Connect iPad to my TV

it's called composite and it will work but it will not mirror your screen only outpit when you're in a supported app like youtube or video app

"ok but if im playing a game, or i have my own app i wrote...will it work ? its not a video, just something that interacts with a server"

Nope, sorry. Composite / component cables cannot be used for anything BUT video playback.

From your own apps, you can only use the HDMI or VGA cables.

You should consider getting a TV set (or monitor) with a VGA / HDMI input as VGA / HDMI -> composite converters are 1, expensive 2, still deliver horrible quality.

1. Why don't you purchase it from Apple? I'd be wary with eBay sellers - and, after all, Apple posts their stuff everywhere, even if you live in a country without a localized Apple store webpage or local (physical) Apple stores.

2. when it comes to adapters / cables like these, NEVER purchase ANYTHING non-Apple-manufactured! Most of the cheap(er) knock-offs don't work! That is, don't try to save on going for a cheaper alternative - it most likely won't work.

Then you need this cable:

Again, don't expect screen mirroring or custom output from games like Real Racing 2. ONLY video playback is possible via the composite cable.

Only videos and photos can be displayed on an external display if you use the Composite / Component cables, sorry. Third-party apps can't display e.g. Web pages or notes.

Consider getting a better TV and a VGA or HDMI adapter - or, instead of an adapter, an AppleTV (which isn't too expensive either) and using AirPlay, which is already built into the iPad 2 and 3. (The latter, however, is slower and lower-resolution than the cabled approach, which can even output 1080p video.)

You can, start by getting a TV from the 21st century 😉
