Anyone try the Apple Component AV Cable with their iPhone?

I just found this page http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=CC6 E891B&nplm=MB128LL/A and wonder if it works well on TVs or monitors?
Thanks~

Hey new smyrna,
You can also change TV Out settings from Settings>iPod> under TV out.
The settings are described on page 80 of the iPod touch Features Guide.

What apps will work with the Apple Component Video cables ?????

I plan to order the Apple Component Video cables so I can watch the Netflix apps movies on my TV.
I know this app works with the cables but what else does?
The few apps I know of are:
Netflix
YouTube
included video app
but what else ?

Thanks. I did order it and it arrived yesterday. I have not done a lot but watched a couple things
with the Netflix app and I am very pleased.
The cable is only about 6 feet so I had to extend it but other than that I am pleased. Luckily, I already
had a 10' cable in the basement with connectors so now I can have my iPad where it usually is and
control things more easily.
A few more apps that work with it would be nice though. :>

Does the iPod Universal Dock work with the Apple Component AV Cable?

I have the iPod Universal Dock (MA045G/A) and the Apple Component AV Cable (MB128LL/B)...the ones in the original black packaging.
I had wanted to connect either my Nano 3G or my iTouch 1G to my TV, but neither would work through the docking station with the AV cable. Both did work when I tried not using the dock and connected both the Nano and the iTouch directly into the AV Cable.
My dock works great on my Computer, and I tried a second dock (same model) that I had into the TV with the AV cable and it still did not see the connection.
Is my particular iPod Universal Dock NOT COMPATIBLE with this Apple Component AV Cable (or for that matter, the Composite AV Cable-MB129LL/B)?
It's not a big deal since both do work with the AV cable by itself...it's just annoying I can't use the dock...

Are you sure it is genuine Apple cable? If you bought it on eBay or non-authorized Apple dealer it probably isn't. If it is a genuine cable, it is defective, and should be returned.
When a working genuine Apple A/V cable is plugged into iPhone, a popup appears asking if you want to enable the TV output. Since you are not getting this popup, your cable is bad.

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?

Hi there,
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 )

Is there any way to extend the length of the Apple component AV cable for the original iPad?

I have an original iPad, but the component video cable is too short to really do any good. Can it somehow be extended. It would really be useful if there was an adapter for the 30-pin connector that goes into the iPad itself so that one wire could extend the AV cable another 10-15 feet. I know of no such adapter. Is there one out there?
My goal is to stream YouTube videos from my iPad to my Samsung HDTV. I guess I could buy an Apple TV and do it wirelessly through my Airport Expresses.
Anyway, I would appreciate some advice from anybody who has tried to accomplish the same or similar things.

Have you been able to get this cable to work on your iPad? I just went out and bought this cable so I could stream YouTube, Netflix and my other video on my iPad and the component cable wasn't working. I went back to my Apple store and replaced it with the composite video cable and everything works fine. I do not think that the component cable works with the original iPad because its output is not HD. Anyhow, you should be able to buy extender type cables at any Radio Shack, or any audio/video retailer. Look in the cables section. keep in mind you'll need both Audio cable and component video cable extended cables to increase the distance you are using these at. Keep in mind, also, that the iPad is basically useless while playing video. You can't multitask while watching the video because,depending on what apps you have that do video mirroring, you'll end up leaving the video and whatever app you're working in will show up on your TV screen. When I watch video I just leave my iPad close by the TV and walk up to it to play or pause video. Can't use it for anything else while the movie is playing, anyway. ;)

I got bad advice at the Apple store - ended up with an iPhone 6 I can't use properly. What now?

Hey folks,
I'm hoping I have some options that I can leverage.
The story goes like this:
- I went to the Apple Store in Palo Alto as I was visiting
- I wanted to purchase the iPhone 6 with the intent of using it in Australia
- I spoke with the staff and they told me that I should purchase the device full price and they pointed me to a model on their product list as well that would work far east / Australia
- I proceeded to make the iPhone 6 purchase at full price
- When I reached back in Australia, to my dismay, it turned out that the phone refused to support 4G LTE because of incompatible frequencies. I was told by folks locally that the model I was told to purchase was the wrong one for the market (A1549) !!
Two questions:
- Aren't the Apple store folks supposed to know the difference between the models particularly as I'd specifically requested for it?
- Is there absolutely any recourse for me (now that the phone and I are both in Australia) ?
Thanks!

There is no guarantee that any US iPhone will get 4G/LTE in any other country but it should work on 3G. You also have no warranty with that phone. The only unlocked iPhone currently sold at the Apple Store is the T-Mobile model although the Verizon model is also unlocked.
To get a model for the Australian market that works on 4G/LTE you should purchase the model A1549 in Australia. If you purchased your iPhone from the US in the past 30 days you can return to the states and return it.

Anyone tried the m-audio keystation 61es with their intel imac?

I was thinking of getting one for garageband and was wondering if it would work, Thanks

I have an m-audio keystation pro 88 connected & it works fine, as does my emi 6|2m interface. I can't say as I've stressed it much wrt faders, knobs & switches, but the keys play and sound comes out the other end.

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?

IPhone 3G / Apple Component AV Cable / iTunes DRM Movies

Hello.
Can't seem to find a definite answer to this online. Would appreciate any assistance.
I purchase movies from iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Which then syncs them to my iPhone 3G. I would like to watch them on my HDTV without purchasing an Apple TV.
I have been looking at getting the Apple Component AV Cable accessory, to connect my iPhone 3G directly to the HDTV.
Will this solution allow me to watch my iTunes movie purchases ( DRM Protected ) ?

Awesome thanks! All my movies are SD, don't think you can buy HD Movies without an Apple TV?

TS1398 Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues with their iPhone 5 after accepting the latest IOS 8.0.2?

Has anyone had WiFi connectivity issues at home with their iPhone 5 after accepting the recent IOS 8.0.2 update?

Yes, despite being it an iPhone5 (8.0.2) attempting to connect to an Airport Express.
In my case the iPhone "connects" to Airport Express 2nd generation, but no Internet packages are available; Airport Utility shows the Airport Express as not connected to the Internet; but the iMac, MBP, Motorola phone, Samsung Smart TV and HP printer connect without any trouble.
The actual issue is the DHCP :
sometimes the iPhone gets none, and
when an address is assigned it just doesn't work,
even renewing the address won't work all the times,
switching off and on the WiFi won't work all the times neither,
going on Airplane mode, then back won't work all the times.
Solutions attempted and failed:
Reseting and reconfiguring Airport Express;
Reseting iPhone;
Switching off and on the iPhone;
Setup the DHCP renewal for every 5 days;
Meditation and stark visualisation;
Other possible patch not yet attempted : setting fixed IP addresses
All suggestions received resemble Windows' "Plug & Pray"
I gave up after reading several notes around the WWW complaining about it.
Last credible suggestion : wait for 8.0.3 or 8.1, whichever fixes the issue first.

Why won't the Apple Composite AV Cable work with ipad2?

I got the Apple Composite AV Cable for our iPad2 but it does not seem to work. The cable does not work with either our iPad2 or the iPod Touch 2G. Ironically, the cord *does* work with our ancient iPod 80GB Classic.
The iPad does not show settings for PAL or NTSC or any other settings I could possibly change to try and get the video out to work. What am I missing?
IPod Touch is set for NTSC and Widescreen has been tried both off and on with no video shown on the TV.
The videos do still show on the iPod/iPad screens while playing.

Apparently the answer is no? I guess for me this is the #1 reason to not buy an iPhone 5. I switched to the iPhone specifically for the component (RCA) cable with charging capabilities for my car audio / nav needs. Android did not have a good solution and Apple did. I am sure there are a hand full of folks who bought the Pioneer App radio who are stuck as well. Apple needs to make an airplay to component adapter or a cable for the iPhone 5. Newsflash I am not switching my head unit out for a new phone. Don’t get me wrong I love air play and own an apple TV but hotel rooms, cars, boats and points of usage not going to have air play in all instances. Even if a cable comes out the “digital” port seems telling that component is going away. Time will tell.

Does the Apple Composite AV Cable work with Sky Sports TV App?

I have 'The new iPad' and was wondering if I bought the Apple cable that links your iPad to your television if it would be able to stream content from the Sky Sports TV app? The content is similar to that of ITV Player BBC iPlayer apps ect

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.

Would the Apple Universal Dock work with any cables?

Does anybody know if the Apple Universal Dock works with any A/V composite cables for video out from the iPhone or the Nano 3rd gen., or do I have to buy the Apple $50 cables too?

I have a U2 iPod, and I can connect it to the TV with regular composite (RCA) splitter cables getting video and audio out.... I tried and now I know that I can't use the same cables to get video out of the iPhone or the 3 gen Nano, but I thought that using the Apple Universal Dock I could. So you are saying that even using the Dock I need the 30 pin to get video out?

It or an update has gone wrong - you need to restore via iTunes as detailed above.
