Ipad

Sometimes, with the Apple digital HDMI adapters, sometimes you have to disconnected/reconnects the adapter to get the iPad to recognise the adapter and connection.

Sometimes, you have to do a hard reset of your iPad by holding down both the Home and sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until your iPad goes to black and restarts with Apple logo, then release the buttons to get the adapter to be recognised.

Good Luck!

What video app/s are you using the video out with?

When you first plug eveything in on your iPad (with the TV set for the correct input), does the TV mirror the iPad's Home screen?

Do you see the iPad's home screen on the TV?

Is there anyway to find out from the person who gave this adapter to you if this this is a genuine Apple digital HDMI AV adapter?

What iPad do you own?

Is it one with a 30 pin wide dock connection or the newer, smaller, thinner lightning connection?

Okay,

That means the adapter is working, but it's not working with certain apps.

Not sure about the ShowTime app, but video output is supposed to work with the Netflix and YouTube apps.

Disconnect the adapter from the iPad.

Quit both YouTube and Netflix from the iOS App Switcher.

Then relaunch the Netflix app and wait for it to get to the main library screen.

Then, try plugging in the adapter to the iPad, if the Netflix library screen appears on the TV, then try starting a video/movie to watch and see what happens.

Hi. Please identify the model of HDMI adapter. Also, which end reports the error. Is it the iPad or the TV? What version iOS are you using on the iPad?

What iPad model?

Is this adapter an Apple adapter purchased from Apple?

Is anything coming up on the TV screen, at all?

Also, how much battery power is left on your iPad Mini 2?
