser - and put it into full screen.
    If you can't see the external screen the following short cuts are useful. 
    ⌘T - turn on Visualizer
    ^⌘F - turn on Full Screen
    Your main screen will blank out, but you will still have full control of your music from the Remote App.
    Very cool if you are having a party, and want the visualiser on the large LCD TV, or on a projector.

  • Use external display to present iphone screen for training

    I have to teach newbies in my company how to use both the iPhone 4 and the iPad.
    I was hoping, that there was a way to display the iPhone screen (exactly like we all see in the keynotes) so I can navigate around and they can see what's happening on an external display - instead of gathering over my shoulder.
    There just has to be something - I see all the iphone costumes people use and I can't imagine there isn't a way for me to utilize it for training...
    Thanks...

    The only way I could think to do that would be to take screenshots of the iPhone showing the things you want to teach them, and then you could buy the iPad VGA Adapter, which works with photo slideshows and movies. You might be better off taking screenshots on the iPhone and iPad and putting together a Powerpoint to demonstrate.
    I guess in the Keynotes, Apple has their own custom setup that allows them to show a live feed of the iPhone screen. I hope this is helpful, sorry if it's not exactly what you were looking for.

  • HT204406 I have purchased match but when i try to play a song from the cloud on my ipad it displays a message of " cannot connect to iTunes Store" and doesn't play the song. i have reset both devices.

    I have purchased match but when i try to play a song from the cloud on my ipad it displays a message of " cannot connect to iTunes Store" and doesn't play the song. i have rest both devices.

    I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."

  • Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

    My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
    The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
    - When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
    - For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
    However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
    Please let me know how to solve it.

  • How do i use an external display with my macbook pro?

    How do I use an external display with a macbook pro?

    Just buy the proper adapter cord, such as MiniDisplay port to HDMI for example.  Plug it in and it will be automatically recognized.  Use System Preferences > Displays to set options.
    The display can Mirror your primary desktop or Extend the Desktop.

  • Connecting a MacBook to an external display or projector

    I have tried to connect my MacBook to a projector and to a TV using the mini-DVI to Video adapter, both with the same poor results. Here's the steps I took:
    - Turned on the TV
    - Connected the video cable to the TV "video in"
    - Connected the video cable to the MacBook with the mini-DVI to vieo adapter
    - Opened the MacBook
    - Turned it on
    The MacBook boots up, the MacBook resolution changes and the video on the TV is distorted, showing essentially three images of the MacBook display. Any attempt to adjust the resolution using system preferences just makes it worse.
    Has anyone had success using a MacBook for presentations using either a TV or a projector and, if so, what procedure do you use to connect?

    Greetings from Hong Kong-
    I have a major presentation to give in a couple of days and have NOT been successful connecting to an external display. I am starting to freak out. Any instructions would be helpful!

  • Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.,

    Is there a way of connecting the ipad to the smart board in the classroom, so that the smartboard is the control, and the ipad is displaying what is on the smartboard? This is to help a visually impaired child see what is on the smartboard.

    Absolutely!
    Install Splashtop2 on the PC and enable it to be controlled or ran from iPad or Reflection to simply allow iPad to serve as PC unwired monitor. With Splashtop and an Apple TV connected, you use the smartboard as usual, yet the PC and iPad can see the same content. The impaired child can even interact with the Smart Board via the iPad as if he were writing directly on the big screen. Erasing functions can be done by touching the Smart Board manual controls. Several variables are in play that cause this lack of functionality:
        Apple won't permit PC software that infringes its proprietary apps.
        Smart Board companies refuse to develop iPad apps because they feel threatened and are being replaced by iPads
        School districts think Apple TV is meant for copyright infringement and could expose them to safe harbor lawsuits
        Network administrators make it impossible to login Apple TVs because they don't want the streaming occurring
        Classrooms are not able to keep up with the technology of using the iPad
        Clicker companies refuse to play with iPad because they see it as a potential threat to their core business clients
        Apple is not working as hard as it could to exploit its capabilities in education, thus losing money in iPad sales
    The bottom line is that we educators and technology developers are hurting our childern with petty conflicts.

  • DVD player full screen on external display

    I'm looking for a way to play my DVD full screen on my external display while I can work in other apps on the main screen. Preferrably with Apple DVD Player (OS X 10.7 Lion in my case). Any ideas? Hidden settings perhaps?
    It's stuff like this makes feel let down by Apple. It's natural feature to want this like for instance when playing DVD on a big screen in front of an audience and prepare something on the main display for viewing.

    I know I can do this already with VLC. For some discs that don't play well in VLC I'd prefer DVD Player though.
