Apple Composite AV cable doesn't work with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3)

Hello,
Just purchased composite AV cable from apple store but it doesn't play videos on TV but audios only,
Is it firmware or my cable prlbme?

I used the original Apple composite AV cable with my iPhone 3G (OS 3.1.3) for a while and it worked fine for video playback in the iPod app. But after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4 the cable stopped working. Video on my TV remains black and is shown on the iPhone's screen instead of the TV, and sometimes the iPhone tells me that this accessory is not designed to work with this iPhone. What did Apple do? Is there anyone who can confirm this change in behavior? Apple still recommends this cable in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=en_US
Regards,
Marcus

  • 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.

  • Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

    Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android phone worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech guy at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  What is apple doing to fix this.

    The Bluetooth on my 2012 Lexus doesn't work with my iPhone 5.  My old android worked perfectly with my car.  Even the tech specialist at Lexus couldn't get it to work.  Lexus said that other iPhone 5s were having the same problem.  What is apple doing to fix this?

    Going to the local Apple store this morning...
    My problem is not uncommon as the board is showing signs of this happening to many others as well. That is where I found the restore and reboot information to try to solve the issue of crashing apps.
    I understand that Apple will not "give away the cow", but letting iPhone users know that the problems they are having are being addressed by Apple is a little more comforting than nothing at all. Other wise, all the apps in world are useless and even more importantly worthless, if a person has to reset/reboot/reload just to get them to work.
    IF Apple can not address the basic problems with todays iPhone apps, why should one believe that the iPhone 3.0 OS is any better? Using a PC comparison, which is better, XP or Vista. If the current iPhone OS of 2.2. what ever is not working that well (as related to down loaded apps and iTunes), will OS 3.0 be any better?
    The waste of time I refer to is in going to the apps store and downloading the apps... Again why by apps if the free version does not work?

    Hello lila54,
    It sounds like your Wi-Fi network is working if your desktop works with it, we just need to get the Wi-Fi on your iPhone and iPad connected to it.  I found a couple of resources to help with not being able to connect to Wi-Fi on an iOS device.
    I recommend following the steps in this tutorial first (the steps should work on the iPhone and iPad):

    If you are still having trouble connecting to Wi-Fi, follow the steps in this article (you can skip any steps you have already taken):

    Thank you for posting in the Apple Support Communities.

  • Apple Firewire to Thunderbolt doesn't work with my Infrasonic Deux sound card

    Hello! My soundcard "Infrasonic Deux" doesn't work with Apple Thunderbolt to Firewire adaptor on my macbook pro 15 retina. On the other mac's the same problem! Via Firewire my soundcard work as well! but it doesn't work with Adapter! Help, please!

    If you purchased an unlocked iPhone at an Apple store, it should be useable with any SIM.  Its possible they just made a mistake and gave you the wrong model phone or there is something wrong with that phone.  If that is the case, just take the phone and your receipt to an Apple store, explain the situation and they should swap it out for an actual unlocked one.

  • Male to male audio cable for car doesn't work with my iphone 4s?

    I have a 3.5 mm male to male cable that I have used in my car so I can listen to my music.  It works fine with my iphone 3G, but it doesn't work with the new 4s.  Is there a special cable I need to use with it?  It's weird, because my earbuds work with either iphone, but not the audio cable.  Suggestions??

    I have the exact same issue with my new 4S.
    I haven't find a solution yet.

  • HT5622 apple ID and password doesn't work on my iphone.

    Hi, my iphone won't recognize my apple ID password but the ID is correct and works on my MacBook and ipad. So I'm not getting my emails or imessages to my iphone. This this just occured after doing a software update to IOS 7.0.6. What do I do?

    I'm having the same issue and I'm SO frustrated.  I can log into MyAppleID fine (as I did to make this post), but that same user/pass doesn't work with iTunes and my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 both won't update any apps.  When I try to log in to iTunes on either device the login screen just pops back up again in an endless loop, yet I go to a PC and login to my account just fine.  I've now reset my password at least 3 times, I've signed in/out and rebooted the devices countless times, and yes, I'm sure I'm entering the password correctly.  It's just driving me nuts.

  • All of the fm transmitters doesn't work with my iphone 4

    At first i had one of those griffin fm transmitters and it worked fine but after a while it stoped working and the fm transmitter dint turned on anymore i thught it was the fm transmitter was the problem but when i tried a different fm transmitter it did the same thing. help

    So the FM transmitter won't turn on at all... and you think the problem is the iPhone?  Is the battery in the FM transmitter flat? If you turn on the transmitter without plugging it into anything can you tune to it on the radio?  What if you plug the FM transmitter into another device? an iPod, CD player... something...
    I don't see how the problem can be related to the iPhone in any way. Do headphones work with your iPhone? If so, then the problem is definitely NOT the phone.

  • Composite video cable doesn't work...

    I have a video composite cable (one of those cables which have three heads, red, white and and yellow, on one end, and a single head, like a headphone cable, with three "rings" on the other) for my video camera, and I tried it with my iPod and my TV. It doesn't work. It works when playing music (with a little "hissing", so I guess after all it doesn't "quite work"), but it doesn't for video. When I switch off the TV out of my iPod and play video, the TV's got the sound and the iPod's got the image. I tried that cable with some other stuff too, like my digital camera and it works. I thought all those composite video cables are the same; I thought all video composite cables work for iPod but apparently it isn't the truth, because if it is, my cable would've worked. So what's wrong? Is it my cable? Or worse, my iPod?

    As noted above, you need to switch the outputs.
    Apple did this so you can use regular headphones with the iPod.
    If you plug standard headphones into a video camera, it will not work correctly because the video camera jack is wired differently than the headphones.

  • Does Apple do a cable that will work with an Aiptek T15 pocket projector for iPhone 5?

    I have an iPhone 5 and I have an Aiptek T15 pocket projector, when I purchased the projector I had an iPhone 4S so the cable I needed was an AV cable that connected my iPhone to the projector to play videos from YouTube, Netflix or any other video playback there was. But now I have the iPhone 5 so I need the same cable but of course with a lightening connector, does apple do such a cable or does anyone know where I can get one? Thanks in advance, and I apologise if this makes no sense! Thanks! :)

    You might be able to use your existing cable along with the 30-pin to Lightning adapter .
    If that doesn't work, though, you'll need additional equipment to get the signal converted as Apple does not make a lightning to composite/RCA cable.

  • 40GB iPod Photo came with FW cable, doesn't work with FW cable

    I have a 40GB iPod photo that I love. I bought another (used) one for my wife, being careful to get the identical model so we could share things such as docks, cables, etc.
    Her iPod works fine with the USB cable, but will only charge with the FW cable -- no computer can see her iPod through FW. I've reset the iPod, updated it with the iPod updater, but nothing. When I connect her iPod to any of my Macs (her 12" iBook, my 12" PowerBook, my G5 iMac) with FW, the iPod appears to be charging, but is not detected by the computer, nor are any of the iPod controls usable. It doesn't go to the "do not disconnect" screen, but simply freezes where it is until the FW cable is disconnected.
    Specifics: both iPod Photos are the 40GB model M9585LL, version 1.2.1. The 2nd one CAME WITH a FW cable, which is why I'm puzzled that it won't work with it. Help?

    Here is some info for the pinout for the iPod.
    http://www.anythingbutipod.com/archives/2006/04/zen-vision-m-video-cable-other-4 pole-35mm-pinouts.php
    You need to find the pinout of the camera cable you have.
    Probably be easier to get get an AV cable with a 3.5mm plug to (whatever fits into your TV) cable.
    Usually, you simply have to swap the Red and the Yellow for it to work properly.

  • Why doesn't a genuine Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter work with an iPhone 6 Plus?

    Hello all -  I was wondering if anyone else out there was having an issue with their Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter not working with their new iPhone 6 Plus?  The adapter worked fine with my iPhone 5, but since I got my new phone, I keep getting the message that says that "this accessory may not be compatible..." Did Apple change something with their Lightning ports?  Should I purchase a new 30 pin to Lightning adapter?  This is annoying!  I have used it in my car (Kia) for over a year with an iPhone 5 and it worked flawlessly.

    Howdy nanster23,
    If you have as yet been unable to use this 30pin to lightning bolt adapter, I would like to recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that squared away:
    If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories
    These sections in particular since you have already done a couple of them:
    Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
    Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
    Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
    Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
