Move, resize, and organize windows with Stage Manager on iPad
On supported models, you can use Stage Manager—a new way to multitask and get things done with ease. Resize windows to look the way you want, see multiple overlapping windows in a single view, tap to switch between apps, and more.
You can group apps for specific tasks or projects, and arrange, resize, and overlap them in your ideal layout.
If your iPad is connected to an external display, you can use Stage Manager to drag windows between iPad and your external display and arrange them to suit your needs.
Turn Stage Manager on or off
With your iPad in landscape orientation, open Control Center, then tap .
The window you’re working in is positioned prominently in the center of the screen, at a size that makes it easy to work with. All the other apps move left and form a list of recent apps along the left side of the screen.
Multitask with multiple windows
In Stage Manager, you can group apps together for specific tasks or projects, and keep them together as a group. You can reposition, resize, and overlap windows to suit your workflow.
-
To open an app and group it with the one you’re working in, do any of the following:
-
Tap at the top of a window, then choose Add Another Window. The current windows move aside to show all the other recent app windows. To add one, tap it.
-
Touch and hold an app in the Recent apps list, then drag it to the current window in the center of the screen.
-
Touch and hold an app in the Dock, then drag it up toward the center of the screen.
(If the Dock isn’t visible, swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen just far enough to reveal it.)
-
Tap the App Library icon (the rightmost icon in the Dock), touch and hold an app icon in the App Library, then drag it from the App Library to the center of the screen.
-
-
While working with multiple apps, do any of the following:
-
Resize any window: Drag from the corner marked with a dark curve, or, if you have a mouse or trackpad, drag from any corner or edge of the window.
-
Move a window to the Recent apps list: Tap at the top of the window, then choose Minimize.
-
Move a window: Drag from the top of the window.
-
Enlarge a window: Tap at the top of the window, then choose Enter Full Screen.
-
Tip: To get more screen space to work in (on supported models), go to Settings > Display & Brightness, tap Display Zoom, then select More Space. This option increases the pixel density so you can view more content in your apps, which is useful when working in multiple windows in Stage Manager or Split View.
Switch between apps
With Stage Manager, you can switch apps by tapping another app in the Recent apps list, or tapping an icon in the Dock.
When you switch to another app, the app or group you’ve been working in moves left to the Recent apps list and is replaced by the one you tapped.
You can also do any of the following to switch apps:
-
Swipe up from the bottom of the screen, then pause in the center of the screen to see the recent apps and groups.
-
Swipe left or right with one finger along the bottom edge of the screen. (On an iPad with a Home button, perform this gesture with a slight arc.)
-
Swipe left or right with four or five fingers.
See Switch between apps on iPad.
Hide or show the recent apps list
Do one of the following:
-
Open Control Center, touch and hold , then tap the checkmark on the left side of the image.
-
Go to Settings > Home Screen & Multitasking > Stage Manager, then tap the checkmark below Recent Apps to turn it off or on.
Close a window
Tap at the top of the window, then choose Close.
If the window is part of a group of apps, it disappears from the group.
Move an app to an external display
If your iPad (supported models) is connected to an external display, you can work across both screens—just drag apps and windows between the screens and arrange them in a way that works best for you.
To move apps between displays, do any of the following:

iPad Pro stuttering video using Lightning to HDMI adapter

I’m using a 12″ iPad Pro with the Apple Lightning to HDMI adapter and am unable to get smooth video playback.
I’ve tried the built-in video playback app (“TV”) as well as VLC and a couple others but so far none play the video on the TV smoothly. It stutters and jumps here and there, which is not acceptable to me. The same files play smoothly every time when displayed only on the iPad screen using a variety of apps.
I’ve checked that smooth motion or whatever abomination that messes with frame rates is disabled on the TV, so I don’t think it is the TV being stupid.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is there a video player app that works better for this than what I’ve tried?
Thanks,
Matt

What kind of TV? Perhaps it would run better on the tv if it was a HDMI 2.
0 adapter? Same issue on a different monitor?

The lightning port is incapable of doing direct hdmi so they have to reencode the stream and use a cheap soc in the adapter to decode that to hdmi. Needless to say it’s not an ideal situation and you’d probably be better off with airplay or the like where the original video is untainted.

I had no idea this dongle was such a complex little beast.
Too bad it doesn’t work better.
I did find a couple of things that seemed to have helped. It’s still not the flawless experience I was expecting but it’s going to have to do.
I purchased the app AVPlayerHD after testing out several. It seems to handle the playout to TV better than the others I tried. The interface also isn’t the worst thing ever, so I guess that’s a win.
I also re-encoded my video clips to use a lower bit rate and did some other knob-turning in the x264 codec settings (main profile instead of high, specify CBR, etc.).
As this is an iPad that is to be toted around for client meetings and presentations, the thinking was that an HDMI cable is usually more foolproof than AirPlay and it would be preferred to avoid the potential of crappy wifi ruining an AirPlay experience. Now, however, I’ll have to recommend that AirPlay be the first choice if at all possible and this adapter and HDMI cable as the inferior fallback. Ugh.

The Pro has a higher speed lightning port so could potentially output a higher fidelity video but afaik Apple hasn’t done anything about it as none of the rest of the lineup supports it and the focus is on wireless.
If your meeting rooms have tv’s that support airplay or casting via android tv or whatever then that’s probably the way to go as it doesn’t require the presenter or iPad to be tied to the screen.

Or use a laptop and not be tied to the iPad’s limitations. Even a base-model refurb 11″ MacBookAir would give you less grief.

Troubleshooting digital video is such a black art, I swear.
Did you ever try switching encoders? I worked with digital signage software for a while a couple years ago, and no matter what I did, I could not get smooth video playback consistently across devices – files that were fine here, were stuttery elsewhere.
It was maddening. I switched to Apple Compressor, and that solved everything, even using identical encode parameters.
You may find as you go out in the world that many IT departments disable (or never enable) UDP on their wi-fi routers, which disallows the use of AirPlay. I can’t use AirPlay at my office for this reason. And many times I have tried using AirPlay out in the world and it’s been a very mixed bag. For me it’s been a total PITA and I avoid using it if I can. Just my anecdotal experience, fwiw.
Could you cache your videos on an AppleTV or something, and use that? At least you’d get to fill the entire screen. And it’s cheap and portable. Besides, if you’re using AirPlay, you still need to plug *something* into the TV that is receiving the signal from the iPad or iPhone.

9002 7 Connecting an iPad to TV via VGA
iPad – compact computer with access to the Internet developed by Apple. A portable tablet is taken on vacation, various events.
Gigabytes of gadget memory store photos and videos that you want to view on a large diagonal, but not everyone knows how to connect an iPad to a TV.
How to connect iPad to TV
Watching online movies or on-screen presentations with friends is another reason to connect iPad to TV. Music and video from gadgets to the TV screen are transmitted according to the same principle, but Apple used non-standard connectors in the device. Its proprietary networking methods make it difficult for users to watch their favorite clips or movies on TV.
iPad connected to TV
The apple product does not have the usual European USB and HDMI outputs. Instead, older versions (1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations) have 30-pin connectors, and newer tablets (iPad 4, Air, and mini) have 8-pin Lightning ports. On new TVs of all companies, HDMI, VGA and RCA inputs are used. Therefore, for iPads, depending on the generation, 8- or 30-pin AV adapters are needed for these connectors.
VGA and RCA are connected to old type TV receivers, they transmit only low quality analog signals. Unlike them, a digital HDMI cable transmits multi-channel audio and video in Full HD format.
Connecting iPad to a TV via USB
The small screen of the tablet does not allow you to fully enjoy watching movies and videos, so the devices are connected with a USB cable. You can connect all Apple tablets in this way, except for the iPad 2, since it is impossible to transfer files between it and the TV. It requires a USB cable, which comes as standard.
How to connect Android to a TV – detailed instructions
The connection is simple: one end of the cord is inserted into the iPad, the other into a special USB connector on the TV receiver. A message will be displayed on the screen, after a few seconds the devices will be synchronized, the file manager will start. The desired file is selected with the remote control.
Important! If an incorrect connection has occurred, the connection will fail.
Then you need to specify the USB signal source on the TV.
HDMI cable
Connecting iPad to TV via HDMI
How to connect your phone to LG TV via Wi-Fi
This method of synchronizing devices using a wire is used by most device owners. iPad video content is duplicated on the TV display without special settings and additional utilities (auxiliary programs).
Mirroring requires an AV adapter (Digital by Apple) and an HDMI cable. AV adapter – a proprietary adapter from HDMI to port. It can be a 30-pin or Lightning plug. It is worth buying only branded adapters, Chinese counterparts often do not synchronize with the iOS iPad operating system.
How to connect:
- Insert the AV adapter into the iPad connector.
- Its other free port and the HDMI connector of the TV are connected with a standard HDMI-to-HDMI cable.
- Turn on the TV by selecting the “Source” button on the remote control and select the number of the active HDMI channel in the menu.
When the settings are completed, the TV will automatically mirror the iPad screen. This mode supports iPad 2 and later versions.
What’s good about this connection:
- easy to set up;
- channel is protected from interference because a minimum of additional equipment is used.
What’s wrong – a cable connection ties the gadget and its owner to one place.
Connecting an iPad to a TV via VGA
How to connect Wi-Fi to a Samsung TV: step-by-step instructions
Another way is the VGA interface. The tablet display image will be displayed on the TV screen, but there will be no sound. The VGA interface does not support audio codecs, so the sound must be output via another channel, for example, through headphones.
Connection order:
- Connect the yellow, red and white cables to the corresponding inputs on the TV.
- The other end of the wire is connected to the VGA adapter.
- Then the whole structure is connected through a Lightning (or 30-pin) adapter to the gadget.
- Insert the charging cable into the free adapter port.
- Sound is output to external speakers via a 3.5 mm MiniJack (mini jack – headphone jack).
The method is cumbersome, since 3 wires are connected to the tablet at once. But this option allows you to connect the iPad to old TVs.
WiFi Router
Connect iPad to TV via Wi-Fi network
Photos and videos on the big screen of Smart TV are displayed wirelessly via Wi-Fi connection. Here you can not do without a special application. It is downloaded to the tablet for free. It could be iMediaShare. But the TV receiver must support advanced DLNA or AllShare technologies. For the latest TV-devices, this is not a problem.
How to connect an iPad to a TV without wires:
- Buy a router, connect the TV to the Wi-Fi network through it (it is assumed that the devices have one subnet).
- Start the application, select the file to be played. A menu of available devices appears, you need to select and click on the name of your TV.
- The start of mirroring is confirmed with the TV remote control.
To display online content from an iPad on Smart TV, download the Flipps helper program. The application has a built-in browser, transmits web pages over the air. The first launch of the utility synchronizes devices connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Then you can find everything you want to watch on the Internet.
How to watch TV on your iPad via Chromecast or Mirror
A Chromecast is a small device that looks like a flash drive. It plays audio and video clips.
How to mirror iPad display to TV via Chromecast:
- Connect the device to a TV device, turn on the TV, switch to the corresponding channel.
- Preload the Chromecast app from the App Store. Devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
- Open an app that immediately detects and connects to the iPad.
- Click the Chromecast icon, project the tablet screen onto the TV.
Mirror operates on the principle of a Wi-Fi router. Works with iOS 11 software. iPad and Smart TV connect to the same Wi-Fi network.
Next:
- Download (paid) and install Mirror for LG TV from the App Store.
- Open the utility.
- The name of the TV receiver appears in the list, click on it.
- The remote control allows the device to connect, the application icon is added to the tablet.
