Reviews for Apple 30-pin to VGA Adapter

I know some r upset, but read carefully before buying. This will only mirror screen if u are using newest devices, but if u do, it's great and seamless. It only works with certain applications if u r running older devices.

I tried one out today and it worked just the way I hoped it would--everything on my iPad screen was projected. I tried several different apps and all ran without a problem. Keynote looked great, of course, but so did all of the non-Apple software.

The adapter works fine - I've used it quite often for presentations instead of carying around my Notebook. (five stars for this)

The huge disadvantge of the adapter is, that it does not allow charging of the iPAD while using the VGA adaptor. That means prior to using the iPAD for a presentation you have to ensure that it is fully loaded. (zero stars for this)

I don't understand why Apple has not build in a small USB port or a Dock connector to allow charging like they have done it with the HDMI Adapter....

As a teacher and lecturer who loves my iPad i am so so disappointed with this rubbish cable which is good for nothing. Can not use it to display anything of use except photos and videos and a few junk apps. If it could mirror my writing and drawing apps my iPad could revolutionise my lessons! Such a shame. Also bad business as a lot of educators, teachers, etc would use otherwise.

I have bought the VGA adapter with a single purpose in mind: to deliver Keynote presentations as a guest lecturer. I travel light with my iPad, the projector and VGA cable are supplied for me.
That was the idea. I turns out that the Apple VGA adapter can only be securely attached to a certain kind of VGA cables with the extra long screws. And these are few and far between. So most of the time I end up with the insecurely attached cable that occasionaly detaches during the presentation.
And this fact is CONSTANTLY DISTURBING MY WORKFLOW! Any proffesional will agree that giving presentations is all about concentrating on the subject and not thinking about the equipment. Attention to details, Apple?

Works great. As advertised. I have an iPad2 and was using this to mirror through a projector to a college class. All apps. No problem. Nay sayers really ought to read more about a product before they buy it and claim it doesn't work.

We use a number of VGA adapters on our iPads at an elementary school. We occasionally secure them to the iPad with some duct tape, but otherwise everything works fine with our Promethean Boards.

I have 2 types of TVs at home, a flat screen and a traditional one. The adaptor didn't work on either one. I am returning it.

I have noticed that many people assume that this will mirror on the iPad. This is true...but only for 2nd and 3rd generation iPads. I repeat: THE FIRST GENERATION IPAD IS NOT CAPABLE OF MIRRORING. Only buy this cord for mirroring purposes if you own a 2nd or 3rd generation iPad.
