Apple iPhone 3G Dock + Apple Composite AV Cable

Trying to use an Apple Composite AV Cable (MB129LL/B) on a Apple iPhone 3G Dock (MB484G/A) connected to a LCD: No go (regarding video out) so far - is it only me? Has someone got this working together?

+At least the Apple Universal Dock is advertised as working http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454+
+But I don't want to spend another $49 (dock) + $9 (3G dock adapter)+
I purchase an Apple Universal Dock from the AppleStore in Sydney. It came with the iPhone 3G dock adapter even though at the time on the online AppleStore it said it didn't. In fact I bought the iPhone 3G dock adapter and had to return it.

Does Apple iPhone 4 Dock support answering calls through apple headphone

Does Apple iPhone 4 Dock support answering calls through apple headphone? or is the audio out just a simple audio out that cannot interact with the headphone cable remote control, e.g. answering calls , skipping to next song as we used to as normal?

From my experience, whichever one is connected last reigns supreme and takes over.
When I walk to my car, I have my headphones in, and when I plug it into my car dock (with the headphones still plugged in and music still playing), the music switches from the headphones and pumps through my car stereo.
Then when I get out of the car and plug my headphones in (with the car dock still attached and playing music), the headphones take over.

Transfer of contacts from apple iphone 4s to apple iphone 5

I require your support for transfer of contacts from apple iphone 4s to apple iphone 5

If you have been using the iphone as designed, then all of your contacts are on your computer ( where they should be). Sync them to the new iphone.

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 ?

Old Apple dock and composite AV cables

My old iPod with Color display (circa 2005) recently died, so I'm getting a new iPod Touch 4G.
the old iPod could display pictures on the TV as well as play music. I had it in an old style genuine Apple dock and used a genuine Apple Composite AV cable to connect the dock and my home entertainment system so I could show the pictures on the TV and play music through my surround sound system. That old Apple AV cable did not connect through the dock connector but is connected to the dock through a headphone like 3.5mm plug. That old Dock also has an S-Video out
All the original stuff was bought years ago when I made good money... but I lost my job over a year and half ago and just got another after being out of work that long that pays significantly less than I used to make ...
As my old iPod died, after living on shoestring budget so long with NO frills, even though money is still tight, I decided to give myself a gift for the holidays and replace it with a Touch.
I knew i would have to replace my old Apple Firewire chargers (I have 2) and my old 3rd party firewire car charger (in the car I had a line out cable from dock connector as well which I connected to a cassette adaptor for my 9 year old car)..
But figured I could find USB chargers cheaply and could still use the old dock and AV cables (as those were - and still are- outrageously expensive)...
But I've started reading things which I think are saying is that I might not be use my old Apple Dock, and Apple Composite AV cables which is making me nervous.
So ... can I use the old Apple Dock and AV cables for video with the 4g Touch????
There should be no TECHNICAL reason for it not to work... but maybe Apple has gotten a bit more greedy...
If it does not work for video, will at least the audio part of the cable connected to that dock and the s-video out work? I can make that work with what I already have to get audio and video.
If not then I need a lot more new stuff I can't really afford... and will be very very disappointed and angry with Apple... There is no good reason those things should stop working other than purposely sabotaging them to make me have to buy new over priced accessories! I PAYED my apple tax on those already!
Thanks for any info...
A worried karen

Apparently there are at least 3 different Dock model numbers.
The Model number is the most important and can be found on the bottom of the dock.
The part numbers may change due to several things like boxing an AV cable with or without a wall charger. You would probably get the same cable but the part number on the box would be different due to possible other contents inside the box.
1. *iPod Photo Dock* Part# M9868G/A, Model# ?????
with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
2. *iPod Universal Dock* Part# MA045G/A, *Model# A1153*
with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
3. *Apple Universal Dock* Part# MC746LL/A, Model# ?????
with Apple Composite AV Cable Part# MC748AM/A
or Apple Component AV Cable Part# MC917ZM/A
I had both items in #2 above. I still have the iPod Universal Dock and it came in its own box.
No remote, No cable(s), but did come with 5 dock adapters.
I never tried my iPod Touch through the Dock to the TV. I did try the iPod Touch using the older iPod AV Cable to the TV but that did not work and the link above tells us it doesn't. That's why I bought the newer Composite Cable which does work when directly connected to the TV and the iPod Touch.
I gave my older cable away to a friend so I can't test if it would work like the document says or not but like you said, in theory, it should work.
According to the document given above and below, the iPod Touch should work with your Dock you have now even though it doesn't list the 4th generation. (I don't think they have updated this yet)

If you buy a new iPod Touch 4th generation, then I guess the only way you will know for sure is to try it out and let us know here.

I have brought an Apple iphone 4 from Apple store Arndale house for use any network, but this phone is locked with vodafone. Please suggest, how to unlock this phone to use all other network in other country?

Dear Team,
i had brought a APPLE IPHONE4 from APPLE STORE, MANCHESTER ARNDALE. new cannon street mall.
when i was visiting for purchasing this device the sales team told me that the phone is unlocked and can use all around the world with any other network when i'm trying to use it other network it showed that NO SERVICE(at network issue) and then i made a call 2 apple customer support so the executive told me that this device has been locked with VODAFONE UK network. this was the FAKE commitment of sales team also its a CHEATING i must say that.
i'm very much disapointed and dissatiesfied with the APPLE STORE sales team...
kindely look toward and give me solution.
thanks,
regard,
Nishant Kumar

I had read that thanks but many happy owners of locked iPhones
claim to have bought from an Apple store they do not actually mean
Apple Retail
Arndale Centre is one of the largest Malls in Europe and every vendor of iPhones is there
Apple retail in UK ONLY sell unlocked iPhones unless you opt for a contract at a reduced price
not something you can do accidently as in sim free in US
But thanks for you guidance

IPhone 3G Dock - Apple Remote?

Is it possible to use an Apple remote (the little white ones that come with a MacBook) to control my iPhone 3G while sitting in the 3G dock? If not, does anyone know of a dock with IR where this is possible?
THANKS!

You can get a 3G dock adapter for the universal dock now: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB546G/A?fnode=home/shopiphone/iphone_accessories/cablesdocks&mco=MTI3Mzc4Mg

Can't charge Apple BT headset through iPhone 3G Dock?

Is this correct? I plugged the BT charging cable into the Apple iPhone 3G dock. I put the iPhone in the dock to charge, and the headset in its charging port, and left it overnight. This morning I noticed the headset had lost charging!
Then I just plugged the cable into the iPhone and it charges. If that is the case, what a waste to have bought the dock.
Also will the headset charge from the cable if not plugged into the phone?
Thanks!

It looks like simply connecting the cable to the dock stops the headset from charging. I verified this by plugging in the headset, and seeing the charge light appear. I then grabbed the dock without the phone in it, and plugged it in. Headset light turned off shortly after.
Really disappointing that there is no dock solution for the headset and the 3g iPhone. I discovered this after hooking up the cable to the dock and thinking it was working, only to find my headset battery was completely drained.

Original iPhone, latest firmware, universal dock, composite AV cable ...

and a plasma tv...
I am trying to watch some ITunes U movies on my plasma set while working out. So i buy a universal dock, the composite AV cable for the iPhone, hook it all up and try to watch an episode. What happens is that the video on the iPhone becomes frozen with the title, and i get sound but no video on the Plasma. The Plasma (having S-Video and Video in connectors) displays S-Video as the input source...
So, a basic, stupid question. If i have, let's say an HD video on the iPhone, and try to play this over TV Out, is that supposed to work over a composite cable? Or do i need to convert those videos to 576i first? Meaning, does the iphone do any kind of conversion on the fly for the signal, or not?
If it does, what else could be the problem here?
Frank

Frank,
I am able to play videos from my iPhone using composite cables. I have a Panasonic plasma TV and when I first tried to play a video I found It would not play using my normal "cable" setting. I had to use the remote control that came with my TV and select another "cable" setting, after which it played perfectly (sound and picture). Finally,make sure that the input jacks are pushed in all the way.

Using iPhone Remote on Apple TV

i cannot use my Apple iPhone remote on Apple TV because my home sharing account is listed under a non iCloud account on my ATV and under my iCloud account on my iPhone.
I use my Apple ID non iCloud account for all my content purchases with the iTunes Store. However, my photos, iCloud storage and most other services are under my iCloud account. My iCloud login is what I list on both on iPhone and Apple TV, but the home sharing is linked to my Apple ID on my Apple TV and to my iCloud login on my iPhone. how do I set it up so that they are both listed as one without losing access to my iTunes content under my Apple ID or photos, storage and other non-purchased content under my iCloud login.

You don't need itunes open to play content from your tv using the remote app, however if your tv streams its content from itunes then you will need itunes open before your tv can play that content, this applies whether you use the included remote or the remote app.

Apple iPad 3 or Apple iPod Touch?

I Want to Get an Apple iPad 3 when I Get My Tax Money cause I Did do My Tax's already or should I Get The Apple iPod Touch? I Have many App Video Games that can Play on My Apple iPhone 4 32GB & i'm looking into getting an Apple iPad or an Apple iPod Touch 64GB & all The iPhone & iPod Touch Games say it can Play on Apple iPad using The Requirements listed below & i'll probably need The Most Up To Date iOS that they have so I Visited some of the App Video Games that I Have & they all have these Requirements for Apple iPad listed below so i wanted to know should I Get an Apple iPad or should I Buy an Apple iPod Touch? cause I Don't want to keep buying App's if I Already have them for My Apple iPhone & then I Have to buy them again for Apple iPad cause every App that I Go to for My Apple iPhone on The Apple iTunes Page has The Requirements for The Apple iPad & I Wanted to know will all The Apple iPhone App Video Games Play on The Apple iPad 3? or will I Have to buy them again just because they are in a Diffrent Area Part of iTunes & i'm forced to buy them again? & why does every App Video Game for iPhone & iPod Touch that I Go to has The iPad Requirements if they have a Special Area for all The Apple iPad App's in Apple iTunes so what is Apple iTunes trying to do? I Don't understand? Please Explain? I Would like to get The Apple iPad 3 or should I Get an Apple iPod Touch? so this does not make everything Confuzing so how does this all work? meaning why do they put The iPad Requirements for all The Apple iPhone & iPod Touch App's for if they have another Area for Apple iPad App's?
Lets just Say I Buy Real Racing 2 for Apple iPhone witch I Have & it say's The iPad Requirements & iPhone & iPod Touch Requirements for The iPhone & Still they have another Area for Apple iPad with all The iPad App's in Apple iTunes so why do they do it that way? so I Must say The Apple iPad 3 must be able to play all the Apple iPhone & Apple iPod Touch App's to unless i'm wrong? so let's just say I Have Real Racing 2 for Apple iPhone so does that mean Real Racing 2 will or Will not Play Real Racing 2 on Apple iPad 3? or will i be forced to buy Real Racing 2 in HD? how does it all work? i'm confused?

Should I Buy Apple iPad 3 or Apple iPod Touch?

Okay, I think what you're trying to figure out is if your apps can automatically be used on all your stuff? Is that right?
That's difficult to answer because:
if you buy apps and have iCloud activated it will work. However, you need to have iOS 5.xx on your devices for iCloud to work:
http://www.apple.com/ipad/ios/
So, you need iOS 5.xx for this to work. If you set up iCloud, you should get iTunes to automatically park your apps on all your devices - at least as far as I know.
It might help for your to make an appointment at the Genius bar and tell him exactly what you have and how you can go about it.
By the way, there is no iPad3 yet...... and if it was me, I'd go for an iPad because the screen is so much bigger - you don't need another screen as big as you already have with your phone?

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

Marcus
