Iphone 4s Composite AV cable

Hi There,
I have recently purchased an Iphone composite AV cable in order to watch films and stuff on the telly via my Iphone 4s. I have connected the cables into the TV and recieving sound from the telly however there is no video coming from the TV.
I have seen on other discussions that you are meant to go to settings> general > TV out which only appears if it is all connected properly but this isn't appearing even though I have checked and re-checked that they are connected properly and the sound is coming out?
Any suggestions on what is going wrong will be hugely appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex
P.s I am using ios7

The composite and component cables do not support mirroring.  The HDMI cable does and I believe the VGA cable also does.

  • 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

  • IPhone 4: connecting to TV for the 1st time with new "Composite AV Cable" only plays sound, not video on TV. However, this new cable works fine with old iPod to play videos on TV. Suggestions?

    I'm trying to connect my iPhone 4 to my TV to play videos via use of a new "Composite AV Cable" but only sound will play off TV, not video.  I've tried every yellow/red/white input on the TV but to no avail.  Any suggestions?

    The iPhone 4, unlike iPod, doesn't ask you to set for PAL or NTSC.  In fact, in the SETTINGS/Video menu it only asks if you want to "Start Playing From Beginning", "Closed Captioning" and "Home Sharing".  I was surprised it had no settings like the iPod at all.

  • Apple Branded Composite AV Cable (& iPhone 3GS)

    Hi There,
    I'm attempting to use my iPhone 3GS (running OS 4.3.2) to watch movies through my TV, however I only get audio & no video.  I am using the authentic Apple Composite AV Cable, and have already made sure that my Settings are proper (as far as I have found).  I have gone Settings - iPod - TV Out - TV Signal - NTSC. 
    I have tried my 4th generation iPod with a video on it with these cables, and it works perfectly fine (both audio & video) - so I know the cables are not defective.
    Is there anything I'm missing?!  Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I don't tend to use my iPod much since its only a 4gb, and rather use my 32gb iPhone to store my videos.
    Thanks ahead of time!

    Hello there....
    Last week I tried to use my iphone 3gs to watch a video on my tv using the composite av cable and I got the annoying message: "This accessory is not optimized for this iphone.....".  I first checked my iphone connector and cleaned it out using compressed air (it was really dirty).  Tried the av cable again and still got the same message.  Called apple tech support and after about 4 hours, they recommended a few things.  After a restart, hard reset, and restore as new device....still not progress.
    Finally, today I went to the apple store and the rep checked my iphone and said the it could be a problem with the iphone...but after testing one of their 3gs phones, he got the same message and no video....then asked him to check the iphone 4 whick worked fine.....
    Apparently, the problem is with the OS and he could only suggest waiting for the next update and input the problem into the feedback page.....
    Bottom line, your 3gs is not the problem....it is the OS.
    Hope this helps someone out there since it took me about 5 days and a lot of frustration to figure out the problem.
    The best thing to do is to report it to apple as much as possible so they can get going on a fix...

  • Original iPhone, latest firmware, universal dock, composite AV cable ...

    and a plasma tv...
    I am trying to watch some ITunes U movies on my plasma set while working out. So i buy a universal dock, the composite AV cable for the iPhone, hook it all up and try to watch an episode. What happens is that the video on the iPhone becomes frozen with the title, and i get sound but no video on the Plasma. The Plasma (having S-Video and Video in connectors) displays S-Video as the input source...
    So, a basic, stupid question. If i have, let's say an HD video on the iPhone, and try to play this over TV Out, is that supposed to work over a composite cable? Or do i need to convert those videos to 576i first? Meaning, does the iphone do any kind of conversion on the fly for the signal, or not?
    If it does, what else could be the problem here?
    Frank

    Frank,
    I am able to play videos from my iPhone using composite cables. I have a Panasonic plasma TV and when I first tried to play a video I found It would not play using my normal "cable" setting. I had to use the remote control that came with my TV and select another "cable" setting, after which it played perfectly (sound and picture). Finally,make sure that the input jacks are pushed in all the way.

  • Apple iPhone 3G Dock + Apple Composite AV Cable

    Trying to use an Apple Composite AV Cable (MB129LL/B) on a Apple iPhone 3G Dock (MB484G/A) connected to a LCD: No go (regarding video out) so far - is it only me? Has someone got this working together?

    +At least the Apple Universal Dock is advertised as working http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454+
    +But I don't want to spend another $49 (dock) + $9 (3G dock adapter)+
    I purchase an Apple Universal Dock from the AppleStore in Sydney. It came with the iPhone 3G dock adapter even though at the time on the online AppleStore it said it didn't. In fact I bought the iPhone 3G dock adapter and had to return it.

  • How to view youtube videos from iphone 4 to tv using composite AV cable

    Hi,
    Can any one please help me as to how to view youtube online videos on TV through my iphone 4. I tried connecting the iphone 4 and TV with a composite AV cable however I can hear only the audio but am not able to view the videos.

    It seems so stupid that you cant sort videos by date. Some please tell is that we are idiots and tell us how? And if u simply cant, well a big shout out goes to google for being right on top of things. I hate google! Company is too big and they cant keep up apparently. Sooo much junk on you tube and they cant give us filter and sort options on the most widely used tablet on the market.? Gawd pleeeeze tell me im an idiot!

    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?

  • What composite video cables work with iphone 3GS firmware 3.0??

    I want to buy the cheapest possible AV composite cable for my iphone 3GS with firmware 3.0.
    What cables can I buy that'll work with these requirements??
    Thanks!

    You need to purchase the Apple Component AV Cable or the Apple Composite AV Cable. 3rd party cables won't work with the iPhone - there's an encryption chip in the the Apple cables that is required.

  • After updating ipad 2 to IOS 5.1 composite video cable says "this accessory is not supported by iPad"

    Now that I have updated my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to 5.1, when I connect my composite video cable to watch netflix or other video on my TV I get the message that the accessory is not supported.  The audio goes through fine, but the video only plays on the device.  Anyone else run into this?  Ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Even worst, I use my iPod touch at the gym cause our bikes and threadmills have iPod connection (and screen of course) so I used watch TV shows from my iPad. Last week, thought the treadmill connector on the machine was broken... from what I see, it's the TV out on the iPad that is not working anymore.
    Once home, I used my composite cable, well just like you got a message : "not supported" tried on iPad and Ipod Touch.
    THANKS APPLE WITH YOUR STUPID UPDATES!!!!
    But now seems your Video cables won't be selling much if not working hey?
    And reboot has no effect, don't waste your time.

  • 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

    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).

    I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
    If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?
    Please let us know what feedback you got from asking Apple support.

  • 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.

  • Video streamed from YouTube using the Apple Composite AV Cable

    I used to have video streamed from YouTube on my iPad to my TV using the Apple Composite AV Cable, this was in previous versions till the iOS 6 release, then YouTube no longer streams video through this cable :'(
    Very annoying really to miss a feature through a software upgrade!
    Please help me.

    Looks like the connector that goes into the iPad doesn't precisely connect all pins and lock the whole thing in place as well as we would think an Apple-branded product would. I discovered after four hours that if I pull my AV composite cable from the iPad without turning the iPad off (not the Apple recommended way - perhaps there's a better way, like replugging with it off?) and plugging it back in, *poof* I get video again. Now, Netflix still isn't working, but U-Tubes and photo slideshows are back with awesome-quality sound. I believe I'll get similar results when I try this on my iPhone 4.
    I guess Apple TV is really the only way to get the luxury back of being able to stay focused on your entertainment and not this equipment because this was spozed to be a movie nite for me four hous ago. I just wish Apple TV had as much content as the Roku.
    Anyway, just plug and re-plug, but don't be too hard on it. You might also have to turn widescreen off and back on again.
