Lightning VGA Adapter with Retina iPad

I am having trouble getting a Lightning VGA Adapter working with an iOS 7 Retina iPad, although the same adapter/cable/display combo works perfectly with an iPhone 5.   When I attach the cable the display indicates a 1024x768 60 Hz input, but it stays blank.  The iPad then becomes unusably slow - each interaction taking several seconds.  When the adapter is removed, it goes back to normal.  Does anyone have any idea what might be going on?

I have fixed this myself.   The iPad was still on iOS 7.0, and the problem went away after updating to 7.02.  I guess there are some undocumented bug fixes in this release!

  • Lightning-VGA Adapter with IOS 6

    I got an iPad for Christmas, and I ordered a VGA adapter to use with my school projecter. It worked fine the first few times, but after I upgraded to ios-6, it stopped working. It could be a coincidence, but I am wondering if there is some information out there about either problems with this combination or instructions for how to make it work. If not, could it be the adapter just suddenly failed?

    It is possible that you're just having a coincidental failure of your adapter. These things do fail. I remember helping my son set up his MacBook Pro with an HDMI setup to a Hi Def TV. We were struggling for hours ready to throw each other out of his dorm room. Finally, I drove to a Big box place and bought a new HDMI cable. That fixed it.
    Try to replace the VGA cable first. Then the VGA adapter. Then consider the full reset, since that requires you to restore from a backup (not horribly bad, but you will have to go through the whole process).

    I have an iPad 2 that I want to use with video mirroring to give lectures with. I bought a VGA Adapter for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod as I want to be able to connect with any TV, monitor or projector for lectures, not just an HD device.. After plugging in my iPad to the VGA adapter and then to the video device, it appears that there is no connection with the iPad. Anybody have any thoughts?

  • HT5163 I need one Ipad 128Gb with Retina iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (Black colour), where should I approach in Delhi/NCR for this product? I am unable to find this in Croma and other retailers.

    I need one Ipad 128Gb with Retina iPad (3rd generation) Wi-Fi + Cellular (Black colour), where should I approach in Delhi/NCR for this product? I am unable to find this in Croma and other retailers.
    i need one very urgently for my day to day work. Can anyone suggest from where I can get a new piece(boxed) on or before 11 March 2013? As this is already launched in India in Jan month, but still not available with retailers, might be because of less demand of this very product.
    Any help will be much appriciated.
    Waiting for some clue.

    The 3rd Generation iPad does not come in 128GB capacity, only 16, 32, and 64GB capacities.
    The 4th generation iPad does come in 128GB capacity.

  • 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.

  • Apple VGA Adapter, with iPad 1, OS 4.3 upgrade and Data Projector?

    Hi,
    Our school is testing a number of iPads, and I will be buying a iPad 2 on the 25th March. I would like to test my iPad 1 with the Apple VGA Adapter and my data projector in my classroom. (All Apps)
    In the past the Apple VGA adapter did not mirror the apps, however the Apple site now has a link to mirror technology with the VGA Adapter.
    I could buy the Apple Digital AV Adaptor (HDMI) but would then need to find a HDMI to VGA convertor to connect to my data projector.
    I would love to show my students Garage Band on my projector, but need the correct cables.

    I know this thread isnt that recent but the answer can be found when you look at the VGA adapter product page mention in an earlier post:
    "The Apple VGA Adapter mirrors exactly what you see on iPad 2 so that everyone in the room can enjoy it.
    The Apple VGA Adapter supports video out (only) for iPad, iPhone 4, or iPod touch (4th generation)."
    So there you have it - only video out is supported on the original iPad / iPhone 4 / iPad Touch.

  • VGA adapter with iPad 3 creates yellow image on VD

    An apple VGA adapter works fine with iPad2, but with iPad3 the image is too yellow.
    I tried on two different iPad3. I repeat there is no problem with iPad2.
    Is there a new generation of VGA adapters for iPad3 or is this a defective unit?

  • VGA adapter crashed my ipad now it won't turn back on again

    I connected my iPad to my Panasonic plasma TV's PC port using the VGA adapter. I was watching a youtube video. I left the room and when I returned a few minutes later after the video had finished and the TV was blank (no problem there as the video had finished), but my iPad had switched itself off and now won't turn back on again. It's completely unresponsive. There was about 35% battery left.
    Can anyone help?! I've used the adapter with this TV many times before with no problems whatsoever... weird.

    try holding both buttons until the apple logo appears and then let them go and wait for phone to restart

    No amount of reboots fix the problem, it appears that one of the two iPhone 4's won't work with the VGA adapter.
    Anyone else seen this or have a work around to make an Apple device work with an Apple adapter?

  • Mac mini 2009 . Mini DVI - VGA adapter with Monitor LG L1953S . No sleep .

    Hi ..
    Yesterday i started in the fabulous world of MAC with my brand new MAC MINI . The problem that i have is that when the MAC mini is in stand-by the monitor is not in sleep state , and i get in the monitor screen " check cable " . So i have to disconnect manually the monitor when mac is in sleep state .
    I am using mini-dvi to vga adapter (original mac ) .
    ¿What is the problem ?
    Thanks a lot ...

    DVI-I provides the direct Analog signals needed to get VGA using a very simple adapter.
    DsiplayPort (and its Mini variant) requires a converter to produce VGA or Dual-Link DVI, and the converter must be active/powered. There is a lot of logic in those converters. It may also have additional limitations.
    In general, you should hook your highest resolution, most demanding display up with the DVI to VGA adapter.If running two Mini DisplayPort displays, ALL MiniDisplayPort converters must be active/powered.

  • Mini Display Port to VGA adapter with Mac Pro

    Just as a word of advice if you're thinking of buying a new Mac Pro and planning on hooking it up to dual VGA displays at their native resolutions - don't.
    Apple claim it will support 3 VGA displays. That might be true in a very loose sense but not in the sense that you'll actually be able to work with it.
    My experience (all using same adapter, cables and monitors):
    *Mac Pro - Dual screen set up*
    1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via DVI > VGA adapter - offers native resolution (1680x1050)
    1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - does not offer native resolution
    *Mac Pro - Dual* screen set up*
    1 x Iiyama E2472HD connected via DVI - offers native resolution (1920x1080)
    1 x Iiyama E2472HD connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - offers native resolution (1920x1080) but displays it pillar boxed (i.e. squashed)
    *MacBook Pro - Dual screen set up*
    1 x laptop screen - fine (obviously)
    1 x LG Flatron W2242S connected via Mini Display > VGA adapter - offers native res (1680x1050)
    The conclusions being that despite having the exact same configuration in terms of adapters and monitors my £3k Mac Pro is incapable of doing what my MacBook Pro can.
    I have spoken to Apple about this and they have admitted it is a limitation and suggested buying DVI monitors along with the Dual Link DVI adapter (£70).
    Not ideal.

  • TS2634 Why does only the short lightning cable supplied with my iPad work and longer cable don't?

    I have the latest iPad purchased through Kogan. It is a 64mb with retina display. It will only accept charge through the short cable supplied. I have purchased (3rd party i admit) longer cables to use for charging so I can sit at a sensible distance from a power outlet and still work on my ipad. I have now tried four separate cables from two different suppliers and none work. Curiously the last two work perfectly on wife's iPad which is identical except for being 32mb. I don't wont to now spend $25 on the longer cable now available from Apple to find the same result.  Anyone else experience this fault?

    The lightening cable is not a simple cable. It has active electronics within it and is quite clever in that the pins being used are changed depending on how the cable is being used and what is connected.
    The longer the cable, the more the level of the signals on the cable will drop. This drop is sometimes enough to properly transmit and receive power or information/data. This drop is clearly too much for your iPad so it does not work. Your wife's iPad must have a slightly better tolerance on this and therefore works but it probably only 'just' works.  iI would recommend that you do try Apple's cable as it is, no doubt, much more expensive, might have higher quality and will therefore work better.  If the cable from Apple and your iPad do not work then you have something to ask Apple about - possibly a swap of or your iPad but I would guess that the Apple cable will work.

  • Anyone tried using the Apple HDMI video adapter with an iPad 2?

    Mine doesn't recognise it. This is the second adaptor Apple has provided me with and I had a Genius check out the iPad for me. She recommended a complete reset. This hasn't fixed it. Anyone managed to get HDMI out of their iPad 2?
