Can I watch videos from my iPod touch 4th gen on my tv

I have purchased a composite video AV cable to TV RCA cable to watch my videos from my iPod touch through my tv. The lead apparently works with all ipod touch and iPhone 4, and all software updated, but I can not change my video settings to play through the tv as I don't have the option to change to tv out.
Does anyone know how to get around this?
Thanks

Ok, I have music videos on my iPod, purchased from iTunes and I want to view them on my tv. I bought the cable as I was told this would work. If you can't view a video bought from iTunes on a tv, what can you view?
All connections are correct, the iPod states that the video is being played through a tv, but nothing shows up on my screen. And yes, I do know which channel to switch to. I just don't have the option on my iPod or iPhone to switch to tv out, whether the cable is plugged in or not. Every where I look for info it says I need to change my options to video out on my iPod settings, but it's not an option available. All I get on my tv is a plain screen as if nothing is connected.

    How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
    The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine.  iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so.  Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost.  The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there.  There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch.  How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore?  HELP...

    Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
    You can restore from an existing backup

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod Touch 4th Gen back onto my PC?

    I accidentally deleted my iTunes Library file today and when I add all of my music back on it has music I don't want on it and none of my playlists are there (There are over 1000 songs on my computer and I only want about 200 of them). I thought that I could use all of the files from my iPod and put them onto my PC. After a while searching I couldn't find a way and have resorted to here. I'd prefer not to download separate software or redownload my files because my internet is painfully slow at the moment (0.8mbps). I just want a quick and easy way to put all of my stuff from my iPod back onto my computer. It's stupid how Apple make it so easy to put music onto the iPod but make it impossible to do the opposite. (Stupid industry standard safety, eBay and Amazon haven't even got this much security!). My iPod is running IOS 6.1.3 and my PC is Microsoft (much much much much.... better then Apple ) Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Thanks!

    For non-Tunes purchases yo need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

  • Need to get all the files, well music and video, from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary.

    Need to get all the files, (well music and video), from my ipod touch 5th gen to my itunes libary. (So basically sync the other way to normal)
    Laptop hard drive broke so had to buy a new one and obviously now need to sort out my itunes.
    Did try downloading all my purchased stuff onto itunes but it has missed some things off, and there are some files I did not purchase from itunes so need a way of getting them back on there.
    Sure this question has been asked a million times but can't find anything to help me on here so thought I'd ask.
    -Did have a look at going onto the start menu and opening the hidden items thing but couldn't see any reference to ipod or device on it so wasn't sure how to do it that way.
    -On itunes under my device when its connected, the section about manually restoring and backing up, would that help me? Because that says it will manually back up my ipod to my computer then could restore that back up, obviously I don't want to accidnetally get rid of everything on my ipod so didn't want to try that just in case without checking.
    (And yes I have disabled auto sync to device when conncected!)
    Can anyone help me please? Sorry if i've overcomplicated this!
    Thanks:)

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV.  Is this a design flaw?  Or is it me?  My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

  • Trying to upload to youtube a 16:9 video through my ipod touch 4th gen and its not working.

    Hey i have managed to download the Imovie for the Ipod touch 4th Gen, I can't seem to export or upload to youtube a 16:9 screen just a very thin screen. I don't have a apple mac, I have windows vista. I realise for some features you have to use a apple mac. So is there anyway that I can fix this problem, thank you for your time and patience.
    -Spiritualperformer

    See:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    You can also go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn on Assistive Touch It adds the Home button to the iPod's screen.
    Yes, if you get it fixes, the iPod will likely be erased. Apple will not repair your old iPod, they exchange it for a refurbished one and do not transfer data.

  • Why can't I add videos to my iPod touch 4th gen?

    I have updated my 4th gen iPod touch to the most recent iOS, 6.1.2. I want to put videos in it. I have already converted my videos to the appropriate format and put them in iTunes. But when I drag the icon of the video to the iPod touch icon, it won't work. On the other hand, when I do the same to the iPod classic, it works like a charm. How come I can't add videos to my 4th gen iPod touch? HELP!

    I would try placing the movies in the iTunes movie library and then using the Create iPod and iPhone Version in the advanced tab of iTunes.  It is likely that the format is not compatible with the iPod.  There are many variations in the mp4 format and all are not compatible the iPod.

  • Is it possible to read the description of videos that you can see in iTunes on your iPod Touch 4th Gen or 5th Gen?

    I was wondering if it's at all possible to read the description of videos that you have on your iPod Touch 4th or 5th Generation. It's available on iTunes, but I was wondering if there was a way to see it on your actual device.
    Any answer would be a great help! Thanks

    You can omit the title altogether in the URL (together with the succeeding slash, of course). For example, my own podcast URL in the Store is
    https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-sound-of-78s/id166389425?mt=2
    but this works perfectly well:
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/id166389425
    Indeed you can even put your own title:
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/any_old_title/id166389425
    So it's as simple as that!

  • Should I switch from a Ipod Touch 4th gen. to an Ipad?

    Hey i'm in high school now and i'm looking if I should switch from a ipod touch to an ipad (or stay with ipod and possibly upgrade to a 5th gen.), seeing as our school is allowing us to use ipads and laptops. That means I need all the nessacary tools for school.
         What I'm looking for:
    1.Speed and performance
    2.portable "laptop" (i like the pocketness of ipod,
       but i dont walk around the city that much, but
       would it bother with an ipad?)
    3. Latest (if possible)
    4. i am on a budget (or could i sell my ipod? or have both? - might take awhile)
    5. music (5 gb +/-)
    6. photos (not too much photos)
    7. camera (I do have alot of sibings and my parents like me to take pics so i need a good camera, maybe flash?)
              Please answer with all answers possible. Thanks!!!

  • HT1414 How can I really reset a frozen Ipod Touch (4th gen.) when none of the usual tips work????

    My Ipod touch (4th generation) froze in the "Connect to Itunes" screen, while updating to the latest OS. Neither resetting (hoding on/of and front button), connecting to Itunes or draining the battery (tried that twice) changes anything. Is there anyone with an REAL answer (already read all the forums I could find).

    Check to see if you tried all the following. I think you have
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
