IT was working when I was showing dr. Seuss videos on Friday, but now it won't show anything. The old iPad works just fine.
iPad Air, iPad air 2
It may be something to do with the lightening connector. The best bet would be to talk to your supervisor about getting it checked out by an Apple Genius Bar Appointment.
The other iPad does show on the projector so I think it's something that I don't know how to fix on the iPad Air 2. Could I have damaged the space where the adapter plugs in to the iPad ? The iPad shows that the adapter is plugged in but nothing shows. Is there something in settings that I can tap on?
Try doing a hard reset on the iPad. You can also check if your iPad needs to be updated too.
To update go to Settings - General - Software Update
To do a hard reset, i would suggest you do a back up first, either on iCloud or via iTunes.
First try shutting down the device off and on, if that does not help, then you can go ahead and do the hard reset.
Hard Resetting your device.
On your iPad, press and hold both the SLEEP/WAKE button and the HOME button for about ten (10) seconds. After ten seconds you should see the Apple logo showing up, you can then release your fingers from those buttons. Wait for your iPad to turn up completely, then try connecting your projector again to see if it works. I hope it does. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.
The hard reset worked, thank you so much 🙂
Thank you BeéLovedEst! I just wish I had known this before going to Apple thinking I had a defective lightning to VGA adapter. This issue had caused glitches in three PowerPoint classroom sessions (thumb drive for laptop backup saved the day). I ordered a replacement and THAT didn't work, or so I thought. The Hard Reset solved the issue so now I have two working adapters (and out $53.00).
My iPad air 2 will no longer show on my projector, what happened?
