IPhone 4 and Apple Component Cables do not work

I have an iPhone 4 and my Apple Component Cables no longer work.
I have had an iPhone 3G since July 2008, and a first gen iPod Touch. They both have and continue to work with the cables.
I have the Component cables hooked up to an Apple universal dock... it's been a great way to watch movies and TV shows on my bedroom TV, as the remote control works through the dock. I've become so accustomed to using it, I no longer even use a DVD player (all my media is digital). That's the main reason I upgraded to a 32Gb ip4. I have tried plugging the cables directly into my phone, rather than going through the dock, to no avail.
I am now on my second replacement iPhone 4, and the Genius at the Apple Store had the same issue with his demo unit. Oddly, the ip4 appears to work fine with the lower quality composite cables, but not at all with the HD compatible component cables. My question is, have any of you experienced the same problem? How is this not a bigger issue? (I can't find any threads about this issue), Am I the only person who uses his iPhone this way?
I have been in contact with Applecare. A nice rep has been trying to help me, but as of yet, has not been able to offer an answer. On the Apple Store, you can clearly see iPhone 4 listed as a compatible device for the cables.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated

I know this is of absolutely no use to you at all but...
Same here!
Paid nearly 40 quid (GBP) for the component video cable from apple, same for the universal dock!
Nothing, nada, nought... through my theatre system or direct into the TV.
Shame really, iPhone 4 latest patches, really BIG TV (latest, greatest everything input's) fairly simple theatre system (again, everything inputs) but no joy at all getting a picture (video) out of the component cable.
Bah...
I read somewhere there could be a fault in the iPhone 4 OS, but I'd have thought that they would have fixed this by now!
NOTHING WORKS!!!
This is not a good 40 quid value !!!
Is there a solution?

TS3694 I performed an iOS 7 software update on my iPhone yesterday, and now the phone is not working at all. The iPhone screen shows to connect to iTunes to restore. I've have done this, and still the iPhone is not working. What going on?

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

It is not practicale to do this always any one faces the same problem

There may be a problem with the SIM card. Get a new SIM card from your carrier - there should be no charge for a replacement.
If no change with a new SIM card, the standard troubleshooting steps in order are:
Power your iPhone off and on.
An iPhone reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
Restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after any of these steps in order, your iPhone has a hardware problem.

We're all in the same boat, more or less. iOS 8.1 was supposed to fix Bluetooth issues (among other things) that appeared with the release of iOS 8.0.1 that iOS 8.0.2 didn't fix, and, well, they're still there...
A fix is probably on the way, already, but when will Apple release it, no one know...

IPhone 4+Remote+Component Cable+TV=Not Working

Hello all, I am writing to get some help getting my accessories to work together for my iPhone 4. I use an Apple Component AV Cable to hook my iPhone4 up to the front of my older TV (red/yellow/white) to view my videos on my TV. This works but I wanted to get the apple remote so I could control the volume and play from the couch. When I bought it, the page was different, but it said it was compatible with the iPhone 4, so I got it.
Well, it didn't work. Not with just my previous set up and with nothing I have tried since. When I plugged the cables in and tried to use the remote, it didn't operate the iphone, though the video was playing on the tv as usual. I assume the iPhone doesn't have an infrared receiver? So then, I got my hub's Dock, which has an infrared on the front, and on the back, an s-video female connection, the flat narrow port for the usual apple cables (which my Apple Compnent set plugs into as well), and a Line Out. I tried inserting the Apple Component AV Cable, which has the usual apple connector and the red/yellow/white cables. The remote works with the iphone now, but the video won't play on the TV, even though it says it is. It's like the signal isn't going through the dock to the connector. Do I need a different dock, a different cable? Something else?
All I have open to connect to the TV is the Component red/yellow/white.
Any ideas? Thank you so much!
Gina

Whoops, I always get the type of connection messed up. Sorry. I still have the right connections in any case. I have red/yellow/white on the tv and red/yellow/white apple cable. The set up works just fine. I get color video and audio and it looks great. My problems started when I tried getting the remote to work with it.
Like I said, if I use the dock in the setup, the remote works on the iphone but the tv does not play the video. If I take out the dock, the tv plays the video, but the remote does not work the iphone.
Does anyone have any ideas, please?
Thanks,
Gina

Iphone 4s reboot/apple logo problem - restore not working

My iphone 4s is stuck in the reboot cycle. The apple logo appears for 3/4 seconds, dissapears and the returns. it does this constantly.
I have already put the phone into recovery mode and tried to restore twice. about 15 mins from the end of the restore process the flashing apple logo reappears and that is the end of that.
Can anyone help? i dont mind losing data just would like the phone to work again.
Thanks
Chris

Turn your device off and connect your cable to the computer, but not the device just yet. Start up iTunes. Now, hold down the home button on your device and plug it in to the cable - don't let go of the button until iTunes tells you it's detected a device in recovery mode. Now you can restore to factory settings.
If this procedure does not work, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have it evaluated by the techs there.

Iphone 6 and Ford Sync Bluetooth Does Not Work

Brand new iPhone 6 paired with My Ford Sync in a 2014 Escape.
Bad news, the bluetooth phone features simply do not work. You can initiate a call form the Sync and the phone will dial and connect, but 5 seconds into the call the bluetooth disconnects the phone audio and returns you to your radio or whatever source you were listening to.
The call appears to remain active on the iPhone but you can't access it.
Sure hope Apple or Microsoft/Ford step up to fix this soon it is a real show stopper.
Nothing like in the field beta testing.

I had a similar problem with my 2011 Ford Fusion and brand new iPhone 6 received yesterday. I restored my iPhone 5 to my new iPhone 6 when I received it. My iPhone 6 has the same device name as the iPhone 5 did. I was able to pair my iPhone 6 with Sync easily, but Sync would only ring on incoming calls. I could not answer the incoming call or initiate calls through Sync. I was able to correct the problem this morning by:
1) Forgetting This Device (Sync) in the Bluetooth application in the iPhone 6,
2) Deleting All Devices in the Sync Phone Bluetooth menu.
3) Re-pairing the iPhone 6 with Sync.
Apparently the same phone name stored in Sync from the iPhone 5 was corrupting the settings for the iPhone 6 using the same device name.
I hope this helps. Good luck!

IPod Nano Video-Out to TV (Via new Apple Component cable) DOESN"T WORK

It doesn't work on my nano. The sound plays fine, the video is distorted. It isn't the cable, since I have an iPod Touch that displays fine.
I've tinkered with the settings : Widescreen, NTSC, Fit to Screen, etc... none of it helps. Still shows a distorted image (like when a computer displays the wrong resolution on a screen, or the way a channel on Cable looks if you aren't subscribed to it).
Is my Nano defective? Am I going to have to rally up several other Nano users with similar issues, post it up on my blog?
Anyone can help me?
Also, my iPod Touch doesn't display photo transitions (cube, wipe, etc) only fades.... even though I've attempted switching the settings. Only works when the component cable is disconnected. Any help on this too?

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.

I have IPHONE 5s and my phone Bluetooth is not working its showing only its showing only searching for device but no results..?

Text and Image component Image placing not working!

Hi Guys,
For some odd reason, when I drop text and image component to the page I do not see the left or right option to place image in "Styles" tab. The styles tab shows blank and by default paragraph gets placed after image. This only happens in my site, not in Geomatrix. Am I missing something to include??
Thanks in advance.

geometrixx site has extended the text&image component thats why it shows that option. earlier in 5.4 version they directly overrided in geometrixx apps but now you wont find it there. But if you want to achieve this functionality then you have to override same component locally in your apps and add some more configuration to style tab as below.

I have a iPhone 5 and my touch screen is not working

Only in certain areas of my phone. I noticed a faint vertical line from top to bottom on the "t, g, v" area of the keyboard while texting. Out of curiousity I set my phone on tilt to see if I can text horizontally and that worked. I think its just that area and i just want it fixed. I dont understand why these phone break so easily and I paid alot of money for the OTTERBOX to keep the phone from being damaged. I only ever dropped my phone ONE time and it was pretty much new when I got it from verizon. IDK what the problem is. HELP!

Hello pressplay521,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It is certainly frustrating when something happens to your iPhone, but life happens, sometimes in spite of our best efforts. You can take a look at the following page to set up repair for your iPhone.
