Reviews for Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter

Just the job works perfectly. You will need an HDMI cable to act as your extension cable. Note the extra connection that will let you charge the iPad as you use it to play through your TV etc. Note also that when you connect to your iPad it locks to it, (to stop accidental disconnection) when you want to detach, use the little release button at the side not really visible.Works fine with Youtube, BBC player ITV player, iTunes movies and most useful in my case Netflix movies streamed from the internet. Used with new iPad no problems at all.

This dongle is really fantastic.
I used it with my iPhone 4S and my iPad2, it does everything I need.
I think it is a new version since it only works with iOS 5.1 and it comes in a new package.
it perfectly mirrors my devices and I can watch movies on the TV (with HD content the quality is great).
For games is the must-have accessory. I'm looking forward for receiveing my New iPad, I'll get rid of my gaming consolle and use the new iPad when I want to play games on the TV.
Totally worth the 39 bucks.

I was skeptical after reading negative reviews on this product using IOS 6, but knew there had to be a simple answer. You MUST restart an iPad on IOS6 before this adapter will work. After a restart, it works flawlessly, putting the home screen and everything else I tried up on the plasma TV, and porting sound to the TV's speakers. Videos fill the screen and look great.
It is not Apple's style to ignore a problem such as this, and they didn't. It took about a minute to figure it out and restart my iPad 2. Shame on you people who just plugged it it and had a tantrum because it didn't work instantly, just returned it and wrote a disgruntled review.
Must have never plugged in a different PC keyboard and had to restart for the computer to recognize it. Apple products spoil us with world-class ease of use!
Thanks for a great product. My only suggestion is to spell it out on the instructions that the restart needs to happen. Less returns and bad reviews, more happy customers.

I puchased a New iPad (iPad 3rd gen.) the week it was released. I decided a week later I needed the camera kit, digital AV adapter, and and extra charger. The digital AV adapter was posting an "not supported" message and after I dismissed the message it didn't work ( as the support page suggests). I was able to contact support after a 40min on and off call I asked if there might be a newer version ( the Apple support team member refered to my digital AV adapter as a 1st gen. model ). I went to an Apple store and they exchanged it no questions asked. Anyone in the market for this adapter should buy the one in the box not the one in the hanging bag. First its compatible with most devices, second the size of the 30 pin adapter is smaller than the previous which is good if like me you have your iPad in a Otterbox type case. Once you have the right one its smooth sailing. So get the right one.

Doesn't work on my iPad 3 with iOS6 - Fix needed.

Paid 18 bucks for a HD movie from iTunes using an iPad and was hoping to watch it on a TV. Instead iPad displayed error. "Cannot Play Movie. The connected display is not authorized to play protected movie."

What gives? I bought the movie and the adapter from Apple.

- Disappointed Apple customer.

When I had iOS5, it work perfectly; after I installed iOS 6, I can not use it anymore on my New iPad 3. The screen on my TV now plays everything with a bright pink color and is very annoying to watch something or even mirror my iPad screen on the TV. And I know is not the adapter is the iOS 6 because it works with my iPhone 4, to watch Netflix or a movie that I have on my phone. As a consumer I feel really very sad, for all the mistakes Apple has made in the past months. Hoping they can fix it soon.

Sincerely,
Another disappointed customer.

As a teacher I depend on my iPod Touch, iPad, and now my iPhone to carry my videos to classes, meetings, and workshops. The upgrade apparently resulted in the loss of the ability to show through TVs or projectors (my principle use). I am angry and rushing to find my DVD players and all of my DVD source material to return to an earlier age. THANKS FOR THE SCREW-UP APPLE

Since iOS6 upgrade all kinds of video playing apps lack support for 16:9 fullscreen through this adapter. Apple, you NEED to fix this in the next iOS update

This little device works wonders with your new iPad! It will mirror just about anything you want your iPad to mirror. One of my apps even has 3-D TV viewing (which is really cool!). Many people CLAIM that this device doesn't work with iPhoto, but I am here to tell you that IT DOES! Those "foolish" people just didn't turn on the switch in the "in app" settings for iPhoto that allows TV mirroring.
Secondly, this device is perfect for high profile presenters. With keynote and this adapter, presentations are fun and easy to do in any class setting (whether you are a "lazy" PowerPoint History teacher who makes back to back notes or a high profile top notch Engineering Presenter). Also I recommend the keynote remote app alongside keynote if your also going to get this adapter. If you are thinking of getting this product, then I say GET IT!
