Hi 300213,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're using an Apple Digital AV Adapter to display video from your iPad on a TV using an HDMI connection.
Although an Apple TV allows you to use the AirPlay feature of iOS, you should also be able to use the adapter to play video.
I recommend starting with these tips to troubleshoot the connection between your iPad and TV:
iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
- Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
- Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
- Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
- Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
- Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
Best Regards,
Jeremy
EEver since the iso8 upgrade I've had problems.
i Don't have any apple av adapters, didn't need them before upgrade.
videos do not work from ipad to tv thru hdmi, since upgrade
its the upgrade that has caused these problems & looking at comments I'm not the only one to comment on this particular issue
I've solved this problem twice now with my iPad mini. Right in the middle of streaming a Netflix movie to my HDMI-connected TV from the iPad, I suddenly lose the signal. Rebooting, restarting didn't solve it. To solve it (twice now), I:
1. Back up the iPad to my desktop computer.
2. Reset the iPad to factory settings.
3. Restore my backed up files from computer to the iPad.
For some reason, IOS loses the ability to communicate to either HDMI or VGA devices. This solves the problem, although it takes a good part of the morning. So it helps if you have other work to do while the process takes place.
I Have the same problem with this cable
should i buy a new cable ? Or do i need to buy a chromecast adapter ?
why does apple does not take action on this problem ?
