How do I connect my iPad/iPhone to a projector?

You can project your slideshows physically with an adapter (a.k.a. "dongle) or wirelessly with AppleTV.


1. Wire-full: Dongle

You'll need to answer 2 questions before purchasing a dongle:

  • Do you have the "older generation" device (iPad 3 or iPhone 4 and prior) with the wider socket on the bottom, or the newer style narrow lightning socket (iPad air and iPhone 5/6)? 
  • Do you have a state-of-the-art HDMI high-definition projector, or a standard VGA projector? 
Dongle adapters can be purchased on apple.com or amazon.com


2. Wire-less: AppleTV


Thanks to Apple's proprietary "AirPlay", you can broadcast your slideshows wirelessly with an AppleTV. Click here/forward this URL to your tech support team for installation assistance. To connect your device to AppleTV, drag your finger upward from the bottom edge to the screen's midpoint. Tap Airplay, select Apple TV, and switch on "Mirroring."

Advancing Slides in Presentation Mode

There are 2 ways to advance slides when you are in slideshow view mode. 

  1. You may single tap anywhere on the screen to reveal forward and back arrows in the footer. Tap these arrows to move forward or back in your presentation.
  2. Swipe your finger from outside of the viewing screen to roughly the center of the viewing screen. IMPORTANT: You must begin this motion from the outside extent of the viewing screen to avoid panning the image itself.
