how and what cables are required to connect the Ipad2 to a PS3?
I want to vies the Ipad on an hdtv, the PS3 is equipped with USB connections, the TV is not.
Initial connection, the PS3 did not seem to recognize the I pad.
Am I barking up the wrong tree?
iPad 2, iOS 4.3.2
Yes...the PS3 is not a video connection hub. USB is not a video path, at least in your example.
Get the proper video cable from Apple and connect directly to your TV.
See the Apple Store for cable choices. You most likely want the Apple Digital AV Adapter.

Thanks for your input, I have the connector you mentioned, it is abour three inches long and offers no obvious way to connect it to the tv directly. I am missing something here. It plugs into the HDMI connector but terminates with two female connectors, one an HDMI the other looks like USB but it isn't.
You connect the Apple Digital AV Adaptor to your TV with an HDMI cable. The Apple Digital AV Adaptor includes a USB dock connector port for connecting the iPad to a power source when connected to your TV along with an HDMI connection for connecting an HDMI cable to an HDMI port on your TV.
That is the missing link Allan. The 076 in James 076 designates age. I really appreciate your help to someone struggling to learn something new. I will invest in a new html cable. Thank you.
