DVI to VGA Adapter Closed Lid Mode Distorted Picture on TV

Hi
I managed to hook up the DVI to VGA adapter and view on my Sanyo TV. Nothing fancy just a older TV.
I am feeding through the Yellow Video output into the video input on the TV. (Also tried s-video)
Viewing with the macbook lid open no problems. Remembered that I could close the lid.
Followed the instructions online about connecting, closing the lid and waking up using my bluetooth mouse.
First time things went well - able to use Front Row and View Slideshows etc. also steaming video from Safari, (TV Land for my kid)
Then the screen began to flash - and change to black with rolling images.
Like you used to have in the 60-70's black and white TV - multiple images rolling past over and over.
I tried rebooting - starting new connections, using different cables, using both VGA and S-Video directly into the TV and not through my reciever.
Any ideas!
I can't use closed lid mode at all. I must instead, dim my screen.
Help?
Thanks
Buddy

Thanks, BSteely, I have the latest QT and iTunes already. Closing the lid seems to kick the MacBook external display into some special mode that Front Row can't display videos in. For example, you get the Front Row interface, but as you select movies/TV shows, the preview window on the left side is blank. Open the cover, and have both displays going, and you can see the previews fine (and of course, you can see the movies/TV shows play fine as well when you click on them)
Running Quicktime Player full screen works fine without Front Row in either open or closed lid mode. So it is apparently something wrong with Front Row itself.

Useless VGA Adapter

I mistakenly thought I'd be able to use the VGA adapter to view the screen of my iPad mirrored on a monitor. However, the VGA adapter only supports video output from certain applications. There is no way to simply view a Safari web page on the monitor.
The VGA adapter also does not have an option for plugging in to power while viewing video. So, you have to run off battery. The Composite/Component connectors ship with a power supply so you can plug in the iPad while watching videos.
And, of course, the VGA adapter doesn't do anything for sound. Overall much more limited than the Composite/Component cables and lacking the most obvious functionality which business users might want.

Can I project Adobe Viewer by plugging my ipad2 to a projector via VGA adapter?

Can I project Adobe Viewer by plugging my ipad2 to a projector via VGA adapter?

Whatever is on the ipad is what will be on the screen.

What is the difference between a VGA adapter and an AV adapter? Which would be better for my iPad 2 if I just wanted it for games and browsing the Internet?

If I just wanted to play games and surf the web, would a VGA adapter or an AV adapter be better? For my iPad 2? I asked my family for a VGA adapter for Christmas and I'm not too sure if it's the one I want. Also, what is the difference?

DVI to VGA adapter, monitor says "input not supported"

I have just received my MBP yesterday and, when I attempted to attach it via DVI to VGA adapter to my Acer AL2016W flat panel LCD, the monitor told me "input not supported". I was under the impression VGA is VGA is VGA. Perhaps I am mistaken. There is no DVI port on this monitor so I am, essentially, screwed ATM unless I purchase yet another monitor - this one is less than a year old. I require my MBP to be attached to an external monitor due to a disability, and am not sure what to do. I don't believe it to be an isolated issue, especially after viewing some of the other posts about the graphics card being an issue as well. I wish Apple would come forward with a resolution. I realize this issue has probably been posted somewhere already, however I am unable to sift through all the posts due to the aforementioned disability and inability to attach to external monitor. I just can't sit here for that long, so I offer my apologies.

First off, are you connecting in the proper sequence? That is:
1. MBP and monitor powered on
2. connect monitor's VGA cable to the DVI-to-VGA adapter
3. connect DVI-to-VGA adapter to the MBP's DVI port
In that way, the MBP should autodetect the monitor and set the resolution appropriately. Else, the output resolution of the MBP may not suit the monitor, and the monitor will give a "not supported" error.
As a side note, have you considered the options in System Preferences > Universal Access? Options include Zoom, VoiceOver (spoken screen selections), making the cursor larger, and other enhancements for the visually impaired.
Hope this helps...

Rocketfish RF-AP307 mini dispalyport to Vga Adapter

Hi. I just bought a rocketfish RF-AP307 mini dispalyport to Vga Adapter for my 11" MacBook Air. I plugged it in and all I can see is a flash of blue then the original galaxy desktop with out any of the things I have on it on my copmuter. When I open the internet or anything, all I see is gray and I cant hear anything.I can see when I switch from one page to another buts its still all gray. Can anybody help me?

Hi

Now I will try to chek if the adapter works on other pc and monitor.
Thanks
(anyway it was the firs time i connect this mac to an external monitor)

How can I display to a projector using the VGA adapter?

Using a VGA Adapter to the Thunderbolt connection, I can display a Keynote presentation just fine, but I cannot seem to display the screen to project an internet page to a group of people. Is there some trick to this?

From your description my guess is that you need to open System Preferences and select the Displays tab. Then click on the Arrangement tab and in the bottom right hand corner click on Mirror Displays. My guess is that at the moment your display setup is for 2 separate displays, 1 for the computer and 1 for the projector.

VGA adapter will not output 1024x768!

I have the iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter connected to an iPhone 4 and an Epson EX30 projector. Apple specifies that the VGA Adapter outputs only 1024x768 for iPad and iPhone 4. The EX30 projector has no manual resolution settings, and autodetects the iPhone 4's vga signal immediately upon starting videos or slideshows.
PROBLEM: When I run a Camera app slideshow, the photos are tiny, and surrounded by a large black border, as wide as the photos themselves. This is using photos that were shot with the high-res cam on the phone. The projector's auto-resolution info says the iPhone 4 is outputting 1280x720, instead of the correct 1024x768.
I tried an HD video shot with the iPhone 4 in the camera roll. This time it expands to meet the left and right sides of the screen, as one would expect, with a little black border on top and bottom.
Then I outputted a 1024x768 movie in iMovie and loaded it onto the phone. I played it, and the projector still reported resolution as 1280x720, and the movie was clearly surrounded on all sides by a black border, though much less of one than the photos were.
What's going on here, can someone else try the VGA output from a slideshow? I called AppleCare and they had no idea, and are going to get back to me next week.

I would like to output slideshows from the iPhone 4. What must I do? The output from the iPhone is read by my projector as 640x480! It looks terrible! Movies look okay, probably because I encoded them at 640x352. Another projector I tried claimed to receive a signal of 1280x720 but still looked awful and was still not the putative 1024x768 emitted by the iPhone 4.
I have tried an assortment of apps to view slideshows with text: goodreader, icab (supposedly fixed the vga output problem in Nov 5 update), perfect browser, atomic web browser, and all have extremely jagged fonts. The only even slight relief I got was in a photo of a magazine ad projected via the built-in photo gallery.
A related issue is that I can not seem to display high res jpg conversions of the slides through the browsers. Even if I load a 4000x2000 pixel jpg, the browsers that report resolution (iCab Mobile and Perfect Browser) never report above 1008x567 pixels.
Using the same vga adapter on my iPad yields perfect results. So I was hoping that iOS4.2, which I got today, would solve the problem. No such luck. I can not see any improvement.

VGA Adapter for iPad

Help. I built a photo presentation on my iPad using the Keynote app. yesterday I stopped into the Apple store and picked up a VGA Adapter so I could view the presentation via projector. I can't seem to get it to work. The projector works with my laptop, but not the iPad. Any ideas out there?

I would troubleshoot by trying out a monitor rather then the projector
then I would try using apps I know to support the adaptor like video and youtube and pictures and the likes
and see where that lead me

Input signal out of range with HDMI to VGA adapter LE1901w

Hi!
Recently I acquired an LE1901w monitor to use as second screen. I'm trying to connect it to my Toshiba u925 using an HDMI to VGA adapter (because neither the monitor has a HDMI port nor the notebook has a VGA output).
I'm getting the message "input signal out of range" asking to change to 1440x920 @ 60Hz and it keeps showing until the monitor goes to sleep even when I change the settings as per requested.
I have an integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000 and i'm using the default Windows monitor drivers for Windows 8.1
Any comment will be helpful
Thanks

Project using hdmi to vga adapter

I have an HP Spectre 13, and need to to display to vga projectors. I bought the HDMI - VGA adatper for this purpose.
When I use the vga plug from a standard flat panel monitor, it works fine.
But I have yet to find either a projector, or a large flat panel (like a ig screen TV), where it works.
Of course I know about going to the "Devices" and then "Project" menu (which can also be accessed using the Windows+P keys), but it still doesn't come up after choosing the "Duplicate" option.
It feels as though there must be somewhere one can find a menu for adjustments, but I have failed to find it so far.
Thanks for any help than can be offered.

Hi Mario,
    My main point is that I go around giving Powerpoint presentations. For this I need a computer which will drive a projector. My understanding is that many people in the worl routinely do this, and the standard for this is a plug called "VGA", which is generally colored blue. I have found these all over the world.
    Now this latest computer does not have a VGA connection. This kind of makes sense, because it is elegantly thin, and the VGA is pretty fat. I get the feeling that more modern graphics connections are HDMI (which the computer has), and something that used to be called "Firewire", which seems to be becoming the Mac standard. I read about this when I bought the computer, and for that reason, at the same time that I purchased the computer, I also purchased an HDMI to VGA adapter.
    I have been having a really hard time making this work tyring lots of computers.
   I had an interesting experience today (while giving such a formal presentation. When my usual adapter failed, a friend loaned me an Apple adapter for Firewire to VGA. That worked well, but seemed to cause far different behavior in the Powerpoint viewer. But I went ahead and gave my talk.
    Afterwards, I fiddled with things, noted that how well that works depends on the ORDER in which I connect. If I first plugged the adapter into my computer, then the projecters VGA into the adapter, it would not work. But if I reversed that, then it does work. Any explanation of what is going on there? Isn't an electrical connection and electrical connection?
    Based on that I decided to try the same with myHDMI - VGA adapter, and that worked too!
    Please tell me where in any f HP's documentation it says that this order matters, and the correct order is given!?!?
Best,
Steve

HP Smarttouch 15-n006ed with H4F02AA (hdmi to vga adapter) possible?

Hi all,
A few days ago I bought a notebook (type '15-n006ed'). When i got home, i noticed the notebook had no VGA-output. I bought the notebook for school and i need to connect it with the beamer (i'm a teacher) so i need an hdmi to vga adapter....
I found information about an adapter from HP on the internet, but my notebook is not in the list of compatible devices. Is it possible to use the adapter anyway or is there an alternative for it?
The type of the adapter is: H4F02AA
Thanks in advance!

Yes an HDMI to VGA adapter will work fine. Keep in mind it will not carry audio but neither did your old vga connection so I am assuming it is not a problem.
You would find an HDMI to VGA at any Best Buy or you can order on one amazon.com such as here:
http://www.amazon.com/BestDealUSA-Adapter-Converter-Laptop-NoteBook/dp/B007PLL4CK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8...
Connect the projector and use the Windows key at the lower left of the keyboard and the p key at the same time and it brings up a "projector" console that lets you easily switch from laptop to projector to laptop + projector.

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.

IPad VGA adapter, picture is dull & pink connected to my projector

I'm having a problem with my VGA connector, and I desperately need a fresh point of view in this issue.
When I connect my iPad to my projector, the picture has a dull reddish, pinkish hue to it. This is true for everything- video app, Netflix, slideshows, etc.
connection path:
IPad -> Dock/VGA plug -> VGA cable -> VGA to DVI-A adapter -> Projector DVI-I input (both DVI-A and D)
When I remove my projector and DVI-I adapter from the equation, and plug the VGA cable into a computer monitor, everything looks great. Also, I've tried replacing my iPad in the equation with other computers that have a VGA output, and they all work with the DVI-A adapter and the projector.
So far, my assumption was that something was going on with the iPad and the DVI-A adapter, but I've tried three different adapters, and I get the same results.
I'm completely stumped. Any ideas?

Late reply I know, but I was googling for iPhone pink VGA and landed here. I was curious if I was the only one. I had a chance to try an iPhone and VGA adapter with a number of displays and I have to say.... 16:9 VGA output on the iPhone blows chunks.
On a HP 23" display, it was totally confused about the resolution (it thought it was 1152*720) and tried to display it inset in a 1920*1080 display.... shifted badly to the right.
A Sony XBR LCD TV displayed it shifted badly up and to the left. Had to max out all video position controls to get it back to the middle.
A TV-One Scaler displayed everything in a dull pink, but at was centered properly on the display.
The only one that got it right was a Dell 4:3 LCD display. However the phone was putting out 1024*768, not 1280*720.
I don't think 16:9 output on the iPhone 4 was tested much.... if at all.
