IPad videos to TV problem

Hi all. I've purchased an Apple component AV cable in order to watch iPad videos through my TV. After connecting I get "video is appearing on TV" message on the iPad screen but no sound or image appears on the television. I should point out that while the TV isn't a new flatscreen type, it does have the option to connect component and composite. (component is usually what I watch my DVDs through). I'd appreciate some advice on what I'm doing wrong. If it helps the cable part number is MB128ZA/B. Thank you

if you made sure you selected the component as active input source
then I would troubleshoot by trying a friends tv to verify it's not a problem with your setup

IPad video problems

iPad video not working after ios7 update. Anyone see this?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

IPad mini retina. After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem!

After upgrade to iOS 8 and after to 8.0.2 I can't use my iPad because of wifi problem

I am having a similar experience. Since upgrading my Ipad 2 to iOS 8 and then iOS 8.0.2 I have not been able to use wifi consistently and it is very frustrating. I can no longer watch any video because the wifi shuts down and won't come back without a complete reboot of the iPad. And forget about consistent bluetooth! My ipad worked perfect before the "upgrade" to iOS 8 and beyond but now it is really worthless. I have spent a lot of time and have tried every fix that I have read about online and NOTHING has corrected the problems created by the upgrade. After spending a lot of time trying to resolve this I am certain the problem is the buggy "upgrade" but I feel like no one at Apple is listening. I have always loved Apple products but this rotten Apple experience is making me think about exploring what else is out there. Apple folks, I recommend getting this fixed quick or your stockholders won't be smiling!

IPad video poster frames white box with grey tv, looking for fix

I have searched the forums and can not find a working solution.
I have mpeg4 Apple TV/ iPad videos that I have added to my iPad through iTunes.
When they came in, all the poster frames were black, as that's the first frame of video. I manually went though iTunes and set each poster frame.
I then sync and reboot on the iPad. Poster frames are now white squares with grey tv.
Repeated the above twice.
Signed in and out of home share (as suggested by one forum) and reboots iPad.
Have removed all files from iPad and then added back. Back to black poster frames.
I have no way to check if the poster frame are correct as in iTunes, I can only see files on the iPad in list view. When I do get info, there is nothing about the poster frame.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks!

BUMP.
Still looking for an answer on this. In addition to the above:
I have tried setting the poster frames inside of iTunes
I have tried setting the poster frames outside of iTunes and then importing onto the iPad though iTunes.
Setting ratings made no difference.
I can not add artwork manually, it is greyed out in the info pain and not accessible.
Still same results. Now all video files are a Grey Square with a different symbol depending on what "Media Kind" the file is set to. And in fact, when I do this, the files disappear from iTunes and I can no longer find them.
Apple, Please help!!
Reading the Forums, this is a problem that has yet to be answered.

IPad Video App Subtitles Glitch

The Video app on the iPad seems to have an issue or two with soft subtitles.
First, the Video player disregards the size settings, or for some reason scales them down, so a subtitle track that's set to be 60 pixels high on a 640x480 video will clearly not be the same size as they are when the video is played in iTunes, it seems to be around half the size.
This affects the width the the subtitles as well. A particularly long subtitle, the sort that wraps to two lines in iTunes, simply gets cut off on the iPad, even though there's lots of room available with the smaller subtitles. It won't wrap subtitles to two lines either, just cut them off.
Finally, not a bug, but the behavior in Quicktime is to remember that a user has 'show subtitles' selected from video to video. iTunes and iPad Video both require that the subtitles be selected on every video. It would be nice if there was some universal toggle like there is in Quicktime.

There is a major problem with these subtitling circus which for me is very disapointing. It is totally not Apple. Apple was always exciding customer expectations. With subtitles they stoped halfway. Sometimes QT displays subtitles beautifully, iTunes a bit worse. Then Apple TV terrible. Along came iPad which subtitles handling is a joke. Major thing is that subtitles are in such a place in the screen that you need to decide if you want to watch movie or read subtitles. No, wait. No need for decision - they are so small you can not read them anyway. I am from Poland and I heavy depend on subtitles and Apple evendid not concider adding Polish language to subtitles selection. How far it can be from German to Polish. At least closer than to cyrilic. It is crucial they fix it asap. BTW i just typed that from my iPad, not spell check so sorry to all English native speakers. Regards.

UPDATE to this CURRENT LOCATION on iPad / iPhone / Find My iPhone issue -
I have a iPad that kept showing my OLD adress in Orlando Fl on BOTH google maps and Apple Maps, even after I moved up north to South Carolina. I tried everything. I then tried my FIND MY iPHONE on my Macbook Pro and same thing. Annoying.
This evening I set up my BACK TO MY MAC so i could acess my Time Capsule from work. After I set it up, and just for grins, i renewed the DHCP Lease while doing this. After the Time Capsule rebooted, my iPad displayed the correct location immediately. My macbook pro was still showing the OLD location in my FIND MY iPHONE. Did a restart and BAM, its all good.
Not sure if it was the renew or restart of the Airport Extreme Time Capsule.
Hope this helps.

Iphone/ipad video glitches after upload thru iphoto/image capture...suggestions??

iphone/ipad video glitches after upload thru iphoto/image capture...suggestions??

If the problem only appears with iPhoto then it may be due to a bad pref file for iPhoto. It could also be caused by a bad cache or log file.
There are additional ImageCapture preference files located in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost/ folder. Be sure to remove them also. Also remove the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto/ folder.
There are two ImageCapture cache files located in the /Library/Caches/ folder. Drag them to the Trash but do not delete them as yet.
Now restart the computer and see what happens.

My iPad Videos App Won't Connect to Shared Library

When I launch the iPad Videos app, then tap on "Shared" and then tap on my library, all I get is a spinning circle.
Admittedly, I do have a large iTunes library, but it shouldn't take this long to load. (Actually, I dont know how long it takes to load, because it has never loaded. I've waited as long as 20 minutes thus far).
The strange thing is that my 3rd-party Air Video app works every time, all the time. Why doesn't the Apple Videos app?
Update: Waited a little longer this time, only to get this error message: "Unable to turn on Home Sharing"

I find that closing iTunes and the Videos App on my iPad Air does not solve the problem.
Even this solution, if it worked would drive me bonkers. If I wanted to go to my computer I could just watch the video there. If I wanted to watch the video on my Apple TV I would go watch it there.
Why is it that my Apple TV always flawlessly connects to my shared iTunes library, but my iPad Air never will? The fact that it works on Apple TV suggests the problem in not my network, my router, my firewall, etc. It suggests there is a bug with the apps on the iPad.
I too have resigned myself to the fact that AirVideo is the answer. Sadly though, this doesn't solve my problem with trying to listen to my music library.
I have the exact same experience with my iPhone 5c. I'm a huge fan of Apple products for several years now after being a detractor. I am simply left with the feeling that this issue, reported by many users, with many different devices, is not getting the attention it deserves.
Frustration is setting in....

IPad video camera has no sound

iPad video camera has no sound

Found the fix.
If the reboot doesn't fix it.
If the headphoens work find, but no external speakers.
If the double-click and page right to the software mute, doesn't show the sound knob - just the brightness
If your pop-up shows "Docking Station"
Then, the problem is very likely a dirty connector. The iPad/iPhone/iPod connector uses a resistor value to determine if the device is connected to an external 'speaker'. There are a range of resistances, for a range of products. This is known as the Connector Pin 21 issue.
Take some windex on a que-tip, or perhaps a Windex paper scrub and rub it on the bottom connector port. Somehow, "something" has gotten on those contacts, and it is pulling the voltage on pin #21 down - so that the iPad "thinks" it's connected to an external speaker - this will disable the internal speaker circuitry, as well as the internal speaker volume controls.
Do not over-saturate and short out your iPad. Do not throw it in the sink, do not use the kitchen faucet to flush it out. A Que-tip with a few drops of Windex (or other gentle cleaner) should work just fine. Takes all of 30 seconds - and magically, the volume knob appeared and everything worked just fine.

My ipad videos are always stopping since I upgraded to 7.0 and I am on strong wi-fi strength?

My ipad videos are always stopping since I upgraded to 7.0 and I am on strong wi-fi strength?

Since other millions of people updated and do not have that problem - it means one of two.
1.Your friends lied to you and do not have that problem and in that case only your installation of ios7 got corrupted and you need to restore your phone.
2.Your friends didn't lie to you and all 4 of you need to restore phones (that way reinstalling ios 7 properly)
here are instructions for restore and you may have to backup before restore.

IPad Videos App - Indicating Watched / Not-watched

I have watched videos on my iPhone for a while, it is very convenient that it shows a circle to indicate what has been viewed, partially or completely (or not at all). The iPad videos app doesn't seem to do this which is very invonvenient as I have a series of TV shows I am watching and now have to remember where I was up to.
Am I missing something or is this an oversight in the Videos app?

OK, I gave up. You just can't fight city hall.
After messing with changing from 'Movie' to 'Home Video' I just said screw it. I just finished doing the following for my 64 'Home Video' movies:
- I did a Google image search on <movie name> poster
- I clicked on the thumbnail to bring up the image
- I did a right-click SAVE IMAGE AS
- I then did a GET INFO on the movie through iTunes
- I clicked on the ARTWORK tab
- I added the image I just found as the the artwork
- I change the MEDIA KIND back to MOVIE
- I then recopied the movies I keep on my iPad (about 10) from the PC
No more problems now either with viewing the local or Shared movie lists from my iPad. As I add new movies I will make sure to manually add the artwork. What a PITA.
Hopefully Apple will get this fixed. This movie UI painfulness (that wasn't even a problem on IOS 6.x) is something worthy of Microsoft.

How to watch iPad videos on my tv?

Please could you explain what I need and what I need to do to watch iPad videos on my tv? I have a first generation iPad and latest software. Ta.

I have the same problem with this dock I bought of ebay. When it's in, the audio is muted because the dock is designed to be pluged into a stereo system all the time. Try looking for a new dock that doesn't support TV out.

No "TV shows" tab in iPad videos app

this was in a thread a while ago, but i never got a definitive answer. i have a handful of video files that are tagged as "TV show" in iTunes on my mac. to be clear, they are in the TV Shows category in the iTunes library, NOT movies. i have itunes set to automatically sync unwatched episodes of TV shown onto my iPad, which it does succesfully - sort of. of course, to watch these on my iPad i should use the built-in Videos app. the problem is, videos will not show the tv shows that i have synced. and it's even worse than that – there's not even a "TV Shows" tab at the top of the screen when i launch the videos app. it's just plain not there: the tabs are Movies and Shared, and that's it.
before you ask if i actually synced the tv shows, they are most definitely on my iPad, and in fact i CAN watch them, but to do so i have to do a search for the title of the show. when the title pops up in search results, i select it and the video plays just fine. so its not the end of the world, but it's annoying. i want to be able to browse the shows i have on there rather than search for them, and i can't. please help.
thanks.

i think i have the answer
first the TV shows should be seen as tv shows in your itunes library on mac/pc
to do this you have to edit the properties of the file by right clicking on the file and choosing "more info".
choose the "option" tab under the more info window. now select the media kind as "TV Show" .
thats all

HT204291 Since downloading 8.1.3 onto my iPad, video streaming through my Apple TV freezes after a few minutes whilst audio continues as usual. Anyone experienced this and if so, is there a fix?

8.2 is out...perhaps that will address your problem.

IPad videos have a black scrreen

My iPad videos doesn't show image. Just a black screen. It happen after download iTunes U. How can I solve my problem?

These all things that have been tried and shown to be successful for other users with this issue. Start with these tips.
Quit the video app and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the video app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner of the video app icon to close it. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. Try the app again and see if the movie is there and will play.
If that didn't work - Search for the movie. From the home screen swipe to the right and the Spotlight Search feature will appear. Type the name of the movie in the field at the top, if the movie shows up in the search, tap on the icon and hopefully it will begin to play. Let it play for a few minutes then tap Done. Return to the video app and see if it is in there now.
If the Videos app still won't play, try playing a podcast in the Music app if you have one. If not download a free podcast, play it for a short period of time, and then try the videos app again.
Double tap the home button to bring up the task bar, swipe all the way to the right to get to the music control - tap the arrow and see what happens.
Reset the iPad - hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider.
