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.

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 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.

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?

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?

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 Nano Video-Out to TV (Via new Apple Component cable) DOESN"T WORK

It doesn't work on my nano. The sound plays fine, the video is distorted. It isn't the cable, since I have an iPod Touch that displays fine.
I've tinkered with the settings : Widescreen, NTSC, Fit to Screen, etc... none of it helps. Still shows a distorted image (like when a computer displays the wrong resolution on a screen, or the way a channel on Cable looks if you aren't subscribed to it).
Is my Nano defective? Am I going to have to rally up several other Nano users with similar issues, post it up on my blog?
Anyone can help me?
Also, my iPod Touch doesn't display photo transitions (cube, wipe, etc) only fades.... even though I've attempted switching the settings. Only works when the component cable is disconnected. Any help on this too?

Did you check the settings on the TV itself? Are you feeding the video through a A/V receiver?
Those may also be distorting your picture.
In my case, I'm going from my Nano>Yamaha A/V receiver>Mitsubishi 65" WS TV.
Once I set my receiver up, and set my TV to standard, I was getting a distortion-free picture (at least with the "Jack-Jack" short that I got free from iTunes). My setting in the Nano were WS & NTSC. Everything was cool (I was surprised on how good the picture looked, but then my Yamaha is great for upscaling).
I don't know if this helped, but if you list a little more about your config, I might be able to assit better.

Video output from iPod Touch (2nd gen) via AV Component Cable (no audio)

Hi, I'm trying to output a video from my iPod Touch (2nd gen) to my TV via a AV Component Cable.
Unfortunately the audio doesn't work, I'm sure they are all connected into the right places.
The video works, but I get no audio. (And no subtitles when closed caption is on)
Here is a link to an image of the TV connections from ImageShack:
http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/7280/img0204y.jpg
At the top left of the image, are what I assume to be the red and white audio ports, highlighted in red.
I plugged in the red and white audio connectors into those ports.
And towards the bottom are three ports, green, blue and red, also highlighted in red.
I plugged in the green, blue and red connectors into those ports.
I changed the input of the TV to Input 2, I see the video for the movie I'm watching on the TV but no audio. I tried multiple movies.
I've also tried changing the video output from PAL to NTSC and back again, turning Widescreen on and off and turning Closed Captions on and off. I also tried plugging in the red and white audio connectors into the row of ports just below the green/blue/red row, to see if that made any difference, and it didn't.
I tapped the bottom left button of the iPod Touch when plugged in to the TV and playing video and it came up with an option that was selected called ~"Audio Source: English (Stereo)"
Any idea's? Thanks.

Resolved... ThankYou

IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable

I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.

I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

Poor video quality with component cable streaming from iphone to tv

Purchased a component cable on the advise of someone at the online apple store. I wanted to stream Netflix, You Tube and HBO GO from my iphone 4 to tv. Both the video and audio or are terrible! There is a constant buzz despite the fact that all connectors are tight. The video is green, squashed and looks like a 20th generation copy of an old video tape. HBO GO will only show the opening screen (which looks great for some reason) but wont play at all. Netflix and YouTube have the above issues with quality. Is this the best the $45 dollar cable will produce? If so, I wish they would have told me that! Am I doing something wrong? If not, back to the store it goes!
I have limited bandwidth and was hoping to use my 3G (which is unlimited) to avoid overages if I chose to stream movies. Any help would be appreciated!

Which iphone do you have?
Netflix only provides this feature for iphone 4, ipod touch 4th gen and ipad.

Connecting iPOD classic to TV using Apple Component cable

I have a 80g ipod classic and an apple component AV cable. I am trying to connect this to an TV with component video inputs. This TV is not an HDTV. I have attached the bl gr r cables in the correct position. I am getting a scrambled picture for NTSC and a split picture for PAL. based on my location I am sure that I should be using NTSC.
I brought my iPOD into a local apple store and he was able to plug it in to an HDTV there with no problem so I'm pretty sure that niether the ipod or the cable is defective.
My question is:
Is the ipod classic only compatible with an HDTV using the component cable? If so, will it work using the composite cable?

The dock is only good so you can use the remote. I don't know what the problem is with your Standard TV's with Component Inputs ... I've tried two different ones, also different brands, and they worked. I did make sure to change the iPod Video Settings to "TV Size = Standard". If it's set to Widescreen, that may account for the problem.
Otherwise, I'd suggest returning the Component cables and getting the Composite ones ... or just get the Composite ones as well. Personally, I think Apple totally screwed us all over by not just adding ONE dang Composite Video out cable to the AV Cables and allowing the Component Out to have a HD/Standard switch, much like most of the Game Console AV cables available. I don't know why they didn't do this, especially since we've got about 2 years before EVERYONE starts upgrading to HD. I guess they're just hoping to rake in some extra money by not making the Component AV Cable more capable.

If Component Cables don't work then what will?

I'm trying to get my iPad to output slideshow/videos/Youtube/anything to my older TV using Apple component cables. The TV image appears scrambled/vertically mirrored for a millisecond or so and then nothing. Audio is perfect. Have tried various cable connection & source input selections on the tv but without luck. When connected to the 30 pin dock connector (to tv) videos don't display on the iPad although the progress bar does advance. This differs to photo slideshows which can be viewed on the connected iPad. Really don't want to pay for composite cables unless I'm certain they'll work. Anyone with a suggestion?

Dates aren't the determinants. Our Component AV cables drive a 2002 27" JVC just fine.

Ipod Classic doesn't play video with Component cables

I just bought a new Ipod Classic and I have it connected to my Denon receiver using the Denon dock. I am able to play music and movies from the ipod. But when I try to play movies thru my small LG tv (Apple red, rellow white component cable) I only get audio and only if I have it in the white docking station. Do I need to buy the composite cables to get the video? I do get a message stating I need to plug into a video source.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Have tried to completely restore the iPod to factory settings and then resync the video?
Restoring iPod to factory settings
Before you do that, try converting the video once more using iTunes' built in convert. To do this, highlight the movie and chooose Create iPod or iPhone version from the Advanced drop down menu. When the conversion process is finished, sync the new version over to your iPod and see if that helps.

Component cable problem

Hi!
I'm trying to connect my ipod touch 1st gen to my Samsung TV (LED series 5) using a Mac component cable. So far, I've only been able to watch and listen to videos, but unable to play any music.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Roberto!
Your best bet if you don't want voice over is to plug your iPod in to your computer and de-select voice over. However, If it got wet, there may be other problems. Try posting this as a new question, and be specific about what's happening. No doubt that lots of people will be interested and willing to help! Best of luck to you!

720P over component cable connection?

I am about to take the plunge and purchase an Apple TV but have one question that I would love an ansswer to before I makee the purchase. My Pioneer 50" plasma has two HDMI inputs that are both in use (one for the Time Warner cable box and the other for PS3/Blu-ray). One of the main selling points for me on the Apple TV is the ability to rent in HD (since Time Warner on Demand does not have such capability). I think I will probably still use the PS3/Blu-ray more often so I'm thinking of hooking up the Apple TV to the non-HDMI component input (the three color one -- sorry, I'm not very tech oriented). Am I correct that the HD rentals would look just as good as if the Apple TV were hooked up via HDMI (since the HD rentals top out at 720P)? Audio is not a concern since I will hook up an optical cable to my Bose 3-2-1 receiver regardless of video input. Basically, this is a long-winded way of asking if anyone gets 720P output on an Apple TV using a component cable. Many thanks in advance.

How about one cable for audio and video instead of 4 or 5 with component.(4 if using optical for audio, 5 if using stereo rca cables)
HDMI is much better since one cable will give you your audio and video. That alone is mor ethan enough reason to use HDMI.
