If you mean that you can't select, the input for the VGA input on your TV. You need to go into the TV settings, and enable the input for VGA. On most TV's it not on by default and must be turned on in settings. You will then be able to select VGA from your input menu listing. Then you should be able to watch the TV from your iPad over VGA. You will not have sound thru the VGA cable, you will need to have a 3.5mm male plug, for the iPad, with male RCA connectors on the other end, to connect to the TV's audio input and then assign, in TV settings, that input to the VGA video input. Pair them up, so to speak. Can't be specific, do to many variations from TV manufactures on how the menus and setting are displayed and used.
