Dock + iPod Video Out

Hi all,
can anyone tell me if while the ipod is docked, the video out on the ipod can be used to view photos/videos ?
Thanks
Chris

I'm working on a similar problem.
When I connect a dock connector with usb charger the a/v out still works.
But when I connect the dock connector from my cars interface (which takes control of the ipod) I lose the a/v output from the 1/8" jack and headphone.
I am considering removing pin 8 on the dock (Video) in the hopes this may work. But I am concerned it is a software issue where if an "accessory" like head unit interfaces take control of the ipod then it shuts off the a/v output.
I wish their was a menu setting for this as all I need is to split off the video signal.
I'll post if I find a solution.

  • Does ipod nano work with ipod photo dock, s-video out?

    Does the ipod nano work with the ipod photo dock, with an s-video out? Will apple make one for the nano specifically?

    The iPod nano cannot show photos on an external device, I suspect Apple have not built this feature into the hardware. The options for showing to a TV are not in the photo menus either.

  • Universal dock s-video out to tv

    Does anyone know if you can use the video out on the universal dock to see what music/song is currently playing? I wanted to use my ipod like a jukebox and display everything on my tv. I have everything hooked up right and the settings are right. I wonder if there is something wrong with my ipod or if the video out is only for photo's and video's.

    Video out is only for photos and videos on the iPod.

  • Ipod Video out to TV

    I connected my Ipod Video to the TV via a composite video cable from the line out jack on top of the Ipod to the RCA jacks on the TV. The movie played but the motion of the movie was consistently slurred (like a slow internet connection). Why is this happening? Is it the Ipod, video cable, or something else?

    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.

  • IPhone & Universal Dock - No video out after resume from pause

    OK - original 16GB iPhone, latest universal dock and Apple Composite cable, hooked to a 42" Sony LCD TV. iPhone is at latest revision.
    Used to be that if I used the remote to pause a video, I could wander off, make a cup of coffee, and when I came back, even though the iPhone was locked, I could press play on the remote and carry on where I Ieft off. Recently though, when I try to resume from the paused state, I get sound but no video and I have to walk over to the docked iPhone, unlock it, and then I get video out.
    I can only assume that this bug was introduced (or the previously working feature was removed) by a software update. Whatever the cause, it is a pain.
    The cynic in me would assume that it is Apple's sneaky way of reducing the feature set to below the minimum expected so as to drive users to buy an Apple TV. The optimist in me assumes it is a bug and it CAN BE FIXED IN THE NEXT RELEASE!
    Anybody else experienced this issue?
    Message was edited by: TheFamousJames

    I also believe this is a bug, but I found a workaround. I after starting the video you press the wake-up button, the iPhone screen goes off, but the video keeps playing. Now if you pause using the remote, you can also resume using the remote without having to unlock the iPhone.
    The weirdest thing about this is that after doing it once, you can unlock you iPhone and be able to pause and resume as expected. As soon as you change the video (that is, you turn the video out off) the iPhone forgets what he just learned and doesn't resume from the remote again.
    So as a rule I always turn the iPhone screen off after starting a video. So I'm able to use my remote nicely. I hope this works for you too... and that it gets corrected in the next SW version!

  • IPod Video out of sync with audio.

    Hey guys.
    I recently purchased a video ipod and was looking for ways to convert my videos & DVD's to work on my ipod.
    So far I've done
    cucusoft
    psp9
    videora
    pqdvd
    pocketdvix
    quicktime (freezes up on my pc, and takes ages to convert)
    and i've yet to find any way of stopping the audio and video from being out of sync (by anything from half a second to about 7 seconds) with one an other...
    is there a program or technique I could use that will enable me to watch video that is in sync with the audio?
    on a footnote, the quicktime does work but regulalarly shuts down on my computer and takes WAY too long to convert.
    Please help me out here guys as I am reaching the end of my tether.
    Thanks.
    /\Ben/\

    hi -- i've tried nearly all the programs you have, and have finally gotten the pq dvd to ipod video converter to work out of all of them. btw, the xilisoft one does NOT work, and i'm trying to get my money back from them, so buyer beware!
    anyway, i found the issue to be the frame rate -- on movies, i was able to use 30fps successfully (worked for star wars, for example), but on native tv show dvd's (such as sex and the city) i had to use 24fps.
    see if that works for you.

  • Video out wire diagram for ipod touch

    I have an older portable stereo with ipod dock and video out..  I want to rewire the stereo to charge and get video out from a 4th gen Ipod touch. I need to know what pins are used or a wiring diagram.    please help thank you..

    The hardware on the 4G can't support iOS 7.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB
    Also, you are not addressing Apple here. We are all just users like yourself.

  • New ITUNES Does not allow me to sync and wiped out song on my ipod video

    I was prompted to update my ITUNES software (7.02 I believe). Once I did this, it told me that I needed to update my Quick Time Software, which I also did.
    I did as I was told and took my IPOD Video out on my walk. It deleted every song on my out except for two. When I attempeted to re synch the IPOD it will not allow me to do it.
    The playlists on the IPOD appear to be locked.

Should I sync or will I lose all music?

  • Sync Nikon D200 w/ 4GB card runs iPod 40GB out of battery during sync..

    I am using a 4GB 133x Lexar Professional compact flash card in my Nikon D200 and I am syncing directly to my 40 GB iPod. On a recent session, I filled up the d200 4GB card with about 750 images and then I attempted to sync directly to my iPod using the iPod usb / camera adaptor. Well, with so many images, the transfer consumes so much battery power that it runs the iPod completely out of batteries before it completes the sync process. When this happens, I recharge my iPod and it won't allow the sync to restart where it left off and wants to start the process from the beginning again. You can not browse that imported 'roll' either from the iPod - but it does take up disk space on the iPod. I have about 10 GB of these temporary photos on my iPod that I want to retrieve.
    My question is - how / where do I access my photos that are 'in the queue' on my iPod as a result of these transfers that failed mid stream?
    Side note #1: File transfers from the d200 to the iPod containing about 350 images (about 2GB total) are able to be transferred successfully without completely discharging the batteries.

    Good news - I solved my issue - the images are not corrupt, they are just placed in a folder on the root of the iPod. I completely understand your point of view on this but IMHO, using the iPod in this fashion is an awesome tool. I also think that is where Apple is going with it with it's file access features of the new version of iTunes. Granted, it's not for everyone and there may be 'better' means to do this, but here's my situation. I found it VERY useful as I was traveling out of the country where I had to cover 16 cities across three countries in just over 3 weeks. With all that travel (trains, planes, walking / hiking, cars, buses, etc), I had to be very aware of everything that I was carrying with me. 'Dumping' my D200 images to my iPod was great because 1) it lightened my load not bring the laptop 2) my iPod has an amazing rubber / safety wrap to minimize shock damage that I could synch with while traveling in any car / cab, etc… 3) I used the IPOD video out connection to display to photos onto televisions, projectors and computer monitors 4) it allowed me to listen to my language training audio sessions on the iPod. What a great combination - with the exception of draining all the juice from the iPod batteries!
    So anyhow, my problem is 'solved'. All my photos safely made it to my iPod (over 15GB!!!) and onto my production computer. From my layman's perspective, what happens when you transfer photos to the iPod from the d200 is that the iPod creates thumbnails (in some strange file extension that I can't recall the name of) of the images so you can browse and see your work on the iPod. Well if the connection is terminated unexpectedly, the database of thumbnails for that specific transfer session is not properly closed or created and therefore the thumbnails can't be displayed - making you think that the images are corrupted when you try to view them from the iPod. The transferred images are actually there - they just can't be see via the iPod display. If your source images aren't there or get corrupt, there are conversion software tools that allow you to convert the ipod thumbnail format (remember this is at a lower resolution that the original images) into tiff/jpg/gif formats if you wanted to do that but the thing to remember is that most likely the source images are actually on the iPod.
    I connected to my iPod via the USB cable, as saw that the D200 created a folder called "DCIM" and created subfolders for each transfer I tried. The folders were named "100APPLE", "101APPLE", etc… This is different from the 'Photo' directory contains the iPod thumb nail formats that are synched via iTunes.
    Granted, the trick to doing this is determine where the images stopped in its transfer. But in retrospect, I was amazed that I was about to copy on average about 1.5 GB of photos over before the batteries died. Next time I try this, I will simply synch after every session or maybe create different folders on the d200 instead of waiting to fill up my 4GB (or upcoming 8GB) cards before synching.

  • Nano iPod photo dock and S video out?

    Has anyone with an iPod photo dock slipped their nano into it to see if the photos will display on a TV (attcheed via S-video?)
    Since Apple didn't offer a video cable out for nano, I suspect it doesn't output slideshows, but it would be interesting to find out if the video signal gets sent to the dock connector. Easy way to test is to try to send the slide show out to a TV via ths S-video output of the dock.
    Any experience out there?

    Hi Dave,
    No, I did not get a response, but Apple did announce the "Apple iPod Universal Dock" with the release of the new iMac on October 12th (the "one more thing" press conference).
    The new dock replaces the old photo dock and supports ALL iPods with dock connector (including the nano and the recently introduced iPod with Video). The new dock retails for the same price as the old photo dock but is more feature rich.
    The new photo dock supports slideshows out via S-video, as well as video for the video iPods. It also includes a sensor that works with the same IR remote that ships with the iMac. This remote does NOT come with the dock, but is available as an accessory for the dock for $29. If you are buying the new iMac, there is no need to purchase another remote (unless you tend to misplace remotes
    Below is a description of the new dock from Apple's web site. The product doesn't ship for 3 to 4 weeks (as of Oct 23)
    Here are some of the things you can do with the Universal Dock:
    Connect the Dock to your computer with the cable that came with your iPod, then place your iPod in the Dock to sync and charge the battery. No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in.
    Connect the Dock to an electrical outlet using an iPod Power Adapter, then place your iPod in the Dock to charge the battery.
    Connect the Dock to a stereo or speakers using an iPod AV Cable or a stereo audio cable to play music from iPod.
    Control playback from a distance using the Apple Remote.
    Display photos on a TV or other video device using an iPod AV Cable or S-video cable if you have an iPod with a color display.
    Display videos on a TV or other video device using an iPod AV Cable or S-video cable if you have an iPod with video capability.
    Hope this helps!

  • Video out from ipod classic

    OK, so I have an Ipod Classic. I jsut got the DYNEX IPAVC cable, and that doesnt work (no video, audio only). I also have an Accurian Dock-same deal, no video, only audio. Ive read a bunch that the Classics require newer hardware to get video to work. However, it seems like all the cables on the apple store that should work have been discontinued? How on earth do i get the video to play on my TV? Please help...thanks....

    ill have to check that page out and see. i was on this page
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454
    and the composite and component cables say no longer available
    Apple Composite AV Cable
    (part number MB129LL)
    Apple Component AV Cable
    (part number MB128LL)
    but it looks like you are correct. thats cool.
    I had the TV Out setting to ON or ASK, and when i would do that, it would ask for the video out to be plugged in, even though they already were plugged in. I saw someone else had that same issue. I think its that these cables (The Dynex), even though they are advertised as such, do not work with the classic.
    EDIT: Is all i need the composite cable? I dont need the dock, correct?

  • 3rd generation iPod Touch and Video Out - "whoops!!!"

    Before I jump to any conclusions about Apple, here is my experience with the Video out operation of my brand new 3rd generation 64 GB iPod Touch. This is my third iPod and about a year ago I decided (at great personal expense) to purchase the Apple Composite AV Cable (despite the fact that you can buy copies of the cable on eBay for 1/10th the price). When I plugged this cable into my new iPod touch, the Video Out option was greyed out. I tried lots of different things but eventually gave up and went to the Apple Store to see what it said about compatability. Sure enough, the 3rd Generation Touch is the ONLY iPod, iPhone etc not mentioned. I call my friendly apple support person who says "*of course it will work, I am 100% sure*". I then jokingly asked if he would give me $1000 if he was wrong and begrudgingly he put me on hold "just to check". 15 minutes later (unusual for Apple) he came back to me saying that *I "might" be right but he was 100% sure that if I connected my cable via a Universal Dock it would work.*
    Now, before I go out and spend any more money on a Universal Dock, has anybody tried this? Why would apple make the change ONLY to the 3rd Gen iPod touch?
    I have noticed that there is one nasty non-apple cable on the market that claims it will work BUT it doesn't have the ability to charge...... besides I ONLY buy legit Apple products.
    Any comments?

    Wow Apple pulled tha last post almost as quick as it was written.
    I have been in the IT industry for 18 years, when I started out I read the Mac bible and got a job supporting 1000 macs (remember the wonderful days of the symbol of the little bomb and all you could do is re-install the OS - what a joke). We ditched the Mac due to limited application support (nothing has changed much has it). I did not look at another apple product for 15 years, got a Touch for free ( CC points) Firmware 2.2, loved the little bugger, had a whole new respect for Apple. Happily got 2 cables from eBay for $5.00 for both, video to the tv, charging, audio, best of all worlds. Then, I upgrade to version 3.01 for $5.00, what a deal, copy paste, etc. till I plug in my cables and nothing works anymore. Take it to the car for my FM receiver,. only mono now. Oh sorry you now have to dish out $50.00 for our cables (the /B version not the /A cause we even screwed our customers that bought our own cables) and oh ya you can only buy over priced FM receiver products that pay bloated license fees to Apple. Then we come to your story, you buy "Only Apple products" which do not work (check for the /A model of the cable, you need the /B (/B= Buy again?? Maybe) and then the support guy tells your to go out and spend yet another $50.00 on a universal dock and you are asking if you should do it. Sure spend another $50.00 for the chip enabled dock, it will work, hmm, I think I have put together a pc for less than $100.00

  • 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?

  • Video Out not working on Ipod Classic 80gb

    I can't get video out to work on anything. I have a relatively new Onkyo home theater with an iPod dock that has video out cables, and I can't get a picture to show up on the TV. Also, my gym has StarTrac cardio equipment which has video connectivity through a built-in iPod dock. Video is supposed to show up on the TV monitor attached to the cardio machines, but all I get is "no signal".
    Since I can't get either of them to work, is something wrong with my iPod?
    Thanks!

    When you want to show the video on your TV, have you selected TV out in the video settings options?
    If that's not the problem, check this page, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 to ensure you have the correct cable for your iPod, although you need to ensure you have identified your iPod model correctly. Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 if you're not sure because there is a crucial difference between the Classic and the 5th generation video models. (On the *iPod and iPhone: TV out support* page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 - look at the third table down, headed *Apple Component AV Cable with iPod Universal Dock or Apple Universal Dock* .) Notice that the Apple Universal Dock and Component cable combination works for an iPod Classic, but not for the 5th gen iPod. My point being; if the STarTrac device you mention has a built-in dock, perhaps it's designed for the iPod Classic, but if you have the 5th gen, it won't work.
    ... and no, I don't know why one dock is called the Apple Universal Dock, while the other is called iPod Universal Dock! Such a similar naming convention only leads to confusion. I know, I had to examine each box in my local store to find the iPod dock among all the Apple docks they had since they thought both docks were identical.
