Can't get my ipod to play video on my tv, even after buying the apple AV cable

Everything that I've read says that I have to put my ipod in "tv output" - but I can't find that option anywhere in my settings. 

Wht model iPod/iOS
What adopter/connection to TV?
What app are you using?
There are no TV out setting on the iPod.
Only the 5G iPod will mirror the iPod's screen. Otherwise, TV video out ony works for apps that support TV out

  • How can you get your ipod to play music on your ihome?

    I can't get my ipod to play on my ihome is says this accesssory is not supported by ipod touch!

    If it started after updating to iOS 5 it may be that the dock is not compatible with iOS 5.  Somebody else recently posted with the same problem after iOS 5.

  • I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen

    I can't get my player to play videos while other apps are open IPAD 4gen
    Whenever, I have pages open or any other app I press the home button twice, and then I swipe to the right and obtain the menu that allows me to alter brightness or sound. At this point I press play and nothing works. However, once I go back to my youtube page, and press the play button then it works. If anyone could help me that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

    just click the serial number in itunes ... geeze... just kidding
    you might be able to find it on the mac...
    in finder do your username under places then library then application support then MobileSync then Backups
    the shortest folder name should be the UDID
    of course that assumes it ever made a backup...
    if it made more than one there will be some -date-blah on the end...

  • How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

    How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • How can I get my Ipod to play on someone elses computer?

    How can I get my Ipod classic to play on someone elses computer.  Not my home computer where my library is stored?

    The simplest -- and safest way for both sides -- is to use the same sort of cable you use for the AUX port on your car -- an min-jack to min-jack cable. Plug it into the headphone plug on your iPod, and connect it to the Line-In on the friends computer. This eliminates any risk of your iPod being detected by iTunes on your friends computer and getting corrupted, and also elimates any risk of malware attempting to corrupt the iPod. If you are worried about battery, simply connect your iPod to an external charger when you do this.
    When I'm at work, I never connect my iPod to my work computer. I just use an external speaker. The iPod is only connected to its primary iTunes, and then I only update that iTunes when it is absolutely necessary.

  • I can't get mi ipod to play music on my speaker/dock

    Hi all I have an ipod touch and I have a speaker/dock and I can't get the ipod to play music on the speakers
    it's hooked up, the dock recognises the ipod, I have home sharing on and this is the second speaker/dock I have tried.
    HELP

    Does the manufacturer say the dock is compatible with yur specific generation iPOd Touch and its iOS?
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site?
    Does it look/feel like the iPod is mating properly wirth the dock?
    Without you telling us your iPod model and iOS and the specific dock, it is hard to give more detailed suggestions.

  • I can not get my ipod to play the play button keeps flickering when I turn it on

    I cant get my ipod touch to play, what should I do?

    Here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    It is normal and expcted for a computer to see the iPod as a camera since that is how you get photo off the iPod.

  • HT1752 How can I get my iPod to play again?

    My iPod froze and I cannot get it to operate anymore. I would like to get all the music off it even if it never works again. Any solutions to either problems would be an abosolute help and blessing.
    Thanks

    Reset the iPod. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How can I get iTunes to update play counts and file additions between users on the same computer?

    I have placed my iTunes library in /Users/Shared/iTunes along with iTunes Music Library.XML  
    When I open iTunes, all the music is displayed correctly with playcounts etc...
    The problem is, when a playcount or album info is updated it does not carry over to the other user on the same computer. The same with adding new files to the iTunes library...
    How can I get iTunes to auto-update between users?
    Thanks

    I understand how to do that, I was looking to share all fodlers or a bunch of folders.  I found out how to do it.

  • How can i get my laptop screen to display on a second monitor after closing the laptop

    I have a 13" MacPro, love it, but its display is a little small for how far away i sit at my desk. I have a second 21" monitor that i would like to use for this purpose, but whenever i close the laptop screen it shuts down the signal for the second screen as well. Is there a setting that i am missing to be able to close the laptop and still use my monitor?

    Hi AmandaBenton,
    The article below will explain how to use an external display with your Macbook Pro.
    The "Mirror Displays" option will show whatever you are seeing on your Macbook Pro on your TV screen.
    How to use multiple displays with your Mac
    Video mirroring
    Mirroring displays the same image on each display.
    Make sure your additional display is properly connected and powered on.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    From the View menu, choose Displays.
    Click the Arrangement tab.
    Enable (check) "Mirror Displays" in the bottom-left corner.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • How can I get my iPod to play through the 30 pin connector?

    I bought an 30 pin to 8 pin adapter. I plugged it into my iPod and plugged it into the sound system (new Yamaha MCR -049). The scene says "unknown iPod" and will not play music (it comtinues to play through the iPod's speaker) and it does not indicate that the iPod is charging. What am I doing wrong?

    Is a lightning adapter the same as 8 pin ? The manufacurer says this stereo says this only works with iPod 5 (mine is) and the only way to connect is an adapter. I bought an after market brand instead of Apple branded.  I think I have a bad adapter. I'll buy a 39 pin to lightning adapter. I think that's the only way I can figure put if the dock works.

  • I can't get my ipod to play the next podcast in sequence.

    My old Mini played podcasts in sequence. At the end of one, it moved to the next podcast by the same author. My current 5th Gen goes back up to the main menu at the end of every podcast. Very frustrating! Thank you for your help!

    You may need to have them in a playlist.
    Also...if you have Shuffle turned on, make sure they're not set to Skip When Shuffling.

  • I have a new iMac, and successfully transferred all the music. But I still can't get my iPod to download from iTunes without it losing all of the songs, photos, or tones.

    I have transferred all of the songs from the old iMac we own to a new one we just bought. I have already had one problem with the music as in some songs wouldn't play without me using sharing. So I took and old computer off the sharing network and all is well there. But my iPod Touch will not download any music, tones, or pictures without me taking all of the previous items on my iPod Touch. Anyone have any clue what I should do?

    Since I am impatient and can't wait for 90 minutes for an answer, I have decided to lose everything on my iPod and try to remember all the songs I had on them. But if anyone can help me prevent this in the future, that woud be great!

  • I can't get cd's to play on my iMac. What could be the cause?

    what could be causing cd'sno to play on my iMac? Also what maybe some low cost but reliable fixes?

    That's a real tough one, trying to figure out why one or two CDs out of a dozen will not work...? Most likely they are slightly warped, out of round, off center or have some sort of film or blemesh that your superdrive doesn't like...?
    You might try burning them to blank discs on another Mac or PC and see if they'll work that way.
