Vga output from iPhone

I don't know if this is the correct place for this post or not. I teach at the post graduate level and give many lectures. I need to find out if the videos that I create and download to iTunes can be run from the iPhone through the vga in our auditorium so that I do not have to bring in my MacBook. This is especially a problem if I do it spur of the moment and I do not have my MacBook with me. Projection system is windows based but I never have a problem playing the Quicktime videos from my MacBook using the vga adapter that came with it.
Apple composite or component cables will not solve the problem.
Thanks

Ansus is right; however, there are lot of (relatively) cheap VGA convertors that can work with the component out cable for the iPhone.
http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/vga-rgb-component.html
and these do work just fine with the iPhone component cable because another poster here got and used them.
Now, remember that videos on the iPhone need to be MPEG4 -- you can convert them even in iTunes by right-clicking and doing a "Convert for iPod". Otherwise you'll be set.

Why is VGA output from mu iPad2 intermittent?

I was doing a presentation that used VGA output from my iPad2 to a projector. Intermittently, my iPad would drop the output. A fellow instructor had no problems when he patched in his iPad. Both of our iPhones also worked continuously (when patched in via the same (Apple-branded ) VGA Adapter cable. Has anybody heard of anything similar? P.S. I hate 'intermittent' problems as much as anybody reading this.

Did you check if you have the latest VGA driver on Win7?

Selecting audio output from iPhone - bluetooth or dock?

Hi
I have a problem selecting audio output on my iPhone 3GS with my incar system
Set up:
Dension ipod dock connected direct to CD changer port on Radio
Bury Bluetooth hands free device.(CC9060)
My preferred option is to have the Dension play my audio.
However when I turn on the iPod function on the iPhone, the audio defaults to the Bury hands free system and tried to stream the audio via bluetooth which the phone cannot do.
On the bottom right of the screen on the iPhone, I see a speaker icon - I click on this and I get the option to select the iPod Dock or the CC 9060 (Which is the Bury Hands free)
I can select the iPod dock and teh audio plays fine, however, how to I force the iPhone to always use the iPod dock and not the Bury hands free.
From what I can tell, its not the Bury which is forcing teh choice - its the iPhone, but I cannot see anywhere where there is an option to choice the iPod dock as the default audio device.
Any one have any ideas?
Thanks
Glenn

Found a quite probable fix.
I've took my dock station under big lens and noticed a stuck contact -- they are supposed to be somewhat movable. So I pick a real small screwdriver and unstuck the contact.
Issue is apparently gone.

Audio output from iPhone iTunes to TV Aux input

I'm trying to play music that's on my iPhone's iTunes through a component cable connected to my TV's AUX input, that in turn is connected to my receiver. It's physically easier to connect the cables on the front of the TV rather than to connect it to the back of the receiver. I've tried connecting the component cables directly to the base of the iPhone, and also through the iPhone's cradle, and then plugging just the right and left audio into the TV AUX input, but nothing happens. Any suggestions on what's wrong? Thanks.

well, you have to have your TV on the correct 'input' mode so it is using the audio coming in through the jacks on the front of the tv. you will then have to have your tv hooked up to your receiver. your tv will have to be on in order for this to work.
since you will only be connecting the cable one time, wouldn't it be simple to connect the cable to your receiver? that way, your tv doesn't have to be on in order for this to work.
just my thoughts...

Toshiba vga output to lg vga input flashing issue

I did a vga output from my toshiba satellite L355D-S7901 to my LG tv and it works fine for the most part, but I have periodic flashing on the tv when I'm watching video or anything else. How can I correct this issue?

Welcome to the forum.
I'm responding to this because no one else has so far, not because I have experience with what you want to do in connecting a T61 to a TV.
First, yes a T61 can play downloaded videos. If for some reason you have problems with playing specific videos I'd suggest you install VLC media player for Windows. This software can play virtually all audio and video formats. It's never let me down.
Now as to connecting the T61 to a TV, there are adapters that go from a USB port on the T61 to an HDMI port on the TV. Here's one example, IMAGE Lenkeng LKV325 USB to HDMI Adapter Converter with 3.5mm Audio Cable. You can buy similar adapters at Best Buy etc. so you might want to bring your T61 to the store and make sure the adapter works before you buy it. In particular you will need to ensure that you have a 3.5mm audio input on your TV (or AV receiver, etc.) If not you'll have to rely on the built-in speaker in the T61 which may not be ideal.
You will also need standard HDMI and 3.5mm audio cables to go from the adapter to the TV. These are available in many lengths, e.g. 3', 6', 10' etc.

Poor iPhone video output from QT Pro

I am creating videos for my website using the File > Export for Web option in QuickTime Pro.
My problem is with the generated file for the iPhone "myfile-iPhone-cell.3gp". The video generated for the iPhone is very poor quality - it is very pixelated when streamed over the internet. I believe this is due to the fact that it is generated by QuickTime Pro at 176x109px, which is about 1/2 the size of the iPhone's actual screen. So, when it gets to the iPhone, it has to be "enlarged" and then gets grainy. If I stream a large dimension MP4 file, like 640x480px (from another software converter) into my iPhone, it looks really great.
So, I'm wondering why the programmers at Apple, who have direct access to the hardware and software, chose to output the iPhone-cell.3gp file at such a small dimension? Is there a way to correct this or am I stuck with what I get? I feel the video quality is not good enough to put on our corporate website.
Any advice on this is appreciated. Thanks.

The cell type movies are meant for ten-year old Nokias.
I feel the video quality is not good enough to put on our corporate website.
Then don't post it. Or enlarge it.
Use a larger export size. The iPhone type. It's for the iPhone: myfile-iPhone.m4v
It's not difficult to figure that out. And you seem to know the answer:
If I stream a large dimension MP4 file, like 640x480px (from another software converter) into my iPhone, it looks really great.
And why not try them all. Why not try? Why so helpless?

Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
Thank you !!

How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

Cannot use VGA output on my Satellite A100

I have Satellite A100 laptop and when I use the VGA output my monitor informs their is NO signal. I have checked my monitor and it does work.
What I would like to know since their is no signal output from my VGA does this also mean that the *S-Video* will not have any signal either?
I dont have a S-Video >> VGA adapter as present trying to save the cost of buying one if it does not work...

I really don't know what are you doing wrong?
Is your notebook connected with VGA cable or with some adapter to the VGA port on your notebook?
When monitor is connected please use FN+F5 key combination to switch between LCD display and connected monitor.
Does this work?

Tearing on VGA output, LVDS OK on 950GMA with xf86-video-intel-2.6.10

I'm crossposting this message i sent on intel-graphics ml and xorg bugzilla, because maybe some of you can point me to a solution.
i own an asus eeepc1005ha, it uses intel gma 950.
Playing a video on the internal LVDS panel is very pleasing and tear
free, but as soon as i connect the vga output, i can notice tearing or
flickering on the picture.
I tried all possible configurations:
-Booting with the lid open (tty on LVDS) and then switching to xorg
with a VGA only output. (VGA tears)
-Booting with the lid closed (tty on VGA) and using xorg on VGA. (VGA tears)
-VGA+LVDS in clone mode (VGA and LVDS tears)
-VGA+LVDS in multihead mode (expanded desktop) (VGA and LVDS tears)
Using xv adaptor via mplayer results in a different tear effect, seems
more like a flickering, while the GL output definitely tears.
I couldn't try overlay adaptor because i don't have a 2.6.33 kernel yet
(believe it or not, i've seen overlay tearing too with an old intel
driver in the past, i think 2.7.1, in a cloned mode if lvds was at
60hz, while vga was at 70hz)
I'm using xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9
I used the framerate test videos available here:
http://spng.se/frame-rate-test/
Thanks for reading.

You're right, here's the references:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/i … 06092.html
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26925
About your command, i'll try, but what it does is just picking the first port from first adaptor, right?
By now (xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9), we just have a single adaptor, the textured one;
why the first port should make a difference?
Maybe with your setup the overlay adaptor was picked, and in 99% of the cases that would certanly help.
As a side note, newer mplayer versions comes with an useful option: -vo xv:adaptor=#
What i think is that vblank interrupts generation is (and was) messed up in the drivers code.

Satellite Pro U200: VGA output not working properly when AC adapter was connected

Hi,
I have a problem with vga output. When I'm working on battery and connect my notebook to external monitor it's ok, but when I connect AC adaptor then start waving also bluetooth and wlan does not work properly. In other case when I remove battery from notebook and connect AC adaptor it works properly.
thanks in advance

As long as you use a CRT you should set the refresh rate new, at least 85Hz. Standard is 60Hz as far as I know, and that hurts in your eyes.
The wireless lan behaviour is quite normal as long as your not right next to the access point. On battery power the wireless lan card reduces its energy consumption thus the connection will be poor if you dont have a perfect signal. You can turn this off in the iNTEL Pro/SET wireless software, where you can configure the adaptor. Try to change the powersafe mode to manual and full power, this should solve your problem.

Can a laptop with VGA output use the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display?

I bought a 2011 Macbook Air and I'm thinking about upgrading my office monitor. The new Apple Thunderbolt 27" display comes to mind.
However, I also have a Lenovo X201 with VGA output, which I would also like to connect to the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display sporadically.
Will the VGA to mini-display port adapter work? If not, does there exist a VGA to mini-display port converter that will work and if so which one?

You are thinking of that adapter backwards. It is not VGA to MDP but is "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter". This means it will take video out of a a MDP connection and convert it to a VGA connection. It will not go the other direction like you need.
Sorry but that Lenovo just doesn't have the ability to connect to the new display. If it had a HDMI video port like some other Lenovo models, you could adapt from that but I don't know of any VGA to Mini-DisplayPort/ThunderBolt adapters.
Even if you were to use such an adapter, the video card in that laptop couldn't drive a 27" display at the native resolution so it would look very bad.
One other option would be to use the Lenovo X200 docking station which has a full sized Display Port. You would have to use a Display Port to Mini Display port adapter then you could attach the TB cable to it. There is also a USB video replicator that has a DVI-I output then then yet another adapter to get to Mini-Display.
However, both of these options would still be limited by the graphics card at 1920x1080 so it still wouldn't look good.

No digital video output from XVR-300 in Ultra-45

I am switching from solaris 10/x86 to sparc. I have a new Ultra-45 with XVR-300 graphics adapter. It's running Solaris 10u4. The system was ordered as a standard configuration from the catalog.
The XVR-300 graphics adapter currently produces no digital output. My Sun A1240P0 24" monitor reports no signal on the DVI input. That is, there is no digital output at power on (boot ROM), during Solaris boot (terminal), nor after Solaris finishes booting (X).
The graphics adaptor uses a connector with two video outputs, and comes with a splitter cable with two DVI output connectors. I get no video output on either. The DVI cable I am using is the one that works when connected to the graphics adaptor on the old system.
I added a VGA adapter plug to connector 1 of the splitter cable, and was able to get an analog signal to drive the display via the VGA input connector.
The manuals for the Ultra-45 and for the XVR-300 make no mention of analog vs digital output. They both just say to connect the adapter to the monitor.
Since I can get analog output from the SVR-300, the card is basically working. The DVI cable and the monitor's DVI input work with another system. The only variables are the digital output from the XVR-300 and the splitter cable. (The splitter cable's analog signals work.)
How can I activate digital output and make it the default?

VGA output - no signal or image

So, I've had this machine for almost two years and I am having a problem that I simply should have discovered before now.
As you know from the heading, I have no signal at all from my VGA output. The adapter works. I know this because I've used my wife's iBook to check it and I have also tried the adapter that came with her computer, which also works on hers but not mine. My computer is recognizing that a monitor has been attached to it and even correctly identifies the monitor in the displays menu and in System Profiler. But no usable signal is getting sent to the external display. Any external display. I've tried about six by now, ranging from 15" CRTs to 22" LCDs. The monitors are all working properly.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem? Do I just have a bad mini-VGA port? Is there some kind of software troubleshoot I can try? I have some work coming up soon that I need to be able to view a lot of information all at once and an external display would make my life a great deal easier. Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi Frank
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I thought this thread had gone dead, like my projector connection!
Well, I've been running around doing all kinds of things and I found a solution - perhaps totally by chance.
I went to confer with a 'video guru' at my local Apple retailer. He reckoned that my PB was sending out the video signal 'too fast' (faster processor than previous iBook and PB) so the projector could not pick up the signal. He advised me to try to reduce the resolution to 800x600 and also use the lowest possible refresh rate. Well, that sounded plausible.
But on the way home, I stopped by at a computer accessories store to buy a replacement VGA-VGA cable to connect my PB to the projector; the original one is a little short. I was intrigued to find that this was labelled as a 'SVGA' cable, although externally it looks just like a common garden VGA cable.
When I got home and plugged it all together - without any thought about sequence of connection or resolution - it worked straight away.
So how do you answer that! Still, I'm keeping a record of your instructions, in case I had inadvertently done that. Well, see next time.
Cheers.
Robert
