HDMI adapter does not work on IPad 2. Not unique to this cable or to my ipad

My 5.0.1 Ipad comes up with the same incompatability message on rebooting. Nothing at all happens if the ipad is already on when I plug the HDMI lead in. I have a Toshiba Regza approx 4 years old. The TV works perfectly well via HDMI with my windows lap top. I've reported to Toshiba and they are not aware of any issues but also said that it was possible that the tv is not compatible. Guess I need to try on another TV.

I have the same problem with my iPad -> HDMI -> TV.

It used to work but after I upgrade to iOS 5.0.1, it came up wit the same "bubble" on the

screen that said "this accessory is not cmpatible ..."

We also have an iPad -> Component TV -> TV cable and

(knock on wood ), that still works.

Any idea what is going on?

I'm having same problem. I wonder if changing back to older OS will fix the problem? If I can find a solution I guess this will not buy the new MLB app. I'm not going buy apple tv.

Correction to above:

If I CAN NOT find a solution ......

Hi

I have this cable as seen in this link.

But does anyone know how to setup the sound on a MacBook, so that I can send the signals straight to my HDTV? The picture works fine.

This is the iPad forum. You should repost your question in the MacBook forum.

Ok, thanks for the advice. I will. 🙂

My adapter works fine on my kids iPads but not on my, and I can't find any difference in between them, maybe one app is creating this problem?

I even reset it but it still not working.

Did anyone have luck solving this " not compatible" problem?

What kind of application do you try to send the HDMI signals from, and are you sending them to a HD TV?

I have this same problem as well. Am mightily dissapointed with the mighty Apple on this issue. Bought the HDMI adapter at a ridiculous price of SGD59 and it was working fine for a month, until one day a message pop up that iPad does not support this (HDMI adapter) device. What is going on? Apple where are your support and answers, I don't see it in this forum or any other forums. All the rebooting suggestions that are suggested by some good people here do not work. HDMI cable and tv is not at fault, I tested it with my non-apple computer and it mirrors my computer to the tv perfectly.

Please someone from Apple solve this problem, I am getting really annoyed paying a premium price for a device that do not work!

No solution here, but more problems.

I bought this apple-branded, quite expensive AV adaptor.

When I connect my iPad 2 (4.3.3) I get the error message; "This accessory is not supported by iPad"

... and that's it. no flickering or flashing, no mirror, no video. Just a blank screen.

Tried with 3 different screens (TV and 2 computer monitors) and 2 different cables.

But when I connect my iPhone 4, with the AV adaptor, works fine.

so it's not the adaptor, or the monitors, or the cable.

it's the iPad.

Shoulda bought the cheapo knock off.

I have an iPad 2 which works with the hdmi to tv. But today it stops having sound, only picture. I haven't use it since upgrading to ios6. Today is the first time using it. Is it possible that my adapter doesn't work with ios6?

That might be possible. Does the HDMI cable work with sound if you connect with another device instead of the iPad 2?

Yes the cable works with my Xbox. Also my iPhone 4S used to work too but now it and the ipad both mo longer working. And my iPhone 4 have no sound AND picture through the adapter. They all used to work fine.

My ipad2 ISO 5.0.1, will not work either. It worked when we first got the iPad last year. Since I upgraded the os it no longer works. I turned the IPad off plugged everything up and then turned it back on. It came up and then had a bubble on the screen that said "this accessory is not compatible with iPad" with an ok button. Did they take support for the adapter out of IOS 5.0.1?

That's strange. Have you updated your TV's firmware in the past then? Do you remember or can you find out who has manufactured the HDMI cable. 😕
