    I have had the adapter for about a week, it works with hdmi and audio out for about 2 minutes, then it says accessory is not supported by iphone, and stops sending audio, and video out. Then I have to turn my phone off, and on again for it to work (for 2 minutes) Horrible

    The item works when it want, and its so so anoying because if you want to watch a movie or a sitcom you can't because if the device recognize the signal the tv not. You can see the blue light at the clock but the conection fails... 50 bucks? I feel very very cheated...

    Useless for development

    I bought this adapter so I could use it while developing an app that needed separate video output. It seemed perfect because it has the hdmi output as well as a passthrough lightning plug so you can keep it attached to your computer for development/debugging as well.

    Unfortunately, it only passes through power, and does not show up as the original device you plugged in, so its useless to me.

    I have been able to display everything from the screen of the iPad out to my TV. I have been able to play movies purchased from iTunes, those from my Kingston WiDrive, and those from my Seagate GoFlex Satellite. The problem with this small and simple, connector is that is severely overpriced! Not to mention, none of the 8pin to 30pin adapters do not support accessories... the adapters are only for charging and syncing! I have a nice Microvision SHOWWX+ Laser Pico Projector that is useless now because it uses a 30-pin connector :( It's all my fault for upgrading. The new lightning connector is the worst thing ever.

    Outrageously overpriced

    This adapter did not function well at all. Half the time the TV does not recognize the signal. The rest of the time the image was poor.

    It is excessively overpriced for what it is and performs poorly. This is an absolute insult from apple.

    Loose connection due to faulty and/or redesigned claws

    The new Apple MD098ZM/A adapter connector hooks up loosely and does not secure a solid connection! The connection is frequently lost and becomes annoying to the point that it is just too aggravating. My charger's 30-pin connection hooks up just fine. I examined the connectors carefully and compared differences. The MD098ZM/A adapter has slightly smaller claws, claw ends are more pointed and you can feel that it does not hook up as it is designed or intended to. I will return it for an exchanged item or cash. I use only original Apple components. This was however a let down by Apple considering the prices Apple charge!!

    This adapter is not working for me

    The video out put to my HDMI TV is very washed out with a red tint using this cable. I purchased this adapter to use with my Iphone 5 and I was hopping to be able to stream Netflix from my unlimited data Iphone to the TV. When I stream from the same Iphone to the TV via Airplay on the Apple TV I get a very clear video with great color, so I know it is not the Iphone, or TV causing the problem.
