I just bought a cable for my iPad 2 that is running IOS 5.0.1 and tried to connect it to my tv via the video and audio connections but can't view the iPad screen on the TV. Is there a setting or is this even possible?

Hi and welcome to the Forum!
Can you tell us what cable you have bought, I'm fairly certain you need a HDMI cable for this, hopefully others will chime in who know more.

Hi Fefabre and welcome to the forum! :)Quote:

Also you need to provide information on your TV? Is this a HDTV and what inputs does the TV offer (also please make sure that you have set the TV to the correct input)? Answers to these questions will help all of us to better respond to your needs - good luck and please post back!
