Connecting iPod directly to computer screen for video

Hi everyone
I would like to connect my iPod directly to my computer screen at work for watching videos after hours. Is there anyway (cable/adapter) to connect the iPod directly to the screen (DVI or VGA)?
I can't connect the iPod directly to the computer nor do I have a TV...
Many thanks

Depends on your screen. Some have ability to take RCA inputs. If yours does then get an iPod dock that supports RCA transfer.

  • Unexpected "Connect iPod touch to iTunes" screen

    I powered off my 2G Touch before flying to Argentina; then powering up again on arrival brought up a new-to-me "Connect iPod touch to iTunes screen", which no amount of button presses would get past.
    Luckily there was a PC where we were staying, and with iTunes installed, and with USB, so I was able to get going again, esp. since I'd disabled automatic syncing, though now everything was in Spanish. But,
    Q1: does anyone know what this screen really means?, and why it might have come up? [a wifi router was nearby]
    Q2: would a hard reset [hold sleep/wake and home buttons for 10 sec] worked to get past this screen?

    I have the same problem, getting the 'connect' symbol or icon while travelling. I just got off the phone and an unsatisfying conversation with Apple support. Apparently, this is a "rare?" problem that is caused when there is some kind of software failure on the iPod Touch, and that there is no way to get around it except connecting to iTunes on some pc somewhere, ideally your own PC and iTunes. This happened once before for me but I was home and just plugged it in. The iPod recovered, connected and synced with no error message at all. The rep at Apple support said there is no log or trace that can be retrieved, so the mysterious iPod Touch software failure will remain unknown. He said I could take it in for warranty service, but who knows if they could reproduce the problem. Maybe the new iPhone/iPod Touch software version will run better (or worse). ps, I tried all possible combinations of hard reset on the unit, but nothing else works to recover.

  • Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???

    Connecting the canon SX50 to HDTV for video playback???
    ok, Got this Camera, like it, except for a few confusing issues. I was told, in order to playback HD video onto my HDTV Samsung, with an HDMI4 on the left side of the TV, all I needed was a HDMI to HDMI cable.
     (#1) Shut off both TV and camera, plug the cable into this HDMI plugin, turn on the TV and Camera power supply, and it should recognize, then start paying.
    Well, I did it both ways, (#1) shut off,then turn on, and (#2) I just inserted the camera's HDMI to the HDMI4 while both were on, and tried opening up the Samsung's' Tools >Inputs, etc, and still nothing!
    Is there an easy way to accomplish this?
    The second issue i'm having , is how to shut off the slow motion playback, when viewing the videos, which were not recorded in slow--mo, and it's frustrating trying to playback in normal speed, but instead it plays in slow-mo.
    I'm not quite sure I'm recording in full HD...The payback is only 60i

    Thanks grazie!
    Well, i accomplished most of that and at least got the video on the display (Samsung Anynet HDMI3) But no sound!
    I was also able to control the SX50 TV Display with my samsung remote, kool.
    As far as the playbgack volume, I checked the camera, I did notice the OPERATIONAL SOUND was off, but when I played back the video on the camera itself, i did have volume.
    On that subject of Slow motion videos, if i'm watching each video, then see one playing back in slow-motion, does that mean i actually filmed it in slow motion, without knowing? ( i can send it through Pinnacle Studio 15HD and speed it back up, but theres no background volume anyway)  if i did unknowingly videotaped in slow motion, i bettter be more observant in the future.
    I'm going to increase that ''Operational sound'' on the tools / Camera and try to playback to see if I have any sound.
    I have a Yamaha 7.1 reciever, and TV, BD player,Time-Warner cable all is connected to this receiver....I was pushing all buttons for inputs to see which one would work for sound with video, but could not find any.  Thanks, or grazie grazie!

  • Is it possible to connect I pad to plasma screen for presentations if so what do you do

    I would like to connect my iPad to plasma screen for presentation purposes I have the connetor but cannot get an image on my tv screen any comments

    I have the componet (i.e. RCA plug) apple adapter and it will let me play music and movies onto my tv screen but it will not mirror the iPads screen on there.
    I just ordered another componet cable and an HDMI adapter from apple so I will have one on each tv in my house.  Still have two older style TVs in my house, only one LCD with HDMI and VGA.
    So if you want to play something on the screen I would say the HDMI adapter probably.  Next the VGA and don't really bother with the componet cable adapter.

  • Green screen for videos and movies

    i upgraded all the software for itunes and quicktime. using another post for 'green screen for video previews', i modified some settings in quicktime and one of them now has strips of static across the green. quite frustrating...

    I could be off the mark, but you may need to install the version of iTunes here: iTunes for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards).
    And then repair/reinstall QuickTime 7.7.6 for Windows.
    If that works for you then the next time Apple Software Update or iTunes tells you there is a new version revisit the first link. It should be updated with a new "for older video cards" version that will work with QuickTime.

  • Connecting ipod to new computer and using itunes library

    Can anybody help. Iam ready to throw my ipod in the bin. I recently bought a new computer and downloaded itunes onto it. When I connect my ipod it keeps saying the ipod is linked to another itunes library and it displays a new itunes library on the computer now with none of my old songs, but they are still on my ipod itself. I do not have my old computer either.
    The new itunes library that comes up will let me download music onto it but wont let me sync it to the ipod so i cant put anymore tunes on it. Any ideas?

    Connect your iPod to your new computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible - Windows version only)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • IPod to different computer to view video

    What do I need in order to use the iPod to connect to a different computer (doesn't have iTunes library), then view videos from iPod on that computer?

    Sony VAIO PCG-GRT250   Windows XP   5G 60GB Video iPod / iPod Shuffle

    Hey Dan...
    I'm interested in using some video clips for purposes at my office, , , therefore, can't load any software onto my work laptop (i.e. iTunes)......
    Was hoping there was some cable connection I could utilize to bring the videos up in Windows Media player via my iPod.....
    any chance of that?

  • Connecting ipod directly to amp in car

    i was wondering if connecting my ipod directly to the amp in my car using a cable with rca plugs on one end and a headphone jack on the other would create any problems for my ipod... anyone know?

    If you have the direct inputs to accept the audio, then it will not cause a problem.
    There are several similar methods to manage this:
    Direct connection via the dock connector or headphone jack of your iPod, to the mini-jack input (or AUX RCA input jacks) of your car stereo. Not many low/moderate-end cars have this feature yet, but it is becoming more popular. Some aftermarket auto stereo units may have this feature.
    There are also some after-market, moderate to fairly expensive direct interfaces, that hook into your existing car stereo to provide a high-quality, direct connection. Most will also power/charge the iPod. Pretty slick, but can be pricey ($80-$300). If money is no object, a clean way to go. Not very portable from car to car – if at all.

    Whichever you choose, power the iPod through your car’s DC power -- either from a power adapter, or as part of the combined audio adaptor. Have a method to secure the iPod to the dash/console/etc. See the reviews for all the various accessories at the iLounge
    You will also get better audio output if the dock connection plug is used, rather than the headphone jack. See Sendstation for a novel adaptor called a PocketDock. Others types are also available via this site.

  • Connecting ipod to new computer

    My old computer has broken and I have bought a new one. Is it possible to connect my ipod to my new compuer or will I lose everything on the ipod and have to start again?

    If you are using the iPod in manual update mode, your iPod is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes on a new computer. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    If you haven't transferred the songs from your old computer over to the new then there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

  • Connecting iPod mini to computer

    When I plug in my mini to the computer, it only charges--it does not update my songs. It doesn't even show that it is connected under the side toolbar on iTunes.
    What could the problem be?

    When you plug your iPod into the computer in iTunes click "File" and then go down to "Update iPod". Maybe your iPod is set to manually update instead of automatically.

  • Nothing happens when connecting iPod to the computer

    I have also upgraded to iTunes 5.0, and now nothing happens when I try to connect my iPod to the computer. iTunes works fine; I can play music in iTunes, and no error messages. But my iPod doesn't show.... Any suggestions how I can solve this? Please?

    hi Jane!
    okay, here's another couple of troubleshooting documents:

    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93499
    ... but if you're still having trouble after this, it would be a good idea to post over in one of the "Connecting your ipod" forums, so we can get you some concentrated attention on your situation from the connection gurus.
    it would help give context if you provided a reference link back to this thread. there's instructions on how to do that given here:

  • Connect ipod with new computer

    I have an existing ipod classic with about 4,000 songs.  I have downloaded iTunes to a new computer.  Can I simply plug the ipod into the computer (Windows PC laptop) so that my Library and iPod will sync or is there another procedure?
    Thanks!

    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
