IPad video out problem

Dear forum users,
I have an iPad with the latest iOS software update, and I am trying to link it with an ACER K11 pico projector (which they advertise to work with iPad).
I am using the Apple video out vga cable, as well as a compatible app like "keynote".
Unfortunately, all I get is a "no signal" message on the projector. The projector works well with other video sources.
I tried it with my iPhone 4 and got the same result.
Any idea what could be the problem?
Many thanks
Macphi

Just checking: Did you actually run a presentation? You won't get anything on an external display until you actually start a presentation. VGA out is limited to apps that explicitly support it and even then only in some situations (e.g. the Photos app will only display something once you start a slideshow).

The Video Out Problem...Fixed?

I know Wikipedia can be edited by virtually anyone with membership and an opinion, but I had to know.
It said that an itunes update 1.0.2 fixed the video out problem...does that mean that videos can now be connected to a TV and play on the TV? They fixed that?
I am still ever in the market for the nano, just waiting until the right ammount of money to purchase one. Thanks

I think it is currently working according to this knowledgebase article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233
That is, for the new Nano, you can use the older iPod Universal Dock (ie the normal one that has been available for a couple of years) together with an iPod composite video cable or an SVideo cable (ie all currently-available stuff you may have already bought for a previous-series video iPod), OR you can use the brand new "Apple Universal Dock" with the brand new Apple Composite AV Cable or with the (new) Apple Component AV Cable, OR you can use one of those brand new Apple AV Cables directly with the Nano (without the new Apple Universal Dock).
What you cannot do is connect an old video cable or accessory, which was expecting to get composite video from the RCA/audio jack on the Nano, because it looks like (on the new Nano and the Classic) the audio out jack is now just for audio out and video is only available via the dock connector on the iPod.

IPad video out to HDMI mystery

I hope we can shed some light upon this.
I was wondering, what exactly Apple does with the video out feature while the iPad is connected to a 16:9 flatscreen TV via HDMI (digital AV adapter).
What I found out:
The nominal iPad 3 resolution is 2048 x 1536, which does not fit 1080p, so the iPad scales the home screen down to what? No information about it in the iPad specs and the manual
The home screen is appearantly scaled down to 1536 x 1024, while the output is 1920 x 1080 pixels - so the home screen has a black frame
When using Photos app to view photos, the iPad screen is shown 1:1 on TV - still black frame
When using iPhoto app to view/edit photos, the output to TV is different than on iPad display - photos on TV are displayed in full height (if 3:2) and full screen (if 16:9). Unfortunately, the photo on the TV does not zoom
When using Movies app to view 1080p footage, the TV shows 1080p full screen
When using Movies app to view 720p footage, the TV shows 1080p full screen (video is upscaled by iPad)
What I'm ooking for is an app to show photos in 1080p full screen with zoom. I've tried about 5-8 different who are all supposed to do that - but they all failed. There was even one app that acted as a DLNA server so the TV loaded the photo from the iPad and did the decoding/display, but a TV is not designed for this.

*If your Display Preferences are set to Extended Desktop Mode (Mirroring Off) then it is possible to select and have a different Desktop background image for each Display.*
Try this:
*1. Go to: System Preferences and select Displays, then click on the Arrangement tab and look at the box for Mirror Displays, is it checked or unchecked?*
a. If you want the displays to show the same image (Mirroring) then check the box.
b. If you want to use the connected display for viewing different wIndows (Extended Desktop) then uncheck the box and go to step 2.
*2. Go to: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Savers and click on the Desktop tab.*
a. Now you should see a Preference window on each Display which will allow you to select or change the image on each Display.

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?

IPhone 2G video out problems

Hi all,
Since updating to 2.1 (via Pwnage) 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 MacTalk and 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?

Restore your iPhone to the factory firmware, then try the Apple Component AV Cable. Else, seek elsewhere for assistance, as Apple Discussions is not the place to seek support for hacked/jailbroken iPhones.

Ipad Video Out

Hello, I have a question that I'm hoping someone could solve for me, so here goes:
I currently have an ipad 4. I previously had an ipad 2. When I still had the ipad 2, i had an apple cable that allowed me to do video/audio out (via 30 pin to composite cable) and I was able to stream Netflix and/watch movies that i downloaded through itunes. Now, I realize that the lighting to 30 pin converter does not do video/audio out. I was wondering if A) apple has a cable that does video out for composite connection for the new lighting interface (I'm aware of the apple digital audio/video cable but I've only seen ones for HDMI or VGA, not composite) or B) if buying the apple digital audio/video cable and then buying a converter box to make it into composite would work as well? The bottom line, I'm trying to regain this functionality for my new ipad (to be able to stream Netflix and/or itune movies to a tv that only has a composite input (no HDMI)) and just want to know what my options are.
Any advice/suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

Right and i believe the only Lighting to Video Cables are the ones that i mentioned- HDMI and VGA but I need composite. So I'm looking for a solution to that.
The only solution I can think of is to buy the Lightning to HDMI and then connect that to a HDMI to Composite converter and then connect that to a TV. But I don't want to buy the converter if it's not going to work with streaming both Netflix and any movies that are purchased from itunes and downloaded to my ipad. This is where I'm looking for help from this community. Thanks.

G5 video out problem w/ 23" cinema display

Yesterday I moved my G5 and 23" display into another room in my house. When I plugged everything in and turned on the computer, the monitor was not responding. I plugged the 23" display into my powerbook G4 laptop, and it functioned properly as a second monitor. At this point, I ruled out the monitor as the issue.
With the monitor plugged back into the G5 tower again, I restarted the computer, and without seeing anything, I entered my username and password to login. I could tell that the computer was working, but the video out was not. I then used the keystroke to properly shut down the computer.
The next time I restarted it, the display came on, but after about 10 minutes, it froze. I suspect a problem with the video card.
Here's the big question though. I also noticed that the computer gave an error on one of the processors. It could be related, but it may be another issue. I've had the computer since July of 05. Is it too late to buy the apple care service to cover a video card and new processor (potentially), or am I in for a costly repair?

Since ou have moved the machine, as well as disconnected/reconnected the monitor, it is possible the video card has become (at least partially) unseated.
Verify the card is fully and properly seated in the slot, no pins are damaged/bent, that the cable is fully seated, and that the cable did not get pinched/damaged in the process of the move.
(Generally, if you wiggle/jiggle the cable around, and the monitor cuts in/out or changes colors, there could be a broken wire in the cable.)

MacBook Video Out problems.

Hey all.
Bit of an issue regarding my Macbook. It's a 2ghz Duo With ram upgraded to 4gb by myself. For some reason the video out on my Macbook has decided to stop working. Is it possible that it's hardware related? I have tried the following.
1: Bypassing my Onkyo TSR 609 amp straight to TV
2: Lowering resolutions (although 1080i and p was fine)
3: Bootcamping into windows to see if its an OSX issue. (my friends Samsung laptop works just fine through all the various combinations)
4: Punching it.
Im at a loss now, was working fine, got my new amp and was working fine through that for a week (havent changed any settings on it, and as I said same issues straight to TV which is a 42" Sharp XD1E) and the picture just comes out as multicoloured digital noise but you can just about make out whats on screen.Its a fairly weak connection on the MiniDVI port on laptop itself, It's connected via MiniDVI to DVI/HDMI dongle. I have also swapped out cables. It's not the amp as my PS3 blasts out 1080p with NO issues, please help!

Your Mac runs maintenance in the background for you.
Command + R gives you access to restore, repair, or reformat the drive using OS X Recovery
No idea why that was suggested.
You may have a third party video player installed that's causing an incompatibility issue.
Check these folders:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
/Library/Input Methods/
/Library/InputManagers/
/Library/ScriptingAdditions
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
~/Library/Input Methods/
~/Library/InputManagers/
~/Library/ScriptingAdditions
The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.
To access the Home folder in OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and chooseGo > Library.

IPhone video out problem

I have a iPhone compatible composite video out cable. When I select a video to play, it plays (video/audio) on the TV for about 8 seconds then the video quits playing. The iPhone goes back to the video list screen. When I restart the video only audio plays back on the TV. The video plays on the iPhone screen. Anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have the Apple Composite AV Cable? Note that there's a decryption chip in the Apple cable that's required for functionality with the iPhone. 3rd party cables don't work (although they may claim to work, they don't).

IPad tv out problem

I recently brought a pad 3 I want to connect to a projector or tv . I also brought he correct apple to RCA leads . Problem being I can only get sound no pictures I have been told that hese leads only work with iPad 1&2 is this correct. If so how do you connect and get pictures

Go to Settings > General > TV Out > TV Signal and you'll be able to select from PAL or NTSC.
If your TV has HDMI input then the Digital A/V adapter is working fine. You only need a long HDMI cable

Latest iPad Video App Problems

Is anyone else having problems with the latest iOS7 video app?
I have spent a lot of time numbering all of my TV Shows carefully (Series Number, Episode Number and Episdoe ID etc)
This used to work perfectly, but now it doesn't.
When I import a whole series of a TV Show, all is fine. The numbering works correctly.
If I then re-sync the iPad, ALL episode number are set to zero on the iPad, even though they are still correct within iTunes.
If I import half a series (for example 1-6) - this is fine - UNTIL I add say 7-12. Then the numbering for 7-12 is OK, but 1-6 all gets set back to zero.
Its really annoying, and i'm sure that its a simple fix. It should've been discovered during testing anyway. I expect more of Apple developers and testers quite honestly.
Also, where is the option to play a whole series of shows like we had before???? I though newer versions of software were supposed to improve the user experioence, NOT take away functionality. As I link my iPad up to a large screen TV, I now have to get up and press 'play' after every episode.
I'm not being lazy, but it's just annoying, when we used to have the option to just let the episodes play one after the other... Or am I just not seeing a hidden button somewhere???

no offense but I hope if apple are reading they will focus on the more show stopper issues some people have rather then a video starting over and showing seen icon incorrectly which at the end of the day must be seen as a minor nuisance compared to people who can't get network connection or other fatal issues

IPad Video Syncing problems

Hello world,
My iPad 2 used to sync my videos stored in iTunes to my iPad, buy one day stopped syncing them. I upgraded to iOS5 and iTunes 10.5 and tried again, but am having no luck.
In iTunes I select the movie from the movies catogory, and have tried sync all, sync video playlist and sync manually. When i select it, the capasity counter down the bottom increases by 1gb (the size of my file). I press sync. It goes through the motions and when it finishes it reverts back to 14mb. I tried putting it into iPhoto and checking the sync movies tab, same thing occurs. I looked in my photos section of my iPad and looked in the event where the movie should be and it tells me "1 photo or video could not sync. see iTunes for details". And only gives me the option of "ok". I looked in the iTunes on my iPad and my mac and both of them don't tell me anything.
I'm pulling my hair out and any help would be appricated.
Thanks
Alexander

When your iPhone is connected to iTunes and selected under Devices in the iTunes source list, what is the size shown for the "Other" category for data available on your iPhone?

7.01 video out problem

I have upgraded to 7.01, and the setup I have used for looking at my video doesn't work anymore.
I use Easy Setup to firewire DV to a DSR-20, whose output is connected by an s-video cable to a Sony 13" Hi-Res monitor. I do get an output, but there is a black rectangle in the display, the same as if I where trying to play a write protected DVD on the Sony.
Is FCP sending out a write protect signal? If so, how can I disable it?

Just wanted to add that I'm having the same issue.
iMovie 7.0 worked fine (and yes, I like it fine -- I would only be upset if Apple had taken iMovie HD away, but of course they didn't so I don't see why the whiners are so ... well, whiny!).
Applied the 7.0.1 update and now iMovie will not launch. Activity Monitor shows that the program grabs and holds the entire second CPU on my C2D MacBook. I waited several minutes for it to work out whatever it was struggling with to no avail. A simple force quit from the dock immediately quit the program and brought the CPUs under control.
Naturally I tried re-applying the update (nothing changed), checking to see if the problem existed with a "fresh" admin account (it did), repairing permissions (nope), restarting (nada), running AppleJack (un-uh) and even applying the update as root (no good).
I'm out of ideas, and a little nervous because I'm teaching a class on this thing on Saturday and can't work with it in its present state. I'm confident Apple will notice the issue and re-issue the update in due course (as they usually do when an update has unintended side effects), but I hope they hurry!

Macbook video out problem mini dvi port???? wierd video tranission

I have been using the Apple cable that converts the mini-dvi to rca jack for connection to external video screen for some time now. All of a sudden, i try to hook it up to the tv to watch a movie and it wont work.
Here is the funny part... it still transmits video, it will show the image of my desktop... today i switched my desktop image, and tried again to hook it up... this time it shows the OLD desktop image... no icons or anything, just the image.
Any ideas as to why its doing this? It worked well last week, no other problems, abuse etc, all of a sudden it doesnt work.
frustrated... please help

Difficult to tell from your description, but it sounds to me like your Displays in System Preferences may be set to extended desktop mode instead of video mirroring mode.
