I want to connect iPad using 30-pin to VGA adapter. Has anyone had luck doing this? I've heard of "MobiShow," but looks highly daunting &amp; restrictive.

I have used both the 30-pin to HDMI and Lighting to HDMI adapters to this projector from iPhones and was able to display videos and PowerPoint slideshows. I've not yet tried the 30-pin to VGA on this projector however it worked to a Dell projector.

I've been looking into it, and this is what I've found: http://9to5mac.com/2014/01/10/video-connect-your-ipad-to-the-internet-via-ethernet-cable-with-this-easy-hack/And another how-to video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=nKp02y4JXVs

I use an "Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter" for my monitor at work that runs 1920x1080 resolution. However, the standard DisplayPort adapters max out at 1920x1200, so at home, I use the "Apple Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link Display Adapter, with USB Extension" to connect to my 30" Apple Cinema Display that runs 2560x1600. You obviously don't have to use Apple.. I'm sure any Mini Display Port adapter will work. I just find Apple adapters to be high quality and readily available.

If you found something that did work, could you please tell me what it was? I'm looking for the same thing. I want to connect a Wii (RCA) to my monitor (VGA) since I don't have a TV. I already have the audio thing worked out, but I need a configuration that works for video. Thank you!!

I hooked up a laptop to input 1, and my projector saw it fine but when I hooked up an ipad to a vga adapter the projector did not see the signal. It may be a resolution issue with ipads but laptops work fine

late but relevant: There is an iPad/iPhone lightning-to-HDMI adapter available for around $40 that should work just fine with this.

You shouldn't need any adapters. All you do is set your iPad on the dock and voila. I'll be honest though. I stopped using it because it's not as practical as it looks. I just bought the Google Chromecast and it's by far a better product.

Sorry but I don't think this is the correct connector. Amazon usually has detailed connection drawings on spec page. Try pulling up VGA connectors to see if they offer one for your phone and i-pad mini. Also you can call VGA supplier and ask if connector available.

Hi, can't help you there but works well on my ipad 2 to an ancient Phillips 29' CRT tv, connecting to the front AV Line in ports. I. Using iOS 7 .

There is a 30 pin to Lightning adapter from Apple, but it only works for adapting the charger and the syncing cable. Apple shows on their site that it does not work at all for display mirroring. So there is no solution to connect to a newer Apple device since there are no other cables available for it.

No, this is for connecting a mini display port to hdmi. iPads do not have that connectivity.

No I just tried on both my old iPad2 and new ipad air2 with genuine Apple 30pin and lightning USB camera adapters. Both iPads gives me an "Usb 2.0 card reader: The connected device requires too much power" error.

Can't help you here. You will need to configure the device through a LAN port which I do not think an iPad has. You can use a laptop or PC that allow s you mto look at the device's system. My 300 stopped working and is now a paperweight!

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.

Good and timely question. I just tested my iPhone 4S running iOS 7 and ported Netflix video and sound to my 24" monitor without issue. Did need to remove the iPhone from its Belkin silicone bumper shell to get a solid connection with the 30-pin plug. This adapter is definitely in my travel bag.

the only way to hook up anything (other than a pre iphone 5)is to connect via VGA. For this you need a VGA adapter from your device- be it an iPhone 5 or a macbook-AND a VGA to projector cable. And there's the problem, the proprietry VGA to projector cord is almost impossible to get since I bought my projector. Great little device, but I can't get a VGA cable. My advice is locate a cable first, or buy a different model. I am pretty disappointed I bought this, i was pretty excited at the use I could out it to at work and home, but it's instead barely been used.

I don't think so. the mini iPad uses a Lightning cable for connection, which is different from the Thunderbolt miniDisplay Port. Try looking for a lightning-to-HDMI adapter/cable. You may need to purchase the lightning-to-apple 30-pin adaptor to bridge the connection though. Hope this helps.
