IPad to Projector Using Bluetooth...

Has anyone done this or know that it is feasible? Using iPad's built-in bluetooth connect to a bluetooth-enabled projector. Idea here is to skip being tethered to a long VGA cord....
Thanks!

Probably not. The following list the bluetooth profiles supported by the iPad. The PAN profile may allow such use but there has to be an app to do that. However, I could not find any such app.

  • Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth

    Can you connect your Ipad to a projector using Bluetooth, if so what projectors, My situation is that I want to connect my Ipad3 wireless to a projector where there is no wifi available so the apple TV and airplay won't work.

    No.
    If you have an Apple TV, get an Apple Airport Express wireless router which is small enough to fit on your pocket. You can set up a wireless network without having to have internet for your iPad and Apple TV to be connected to.
    Or use a wired connection.

  • How to use keynote remote w/ iPad and iPhone using Bluetooth

    Using IOS 7.0.6 on iPad and iPhone can't get a connection via Bluetooth to use iPhone as a remote to control keynote on iPad. Bluetooth is on, remote is enabled in keynote on both devices but that is as far as I get. I'm looking for some instructions for what seems to be a simple process. Searched all over and only find outdated instructions or instructions that appear incomplete. I don't think my Wi-Fi connection at work will allow this type of connection that's why I want to use Bluetooth. I can't get the 2 devices to do this on my home Wi-Fi either. Using the latest  update to keynote. iPad is work issued and not sure if it is iPad or iPad 2 but I don't think this would make a difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Very frustrated at this point.
    Thank you,
    Carl

    Hey, I had some issues but I finally figured it out thanks to this article: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-use-keynote-to-control-keynote-on-ios-mac/
    Basically, you find the remote (let's say your iPhone) while your iPad has a presentation active then go to Presentation Tools on said iPad and link your iPhone. Your iPhone has to be searching for a device after you tap "Add Device."

  • Apps for cannon ip100 using iPad original model using bluetooth

    Any connecting steps, thank you.
    Ed

    Ed-
    I understand the ip100 is a printer.  The iPad prints through WiFi, not Bluetooth.  To print, you will need an intermediate device such as a computer that has WiFi, and can print to the ip100.
    Search for AirPrint Activator to find a way to share your computer's printer via WiFi.

  • My iPad pairs using Bluetooth with my android phone but I ca't get it to connect

    What are you trying to accomplish by pairing them? File transfer over BT is not supported.

  • How do I use bluetooth on ipad

    I am trying to connect my ipad 2 to my phone with bluetooth. the phone found the ipad but ipad wants a pin. This is the first time I have used bluetooth on ipad so have not setup a pin number. what do I use?

    Connect it to your phone for what reason? The only supported Bluetooth connection would be for tethering. You would connect through the Personal Hotspot settings.

  • I want to use my iPad with a projector using apple tv. How do I homeshare if the iPad cannot access itunes when away from home?

    I want to use my iPad to give presentations using Apple TV. How do I get the two to homeshare so that they "talk" to one another. Instructions say use iTunes but I am getting very confused over why this is necessary when all I want to do is link 2 pieces of equipment without having to use wi-fi.! Wi-fi won't be available at the locations where I have to give presentations. Help!

    Thanks Dave. There is still a problem. The iPad will only stream to the projector whilst connected to Wi-fi. The icon disappears from "iPod" on the iPad (the only place it appears, not iTunes as the instructions say) once Wi-fi is disconnected. Only audio will stream, no icon appears in the drop-down menu to show that pictures will go over. The outcome of courrse is that, as it stands, the iPad cannot be used for presntations using Keynote, neither can it be used in a location without Wi-fi, which rather defeats the object of have having bought the equipment in the first place having been assured that with Apple TV it would be possible. Is there anything else I can try? I would add that I have downloaded any available updates to Apple TV. All itmes were bought 3 weeks ago so should be reasonably up to date anyway.

  • Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector.

    Can I connect my iPad mini to a data projector using a lightning to 30-pin adapter connected to a 30-pin to VGA connector? Or will this only work with a lightning to VGA connector?

    The lightning to 30 pin adapter does not support video as per the item description in the Apple online store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter
    This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
    You will need to the Lightning to VGA adapter directly
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD825ZM/A/lightning-to-vga-adapter?fnode=3a
    Or the Lightning Digital AV Adapter

    If the projector supports HDMI input.

  • 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.

    Hi there.
    I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
    Welcome to discussions by the way.
    Hope this helps JB

  • I want to use Bluetooth to connect iPad to my existing Hi-Fi can I use Apple TV?

    I would like to connect my existing Hi-fi to my music on my iPad and iPhone. I know it is probably an overkill but would Apple TV do the job?

    No. Apple TV only uses bluetooth to connect to keyboards. Speakers would have to be airplay complaint.

  • How to transfer files to and from iPad air using bluetooth

    How can I transfer file to and from my iPad using Bluetooth to another Bluetooth-enabled device?  Is there an app for this? 

    iOS devices do not have the Bluetooth profile for file transfer. Even if the other device is a an iOS device, you can't transfer files over BT. You can use Airdrop between iOS devices. However, even though Airdrop uses BT to locate other devices, the actual transfer is done over WiFi. There are some apps in the App Store that, if loaded on both iOS devices will allow limited file transfer over BT between the devices.

    My ipad is not recocanize my iPod using Bluetooth,but both devices are recoconizing some other devices

    You have stated an issue, but you have not stated what you are trying to accomplish.
    Repeating the same question and expecting a different answer is questionable.

    You need to go to the App stores and find compatible apps. iOS device do not natively have to ability to transfer info to a computer via BT to a computer.
    With iOS 8 you can use AirDrop
