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.

    Trying to invert display on vga connected projector, but the ipad2 keeps "correcting" it.  Can you lock the display somehow?

    Hazy memory, but I recall seeing comments here that the ADC-DVI-VGA approach doesn't work. Never tried it because I never had an ADC-DVI adapter and now have no ADC port any more.

  • X230T rotate VGA projector - independen​t monitor driver?

    Hi!  Could not find a clear, definitive answer when searching this issue, so here it is... when using the X230T in tablet mode with the secondary landscape setting and a VGA projector connected using duplicate displays, the projector image is upside down.
    I would like to rotate the VGA image while maintaining the proper tablet features in terms of screen annotations, etc.  So far I have been unbale to find a setting that will allow me to have proper functionality in the secondary landscape setting and the rotated VGA image.
    One forum post suggested a driver that will treat the tablet and the VGA projector as independent monitors, so the rotation does not impact the tablet features.  I have not been able to find such a driver.  The Intel Graphics & Media Control Panel does NOT help since it appears to treat the monitors as dependent (rotating one of them by 180 degrees does not appear to help at all).
    Can someone please point me in the right direction?  Either with the default driver or a OEM driver that I could buy or download?
    The VGA projector is located on the ceiling and shared by different people, so changing the projector settings is not a feasible option.  Help is appreciated.  Cheers!

    I've managed to rotate only secondary monitor in the duplicated-display setting. I used Intel Graphic control panel, and it worked well.

  • 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.
    Jean Feuillet

    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.

  • 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.

  • Connecting iPad to a projector

    Hi
    How can I connect my iPad to a VGA projector to play my presentation?
    Thank you

    Hey guys,
    If you need to show a web page during your presentations you should give Expedition-The VGA out browser for iPad a try. It lets you show a web browser on the projector screen and can even play HTML5 video on a page on the projector. Also has a laser pointer feature just like keynote.
    Here's a video of it in action:

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.
