Apple composite cable for iPad revisited

I may have posted to this group before regarding my unsuccessful attempts to use the Apple composite cable for iPads to be able to project iPad content on my classroom Promethean digital whiteboard (DWB). It only passes audio, but no video.
With the classic Tech support response, Promethean says it should work and the problem is with Apple. Apple says it should work and the problem is with Promethean. I even attempted dangling the cable from the NEC projector and got the same results. NEC says it is Apple and Promethean's problem.
Yesterday at the AzTEA Technology in Education conference, Promethean techs said I need to purchase the Apple TV to share between my iPad and their DWB. All this overpaid teacher needs is to invest another $100 in personally owned technology in an attempt to present content to students in a manner they are only interested in.
Does anyone have any experience with getting iPad content presented on a DWB from an iPad?
Does anyone have any experience with getting iPad content presented on a DWB from an iPad via an Apple TV?
Any suggestions?...Anyone? ...Anyone? ...Beuller? ...Anyone

Have to thought that you might have a defective cable? Have you tried taking it to an Apple Store to be check out?

Thank you Heiko! That's a great suggestion! I will take heed of that when I do my clean install.
I'm just a little bit scared about doing this on my own, but I think it's the best thing to do in the long run. I'll be very choosey as to what I restore to my clean hard drive.
Thanks again!

Sorry, folks, here it works in ANY view (under MacOS 10.7.2).
So: column view, yes; bug, no; Lion, OK.

No, it has been the same since 10.0, and is not a bug.

In my best Ed McMahon voice, "You are correct, sir!"

Works fine for me in 10.6.8. I do notice that the Column view sort does NOT automatically follow the detail view sort. I had to set each independently. But the Column will sort by Name. I can change it and change back.

How to copy audio book to computer?
Posted by: "vixpix" vixpix@frontiernet.net nyskater
Sun Jan 29, 2012 10:51 am (PST)
Hello,
I bought Steve Job's biography on audio disk. The problem I am having is that it is not playing correctly on my car CD player. I never had a problem with other CDs on that player.
Steve Job's first CD played fine, but after that, the other CDs keep giving me an error message and rejects it, or if it does finally play, it skips continuously. Very frustrating. I even returned the CD book to the store and received another one, but I'm having the same problem. The first CD plays and all the others won't.
Is there any way I can download the CDs onto my computer or duplicate to another format and burn to another CD?
It seems to play okay on my iMac's iTunes.

Have you tried those disks that are giving you problems in your car in another player or your computer? If its still having problems then you have to buy another copy.
audible.com has it for download and I think the apple iTunes store does too. I got it from audible.

Oh sorry, I just saw your last comment. I'd burn it from iTunes since it playing fine there. Then see if the burned copy jumps and stops.

I'll second Terry's suggestion. Open iTunes and go to Help to learn how to burn a disc from iTunes. You will have to let iTunes copy it into your iTunes library first.

???!? Say what?
If you start with 7 CD discs, you will end up with 7. Don't try burning them to a DVD, because your car can not play a data DVD as audio. (Unless things have changed.)

Hello Brent,
They were condensed to only one CD because the uncompressed AIFF audio files were converted to MP3. It sounds just as good.

No, but newer cars can play mp3 discs, not just AIFF ones, so that
might be the answer.

I've never found any compression, when burning books to CD, but then again it was probably tape cassette to CD in MP3 format.
I drive a 2000 Ranger with probably one of the last cassette/ CD/ radios. I just found cassette too bulky. It would play CDs burned from MP3, but not data format.
Now I just use my iPhone or a iPod with an aftermarket adapter to play them through the factory stereo. I used to travel a lot for work, and every rental vehicle has had either a auxiliary or USB port, so I could take several audio books with me on my iDevices. Especially when I was gone weeks at a time.
I've had the iPod adapter in the Ranger since about 2001 and it has more than paid for itself in audio pleasures in both the daily commute and long distance driving.
