...Here you can see "TV OUT", where it says "widescreen" make sure is ON.
I have my iPad Video set to "widescreen", but it didn't make a difference when I briefly tried it with a HDMI connection from my iPad2 to my Samsung TV. The video was letterboxed as was the iPad homepage when it was displayed on my big TV.
I didn't try a streaming video so I don't know if that would be letterboxed or not. I do have a movie on my iPad and I'll give it a try (perhaps tomorrow). If it isn't letterboxed, I'll post it here.
Overall (at least via HDMI), I was very unimpressed with the process. The picture seemed washed out and the resolution certainly suffered. I don't remember what my test video was, but the results were what one would expect with a SD signal. At this moment I don't see any serious usage of this process for me.

IPod Touch (2nd gen) - Does not work with Component AV Cable

I have a 2nd generation iPod Touch. Today I bought the component AV cable at the Apple store (along with a universal dock). Connected it correctly to the TV and:
1. No picture (screen is blue, as though nothing connected); no sound (whether video or music)
2. Whatever video is playing on the actual iPod gets stuck - as though it is on "pause", with the difference that you can push "play" and "pause" and the only thing that does is change the "play" or "pause" icon from one to the other or vice-versa--video will not actually play
3. Setting Widescreen to "on" or "off" has no effect
4. Tried connecting it to an old iPod Nano (2nd gen I think) - also no sound.
Please advise!

Try changeing your TV out setting, found in the (Settings) of your ipod. Following Paragraph found in the iPod User manual (Page 98): http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
"Use these settings to set up how iPod touch plays videos on your TV. For more
information about using iPod touch to play videos on your TV, see “Watching Videos
on a TV” on page 39.
Turn widescreen on or off: Choose Video and turn Widescreen on or off.
Set TV signal to NTSC or PAL: Choose Video > TV Signal and select NTSC or PAL.
NTSC and PAL are TV broadcast standards. iPod touch displays NTSC 480p/PAL 576p
when attached to a TV using a component cable, or NTSC 480i/PAL 576i using a
composite cable. Your TV might use either of these, depending on where you bought
it. If you’re not sure which to use, check the documentation that came with your TV. "
Hope that helps,

No audio or video from iPod to TV with Component AV cable

I have a gen 5 80gb iPod and a Samsung tv and I can't get my iPod to play on the tv with the apple component av cables. I have run through all the different ways to set up my iPod in the video settings page. Any help on this would be great. Thanks.

after further reading I found that you can't hook up a gen 5 iPod with component av cables.

Component Video Cable and Bumper Case

Just a head's up. If you have an iPhone 4 and a bumper case, the Component video cable will not fit properly when the bumper case is on. It inserts, but the cutout that fits the standard USB cable is too small for the plastic part of the cable that is larger on the Component Video cable.
When I tried to plug it in, I did not notice this the first time and got the "This accessory is not compatible" message. I also got B&W video. When I took the case off and the cable seated securely, I was able to get 420p video from the video I took with the camera. NOTE - The Component cable only supports 420p when playing on an NTSC TV. I was also able to see YouTube at 420p. I did not try anything else.
Hope this helps some of you avoid frustration

Yes I do live in Europe. But who says that Component Video Cable is a standart from USA or Japan. I have been using Component Video Cables to connect my DVD Player with my video projector since 2002. Component Video Cables are wisely used in Europe. And its the ONLY analogue way of transferring HD-Video (Plus DVI and HDMI)
What disturbs me alot is that on www.toshiba-europe.com they explain that my computer has:
Interfaces 1 x headphone
1 x DC-in
1 x line-in
1 x external monitor
1 x RJ-11
1 x RJ-45
1 x i.LINK (IEEE 1394)
4 x USB 2.0
1 x Monitor-in (line-in port)
1 x TV-antenna
1 x S-Video-in (Composite/Line-in)
1 x TV-out (s-video, Component-out))
1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)
Where is the Component-out ???Promise is a promise. Why do they say it if they dont give it?
Instruction manual also says that : D-Video port lets you transfer 525i(480i),525p(480p),1125i(1080i) or 750p(720p) data to external devices.
How can you transfer 720p with a Scart Cable?? It is impossible.... The only way that Qosmio can transfer 1280x720 picture is a Component Video cable.(Because it has no DVI port) How much does this cable cost anyway?? But the problem is NOBODY is producing it in Europe. I am writing to Toshiba-Japan. Since they are saying that my computer has Component-out so they must get me the cable....

Connecting ipod to tv through component av cable

can we connect the ipod video 5th generation to tv by using component av cable? I have tried but no video output. can anybody help. TQ

I am trying to connect my 5th generation 60Gb ipod to my Samsung Plasma HDTV using the Component AV Cable from Apple. I have enabled TV-Out in Video settings on the ipod.
I am finding matching the color schemes on the Apple AV composite cables and the TV does not work! Why would Apple make this non-intuitive?
I connected the Audio Component AV Cable, Left-Audio-White and Right-Audio-Red to the audio inputs on my TV matching the labels and color schemes on the TV. Intuitive setup but no audio.
I connected the Video Component AV Cable, Y=Green, Pb=Blue, Pr=Red to the video inputs on my TV matching the labels and color schemes on the TV. Seems like an intuitive setup. Hmmm...no audio or video.
The directions say connect the red, green and blue video connectors into the component video input (Y, Pb, Pr) on your TV. Okay so that is Y=Red, Pb=Green, and Pr=Blue. Connecting the Red video cable to Y on my TV resulted in Black & White video and audio. Connecting the Green Video cable to Pb and Blue Video cable to Pr results in a PINK video and audio?!?!?!?
Apple...you claim to make stuff that is easy to use...you blew it on this one! What is the magic to hook this up?

TS1409 What if I don't have the Apple Component AV Cable or Apple Composite AV Cable to connect my iPod to? Do I have to buy one to watch videos on my iPod?

What if I don't have the Apple Component AV Cable or Apple Composite AV Cable to connect my iPod to? Do I have to buy one to watch videos on my iPod?

Hi there,
I am assuming you have an ipod nano 6th gen (the small one with a touch screen)
unfortunately, the ipod nano 6 gen can not play videos whatsoever unless you hack it so even with a cable it does not work.
I hope this helps cus im new
(if other generation ipod nano, just reply and i will help again )

Ipod componant video cable.

Hi, i just got my ipod componant video cable and dock, and it worked fine untill i was messing around with my ipod and switched the tv signal thing to PAL(whatever that is) then had switched it back and no i get no video i just get lines and fuzz and snow and stuff on the screen, i get audio but no video, please help me.

NTSC is the tv broadcast format used in North America. PAL is the tv broadcast format used throughout most of the world. That answers your first question.
Here is what I would try. Reset your iPod by holding down the Menu and Center buttons simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.
Then after your iPod comes back to life, open the Videos menu and then go to the Settings menu.
Make sure your settings are as follows:
TV Out: Off
TV Signal: NTSC
Fullscreen: Off
Captions: Off
Now plug in your cable to the docking port and connect to the tv. If you are still in the video settings menu, you should see the TV Out item change to On. If not change it to ON.
Now try to play a video.
I suspect that if you change to PAL from NTSC or vice-versa while the cable is still plugged in that the output actually is not getting changed.

Component AV cable not working any more

So a few months ago I bought the Apple component AV cable for travel and home use and it's been working great with my iPhone 4. However recently I just tried it and it stopped working. I Plug it into multiple TVs and the video plays but it plays in black and white and plays as if the vertical went out like on an old fashioned TV, scrolling madly bottom to top over and over. The audio appears to play just fine. I did recently upgrade to 4.2.1 and I'm not sure if I tried it after that update. Anyone hear if the update killed the cable or is it mine simply died prematurely?

Try this.
Check Settings >iPod>TV Out. Look what it is set too. Judging by your symptoms, it is set to PAL. It should be set to NTSC.
Let us know if that helps.

Is there a Thunderbolt to Component Video cable / adapter for the new iMac?

Hello!
My church is looking to purchase a new iMac to run our presentation software.
We currently have a PC that has a graphics card which has a component-out cable. We connect that to a component video distribution amplifer to distribute to several HDTVs and a projector.
Is there a way to connect the iMac to a component video (Y, Pb, Pr or Red blue Green) input?
I understand that DVI is digital and Component is analog, but has anyone found a device, cable, and/or adapter that will do the job?
Thanks,
Randy

There's at least this one:

and the review says that it works with current Macs, but I can't verify.

Component video cable

just upgraded to iphone 4, pluggeg into my component video cable and nothing transfers to the screen, is the cable not compatable, do i need a different one?

I have the same problem. 1st I bought a 3rd party component cable at BestBuy, went home to my fairly new Samsung LCD HD TV. Tried both component hookups on the back. TV did not see the device. Frustrated went to Apple store yesterday and purchased the Apple component AV cable. This time the iphone4 acted like it was "sending"..by that I mean the play bar was moving and no sound or video was shown on the phone. BUT the TV says component 1 or 2: NO DEVICE IS CONNECTED.
I'm so frustrated. I also want to play videos I Make on the phone on my T.V.
Anyone?

What apps will work with the Apple Component Video cables ?????

I plan to order the Apple Component Video cables so I can watch the Netflix apps movies on my TV.
I know this app works with the cables but what else does?
The few apps I know of are:
Netflix
YouTube
included video app
but what else ?

Thanks. I did order it and it arrived yesterday. I have not done a lot but watched a couple things
with the Netflix app and I am very pleased.
The cable is only about 6 feet so I had to extend it but other than that I am pleased. Luckily, I already
had a 10' cable in the basement with connectors so now I can have my iPad where it usually is and
control things more easily.
A few more apps that work with it would be nice though. :>

Video mirroring iPad 2 + Component AV Cable

Can I use a Component Av Cable to video mirroring my iPad 2?
I have the VGA adapter an it works great for that purpose but I'd like better quality output than just VGA.
Have you tested this combination?
Thanks

Confirmed, the component cable does not support mirroring.
Also I don't know where consumers get it in their heads that VGA is worse then component.
They're both analog connections.
They can both do 1080p (1920x1080 or 1920x1200 (16:10 aspect)), VGA can actually go higher then that.
Some devices will look washed out with VGA, this is NOT the VGA standards fault, but rather that devices implementation. The Xbox 360 for example had this issue originally but it was fixed via a software update.
VGA and Component are definitely on their way out in the consumer space, but they're still widely used in the business world with older data projectors (VGA being most prominent).
As for mirroring, the HDMI and VGA adapters are your best friends with the iPad 2.
I believe the component cable could handle the mirroring, its just something on Apple's end that's preventing it. Perhaps because if you use component on an older non-HDTV it can only do 480i and perhaps that causes issues with the iPad trying to output to that resolution. Just a thought.

Iphone via TV out cables component av cable - docking station

I bought the mac component AV cables to hook up my iphone to my entertainment center. I had the docking station included with the iphone so i hooked it up to the cables I bought. I changed the setting in the iphone to output to the TV. I set the iphone in the docking station and it just played through the iphone. After some experimenting I found out it was the docking station that prevented me from hearing it through my entertainment center. I just hook the iphone directly to the cables I bought from MAC and it works fine. I would like to use the docking station though.
Any ideas or is a MAC issue?
thanks
Nixman

I wouldn't be surprised if you had to purchase a universal dock to get audio working through it. Not worth it in my opinion, especially since the cable already works for you.
