iPad to VGA connector will not show movies

When I connect my new iPad to my projector to show movies that bought from iTunes I keep getting an error that the device can't show protected movies. I am using the VGA adaptor. How do I fix this?

Hi, Ricker991.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


To view HD video on an external display, the display must have a digital connection (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and also support HDCP. If the projector is HDCP compliant, then the issue would be related to the connect between the Mac and the projector. I would recommend trying with one of the approved digital connectors. The best option would be to purchase an Apple 30-pin or Lighting Digital AV Adapter.
