I just brought an apple lightening to digital AV adapter but my iPhone doesn’t appear on the tv. The mirroring just goes round and round and nothing happens.
suggestions for a fix please?
I have tried it on both iPhone 12 and iPhone X.
Hello Ultwhale135,
It could be an issue with the adapter itself. To test this further, we'd recommend connecting the iPhone(s) and adapter to another TV to see if the issue persists or not.
Here's how to connect the iPhone to a display: Connect iPhone to a display with a cable - Apple Support
Connect iPhone to a display with a cable
With the appropriate cable or adapter, you can connect your iPhone to a secondary display, like a computer monitor, TV, or projector.
1. Plug a Lightning Digital AV Adapter or Lightning to VGA Adapter into the charging port on the bottom of iPhone.
2. Connect an HDMI or VGA cable to the adapter.
3. Connect the other end of the HDMI or VGA cable to the monitor, TV, or projector.
4. If necessary, switch to the correct video source on the monitor, TV, or projector. If you need help, use the display’s manual.
The adapters have an extra port so you can connect the charging cable and charge your iPhone while connected to a monitor, TV, or projector.
In case that doesn't help out, are you able to simply AirPlay to this TV instead? Learn more about AirPlay here: Use AirPlay to stream video or mirror the screen of your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
Hoping this helps out.
Take care.
