Issues connecting IPad Pro (Gen 5) to external screen
Hello,
I am having trouble connecting my Ipad Pro to an external monitor.
I have connected the IPad to a USB C to HDMI adaptor that is connected to an HDMI cable to my external monitors.
- I have tried to connect it with multiple monitors and none of them can detect the IPad.
- I have tried to unplug the power of the monitors and replug them (as the trouble shooting guide on Apples page says) but that doesn't work.
- I have tried to use the HDMI wires along with the USB C adaptor with other devices and the monitors are able to pick up those devices, so not an issue with the cables, adaptors or monitors
- I have tried restarting the ipad and that doesnt work either
- I have tried plugging the HDMI into different ports on the monitors and that doesnt work either
I noticed on various videos online, under Settings -> display/brightness there should be an option at the bottom for 'other connected devices'. this option does not appear in my IPad setting when I connect it to the monitors.
I do notice that the Ipad detects it is connected to something as the sound rocker changes to an external display.
Help would be appreciated, one of the main reasons I bought the Ipad was so that i could plug it into my external monitors and TVs.
(I have read through these pages 1 and 2 and 3 and none of the solutions from here work)
thank you,
