Iphone 4 component cable problem!

I recently purchased the iphone component cable (white box) to watch videos through my samsung LCD TV. All cables are connected correctly, however, nothing is working. I get no video or audio.
When i play a video, the iphone displays:
"TV Connected
The Video is playing on the TV"
However, i have selected the component source on my Samsung TV and nothing is showing other than "no Signal". I have selected the correct region for the UK on the iphone settings under Settings >Ipod > Tv out , (which i beleive is PAL for uk).
Can anyone suggest an answer.
Many thanks

did you choose component as the input source?
to view component input on my sony tv (and every other tv really)
I have to change the input source to be component rather then tv or hdmi or....

Component cable problem

Hi!
I'm trying to connect my ipod touch 1st gen to my Samsung TV (LED series 5) using a Mac component cable. So far, I've only been able to watch and listen to videos, but unable to play any music.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Roberto!
Your best bet if you don't want voice over is to plug your iPod in to your computer and de-select voice over. However, If it got wet, there may be other problems. Try posting this as a new question, and be specific about what's happening. No doubt that lots of people will be interested and willing to help! Best of luck to you!

Ipod Classic A/V Component Cable problem

Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with my brand new, latest generation, Ipod Classic 160GB with tv out A/V component cable.
When I plug it on my tv I get a vertical split image with some color distortion. Sound is ok, though.
Funny part is that I also own a 2nd generation ipod touch and the cable work fine with it.
Please help me out! I've searched the entire internet and couldn't find nothing regarding this problem yet

This is probably a long shot but:
Are you getting both channels of sound? I know this sounds ludicrous, but a friend of mine had a third-party cable and it seems the colour coded sleeves - red, white and yellow - on the AV plugs were mixed up so that video was coming through one of the audio plugs. The upshot was that he got one channel of audio and video sash until he tried different combinations of plugging the cables into the ports.

Apple AV component cable problem

Hi I'm new, i hope you can help me!
my brother gave me the Apple AV component cable (audio: red white, video: red green blue), I was very happy about it and wanted to try it on my tv, but then i recognized that my tv doesn't has the red green and blue ones for video.
It has red white and yellow (scart).
cause of that i bought this http://www.elektro-planet.com/shop/catalog/images/5525-3rgb.jpg , but when I try to use it I don't get anything on the screen.
Only audio is appearing.
Can someone help me pls?

I had the same issue at first when I tried to plug the component cable into the front of my tv. Then I found the component connectors on the back of my tv.
The fuller explanation is there are two kinds of cables - Component and Composite.
Composite cable has three colors:
Red / White for sound
Yellow for video
Component cable has five colors
Red / White grouped as a pair for sound
Red / Blue / Green for video
My tv has AV 1 on the front, it uses Composite - and AV 2 on the back using Component. Hopefully yours also has component plugs somewhere.
I took a movie over to someone else's house and they only had Composite style connectors. Connect the Red/White audio plugs like normal and the green component plug into the yellow composite slot and you get black/white. It's the best you can achieve between two different techs.
I suggest going out and picking up the composite cable as well. Because, frankly, composite is the lowest quality of image and if you've got a higher quality tv then component will do you a better image. Seriously, connecting it all up on my tv and comparing picture quality side-by-side by flipping back/forth AV1 AV2, keep the component cable and get the composite cable as a "fall back" as necessary.

A/V Component cables no longer able to work with iPhone 1st Generation?

I purchased the Apple A/V Component cables to be able to hook my iPhone up to my stereo at work and TV at home. Before the 2.0.1 update, it worked ok. No hassles or problems what so ever. Now, after the 2.0.1 update, I can no longer use this device for what it seems it was made for. It seems that now it's a $50 iPhone charger and that's about it. Anyone know of any fix or maybe something I did to make this happen? I called Apple and they said "that's odd, it should be working" and then asked if I could bring it in.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It seems it's not just the A/V Component cables that aren't working with the new upgrade. Apparently some other people have had issues with docking stations and speaker extensions after the upgrade. Anyone?

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?

Apple iPhone 4 Dock not working with Apple A/V Component Cables.

Okay, Got a problem here, or I think its a problem. I purchased the iPhone 4 dock and the A/V component cables with power connection. When I connect the A/V cables to the iphone, they work fine and I see the video and hear the audio on the tv. When I connect the A/V cables to the iphone 4 dock, then place the iphone 4 on the dock it DOES NOT send the audio and video feed to the TV but it does charge the iphone.
The iPhone 4 dock, on Apple Store website says, its compatible.
From Apple Site...
(Charge and sync your iPhone 4 with the iPhone 4 Dock. Your iPhone 4 sits upright in the dock as it syncs or charges, so it's perfect for a desk or countertop. It features a convenient audio line out port that connects to powered speakers. It supports other iPad accessories, such as iPhone AV cables and the USB Power Adapter. You can even conduct speakerphone calls with your iPhone 4 in its dock.)
Is anyone else having this problem ?

Spent $50 on a component cable -$50 + brand new tv + iPhone 3g = nothing

I just ( 3 hours ago) purchased an Av component cable (model #MB128LL/B) from the apple store in hingham, MA. After being assured it would work with my brand new Westinghouse flat screen I brought it home and plugged it in. I get a message that says...not compatible want to go airplane. Regardless of my answer I get no video on tv. iPhon screen plays video with no sound. Tv says no input. Any thoughts? I called the my apple line and was told call Westinghouse. Specs on tv (SK-26H640G) says it works with any component device that outputs 480i, 480p, 720P or 1080i. As far as I know my iPhone 3g outputs 480i? What is the problem?

I have used my component cable (bought from Apple) with the original iPhone, 3G, and 3GS with multiple TV's never had issue.
You should NOT be getting they whole "airplane mode" message.
Seeing that message is usually 1 of two things. 1 the cable (thing being attached) really is not compatible (but in this case, that cable is) OR 2, your dock port on the phone has issues. Each pin does something unique. Some are for charging, some are for syncing, some are four audio, some are for video, etc etc. Depending on what it is being plugged in, it activates certain things. If the phone's dock port is messed up on some pin that is just used for video out you may never have noticed until now.
I would schedule appointment at Apple store to bring in your cable and phone and try out on some screen there. If they see it having issues, they can try a different cable, if still issues, they can try on another phone and if that works, they can replace for you.

My iPhone 4 is no longer recognised by my laptop, and no longer registers being plugged in to charge, even though it will charge slowly if plugged in and turned off. It's not a cable problem or a computer problem, as I've checked these.

Hey, over the past couple of days my iPhone 4 (GMS, Model A1332, EMC 380B - running on iOS 7.1.2) has begun inexplicably intermittently not recognizing being plugged in to charge or being connected to my laptop. As of today, it has complete stopped recognizing being plugged in to charge or connected to the laptop.
If I plug it in to charge, whilst it is on, nothing happens and the battery drains.
If I plug it in to charge and turn in off, it will charge very very slowly - though it will charge fully after a long time.
When I connect it to my laptop, nothing happens - it doesn't appear in iTunes, and it doesn't charge or recognize being connected to the laptop (there is no charging symbol, no noise from either phone or computer registering the connection as it usual did, or another sign of any connection between the devices, though, again, it will charge very slowly if turned off).
I've ruled out the possibility of it being a cable problem, by using a friend's cable and finding that didn't allow it to recognize being plugged into the wall to be charged either, or being plugged into the computer.
My friend's cable does work on their own iPhone (ie, when plugged into the wall with their cable, their iPhone acknowledges this and charges properly, and when plugged into my computer with their cable both my computer and their iPhone recognize the connection).
So, it's definitely a problem with my iPhone itself, but I don't know what.
As I say, it will charge very slowly, if it's switched off whilst it's plugged in, but it won't acknowledge being plugged in, and will only drain if it is turned on whilst being plugged in - and it will not recognize being connect to my computer.
Please help me figure out what is wrong with it, as this is beyond annoying and I'm literally banging my head against the wall - the iPhone is little over a year old.
Cheers.

You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they therefore respond

try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup

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?

Poor video quality with component cable streaming from iphone to tv

Purchased a component cable on the advise of someone at the online apple store. I wanted to stream Netflix, You Tube and HBO GO from my iphone 4 to tv. Both the video and audio or are terrible! There is a constant buzz despite the fact that all connectors are tight. The video is green, squashed and looks like a 20th generation copy of an old video tape. HBO GO will only show the opening screen (which looks great for some reason) but wont play at all. Netflix and YouTube have the above issues with quality. Is this the best the $45 dollar cable will produce? If so, I wish they would have told me that! Am I doing something wrong? If not, back to the store it goes!
I have limited bandwidth and was hoping to use my 3G (which is unlimited) to avoid overages if I chose to stream movies. Any help would be appreciated!

Which iphone do you have?
Netflix only provides this feature for iphone 4, ipod touch 4th gen and ipad.

IPhone 3GS - Display Photos on TV via component cable

The original Apple Component Cable I bought does not permit mi iPhone 3GS to tranfer images to a TV screen.
I can hear the iPod music, but I can not see both Videos (selected from the iPod mode) and Photos (selected from the iPhone menu).
Even if I select the play button on the picture I can not see anything on TV screen. The slideshow starts on my iPhone only and only the music is tranferred to the TV.
Thanks for your help!

Got wrong cable from Apple.

Component cable to TV problem

I have an Ipod Touch 4th Generation and plugged it into my TV using the Apple component cable. It works with youtube but I only get audio when I try to watch streamimg TV. The video is on the Ipod but not on the TV screen.

TV out is not supported by the Google YouTube app. Per:
https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!searchin/youtube/tv$20out/youtube/wbm8v 35tbyg/ndtW9MsNzk4J
1. Use YouPlayer by Homegrown Software Ltd
2. Use the Apple Digital AV Adapter because my Apple device can mirror.
3. Use the Apple VGA Adapter because my Apple device can mirror.
Note that nley the 5G iPod supports mirroring.

Component cable on standard definition input

Hi, I have an Iphone 3G with a component cable. I know this is intended for a high definition input. However, I only have a standard def input. When I plug the blue cable into the yellow video-in plug on the standard def TV, I only get a black and white picture, but no color. I don't get any video if I try the green and red plugs.
I know my problem would be solved with a composite cable, but I'm not close to an Apple store now, and I wold prefer not to buy a new cable. Any ideas for making this work with my current component cable? Thanks.

Sorry. You need the proper cable.

Component cable

Using the component cable with my IPad and Panasonic Viera HDTV - no picture, sound only. The five cables are in the correct place and in securely. I have changed the IPad video settings to try both PAL and NTSC (just in case) and widescreen on and off. Still no joy. Tried booting up IPad after connection made - still nothing. Wanted to try changing the screen resolution on the Panasonic TV but this does not seem possible. Has anyone any ideas what the problem might be?

The video out on the iPad does not mirror the iPad screen and only some apps display some information on the remote screen. Here i a list of the native apps that display:
Videos, on iPad or iPod touch (4th generation), or iPod, on iPhone 4
Photos—Slideshow/Video playback only
YouTube
Safari—Video content on webpages
Keynote (iPad)
There are also other apps that do more. It sounds like you are trying to display something that is not supported by the app you are using.
