My Dock Connector to VGA Adapter only shows up for a few seconds

Hello, and as the title says, I have some problems with my VGA adapter.
I am using iOS 8.1 with the iPad (3rd Generation)
So far, I have only got it to work twice, when I plugged it in, appeared for a few seconds, then disappears off my screen.
The second time I plugged it in, it worked for 1-2 seconds, then a message came up saying that the accessory may not be supported and when I pressed the button it was gone again.
The VGA cable and screen was working when I plugged in the Thunderbolt to VGA adapter so I think there has to be a problem with the iPad adapter or something.
If anyone is able to give help, I would be grateful.
Thank You

Ah, that does make a difference. Orange is the color of the light when it's charging. The LED can be, and sometimes is, really red when there's a hardware problem, but it never should be red. If yours is never really red, that's good.
Read the article I've linked below, with particular attention to item 3 under "Troubleshooting". I suspect the power supply in your house, or at least at the outlets you've tried, is very noisy. But testing with a different AC adapter may tell the tale, and testing with both adapters in a different building might confirm the conclusion.

Has anyone else had this problem & worked out how to fix it.

That is how your ipad is designed to work.
Maybe try resetting network settings. If all else fails you can do a back up and restore as new to be certain there is no issue with your software.

HT2486 the photos that I add to address book will only be there for a few seconds after I close the edit button. Either they go away completely or they a very small portion of the actual photo

the photos that I add to address book will only be there for a few seconds after I close the edit button. Either they go away completely or they are very small portion of the actual photo

Frank, thanks for your note. I wrote "COMPLETED" because I had gone to a lot of effort to get the content of the book precisely as I wanted it. I would fully expect to see my level of effort and care matched by functional competence in Aperture 3 to render the book the way I created it. Too much to ask?
And yes, I upgraded the Aperture 2 Library first. [Not ALL my tens of 000s of pix, because I use Lightroom selectively for photo editing. But Yes to the Aperture 2 Library.] That step took a number of minutes, but seemed to work fine (no error messages of any kind).
Then I opened the existing book project in Aperture 3, which followed some "magic-box" process that took a minute or so. As I said, when that step was done, by all appearances the book was ready to submit for printing - until I examined the photos a little more closely. You did see the blurry example I included, didn't you? That is what each and every photo looks like.
Text-box content appears to have been rendered pertectly, for the record (including captions).
So, ... is this result something you have heard of before? Do you know of a one-step solution? Or am I looking at an extended picture-by-picture fix?

I have an ipod ist generation. when i tap on a game it shows up for a few seconds and disappears. all my games do that. how do i fix?

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
Also
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up

My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors. I turned it off and had to use the two button trick to turn it back on. Now it shows only green stripes for a few seconds and goes back to sleep.

My iPad suddenly started to show crazy colors. I turned it off. It would not reboot until I used the two-button reboot. Now it shows only green stripes. only for a few seconds and goes back to sleep. HELP!

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

Brand new apple tv not working. when i turn it on, the apple symbol shows up for a few seconds and then signal is lost but power on the apple tv stays on. i've reset and unplugged several times but same thing happens.

i hooked it up with hdmi cable - doubled checked all connections - connected power cord - set tv to HDMI input - the apple tv comes on and the apple logo shows up - after about 2 seconds signal is lost from the apple tv - the tv screen displays "no signal" - the power light on the apple tv remains on - i've reset and restarted but the same thing keeps happen - the logo shows up then disappears and all signal is lost to the tv

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Ipod touch will no longer sync my songs, they show up for a few seconds then disappear help

for some reason when I try to sync my songs to my ipod touch, they will all show up briefly, then disappear once I hit the sync button? very frustrating, have never had this problem in the past, any suggestions would be great

If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first. Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

If firefox starts, the startingpage (whitch is google) shows up for a few seconds, and then go away, and i get a white background with nothing on

Firefox is gisteren beginnen raar doen, je opent de browser, de startpagina komt er 2 seconden op, en dan verdwijnt die, ik krijg dan een wit scherm, en het is zo bij elke pagina die ik open, (facebook, youtube....) Wat kan dit probleem zijn?

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

I am live an hour from verizon store and three hours from an Apple Store. I would like to try something before driving that far.

HT4060 Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%. All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged informatio

Cannot get iPad 2 charged beyond 1%. All charging ports tried: AC adapter(s), USB 2 port on MacBook Pro. ITunes shows iPad only for a few seconds. iPad displays alternately: Apple logo, battery w/slim red band, then battery w/1% charged information. How can I get it to charge beyond 1% so I can proceed to troubleshoot?

I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Y5YXLK/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&p sc=1
At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it...

iPad 1 does not do screen mirroring like the iPad 2.

HT201263 iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off

iphone only shows logo for 13 seconds when connected to pc thats all it does however i connected to wall socket, it goes up to connect to itunes but when i unplug it then it switches off.
this is coincidently after an ios update for iphone which i did just approx two days earlier which was suppused to fix battery issues?
also battery shows 100 percent full but as i explained if disconected from socket it switches off altogether.

Hopefully and most likely faulty battery. If you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take to Apple for resolution.
