Apple AV component cable problem

Hi I'm new, i hope you can help me!
my brother gave me the Apple AV component cable (audio: red white, video: red green blue), I was very happy about it and wanted to try it on my tv, but then i recognized that my tv doesn't has the red green and blue ones for video.
It has red white and yellow (scart).
cause of that i bought this http://www.elektro-planet.com/shop/catalog/images/5525-3rgb.jpg , but when I try to use it I don't get anything on the screen.
Only audio is appearing.
Can someone help me pls?

I had the same issue at first when I tried to plug the component cable into the front of my tv. Then I found the component connectors on the back of my tv.
The fuller explanation is there are two kinds of cables - Component and Composite.
Composite cable has three colors:
Red / White for sound
Yellow for video
Component cable has five colors
Red / White grouped as a pair for sound
Red / Blue / Green for video
My tv has AV 1 on the front, it uses Composite - and AV 2 on the back using Component. Hopefully yours also has component plugs somewhere.
I took a movie over to someone else's house and they only had Composite style connectors. Connect the Red/White audio plugs like normal and the green component plug into the yellow composite slot and you get black/white. It's the best you can achieve between two different techs.
I suggest going out and picking up the composite cable as well. Because, frankly, composite is the lowest quality of image and if you've got a higher quality tv then component will do you a better image. Seriously, connecting it all up on my tv and comparing picture quality side-by-side by flipping back/forth AV1 AV2, keep the component cable and get the composite cable as a "fall back" as necessary.

  • Apple Video Component Cable only for audio

    I want to buy an Apple Video Component Cable to use it with an iPhone 3GS and also with an iPod 5G.
    The cable will be connected to the TV and to the audio receiver.
    I know that this cable is not compatible with the iPod 5G, but in this case I only want to use it to listen to music. Therefore, only audio with iPod 5G, audio/video with iPhone 3GS.
    Does anyone know if using this cable, despite the fact that video won't work on iPod 5G, audio will work fine on iPod 5G?
    I'd like to know that before I buy it.
    Thanks!
    Andrés

    I'll answer my self.
    Yes, it does play music on the iPod 5th gen.

  • Component cable problem

    Hi!
    I'm trying to connect my ipod touch 1st gen to my Samsung TV (LED series 5) using a Mac component cable. So far, I've only been able to watch and listen to videos, but unable to play any music.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Roberto!
    Your best bet if you don't want voice over is to plug your iPod in to your computer and de-select voice over. However, If it got wet, there may be other problems. Try posting this as a new question, and be specific about what's happening. No doubt that lots of people will be interested and willing to help! Best of luck to you!

  • Ipod Classic A/V Component Cable problem

    Hi guys,
    I'm having trouble with my brand new, latest generation, Ipod Classic 160GB with tv out A/V component cable.
    When I plug it on my tv I get a vertical split image with some color distortion. Sound is ok, though.
    Funny part is that I also own a 2nd generation ipod touch and the cable work fine with it.
    Please help me out! I've searched the entire internet and couldn't find nothing regarding this problem yet

    This is probably a long shot but:
    Are you getting both channels of sound? I know this sounds ludicrous, but a friend of mine had a third-party cable and it seems the colour coded sleeves - red, white and yellow - on the AV plugs were mixed up so that video was coming through one of the audio plugs. The upshot was that he got one channel of audio and video sash until he tried different combinations of plugging the cables into the ports.

  • Apple Coposit AV cable problem...

    I purchaased the Apple Coposit AV cable from Apple in hope of projecting the videos I have loaded in my iPhone and iPad. When attempted to play the video,  I hear the audio only but NO video. Is there something I missed to do?

    Hello Allecra,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are having trouble with a Digital AV Adapter. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
    About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.

  • 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....

  • How can i show single photos,not diaporama on TV with the AV component cable (without Apple TV)

    Hi everyone    
    I've got an Ipad 2 and the Apple AV component cable.
    I would like to show on tv only the photo which is on my ipad, but the only way i have is to start a diaporama with all my photos
    How should i do to show only the one I am on the ipad
    Thanks all

    @Chris:
    I was just referring to the visual graphics (you know, the fireworks, stars and other stuff that reminds me of the 70's....) that you can play on the screen when iTunes is playing music?
    I noticed that these effects are not just randomly chosen, they are in fact synchronized to the beat and intensity
    of the music, and that struck me as rather cool......

  • Apple AV Composite AV Cable Problems

    I can not seem to use the Apple AV component cable to watch videos from my iPhone 4S onto my TV.
    I have made all the right connections between the iPhone and TV, I believe. However, I was not able to watch any of my iPhone videos on my TV yet. The AV cable's Manual does mention to set "to send your ipod or iphone to send a video signal out to your TV" - which I do not know how to do on my iphone. I have not seen any "TV Out" setting on my iphone.

    Settings > General > TV Out
    This choice is visible only when your video cable is plugged into the dock connector of the iPhone.
    In my case, I have to remove the bumper I have on the iPhone, since the video cable is a tiny bit wider than the normal dock connector cable.

  • AV Component Cables

    HI All.
    I have teh Apple AV Component Cables, and i have a Panasonic Viera LCD HDTV in the bedroom, what id like to know is why even after selecting TV out on the ipod touch, that i can get sound but no picture ? ive been through every setting on the TV possible, and ive got all the Coloured cables in the right slots in the TV
    Any help would be appreciated, Ive tried the Iphone 3GS , I Pod Touch and Ipod classic and all play sound on the TV but no pictures

    Just to be clear, which cables do you have? The ones that plug into the dock connector? Or the older ones that plug into the headset jack? The older ones won't work with a Touch.

  • 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?

  • 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 appreciated

    I 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?

  • Apple iPhone 4 Dock not working with Apple A/V Component Cables.

    Okay, Got a problem here, or I think its a problem. I purchased the iPhone 4 dock and the A/V component cables with power connection. When I connect the A/V cables to the iphone, they work fine and I see the video and hear the audio on the tv. When I connect the A/V cables to the iphone 4 dock, then place the iphone 4 on the dock it DOES NOT send the audio and video feed to the TV but it does charge the iphone.
    The iPhone 4 dock, on Apple Store website says, its compatible.
    From Apple Site...
    (Charge and sync your iPhone 4 with the iPhone 4 Dock. Your iPhone 4 sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it's perfect for a desk or countertop. It features a convenient audio line out port that connects to powered speakers. It supports other iPad accessories, such as iPhone AV cables and the USB Power Adapter. You can even conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone 4 in its dock.)
    Is anyone else having this problem ?

  • Connecting iPOD classic to TV using Apple Component cable

    I have a 80g ipod classic and an apple component AV cable. I am trying to connect this to an TV with component video inputs. This TV is not an HDTV. I have attached the bl gr r cables in the correct position. I am getting a scrambled picture for NTSC and a split picture for PAL. based on my location I am sure that I should be using NTSC.
    I brought my iPOD into a local apple store and he was able to plug it in to an HDTV there with no problem so I'm pretty sure that niether the ipod or the cable is defective.
    My question is:
    Is the ipod classic only compatible with an HDTV using the component cable? If so, will it work using the composite cable?

    The dock is only good so you can use the remote. I don't know what the problem is with your Standard TV's with Component Inputs ... I've tried two different ones, also different brands, and they worked. I did make sure to change the iPod Video Settings to "TV Size = Standard". If it's set to Widescreen, that may account for the problem.
    Otherwise, I'd suggest returning the Component cables and getting the Composite ones ... or just get the Composite ones as well. Personally, I think Apple totally screwed us all over by not just adding ONE dang Composite Video out cable to the AV Cables and allowing the Component Out to have a HD/Standard switch, much like most of the Game Console AV cables available. I don't know why they didn't do this, especially since we've got about 2 years before EVERYONE starts upgrading to HD. I guess they're just hoping to rake in some extra money by not making the Component AV Cable more capable.
