I have the same problem with my IPad Air, after I downloaded the os upgrade/revision the adapter stopped working. Apple monitors these sites to collect data on problems with their products so Apple can't be unaware of this often cited issue.

My older IPad 3 still operates its AV/HDMI 30 pin adapter, so the problem is definitely software related, strike that, the problem is software generated!

Since my IPad doesn't recognize the adapter I am being pushed to use the Apple TV mirroring feature of my Ipad, a feature that requires that I buy an Apple TV or Apple TV receiver for my present tv.


Apple knows all about this adapter problem but will not provide the cure. Apple wants to sell us more 'stuff'.

Have the same problem with an iPhone 6 Plus after updating to iOS 12.2.5 (15D60).


Sometimes I see a picture on my TV for a second then it’s gone, but the sound is fine.


On my old iPhone 4S with iOS 9.3.5 and HDMI composite adapter cable it’s working flawless every time. Same TV btw...



Apple really needs to fix this fast or this will be my last iPhone!

Hey nostromo72,

I understand that after updating to iOS 10, you are no longer able to use the Lightning Digital AV Adapter to get video via HDMI. Let's go over some general troubleshooting to get it sorted out.

Start with taking a look at the article below. It will have different steps so that you can get audio and video back to your TV.
