Confirm Apple Composite Video Cables Work

Before I shell out the $50 for the Apple Composite Video cable set I want to confirm that they will actually work to send video, TVshows, Movies from my 3rd Generation 8Ghz Nano Ipod to a TV through the composite (three plug) video plugs. Do they really work?

Yes - it works very well

  • Why won't the Apple Composite AV Cable work with ipad2?

    I got the Apple Composite AV Cable for our iPad2 but it does not seem to work.  The cable does not work with either our iPad2 or the iPod Touch 2G.  Ironically, the cord *does* work with our ancient iPod 80GB Classic. 
    The iPad does not show settings for PAL or NTSC or any other settings I could possibly change to try and get the video out to work.  What am I missing?
    IPod Touch is set for NTSC and Widescreen has been tried both off and on with no video shown on the TV.
    The videos do still show on the iPod/iPad screens while playing.

    Apparently the answer is no? I guess for me this is the #1 reason to not buy an iPhone 5. I switched to the iPhone specifically for the component (RCA) cable with charging capabilities for my car audio / nav needs. Android did not have a good solution and Apple did. I am sure there are a hand full of  folks who bought the Pioneer App radio who are stuck as well. Apple needs to make an airplay to component adapter or a cable for the iPhone 5. Newsflash  I am not switching my head unit out for a new phone. Don’t get me wrong I love air play and own an apple TV but hotel rooms, cars, boats and points of usage not going to have air play in all instances. Even if a cable comes out the “digital” port seems telling that component is going away. Time will tell.

  • What composite video cables work with iphone 3GS firmware 3.0??

    I want to buy the cheapest possible AV composite cable for my iphone 3GS with firmware 3.0.
    What cables can I buy that'll work with these requirements??
    Thanks!

    You need to purchase the Apple Component AV Cable or the Apple Composite AV Cable. 3rd party cables won't work with the iPhone - there's an encryption chip in the the Apple cables that is required.

  • Does the Apple Composite AV Cable work with Sky Sports TV App?

    I have 'The new iPad' and was wondering if I bought the Apple cable that links your iPad to your television if it would be able to stream content from the Sky Sports TV app? The content is similar to that of ITV Player BBC iPlayer apps ect

  • Old Composite Video cable (Tangerine iBook) not compatible with Video iPod

    I discovered a little surprise.
    Despite being exactly identical on both ends of the cable, an old Apple Composite Video cable, originally purchased for a Tangerine iBook, is not compatible with Video iPod.
    Anybody confirms such situation, or is it just my Video iPod with a faulty video output?

    The cable may look the same but it's wired differently. Please see this for more info :

  • Apple Composite AV cable doesn't work with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3)

    Hello,
    Just purchased composite AV cable from apple store but it doesn't play videos on TV but audios only,
    Is it firmware or my cable prlbme?

    I used the original Apple composite AV cable with my iPhone 3G (OS 3.1.3) for a while and it worked fine for video playback in the iPod app. But after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4 the cable stopped working. Video on my TV remains black and is shown on the iPhone's screen instead of the TV, and sometimes the iPhone tells me that this accessory is not designed to work with this iPhone. What did Apple do? Is there anyone who can confirm this change in behavior? Apple still recommends this cable in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=en_US
    Regards,
    Marcus

  • Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

    Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. I'm only getting sound no video can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
    I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).

  • Composite video cable doesn't work...

    I have a video composite cable (one of those cables which have three heads, red, white and and yellow, on one end, and a single head, like a headphone cable, with three "rings" on the other) for my video camera, and I tried it with my iPod and my TV. It doesn't work. It works when playing music (with a little "hissing", so I guess after all it doesn't "quite work"), but it doesn't for video. When I switch off the TV out of my iPod and play video, the TV's got the sound and the iPod's got the image. I tried that cable with some other stuff too, like my digital camera and it works. I thought all those composite video cables are the same; I thought all video composite cables work for iPod but apparently it isn't the truth, because if it is, my cable would've worked. So what's wrong? Is it my cable? Or worse, my iPod?

    As noted above, you need to switch the outputs.
    Apple did this so you can use regular headphones with the iPod.
    If you plug standard headphones into a video camera, it will not work correctly because the video camera jack is wired differently than the headphones.

  • Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

    I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
    Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
    Please help me.

    Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
    I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
    Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.

  • IDevices and Apple composite AV Cable - Not Working

    Hi...
    I've had problems connecting my iPods (iPod 30GB Video 5.5Gen, iPod Touch 1st and 2nd Gen, with latest capable software up to date) and my iPhone 4 (iOS 6 up to date) to my Samsung LED TV Series 5 using the original, Apple, composite AV cable. Everything is plug in, the way it should be, according to the manual. Devices charge and the Settings menu even displays the TV Settings... It shoud work right?
    No... No audio (tried to play some music), no photo, no video (no images, no audio), nothing...
    The composite AV cable is fine and works on a crappy 15 to 20 year old CRT TV (mp3, video and photo).
    I've adjusted every TV-Out setting there is, on both LED TV and iDevices with no result...
    Don´t know waht else to do... Need help, plz... Any suggestions????
    Thanks

    I'm confused. You mean that you're expecting to charge your iPhone by connecting it to the TV with a Composite AV cable? That's not going to work; a composite video cable doesn't supply power to the power input pins on your iPhone's dock connector.
    Plugging the iPhone to the USB wall socket directly using my regular cable gives the same error so I guess it is the voltage?
    Amperage, most likely. There quite likely is insufficient power from that USB port to charge the iPhone (something not infrequent with computer USB ports, and we know nothing about what that USB port is hooked up to.
    BTW, to me it would be very risk to plug an iPhone into some USB port about which you know little or nothing. I'd suggest you just use the charger included with the iPhone.
    Regards.

  • 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 Touch gen1 with apple composite av cable sound comes out but no video?

    I have a iPod touch gen1 and ipod touch gen2 and with gen1 IPT audio comes out but no video on the tv. Whereas the gen2 works fine. I have brought the Apple Composite AV cable about 3 days ago.

    Your av composite cable isnt compatible with the ipod touch 4G, i assure you that. It will work on older devices like what you have said... But ipod touch 4G is completely a high tech device in present generation. Apple cables/cables are compatible specifically to a device. Try to buy cables conpatible with iphone 4 above and i assure you it will perfectly work with an ipod touch 4G. Iphone 3gs model is inferior to 4th generation models. So maybe the cable cant function properly on higher models because its firmware, specs., etc. is more advanced.
    -based on my opinion and experience only.

  • 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. :>

  • Displaying video using "Apple Composite AV Cable" to an in car DVD player

    Has anyone had any success or knows of any in car dvds/screens that will enable you to display video from an iPhone/Touch. Im assuming we would need to use something similar to Apples "Apple Composite AV Cable". To be honest I really only want to show videos from my iPhone/touch... if the screens didn't have dvds I really would care..
    Thx

    Your best bet would be to find a car head unit with either a composite or component input. From there you would just use the appropriate cable from the Apple Store.

  • I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable.  No success.  Any thoughts?

    I am trying to connect my ipod classic to a tv (sony bravia 1080p) and have tried many cables including the Apple composite AV cable with the 30 pin connector on one end and three RCA connectors on the other.  Audio works but video does not.  The ipod classic screen says to connect to device when it is already connected. No success.  Any thoughts?
