IPad2 Mirroring via VGA Connector?

I"ve got a coworker who is trying to mirror his new iPad2 display to an LCD projector using Apple's VGA connector accessory. We've been unable to get the projector to see anything from the iPad2, and I'm wondering if mirroring is only supported when using Apple's Digital connector and connecting to a projector using an HDMI cable?
His projector doesn't have an HDMI input, so VGA is the only means of connecting the iPad2 to the projector.
Should he be able to mirror via VGA? (And by mirroring, we're referring to any app, not just those that support external displays like Keynote).

I just tried it on my iPad2, and it worked. I then went back to my coworker's iPad2, and it worked on it, too.
I can only guess the VGA connector was loose at the iPad's dock connector on his iPad2 when he tried it.

  • Does Photo Booth support mirroring via VGA to iPad 2 or iPad Retina?

    The company I work for is putting on an event, and we are considering some sort of photo booth for attendees.
    We own a few large display monitors, and I was curious if we could use an iPad connected via VGA to the display to mirror Photo Booth as a way to create interest with other attendees at the event.
    I think we would have some sort of stand that holds the iPad in place, where attendees can stand in front of it and snap pictures in Photo Booth. As that's happening, all the interaction on the iPad is mirrored to an external display next to the iPad stand.
    Does Photo Booth support mirroring? Is this feasible?
    Thanks in advance for any information!

    Transfer the photo to your computer. Then You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • HT1665 Is there a way to connect a wired keyboard to Ipad2?  Via USB connector/adapter?

    Is there a way to connect a wired keyboard to Ipad2?  Via USB adapter?

    Actually there have been reports of certain USB keyboards working through the USB adapters like the Apple Camera Connection Kit .  But they are far from consistent.  The best bet is to find a simple keyboard without any bells or whistles as you want one that consumes the least amount of power.
    But yes there some that do work through there.

  • HT201335 Since I updated iOS on my iphon4s and iPad mini i cant get mirroring to work via vga cable

    Since I updated iOS on my iphon4s and iPad mini i cant get mirroring via my vga-cabel to my smartboard projector to word anymore. I used to be able to swipe right twice to chose mirroring via my Apple cable. Why doesn't it work anymore?
    All the threads I can find on the subject talks about using appletv but I need to connect via cable! It used to work (before ios7).
    Sincerely Bent F

    The article from which the issue was posted clearly explains how to access AirPlay in iOS7.
    Granted, what is being attempted has nothing to do with AirPlay or Mirroring.
    The feature that you're looking for is in Control Center... assuming the cable actually works.  If it does not work, the feature will not be accessible.

  • Connect to 32" LCD TV from Lenovo T61 with a VGA connector

    Hi,
    I am trying to connect to 32" LCD TV 1080P from T61 with a VGA connector. When I do (Fn+Ctrl+F7) I can see the T61's output on my TV if I set T61's display setting as 1280x768. Then If I increase the resolution on the TV the screen becomes black. I want to change the display setting to 1920x1080 so that I can see output as full screen on my TV.
    Notebook setting as follows
    Color Quality - 32 bit
    Refresh Rate - 60 Hertz
    How can I change the screen resolution?

    Most likely the TV won't support higher resolutions via the VGA connector. But there is a workaround.
    After spending several hours at a TV store last October, we found an obscure reference in the TV's manual stating this limitation. We also discovered that HDMI will support the max resolution. The T61p docking station has a DVI port that outputs a signal that can be converted to HDMI. We bought a DVI-to-HDMI conversion plug ($75) and took the docking station, conversion plug and an HDMI cable back to the store. Worked great so we bought the 65" LCD for trade shows. There are some settings to play with on both the T61p and the TV that will increase the image clarity significantly. The image is stunning at full res.

  • Mirroring via Tunderbolt (NOT Airplay)

    So, does standard display mirroring via Thunderbolt to VGA still work as expected?  With all the complaining about Airplay, this point has been obscured.  I do lots of standard mirroring with a cable to present using Keynote.  Still fine?

    I seemed to have lost the ability to do this once I upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Did you find that to be the case as well?

  • Apple brand VGA connector

    I purchased an Apple brand VGA connector for my iPad2.  When I plug it into the iPad the message that it is an unsupported part pops up on the screen?  Why is this when it is an Apple brand VGA connector/adapter?

    Maybe you have a defective one... have you tried it with another iPad, or another connector on your iPad?

    Safari does not output via the VGA connector. Other browsers, such as Expedition which Craig mentioned, may do so, however. Keynote also will do video output, but neither Pages nor Numbers will, so you'll have to look for other apps if you want to display Word or Excel documents.

  • Connection Help via VGA without apple's VGA adapter

    Hi, I just bought a brand new mini online today. I deglected to purchase a mini-dvi to vga adapter thinking i do not need it with my current setup.
    --Windows pc with a dual DVI out graphics card(1 dvi-vga adapter connected to a vga cable--->to the monitor)
    Can i simply take that DVI-VGA adapter off my pc and throw it on apple's DVI.. plug my monitor cable into that and get video? OR... do i need to run to microcenter when i get my mac just for a 30$ adapter to VGA?
    I planned on getting a TV within the next month or two using a DVI-HDMI cable anyway.. so i was trying to make due with what i already had.
    Thanks in advance,
    -Joe

    I understand that the mini comes with a mini-DVI adapter, and that would be put to use connecting it to a DVI-VGA adapter that comes with most graphics cards now-a-days. which then would essentially a VGA out port for the mac mini.... in turn being able to connect it to my monitor via VGA cable... correct?
    Here is an example of what im talking about: http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2005/11/23/pcinterfaces_101/vgadvi1.jpg
    If i connect that to the included mini-DVI to DVI adapter that comes with the mini TO that adapter in the picture TO a basic VGA cable.. technically it should work?
    A bit hillbilly rigged but its better than wasting 30$ on a brand new cable i'd never use again after like two weeks.
    I've got a day or two before the mac actually comes so I'm just trying to head off any problems ahead of time.

  • 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
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter
    If the projector supports HDMI input.

    The Touchsmart 300-1200 does not have a VGA output, you will need to buy a USB to VGA adapter from a 3rd-party vendor

  • VGA-Connector Gives Error Not Video

    Using the Apple VGA-Connector produces the following error:
    "The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies."
    Any thoughts on how to play a movie through the VGA-Connector? Is this not an option? I'm able to doc iPod's and play movies through my display.

    The VGA adapter will display slideshows in the Photos.app, video in the Video.app, presentations in Keynote, YouTube videos and HTML5 videos from Mobile Safari. I have the VGA adapter and have done these things.
    As far as the original error message is concerned, you cannot play HD content on certain displays. If you own an ACD, it's no problem. However, I purchased the Lord of the Rings trilogy (SD version is the only version available for purchase) and it gives me this error message. Playback works fine on some ST:Voyager shows I got. It could be something wrong with any number of things. I hope the issue gets worked out soon.
