iPad air to HDMI TV NO SIGNAL problem.

I have just bought an iPad air. When I connect the iPad to my TV using a lightning to Digital AV adapter and HDMI lead I'm getting NO Signal on the TV (LG).

I have previously been connecting my Mac book Pro to the TV to watch TV programmes (using thunderbolt to HDMI adapter and HDMI lead) with no problems.

I know the AV dadpter works as it can charge the Ipad from the lightning port.

Any ideas why the TV won;t pick up the signla from the Ipad.

Many thanks

🙂

I connect my iPad Air to my TV using the Lightning to Digital AV Adapter and it works fine. The problem you're experiencing has to lie in one of a few locations.

1. Bad HDMI cable or the connectors on the cable. Check with a different cable.

2. Bad adapter. Just because the lightning port on the adapter allows charging your iPad doesn't mean the HDMI port is good.

3. Software problem on the iPad. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

4. Hardware problem on the iPad.

5. Wrong HDMI input selected on the TV. But you've already checked this one.

If the easy choices above do not help I would have an Apple technician examine your iPad and the Digitial AV adapter. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
