Reviews for Apple 30-pin to VGA Adapter

Absolutely furious. Read the product description in the store (plays movies it says). Plugged into my iPad to watch a rented iTunes movies only to be presented with "this can't play protected content".

Be warned this will only play movies you have created yourself.

I bought one of these cables for my iPad 3 for use in my lessons at school. It just does not work with my iPad! It works fine with my iPhone, and my colleagues ipad2 but not my ipad3.
Apple have had my iPad back and returned it saying there is nothing wrong yet the lead does not work with my ipad3 and therefore is a real let down and means I cannot use this wonderful piece of kit for teaching with.

It does not allow you to watch iTunes movies that you have paid for on a projector. How many Achilles heels is it possible to have??? This gives the iPad yet another one.

Brought this as I wanted to use my iPad as a media centre and connect it to my tv but then found out that you can't use it for movies or music videos really not impressed but thankfully took it back to the retailer I got it from who happily refunded my money, not a good advert for a apple product

I am very confused about the reviews above.

I was dubious about buying the cable as a result of previous reviews, so borrowed a friend's to try it out. I was amazed. It does play all movies and tv shows that you purchased from iTunes including iPhoto and Keynote. I was wondering if people have changed the settings to NTSC in Video settings? If not, try that.

I will be buying this product with confidence now...!

This cable does what it is meant to, except it falls out with the slightest movement of the iPad or the cable. I have gone into Apple stores and the geniuses tell me this cable was made for iPad 1, so is not quite the right shape to fit flush with the iPad 2 (and I assume the 3 as well). Seems a simple fix..but as it is, it does not lock into the socket, thus falling out. It is a real shame as it makes it hard to use for presentations.

If it stays in, it works very well! Come on Apple, fix the cable so we can all use it as intended.

I bought this connector for my I pad which by the way I love, only to find it didn't connect to an up to date Samsung T.V. Both TV and connector have a female connection. The information supplied on the apple website makes it sound very easy to do. Buy the connector and plug it in and you can get started. I'm left with problem of how to sort out the connections. Very disappointing information Apple.

I bought this adapter to show a keynote presentation on a sony digital projector. The adapter partially worked in that it got the iPad2 screen onto the projector but the keynote presentation was shifted way off to the right of the projected area thus cropping 20% off from, the left hand side. I had to attach my laptop in the end which worked perfectly through the same projector.

I have also had no luck with the apple iPad hdmi adapter which repeatedly goes black or green after every 10 minutes or so of movie playback.

My impression is that apple is rushing these products to market before they are ready.

One star is too much! Absolutely furious and bitterly disappointed that I can't watch a movie that I purchased through iTunes via my own projector! What's the point otherwise!?? Might as well download rip-off movies as I'm sure they will play fine! My own fault for paying for a movie! Never thought I'd say this but APPLE YOU S|_|CK!

I bought this to use just as I've been using my laptop all these years, then only to find that it only works on a select number of apps and it doesn't even emulate the ipad screen!, Even when it does work it takes far too long to connect and slows the entire system down. Apple sales reps should explain this during purchase, I bought mine at the apple store directly!
