Updated my iPad 2 with 8.1 ( which failed and eventually had to do a compete factory reset and recover from iCloud) and the third party HDMI cable still doesn't work. I have tried to use one of the Media Servers and although it connects and sees the various folders when I attempt to view any of the file types, photos, music or vidoes it fells me that the file type is not supported? Any ideas? This is very frustrating as I used my iPad to display my photos. I would buy the official cable if I could be sure it works. I am hugely disappointed with Apple, this is the sort of problem I expect with Microsoft, and this is why I went to Apple!

Well it seems I have stirred up a hornet's nest with my original post. Too bad Apple doesn't give a _____ about how they treat their customers. I plan to just keep my and my wife's pads and phones on IOS 7 as long as I can then when Apple finds ways to make them stop working on that OS, we'll go to another system. It's a shame, but I guess they're just too big to care about the thousands (millions?) of customers they are alienating. I can't afford to do that in my work.
