Why is my iPad 2 no longer able to screen share to external monitor?

I used to connect my ipad 2 to various shared displays via HDMI and VGA converter cords quite frequently. The other day I connected and no signal is found...tried multiple screens, projector and different cords. Convinced its my iPad. Fixable? Hardware issue, firmware, software? Any ideas?

My iPad is no longer able to sustain radio livestreaming.

My iPad is no longer able to sustain radio livestreaming as it has in the past. It drops the stream a minute or so in now. My Macbook has no problem with the same streaming. What might be going on here?

Hello Christine,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with streaming on your iPad. I wonder if this is being caused by an issue with Wi-Fi.
I recommend the following steps:
Be sure you're in range of your Wi-Fi router (access point).
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi off and on. If your W-Fi setting is dimmed, follow these steps.
Confirm that your Wi-Fi router and cable or DSL modem are connected to power, turned on, and connected to the Internet. If not, refer to your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP) for assistance.
Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.
Update your device to the latest version of software.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware2. For AirPort Base Stations, install updates using the AirPort Utility.
If the issue is still unresolved Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
Check for sources of potential interference.
Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including
previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
recently used Bluetooth accessories
VPN and APN settings

Why is my ipad taking so long to charge now that I upgraded to ISO 7. Not happy

Why is my ipad taking so long to charge. I upgraded to iso7.01 and it takes forever and I am not happy

Have you reset you iPad,or tried deleting the apps that are crashing and then opening them again. Or closing them and reopening them. Also clear Safari and see it that helps. There have been a few other posts like yours , and I can't figure out why it happens to some ipads and not others. I have not even seen what happens with a "crash" occurs and I use mine all the time. Good luck.

Help!

Are you sure the device is charging?
Try resetting the device. Hold the sleep wake button and the home button at the same time for 10-15 seconds (until you see the Apple Logo, then release).

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Why is it that when I plug my Macbook Pro to an external monitor, the external monitor turns black and shows the mouse only

Hi, yes preferences sees there is a second display it recognises what make of monitor it is etc but I just get a blank blue screen on the monitor when I change it to the hdmi setting! I have tried with mirroring on and off, rearranging the displays in the preference window and lots of different resolution settings but with no difference.
An old MacBook connects fine so the monitor and hdmi port must be okay. I'm sure we have used the cable before but it could have been with the previous MacBook Air. The current one I'm using is a mid 2011 version running lion and is (according to software update) all up to date.
Any thoughts or help would be appreciated!

Upgraded to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro in Bootcamp, can no longer drive retina display and two external monitors simultaneously?

Greetings
I just upgraded from Mountain Lion and Windows 7 Ultimate (Bootcamp) to Yosemite and Windows 8.1 Pro on a late 2012 MBP 13" Retina. Prior to the upgrades, I was able to drive the retina panel and two external monitors simultaneously when operating directly in Bootcamp. Now, I can only drive 2 of the 3 simultaneously though all three are recognized under Graphic Properties. I simply cannot find any option or profile under Graphics Properties or Options or Personalization to run all three screens.
My hardware hasn't changed and this worked prior to the updates. I have no issue on the Mac OSX can run all three. I also have no issue doing it in Windows under Parallels Desktop 10. It is just when I boot directly into Bootcamp that this happens. What am I missing?
Thanks,
G.

Great point, Loner T. It was late when I was working and I thought about this afterwards also.
The issue was that in Windows=>Control Panel=>Display, under "Change Display Settings", the three screens showed but "Extend Display" was not selected for one of the screens. It was simply off. I can't believe I danced around this w/o picking it up sooner. In fact, it has happened in the past that for some reason a display loses this setting.
As an aside, thanks again for all of your help and terrific input to upgrade both the Mac and Windows operating systems. As I was going from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 8.1 Pro, one thing I did come across that made life much easier was to upgrade first to Windows 8 so I could keep my apps. The jump from 7 to 8.1 would otherwise migrate my personal files, but not programs and require a lot of time to reinstall all. This was completely avoided by going to Windows 8 first.
Thanks, again, and very much appreciate the work that you do here.
Best,
G.

Why does my ipad mini retina longer display youtube videos in 1080p?

A few weeks back i brought my ipad and was able to watch my youtube videos in 1080p. I had to have my ipad replaced for an unrelated reason. After i had it replaced i can no longer watch my youtube videos in 1080p. The highest res is 720p. Any ideas as to what can be causing this.

Evidently at that time it was offered. You would have to ask YouTube why they changed it.

Ipad mini no longer able to be used - ios7 glitch?

Hi all,
My iPad Mini has now effectively become useless.
First I was confronted by pop up messages asking me to pop in a password for imessage, facetime and icloud. I have recently changed my AppleID due to a primary email change. Both my iphone and the ipad show my new appleID as the correct new email address and ID. Although my content is all there and itunes continues to work normally on the macbook and iphone, I cannot use it on the iPad. After turning the ipad on and off twice, re-setting the network connections (as suggested on a discussion thread) I was still confronted with the same problem. Now the ipad appears to be totally stuffed as the contacts and the camera just opened on half of the screen at the same time.
This is frustrating to say the least as I was using the ipad normally this morning.
IOS 7 has not been the easiest process. I'm a long time Apple user and regularly defend Apple against the haters, however this kind of thing is trying my patience.
Please help if you can. Is this IOS7 related? and if so, when is a fix expected?
Thanks.

Hi,
I tried all the options you suggested above.
The 'Sign in to FaceTime' pop up appears asking for a password to my old AppleID, even though on the ipad itslef it is stored as the new AppleID.
Even when I humour the system by keying in the correct password and hitting OK, it simply dispapears and re-appears withe the same pop up box within a second or so. I barely have time to try and hit any other operation between the pop up boxes.
So, as I said I am unable to use the ipad.
Should I restore again, but select 'start as new ipad' once it is completed? Although I will have to re-ad all my apps, I do have them stored and I don;t have much additional content on them.
Thanks.

Why is the iPad 3 no longer sold?

I bought an iPad 3 in March and am very upset to see it discontinued already. Does this mean it is obsolete from now? What makes the iPad 4 so much better? Will anyone of you switch to the iPad 4?

It is still sold at apple stores by the name of "refurbished iPad" for less than its original price; also it's still sold by many other retailers as the "New iPad" at its full original price.
It doesn't mean it's obsolete now, as long as you find a proper use for it. It only means certain functions may not be available for its outphased hardware in the future.
What makes the 4 better is double processor speed, improved WiFi reception, improved front camera, and (presumably) faster charging via the new, 10-pin connector.
Those who are eligible for a return or free upgrade will sure switch to the 4, while for the rest it's highly unlikely.

Why does my iPad 2 no longer work on Apple TV? My iPhone 5 works fine.

This new iOS 6.1 is a disaster my iPad is no longer able to make a correct connection to the wifi. I can only consider abandoning apple altogether!

My iPad2 connects to the 3G but does not connect to the wifi. It sees my wifi router but it does not connect to it. The problem all started with iOS upgrade to 6.1. Wifi is THE most important component of an iPad getting it wrong is UNFORGIVABLE. If this does not get fixed very soon, Apple can kiss my loyalty bye bye.

The problem has appeared with iOS 6.1 update. I have tried rebooting the iPad, forgetting the wifi network etc... I have numerous devices connected to the router through wired LAN and wifi. All of them were working properly.
The iPad appeared to have problems connecting to the DHCP server and was showing an Unusual IP address starting with 169 rather than the normal range of 192.168.0.xxx served by my router. In the end rebooting the router appeared to have fixed the problem for now, however I will wait to see when the lease expires...
One could establish that the problem is with the router, however the problem coincided with the upgrade to iOS6.1 and no other devices had any problem.

No longer able to access data on external hard drive via smb or cifs

Hi there,
I connected my external hard drive (Maxtor One-TouchII-01) via USB to my router (It's a German Fritz!Box).
Before the update to Mavericks I established the conncetion using the command "smb://...". The HD is formatted as FAT32, because I need to connect to the HD from my workplace, where there are only Windows PCs.
After updating to Mavericks I can't read the data stored on the external HD any more. I still can connect to the HD with the same smb-command line, however, read-access to the folders on the HD is denied, because I don't have sufficient rights to view the content. So far I haven't been able to change this. The folder "properties" are set to "you have restricted access" (I don't know the exact words of the message in English as I translated it from German).
The strange thing is, my synch-tool can sitll read and write data on the external HD as soon as I have established the connection.
I already tried to connect to the HD using the root user, but it didn't work either. There still is this small red "no entry" sign on the folder icon.
Trying to connect via the protocol "cifs" causes the same problem.
Another thing I don't understand is that since the update I can't use the former name of my HD with the smb-command which was "smb://fritz!nas". Now it only works with "smb://fritz.box". Maybe this has something do with the problem?
I'd appreciate any kind of help, because after searching the internet for months I still haven't found a solution.
Thank you very much

Excellent, well done. I have to say that talktalk were useless, they repeatedly sent me instructions for setting up an emil account and did not seem able to understand that it was the login that would not work. Thank you.

Why would one of my MacBook Airs be able to Screen Share from work with the iMac at home while the other MBA not...?

I have 2 13-inch MacBook Airs. Also an iMac.
I could ScreenShare from both laptops at work with the iMac at home.
Suddenly I can only do so from one MBA, which sees the iMac, no problem.
But the other MBA cannot sse it any longer.
The MBAs can see each other.
All running the same OS and Apps.
Only difference is...
All have Multiple Apple IDs. ( 2 )
But one MBA was recently set to use the 2nd Apple ID as the main Apple ID
while the other MBA still uses the 1st, as does the iMac.
What is happening...?

That's the reason.
Unless you're using VNC or Apple Remote Desktop (which I assume you are not) both the MacBook Air and the the iMac need to be using the same iCloud account.
System Preferences>iCloud and make sure Back to My Mac is checked.
