Lightning av adapter to HDMI no longer working after IOS16 update. Updated to current iOS 16.0.3 using Apple certified cord, turned off and on, phone is updated and backed up. It work until ios16. Another phone works, but not updated to the iOS16. For example Netflix mirrors from phone to tv and will play the trailer, but once I hit play the screen goes black and says now playing on your tv. But is not playing anything. How can I fix this issue? Thank you.
Not helpful at all. The update to IOS 16 is not compatible with the AV digital lightning plug. We full time RV and do not have WiFi. We depend on the AV plug adapter. We even bought a new one. My wife just purchased the new 14, she had s 6 which worked great. Our iPad worked great until we updated to the 16. Now nothing works. You all need to fix this and quick passing the buck to the other streaming platforms.
I called tech support and got to one of the higher-ups. He actually acknowledged it is an IOS 16 series software issue and that Apple is aware of it. Trouble is, he didn't give any specifics as to when it would be fixed or how. He thought probably through another IOS upgrade. Yikes !! Very maddening.
I am having the same issues with streaming Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, etc. I've upgraded to iOS 16.1 as well, without any successful "fix". I am using a certified Apple OEM lightning to HDMI adapter. I've attempted the use of all SIX of my certified Apple OEM lightning to HDMI dongles with zero success of each. Either I have a black screen on my TV with audio or I have no audio and a "stuttering" video display whereby the video plays in slow motion for a second then pauses, plays again in slow-mo for a second then pauses...and so forth. Currently ONE streaming apps worked successfully...Disney+. I find it a sickening shame that I've paid for six lightning to HDMI cables at the cost of nearly $50 each and the so called "much needed" updates fail to accommodate and keep useful purpose with an Apple designed and sold accessory.
My original issue was that the "Lightning Digital AV Adapter" stopped working for one specific iPhone (connecting via HDMI to a TV for screen mirroring and Fitness+ playback). The TV would not recognize any input, the same adapter worked with a different iPhone.
My wife and I sat down this evening to watch a Prime Video we had been looking forward to watching......could not use our lightning to HDMI adaptor since updating our phones to iOS 16.2-----unbelievable. I've spent hard earned money on cables and an official Apple adapter so we can mirror movies to our TV screen in the rural area we live. Everything has worked perfectly the last couple of years until updating our iPhones to the latest software. I've been a loyal Apple customer for over 35 years and this takes the cake. We are so disappointed in how this has been handled by Apple. There should have been an immediate update released to address this issue. Apparently we are one household out of many that are presently dealing with this issue. We also do a lot of traveling in our motor home and will not be able to mirror movies to our tv until this issue is fixed. Highly disappointed.
This is ridiculous advice. Both my adaptors worked perfectly with the equipment I have until I updated to IOS 16 and now neither works! Also tried them on 2 tv's so it is not anything that I can do to fix it. This is a major bug that apple needs to fix.
Holy THANK YOU for that comment. I live remote and have spent many hours and money trying to figure out what is wrong with my phone and/or device and Apple keeps blowing it off with aloof canned suggestions and responses that are totally not helpful but incredibly time taxing.
I have a similar problem...with most of my streaming apps. Using the lightning to HDMI adaptor works fine for screen mirroring, such as using google, or photos, static content, but not for video. I've read recently that there are quite a few people with similar issues. Most of my streaming apps play, but are choppy, and have no audio. It seems this happened after I upgraded to an iPhone 14, and ios16. Everything worked great previously, iPhone 11, ios15.7. Help?
@Stephanie I just started to use Roku for online streaming TV programs and movies to provide to guests. I have not started to subscribe any paid channels such as Netflix, Amazon video, YouTube TV etc.
Yes we offer Netflix and Amazon Prime. We have the usual channel apps on the TV's as well (BBC Iplayer etc). We use Amazon Firesticks and Guest profiles on Netflix which seems to work well. We have all admin locked down with passwords though as a security precaution so guests can't access our details or anything.
wonderful info, Mel! thank you so much for your input! we are officially cutting the cord in our new places going forward and if it works well (we are in a very remote part of NC, just north of the beginning of the Appalachian Trail) so internet dependability used to be a HUGE concern, but has come a long way to allow us to explore the option which we've had in our homes for a while, but it has been far from smooth! most of the kinks have been smoothed out & thanks to wonderful people like you and others willing to share their experiences, it is sure to be a success.
My guest room has a Roku device with Netflix, Amazon Prime, Showtime, and other some other cable and local channels (ESPN, CNN, PBS, etc). One guest signed into their Hulu account. I haven't logged out of it and have been watching myself: is that wrong lol? Broadcast tv is not available, but I haven't had complaints.
I know it is tempting to stay logged into a guests streaming service to watch stuff that you don't otherwise have access to. Here is the ethical problem with it. Of course that guest is still using there own account, so every time they log in they probably see a history of things it's telling them they have watched. ALSO, you are screwing up their algorithm of their personal Hulu recommendations. It becomes a part of YOUR tastes that are showing up for them...classy.
So yes, it is wrong. If you allow people to log into their own streaming service accounts at all, then a part of your cleaning/reset between guests should include checking the tv for that and logging people out and resetting it to you guest account. Voila
Haha I think if the guest doesn't sign themselves out- it is up to you if you sign them out or not ;-). I wonder if they think housekeeping takes care of that hmmm. I'm deciding if I want to get rid of Apple TV. I watched Ted Lasso and Severence and Loot and a couple more but haven' t watched it since July. Any recommendations for anything great on there? For $10/month do I just keep it for my guests?
Side question- maybe I should make a post but will ask here: has anyone surveyed past guests? At my job we survey about all the services we provide and I'm tempted to do a survey to find out what people think about the location, amenities, check in and check out, any other suggestions they have, etc. I'm sure I won't have 100% response rate but even if I get 5-10 responses it will be more information than I have now.
I've never thought about giving a survey, and if I would make one, I'd only ask questions about the things that I can or want to change. For example, I wouldn't ask a guest to rate the location or check-in/checkout procedure because I can't move.
We are on a long trip in Spain and many of our hotels have not had any English language TV stations. In a couple of apartments we have had Smart TVs and when I have gone to log into my own streaming services have found that people who have stayed there before me have not logged out. I have just been using that person's Netflix or Prime video to watch things - being careful not to watch anything that incurs a cost or anything R rated.
My view is that I am not harming "Tom and Lucy" or "Sylvia" in any material way. My husband thinks I am doing the wrong thing. I am not very tech savvy and have no idea how I would log someone else out on a Smart TV so I could log in. I do have Netflix on my iPad but sometimes the big screen is better.
Tom and Lucy may wonder why Netflix is sending them recommendations - based on your selections. I also wonder if you are reducing the ability for them to log in at home? Here are Netflix different plans I have Basic, so if it was my account, I wouldn't be able to watch from home if you were logged in as 'me'. So, for consideration, it may be better that you log them off and log in as 'you'.
That frequently happens to me staying at an AirBnB, and I usually don't worry about it. If the person who forgot to log out has account limitations like Maria's, Netflix always sends a message telling that person that there is an additional user and asks if they want to log them out. So you might be booted off in the middle of something, but you won't be depriving someone else of the chance to watch.
Notwithstanding another's failure to secure their own login information, it's not "your's" and "you" don't have permission. The moral thing to do would be to delete the login information and forget it. Just because you believe you're innocently streaming and you're not causing harm, it does not make it right.
However one thing I would do before you leave is log out of the account. Someone not as nice as you might play havoc with it. It's an easy thing to do - just go to the main profile (usually the first one listed) then go up to the profile icon in the upper right hand corner and click "Sign out of Netflix."
Camp 1 says it's okay to use the property or possession of another without their permission if these criteria are met:
a) the owner failed to properly secure his property.
b) the unauthorized use of the property did not cost the owner any money or cause him material harm
c) EDIT: must not be an illegal act.
d) EDIT: sees the issue as one of etiquette
