Apple AV Cable's
The Apple av cables are awesome. They look great and also give a really crisp picture when connecting the video ipod to a t.v. However if your t.v is more than 25 cm from where you plug in the audio leads then make sure you get a coupler and a photo to phono lead. The reson for this is because the cables are moulded together and therefore if your audio leads are plugged in then it is most likely the video phono lead wont reach your t.v.
Unless of course you will be plugging all three phono's directly to your t.v, then it will be fine.
Well,
I'm not trying to insult, but s-video should be better than composite seeing as s-video separates color from b/w, while composite has it all on the same line. S-video should produce a higher quality image than composite. As for it vs. the DLO product, I'm not sure, but I'll let you know after I return my Apple AV kit to CompUSA today and see what else they have. They belkin version looks pretty nice...
I'd completely exclude the apple AV kit for the simple fact that you can't navigate the ipod's standard menus. You can only go back and forth through playlists. It *****! Very un-apple. Shame.
My 2 cents...

I used to be able to play video podcasts on my TV by connecting my iPod touch to the TV via an Apple AV cable. Now that I've upgraded to ios 6 and the podcasts app got installed along with the upgrade, video podcasts will no longer play on my TV when connecting the iPod to the Tv via an Apple AV cable. It should be noted that other video content (movies, TV shows, etc) will play when connecting the iPod to the TV via an Apple AV cable. Is there a setting I need to make that will fix this, or is this yet another bug with the podcasts app? Or is the Podcast app for some reason designed so that you are unable to output a signal via the AV cable when playing back video content (this would be a pretty bad decision on apple's part). Also, I have to say that I'm not happy at all with the Podcasts app, so if there's a way to uninstall it without harming the functionality of ios 6, that would be great.
I found a workaround that puts podcasts back in the video app as well as the music app so you can watch them on TV via an AV cable again.
The instructions can be found at this video:

In short:
1. Make sure both the music and podcast app aren't running on your iPhone.
2. Plug your iPhone into your computer and disable Podcast syncing for your iPhone in iTunes.
3. Remove the podcast app from your iPhone
4. Plug your iPhone into your computer again and turn on podcast syncing, then sync.
5. Turn off and then back on your iPhone.
After I did this, I found podcasts had returned to being listed in my music and video apps.
Hope this helps you too! -
IPhone 4 and Apple Component Cables do not work
I have an iPhone 4 and my Apple Component Cables no longer work.
I have had an iPhone 3G since July 2008, and a first gen iPod Touch. They both have and continue to work with the cables.
I have the Component cables hooked up to an Apple universal dock... it's been a great way to watch movies and TV shows on my bedroom TV, as the remote control works through the dock. I've become so accustomed to using it, I no longer even use a DVD player (all my media is digital). That's the main reason I upgraded to a 32Gb ip4. I have tried plugging the cables directly into my phone, rather than going through the dock, to no avail.
I am now on my second replacement iPhone 4, and the Genius at the Apple Store had the same issue with his demo unit. Oddly, the ip4 appears to work fine with the lower quality composite cables, but not at all with the HD compatible component cables. My question is, have any of you experienced the same problem? How is this not a bigger issue? (I can't find any threads about this issue), Am I the only person who uses his iPhone this way?
I have been in contact with Applecare. A nice rep has been trying to help me, but as of yet, has not been able to offer an answer. On the Apple Store, you can clearly see iPhone 4 listed as a compatible device for the cables.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciatedI know this is of absolutely no use to you at all but...
Same here!
Paid nearly 40 quid (GBP) for the component video cable from apple, same for the universal dock!
Nothing, nada, nought... through my theatre system or direct into the TV.
Shame really, iPhone 4 latest patches, really BIG TV (latest, greatest everything input's) fairly simple theatre system (again, everything inputs) but no joy at all getting a picture (video) out of the component cable.
Bah...
I read somewhere there could be a fault in the iPhone 4 OS, but I'd have thought that they would have fixed this by now!
NOTHING WORKS!!!
This is not a good 40 quid value !!!
Is there a solution? -
Official Apple Composite Cable DOESN'T WORK with iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.2
I've tried everything and I cannot make the official apple composite cable (MB129LL/B) work with my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2.
I get no video output AND no sound as if the cable is simply not made for my 3GS
What do need to do to get composite video output on my 3GS 3.1.2????"The 3GS will not work with a Composite cable. It will only work with a Component cable. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454"
I have had no luck with getting the component cables to work with my 3GS. They are the Apple branded cables, not some knockoff. I would be angry if I needed to buy the universal dock to get them to work. Per some of the forums I've read, it is not needed. Also, from all the reading I've done on the TV out feature in this forum and others, it appears to be a hit or miss whether it works or not. -
IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable
I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is? -
IPod classic wont play 3rd party dvd player with apple composite cable
I want to play the videos in my iPod classic 120GB(MB526LL) on my Phillips DCP750 dvd player. I am using the Apple Composite cable which I brought in the spring of 2008 with the Apple Universal Dock (MB125G) and they will not play. When I tried to just use the cable with the Phillips I received the error message “ TV Out Enabled Please Connect Video Accessory “ so I brought the dock Using the dock I do not get the message. Instead the audio comes through the headphones on my iPod but no video on the dvd player nor on the iPod. I have the iPod settings to TV out, screen standard and PAL since I am in the UK. Is it possible that my cables are too old and do not have the chip that I have read about? Should I be using the component cable rather than the composite? I have tried to find the older firmware prior to 1.0.2 but can’t. Is it worth my while to make an appointment with my local Apple store and take cables, player, dock and iPod to the Genius bar? If anyone has had this problem and figured it out could they explain to me step by step what I should be doing. I hate the idea of having to spend more money on cables and will probably just continue to watch videos on the ipod or else on the Macbook if I can not figure out a work around.
Thanks in advance.I'm so frustrated that this new iMAC doesn't have a program to do this.
Tell Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
IDVD is included with iLife 11 ON DISK.
For making movies there is no alternative or substitute for iDVD. (Buy it while you still can.)
I've tried Burn and Toast and many others, iDVD is by far the best.

For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11. -

Why won't a apple usb cable charge my ipad?
So I left town for work and forgot my ipad charger. I've tried a generic once for ipods that didn't work and I also tried an offical apple usb cable direct to the computer and that didn't work. Anyone have any suggestions on why those don't work other than buying an ipad specific one?
The USB ports on most computers are too low power-out to charge the ipads with them powered up. They will slowly charge the ipad with the ipad sleeping.
It will say "not charging" when awake, but it may very slowly charge.
The ipad supplied charger is 10 watts (5 Volts at 2 amps)
The iphone/ipod chargers are typically 5 watts (5 volts at 1 amp)
The typical computer's usb port is 2.5 watts (5 volts at 0.5 amps)
Note: Some of the newer mac's have a higher powered usb port and will give a good charge indication on the ipad.
Hope this helps... -

Audio Problem with Apple AV Cable
I just got the genuine Apple AV Cable for my iPod, which is great but when I connect it to my TV, I have to turn the volume right up on both devices. Does anyone else have this issue, or am I gonna have to get the Universal Dock?
Check your volume level under the "Settings" menu at the top level. It comes very low when you first get it. Crank it up and you should be OK.
Apple, however, really pulled a fast one by switching the normal yellow video cable from a typical camera cable output to red and the yellow to sound for right channel. If you do this, you can probably use the output cable you got with your camera and take the AV cable they sold you back to the store. -
I bought an apple lightening cable from apple but it for a hole in it and broke. So I would like to take it back I've got the cable and the receipt will that be enough? To get a new one

Apple component cable - no video output
I purchased an Apple component cable thinking I would be able to display video on my HDTV, but all I can get is audio. I know the TV is working properly as I can get component video from a WII console. The phone is a 3GS with the latest software (4.01). I get no video with the IPOD app or the photo app. I have the TV settings configured for widescreen and NTSC in the IPOD setup section.
What am I missing?
BobI would love to know this too. I can't get photos or video to display on my TV

Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync with BMW car's COMBOX
My recently purchased Apple certified cable for AV RCA out and USB sync works very well with the PC and TV. I bought it to connect to my BMW car's COMBOX interface which is designed to connect to Apple products.
It doesn't even power up and BMW fails to recognize iPod, same combox works well with the original usb sync cable which came with the iPod but that doesn't have AV out so can't play music and video to the head unit. I think this could be due to low power coming from the car's USB, am I right to think this? If yes what options have I got to fix this? Can I supply additional power to iPod?Welcome to the Apple community.
I'm afraid that's to be expected in most cases, you need to turn your TV speakers off.
