Ipad to aplle tv to vga projector

For teaching and presentation purposes I need to connect my ipad to an apple tv and then to a projector that only has vga inputs. Is this possible?

your question is not really for ipad but for appletv forum
there are somewhat pricy converters which make hdmi to vga but vga don't carry audio so it would be silent
and all DRM material such as movies from itunes or netflix or the likes would not work

How to connect the iPad to a VGA projector

I read the comments about using the iPad with a VGA projector for presentations, but those were for the original iPad. My association is asking me to present a live demonstration of the new iPad 2. I tested the iPad 2 with the digital connector to HDMI on my TV and that works great. I can move around all the screens on my iPad and even play Angry Birds.
But what about connecting this iPad 2 to a VGA projector? All the earlier comments referred to that process as "very limited" with only a few apps running on it, like Keynote. That won't do for my presentation. Is there a solution or does the new iPad 2 fully support a standard (read old) VGA projector?
Thank you for your replies.

It is my understanding that the dgital adapter will give you full video mirroring over HDMI from the iPad 2, although there are some reported models of TVs and projectors that have issues, but that analog signaling, such as VGA, is limited to apps specifically written to provide access to that type of video connection.

I have connected my iPad 2 to an Infocus X1 projector using a 30 pin / VGA connection cord. The iPad displays the slide display mode only and does not permit slide show to be launched?

I have connected my iPad 2 to an Infocus X1 projector using a 30 pin / VGA connector. The iPad will not change from slide sorter mode to presentation mode. How do I change the iPad to 'slide show' and get the projector remote to respond to changing slides?

The new Apogee Duet for iPad and Mac, is compaible with iOS devices and includes a USB Midi input. This sounds like the perfect solution for your workflow.

IPad to vga projector connection questions

My kids got me a 3rd gen ipad and an apple tv and I would like to do keynote presentations and display them on an older vga projector. If it matters it would be in a place without internet. The projector is ceiling mounted with a wall mounted vga connector that is hard wired to it. I believe the projector can also function as a server for wireless presentations, but I don't know how to wirelessly connect that to the iPad. To get it working either way would be great. Any suggestions or directions would be very appreciated. Thanks.

Well I just now looked at the apple reviews of the mini display port to vga adapter to find that many people experience these things not working. Maybe the 3 I have are all dead. I never even thought that all the adapters I have might be defective. All other apple display adapters I have (that are are much older) still work. I have some display adapters that are probably 10 years old that still work great (mini dvi to dvi adapter crica 2004). Anyways I just ordered a new one and will report back after I have a chance to test it out.

Connecting New iPad (3) to vga projector

Hi everyone
Has anyone tried connecting a New iPad (3) to a projector using the vga adaptor?
From what i've read, most projectors have a resolution of around 1028 x 768.
What happens if you connect the New iPad, with it's 2048 x 1536 resolution, to a vga projector with a lower resolution? (using the Apple vga connector).
I would like to show keynote app presentations on a vga projector, but i'm worried that if I use the New iPad (3) that some of the image will be missing?
Help?
Thanks

Does anyone know why the display on the LCD projector is not 1028x768. I have 2 black bands on each side. This is output from iPad3 using the VGA adaptor. It was working fine a day earlier, with 1028.x768. I used another application called Web Presenter and that works fine, with the option to choose external display setting.

Can i connect ipad 3 to aprojector throught vga adapter and can i then mirror keynote presentations

can i connect my ipad 3 to aprojector throught vga adapter to mirror keynote presentations

I don't know if there is a Dock-To-VGA Adapter in the Store, but there is a Dock-To-HDMI-Adapter.
Newer projectors have an HDMI-Input-Slot. (30$ Adapter +10$ HDMI-Cable (if it doesn't exists)
You also could buy on top a HDMI-To-VGA-Adapter (30$ Adapter1 + 30$ Adapter2 + 10$ VGA-Cable (if it doesn't exists))
An deluxe solution would be an Apple-TV
+ HDMI-Cable
or + HDMI-To-VGA-Adapter + VGA-Cable
now you can use AirPlay by setting up an adhoc WLAN from your iPad which the Apple TV can use.
Cause I have an Apple TV, I take that with me with the adhoc WLAN setup of my iPhone.
All settings are done, so it's only a plug in at the room where to hold that presentation. Wirelessly from my iPhone Keynote-App via AirPlay to AppleTV (Mirrow or as second screen, with seeing notes and controls on my iPhone) and from Apple TV to the projector.

Ipad to Macbook Pro to LCD projector

I have a MacBook Pro and IPad 2. Doing a PPT with the MacBook Pro using the mini display port to VGA adapter connected to the LCD projector. I would like to display an app from the IPad to the LCD to the screen. I realize I can connect it directly to the projector. But I was wondering if I can connect the IPad to the Macbook via USB and configure the MacBook to display the IPad on the screen via LCD projector.

Maybe this:

How do I see powerpoint presentation on VGA projector?

I have the mini DVI to VGA adapter. After I connect my macbook to a vga projector what function key or command do I use to see my powerpoint presentation on the VGA projector?

It is essentially 'plug and play' - this was taken from the following linked site...
Tip: To make sure that your computer automatically detects theexternal display or projector, be sure you plug the adapter into theexternal display or projector before you plug it into the computer.

If you Macbook screen does appear and you still have powerpoint problems then the issue may be with your presentation as whatever appears on your screen should appear on your projector.

Connecting DVI Cinema Display and VGA Projector from Minidisplay Port

Hi Everyone!
I'm trying to get my mid 2011 Mac Mini to send a signal from my MiniDisplay Port to a vga splitter which works fine. My biggest thing is that when I connect my inFocus IN112 VGA Projector the screen shows up from my mac but to connect my Cinema Display it takes VGA so I had to go from the VGA Splitter on one side and use a vga to dvi adapter and my cinema display shows blank? Help Me Please!!
Thanks,
Andrew

I already have a converter on the end of the VGA Splitter to go to the Cinema. The reason I don't use the hdmi to dvi is because with the minidisplay port using vga to the projector and the hdmi going to dvi to the Cinema it makes the projector screen very rough and pixely

How do you sync macbook air to overhead VGA projector?

How do you sync a macbook air to overhead VGA projector for slide presentation?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
That depends on the set up of the projector.
What input does the projector support? Older projectors often had VGA, S-video or RCA composit video inputs. Newer ones might have HDMI or a LAN cable, some of the newest are AirPlay compatible.
Once you have determined what connector you must (or can choose) to use you pick one and open System Preferences Displays... the MBA should be detecting and showing a second monitor... your projector should be detecting and showing a input signal. You just have to match them up resolution and refresh rate wise.
Say the projector has a resolution of 800x600. Compared with MBA's 1366x768 resolution, if you simply have it mirror the MBA, its screen is going to shrink to the point where it is more difficult to run apps (especially if you select them from the top toolbar, as everything is squashed together).
Conversely, if you choose to use the projector as a 2nd screen, it preserves the MBA's original resolution, and only affects any app drug off-screen (which is what the students will see). You will still have the main desktop available for apps to keep open (but don't want the students to see).

External VGA Projector Screen Blue when MacBook Pro Connected

I love using my laptop for Powerpoint and Keynote presentations at work. I used to have a Powerbook 1.5GHz 15" and now have a MacBook Pro 2.2GHz 15". With some external VGA projectors, after connecting the MacBook Pro, everything works great. I turn off mirroring and my presentation goes smoothly.
However, with some particular external VGA projectors, I get a connection problem. After using my DVI-to-VGA cable to connect my MBP to the projector, nothing happens. The projector continues to project a blue screen as though nothing is connected to it and as though it has no video source. I've cycled through the projectors input selections hoping the projector would find the signal but still nothing. I've even restarted my MBP with the cables attached to the projector and still the projector shows a blue screen.
My friends can connect their PC Windows XP and Windows Vista computers to this same projector with no problems. I used to have this same problem with my PowerBook G4 which is one of the reasons I upgraded to the new MBP hoping this problem would be resolved. What's wrong and what can I do to get my MBP compatible with the external projector?

Sorry, I meant the cable that links between the connector and the input to the projector (RGB - IN by the way, not OUT).
We have a number of these VGA cables at my place of work that will work with a PC but not a Mac. Some are fine. My technician holds on to a cable for me that we know works and if I get a bad one, he brings in the replacement and it takes a few seconds to go online. I also note that some of the projectors (particularly ceiling mounted ones) have an additional adapter between the cable and the projector. It may be that some of the pins are not connected.
Of course, if the projector is mounted too high, that would not allow easy replacement.
I would suggest finding a cable that works and carrying that around.

Is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input?

is it possible to show a presentation from the original iPad via wireless on an older projector with no HDMI input? If so, what equipment is needed?

The ipad not support wireless projector yet.
The workaround is you are using computer that connected wirelessly [needs 2 wireless adapter] / via cable to projector and connected also to the wireless router.
You are controlling the computer via wireless connected to the router using remote desktop app like splashtop, teamviewer, logmein, vnc, etc. You must set the remote desktop port and app at the computer too as ipad app support.
