My IPad is not transmitting to my projector. I bought the required VGA cable. Did my software update iOS 8.3 on my IPad affect my signal to the projector?

My iPad is not transmitting my signal to the projector. I bought the required VGA cord. It still doesn't work! Did the update on my IPad affect the signal? How can I fix it!

What brand of vga cable did you get?


Did it work before? Does it work with a different TV/projector? Did it work with ios 7.x? Are there other A/V input ports? Try all others. Check settings.


Anyway, with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables. You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware. There is a little chip in the a/v cable. go to the apple store. Buy a new cable. Verify the cable works in the store.


Here is one reason I heard for the switch in cable requirements: fire! See a picture in this discussion:
