iPad Camera Connection Kit issues and CF cards
On an IPAD2 we have just tried to use an SD card using the reader that comes in the connection kit. The card did not show up on the IPAD and the images could only be viewed by connecting the camera with this SD card in it.
Some other cards read just fine. Unfortunately I have not recorded the capacity of the cards we tried it with, and unsure if there is a limit to the size of the card the IPAD connection kit can recognize.
Another issue is that we also use CF cards a lot. Not sure if these can be read by the IPAD in any way. Haven't had one on hand to try at least connecting the Canon 5D Mark II to it to see if it would read via the camera.
Any experiences people can share with me on either cases would be great.
Thanks & Regards- Asked by Damien T from Sydney

Will the product function using a widescreen display without letterboxing or stretching?
Will the iPad VGA Adapter display properly with a widescreen (16:9) monitor/projector/television without stretching a 4:3 aspect ratio image to fill the screen or letterboxing using an iPod Touch 4?

Best Answer:The answer is no, it seems to only be able to output 4:3 aspect ratio picture. This means that connecting it to a widescreen television, monitor or projector will result in stretching. This can be fixed by selecting ‘4:3’ in your display’s menu, but you’ll have black bars either side. Apple says you can use the adapter to “…connect an iPad to your television, projector, or VGA display.” But how many people still use 4:3 aspect ratio televisions?

does this cable work with TvCatchup app?
I would like to buy this cable to watch my favorite series on my tv. Is it possible to connect my ipad 2 to the tv with this cable and watch series on the tv?

AnswerHi, yes, I can confirm that the dock connector to VGA cable does work with the TV Catchup app. I've just bought this cable, and tried it with my iPad 3rd generation connected to a 4 to 5 year old Sony Bravia tv. I tried it on about a dozen channels and all were fine.
A quick advisory though, be aware that the first time you connect this type of cable, lots of people seem to get the 'this accessory is not supported' message. I got this too but then after re-connecting it has been fine ever since on multiple disconnects and reconnects, so don't be put off. Not promising that you won't have a problem but mine has worked out just fine.
One other thing to be aware of is that you can't use it to watch iTunes movies that are protected. If your tv series is on tv catchup then you're fine.- Answered by Andrew B from London
