I bought this thinking I could connect from my iPad Air to my TV to watch movies but get no sound, would an adapter work, VGA to HDMI?

VGA is only for the video not the sound. I use this adapter to connect to a projector that I have which does not have HDMI. I then connect a 3.5 mm cable into the iPad earphone/speaker jack to get sound. You could do the same for your TV. I also bought the apple lightning to HDMI adapter for connecting to my TV. That adapter carries both video and audio like you wanted but you must have an available HDMI port on your TV for it to work. The bottom line is the adapter you purchased only carries the video signal. For sound with that adapter you have 3 choices: 1. Use the sound on your iPad. 2. Plug a cable into your iPad earphone jack and some sound device (your TV). 3. Connect your iPad to a Bluetooth speaker system. I use this method when it's available.

Lightning to VGA will deliver no sound to TV. It will only mirror the image of the iPad to your screen. You will need the Lightning to HDMI to connect to the HDMI port on your TV in order to receive image and sound.

I'm not sure if that would work or not, but we just bought the Google ChromeCast $35. It is a dongle that hooks into the HDMI and picks up wireless from iPhone, ipad, or MacBook. Very slick. Anything we watch on these devices displays on the tv. I understand Apple TV is similar but it is $99.

That looks like what I have. I plug an optical plug from my Apple TV to that device but, in my case, then run analog from that to an Smart Board. I would assume, with the right cable connection, you could make it work with headphones. I will tell you that sometimes I've failed to get sound. As I recall, it has always been when reconnecting. Each time I unplugged and replugged in each connecting element and it would work.

These devices connect an HDMI output to VGA. The MacBook air has a Mini DisplayPort output on its Thunderbolt connector. This isn't the correct device to adapt that to VGA.

if your iPad has a HDMI out port, then this system will transport it to your TV with HDMI in. It would look just like a cable to the originating device. And yes, seeing Hillard's answer reminds me, you'll probably have to add power from somewhere.

I personally have not tried to hook it to an ipad but everything I have hooked them too that has an HDMI port has worked as it should.

To hook your iPad up to an external display (i.e. a television) you will need both an HDMI cable AND the Apple digital AV adapter.

No, I already returned the item to Amazon for refund. It did not have any HDMI output only a PC output. Took it locally to Best Buy and Tiger Mart and Fry's and they could not find any adaptor to connect to IPAD 4

The adapter will allow you to view whatever is on the iPad screen on whatever HDMI-input monitor you attach to it. Whether or not the iPad will stream content is not related to the adapter itself.

Yes you can! You just need to have the adaptor to connect the iPad to the HDMI or mini HDMI cable!

I don't do Apple, but usually HDMI cables are pretty much interchangeable. Some tablets use a "mini" hdmi. If the "Air" has the same size connector as the TV, almost any HDMI cable will work, up to 15-20 feet. If you go long, invest in good quality cables. These are a nice product.

Hi Manson, If you are connecting this with the iPad Air, then you would need a Lightning Digital AV Adapter to connect it (not included in the product).

Don't buy it, go with the apple brand, I've bought 2 of these knockoff adapters and they have both broke in 2-3 uses. If your port on the Ipad air has a small lightning bolt graphic it will work.

Hi,I used a cable to connect to the tv, had a problem with Windows 8.1 and it was quicker to use the cable. I do not have ipads. Someday, when I get time, I will try the wireless option again, but for now, online order of hdmi cable was quicker. I used a 30'. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. I did read where 8.1 would work, and during the attempt at install, they recognized each other, and my patience ran out about that time.

First - I do not have an iPad air. The projector has ports for usb, hdmi, and a universal i/o. Since the iPad air comes with the lightening to usb, that should work, but I haven't tried it.
