How to Use a VGA iPad Adapter to Play a Slide Show

The Photos app included with all Apple iPads is a great way to browse through digital images stored on the touchscreen tablet and display picture slideshows of your favorite digital memories. If you want to connect your iPad to a TV or computer monitor with a VGA input, you can connect the two using the iPad VGA adapter and VGA cable (sold separately from the iPad) and view your slideshow on both the iPad and the larger screen in just a few quick steps.

Step 1

Power on the iPad by pressing the "Power" button. Tap the "Photos" app to open it. Preview icons of all digital images stored on the iPad appear.

Step 2

Connect the iPad VGA adapter to the iPad at the connector port underneath the iPad's "Home" button. Connect one end of the VGA cable to the iPad's VGA adapter. Connect the other end of the VGA cable to your TV or computer monitor's VGA input port. Turn on the TV or computer monitor and set it to display input from the VGA port.

Step 3

Tap the "Slideshow" button in the upper-right-hand corner of the iPad screen. The Slideshow Options menu appears with the default settings. By default, the "Play Music" setting is set to "On" and the "Transition" setting is set to "Dissolve." Touch the Slideshow Options menu to make changes if, for example, you'd prefer to play the slideshow without music or if you'd prefer to change how the images will transition from one to the next.

Step 4

Tap the "Start Slideshow" button. The slideshow begins to display the iPad's photos on both the iPad screen and the TV or computer monitor.
