Why won't it work? I have the ipad2. Got message Not compatible with this device . Tv is new, av cables did not work either

I'm not too sure to be honest. The av cables didn't work for me only the hdmi. Another bad thing is some apps aren't compatible with it which makes it pretty crappy

I don't believe this item is supported for the iPad2; only for the regular iPad.

iPad 2 is too old to compatible... Normally, all type of this TV output cable will fit iPad 3/4/5, iPad 2 is totally different chip compare with them, so it is not compatible.

Leigh: I bought it for my ipad 2 and supposedly it was compatible, but I could never get it to connect.

No problem. It should work right out of the box. If not, then you just have to couple it with your apple TV but all of mine have just worked.

Hello christine, I had the same problem with this cable and never got assistance from the seller. I ended up installing the skifta app free from iTunes and using my smart bluray player to stream my videos. Cable was a bust with i pad 1st gen.

Mine didn't work at all, and I needed to pay for shipment back to the vendor. The vendor also grudgingly admitted to me that they have had similar experiences with this manufacturer, to which I asked, so why do you keep carrying this? If it worked at all, it should have worked with Apple TV with the connectors.

I can connect this cable to my iPod 4 and my iPad 2, but neither will play Amazon Instant Video on TV. The audio portion plays, but the video portion doesn't play. This isn't related to the cable, but is due to the Apple licensing limitations (from my limited understanding). However it does play Netflix (both video and audio) from my iPad 2 and my iPod 4 to the TV.

You've come across the same issues that I have in trying to set up my Apple TV. Basically the problem is that the instructions work fine -- as long as you are willing to let Apple TV be your "one and only" device. Most folks want to do what you and I do, though, use several devices via HDMI. I believe the only way to do that is with an HDMI splitter -- and not a switch. Use that and you're stuck with having to take still another step to do what should be seamless. I love Apple products -- in the abstract -- but their mindset is that they don't care to play nice with other technologies.

I tried didn't work. Tried to patch Apple TV and Netflix through single optical input using this device. Didn't work. Sorry.

A while ago I asked Skiva Tech the same question on playing videos from YouTube with my iPad2. I was told that YouTube did not support AirPlay, so it will not work with the adapter.

You need an air mid 2011 or newer running moutain lion or newer. Then you can mirror using the built-in airplay functionality. I had good luck with this device using ios6 on the iPad with this device, but ios7 is hit or miss for video, audio always works. You may find the same problem with newer versions of OSX. Also not all tv'a recognize this device as a valid HDMI input

Mine is still working, again the only issue was apple TV. My Blu-Ray, XBox 360 and cable box all work...apple TV needs it's on input directly into the TV.

No because the Ipad2 doesnt have a HDMI Output. If you want to use this cable with the Ipad2 you need first buy a conversor from the Ipad2 Output (I dont remember the name of this particularly output) to HDMI.

I have a similar adaptor to this and it can be done on that one. But I have not tried it on this one. but it looks like it would work by plugging the adaptor to the ipad and by using the usb out to the wall charger and the other HDMI out to your TV.

Are you asking about the audio connection or just hanging it on the iPad? Either should work.

I'm using it on an iPad gen 3 right now and it works. But what I've found out over the last few days with other non-Apple licensed cables, it's just not worth it.

If you have a hdmi adapter for your iPhone/pad it will work. I do this with my ipad2, and it works great! Not all apps support external displays though (eg msnbc app).
