IPhone component AV out cable problems..

Hello!
I recently bought an Apple component AV out cable and was very excited when it came this morning. Upon opening it I realized that the TV out had 3 different connectors (green, red & blue) and my TV only has 1 which is yellow!
Is there any way to make this work? Or should I just give up and return it?

Welcome to the forums.
Component inputs are three connectors -- they comprise the red, green and blue "guns" of the output. What you are seeing on your TV is composite input. You either need to purchase the composite video cable (which is the same price) or a converter from a third party (which will cost more or about the same as the cable).
You can look around the back of your TV to see if you might have component inputs elsewhere -- nearly all modern TVs (about the last two or three years) have component inputs, particularly if they are larger than 24" or so.

  • IPhone 4, TV out cable, bumper

    iPhone 4, TV out cable, bumper. Any one know of an option to connect the TV out cable to my iPhone 4 (with bumper) without taking the bumper off ???

    Likely not. I have the Composite Connection set from Apple and the housing around the 30 pin connector is substantially larger than the one on the supplied usb cable.

  • Iphone via TV out cables component av cable - docking station

    I bought the mac component AV cables to hook up my iphone to my entertainment center. I had the docking station included with the iphone so i hooked it up to the cables I bought. I changed the setting in the iphone to output to the TV. I set the iphone in the docking station and it just played through the iphone. After some experimenting I found out it was the docking station that prevented me from hearing it through my entertainment center. I just hook the iphone directly to the cables I bought from MAC and it works fine. I would like to use the docking station though.
    Any ideas or is a MAC issue?
    thanks

    I wouldn't be surprised if you had to purchase a universal dock to get audio working through it. Not worth it in my opinion, especially since the cable already works for you.

  • Iphone 4s TV out cable Crashing, HELP

    I have an iPhone 4S and am using an AV adapter with HDMI to connect to my TV.  It plays short youtube videos fine, but anything long (1 hour workout videos) it goes black and crashes to desktop after 20-30 seconds.  Any ideas?
    I have tried streaming from Safari and Google Chrome, but they both time out with long videos.  Not sure what's going on.  I was able to play a four minute video off YouTube without problem.

  • Iphone 4 component cable problem!

    I recently purchased the iphone component cable (white box) to watch videos through my samsung LCD TV.  All cables are connected correctly, however, nothing is working.  I get no video or audio.
    When i play a video, the iphone displays:
    "TV Connected
    The Video is playing on the TV"
    However, i have selected the component source on my Samsung TV and nothing is showing other than "no Signal".  I have selected the correct region for the UK on the iphone settings under Settings >Ipod > Tv out , (which i beleive is PAL for uk).
    Can anyone suggest an answer.
    Many thanks

    did you choose component as the input source?
    to view component input on my sony tv (and every other tv really)
    I have to change the input source to be component rather then tv or hdmi or....

  • My iPhone 4 is no longer recognised by my laptop, and no longer registers being plugged in to charge, even though it will charge slowly if plugged in and turned off. It's not a cable problem or a computer problem, as I've checked these.

    Hey, over the past couple of days my iPhone 4 (GMS, Model A1332, EMC 380B - running on iOS 7.1.2) has begun inexplicably intermittently not recognizing being plugged in to charge or being connected to my laptop. As of today, it has complete stopped recognizing being plugged in to charge or connected to the laptop.
    If I plug it in to charge, whilst it is on, nothing happens and the battery drains.
    If I plug it in to charge and turn in off, it will charge very very slowly - though it will charge fully after a long time.
    When I connect it to my laptop, nothing happens - it doesn't appear in iTunes, and it doesn't charge or recognize being connected to the laptop (there is no charging symbol, no noise from either phone or computer registering the connection as it usual did, or another sign of any connection between the devices, though, again, it will charge very slowly if turned off).
    I've ruled out the possibility of it being a cable problem, by using a friend's cable and finding that didn't allow it to recognize being plugged into the wall to be charged either, or being plugged into the computer.
    My friend's cable does work on their own iPhone (ie, when plugged into the wall with their cable, their iPhone acknowledges this and charges properly, and when plugged into my computer with their cable both my computer and their iPhone recognize the connection).
    So, it's definitely a problem with my iPhone itself, but I don't know what.
    As I say, it will charge very slowly, if it's switched off whilst it's plugged in, but it won't acknowledge being plugged in, and will only drain if it is turned on whilst being plugged in - and it will not recognize being connect to my computer.
    Please help me figure out what is wrong with it, as this is beyond annoying and I'm literally banging my head against the wall - the iPhone is little over a year old.
    Cheers.

    You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
    This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they  therefore respond
    So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
    try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

    hi - i have recently upgraded to an iphone and find that when i open my MS Outlook on my computer, the emails that were on the iphone get wiped out. Has anyone got a solution to this problem? I'm sure it's very simple when you know the answer! Thanks.

    Pay no attention to iinami, the amount of replies to people saying their handsets must have been jailbroken everytime iTunes throws out an error is tremendous. (Clearly you don't need to have any real knowledge to get to level 3 on these forums, let's hope apple's geniuses know a lot more than some of their customers.)

    Solution below.
    Error 9
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

    In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you also worked through the following document?
    iTunes for Windows: "Unable to load data class" or "Unable to load provider data" sync services alert

  • Does iPhone do Video Out via video cables?

    I can't find any reference to this in the iPhone user guide, so I'm guessing it can't, but I thought I'd ask here.
    Can iPhone send video out to an external TV using the iPod Video Connection Cable?

    This might help.

  • Which cable for 8800GT Component TV-Out?

    Hi all,
    I just wondered what kind of cable you require to utilize the Component TV Out plugs of the connector shipped with the card. I know you have to use a Male / Male plug for the S-Video, but I can't find the Component equivalent. What would that be called?
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you referring to this cable? :
    If so it's an S-video to HDTV cable.

  • Qosmio G10 - Component Out Cables

    I'm trying to connect the G10 to a High Def DLP using 1080i, and wasnt aware until the unit arrived that the cabling for the D-video out is using a SCART connection as opposed to 3 RCA's as per the North American model and info.
    Does anyone know how i can convert the SCART to RCA (by providing the SCART pin-outs?) or how I can get the US cabling Tosh Part "Component Video Adaptor Cable (for Component Out on D-Video Out Port) (GDM900000510)"?

    Hi
    To convert the SCART to RCA you can use SCART Adapter (In/Out) to 3 RCA (Phono) Audio Video & S-Video. Google a little bit and I am sure that you can find the best solution.
    Otherwise you can get best information in some electronic store. There you can get suitable technical advice.

  • Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone doesn't just play music?

    I just purchased Dynex Component Audio/Video cable for iPhone and it plays video, but not music. It only works when I'm using Neflix or the video component of the iPod. How do I get it to just play my music?
    If I run the iPod music and open Netflix the music will play, but that is just a roundabout way of getting it to play audio and is silly. How do I get it to just play audio?

    don't think so but the component rely on normal analog signals using RCA connectors
    you can find tons of 3.5mm minijack connector and 2 rca connectors in the other cables
    they are dirt cheap and you can even make them yourself
