VGA adapter iOS 8

Having read that non-Apple iPad 2 to HDMI connectors are not supported by iOS 8, does anyone know if my Apple iPad 2 to VGA adapter will work now I have upgraded to iOS 8?

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.

  • 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?

  • IPad 2, VGA adapter, iOS 6?

    I need to use a projector in a meeting to have the participants view my iPad 2 screen. Looking at the description in the Apple store and the reviews posted there I have some questions that I hope someone can help me with.
    1. According to The Apple Store description the VGA adapter will allow mirroring of whatever is on the iPad 2 screen to the projector. Is this indeed the case.
    2. Several reviewers indicate the VGA adapter does not work with iOS 6. Anyone using the VGA adapter with iOS 6 successfully?
    Tanks,
    Ralph

    Lats year, one of our execs using an iPad2 successfully connected to our Epson PowerLite 83C projector, but after upgrading to IOS 6, the iPad gives us an error message saying the connected accessory was not supported. We had an HP LCD projector available, and his iPad sucecssfully connected to that model the first time. It seems to be hit or miss depending on the make and model of the projector involved, but I thnk it's safe to say that the upgrade to IOS  6 was the reason the Epson is no longer recognized.

  • Lightning to vga adapter not working after ios 7 update

    After I installed ios 7 on my iphone and ipad, lightning to vga adapter A1439 stopped working on both machines. I thought that the first update would solve this problem. However, I recently installed 7.0.3 update but both machines still can not see the adapter. I tried adapter on different ios 6 machines and it works just fine.
    Will there be an update for this issue? Did you have the same problem?

  • Keynote iOS, Apple VGA adapter and Beamer, hardware or software Issue?

    hiho,
    iPad 2, newest iOS, Keynote, newest version
    original apple vga adapter
    Effect: After connecting to a projector I get a projector picture for approx 3-5 seconds.
    After this time the projector loses the signal from the iPad2.
    disconnecting and reconnecting of the iPad2 gives again 3-5 seconds of an ok picture on the projector.
    After this time the projector loses the signal again.
    did a reset of the iPad twice with no effect.
    got the effect with different projectors.
    any help appreciated
    kind regards

  • 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).

  • Lightning to VGA adapter doesn't work with Ipad Air

    I have a Lightning to VGA adapter that I want to use with my Ipad Air and pc screen. When I connect it with my Ipad and the screen, on my ipad the blue bar appears but I don't get anything on my pc screen. I dit the same with my iphone 6 and that works perfect. Any idea what the problem could be?
    Both devices has IOS 8.3.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have a similar problem to blueskoi. I have a lightning to HDMI Connector which no longer works on my iPad Air, however it still works fine on my wife's iPad 4.
    The only difference I can find is that her iPad hasn't been updated to IOS 8.3, whereas my iPad Air has.
    Is anybody else experiencing the same problem, or am I missing something?
    I have done a full settings reset on my Air but that didn't resolve it.  I get the blue bar at the top of the screen and my TV Screen flashes, but then no signal appears,
    Any help would be most gratefully received.
    Regards

  • Ipad2 gives me ""accessory is not supported" message w/ VGA adapter that I used lots of times before. Now it's not working. Why? and how do I get it back to normal functioning?

    Ipad2 gives me ""accessory is not supported" message w/ VGA adapter that I used lots of times before. Now it's not working. Why? and how do I get it back to normal functioning?
    I used the (Apple branded) VGA adapter lots of times last year. Now I got back to one place I used it many times and it does not work. When I restart iPad with the adapter connected, I get the "accessory is not supported"message. But that same accessory WAS supported before.
    This is very annoying as I planned a whole bunch of presentations starting this week to do with my iPad2 and that adapter.

    I received the same error message, "Accessory Not Supported"  from both the VGA and DV video adapters I purchased, both were boxed direct from Apple. However, to bypass this problem I  simply clicked on Photos icon on iPad2 and flipped through photos until it displayed on my projector.  I then exited the Photos app and my home screen displayed fine on the projection screen.
    Some logic issue with the video adapters, but launching Apple Photo app initializes the video adapters then they work fine for mirroring after that.
    Platform: iPad2
    IOS: 5.1.1
    Best regards!

  • Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Hey MarieF-D,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
    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.
    Note: 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,
    Matt M.

  • 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.

  • HT4108 Vga adapter for ipad not supported

    I've been using the vga adapter with a projector, but of late I've not been able to use it with my ipad2.

    Hi nlrutt,
    You do not mention whether your issue - a 30 pin to VGA adapter not working with your iPad - is with an Apple adapter or not. I will assume that it is and therefore it should function correctly.
    I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    Specifically -

    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.

    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.

  • 30 pin vga adapter

    just bought a 3rd generation iPad running iOs 6.1.2. i purchased the vga adapter so i could continue to run ppt for my class without lugging around a laptop. however, i cannot get the adapter to work. i've tried many suggestions as far as unplugging/replugging it in and refreshing the source input. Still nothing. Is it true that ios 6 doesn't support vga when apple's sti

    How are you viewing the PPT? The dock video output is not a generic feature in iOS.  Rather, individual applications must support it, and many don't.  For example, the video app does, but (I've learned), the Xfinity app doesn't.
    Test it with the video app to see if it works at all, then start investigating PPT viewers to find one that will work.

  • 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!

  • Ioad2 vga adapter

    Some months ago, I was able to connectmy iOad 2 to a beamer with a vga adapter. I could instantaneously give keynote presenetations. However, currently beamers are not recognized. I get a warning 'device not supported'. Is there something changed in IOS and/or keynote? What is the problem?

    I have used Keynote to present presentations at customer sites and conferences via the VGA Adapter, a VGA cable and projector. This is the only application that i used the adapter for. I recently upgraded to v5.1 and the first presentation i did since the upgrade was Wed, May 2, 2012 where i was embarrised to find it no longer worked in front of a large number of customers. A little warning would have been helpful.

  • No 3GS support for VGA Adapter anymore

    After the iOS 6 update I've realized that my VGA adapter became an accessory not anymore compatible with my iPhone 3GS.
    Does anyone know what happened?
    I have checked the adapter with an iPhone 4 (iOS 6) and it works fine. Same with iPad 2.
    Thanks, ALEX

    Then all I can suggest is call them back and if they do not get it again, insist on speaking with the next person up the chain of command.
    All apple hardware comes with a default one year warranty from the date of purchase, so you just need to keep escalating it until you get someone who "gets" that you are talking about a single purchase piece of hardware that has nothing at all to do with your computer, its serial number or its warranty.  Just keep your cool, be polite, but keeping moving up the supervisor chain until you are satisfied.
