iPad1, use the 30pins VGA cable - ios

I'm working on a simple application for a vacation with friends. It's something like the Wheel of Fortune.
The problem is that we with too much people to look at the iPad1, so I was thinking to beam the application. I got the 30pins VGA connector that I use for keynote and Adobe Idea, so I think it's possible.
I don't find something on the internet, or I can't figure it out how to search this specific problem.
Thanks in advance.

I found a bit off source code that helps

:-)

There's also this: https://github.com/freespace/TVOutManager which I was able to get working.
(this is an improved fork of work by Rob Terrell).
I didn't realise that the lack of video mirroring by default is a problem was only with the iPad 1 (which I don't have to support) as detailed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4108

Roll overs in interactive pdfs for iPad—nothing is working

I'm having a problem with making roll overs work in an interactive pdf for iPad and mobile devices. I've spent hours looking for a resolution, but have found nothing for this specific issue...
What I have is sections in the document where the viewer can answer questions via check boxes. The check boxes work fine. However the check boxes for the incorrect answers trigger, on roll over, a 'pop-up' window that will nudge them to the correct answer. I have tried doing this through InDesign at the design stage and through Acrobat. Right now the functionality is primarily through Acrobat (seems to be closer to the end goal).
I'm not sure if it's as simple as a setting or what? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. More specific information can be given if needed. Thanks!
You have to look at the "documentation" for the various PDF viewers for iOS, and see what they support.
Opposed to the Windows and OSX platforms, Adobe Reader for iOS (and Android) is mediocre at best, when it comes to JavaScript support (which is most likely the base for the rollovers). For iOS, the leader of the pack is PDFExpert by Readdle. With some luck, this PDF viewer may support what you want to accomplish.

How to implement Pivot control for iOS?

I just love the pivot control design in windows mobile. I would love to implement similar kind of design in my application, just like Skype app for iOS (PFA screenshot below). I did look up to check whether is there any libraries in github to do this. But I didn't find one. So please give me a head start on how can this be achieved. Thanks in advance.
I tried to use the UISegmentedControl and UIScrolllview together to get the look and feel of the Pivot control. But the solution I came up with was little clumsy and cranky and wasn't smooth at all.
But when I was browsing github again to find whether there is any existing solution for this I came across this library PageMenu. This is the closest solution I could find, using which you can get the look and feel of Pivot control. Take a look at the attached screenshot.
I had to do lot of look up to get this library, so I hope this may come in handy if someone who is looking for a similar kind of design. Hope this helps :)

Testing/Demoing UIMotionEffects in the simulator or on the device

I'm trying to build some educational content for iOS and would like to show how the new UIMotionEffect stuff works in practice. Currently there does not seem to be a way to do any UIMotionEffect stuff in the simulator, which makes sense. But even when trying to do Airplay or HDMI out means that UIMotionEffect's get turned off. As a last resort I can of course just capture the live screen of a device with another camera, but I'd still prefer to do something like the demo from WWDC, although I'm sure they were using some special setting or something. If anyone has any ideas and/or suggestions, that'd be great, thanks!
The only way I've been able to figure out how to do this is through the use of a capture card. The Blackmagic Thunderbolt Shuttle is finicky but when it works it works really well.
Better late than never...but I found this clever solution on GitHub by toco.

Just add the h. and m. files to your project. I've tested on AirServer on my Mac and it works great.

IP-Cam / CCTV-Cam Live Streaming on iPhone/iPad

I want to get stream of an ip-cam on my iPhone/iPad and want to display it on screen. By R&D i found that ffmpeg is the only way to achieve it but i found nothing on ffmpeg. Is there any other way to achieve it or a confirmed way to get compiled ffmpeg on mac please mention that. Material regarding how to use ffmepg or source code example will be highly appreciated.
Is there nothing built-in framework to achieve it if not then please mention if there is any free framework/sdk to achieve this functionality.
Thanks
There are actually a few.
here are some links

I am sure if you google you can find more.
I cannot only address the first one, because that is ours, but I didn't want this to sound purely like self promotion.

Particle effects in iOS

I've hired a developer to work on an iPhone & iPad application and as part of the application we would like to have a particle effect.
How do you implement particle effects by using CoreGraphics?
Please note that I've referred the developer to the following link, but he's told me it doesn't work well due to leaks:
http://www.clingmarks.com/generate-particles-along-a-path/822
If I may suggest this: http://www.raywenderlich.com/6063/uikit-particle-systems-in-ios-5-tutorial tutorial in an attempt to implement your particles, maybe you will have some better luck with it. I havent personally used it, but I've used tons of other tutorials from Ray's site, and all of them are fantastic.
Additionally, if you just want to debug your current implementation, this one seems to be up your alley: http://www.raywenderlich.com/2696/how-to-debug-memory-leaks-with-xcode-and-instruments-tutorial.
Hope that helps!
