What do I need to mirror my ipad2 display to my projector?

  Projector only has inputs for VGA, s-video, and RCA.  I have an off brand 30-pin to RCA that was working for YouTube videos on my original iPad, but the ipad2 won't show anything using that cord.

Hi Winipu,
I go through my computer and use a program called Reflector to wirelessly display my iPad onto my computer. I then connect my computer to a projector via RGB so that my iPad screen can be displayed to the projector (via computer) to a screen on the wall. You can also get an Apple TV to do this (but you'll need an adapter like a Kanex to go from HDMI to VGA for your projector).
Hope this answers your question!

  • What do I need to setup a 2nd display?

    I went from a Mac Mini to an iMac 5K. The Mac Mini display was also my TV. Still using it as my TV, but would like to know what I'd need to connect it to the iMac 5K as a 2nd display. Also, by doing so, would I still be able to easily switch it from 2nd display to TV?

    Do you recommend a certain brand Mini-display port to HDMI adapter? I looked on the Apple store page as well as Amazon. The reviews of the ones I looked at weren't great. They all seem to either be defective or die within a year.

  • About to purchase my 1st imac 27in i5, what do I need to do a mirror image?

    I am very close to choosing an imac over another pc but was just wondering what I would need (and where to get it), how difficult and how much it would cost around to do a mirror image of my screen onto a 32inch samsung that has a vga port, 2HDMI ports, and a DVI? I would like to do this so I can stream my netflix onto the Samsung and watch other videos as well. Also if I do this, will this produce SOUND from my TV, I'm really hoping it does?
    (any encouragement on choosing the imac would be great too since I'm still on the fence about my new computer decision) Thanks!

    First of all, The i5 processor is screaming fast and you need only a mini display to HDMI adapter. I just set up an i7 MacBook Pro to stream netflix and you get true 1080p output with sound from all newer machines. You just navigate to the System Preferences Icon in the dock ( looks like clock works or gears),select it and go to Displays. Check the box marked "Show displays in menu bar" so you can always switch on the fly. Also click detect displays. (You only have to do this once, after that it will remember and act appropriately.) Next, Look at the top left corner of the System preference pane and click "select all" to show the main sys. pref. window again. Now click sound and select output ( you will see an option to send audio through the HDMI connection. That's it... Oh, BTW the mirroring option appears automatically in the drop down menu from the new monitor Icon that is now on the top of your screen once a second monitor is attached and on. Don't forget to adjust the monitor itself as many new LCD HD TV's have all of the settings set to nil on the 2nd and 3rd HDMI inputs until you adjust them. I just did a brand new Sony Bravia 42" and a Philips and surprisingly found this condition on both HD TV's until I set up the brightness,contrast,etc. Also of note, I've been told by a very good Apple tech that just dragging the netflix window to the new monitor gives better performance. I can't tell the difference on my setup though... I can tell you it really is a blast to watch movies streaming from my Mac onto the "big" monitor.. Have fun.... ******* Important Update ! ******.... It seems that this particular machine has been having issues with second monitors using Mini display to DVI inputs... (mouse gets jumpy ) I have not had any issues using mini-display to HDMI adapters and inputs, but ask an in store tech before you buy .... Works fine on the MacBookPro's however ....

    I'm not sure what your question has to do with networking on the AirPort Express, AirPort Extreme, or Time Capsule....but if you buy an AirPrint compatible printer, it will work with the iPad2.

  • I purchased an iPad2 in the US. What do I need to charge & use it in Australia & New Zealand?

    I purchased an iPad2 in the US. What do I need to use it & charge it while traveling in Australia & New Zealand?

    If it's 3G, and the AT&T version, then you will need local micro-sims in those 2 countries if you want to be able to use 3G whilst there (and avoid potenial roaming costs with AT&T).
    For charging you should just need plug adapters - my UK charger has 100 to 240 v (50 and 60hz) in faint grey writing on it, and I believe both NZ and Australia are 230 V  50 hz so you shouldn't need a converter.

  • What do i need to connect my macbook pro to my samsung widescreen tv?

    My Samsung Widescreen TV has a hook-up (15 pin connector/serial port?) for a PC. What do I need to do to connect my MacBook Pro to it and can I use the TV as the monitor or for viewing an internet website?  I'm trying to use the larger screen for a meeting of several people to discuss website improvements?
    Thanks

    If you can tell me whch TV & MBP you have i can give you exact cable part numbers and settings but short of that i'll try & see what i can do for you. Older MBP do not support audio over the HDMI & by default VGA doesn't either so will need an audio cable in addition to the video regardless which input you use. aparently newer MBP Do support audio over HDMI so as long as your TV does also you're a one cable hookup. My Samsung has a specific HDMI port labled DVI/ HDMI which accepts a cable i got at the apple store & simply plug  play. Look in your samsung manual to verify what resolutions the TV suppports, select the input & mode from your menue and set the resolution & you should be good to go. Obviously you'll need to do a little tweaking inorder to optimize the screen but assuming you're familliar with your mac to begin with it's a no brainer. you might not be able to run optimal resolution on the TV untill you close the lid (clamshell mode) on the MBP which means you need a key board & trackpad or mouse. on the other hand if you are attempting to mirror the displays or use it as a 2nd display those modes are also available from the MBP setup. you can detect & gather your screens & calibrate the screens right on the MBP (under dispalys) and once you have the TV reckognizing the input it's nothing but a monitor. now all of the above assumes you are NOT running Lion as i'm NOT. I hope this at least gets you in the ballpark.

  • I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, laptop had to be restored b4 I backed up iPad or saved iTunes library. How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.

    I need help,,upgraded to ipad2, my HP laptop had major issues and had to be restored b4 I could back up and save any content on the hard disc. So i havent backed up my iPad2 or saved my iTunes library.
    How do I back up and sync my ipad2 without losing content on my iPad.???
    I need really simple instructions as I've had a bad run with my laptop the last month.
    I have re-installed iTunes,it currently has no content in it
    all my music, photos etc had been saved to a an external Hardrive (phew)so I'm not concerned about losing them during a sync, but how do I sync my Ipad without losing the applications... The last back up saved was in June when I still had an ipad1
    I tried to back it up last night but kept getting the prompts something to the effect of "iPad can only be synced to 1 iTunes library, syncing will erase all content and replace with content on this iTunes library".  
    Help please,, I've already lost endless hours fixing my PC issues,so I'm not game to attempt this issue without guarantee I won't lose everything,need a simple solution that anyone can follow as my brain has information overload!!! Lol
    Thanks

    This should help you out. I copied this from another discussion a while back. Here is the original discussion link.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11527071#11527071
    This is what is in the discussion. It really doesn't get any easier than this.
    1) Without connecting your iPad to your laptop, start iTunes. Click on Edit. Click on Preferences. Click on Devices. Check the box next to "Prevent your iPod etc. from automatically syncing." Click OK.
    2) Now connect your iPad to your laptop and start iTunes.
    3) When iTunes starts, right click on your iPad under Devices in the left column. Select Transfer purchases etc.
    4) After it finishes transferring all your apps to your new laptop, right click on your iPad and select Backup your iPad.
    5) After it finishes backing up your iPad, right click on your iPad and select Restore etc.
    6) After it finishes restoring, left click on your iPad , then click on the Apps tab on top, and check the box next to Sync Apps, then click on Apply below.
    If everything on your iPad looks good after the sync, go back and click on Edit / Preferences / Devices and UN-check the box next to Prevent your iPod etc. The only other thing you may want to check is if your contacts, bookmarks, etc. are syncing correctly now. If not, go to the Info tab after connecting and make sure you indicate which features you want to sync with what sources.

  • Best External Monitor for the DV SE 500 and what connections are needed?

    Hello everyone.
    What do people think is a good LCD monitor for the slot loader iMac? (I'm here in UK with access to PC world and Currys, etc,)
    I've never looked but I'm sure from other posts that I will have a connector under a panel round the back somewhere.
    I've seen monitors for sale at various prices ranging from £120 to £250. I've also noticed that some come with a HDMI (?) cable that seems to big for the connection port on my Powerbook so I'm wondering if the iMac's port will also need some sort of adapter. Are there such things as mini HDMI's and normal HDMI's and can a cable/adapter be bought to solve the problem?
    I really wanted a Mac display but from posts elsewhere I find that these need digital connections and neither my iMac nor my 550 Powerbook has digital out.
    So - I'm assuming I need a monitor with an analogue connection - possibly together with an adapter cable.
    I'm thinking no bigger than 19".
    I'm also wondering if I should try to find one with a resolution that matches both my Macs - is this possible? I know the Powerbook will run displays of several resolutions (millions of colours) in display closed mode but I'm not sure what the iMac will support.
    I've seen monitors quoting 1280x1024 as something called a native resolution. Is this important?
    What do people think/advise? Many of you will have hooked up an external LCD monitor to your iMacs and will have cracked all these issues.
    Can you help with some info please?
    Cheers to all, Russ

    Russ, 
    1. The iMac G3 (>=400MHz) has a standard VGA port (15pin D-Sub) which is standard for analogue PC monitors.
    2. New LCD panels will either have a newer digital DVI connection (which current Apple Displays use) and/or use the older analogue VGA connection for wider compatibility.
    3. LCDs look sharpest in their native resolution. You can see this effect by changing the resolution down from the maximum on your TiBook. The display is still visible but less defined.
    4. As the iMac G3 can only "mirror" the internal display on to the external you may wish to look for an XGA (1024x768) panel. However, the Powerbook Ti can display a wide range of resolutions (see the full list in this link) in either "mirror" or "dual-display" mode.
    The issue here is that a display that makes full advanatge of your Powerbook's capabilties is overkill for an iMac G3's limited capabilites.
    5. FYI, HDMI is a digital connection for Digital TVs. It is similar to DVI technology but carries sound data too.
    6. Here's a large selection for well under £150 (link).
    regards

  • What are my options for mirroring my ipad3 through a desktop pc (without wireless) to a data projector?

    The desktop PC (Windows 7) does not have wireless. I have a VGA cable that I can plug directly to the data projector cable, however, I need the mirroring to go through the PC (because I am recording using desktop recording software).
    I'm using Air Sketch for drawings in lectures and other various apps. What are my options to make this happen?
    Cheers.

    Of the two, go for AirServer. Some 1-2 weeks ago, I've very thoroughly benchmarked the two apps (also posted the results here) and found out that AirServer is clearly better in every respect.

    What blue bubble are you trying to turn on? If you mean that the Send button will not work, go to Settings>Messages>Show Subject Field>Off. Make sure that is set to off.
    If you send an iMessage, the texts between the devices appear in a blue bubble.
    iMessages only work between iOS devices and they are different than the standard text messages that any cell phone can send to another cell phone.
