    Does not work

    • Written by from Phoenix

    So I bought this since I have an Ipad 3 and an Ipad 4, the problem is when I plug it into my ipad 4 via a 30 pin to lighnening connector it says it is not a supported device. I thought that was the whole point of the 30 pin to lighning connector, to make 30 pin products work on the new lightneng connector

    Does not work with iPad 2

    • Written by from Denton

    I am seriously about to trash all of my apple products! I bought this adapter before AirPlay came out. The current version of Flixster is still not working correctly with AirPlay even with the update that came out today (4/22/13). So I resorted to my old 30 pin to hdmi which use to work fine with my iPad 2. Now with the iOS 6 software it doesn't??? What kind of show are you running apple? That's absolute garbage. I can understand the the Flixster side which is probably one or 2 more software updates away from getting it right, but a genuine apple product that doesn't work anymore because of an apple software update. WOW! This is 2013....get it right!

    Poor image quality

    • Written by from Madison

    Image quality is washed out compared to same videos sent to same TV via AirPlay and Apple TV box.

    This will work OK for my intended purpose - connecting to TVs while traveling - but spend $60 more for Apple TV at home/office.

    Worked with iPads 2 and 3. Did not work with iPhone 5 via Apple adapter, even though Apple Store employee said it would.

    Works fine with iOS 6

    • Written by from Shoreview

    There are a few reviews on here that say the adapter doesn't work with iOS 6. These reviews are INCORRECT. The adapter works fine with iOS 6.

    Disappointed

    • Written by from Winnipeg

    iPad with retina display connected to lightning to 30 pin adaptor connected to 30 pin digital connector and I get a message "This accessory is not supported by iPad". I suppose I need to go out and purchase yet another over priced adaptor (lightning digital). The guys on the classic Apple branding ads should change places in my opinion. The clumsy nerdy guy is now...Apple.

    Do not buy for Amazon Instant Video Streaming

    • Written by from Kansas City

    Since Apple and Amazon can't play nice with each other, I will be returning this product. It does an okay job of mirroring what's on my iPad (the image quality is not broadcast television or DVD quality), but since I can't play Amazon instant videos (through an iPad app no less) because of licensing agreements (which are "laughable" according to Macworld) I am not happy. This might be worth buying if you are an Apple loyal person who doesn't ever buy a non-apple product....ever.

    Love It!

    • Written by from Casselberry

    I recently purchased the digital AV adapter and it works great. By plugging the adapted into my tv and my iPad 2, I have been able to watch Netflix, view all of my photos, watch my own videos, listen to music, look at my calender... etc. I have not tried the connection with my iPhone 4, but as of now, I am very happy with the adapter.

    30 pin digital AV adapter = disappointed

    • Written by from omaha

    How do you own such a lucrative, reputable company and put your brand name on a product that doesn't work universally with all your products that fit the generalized criteria. I purchased this adapter over the rocket fish brand at best buy to figure out after this adapter only works with few and far between randomized iPod/ iPads. The Best Buy sales clerk was certain that this would work with my IPad, but no dice. iPad 4 was left out for whatever reason. Yes, I finally read the scattered applicable devices on the side panel, but everyone knows Apple users have been taught not to read terms and conditions when buying seemingly obvious purchases.

    Do not buy!!!

    • Written by from Sixmilebridge

    This is the biggest waste of money. As mentioned does not work on IOS6 you get a message saying "the device is not supported" was working fine on earlier versions. Absolute joke that you pay out €30 for an adapter for them to update the IOS and for it not too work afterwards. Could be forgiven if this was not an apple product but it is & doesn't explain why its still on sale.

    Works Flawlessly

    • Written by from NEW YORK

    I was intimidated by the negative reviews but went ahead with the purchase anyway. I needed this adapter to play iTunes rented movies and TV Shows off my iPad 3 onto my Panasonic Plasma 46". I have played SD content so far (Skyfall) but i have checked the specs of my plasma and it support HDCP so there should be no issues with protected HD content.
    Both picture and sound were great.

    worth the pricey tag for me...

    I got this for my birthday last year and it worked fine. Then I upgraded to iOS 6 the day it came out, and it has not worked since.

    works great!

    • Written by from Calgary

    I have the first Ipad and when I first connected it to my TV the screen it was blank and I was really angry. It worked once I opened up Netflix though so I guess it just doesn't work until your movie is playing.
