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?
Regards

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.

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.
Regards

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 -
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.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

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!

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

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).

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.

After IOS 7, i am no longer able to play Netflix V.5.0.2 on TV with the VGA adapter for IPAD 2

Once IOS7 was realesed I upgraded my IPAD 2 software. Later i upgraded Netflix version for IOS 7 and suddenly i could no longer display Netflix on my tv using the cable VGA to IPAD adapter.
At first a alert appeared saying that i needed to disable air play, but did not know how to do it. When a bugged and Fixed version for Netflix came out, I upgraded it and now the only thing tha is displayed on the TV are subtitles but no image.
Can someone help me?

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

HT1657 Using a VGA adaptor with iPad 1 for iTunes movie rentals?

I have an iPad 1 with a VGA adaptor to display supported apps on external displays like YouTube and GoodReader. I tried to use this with a rented SD movie from iTunes and I got a warning along the lines of "output device not supported for protected material." Is there a way to do play iTunes rentals on an external display from the iPad? This is simple on a MacBook.
Thanks,
RSR

Hi bluemoon59,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657?viewlocale=en_US
Can I play my rental on more than one device?
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.

Sync ebooks to ipad creates ghost images in iBook , help fix please

Hi
My Partner got a new ipad air for Xmas , and I helped her put some music and books on it for her .
However when we sync the books from iTunes (new copy just put on her computer )( windows vista ) some of the books appear fine in iBook, but many other have a ghostly appearance , just a cover and many covers the same in ghost .
Most of the books came from iTunes and were fine there all look fine but only on ipad does not work. Did sync with cable not wifi . And all are in correct format as works in iTunes .
What's going on and how to fix . I already tried deleting via iTunes ( re sync with no books ) but that also leaves ghost images on ipad iBooks . Then sync again but still have same problem .
Any suggestions appreciated , had a google and the same question is around but no one has answered it yet .
That's mark

Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Which exact iBook model is it?
You can choose from this list:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
Which version of the operating system is it running now?
How much RAM is installed?
What kind of optical drive does it have? (CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD, Combo, or SuperDrive?)
(Sometimes these older model Macs simply won't work with the newer gear.)

How do I use a VGA adapter with my MacBook Air when it has no mini display port?

I bought this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200968578311 to connect my MacBook Air to a monitor but it only works in a mini display port instead, and my MacBook Air doesn't have one. What kind of adapter can I buy instead? It looks like lots of adapters are wrongly described on eBay as fitting all Macs when they don't Help gratefully received!!

If your computer has a Thunderbolt port, plug it in. Otherwise, check what type of display port your computer has and get an adapter for it.

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.

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.
