    Don't buy this if you want to watch anything from iTunes. Not supported, was told at the Apple store I could! Looks like they need to do more employee training.

    I love Apple. I own stock in Apple. I own lots of its products and don't care how pricey they are because I've received quality commensurate with or greater than the money spent. But this cable is utter garbage. At least they could have told me up front I couldn't show movies I downloaded from iTunes. I really felt let down. I may not abandon Apple products if this happens again, but I'll sure dump the stock.

    pops out too easily, needs "teeth" and release buttons

    The adapter can easily get disconneted from ipad, it has actually popped out during every conference I have ever used it for (now I don't anymore)

    If you want to be able to rely on it and have confidence that it won't pop out at the worst possible moment, the design would need to be changed to make the connection to the device more solid (like my car charger, which has "teeth" that lock the iphone into place, and two buttons to release it).

    Does not work on iPhone4

    The specs and packaging clearly state that the adapter will work on iPhone 4 and 4S, but it only works on the 4S model. It is very frustrating to order a product that you think will work on several device models, but ends up only working on one.

    Just doesn' twork

    Used it last night and it worked perfectly. However, I tried to use it again today and it doesn't work. I am very frustrated. I've tried many times to connect it and the tv just doesn't get a signal. I am very frustrated. BTW though the box has a picture on it, it doesn't actually tell you that you're going to need a VGA cable.

    This Accessory is Not Supported by iPad

    Using a brand new iPad (4th generation), connecting to a Lightning to 30 pin adapter, for the purposes of projecting on a VGA projector at my office, the iPad Gen 4 returns the message "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPad" Review form would not let me select 0 stars, so I had to give it one star.

    I loved my little VGA connector as I teach and use my Ipad for all my classes. Since the upgrade to the iOS6 it hasnt worked. I've tried using my students' iPads as well and since they have all upgraded to iOS6, it doesn't work on theirs either! I wish I could go back!

    Doesn't work with iPhone 4 running iOS 6

    My iPhone 4 worked fine with iOS 5 but after upgrading to iOS 6 no projectors work anymore. The projector detects a connected device but displays nothing.
    I hold a lot of courses on different projectors all the time and now none of them work, pretty annoying. I hope Apple can make a fix.

    Doesn't work on my iPad 2

    Mirroring does not work on my iPad 2 with that cable, I can't watch videos either. It works with my iPhone 4 though (not for mirroring but to watch videos) with the same cable and the same TV set. So I don't understand and Apple won't help. It might be an app I have installed on my iPad which is not compatible...really annoying. I'm a trainer and need to use my iPad to display my keynotes presentations...it simply won't work...

    Expensive VGA Adapter no longer working after 6.0 Update

    • Written by from Orlando

    I’m incredibly annoyed that my $30.00 VGA adapter no longer works since updating my iPhone 4 to 6.0. I use this to display Youtube videos in my high school classroom. I have not been able to mirror my screen since Oct 2 when I updated my phone.

    Is Apple becoming Microsoft?

    A;lthough this reads as a complete, mirroring solution, it is not. Shame on Apple for misleading on this front once again!

    Get it right folks and be honest!

    Bought it to use my iPad2 with a projector. Should have read the reviews first.. Videos from iTunes will not play. Should be clearly labelled as a limited functionality device!

    Serious presentation limitations

    • Written by from Belmont

    65 of 69 people found this useful

    Pros:
    The adapter works.

    Cons:
    The adapter only works with youtube and a few other select apps. If you are hoping to use your ipad as a presentation tool (I teach at a university and this is what I was hoping for) you will be extremely upset to find that it doesn't work with most presentation apps ie Prezi etc.

    Buyer Beware!

    One star only because I cannot rate it at zero! Yes I buy movies from I tunes. I bought my Ipad 2 from Apple. I bought this adapter from apple. Now the rub! It will allow an I tunes purchased movie to play on your TV for about 20 seconds before it stops it, and gives you a pop up that it will not play on a non compatible device??!!! Not what I read in the description!
    Totally Disgusted!!! What now, " you must purchase an Apple TV?!!!
    Do Not Buy It!!!
