Questions & Answers for Apple 30-pin to VGA Adapter

Not this version of the cable as the iPad mini does not have a 30 pin connector. You can get a version of the cable though that has the lightening connector that does work with the iPad mini.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, lots of dock extension cables around (either on Apple store, or Ebay, or other shops). Search on words like 'dock extension'.
Cheers, D.

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.

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!

Unless the developer of Zumocast wrote the app to support it, No! It is up to the app developer to decided whether or not they wish to support this.
