Component AV Cable

I have a Sony Trinitron 32" CRT TV with component video in.
I just tried connecting an iPod Classic to the TV with the Generic Component AV Video Cable. I have audio...but no video.
Is something wrong here? Is the iPod Classic pushing out a signal? Is there a way to tell the iPod Classic that I want sent the image to the TV?
Thanks

I'm actually having the same problem, though I bought the specific Apple connectors, dock, and remote in a package, in connecting it to the yellow, white, and red a/v inputs on the front of my television I only hear the audio playback, no video appears on the screen. Though other devices I connect this way play back video. I would like some clarification on this also. The video playback on my ipod is fine, however with downloading movies, television shows,video pod casts and such I would like to get this to be able to work with our main television in the home. I would also appreciate any suggestions anyone would have. I've connected to other televisions in the house and I still just come up with audio, no video.
Thanks!

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.

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

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. :>

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?

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.

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 )

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.

Using the Composite/Component AV cable for slideshows

iPad 32G WiFi
Hi,
I plan to use the Composite or Component AV cable for slideshows in the Photo app. There is a setting (TV Out) for Videos in Settings, I will set it to PAL when I run the slideshows in Asia later this week.
Question: Once set, will this setting under Videos apply to the Photo app for slideshows as well, or this setting is only good for videos?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated! /Kenny

No problem
enjoy your magic machine

Using the Component AV Cable to Listen to Music Through the TV

I expect that this will be a simple Yes/No question but..
I have the Component AV Cable for my iPod Classic (120GB). It works fine for watching, videos and viewing photos, but is there any way for it to use the TV speakers to listen to music? If so, how?
Thanks in advance,
- Jamwllms.

I have 4 places where the red and white Audio cables could go:
The red and white audio slots for "Componant."
The red and white audio slots for "DVI"
The red and white slots for "AV In" (Typical yellow white red slots.)
The red and white slots in the SCART adaptor for "RGB"
Which of these four? I have previously tried all of them to no avail.
Thanks,
- Jamwllms.

IPhone 3G / Apple Component AV Cable / iTunes DRM Movies

Hello.
Can't seem to find a definite answer to this online. Would appreciate any assistance.
I purchase movies from iTunes on my MacBook Pro. Which then syncs them to my iPhone 3G. I would like to watch them on my HDTV without purchasing an Apple TV.
I have been looking at getting the Apple Component AV Cable accessory, to connect my iPhone 3G directly to the HDTV.
Will this solution allow me to watch my iTunes movie purchases ( DRM Protected ) ?

Awesome thanks! All my movies are SD, don't think you can buy HD Movies without an Apple TV?
