IPad with VGA Adapter Problems

Does any one have any clue how to get the ipad to transmit video when hooked up to VGA (via its adapter). Yes all connections were fine, in keynote and presentation in play mode. Help urgently needed! THanks!!

Hi Guys,
I don't know if someone mentioned this before but if you watch the iPad launch video of Steve Jobs' presentation it sure looked like he was mirroring his screen during the presentation.......I think that is why so many of us believed that the iPad WOULD be functioning the same way in are hands.
Sooooo either Steve and crew orchestrated a hoax by simulating a screen mirror functionality (which I do not believe) OR that functionality IS available and will be part of an OS upgrade in the future. I know, I know...if that were true why not just make the mirror capability immediately available? Who knows, but watching Jobs use the iPad on stage made me believe we could do the same.
I tried to use mine today with little luck. I hooked it up to a digital projector. I have successfully used this projector with my MACBook Air in the past. When I plugged in my iPad and turned it on the projector showed NO sign of recognizing my iPad. I opened Keynote to my slide presentation, still NO response. I re-checked the cable, still NO response. I exited Keynote; HOWEVER, I don't believe that I ever tried the full screen presentation mode so it may have worked. I will Try it again.
I then tried to play some movies. I had movies I ripped as well as iTunes downloaded movies. I first tried a movie I ripped.....amazingly the projector recognized something was attached for the first time and started playing the movie! Then I tried The Matrix (downloaded from iTunes). The projector would ONLY show a still from the movie and a message appeared on my iPad screen stating
"This machine is not authorized to play this content"
When I disconnected the cable the movie was able to play on my iPad....reconnect the VGA....the movie froze and the message reappeared.
I also agree that the connector is not that stable. Older iPod cables used to 'lock' in place and needed you to depress two buttons on the cable to remove it. That would be very handy here BUT it would increase the risk of damaging the unit if the cable were kicked.
Thanks
Joe

  • Mac book pro Retina is not working with vga adapter to video projector

  • No video support with iPad lightning-VGA adapter (iOS 8.3)

    Just subscribed to HBO NOW and bought a lightning-to-VGA adapter ($55!) to watch HBO on my computer monitor (no HDMI, only VGA) from my iPad mini. Worked fine on iOS 8.2, but then when upgraded to 8.3 I could no longer get video support. Still have iOS 8.2 on my iPod Touch, and when that device is connected to my computer monitor, I can watch HBO (and Netflix). So obviously 8.3 no longer supports video with a lightning-to-VGA adapter. Is Apple aware of this? Will there be a fix soon?

    I had the same problem with an iPad Air 1 once I upgraded to ios 8.3. Following several suggestions online, I did the following:
    1. Via iTunes Store app, I logged out.
    2. Settings, General, Reset (all the way at the bottom), Reset all Settings (this doesn't remove any data/apps/etc, it just resets all the iPad settings.
    3. Did a Hard Reboot (hold down power and main button until iPad shuts off).
    Once I turned it back on, now I could use the iPad via lightning adapter to watch video on a TV.

  • New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

    Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter Problems in Boot Camp / Windows

    I currently run Windows XP SP2 on my MacBook and recently purchased the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter so I could hook up the MacBook to an external projector, monitor, or TV to display what's on my Windows screen on the external device. However, when I connect it to any external device, it just goes nuts and sporadically continues to make the hardware connect and hardware disconnect sounds and doesn't allow for external output of the screen. Any suggestions...? Thanks!
    Marc

    I think I solved this problem.
    It was in issue for me. My second monitor would only display the Windows XP screen when it was loading, then it would black out. I couldn't even move my mouse arrow to the other side. Then I fixed it, here's how (running Windows XP SP3):
    1. Start > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes
    2. Display
    3. Go to tab "settings"
    4. Double click the blue image with the "2" inside it. This is the second monitor, adjacent to your first, or primary, monitor. The blue box may be a desaturated, greyish blue, meaning that the monitor is disabled. Click it and it a box will pop up asking if you want to enable the monitor. Click OK, and then like magic, your monitor is resurected in it's Windows Glory! From there, adjust the resolution, and it should work perfectly.
    This isn't a Boot Camp compatability issue, it's just a problem with the lack of familiarity that users of OS X have with using XP.
    Have a nice day!

  • PA3927U-1PRP Dynadock U3.0 DVI to VGA adapter problem

    The adapter does not fit and causes damage to both the dock and the adapter when connected. I purchased one from a very reputable re-seller's website. after attaching the adapter I plugged in my VGA monitor and there was no picture. When I disconnected the adapter, I saw that DVI port on the dock was damaged, and the pins on the adapter were slightly bent. There was a little resistance when I pushed it on, but I thought it was just a nice tight fit. I returned the dock to the reseller, and received a new one. When I try to use the adapter, once again it does not go on easily, so I did not force it. I have a couple of DVI to HDMI adapters that go on smoothly and cause no problems. But I need to connect this dock to a VGA monitor. This is the main reason I bought the Dynadock, because it came with a DVI to VGA adapter. I don't want to keep returning it until I get one that works, and I don't think I should have to spend extra money to buy an adapter that works when one should be supplied. Please advise what I should do. Chris

    Try installing this.

  • Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter problems

    I connected my Apple Pro to my HD TV to watch streamed movies on my computer using the TV as a monitor. I was advised to purchase a Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and all the connections fit. The first time I connected it was no problem. I watched the movie and the audio was fine. Then the 2nd time I connected I had no screen. It was a blue wavy screen on the TV, even though the computer screen was showing the show. I believe it may have been showing me some sort of screensaver application from what i've read on the forums but I have no idea why or how. Then the next day I tried again. The screen was fine but the audio quality was terrible. It was like listening through a cheap radio. Why am I having so many problems and the quality is not consistent. Are there settings I should change when I do this?

    I have some good news.
    Regarding the broken lines on the output of the Mini DisplayPort, it seems as though it "fixed" itself. My theory is, I recently installed Windows 7. Updated all the drivers on the windows side and got it to project properly with the new Intel 4000 graphic cards. Once that happened, it kind of "popped the cherry" on the port and now both Mac and Windows output properly through the Mini DisplayPort.
    I've tested it with numerous adapters and once it outputed properly for the first time ever, all subsequent times work.
    I now have tested in on LCD and DLP projectors, Philips monitors, Skyworth TVs, Sanyo TVs.
    It's working with the Mini DisplayPort - VGA adapter.
    It's also working with the Mini DisplayPort - DVI adapter as well.
    Before I "popped the cherry" on the output port, nothing else worked. 1440x900 didn't work, neither did mirroring the displays. It just had to work once with whatever OS and after that it outputs fine all the time.
    If you ahve the same problem as above, i'd recommend dual booting another OS, load the proper graphix drivers, get it to output properly once and hopefully it'll fix the problem like it did for my unit.
    Thanks for everyone's input with the whole ordeal!
    PS. after the initial output, it didn't matter which adapter I used. I kept the generic since it's cheaper, returned the apple one cuz it's exactly the same, and now bought a generic MiniDP - DVI for my at home workstation.
    PPS. One final picture of it working....

  • External Display only with VGA Adapter working

    Hello, I'm german so sorry for my bad english
    After updating to Leopard 10.5.2 and installation of the Leopard Graphic Update, my external Display isn't working with DVI anymore. If I plug it in, my desktop flashes and I also get the monitor information tab of my external Display (Name and Settings correct). But the Screen stays black as in power saving mode. If I use the DVI -> VGA Adapter, everything works fine...
    Could that Problem be realted to the new Updates?
    I've also checked every hint of that Forum (PRAM reset, deleting Preference Files, trying to boot with closed MBP, ...), nothing worked for me. The Problem also occurs in Bootcamp! The external Display is recognized fine, but will not display any image, only if I use the Adapter.

    According to Apple support, it is "expected behaviour" under Lion for the MBP's internal display to reactivate upon opening the lid, even if you want to use only your external display. A new version of the clamshell mode-related knowledgebase article (replacing HT3131) is due shortly confirming this.
    This is despite:
    - the obvious temperature-related benefits that were achievable (under Snow Leopard) by opening your MBP lid whilst continuing to output solely to a 27" cinema display
    - the waste of energy and inefficient use of graphics processing power in needlessly running two active screens (ie if running your MBP in clamshell mode would otherwise make it too hot and/or noisy)
    - the negative longer-term impact on the battery and other components from running the MBP hotter than it needs to be.  
    If you would like to have the previous behaviour restored, please consider lobbying Apple to change how Lion handles clamshell mode. Options available to Apple include changing Lion's expected behaviour or adding a user-selectable option within System Preferences.
    Feedback should be submitted here:

  • IPad/iPad 2 VGA Adapter

    I have a VGA Adapter for the iPad and it only works when I plug it into an iPad 2. The iPad one does not ever get found by the projector. The Porjector supports 720p and 1080p. Are there two types of VGA adapters? Did I buy the wrong one? The Firmware for both iPads is 4.3.1

    When you say iPad do you mean iPad1? The iPad1 with VGA connection does not mirror the iPad screen like it does for the iPad2. The iPad1 only displays out the VGA cable with apps that support VGA out. Also, what is display out the VGA cable does not mirror the iPad1's screen.

  • IPad 2, VGA adapter, iOS 6?

    I need to use a projector in a meeting to have the participants view my iPad 2 screen. Looking at the description in the Apple store and the reviews posted there I have some questions that I hope someone can help me with.
    1. According to The Apple Store description the VGA adapter will allow mirroring of whatever is on the iPad 2 screen to the projector. Is this indeed the case.
    2. Several reviewers indicate the VGA adapter does not work with iOS 6. Anyone using the VGA adapter with iOS 6 successfully?
    Tanks,
    Ralph

    Lats year, one of our execs using an iPad2 successfully connected to our Epson PowerLite 83C projector, but after upgrading to IOS 6, the iPad gives us an error message saying the connected accessory was not supported. We had an HP LCD projector available, and his iPad sucecssfully connected to that model the first time. It seems to be hit or miss depending on the make and model of the projector involved, but I thnk it's safe to say that the upgrade to IOS  6 was the reason the Epson is no longer recognized.

  • IPad 1 -  VGA adapter

    I have the iPad 1 and would like to hook it up to a projector to view a ppt presention.  WIll the apple VGA adapter support this?

    I have since confirmed that my iPad is sending video to the VGA Adapter as I have successfully connected an NEC MultiSync monitor to the output and it is displaying video.
    Can anyone tell me what refresh rate that the iPad is using when output is from the iPad Dock connector to VGA Adapter? My television specs claim that it will handle
    1024x768 @ 60Hz
    1024x768 @ 70Hz
    1024x768 @ 75Hz
    Yet, I'm not able to get the TV to detect the signal.
    Since I believe this worked with this hardware in the past, is it possible that the output refresh could have changed?
    Thanks,
    Tom Evans

  • VGA adapter problems

    My LCD display went out again (it first did a year and a half after I bought it--warranteed, but not now). I can see everything with a flashlight, so I assume it is an inverter problem or problem with power supply to backlight?
    My main question is how to get that darn VGA adapter to work...... I cannot, for the life of me, get it to work. Any suggestions?

    Sounds like an inverter or maybe a wire through the chrome arm.
    Can you make a brief list of what you've tried in attempting to make it work?
    I've heard (but have not tried) that you could attach the adapter, a VGA or
    compatible LCD display, and restart the computer to get it to mirror the
    internal display automatically; but I don't know if that is true or hopeful
    fiction brought about by some late night frustration.
    Sorry, I really am not sure if the display would default in a mirror-on
    status if attached to the computer via the adapter then restarted.
    What I saw in a few Support documents did not tell me about that.

  • Thunderbolt port is heat/hot with VGA Adapter - Led TV

    Hello guys
    I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch, not retina display.
    I bought almost 1.5 year ago the VGA adapter, it works through the Thunderbolt port.
    I used to work with a monitor of 15.6 inch, how a secondary screen to watch webinars, video, programming etc...
    Just some weeks ago I bought a Led TV 42 inch
    I did realise that after some hours, 2-4 the left part of the Mac, where the thunderbold port is located, is heat/hot, more than the ususal, this behavior never happened with the previous small monitor..
    It is normal? The fan do not emit a special sound indicating they are working...it is always quite silent since the first day I bought the Mac..
    I remember a day when I did an upgrade of the OSX from 10.8.4 to 10.8.5 that when the Mac has restarted the fan did a strong sound how indicating or testing themselves
    What I should do?. Should I ignore the heat or I should work with this software smcFanControl, popular according with Google when I did a research to let me change explicitly the fan speed.
    Thanks in advance by your support.

    How hot is hot?  Install istat menus:

    When your MBP gets hot, open the application and take a screen shot of the temperatures and fan speeds.  Post for inspection.
    Ciao.

  • Any issues connecting the new MacBook to LCD projector with VGA adapter?

    I do presentations on the road using my old MacBook with whatever LCD I find when I get there. I run Keynote with lots of video clips in my presentations. I carry a Mini-DVI to VGA adapter. Most often it works fine.
    I was hoping to update to the new MacBook, but I'm concerned about the display issues on the discussion board.
    Has anyone had any experience connecting the new MacBook using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter?

    I received my MB (aluminium) 2.0 in early November, but only this week (2nd week December) have had a need to use it for a presentation via the Mini DisplayPort --> VGA adapter.
    I thought I could use it just as I did my previous (white 1.83 MacBook) laptop, but this one is a bit quirkier. Plugging in the adapter cable results in a system freeze. Unplugging the cable will restore mouse control (unfreezing the computer) in most instances, but not all.
    Turns out that in order to use an external VGA connection, I need to have the adapter plugged in and restart the machine. If the external display is not present from boot, then it freezes.
    This is unlike my previous MacBook, in which I could plug-unplug willy-nilly. The screen would flash blue a couple of times and all would be fine, with the external extended display detected and functioning. This was one of those nice "Mac" things that my Windows-using colleagues were somewhat jealous of, as they constantly have trouble getting their laptops to recognize the LCD projector.
    Sadly, it looks like I'm now living in their world...
