Reviews for Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter

I bought this so I could play games and Video on my TV through my iPhone and iPad. And as I expected it works exactly how I expected it.
I didn't even realise that there are even some apps and games that are optimised for this cable such as Real Racing HD which turns my iPad into the controller while the racing occurs on screen. Absolutely fantastic.
My only gripe is not with the component but with certain apps, such as Sky Go, Sky Sports, Love Film and I'm sure there are others that won't work with the component at all, so it won't even mirror whats is on screen in those apps. It would have been nice to be able to watch Sky on my friends TV with Sky Go but what can you do!

This was a wonderful addition to my Apple collection.
Until I upgraded my iPad (post iPad 2 version) to iOS 6.

Now 'this device is unsupported'.

1 star because you can;t post 0

Should have expected it.

I purchased a camera adapted for my iPod (they call it the classic now) but when the iPod touch came out, it didn;t work either. Built in obsolescence.....love it,

The cable allows you to mirror iPad is play but does not play any movies rented or purchased on iTunes because they are hdcp protected. I have 2 hd tvs, plasma and led, both less than 2 years old, both do not support hdcp. Apple suggest that the solution is to buy a new tv. Very nice :-(

Bought this today with the intention to hook my iPad2 up to my hd tv, unfortunately most of my apps do not display on the tv when all is connected - including love film instant, sky go, 4OD amongst others.

Apple you shouldn't really say..... "Put your slides, films, photos and everything else that fills your iPad or iPhone 4S screen on an even bigger screen — your HDTV. The Apple Digital AV Adapter mirrors exactly what you see on iPad or iPhone 4S so that everyone in the room can enjoy it on your widescreen TV, video projection screen or other HDMI-compatible display.* The Apple Digital AV Adapter also supports video out for iPad, iPhone 4 or iPod touch (4th generation)."

Also when I connected my iphone4 only YouTube displayed properly. Would recommend giving this one a miss!

Bought this 3 days ago from Apple store in Westfield (Stratford). Put simply, it's not fit for purpose. It doesn't work. Audio, but no picture! Have now read other reviews and it looks like an IOS6 issue. How can they have automatic upgrades which are not compatible with products they are selling in store? Nowhere on packaging does it say that it does NOT work with latest OS! And guess what, no way of rolling back to, or simply uploading, an older OS which I understand works fine with this adapter.

Not good enough, I'd given "0" out of 5 too...but I can't!

Bought this so I could watch my films etc on a proper tv, and whilst it will work on my full HD 22" bedroom tv (and it's really good), it won't work on my older bigger HD READY tv in the living room, because it won't let me change the resolution that the films play in. But, it works when I hook it up to the iPhone 4. I had this problem with my Bluray DVD player but could change the resolution. Ah well, will just need to keep that in mind when I change the tv!

After reading reviews saying it does not work with iOS 6 I was convinced not to buy it but after talking to someone at an Apple Store I can indeed confirm it does work with iOS 6.0.1

I've tested it and the video and audio work just fine (only video content however will be displayed full screen)

Disappointed that it would not work on samsung plasma hd tv, just comes up with 'not compatible' on the screen although it does send the sound through.

Works well on cheaper lcd tv but as the samsung is our main tv not too pleased.

Check with apple on compatiblilty before buying.

Several reviews said that this cable wouldn't work with iOs 6 on iPad, so I was hesitant to buy this adapter. I received it this morning and it works fine (in conjunction with an HDMI-to-HDMI cable).

I've tried it simply mirroring my iPad (e.g. with games) which works fine, but leaves a black border on the TV screen. I also tried playing videos and film and this works perfectly, using the whole TV screen with no black border.

I hope this is reassuring to people (like me) who are not sure whether it works or not.

I bought this adapter in early 2012 for my original iPad (1), and worked well, although of course only with a few features such as movies or YouTube.

When connecting it to my new iPad (3) it says that the connected hardware is not compatible. It states this every time I connect it, although it sometimes actually workes anyway.

I know this is not a problem for all new iPad (3) users, but a few though, so be sure to check out that it works perhaps before buying it, or test it immediately after buying it.
