HDMI adapter does connect

Hi Union75,

​Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. It's always great to be able to connect your iPad to your TV. We'll be happy to see how we can help out.

As a start, have you double-checked to see if you might need to switch video sources on your TV? That could explain the "no signal" message.

"If an app doesn't display video or play audio

The app might not be compatible with your adapter. Check compatibility on the app's info page in the App Store or contact the developer.

If an alert says that an HDCP-compatible device is required

Your content might not be compatible with your adapter. Movies, TV shows, and certain streaming video apps require High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). If you try to play these movies, shows, and streaming videos using a non-HDCP digital connection—like the Apple VGA Adapter—an alert will ask for an HDCP-compatible device.

If you need help with other issues

1. Disconnect and reconnect your adapter from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch and from your TV, monitor, or projector.
2. Make sure that your VGA or HDMI cable works, since the issue could be with the cable.
3. Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters. Accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signals to different video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) aren't compatible.
4. Make sure that you have the latest version of iOS."

Hopefully that helps you! Let us know.

Have a good day.

Hi Union75,

Thanks for replying.

There are a few tests you can try that might help to narrow the issue down.

Do you have another cable you can try? How about a different port on your TV? Knowing if the same issue occurs after testing those would help.

If you have another iPhone or iPad in your house that's compatible with that adapter, give it a try as well. Does that make a difference?

Cheers.
