Component Cable Support?

I have a non-Apple component cable output that worked (and still does) for my old iPod video, but I know my new Classic only supports the Composite Cable.
The new 1.0.3 update mentions Video Out Bug fixes, but when I tested it with the new update, it still doesn't work. Does anyone know if this has been fixed, or if they are planning on fixing it ...
Or is this one of those things where they don't want to make it work with the component video-out cables because it means they can try to make us buy a new set of cables?

There are both component and composite cables available for the new iPods. Older, third party cables that plug into the dock connector, as far as I know, still aren't supported though I could have missed something. Cables that plug into the headset jack just aren't going to work and software won't change that as the hardware in the jack was changed.

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the Component and Audio ports on my TV?

I have an Retina display MacBook Pro with HMDI out port. I also have an HDMI to Component cable with Audio Plugs. How can I get HDMI out to work with this cable when plugged into the MacBook Pro and connected to the TVs Component and Audio in ports.

Will not work. To my knowledge, dual converting like that isn't supported. The Mac must detect the connected video output device and that sort of info cannot be done across an analog component uni-directional connection.

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 ?

IPod Touch & Dock - no audio Component Cable

Hi all.
I have a Component Cable to connect iPod Touch (1st Gen) to stereo for audio and it works perfectly when I plug the cable directly into the iPod but if I put the iPod Touch in the Apple Universal Dock then connect the dock using the Component Cable (red/white) to the stereo I get no sound at all.
The dock works correctly if I connect it using a 3.5mm cable to the stereo.
Does anyone know why this would happen when it is plugged into the dock?
Thanks

TV out is not supported by the Google YouTube app. Per:

1. Use YouPlayer by Homegrown Software Ltd
2. Use the Apple Digital AV Adapter because my Apple device can mirror.
3. Use the Apple VGA Adapter because my Apple device can mirror.
Note that nley the 5G iPod supports mirroring.

Component cable

Using the component cable with my IPad and Panasonic Viera HDTV - no picture, sound only. The five cables are in the correct place and in securely. I have changed the IPad video settings to try both PAL and NTSC (just in case) and widescreen on and off. Still no joy. Tried booting up IPad after connection made - still nothing. Wanted to try changing the screen resolution on the Panasonic TV but this does not seem possible. Has anyone any ideas what the problem might be?

The video out on the iPad does not mirror the iPad screen and only some apps display some information on the remote screen. Here i a list of the native apps that display:
Videos, on iPad or iPod touch (4th generation), or iPod, on iPhone 4
Photos—Slideshow/Video playback only
YouTube
Safari—Video content on webpages
Keynote (iPad)
There are also other apps that do more. It sounds like you are trying to display something that is not supported by the app you are using.

No picture using component cable

Hi All!
Sorry if this has been discussed many times before.
I have a TV without the ability to use HDMI, only SCART and I've bought a component cable in order to connect my Apple TV with my tv. I just can't seem to get any picture and I've already tried cycling through resolutions by following the troubleshooting (holding down menu and for 6 seconds and wait 2 minutes) without any result.

Unfortunately it seems (although I might be wrong) that the cable is intende o work the other way around, ie the scart end would go into a compatible device such as a DVD player with component over scart and the RCA jacks would go into a tv. This is largely to cover the situation I mentioned before where scart on tv sets is usually composite.
That doesn't mean to say that the cable couldn't work the way round you are using it, I think it would, except that it would only work where the scart connector on the tv worked with component. As I said before 99% of scart connections on tv's are composite only. If your tv is one of those that supports component over scart, you may well have a setting on your tv that can toggle between composite and component over scart. You will need to refer to your tv manual to find this out.
If you have an RCA-RCA cable (any one will do) and you have a yellow composite connector on your tv, you can check if the tv is working properly by connecting the yellow port on the tv to the green port on the tv with the said cable, whereby you should get a black and white picture.

Does anyone know why I can only get sound and no video with a compatible component cable?

What apps are you trying? TV out video only works with apps that support TV out. If the app does not support TV out you will still get aoudio via the component cable

Convert from component cable to Stereo A/V + S-video for AppleTV

Hello,
We are looking for a converter cable, box, hub that will convert from component cable (red/blue/green) to Stereo A/V + S-video. We are hooking up a AppleTV box to an older Sony WEGA TV.
Anyone heard of such a product or work around?
We have not made the move to HD and would be bummed if this cannot work.
Thanks.

http://www.svideo.com/appletv2tv.html has a product that allegedly does this. I haven't used it, so you might want to do some more investigation before handing over the cash! It looks a lot cheaper than other Component->Composite converters out there. You would connect the yellow output from this box to the yellow input on the front of your TV (video). The red and white connectors on your AppleTV to the red and white on the front of your TV (audio). The unit also has an S-Video output, which you should use in preference to the composite if your TV supports it (higher quality).
HTH.

Av Component Cable with the iPod Mini?

My son bought me the AV Component Cable for my Mini to link only the audio with my RCA inputs of my preamp. I couldn't find anything in Apple Support that says I can do this, and I talked with an Apple tech rep who didn't know but thought by referring to the specs for the Mini that it is NOT compatible. Now granted, I could just open the box and find out, but I thought I 'd ask to see if anyone has tried to use this cable for this purpose and succeeded or failed.
Any takers?

AV Component Cable - I need to know more details about this cable.
But if it came with an iPod dock (the dock that allow you to place your iPod mini with it), what you need to do is to connect the AV component cable between the dock and your preamp as follow:-
1.The jack of the dock (in red colour) -> AV component Cable -> Audio in (or CD/Tuner) of your Preamp (in red colour of Right Channel)
2. The jack of the dock (in white or black colour) -> AV component Cable -> Audio in (or CD/Tuner) of your Preamp (in white or black colour or Left Channel)
In case it did not come with the dock then what you need to do is either :-
A. Plug your cable with the dock of your iPod Mini (the buttom of your iPod) or,
B. Plug your cable with the headphone jack of your iPod Mini
Then connect to other end of your cable with your Preamp (Audio in)..

A/V Component cables no longer able to work with iPhone 1st Generation?

I purchased the Apple A/V Component cables to be able to hook my iPhone up to my stereo at work and TV at home. Before the 2.0.1 update, it worked ok. No hassles or problems what so ever. Now, after the 2.0.1 update, I can no longer use this device for what it seems it was made for. It seems that now it's a $50 iPhone charger and that's about it. Anyone know of any fix or maybe something I did to make this happen? I called Apple and they said "that's odd, it should be working" and then asked if I could bring it in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems it's not just the A/V Component cables that aren't working with the new upgrade. Apparently some other people have had issues with docking stations and speaker extensions after the upgrade. Anyone?

IPod Classic, component cables, TV, does not work, help...

I just bought the nifty Apple component cables for my 160GB iPod Classic and it is not sending video properly to my TV. I plug my DVD player component inputs into the TV, it works. I plug the iPod Classic component inputs in and I get sound but a black & white, swirly, barely distinguishable image.... and yes, I have triple checked that the cords are correct, and tried changing them around.
Could someone shed some light on this? I plugged the component cable set directly into the iPod, so its not a dock issue, and I checked that the iPod is set to NTSC...

i figured it out a while ago

I use "hdmi to component converter" to connect apple tv with my old plasma tv by component cable. Sound is ok but the picture split 2screens left and right. Still can't fix it. Anyone can help or has any idea? should I try convert to av?

Your TV hasn't entered some odd picture in picture mode has it with two 'inputs' side by side?

Does Mac Mini's HDMI-to-DVI cable support analog DVI monitors?

The Apple website shows that the new (late 2012) Mac Mini comes with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable in the box :-)
The DVI video connector standard supports both analog and digital video signal modes, but not all models support both modes.
I have an old PC monitor with a DVI connector, which is probably analog only. Will this work with the new (late 2012) Mac Mini?
In other words: does Apple's HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable support all DVI monitors, or only those with a digital input?
Many thanks!
- Martin

Your right about the DVI standard support both analogue and digital. The three types are
DVI-A (analogue only)
DVI-D (digital only)
DVI-I (supports both)
In this case the HDMI to DVI adaptor will only support digital DVI. This is because the HDMI port only supports digital.
Generally monitors with a DVI port support digital DVI, if you compare the socket and pins layout on the monitor to the one on the Mac adaptor if they are the same layout then that should indicate the monitor indeed supports digital DVI.
Note: The maximum resolution supported by the Macs HDMI port is 1920x1200, if your monitor supports a higher resolution then you should get a Mini Displayport to DVI adaptor or if needed a Mini Displayport to Dual Link DVI adaptor (for the highest resolutions).

IPhone 4 and Apple Component Cables do not work

I have an iPhone 4 and my Apple Component Cables no longer work.
I have had an iPhone 3G since July 2008, and a first gen iPod Touch. They both have and continue to work with the cables.
I have the Component cables hooked up to an Apple universal dock... it's been a great way to watch movies and TV shows on my bedroom TV, as the remote control works through the dock. I've become so accustomed to using it, I no longer even use a DVD player (all my media is digital). That's the main reason I upgraded to a 32Gb ip4. I have tried plugging the cables directly into my phone, rather than going through the dock, to no avail.
I am now on my second replacement iPhone 4, and the Genius at the Apple Store had the same issue with his demo unit. Oddly, the ip4 appears to work fine with the lower quality composite cables, but not at all with the HD compatible component cables. My question is, have any of you experienced the same problem? How is this not a bigger issue? (I can't find any threads about this issue), Am I the only person who uses his iPhone this way?
I have been in contact with Applecare. A nice rep has been trying to help me, but as of yet, has not been able to offer an answer. On the Apple Store, you can clearly see iPhone 4 listed as a compatible device for the cables.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

I know this is of absolutely no use to you at all but...
Same here!
Paid nearly 40 quid (GBP) for the component video cable from apple, same for the universal dock!
Nothing, nada, nought... through my theatre system or direct into the TV.
Shame really, iPhone 4 latest patches, really BIG TV (latest, greatest everything input's) fairly simple theatre system (again, everything inputs) but no joy at all getting a picture (video) out of the component cable.
Bah...
I read somewhere there could be a fault in the iPhone 4 OS, but I'd have thought that they would have fixed this by now!
NOTHING WORKS!!!
This is not a good 40 quid value !!!
Is there a solution?
