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.

  • Apple Composite AV cable not playing video

    Hello,
    I bought a Apple ORIGINAL Composite AV cable so I can watch films in my TV.
    When I connect the cable to my tv I get sound but no video.
    The connections are all ok and I tried making them with both TV and Iphone turned off and on. I also tried with Ntsc and PAL. Nothing seems to work.
    I have a Iphone classic running on firmware 2.2.
    Can anyone help me resolving this issue please? I hear other people are having the same problem. What could be the cause? Software problem?
    Thank you.

    I tried all combinations imaginable. And I have a Iphone 2G
    I think I figured it out both for Iphone 2G and 3G users.
    The MB129ZA/B is probably on sale since a few months ago, prior to the 2.0 firmware and several stores have it still in stock like the one where I bought mine.
    With the release of the 2.0,2.1 and 2.2 firmwares this cable no longer works and you need the MB129LL has stated on apple's site. (although they look exactly the same and have the same packaging, only difference is the tiny part number)
    Now this isn't fare (not to use other words...) for several reasons the main one beeing that all those people who bought this EXPENSIVE cable 2 or 3 months ago now have to buy the new and still very EXPENSIVE one to watch videos on TV.
    This is what my research over the Internet has resulted.
    Please post your opinions.

    I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

    does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show  from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?

  • 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?

  • 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).

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 2.2 update: Apple component cable not working

    Hi all,
    Since updating to 2.1 (now updated to 2.2) I have been unable to get video out in my iPhone 2G.
    I have Apple component AV cables which worked fine on 2.01 with both my TV and the projectors used at University (I use this in my lectures). Upgrading to 2.2 has not fixed the problem.
    Annyhoo, once I plug them in I get the dreaded 'This device is not compatible etc...' message and all I get is audio. I have even had this warning when using the cable and the wall plug to recharge.
    I have looked through Apple's Support site and several people have been having trouble with 3rd party cables but mine are Apple, came in the nice shiny (expensive) box 'n everything. Apple Support (US) definitely lists this cable as compatible with my iPhone.
    Can anyone offer practical advice, or do I have to back to 2.01 to get this to work?

    iPhone 2G, firmware 2.2, Apple composite cable. Still works.

    Something is wrong with your charger or cable.

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

    I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
