Q: Hdmi adapter not working after upgrade to iOS8

I had this same problem with my iPad 2 and an hdmi adapter that i bought on Amazon and then when i purchased an official Apple adapter Model MD098ZM/A problem was resolved.  I had to spend $40 though which was a bummer.

Monday next week new software update iOS 8.1 May help? Bsydd uk

We must find a solution

This must be a joke. A very annoying bug for me. I hoped 8.1 would fix.

Was it a bug? Or was it a feature?

Now it seems to be clearer.....

I've been waiting for today's update hoping problem would be solved........no such luck!!!!!!!!!!

THe same here,was really looking forward to this update,but it just didnt happen   .. after i updated coudnt open any pages,so had to reboot the system few times,now thinking if its a good idea ti update my daughters ipad 2. Or just leave it as it is...not a happy customer apple!,,

I too couldn't load pages and finally had to reboot router. Going to order the official Apple adapter from Amazon (ridiculously expensive).......hopefully I'll have more success.

I was about to replace my faithful but very tired Blackberry with an iPhone but now having second thoughts.

COuld you please let the community know how the official adapter will work for you... Thank you

What a joke this has become! I am done with Apple!

KittyKat - I bought an official Apple AV adapter from eBay (MD098ZM/A), which works OK on the iPad3 and iOS 8.1.

My original 3rd party adapter from Amazon still doesn't "Accessory not supported"

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! 

100% agree with all your points. The original adapter is sooooo expensive that you want to be really sure before buying it... And anyway,after paying so much for the ipad itself the apple could just let us to get away with generic hdmi adapter,dont you agree???
