I have an iPad 2 with 4.3 and today I bought a Digital AV Adapter from the store. When I connect it to my iPad, it says that this accessory isn't supported and true, nothing displays on my TV. I thought it was supposed to work with an iPad 2 - what's up? Do I need to update it to iOS5?
Upgrade your iOS to 5.1.1
I have an ipad 2 with ios 5.1.1. When i connected a newly purchased digital av adapter (MD098ZM/A) with HDMI cable hooked up to my samsung HDTV, i get the same Message on my ipad. That this accessory is not supported. What do i need to do?
Resolved the issue by proper handshaking between the 2 devices ( ipad and HDTV in this case). "accessory not supported" can be just dismissed by pressing "dismiss". For the TV to recognize the HDMI connection i had to refresh a couple times causing my TV to search for a new device connected to it. Once it goes searching, it found a new device connection and was mirroring my ipad display.
I have an iPad 3 (ok, ok, a New iPad) running iOS 5.1.1. I get the same message (iPad does not recognize this accessory) when the Digital AV Adapter (new version) is plugged in and I turn the iPad on when powered down (not asleep). Note that this is with ONLY the charging cable plugged in, so I have no idea yet about the HDMI functionality. The charging function works.
What gives? Any ideas?
