how do you connect the iPad to a TV to watch movies?
I want to be able to watch tv and movies on the iPad but also be able to play them on my TV as well. I see a lot of things I can't do with this connector. Is there a way to do this with something else?

Answer
Yes.
Keynote also shows a "presenter console" with the next slide, your notes and a timer. Very useful combination for presentations without a laptop. KB PH3489 has all the details.- Answered by Genrich S from Berlin

what is the difference between vga adapter and the av cable

Best Answer
The Apple VGA Adapter is designed to connect your iPad to a monitor, TV or projector using a VGA cable. This is an older type of connection but still common on many projectors sold today. A VGA connection can only carry a video signal. Another limitation of VGA is its lack of support for HDCP - 'High Definition Copy Protection' - which prevents the playback of some movies (for example movies rented or purchased from the iTunes store) on an external display.
The Apple Digital AV Adapter allows you to connect you iPad to a monitor, TV, projector or home theatre system using an HDMI cable. HMDI carries both a video and audio signal, and supports HDCP, making it ideal for playback of rented or purchased movies from the iTunes store. This adapter also includes a 30-pin dock connector to which you can connect a USB charging cable, allowing you to charge your iPad at the same time as using the adapter.- Answered by Chris L

Can I use this to show apps to the children in my class through a multimedia projector?

Answer
The first answer to this question is completely inaccurate. Any iPad that is model iPad 2 or later, as well as iPhone 4S or later, will mirror the display. I have tested and confirmed this with an iPad 2 and iPhone 4S. Any and all apps will mirror to the external display through the Apple 30-pin to VGA adapter with these newer devices - no Apple TV required.

Does your iPad have to be plugged into the adaptor for the remote (keynotes) on your iPhone to work
I cannot figure out if my Bluetooth is not working or if my ipad has to be plugged into the adaptor and the adaptor plugged into a projector for my iPhone to link to my ipad so I can use my iPhone as a remote on keynotes

Does the iBooks app support video output with the VGA adapter? I'd love to use that application as a presentation tool for PDFs.
- Asked by Reid S from Minneapolis

Best Answer
Short answer is No. In my testing I got no VGA output from iBooks.
Only default applications I got output from were Photos (but only in slideshow mode, not when manually browsing) and Videos (again, only when watching, not when browsing).
So other than downloading/buying another application you could try converting your presentation to work with one of those two.- Answered by Steven P from Avalon Beach

Netflix
I have the 1st generation IPad and 4s phone. Which adapter do I need to watch Netflix movies on my TV from my IPad or phone? I have a 1080 HDMI TV

Answer
I just bought the 30-pin to VGA Adapter for my iPad 2. I am able to stream Netflix from my iPad over to my large HD TV using a VGA cable and the 30pin to VGA Adapter. My HD TV has a VGA connection capability so granted yours does as well you will need a) 1 VGA Male to Male cable (Pretty cheap in-store and online such as on Amazon) b) Apple 30-pin to VGA Adapter.
Really hope this helped as it is amazing to see your iPad screen (in your case iPhone as well) on such a large screen!- Answered by Quinton D from Surrey

Can I display iPod touch apps on the Smartboard?

- Sep 24, 2011

Best Answer
Yes you can...as long as you are running the new iOS 5 operating system.
Turn on the SMART Board, unplug the projector cable from your computer, then attach the VGA Adapter to it and plug the adapter into your iPod Touch.
Now you can view, demo, and discuss apps on the SMART Board.
Just remember that you or your students will only be able to control the app with the iPod Touch. You can't use the SMART Board's touch capabilities for that.- Answered by Jonathan W from Troy Mills

Will the Apple 30 pin-to-VGA adapter work for sound (IPAD to BOSE) ?? The cable descr only references video movies & images.
Had classic IPOD. Now have IPAD2 and wish to connect to my BOSE for music. Like the 30-pin to VGA adapter, if it works, over setting in adapter "stand" and subject to mishap.

Answer
The 30 pin-to-VGA cable ONLY carries video. However, the normal headphone jack in the iPad can be used to output sound. Just buy a normal "Male-Male" 3.5mm headphone jack cable, and plug it in to your BOSE.
