Apple component cable issue audio no video

Just purchased the Component cable to play movies purchased from itunes on my Sharp Aquos TV. Tv does have the correct ports for the component cable. But when I plug the cable in I get sound but no picture. The video out setting on the ipad is correct, NTSC, as are the tv settings, NTSC and correct input. What am I missing?

If you are sure your video settings are correct on both, try the order of how you plug in the cables. I had this one time before but forget what I did using an iPhone. You need to either plug the cables into the TV, turn on your iDevice to the movie, then plug the 30 pin into the iDevice, or reverse it. It was something screwy like that. It had to do with the order and powering it all on. Sorry I don't remember better. Hope that helps.

  • 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?
    Bob

    I would love to know this too. I can't get photos or video to display on my TV

  • 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?

  • I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

    I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

    Will not work.  To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported.  The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

  • IPod Nano Video-Out to TV (Via new Apple Component cable) DOESN"T WORK

    It doesn't work on my nano. The sound plays fine, the video is distorted. It isn't the cable, since I have an iPod Touch that displays fine.
    I've tinkered with the settings : Widescreen, NTSC, Fit to Screen, etc... none of it helps. Still shows a distorted image (like when a computer displays the wrong resolution on a screen, or the way a channel on Cable looks if you aren't subscribed to it).
    Is my Nano defective? Am I going to have to rally up several other Nano users with similar issues, post it up on my blog?
    Anyone can help me?
    Also, my iPod Touch doesn't display photo transitions (cube, wipe, etc) only fades.... even though I've attempted switching the settings. Only works when the component cable is disconnected. Any help on this too?

    Did you check the settings on the TV itself? Are you feeding the video through a A/V receiver?
    Those may also be distorting your picture.
    In my case, I'm going from my Nano>Yamaha A/V receiver>Mitsubishi 65" WS TV.
    Once I set my receiver up, and set my TV to standard, I was getting a distortion-free picture (at least with the "Jack-Jack" short that I got free from iTunes). My setting in the Nano were WS & NTSC. Everything was cool (I was surprised on how good the picture looked, but then my Yamaha is great for upscaling).
    I don't know if this helped, but if you list a little more about your config, I might be able to assit better.

  • Video output from iPod Touch (2nd gen) via AV Component Cable (no audio)

    Hi, I'm trying to output a video from my iPod Touch (2nd gen) to my TV via a AV Component Cable.
    Unfortunately the audio doesn't work, I'm sure they are all connected into the right places.
    The video works, but I get no audio. (And no subtitles when closed caption is on)
    Here is a link to an image of the TV connections from ImageShack:
    http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7280/img0204y.jpg
    At the top left of the image, are what I assume to be the red and white audio ports, highlighted in red.
    I plugged in the red and white audio connectors into those ports.
    And towards the bottom are three ports, green, blue and red, also highlighted in red.
    I plugged in the green, blue and red connectors into those ports.
    I changed the input of the TV to Input 2, I see the video for the movie I'm watching on the TV but no audio. I tried multiple movies.
    I've also tried changing the video output from PAL to NTSC and back again, turning Widescreen on and off and turning Closed Captions on and off. I also tried plugging in the red and white audio connectors into the row of ports just below the green/blue/red row, to see if that made any difference, and it didn't.
    I tapped the bottom left button of the iPod Touch when plugged in to the TV and playing video and it came up with an option that was selected called ~"Audio Source: English (Stereo)"
    Any idea's? Thanks.

    Resolved... ThankYou

  • Component cables & digital audio???

    I'm connecting my DVD player to my receiver, i want to use the 3 component (green,red,blue) for video and the digital coaxial (orange) for audio! So my question is, can I buy a component 5 cable set and use either the red or white for my digital audio? Or do I get less quality doing that? Is there a better way?

    Sorry, but in what way is this question related to Apple computers or devices? Are you referring to connecting your computer to your receiver and TV? If so, we need to know what model of Mac you're asking about before anyone can provide any useful advice.
    Regards.

  • 2.2 update: Apple component cable not working

    Hi all,
    Since updating to 2.1 (now updated to 2.2) I have been unable to get video out in my iPhone 2G.
    I have Apple component AV cables which worked fine on 2.01 with both my TV and the projectors used at University (I use this in my lectures). Upgrading to 2.2 has not fixed the problem.
    Annyhoo, once I plug them in I get the dreaded 'This device is not compatible etc...' message and all I get is audio. I have even had this warning when using the cable and the wall plug to recharge.
    I have looked through Apple's Support site and several people have been having trouble with 3rd party cables but mine are Apple, came in the nice shiny (expensive) box 'n everything. Apple Support (US) definitely lists this cable as compatible with my iPhone.
    Can anyone offer practical advice, or do I have to back to 2.01 to get this to work?

    iPhone 2G, firmware 2.2, Apple composite cable. Still works.

  • 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.

  • Concerning plugging a ps2's component cable's audio wires into the x-fi cons

    i bought a creative x-fi xtreme music sound card, then later got the x-fi console upgrade kit.
    what im trying to do is plug in the l&r audio wires from the component cable of a ps2 into the aux in ports at the back of the console to run the ps2s sound through my x-fi card.
    but as of now i cant hear anythin by doing this. what id like to know is whether what im tryin to do is possible. and if so, what do i have to do to be able to hear the input from the aux in port at the back of the x-fi console.
    i would appreciate any advice on this

    When you have Game Console open, There is 5 sliders, the first 2, Wave and Midi Synth cannot be changed, the rest are changeable; Pick one under playback that has an arrow above it, click the arrow, and you get the options of which input you want to use.
    If you don't have the Game Console installed, the settings can be acessed from: ControlPanel/Sounds and Audio Devi'ves/Volume - Device Volume/Advanced... - Play control, if Aux 2 isn't appearing in Play control, go options/Properties and select AUX 2, this will display Aux 2 in your mixer controls.

  • Insignia component cable issues

     I just bought an Insignia  Advanced 46" Class TV from best buy, and it works great for everything except when I'm playing my Xbox 360 on it, connected by HD Component Cables, but every few minutes at varying times the TV turns off, but is able to be turned on immediately and last a while before doing it again. 

    I agree. Dont wait...

  • So I paid for the Apple dock and component cables to watch videos, BUT

    I can only play one video at a time and cannot use the remote to forward to the next video? What?! I have to get up and go the the TV to select and play each and every single music video? Why did I need the proprietary dock to play the videos in the first place if you can't even use the remote?
    This wouldn't be an issue if I could organize my music videos into playlists like I am able to with music, but can't do that either. For the cost of the dock, component cables, Touch, and the videos themselves, you'd think they'd have covered their bases on the simplest of conveniences.
    Apple, please allow me to remotely forward through my videos, and
    2, let me organize my music videos into playlists just like songs, and then be able to actually play the music video from the playlist.
    Thank you.

    I tried this, but it doesn't seem to work on my Touch. Maybe I am mising something. But after creating music playlists with just music videos in them, when I connect to the dock and hit the video button, it just displays all of my music videos in list form. There is no option at the bottom of the screen to choose a playlist, like what you see when you are in music mode. There is also no shuffle option at the top of the screen to select. The only thing I can do is select a specific video and play it, then when it is done it goes back to the music video list where I have to get up and select another video to play. This all has to be done one at a time, and directly from the Touch. Conversely, when I select the playlist while in music mode, it will play the songs, but just displays the album art - no video.
    My Touch is at the latest software version. There is an upgrade available to iTunes I haven't done yet, but I didn't think that would matter. Based on my scenario, is there something simple I am overlooking? It sounds like you've been able to accomplish some semblance of playing back multiple videos at once on your TV without having to get up and manually select each one.
    Thanks.

  • Import issues, Audio/video Unsynced

    Having major import issues, audio and video won't play in sync. Working with MP4 and MXF on most recent version of Premiere CC. Everything plays fine in quicktime/vlc but goest haywire in premiere. Have been through tech support twice, updated drivers, cleared cache and Premiere still has trouble playing back video/audio in sync. Any idea what's going one? Our company recently switched to adobe for the supposed "ease" it handles different codecs and so far have had nothing but issues? Sorry if this is already addressed in one of the forms, am at my witts end now having lost multiple days trying to troubleshoot premiere.

    Hi Adobe4,
    Having major import issues, audio and video won't play in sync. Working with MP4 and MXF on most recent version of Premiere CC.
    Sorry for this issue. Tell me, where did these files originate? From a video camera? Do they have a constant frame rate or a variable frame rate?
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • IPod Classic, component cables, TV, does not work, help...

    I just bought the nifty Apple component cables for my 160GB iPod Classic and it is not sending video properly to my TV. I plug my DVD player component inputs into the TV, it works. I plug the iPod Classic component inputs in and I get sound but a black & white, swirly, barely distinguishable image.... and yes, I have triple checked that the cords are correct, and tried changing them around.
    Could someone shed some light on this? I plugged the component cable set directly into the iPod, so its not a dock issue, and I checked that the iPod is set to NTSC...

    i figured it out a while ago
