Lightning to 30-pin adaptor not compatible w 30-pin digital AV adapter?!

We purchased the two subject adapters, along with an HDMI to HDMI cable for a friend with a new iPad.
When we connected it to view pictures on our tv, we got that hideous message about not being compatible with iPad.
The 'genius' at the Apple store said it would work. I guess they were wrong. Very aggravating.

Have you gone back and explained to them the error of their ways?
I would include the manager of the Apple Store in that conversation.
You might ask the genius to purchase the cable that he suggest back from you. To me that sounds like a fair deal.

Can iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor

Can the iPod touch 5g connect to an audio amplifier via lightning to 30 pin adaptor and through a 30 pin to RCA cable adaptor? It works on the latest iPod nano but it doesn't on iPhone 6. I have spoken to the apple reseller sales personnel but he has no clue.

If it works on the 7G Nano and does not on the iPhone 6 I would not expect it to work on the 5G iPod..
Just what adopter are you talking about? Can you provide a link?

Which apps for iPod touch 4g are compatible with the Apple Digital AV Adapter?

I've got an iPod touch 4g 32 GB, iOS 5.0.1, and I want to buy an Apple Digital AV adapter, especially for my apps. But I have read that not all apps are compatible with this screen synchronisation, so I'm not sure that it is worth it.
Here are all my apps, and I'm asking you to give me feedback if they are compatible or not.
1. Real Racing 2
2. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
3. AVATAR
4. Spore Origins
5. Spore Creatures
6. Angry Birds
7. Fruit Ninja
8. Modern Combat 3
9. Modern Combat 2
10. N.O.V.A. 2
11. Dead Space
12. BFBC2
13. Plants vs. Zombies
14. Brothers in Arms 2
15. Prince of Persia: WW
16. Infinity Blade
17. Infinity Blade 2
18. Gangstar: MV
19. Galaxy on Fire 2
20. Six-Guns
21. Osmos
So if you really know which are compatible, I'd be grateful for a feedback.
Thank you all!

Thank you for answering, but sadly, I wasn't able to find these informations in the app descriptions. Just Real Racing 2 and MC3 had informations about supporting TV out.
Do you know where to find them?

'09 mini not compatible with mini-DVi to video adapter?

I hooked up my new '09 mini to my AV receiver via Apple's mini-DVI to video adapter but got no picture. My previous mini ('06 model) worked fine w/ the DVI to video adapter. I'm thinking the mini-DVI port on the new mini doesn't pass analog signals anymore, i.e., it's now DVI-D vs previously being DVI-I.
Anyone else have this experience w/ the '09 models? I know it works with the older models. I'm just trying to figure out if I have a defective adapter or if the '09 mini's DVI just doesn't pass analog. I noticed the supplied mini-DVI to DVI cable is DVI-D, so maybe that is a hint.

I doubt that'd work. Usually these adapters work by connecting "legacy" wires on the newer connectors to an older interface. The mac actually produces all the appropriate signals, and the adapter just hooks the wires together appropriately.
It sounds like the only analog signals the mac is producing are Red-Green-Blue signals, like you'd use for VGA or component video. It's not producing a composite video signal. So if you convert mini-DVI to VGA, the composite line is going to be dead on both.
The only kind of adapter that could help you would be one with some amount of circuitry that actually pastes the Red-Green-Blue signal into a composite signal. Something like:

I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "

I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
Help!

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

Does the lightning to 30 pin adaptor work in speaker docks?

My old 3rd Generation iPod stopped working (the round scrolling dial won't work), so I bought a new 7th generation iPod last week. I realized I couldn't play it on my fairly low-end Memorex speaker dock, so I got one of those $30 lightning-to-30-pin adaptors. The new iPod charges, but it won't play music in my speakers. Is this a problem with my particular adaptor, or do those not work to play music? I am hoping there is some kind of setting adjustment I can make... Thanks!

There are reports that 30-pin adapter does not work in all types of speaker docks. If it should, there should not have any trouble interfacing it with the ipod. If you are planning to get a new dock, check with the store first if it is compatible before you purchase it. Cheers!

Updated to Firefox 8 and now lost my calender in Lightning because it's not compatible. What can I do, and where's my old calender information?

Upgraded to Firefox 8 and now I've lost my Lightning calender that I used in Thunderbird because it's not compatible with 8. What can I use now and where is my old calender information?

Hi Brian,
You should look at [https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+has+just+updated+tab+shows+each+time+you+start+Firefox this article about that specific issue] and the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. These should give you all the information you need!
If that doesn't work:
# Type about:config in the address bar
# Click ''I'll be careful, I promise'' if prompted
# In the Filter input field type ''startup''
# Double click on startup.homepage_override_url
# Delete the text string and click ''OK''
# Close Firefox and reopen the window to verify that it has worked.
Hopefully this helps!

Lightning to 30 pin connector not charging my nano from my dock

Is it just me, or does the Apple Lightning to 30 pin connector not pass charge correctly?
I bought a new iPod Nano a few weeks ago, not realising I would be getting one of the new Lightning connector ones, so when I ordered my iPad from Apple I also bought a Lightning to 30 pin connector so that I can properly use my JBL dock (which is quite old, bought it with my old 5th Gen iPod). Although it's great that it connects and allows me to control the iPod with the remote control and is a **** of a lot neater than dangling it by a cable from the headphone jack to the RCA input on the dock, I'm getting really frustrated by the fact that I'm not getting any charge being passed through to the iPod from the dock. This was one of the best things about having a dock, not only could I play my music with a good quality sound from the speakers, I could also play it all day long without worrying about the battery consumption as it was being charged at the same time. Now, if I've been using the iPod at the gym through the week, I find that I'm having to take the iPod off the dock and charge via a wall charger or my laptop - the latter allowing me to rever to the old way of hooking the iPod to the dock via headphone jack. It's really annoying that I've spent so much money on something that doesn't do everything I'd expected of it. I'm wondering if it's faulty or if it's the age of the dock - which I haven't used with an iPod for about 5 years!
Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

"Lightning could not be installed because it is not compatible with firefox 26.0" is the message I get when I try to install the latest 2.6.4 version of lightning. I also tried the later beta test version with the same results. I am running Windows XP 32 bit with all the latest updates.

Clean any debris from the adapter, docking station connector and the connector on the Nano.

Lightning to 30 pin adaptor giving no sound when connected to docking station

lightning to 30 pin adaptor giving no sound when connected to docking station

I am always amazed in these forums by the number of people who think they are helping by asking obvious questions about the problem with no clue what the real issue is or how to help.
That being said:
I had the same problem after upgrading.
Could boot your tablet, should fix the problem.
1. power off the unit.
2. Power on by holding the power button and volume up button at the same time.
3. using the volume up and down button as a right and left curser, selectt the Android icon and press the power button.
4. this will cold boot the system and the various dock functions should return.
Warning: Selecting anything else but the android icon will reset the device to factory defaults and wipeout all your info.

IPhone 5C wont play on dock with 30 pin adaptor

I have just upgraded to an iPhone 5C. I recently bought myself a clock radio which is iPod/iPhone compatible with 30 pin. Now that I have a 5C, I have bought an adaptor but my music will not play through the dock. Can anyone help me with this? I set the dock to i for iPod/iPhone - the old phone 4S worked fine and played through the dock.

Is the adapter a genuine Apple device or a cheap copy

Ipod touch 5th gen suddenly not compatible with volvo s60 through usb

My 5th gen ipod touch is suddenly not working in 2013 Volvo s60. When I plugged it in via usb this afternoon (as usual), message came up on screen saying ipod was not compatible with this accessory. I've already tried resetting it by pushing home and power button at same time but it didn't work this time. Worked fine until today. Any thoughts?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Try another cable if it is a Lightning to USB cable
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
