I have a VGA adapter and an iPad2. Tried projecting my iPad2 to projector using the VGA but doesn't work. Tried it with friend's iPad1 and it works. Why??

I have a VGA adapter and an iPad2. Tried projecting my iPad2 to projector using the VGA but doesn't work. Tried it with friend's iPad1 and it works. Why?? Pls help.

Yup - nothing happens. I then took the same VGA cable and plugged it into my friend's iPad1 and it worked perfectly when she opened Keynote. My understanding is that the iPad2 mirrors the entire screen, so no need to go into any specific application in order to project to the screen, right? Do I need to download any specific app or change any settings in order to be able to project the screen using VGA?
Sorry - novice at this. Not very tech minded either...

Forcing iPad1 to full display on data projector

I read somewhere that there is possible to have full display of iPad 1 in data projector by about using some software "adaptation"... I´m not talking about jailbraking - I read it iSt absolutly legal... Anyway, I'm totaly rookie on this...
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks for you time and patience.

Most likely either there's a bad cable or adapter, or an adaptor or connection cable aren't firmly plugged in. If you have a VGA monitor available, test with that. If the problem persists there, one of the cables or possibly the port on the MacBook is bad.
Hope this helps.

Viewing ipad1 on external monitor

Hi,
I realize I cannot "mirror" everything I see on my ipad1 on an external monitor. I'm able to view videos on my external monitor using my VGA adapter, but the video is not displayed on my ipad at the same time. Is this possible for videos?
Thanks!

Different devices you're using. The VGA is for the basic normal projector, while the HDMI is primarily on HD TV sets. I'm sure there are some HDMI projectors out there, but the vast majority are VGA. (One of the funnier moments of the iPad2 keynote was Jobs describing all the teachers mirroring on the flat screen TV's in their classrooms - since then I've gone to a number of educational technology conferences and meetings, and have yet to find a teacher with a flatscreen instead of a VGA projector ).
I believe the VGA can't output the full HD image, while of course the HDMI can.

IPad 1 - VGA cable not outputting to projector, monitor or TV?

I recently purchased the apple VGA cable so that i could project powerpoint presentations using my iPad 1. I have no success at all using any applications to make this work. Slideshark, Keynote etc.
I had read that only video streaming is supported, however, i cannot get Youtube or any other content to show up. The cable works fine with my iPhone 4S.
Is there a setting I need to adjust on my iPad? When I plug it into a computer monitor, projector, or TV it seems to detect a signal but the screen stays black.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks all... of course after I posted the query, I decided to do a forum search and found that this was not a unique question...in fact the VGA connector for the iPad1 is about useless. I did do a Slideshow and the images DID display on the external monitor. So the system does work, albeit with some decided limitations.
Well, not a reason to get an iPad2 yet, this was an experiment and not a regular requirement for me.
Still.... an odd decision by Apple to be so selective about what it allows to clone. And while they are at it, next time around, an extended desktop option would be really, really neat.

Show apps on projector

Using an iPad1:
What to do, if I want to show on a projector, how downloaded apps created by DPS works?

I did make a search if it is possible.
But I am in doubt if the iPad VGA connector cable will show DPS aps, or if it is only possible using this method:

Can I connect iPad1 to an external monitor (HDTV) to display whatever is on iPad screen on TV?

I want to demo new apps to my bosses in a group rather than one-on-one. I have a cable to connect my iPad to the TV's monitor cable and have checked all the TV inputs but nothing displays on TV. Is there an app that will display whatever is on my iPad screen or is there something in settings I need to change? I tried Projector with no success.

No, not with the original iPad. Only a few selected apps (where this feature was deliberately added) can do this on the iPad1, and no app can display other apps or "whatever is on" the iPad screen.

Projector works on Dell Venue Pro 11 tablet?

Hi there
I am trying to run a director 11.5 windows projector (made on a mac) on Dell Venue 11 Pro tablet (win 8.1/1920x1080/baytrail CPU) and am having problems with "alignment" on the screen. The 1920x1080 movie seems to be loading but fills only about 60% of the screen. You can see the desktop through the other 40%. It appears that the movie (at normal size) has been shifted up by 250 pixels and to the left by 400 pixels and is playing. So you are seeing the desktop through lower "SW" portion of the screen.
This particular movie ran fine on a microsoft surface pro tablet a few months ago (no access to that projector file, I republsihed). Unfortuntately I do not have access to that surface tablet anymore. I am wondering if there is a problem with the integrated graphics hardware and/or the processor in the dell. The venue has the new baytrail processor and integrated intel graphics. The surface pro has an i5 processor.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Made some other windows projectors (on the mac) with the following results and run on the dell venue tablet.
(1) 1600x900 - similar problem with only part of screen showing
(2) 1280x720 - projector seems to be working and displaying properly. The projector image is scaled to fill the full 1920 screen width.
I am beginning to think that there is a problem with the intel integrated graphics hardware. I should add that the problem I am having also occured a few months ago when I tested a similar projector with a acer iconia w3 tablet (8 inch screen/windows 8.0/1280x800/atom Z2760 CPU/intel Graphics Media Accelerator HD hardware).
I hope that problem has a solution, hopefully coming as a director 11.6 upgrade and director 12.1 upgrade. I think this combination of cpu and graphics hardware is a going to do pretty good business.

HT201177 How to connect my MBP 13" (Mid-2012) to a projector/LED TV using a mini-display port VGA adapter (CAPDASE)

Hello Sirs, I'm having a hard time connecting my MBP 13" (mid-2012) to my projector using my mini-display-VGA out adapter. But when I switch to Windows 7 (via bootcamp), it can easily be connected... Please help me with this problem. Thanks

Try connecting the Minidvi to the VGA and connect it all together, first try turning ing on the MBP, then connecting dvi to the the projector. Make sure your projector input is set for VGA. If noo joy invert the affored mentioned proceedure. You should see your image if not, try going to system preferences>displays, click display. Try readjusting the resolutions in display. reboot monitor.

Connecting a MacBook to an external display or projector

I have tried to connect my MacBook to a projector and to a TV using the mini-DVI to Video adapter, both with the same poor results. Here's the steps I took:
- Turned on the TV
- Connected the video cable to the TV "video in"
- Connected the video cable to the MacBook with the mini-DVI to vieo adapter
- Opened the MacBook
- Turned it on
The MacBook boots up, the MacBook resolution changes and the video on the TV is distorted, showing essentially three images of the MacBook display. Any attempt to adjust the resolution using system preferences just makes it worse.
Has anyone had success using a MacBook for presentations using either a TV or a projector and, if so, what procedure do you use to connect?

Greetings from Hong Kong-
I have a major presentation to give in a couple of days and have NOT been successful connecting to an external display. I am starting to freak out. Any instructions would be helpful!

No signal via DVI to VGA adapter on my video projector Sharp PGM 15X

Hi there!
I have a big problem with my video projector. It´s connected via mini DVI to VGA adapter to
the projector. The problem is, Mac OSX decect the projector but there is no picture.
To resize the solution on both, or one of them doesn´t help.
When I use my Bootcamp and reboot with Windows XP there is a picture on the video projector.
I cant believe this.
What should I do to fix this problem?

I got my Mac Mini yesterday and I am having the exact same problem as you are having.
I've tried on two different TV's but it is just not sending a signal. Is it faulty?

Using Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter to connect Macbook Pro (2009) for a presentation via projector.

When I connect my Macbook Pro (2009 model) using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter to display a presentation via projector, only the top-left portion of what is displayed on my Macbook Pro's screen is displayed on the projector, as though I zoomed in on that portion of my screen. The projector is on and the adapter and the cable that connects the adapter to the projector machine is correctly connected. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

Hi glraczon.support,
It sounds like the external display you are using (projector) operates at a smaller resolution than your MacBook Pro. You may want to configure the display preferences in System Preferences for the external projector.
Here is an article that may help you with that process:

Mini DVI to VGA cable doesn't send signal to the projector

I just received a mini DVI to VGA adapter cable today.
I connect mini DVI side of cable into my Macbook v. 4.1 and connect the other side into DGA cable, which connected to LCD projector.
When I connect the cable to my Macbook, the opened application streched out to a full screen (seems like computer detets the cable) but projector says 'no signal'.
Can any one tell me what is wrong it is?
Thanks much
Mike

I'm still stucked.
By reading some articles, it says even using mini DVI adapter, the signal is still digital and if the projector doesn't accept digital signal then it's no use....
My projector is Epson EX3200 and it doesn't have any DVI or HDMI input.
Does this mean my projector doesn't accept a digital signal?
But, but, but if even uing mini DVI adapter cable it still doesn't conver to analog signal then why they call the cable a mini DVI to VGA cable???
Why should this world be so complecated.....

Mini Dvi to VGA for Projector issue

I recently bought a mini DVI to VGA adapter for my new macbook Black 2.4 ghz. When I hook this up to the projector nothing comes through, but the computer recognizes the projector. I know it is not the projector because when I plug in my 12inch powerbook it instantly recognizes the computer and displays whatever is on the screen. I even returned the adapter for a new one and am still having the problem. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Are there steps that I'm not doing, or is there something wrong with the mini dvi on my macbook?

When I attach my MacBook to a projector via mini DVI, all variations of order of activation used, the desktop image appears, but the icons and other open pages are off the screen to the right.
Of greater importance, Keynote presentations appear as two slides side by side, with a timer under the left image and no transitions.
This has happened with two portable projectors and one overhead, exactly the same images with each.

Mini DVi to VGA : impossible to display to a video projector

hello !!!
I bought a MINI DVI to VGA adaptor and i as soon as i connect my videoprojector (Sanyo) to my Imac with the mini DVI-VGA adaptor, my Imac screen freezes and nothing appears on the video projector screen.
What can I do ?
Thanks

Not exactly, though you can reset the PMU of an iMac flat panel machine with a PowerPC G4 processor, reset the SMU of a G5 PowerPC-equipped platform, or reset the SMC of one driven by an intel processor.
Any corrupted settings stored which might affect your external video will be dealt with by those processes. Have you attached the adapter alone and seen this same outcome, or does it occur only when a VGA projector is attached to the adapter?
