So here is my update from Apple-
We have discovered that it is the firmware and hardware version on your vga adapter that is not working, we could re-create it and break a perfectly working adapter on an ipad and an iphone. We found another vga dongle, same part number (all Apple by the way) but with different software versions. All this information has been passed on to their higher engineers, so we are hoping a fix is coming soon. They emailed me about an hour ago and said they have an update but backlogged and will get with me soon.
What worked- Apple vga adapter, Model A1368, Hardware 1.0.0, Firmware 1.0.0
What did not! -Apple vga adapter, Model A1368, hardware 0.0.2, Firmware 0.0.9
So why not buy all new adapters you ask.....we are a school district, we are poor 🙂 We just need them to fix what they broke before the update.
