IPt + Apple Composite VA Cable = Music through TV speakers?

I bought a new iPod touch over the weekend, and I plunked down the $49 for Apple's Composite AV cable, as well. I've been real happy with it so far, and the video quality is great -- at least, it looks great on my 10-year old Samsung LDTV (lo-def TV).
It seems like I should be able to play music on the touch, tho', with the AV cable connected and have audio out through the TV speakers. Am I wrong? Am I missing something? I mean, I've been known to miss some obvious things ...

Ditto. I have the component cable. Video and Photo slideshow works. None of the music will port to my tv speakers, only with a slideshow will it work on the tv speakers. there should be a way to do this. I assume that this feature is not available with the Touch.

HT1454 Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play

Can't see ipod videos from 60GB ipod classic. I have Apple USB/video cable running through Onkyo receiver into Samsung TV. Video & TV out settings seem correct-I can see album cover, but no video. Is it possible to get itunes music videos to play or do I need to get new ipod. It works on my iPad and iPhone, but not through iPod Classic.

Are these music videos located under Videos on your iPod? Do it play other regular movies (if you have any on the device)?

Apple Composite AV Cable: Full Screen from iPod to TV?

I'm looking at buying the Apple Composite AV Cable for my iPod Classic 120. I didn't want to purchase it before I knew if it would do what I want it to do.
Will it play TV shows, Videos, etc... full screen on my TV when plugged in?
Also, if I were to plug it into a 3rd party (Dynex) iPod dock, and plug the Apple Composite AV Cable into the 30pin port in back of the dock, would it still play on my TV?
And thirdly, with the above scenario in use, if I were to plug the USB end of the AV Cable into my computer, would it still play on my TV?
Any and all help would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

Your first question is yes. If you set the ipod to "fit to screen" then it will, as long as when you convert the file, the aspect ratio is set to the ipod screen size(320×240 pixels). If the software has that option.
I'm not sure about the connection for the dock you want to use, but with the 6th gen ipods a lot of 3rd party docks will not allow you to view video's through them because of something written into the ipod software. The one you want to use does not support the Classic. The only one I found was Apples own. But you can not use the menu button on the remote, so you can not change between films (unless in a play list) or change between films, music, photos or any other function of the ipod with out manually doing it yourself. The menu button is only to be used with Apple TV.
No to your third question. Your ipod is connected to the computer and even if you play the file from the pod in itunes, it will only show up on your monitor

I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable. No success. Any thoughts?

I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv (sony bravia 1080p) and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable with the 30 pin connector on one end and three RCA connectors on the other. Audio works but video does not. The ipod classic screen says to connect to device when it is already connected. No success. Any thoughts?

Hello, anabelleho.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
Please help me.

Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

IDevices and Apple composite AV Cable - Not Working

Hi...
I've had problems connecting my iPods (iPod 30GB Video 5.5Gen, iPod Touch 1st and 2nd Gen, with latest capable software up to date) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 6 up to date) to my Samsung LED TV Series 5 using the original, Apple, composite AV cable. Everything is plug in, the way it should be, according to the manual. Devices charge and the Settings menu even displays the TV Settings... It shoud work right?
No... No audio (tried to play some music), no photo, no video (no images, no audio), nothing...
The composite AV cable is fine and works on a crappy 15 to 20 year old CRT TV (mp3, video and photo).
I've adjusted every TV-Out setting there is, on both LED TV and iDevices with no result...
Don´t know waht else to do... Need help, plz... Any suggestions????
Thanks

I'm confused. You mean that you're expecting to charge your iPhone by connecting it to the TV with a Composite AV cable? That's not going to work; a composite video cable doesn't supply power to the power input pins on your iPhone's dock connector.
Plugging the iPhone to the USB wall socket directly using my regular cable gives the same error so I guess it is the voltage?
Amperage, most likely. There quite likely is insufficient power from that USB port to charge the iPhone (something not infrequent with computer USB ports, and we know nothing about what that USB port is hooked up to.
BTW, to me it would be very risk to plug an iPhone into some USB port about which you know little or nothing. I'd suggest you just use the charger included with the iPhone.
Regards.

I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?

Confirm Apple Composite Video Cables Work

Before I shell out the $50 for the Apple Composite Video cable set I want to confirm that they will actually work to send video, TVshows, Movies from my 3rd Generation 8Ghz Nano Ipod to a TV through the composite (three plug) video plugs. Do they really work?

Yes - it works very well

Your av composite cable isnt compatible with the ipod touch 4G, i assure you that. It will work on older devices like what you have said... But ipod touch 4G is completely a high tech device in present generation. Apple cables/cables are compatible specifically to a device. Try to buy cables conpatible with iphone 4 above and i assure you it will perfectly work with an ipod touch 4G. Iphone 3gs model is inferior to 4th generation models. So maybe the cable cant function properly on higher models because its firmware, specs., etc. is more advanced.

Apple Composite AV cables with the universal dock

Hi,
I have a classic iPod 80gb w/video (i think it's 5th generation)
I recently purchased the Apple composite AV cables to listen to my ipod via the RCA inputs on my stereo's receiver. This works well.
It also has a USB cable attached so I can charge the ipod while I listen to music.
I wanted to purchase the universal dock so I can replace my old CD changer and have a nice looking iPod sitting in a nice dock where the cd changer used to be. Plus the remote would come in handy.
Since my composite cables play music and charge I figured I'd just plug the 30-pin adapter into the back of the dock and pop my ipod into the dock (i realize I'll probably need a dock apadter for my classic ipod) and i'd be able to play music and charge the ipod.
I spoke with an Apple salesmen who says that this woun't work, I need to buy a headphone (3.5 mm) to RCA adapter cable for the audio and the USB 30pin plug is only for charging.
But right now, without the dock it does both, so does anyone know if this sales person is correct? They had to do a lot of research so I know he didn't know first-hand.
Has anyone tried this?
I'd hate to have to buy a 3.5 mm to rca cord and then not use the 39 cables I just purchased.
Thanks so much for any help.

Your 3 rca connector comes with video (yellow) and audio (red and white) and the other one is usb which you can use for charging if you plug the charger on it. no need to plug 3.5mm mono jack.

Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

Apple Composite AV cable doesn't work with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3)

Hello,
Just purchased composite AV cable from apple store but it doesn't play videos on TV but audios only,
Is it firmware or my cable prlbme?

I used the original Apple composite AV cable with my iPhone 3G (OS 3.1.3) for a while and it worked fine for video playback in the iPod app. But after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4 the cable stopped working. Video on my TV remains black and is shown on the iPhone's screen instead of the TV, and sometimes the iPhone tells me that this accessory is not designed to work with this iPhone. What did Apple do? Is there anyone who can confirm this change in behavior? Apple still recommends this cable in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=en_US

TS1409 What if I don't have the Apple Component AV Cable or Apple Composite AV Cable to connect my iPod to? Do I have to buy one to watch videos on my iPod?

What if I don't have the Apple Component AV Cable or Apple Composite AV Cable to connect my iPod to? Do I have to buy one to watch videos on my iPod?

I am assuming you have an ipod nano 6th gen (the small one with a touch screen)
unfortunately, the ipod nano 6 gen can not play videos whatsoever unless you hack it so even with a cable it does not work.
I hope this helps cus im new
(if other generation ipod nano, just reply and i will help again )

HT5517 Can my Apple TV 3 play music through an AirPlay speaker while I mirror my iPhone to the Apple TV?

Can my Apple TV 3 play music through an AirPlay speaker while I mirror my iPhone to the Apple TV?

bluetooth only support bluetooth keyboards on the appletv
Wireless
Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
Bluetooth support for Apple Wireless Keyboard (requires Apple TV software version 5.2 or later)
http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
if you can find a device which take in optical audio from the Apple TV and make it bluetooth to the bluetooth speaker then suppose it would work
but since it would need to be configured it would need controls or a webserver like a router has so very expensive

Displaying video using "Apple Composite AV Cable" to an in car DVD player

Has anyone had any success or knows of any in car dvds/screens that will enable you to display video from an iPhone/Touch. Im assuming we would need to use something similar to Apples "Apple Composite AV Cable". To be honest I really only want to show videos from my iPhone/touch... if the screens didn't have dvds I really would care..
Thx

Your best bet would be to find a car head unit with either a composite or component input. From there you would just use the appropriate cable from the Apple Store.
