I can stream the MLS pass and watch it on my ipad. When I connect the ipad to my tv using the apple adapter and an HDMI cable the streaming doesn't work. I get message about the connect display not allowed to display content. What is wrong?

Hello gogreen2285,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. 


We understand that you’re unable to stream content from your iPad when connected to your television via HDMI cable. We are happy to help.


These steps may help. Please try the steps here: Connect iPad to a display with a cable - Apple Support

"Connect your iPad if it has a USB-C or Thunderbolt / USB 4 connector

On a model with a USB-C or a Thunderbolt / USB 4 connector, you may be able to connect iPad to a USB or Thunderbolt 3 port on the display.

If the charging cable that came with your iPad isn’t compatible with the port on your display, TV, or projector, do the following:

  1. Plug a USB-C Display AV Adapter or USB-C VGA Multi-port Adapter into the charging port on iPad.
  2. Connect an HDMI or VGA cable to the adapter.
  3. Connect the other end of the HDMI or VGA cable to the display, TV, or projector.
  4. If necessary, switch to the correct video source on the display, TV, or projector. If you need help, use the display’s manual.
  5. If the display doesn’t turn on when you connect it to iPad, unplug it from iPad, then plug it back in. If that doesn’t work, unplug the display from its power source, then plug it in again.

See the Apple Support article Charge and connect with the USB-C port on iPad Pro."


Let us know if you have further questions.


Take care.
