After loading IOS 8.1.3 this still does support genuine HDMI cable when connecting to TV,so still waiting for Apple to Deal,got a £40 cable and still can't use it? when worked fine on all IOS 7 applications
anyone got any ideas
iPad 2, iOS 8.1.2, 8.1.3
It would probably work
Doesnt support it now didn't on 8.1.2,did on IOS 7 with out issue
Did you buy the cable from Apple?
Yes genuine Apple read some post stating same problem,after upgrade to IOS 8,but worked fine before
Then your only resolution is to call Apple.
Ok will try tomorrow,seems strange how all was fine before all latest updates..
IOS-8 is intended to detect non-approved cables and apparently is making a mistake in your case.
This was done because of the several iPhone fires that took place. Off-brand cables caused the fires but the iPhones got blamed.
Hello,
Please provide a link or citation about the "iPhone fires", as I can find no evidence of them. Specifically, if the fires are related to video cables it would be of interest and relative.
Thank you,

Phill_Phan,
The link you sent me was about several iPhones that caught fire from being inside of peoples pockets, not from using a video cable.
By the logic that you say Apple is using to protect people from fire they should make the devices shutdown immediately and permanently so that people don't get burned whey they burst into flames from being in an insulated pocket; as it is obviously a common practice to carry an iPhone in a pocket.
Seriously, if the thermal sensor is not programmed to shut down the device when it overheats, the whoever is programming the IOS must not know what they are doing. Particually, if the iPhones are known to catch fire, burn, and injure people.
Disabling peoples video cables has nothing to do with iPhone fires, and is obviously a programming choice made by Apple as evidenced by the error message "we are turning off your video cable function sucker (or something to that effect)".
In conclusion, it is obvious that the video cables don't work because of Apples greed for money. And, that it has nothing what so ever to do with safety or fire.
Thanks,
