Reviews for Apple 30-pin to VGA Adapter

I teach university classes and have started using the adapter to connect my iPad2 to the projector. I have not found an app that does not work with this adapter. I love it!

This is great it allows full mirroring on the iPad 2 and is great for presentations you need to show in class. Works great on monitors and projectors. Im sure anyone with an iPad 2 will enjoy. Exept for one flaw, when you go to play a movie bought from iTunes it is not supported. Other than that great buy.

I bought this from the apple store today and it dosent work I plugged it in and it still dosent work I have only tried it on one tv it is a samsung it recognises it but dosent play it any help would be apprieciated

I bought this for one of my classes. Sure, the adapter worked but it is over priced. I also couldnt get the screws of the vga cable to stay in so during my presentation I had to use one hand to hold the to parts together. I wont be buying another one.

I used the adapter for a presentation I did at a conference last weekend and it worked perfectly. Easy to use and worth it.

I bought this adapter to show a keynote presentation on a sony digital projector. The adapter partially worked in that it got the iPad2 screen onto the projector but the keynote presentation was shifted way off to the right of the projected area thus cropping 20% off from, the left hand side. I had to attach my laptop in the end which worked perfectly through the same projector.

I have also had no luck with the apple iPad hdmi adapter which repeatedly goes black or green after every 10 minutes or so of movie playback.

My impression is that apple is rushing these products to market before they are ready.

Bought this for university teaching - presenting via projector. Keynote works perfectly after moving files across from laptop (get Keynote Remote app and you have an iPhone4 as a remote for the presentation so you are not stuck in front of ipad - very nice!).

Also ran ipad2 into large plasma TV via PC input socket (ie VGA input, so not HDMI quality) - perfect mirroring. Does exactly what it is meant to, so be sure you know what this will do vs the HDMI adaptor.

Keep in mind the following: 1. no audio - must use headphone socket with another cable - clumsy, but works fine; 2. will mirror all of what's on iPad2 - but not all non-apple apps will do this; 3. no power to iPad2 when in use - make sure it's fully charged before use.

I used this with iphone 4 before and it worked (only for tv-out like photos, ipod videos and powerpoint slideshow), but later it doesn't work anymore. I think after I updated my ios to the latest version, this thing was really useless to me. So up till now, I'm still waiting if Apple will update the ios again but with this issue fixed. =(

I purchased this to use my iPad 2 with my projector for a training class I am planning. I tested it and it works perfectly for what I need. It mirrors exactly what's on the iPad screen. I didn't have any problems with any of my apps including Safari, photos, email, iBooks, Quickoffice, Amplitube, Star Walk, and videos without DRM.

This highlights one exception that may be a deal breaker for some. It absolutely will not project any videos with DRM. I purchased one movie via iTunes just for the fun of it. That movie will not play on my projector using this adapter. However, any videos I ripped from DVDs to m4v project absolutely fine.

On the Apple site is does say, "Mirroring supported only by iPad 2." However, the text is gray on white instead of black on white making it hard to notice. I'm surprised Apple would allow this as unsuspecting iPad 1 users become upset customers realizing they can't do mirroring.

Got this item to present from Keynote, watch films and play games. So far I have not been disappointed. Real Racing 2 HD is a particular high point.
