Q: Hdmi adapter not working after upgrade to iOS8

Wait a minute. You're blaming Apple because you want to use a cheaper cable/adapter and expect Apple to make sure that it works? It's up to the manufacturers of those cheapies to conform to Apple's requirements, not Apple.  From what I'm reading, Apple's adapter/cable works just fine with 8.1. That's all Apple needs to do. You love Apple, but apparently not enough to buy their products. I've purchased some third party cables and chargers, etc., too, but if they quit working because of an upgrade or change by Apple, I certainly can't blame Apple.  I've also found that all my Apple cables, etc. continue to work and work and work and work.....

yes but when u buy a tv or free view box u can be sure all hdmi cables will work fine even if u have a  do update on your unit ,Apple are a greedy company there just won't to be sure you buy there exspensive cables and and teach u a lesson for not buying there xspensive products .i glad people on here are having a moan as I'm in the same boat as many others who fill ripped off by there update which by the way is another way too force people with older products of there's too upgrade top the bender phones lol no way for me apple gone down hill since Steve died ,my iPad 3 runs like a slug now .

I think the point is that everything worked ok until Apple brought out the new OS and what people are upset about is that they think it's deliberate. Anyway all I want to know is a definate fix, so that apart are you saying that you can mirror your iPad on the TV using the new OS and an original Apple cable? Would appreciate it if you could let me know. To be fair there seems to be some confusion. Thank you.

There are low grade HDMI cables all sorts of accessories, too. You get what you pay for. I still say it's not Apple's job to keep other manufacturers' products functioning, especially cheap versions that offer no protection on their end.

YEs,i do blame apple and hate,hate hate the new ios! Hdmi cable worked perfectly before the update! And on top of that i have other problems with both my ipad 4 and ipad 2. they work like two slugs( the slower and a little fatser slug) ..have problems with skype,some other apps and battery life on ipad 2. And i was so happy with both of them before the update,which i think its not fair,at list we should've been warned that new update MAY not work as well with older models

The arrogant attitude of Apple is the problem. I didn't buy the cheapest cable and it was working perfectly well before the upgrade. i doubt that the Apple cable/adapter warrants 4 times the price of a quality product from another company.

Was this a deliberate ploy on the part of Apple to exploit their existing customers and force them into buying an vastly overpriced product???????

What ever happened to "customer care" and service? I think we're all going to have to bite the bullet and pay the price of being an Apple customer because they're obviously not going to do anything to provide customer satisfaction!!!!!!!!!!!

my pad cost me £400 over the cable worked fine until there crap update the hdmi isn't the only issue here ,my pad crashes all the time now book marks come up all blank plus there update dont resolve any of my issues there only aimed at the bender phone 6 ,as I said the cable all should work why do u have too pay £40 plus for one of there's if your been following this thread there are people with apples cables that still don't work they rush out software doe t work right don't they test it ? Some people phone have major issues with the not being able to receive call ? I've done many updates on my htc one phone never had these issues on android I've given up with Apple now as there no where near as good as they used to be single Steve jobbs has died he would have never not  Put fully tested soft ware on the market or a phone that bends maybe it's supposed too I may be wrong something to do with screen reflection lol ,android is a better os now ,I bought Apple  to begin  with for ease of use and reliabity which now they don't have ,there's so much choice why risk spending money on stuff that won't connect plays up and bends all the other brands now in my opinion are surpassed Apple this is my last apple product .i phoned them they just put phoned down phoned again it just rang and rang so there you go they have a had so many complaints they scared to dill with it ,or reply on here too answer people's worries .i don't hardly use my pad now as its crap since there update ,I if they think coz my a old pad that works they can pump bad software on it so I will buy another upto date model ,I be buy a samung or Sony  next had  it with these people it's winded me up so much tyring to ring googling around too sort issues tring updates for not just the hdmi issues but the other  ones I've stated .

ccompany's like Sony samung don't worrie about cables being plugged into there products sorry but your find most people will agree with me I think you are a apple lolx

I worked out the problem. It used to output at 1080p 30fps. It now outputs at 1080p 29.97 fps.

Not sure why, but I know when I changed to the 29.97 setting in Premiere Pro, it worked.

Chrisfrommona vale, is this a setting I can change on my iPad?

No I don't think so. I changed the setting on my computer end. I doubt you can do that without going through an intermediary (in my case a Blackmagic capture card)

Jolieteddie, you do have a point, Apple can't be expected to maintain compatibility with every piece of 3rd party hardware out there. However, on the face of it this does appear like a deliberate attempt to lock people into proprietary, overpriced Apple products.

I believe this is a short-sighted and counter productive move, as people will vote with their feet - Apple should be opening up their platforms to encourage wider adoption, not trying to squeeze every last drop from its customers.

What next - a Mac OS update that only supports Apple external disk drives?? - it's a slippery slope my friend.

Hi there.

I cannot agree. I have a genuine Apple HDMI adapter for my iPad 3. And it stopped working after upgrade to iOS 8.1. I can hear sound, but see black screen, like many users here... So, it seem to be definitely an Apple issue with the iOS 8 software.

Cheers,

Ivan

Today I made a 100 miles round trip to buy an adapter from the Apple Store. It was very temperamental to start with but now seems to be working.

it's 30 pin Digital AV Adapter- MD098ZM/A. But also had to buy a HDMI to HDMI cable. Available from Amazon........much cheaper.

Good Luck!!!
