IPAD ONLY plays VERY limited video content thru VGA projector

I am a student at the Art Institute of Philly and I work at Drexel University's Goodwin College of Professional Studies as a video engineer in their education dept. We have recently purchased a few iPads for research and development and would like to use them for demonstrations but since the ipad will not send a signal that isn't a specific VIDEO ONLY stream we are limited with the content we can provide to others. Please HELP with an update or scripting source app that allows the homepage and all monitoring video signals to be sent. We would use this much more often if this feature alone could be fixed. If APPLE has this in the works and hasn't released it yet WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!? Another psuedo iPhone 3G "S" version 2 of the iPad? Well please make the iPad a more user friendly device for business, school, and everyday consumers.
Thank You

Can't do it I'm afraid - the iPad and iPhone only projects certain elements and there is no way around it. It is as it always has been. There have been numerous people here who have bought first, and investigated later, plus there are also other issues with copyrighted material being projected. Apple have not been waiting to do anything because as far as we know they have never planned to do it.
Send your feedback to Apple here http://www.apple.com/feedback as we are all just users like you and cannot actually do anything.
Remember that the iPad has never ever been advertised, sold, touted as a computer replacement. You really should have done more research before buying.
There are no workarounds. 99% of the users don't need the feature so lets not exaggerate the 'importance'. Use a computer instead.

  • AppleTV will only play audio, not video

    My AppleTV will only play audio, not video via Airplay. I've verified correct settings, reset iPad, AppleTV and router with no success.  Please help!

    What is it that you were playing, some providers block their content from AirPlay.

    Panasonic .MOV files only play audio no video in Premiere Elements 11??? Not Working Help

    It all depends on the codec the file uses, Karli.
    What model of camcorder is this video coming from?
    Are you working on a Mac or a PC? Have you got the latest version of Quicktime, per the program requirements? When you started your project, did you select the settings for a DSLR at 720p? This is a vital step since it will activate the components your computer will need to work with many of these types of files.
    BY THE WAY, KARLI--
    PLEASE do not post the same question more than once on this forum! You've already got a thread going with this same question and several responses posted. It's very confusing when you post the same question a second time and start a whole new discussion.

  • HT3209 Prometheus only plays sounds, no video.

    I downloaded Prometheus today and it only plays the sounds, no video.  Anyone else having this problem?  I have downloaded the movie 3 times with the same problem.  Is there a contact for Itunes to report broken downloads?

    I am having the same exact issue, the non HD  version that comes with it plays fine but the HD one will not show anything other then a blackscreen. I have no problems playing any other HD content and i can play bluray discs fine on my pc.

  • I have an Apple Composite AV cable for my iPhone 4S, and it's only playing audio not video. What's going on?

  • Very limited video support after latest OS update

    Since applying the latest update I can only play about half of the mp4 videos that I had previously played just fine.  Tryied a hard reset, reloading them, nothing works.  I'm sure someone must have hit this already but I couldn't finde the sticky.

    No, it's working fine for us.. all the media we had on there is working as it did before. Admittedly we generally have MP4 files on there which have been converted using Handbrake (I like to make them a bit smaller than usual to fit more on for my 4yr old who's not as worried about HD video at that age ).

  • Stream only playing sound (no video) in latest Mac browsers?

    I built an app using SMP 1.6.274 inside Flex Hero targeting Flash 10.1.102.64.
    The  app ran fine in an OSX 10.6.7 running Firefox 3.4, but not Safari 5.05  or Chrome 11.0.696.65 on a Mac: the stream plays only sound and shows no  video.
    I installed the latest version of Flash Player  10.2, on the chance that there was a conflict with the older Flash  Player and the newer Chrome and Safari browsers, but that didn't solve  the issue. I then downloaded Firefox 4.0, and it also plays only the  sound.
    So I tried to install Flex 4.5.20967, the latest  build and target Flash Player 10.2, but ran into a number of problems  (mainly losing the connection to the spark.components.Application), so  rebuilt the application back around Flex Hero, but still have no video  on all three Mac browsers.
    I verified that everything is working fine from the FMS server by running older players.
    I am not sure what else to do at this point and am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction.
    Thanks.

    With Flash Player 10.2 the new StageVideo API became available. Using this new API enables hardware accelerated video rendering, boosting video performance and reducing CPU usage.
    In the latest OSMF builds (starting with the OSMF 1.6 Sprint 1 build) support for the StageVideo is enabled by default.
    What you've experienced it's a known limitation of using OSMF or SMP in a Flex application, where the video is shown behind all the Flex components.
    To make your video visible, you have to set backgroundAlpha=”0″ for your mx:Application or other flex containers of your video.
    Alternatively, if you don't want the performance boost you get from using StageVideo, you can disable it and your app should work as expected.
    Here's how you do that: OSMFSettings.enableStageVideo = false;
    As for your latest post, Chrome has it own version of Flash Player bundled with the browser and it manages the updates by itself.
    I suspect you still have 10.2 installed in chrome. Use Chrome to visit this link to learn what version of Flash Player it's using: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    I hope this helps!

  • AVI file only plays sound, NOT video in Premiere CS6 and Element

    I tried getting this to work in Premiere pro cs6 or premiere element but it wouldn't accept this avi video file. When importing the avi file to either application, the file is imported but it shows up as an audio with no video. The video does play just fine in Windows Media Player. The file is archived as an avi file from a lorex dvr system with a codec IMM4. It is encrypted with the date and time which is very important to maintain.
    I have tried the following, but same problem of no video, only sound persists.
    Download the latest 32-bit static build of FFmpeg from here: Zeranoe FFmpeg - Builds
    Open the archive; you'll probably need 7-Zip since the archive is a .7z file. Extract the ffmpeg.exe file in the archive (it's in the "bin" folder) to the folder containing your AVIs.
    Create a text document (Notepad is fine) called "avi2mp4.bat" (no quotes) in the same folder as the AVIs, making sure to change the default TXT extension to BAT.
    Paste the following into the BAT file:    @ECHO OFF
    for %%a in (*.avi) do ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vcodec copy -acodec copy -f mp4 -y "%%~na".mp4
    Once you save the BAT file, double-click it; your AVIs will be rewrapped to MP4s without any conversion. The MP4s will correctly import into Premiere Pro.
    I would appreciate anyones insight on this matter.
    The following is the GSpot report on the file:

    I'm having the same problem.
    CS3 works fine with the avi files, but CS6 can't decipher it.
    Very aggravating - I thought CS6 was supposed to be an improvement.
    Luckily I have not uninstalled CS3.
    One solution I found was using Windows Movie Maker to open the file and then save it to a WMV format.
    That opened correctly in CS6.
    It's still another step I didn't need in CS3.

  • Video will no longer play, cannot add video content either.

    Since this afternoon, iTunes video will no longer play. Not movies, not TV shows. I checked and music and podcasts still play. I thought it might be a conflict between purchased video vs video I added from my DVDs, but no such luck. Purchased content will not play. Nor can I add any new video, whereas I added a new TV show episode this morning.
    If I go into the iTunes LIbrary file and select a video and choose "Play with Quicktime" the video plays just fine. But if I select "Play with iTunes" nothing happens. At all. Not even an error code. It's like I didn't select anything. If I try to add content by the keystroke "command O" and choose the file … again, nothing. No error. Just no response at all. When I open that file on my computer, select "Play with Quicktime", then choose "Share with iTunes" inside Quicktime I do finally get an error. "This file cannot be shared (error 206)". I looked up this error code and found this: "The filename or extension is too long." This does not make sense. The file names are fine and the extensions are exactly what I always use to add content to iTunes.
    So it's like the entire video portion of iTunes has ceased to function. Any clues?
    iTunes 10.4.1
    OS 10.6.3

    There are a g-zillion posts sharing your problem... but still no answer from Apple. The odd thing is that it is not affecting all of us.
    I share your problem and it's doing my head in... if somebody mentions the 5 bloody R's again...!!!

  • IPhone 4: connecting to TV for the 1st time with new "Composite AV Cable" only plays sound, not video on TV. However, this new cable works fine with old iPod to play videos on TV. Suggestions?

    I'm trying to connect my iPhone 4 to my TV to play videos via use of a new "Composite AV Cable" but only sound will play off TV, not video.  I've tried every yellow/red/white input on the TV but to no avail.  Any suggestions?

    The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC.  In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing".  I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

  • ITunes only play audio with videos. regular songs won't play

    I have tried everything from updating, to uninstalling and downloading a new version. Music videos, movies, TV, etc. as long as there is video sound will play but plain audio won't play. I audio diamond won't move either. Everything transfers to my iPod fine. Any ideas on what could be wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.
