“Oslo” case for iPad 2 and new iPad on Amazon.it. iPad Mate: Transfer movie/video/DVD/music/photo from PC to iPad. In Education. Connecting Apple TV to a VGA Projector (and AirPlay from iPad)  Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been involved in a number of events where I needed to use my iPad to deliver a presentation or demonstration.

Connecting Apple TV to a VGA Projector (and AirPlay from iPad) 

I wanted to use AirPlay through Apple TV to allow me to mirror my iPad wirelessly on the screen but I knew that the projectors in the conference venues were VGA only. There doesn’t seem to be one easy solution to this problem, and following various bits of advice on the web and on discussion groups I ordered four different solutions from Amazon in the hope that at least one would work. I thought it would be useful to present my findings here. Within the education world AirPlay offers an amazing opportunity for using the iPad in the classroom, but the difficulty is likely to be connecting the Apple TV to a VGA projector.

I hope these findings will be useful to teachers keen to use their iPads in the classroom and “project wirelessly”. Please note that I’ve only been able to test these on the VGA input on a TV, rather than on a projector. The How-to Manual That You Can Edit.
