HT1454 iphone 4, composite cable no longer works with ios6 update

I have the iphone 4, and I used an apple composite cable to watch youtube, videos, etc on my TV through an AV input. But when I upgraded from IOS 4 to IOS 6, it no longer works. Says something along the lines of "accessory not supported" or close to that. The iphone used to go into a display mode, where nothing shows on the phone's screen, and everything shows on the TV. But now it doesn't even do anything but give me an error message. Any ideas?
In sum, it worked before, but updated, and now no longer works.

It was the cable connector seating.
It looked fully attached, but on removal and FIRM attachment it worked.
If the AV iPod connector is not fully seated you get this error. The old iPod connector used a locking connection with a positive click, the AV cable uses a lockless connector that differs from the newer lockless iPhone connector. I suspect the AV cable connector was a transitional design that may have more connectivity issues.

  • My Apple AV composite cable no longer works with my 3G iPhone. Anyone else?

    I purchased an Apple composite AV cable from my local Apple store shortly after I bought my 3G iPhone.
    It worked then.
    I haven't used it much, but this morning I tried it again.
    This time I got a message something like this:
    "This accessory was not made to work with the iPhone. Would you like to turn on Airplane mode to reduce interference?"
    It works with my older 3rd generation iPod.
    This isn't an after-market cable. I bought it (yes, $50) at an Apple store because I knew Apple had shut out non-Apple connectors with the new generation devices.
    I've seen various messages about failures of the AV cables after the 2.1 update. Most refer to aftermarket cables, or Apple cables purchased indirectly (may be counterfeit).
    Has anyone else run into this?
    I suppose I'll have to go back to the Apple Store with the cable and receipt and see what they can do about it.

  • Official Apple Composite Cable DOESN'T WORK with iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.2

    I've tried everything and I cannot make the official apple composite cable (MB129LL/B) work with my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2.
    I get no video output AND no sound as if the cable is simply not made for my 3GS
    What do need to do to get composite video output on my 3GS 3.1.2????

    "The 3GS will not work with a Composite cable. It will only work with a Component cable. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454"
    I have had no luck with getting the component cables to work with my 3GS. They are the Apple branded cables, not some knockoff. I would be angry if I needed to buy the universal dock to get them to work. Per some of the forums I've read, it is not needed. Also, from all the reading I've done on the TV out feature in this forum and others, it appears to be a hit or miss whether it works or not.

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself. 

  • VGA cable no longer working with IOS8

    VGA cable that I have (that used to always work), no longer works with ANY projector.  Either get zero recognition or popup saying it "doesn't support that application".  It is an Apple VGA cable.  Thoughts?  Thank you....

    Other folks have reported problems with older cables when using 8.x.  You can wait and see if apple eventually fixes or go to an apple store and buy a new cable.  Got to get the latest firmware on the cable. You could buy apple tv or chromecast ( more difficult to configure ).

  • Charger cable no longer works with iPhone 5s

    Hello:
       My white lightning iPhone charger cable used to work to charge my iPhone when I plugged one end into a powered USB and the other end into the iPhone.
    Now, if I am lucky, I will get a message stating that this device is not supported by Apple and may not charge this iPhone.
    Is there any setting, to turn off this bypass, so that my charger cable  can be used to charge my phone?
    Or what is missing from my charger cable which allowed it to charge fine in an earlier version of IOS that no longer work in 8.1.3?
    Thanks in advance

    Clean the squashed fluff and debris out of the phone's charging port with a wooden tooothpick or similar. Be gentle.

  • Composite cable doesn't work with iOS 8 on ipad

    I have the iPad3 and a composite cable Video/audio.  I have been able to use these to watch videos from the ipad on my tv. Both sound and video worked, until I upgraded to IOS 8. Now it does not work.

    What product are you using for that? I'll check to see if it's Apple approved. If it's not, then havimg it stop working is possible.

  • Menu bar no longer working with IE update

    With the recent update in IE my main menu bar is no longer working, the "hover" function is not working and looks like the links are broken, but the links do work if you actually click on them.  From my vista machine it is OK but from my XP machine it does not show as being a link. The submenu's however do still work, here is the code, the first line is from the main menu and doesn't work, the 2nd line is a submenu and does work.
    Here is the site www.conundrumadventures.com
    From the main menu this is the code for "Adventures":
    <td id="002" class="link4" onclick="location.href='Teambuilding-Exercises-Adventures.php'"; onmouseover="changeC('002','link4h');" onmouseout="changeC('002','link4');" >Adventures</td>
            </tr>
            <tr>
    From within the adventures page here is the code for the submenu for  "Conundrum Metro":
              <td id="303" class="Sublink4" onclick="location.href='Outdoor-Team-Building.php'"; onmouseover="subchangeC('303','Sublink4h');" onmouseout="subchangeC('303','Sublink4');" >Conundrum Metro</td>
            </tr>
    Any ideas how to fix the main menu bar?
    Thanks
    Lynn

    I recommend doing away with your mouseover/mouseout links and convert to using Cascading Style Sheets.
    Here is a link to CSS tutorials: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html
    You don't say whether you are using Dreamweaver CS4 or an earlier version, but even if you are using that earlier version, you can type the code in yourself. Look especially at the tutorial chain "Designing with CSS", as there is a module that talks about a menu bar and how to make the links.
    Best wishes,

  • Why do keyboard short cuts no longer work with ios6?

    I use Keyboard Shortcuts very often.. Well, I did use them often with iOS5...
    How is it that with iOS6, it comes with omw = on my way preprogrammed but auto correct assumes you're trying to spell "one."
    This issue along with the Maps debacle is very frustrating to deal with. Is this the start of the downfall of Apple? It seems like a small detail but if a small issue like this is overlooked, what else will be forgotten about?

    Further to the above point. ALL of my previously used shortcuts are no longer working.

  • Yahoo "hyperlink" button is no longer working with latest update 3.6.6 yahoo edition 1.7

    I was prompted today to update Firefox to version 3.6.6, Mozilla Firefox Yahoo! Edition Yahook 1.7. After I installed the update, I noticed that in Yahoo! Mail some of the buttons above the message field are no longer active. I'm no longer able to click the "emoticon" icon, the "hyperlink" icon, or any of the remaining alignment buttons to the right of the previously mentioned. Those buttons have become locked, "unclickable" and they no longer show any alt text, therefore I'm unable to tell you the exact names of the buttons. (My main concern is the "hyperlink" icon.)
    However, I AM ABLE to click the following buttons:
    -Spell check
    - Font face
    - Font size
    - Bold
    - Italic
    - Underline
    - Text color
    - Highlight color
    (and that's where the working buttons stop)
    Any assistance would appreciated.

    It's not a hardware issue. I have the exact same circumstance. After being prompted and then updating the software on my shuffle, it quit working. All I get is the green-orange flashing light. iTunes recognizes it's connected, restore works, and syncing works, but the shuffle does not work.

  • Nano no longer works with iTunes, Updater

    I got my nano, hooked it up, put music on it, everything worked fine. I was showing my wife how the photo bit worked and the screen went all black pixels and froze. I did a reset and now I am stuck with what I have on the thing. Windows sees the iPod, but neither iTunes or the updater can communicate with it. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, I have tried on other computers as well, no luck. Come on man! Now I get to send it back and wait for another one, you would think for $250 these things would work a little better. Anybody else have this problem?

    Welcome to the forums!
    Is there an Apple store near you? If so I would go there and meet with their Geniuses <sp>. They can help you sort it out. If they find that the iPod is truly broken they may just offer a replcement on the spot.
    The only suggestion I can offer is to switch the hold switch off and on a few times and do the reset again. Sometimes that will work when just a simple reset will not. Reset is the menu and center button at the same time.
    I know how it feels to be unlucky with a new gadget. Have to keep in mind that they have made millions of these and a few will have problems.

  • Windows magnifier no longer working with latest update

    Hi Team
    '''Accessability Issue'''
    Since I have had an update from your site, I have lost the focus on the windows magnifyer only when I use Firefox. It works on IE and every other app that I have.
    I have gone into the magnifyer settings and made sure everything is set up right and it is all fine.
    Even typing this question the focus seems to be at least 2 lines below where it should be.
    Can you help please?
    Regards

  • Flash player no longer working with latest update?

    I'm running Google Chrome with Windows 7, and after Adobe updated a couple days ago, videos on certain websites (ex. Vudu) stopped working. Netflix and Youtube videos continued to run perfectly fine. Today, youtube continues to work fine, but now Netflix has stopped playing videos as well. Most websites will give an error saying either it couldn't connect, the video doesn't exist, or the video will just sit loading and never play. I know my internet connection is fine, and as previously stated, I have had no problems watching youtube videos. I figure this has to be a problem with, or caused by Adobe since the problems did not occur until immedately after updating to the latest version. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

  • Bose docking station no longer works with software update

    Has anyone figured out how to get their iPod to play music through their Bose docking station after the latest software update?

    - Some users have reported similar problems after updating the iOS.  I do not remember if it was for the Bose.  You can look at the previous podiscussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This".
    You can also use the communities search box in the upright and search for: bose.
    - Have you contacted Bose or went to their support site?
    - f I recall, some accessores worked after reseting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Sometime a restore did it too. For some, nothing helped.

  • "Do not Disturb" feature is not working with iOS6 update in iPhone4

    I have updated iOS6 on my iphone 4. I tried to turn on "Do not Disturb" feature, schedule time then test it but it is not working. Phone is ringing with vibrate & tone. kindly fix this bug.

    When I first tested the Do Not Disturb function, I discovered two ways it could seem like it was not working. One, as mentioned above, was that my screen was not locked. The other was the settings under Settings/Notifications/Do Not Disturb. If your settings allow calls from favorites and then you try to test the feature from a phone in your favorites list, it will not block the call. Similarly, if you are testing multiple times and the allow repeated call option is set, the call will also get through.
    And one other observation. All of the material I have seen describes the action of the Do Not Disturb function as silencing the notifications. For incoming calls it does more than that; it actually rejects the call so the caller goes straight to voicemail rather than just ringing silently.
