I use my iPad 8 gen to teach my class through projector. For I purchased a third party lightening to HDMI adapter. It was working fine till iPad OS 16.1. When I installed iPad OS 16.2 it stopped working. When I installed iPad OS 16.3 the adapter works with a smart TV but still doesn't work with a projector. Is it a software glitch? Please provide me an urgent solution.
iPad, iPadOS 16
Hey RajeshKvm,
The projector may need a software and/or firmware update to ensure it stays compatible with the iPadOS version. This is a good place to start, since other devices are working as expected when using the adapter.
Another troubleshooting to help isolate the issue, is testing with a different lightning to HDMI adapter. Preferably one thats Apple branded and/or Apple certified. For information on identifying Apple certified accessories, review the information here: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories.
If the projector software/firmware version is up-to-date and a different adapter didn't help, let us know exactly what happens when iPad is connected to the projector. Does the projector and/or iPad so any error messages or alerts?
Have you gone through powering off and restarting both devices?
Let us know. Take care.
Hello RajeshKvm,
If you still have issues and all of the have been purchased from Apple, such as these: About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Then you can call Apple directly to investigate this further with you: Contact Apple Support
If you have not tested this with Apple adaptors, they will recommend testing with official adaptors made for iOS before anything else. Thanks.
I already tried 3 different adapters but the issue remains the same. There are many in the community who are facing similar kind of issues. I think it's Apple who can do something to solve.
