IPhone4 & Apple Digital AV Adapter - doesn't work

Hi,
maybe somebody got an idea -
I bought Apple Digital AV Adapter for my iphone4. Looking at the specs everything should work smoothly. Compatible with iPhone4, should mirrow the screen.
As next step I connected it to my projector - unfortunately I was not able to display anything on the projector
From the shop I received a new cable (they could not test it and they thought it might be broken). Today I tested it again and I was not able to display anything on the screen even with the new cable. I noticed that I am able to play audio on my projector. Not exactly what I was looking for but at least a sign of signal.
Also I tried with searching for signal on my projector - it selects hdmi goes off the bluescreen mode and displays then just black.
Would be great to get a hint or an answer, since the lads in the shop could not help further.
Thanks,
Tomasz

Thanks - you've been right - this adaptor does not mirrow the screen. What I have been reading on the web is that you will need to jailbreak your iphone. For some reasons apple does not allow this feature, not sure why.

  • Anyone able to play Amazon Instant Video using Apple Digital AV Adapter

    Amazon just released the Amazon Instant Video app for the iPad July 31, 2012. Version is 1.0
    It's not a great app yet. I can get it to play on the iPad (by itself). When I hook up the iPad to the TV using the Digital AV Adapter, the app gets very unstable, crashes at times, doesn't load shows....basically doesn't work. Virtually everything else on the iPad displays fine on the TV using the adapter. I've tried Safari, Netflix, and a couple of games just to see if the problem was with the iPad or the app. The problem is with the app.
    I emailed Amazon support via feedback within the app, and got responses back similar to this:
    "I'm so sorry for the trouble you facing with the Instant videos which you want to play on TV.
    I understand now a days all the TV's are HDMI connected but I assure you that we are working for the improvements required on this field.
    The Amazon Instant Video app for iPad does not support playback on HDMI-connected TVs.
    Customer feedback like yours helps us continue to improve the service we provide. I've forwarded your feedback to our Amazon Instant Video team for consideration as we make future improvements."
    I find it hard to believe they designed it to not work that way-I replied and asked them if it was...have not heard back yet.
    Has anyone been able to view Amazon Instant Video on their TV from an iPad ? If yes, how did you do it.?

    <"The makers of the app tell you it does not work that way, you think they are lying to you?">
    Where did you read that the app doesn't support this?  Their app description says it does not support AirPlay. I'm not using AirPlay. It doesn't mention anywhere that it doesn't support iPads connected to TVs with HDMI, except in a support email response back to me.
    With the iPad hard wired to the TV with the Apple Digital AV Adapter and an HDMI cable, on all of the other apps I've tried, the TV mirrors the iPad display. Even the few free games I tried would do this. This app falls apart when you hook up the HDMI to the iPad. To me that's a bug. I find it hard to believe that they designed it to not put out compatible digital video from the iPad. I would rather have seen their email response say that this is a known bug and that they are working on a fix. Maybe they are just beginning to understand the issues with version 1 and told the poor people answering the support emails to just say that it's not supported.
    I'm not particularly upset with them, as it is v1.0 of a free app. It's got plenty of other shortcomings. I was hoping that it would work somthat we could take advantage of the Amazon Prime stuff we're paying for without having to go out and buy another set top box or Blu-ray player that was compatible with their stuff.
    I would have gladly paid some money for a well designed app. Wish they had gone that route.

  • Is there a way to use the Apple digital AV adapter to mirror the iPhone 4 (not 4s) screen on my TV?

    I purchased the Apple digital AV adapter and an HDMI cable from the Apple store so that I could display the content of my phone on my TV.  It works for video and photo slide shows but I want to mirror my phone content like you can for the iPhone 4s.  Is there a work around to make this adapter work for me?
    Thanks for your help.

    Rather than mirror the display, set it to 'extended desktop' and have the browser on one screen and the movie on the other.
    CMD F1 will toggle between mirror and extended.

  • Apple digital av adapter problem

    I bought a apple digital av adapter for my ipad mini a week ago and it's been working fine until yesterday. I unplugged it and when I came back home and replugged the digital adapter back into my ipad mini it would give me "the cable or adapter is not certified or may not work reliably with this ipad"
    (p.s. I'm not really sure if I'm writing this in the right place or not, sorry.)

    Hello Allecra,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble with a Digital AV Adapter. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a nice day,

  • IPad 2 & Apple Digital AV Adapter.

    Hello all.  I recently purchased a Apple Digital AV Adapter to connect my iPad 2 to my television.  It worked liked a charm immedialtely mirroring what was on my iPad screen.  I used Netflix as well and it went fine.  The problem is with my Apple Videos.  I wentto play some purchased items and it would act like it was going to start but the TV screen would stay blank and the iPad screen would say that it is playing the video on the TV.  Not the case...  No sound or video would play.  When I moved the video cursor on the iPad, (High Speed Scrubbing)  the frame would show on the TV as a still image but would not play.  Does anyone have any guidance on this.

    Yes.

    Can i use an app while the ipad simultaneously streams the video through adapter ???
    No, only audio streaming is possible with apps that support audio playback of video content in background (e.g., the stock YouTube client). As soon as you tap the Home button, display mirroring kicks in. (On the iPad 1, where there's no mirroring, the stream pauses.)

    Nope.

    Yes (assuming you have a quality HDMI cable), and with videos over XGA resolution (the iPad 2 only has an XGA-resolution screen), even better.

  • Which 3rd party apps support Apple Digital AV Adapter?

    I'm trying to find a list of which apps support video out through the Apple Digital AV Adapter. (I'm using an iPhone 4, so there's no mirroring function.) I was delighted to discover that I could stream 720p video to the living room TV using Home Sharing. It works beautifully! Now, I'm wondering about other non-Apple apps like EyeTV for example. Can they stream through the adapter also?

    Thank you for answering, but sadly, I wasn't able to find these informations in the app descriptions. Just Real Racing 2 and MC3 had informations about supporting TV out.
    Do you know where to find them?

  • From my iphone 4 will I be able to play games like Infinity Blade or even modern combat games through Apple Digital AV Adapter on my HDTV/HDMI LCD-television?

    I have a question before buying it...From my iphone 4 will I be able to play games like Infinity Blade or even modern combat games through Apple Digital AV Adapter on my HDTV/HDMI LCD-television?
    Will it support or i have to wait for iphone 5!!!

    Having spotty luck with it... see my other post in the iphone discussions...
    It does work, but only some of the time - it seems to need a kick in the *** though. Sometimes it links to the TV right away, some times it takes some switching between apps or videos in the camera roll, and now for some reason, it takes plugging my wife's phone in first and then swapping phones once her's is recognized and TV output connection made before mine will output signal to the TV.
    And it seems to do video only with some apps and audio only with others, and then nothing with yet others. I guess I just expected it to work, given that we both have freshly updated iphones (4.3), good cables and 2 HD TV's to test with...

  • Troubleshooting With Apple HDMI & Apple Digital AV Adapter

    I am troubleshooting with the apple HDMI, I just bought the 'Apple Digital AV Adapter' and the 'Apple HDMI' but when plug the AV adapter into my iPad I get a blank screen on the tv. But I am getting sound from the iPad on the tv. Any thoughts?

    AV connector with iPad 3 does not work with iOS 7.  Tried with 3 adapters and 3 iPads and all had same problem. Although iPad does display on TV, the iPad touch screen does not respond to touch. Cannot unlock with adapter connected, and cannot run apps.  Unresponsive touch screen is wiggy at best.  When I unplug the adapter, the iPad functions normally.
    Completely ruined my presentation today. 

  • Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV?

    Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV? I use Keynote and Apple TV to stream my Keynote presentations at work and the Picture does not look great and does not put the presetation in widscreen mode. Would the Apple Digital Av adapter fix that?

    The size on the screen should remain, but the quality should be better.

  • HDMI Lightning Adapter doesn´t work on iOS7 for Ipad??

    It was working perfectly with iOS6, and now it only reproduces the sound of the stream. Any suggestions or solutions (besides going back to 6)?
    Thanks

    I'm having a similar problem. So, here are the details.
    I have an iPad 2 with an Apple Digital AD Adapter. I am trying to connect it to a Samsung P2770HD television.
    The video switches between a noise screen (1 sec), a blank screen (1 sec), a static picture of the iPad screen (1 sec), a blank screen (1 sec), and then back to the noise screen (1-2 sec). The television is reproducing the image as if the signal is being continuously interrupted (i.e., cutting out and cutting in again). Sometimes the whole process stops and my TV presents a "No Signal" screen as if the HMDI cord is not attached to an input.
    I've alternated between iPad2 video settings in various combinations. The widescreen on, tv signal NTSC, produces the best "static picture", but the image stays on the screen for no more than 1 second so obviously, I can't watch video.
    I've alternated between all of the Samsung HMDI video settings in various combinations.
    I've restarted both machines. I've alternated between trying to get it work from the main ipad2 screens as well as within apps (e.g., YouTube or Netflix). Nothing appears to work.
    I've tried two different HMDI cables, both of which work with other inputs.
    Any suggestions or recommendations are welcome. Many thanks, DJ

  • Can I use a UK-bought iPad 2 with Apple Digital AV Adapter in Australia?

    I need to give a Keynote presentation in Australia later this year and was considering buying an Apple Digital AV Adapter to connect to a HDTV. I'm currently in the UK and have bought my iPad 2 (iOS 4.3.5) here.
    Are there any compatibility issues that I should be aware of, or can I go ahead and just plug in?
    TIA!

    I think that the HDMI standard is the same worldwide. The digital adapter is HDMI. So, if the TV has an HDMI port and you have an HDMI to HDMI cable, that much should work.
    Folks have reported that a few HDMI TVs do not appear to work with the adapter.

    Hi Auracles1,
    Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.

    I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.
