IPad VGA Output

Hello @all,
is there a way to enable the VGA output over the iPad VGA adapter?
Greetings

Only way I know is to take a screenshot (home+sleep) and import the image into Keynote.

Output iPad video to 27" iMac using iPad VGA adaptor?

Hi, I was wondering is it possible to Output iPad video to 27" iMac as an external monitor using iPad VGA adaptor?
Thx.

No. The VGA adaptor is an analog connection and the only inputs are digital Mini Display / Thunderbolt ports depending on your model. It maybe possible with a conversion box of some sort or maybe trying an HDMI to mini display port cable ($44.95) and an iPad 2. The 27' should be able to be used as a second display but the 21 is not. If you have the iPad 2, pick up the cable and the HDMI adapter and try it out. If not, return the cables within two weeks.

VGA output signal is present but my VGA monitor won't display it --- why?

When I connect the iPad to a Samsung SyncMaster 570STFT display (with the Apple iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter) and try to play a movie, the audio plays and the image on the iPad is not updated (which I would expect, since it's supposed to be playing on the external VGA), but the monitor reports "Video mode not supported" (which is what it says when the display resolution is out of range).
I've verified that the monitor works fine at iPad resolution (by plugging it into a Mac Mini and confirming that it is operating at 1024x768).
Is there something unusual about the iPad's VGA output that is incompatible with some displays? Has anybody else run into this problem?

Scan rate and frame rate are different item. VGA is analogue and is based on CRT in which the electron gun scan the phosphors on the screen. Frame rate, as you seem to know, is how many screens there are per second.
If you look at the properties of your video what does it say. Does it play on your iPad?
The tech specs for the iPad say the following. Note that it says:
"640 by 480 pixels" for MPEG-4
TV and video
Support for 1024 by 768 pixels with Dock Connector to VGA Adapter; 576p and 480p with Apple Component AV Cable; 576i and 480i with Apple Composite AV Cable
H.264 video up to 720p, 30 frames per second, Main Profile level 3.1 with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps per channel, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second, Simple Profile with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats; Motion JPEG (M-JPEG) up to 35 Mbps, 1280 by 720 pixels, 30 frames per second, audio in ulaw, PCM stereo audio in .avi file format

VGA output to External Monitor or Projector

One of the main reasons I bought the iPad is to start using it as my travel devise instead of the bulky MacBook. I make a lot of sales presentations using Keynote but I also have to demonstrate Web application using browsers such as Safari. I was totally crushed to discover that the VGA output only works with certain applications and DOES NOT WORK with Safari. So much for using the iPad as a travel device! You would think given that using a browser is at least 50% of what most people do on these devices, Apple would have found a way to provide VGA output for Safari! They certainly missed the boat on this one big time.
Does anyone know of an App that would allow you to run the browser through a "Video" wrapper so it can be seen on an external monitor or projector? Here is an idea for a creative developer to make a ton of money! It will make my iDud (did I say that?) be worth taking along on a trip. If i am staying home I can watch movies on my desktop, I don't need the VGA for watching movies!

First and foremost, I love my iPad, using it for the many things it does as my personal tablet is great!
While experimenting with it for a mobile work device, or a lightweight travel device, I've had mixed results.
I understood when buying the iPad that it was not a Mac or PC replacement, I'm just surprised at the limitations.
On the VGA out cable, I gotta say I tried to do the same level of research, but unfortunately being a relative newby to the Apple experience, I fell for the Apple makes it quicker simpler easier, they think of everything hype. I too thought that a VGA out cable would do exactly that and did not see anything that described the limitations.
I also think Apple missed the boat here, they could have made this the perfect lightweight travel/mobile companion device to whatever Mac/PC is sitting back at the office. I understand they are trying to protect their Mac business, but this could have been a perfect Trojan horse for them. By getting PC users hooked on Keynote/Pages/Numbers on an iPad, they would have been more inclined to purchase a Mac to replace whatever they currently have.
I know I would have.
I'm using this in business today, I'm accessing all of our web enabled back office tools without issues and using webmail to access outlook, basically 75% of my daily work can be accomplished on my iPad.
The webex app works great, but doesn't support the VGA out (nor did it say anywhere that it would or wouldn't).
The remaining 25% of my works needs fall to these apps:
I want to use Numbers, but can't, since it won't export in .xls format, which is what the rest of my company, is standardized on.
I will be able to use Keynote in a Kiosk mode at tradeshows or in meetings to project via the VGA connector, but won't be able to use it for any serious work since I can't export in .PPT format.
I won't be purchasing Pages, while it does save in a .DOC format, I'm now leery of what it won't do, and without the ability to use Numbers and the limited use of Keynote, this keeps me from using this more in the business world.
While it may sound like I’m whining, I’m not, I’m trying to express a few of the short comings, that could have made a similar impact to my business life as it has within my personal life.
In addition, for folks doing research, I hope this helps clarify some of the items that appear to be more difficult to find.

IPad VGA adapter, picture is dull & pink connected to my projector

I'm having a problem with my VGA connector, and I desperately need a fresh point of view in this issue.
When I connect my iPad to my projector, the picture has a dull reddish, pinkish hue to it. This is true for everything- video app, Netflix, slideshows, etc.
connection path:
IPad -> Dock/VGA plug -> VGA cable -> VGA to DVI-A adapter -> Projector DVI-I input (both DVI-A and D)
When I remove my projector and DVI-I adapter from the equation, and plug the VGA cable into a computer monitor, everything looks great. Also, I've tried replacing my iPad in the equation with other computers that have a VGA output, and they all work with the DVI-A adapter and the projector.
So far, my assumption was that something was going on with the iPad and the DVI-A adapter, but I've tried three different adapters, and I get the same results.
I'm completely stumped. Any ideas?

Late reply I know, but I was googling for iPhone pink VGA and landed here. I was curious if I was the only one. I had a chance to try an iPhone and VGA adapter with a number of displays and I have to say.... 16:9 VGA output on the iPhone blows chunks.
On a HP 23" display, it was totally confused about the resolution (it thought it was 1152*720) and tried to display it inset in a 1920*1080 display.... shifted badly to the right.
A Sony XBR LCD TV displayed it shifted badly up and to the left. Had to max out all video position controls to get it back to the middle.
A TV-One Scaler displayed everything in a dull pink, but at was centered properly on the display.
The only one that got it right was a Dell 4:3 LCD display. However the phone was putting out 1024*768, not 1280*720.
I don't think 16:9 output on the iPhone 4 was tested much.... if at all.

Why is VGA output from mu iPad2 intermittent?

I was doing a presentation that used VGA output from my iPad2 to a projector. Intermittently, my iPad would drop the output. A fellow instructor had no problems when he patched in his iPad. Both of our iPhones also worked continuously (when patched in via the same (Apple-branded ) VGA Adapter cable. Has anybody heard of anything similar? P.S. I hate 'intermittent' problems as much as anybody reading this.

Did you check if you have the latest VGA driver on Win7?

No VGA output ios7

Hi,
Since upgrading to ios7 on my iPad v3, I lost my VGA output. Anyone else had the same problem? Is this a glitch or a dropped feature in ios7?
Thanks,
Dwight

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Mirror iPad VGA display

Good morning,
I have the need to show the display of my Ipad on an external device/display to present a demo of an application. After a quick research on the web I found that the only way to accomplish this task goes through jailbreaking the device, thus loosing the warranty.
It looks like there’s no other way but breaking the warranty, so I see two options here:
1) Jailbreak the device and install the tools I need to enable this functionality
2) Give up with this idea, thus reducing the perceived value of my software
I ask myself why Apple is behaving like this! They have the technology to allow such functionality since they already show the ipad screen on projectors during conferences, so why don’t they share what they already have in house?
Thanks in advance to everyone who’ll provide some sugegstions to help me achiving this goal.
Regards

The iPad does not support mirroring the screen to the VGA output. The units used in Apple keynotes are specially modified to allow such use. Other than using a document camera to project the iPad's screen, there's nothing we can suggest that doesn't involve jailbreaking which we cannot discuss here.
You can comment to Apple on your interest in such a feature here:

Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Marcin.

Hi,
I would like to give my 2 cents to this post (and the answers from Toshiba):

I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
Thank you !!

My VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA doesn't work.

Since I upgraded to Mavericks, my VGA output using Mini DisplayPort to VGA doesn't work. When I was using Mountain Lion, as soon as you plugged in the Mini adaopter into the mini display port, the screen would shrink and format to where it would project via a RGB cable to a projector. No such luck since Mavericks! Also, I had a lot of trouble with the DVD player when I tried to play a DVD and project it via a projector. It all worked seamlessly with Mountain Lion. Can anyone help me?

I think if you go to System Preferences >> Displays and Option-click on the "Scaled" radio button, it will show you all of the resolutions that you would have had before under Mountain Lion. I just upgraded to Maverick and my resolution preferences (mirrored on a TV using the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter, using 1280x768) were completely reset (my display was no longer mirrored, and the resolution on my main iMac screen became 2560x1440). I found my answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23599645#23599645. Hope that helps.

Cannot use VGA output on my Satellite A100

I have Satellite A100 laptop and when I use the VGA output my monitor informs their is NO signal. I have checked my monitor and it does work.
What I would like to know since their is no signal output from my VGA does this also mean that the *S-Video* will not have any signal either?
I dont have a S-Video >> VGA adapter as present trying to save the cost of buying one if it does not work...

I really don't know what are you doing wrong?
Is your notebook connected with VGA cable or with some adapter to the VGA port on your notebook?
When monitor is connected please use FN+F5 key combination to switch between LCD display and connected monitor.
Does this work?

I want to use multiple iPads as external monitors from a PC using the iPad VGA adapter (wired)

I want to send a VGA signal to a couple of iPads using them as monitors. I currently use a pair of regular 13" VGA 1024x768 lcd monitors looping thru an LCD projector displaying the same signal sent to the projector.
I want to use the iPad VGA adapter and WIRE them in just like a convention LCD monitor. Yes there are apps like air display and others but they don't allow cloning and have latency issues and must be networked. I need an app to use the VGA adapter and actually wire them in using a VGA signal from my existing VGA distrubution amp.
The size of the iPad is perfect for my application however I cannot find an app to let me send a signal into the iPad via VGA adapter.
Any ideas?
thanks,

Tearing on VGA output, LVDS OK on 950GMA with xf86-video-intel-2.6.10

I'm crossposting this message i sent on intel-graphics ml and xorg bugzilla, because maybe some of you can point me to a solution.
i own an asus eeepc1005ha, it uses intel gma 950.
Playing a video on the internal LVDS panel is very pleasing and tear
free, but as soon as i connect the vga output, i can notice tearing or
flickering on the picture.
I tried all possible configurations:
-Booting with the lid open (tty on LVDS) and then switching to xorg
with a VGA only output. (VGA tears)
-Booting with the lid closed (tty on VGA) and using xorg on VGA. (VGA tears)
-VGA+LVDS in clone mode (VGA and LVDS tears)
-VGA+LVDS in multihead mode (expanded desktop) (VGA and LVDS tears)
Using xv adaptor via mplayer results in a different tear effect, seems
more like a flickering, while the GL output definitely tears.
I couldn't try overlay adaptor because i don't have a 2.6.33 kernel yet
(believe it or not, i've seen overlay tearing too with an old intel
driver in the past, i think 2.7.1, in a cloned mode if lvds was at
60hz, while vga was at 70hz)
I'm using xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9
I used the framerate test videos available here:

Thanks for reading.

You're right, here's the references:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/i … 06092.html
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26925
About your command, i'll try, but what it does is just picking the first port from first adaptor, right?
By now (xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9), we just have a single adaptor, the textured one;
why the first port should make a difference?
Maybe with your setup the overlay adaptor was picked, and in 99% of the cases that would certanly help.
As a side note, newer mplayer versions comes with an useful option: -vo xv:adaptor=#
What i think is that vblank interrupts generation is (and was) messed up in the drivers code.

Satellite A210 (PSAELE) - VGA output not working

Hello everybody,
i've got an A200 PSAELE and I am trying to connect it to an external Monitor via VGA.
The external Monitor is a Medion 19" Widescreen with a Resolution of 1440x900.
The problem is, that I am not able to get the external display to work.
I just get a "no signal" message on my external monitor.
I tried various things, tried another VGA cable, another monitor (Benq FP93G X) and another driver.
I am using Windows 7 Beta ans also tried to get it to work using Windows Vista Home Premium & Windows XP.
In the "resolution settings", I tried using the "recognize displays" button.
When i use it, there is a second image of a display displayed like a box.
In this box, there is the following text: "Antoher display couldn't be recognized".
Regardless of the settings I use (clone, span, ...) I can't get any image onto my second screen.
I tried changing some BIOS-Settings without success and made a BIOS-Upadte to Version 2.00, same problem.
I also tried switching to the external monitor via "Fn + F5", but nothing happens onto the second screen.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
StarGeneral

Hi,
I tested two more things:
-> I downgraded to the Toshiba Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit drive, which works on Windows 7 as well. There in the Catalyst Control Center I've got the "Displays Manager" section, which I don't have with the release drivers.
But even there, when I click on "dectect displays", nothing happens.
When I press the Windows-key and "P", a display opens, where I can select how to use the external VGA out, but when I e.g. select "clone", the resolution on the laptop-screen changes, but there still is no signal on the external monitor.
-> I tested the laptop with a real CRT analog monitor, but I didn't get any further.
But I have got the sneaking suspicion, that I've got a conflict with the HDMI / VGA version of the A210 laptop.
I know that there are a few laptops with an HDMI output and a few with a VGA output.
I checked my audi-devices and found an entry named "HDMI-Audio-Out".
Isn't that strange, because my laptop doesn't have HDMI connector?
Probably I've got a Mainboard/Graphics-card combo, which has got a HDMI port and no VGA output and which was designed for a HDMI-A210?
Could something like this be possible?
Thanks in advance,

Satellite Pro U200: VGA output not working properly when AC adapter was connected

Hi,
I have a problem with vga output. When I'm working on battery and connect my notebook to external monitor it's ok, but when I connect AC adaptor then start waving also bluetooth and wlan does not work properly. In other case when I remove battery from notebook and connect AC adaptor it works properly.
thanks in advance

As long as you use a CRT you should set the refresh rate new, at least 85Hz. Standard is 60Hz as far as I know, and that hurts in your eyes.
The wireless lan behaviour is quite normal as long as your not right next to the access point. On battery power the wireless lan card reduces its energy consumption thus the connection will be poor if you dont have a perfect signal. You can turn this off in the iNTEL Pro/SET wireless software, where you can configure the adaptor. Try to change the powersafe mode to manual and full power, this should solve your problem.
