IPhone 5, lightning adapter, Life Fitness treadmills

Hi, has anyone tried the iPhone 5 with the lightning adapter in the life fitness treadmills that have iPod 30pin connectors. I tried myself and it didn't work, it recognizes the iPhone which charges and says accessory connected in the iPhone screen but apparently an image with controls of my music library are supposed to appear in the treadmill. Is this an "iPod out" functionality or is it because video is not supported or there is something I am missing (first time I try to connect iPhone/iPod to these machines).
I was wondering if somebody else has tried.
Thanks
ps: I have sent an email o Life Fitness with this issue as they said before that audio should work and I am awaiting their answer.

I just bought an Ipod nano 7th generation and the lightning to 30 pin adapter and can get the music player to work just fine on Life Fitness equipment at my gym.  What I can not get the equpment to do though is recognize it as having video playback capabilities.   My Iphone 4s works great to play video on the equpment, but not the new Ipod with an adapter.

  • Lightning adapter will not fit to iPhone 5S with apple case on the phone

    I recently purchased the lightning adapter for my iPhone 5S and the adapter does not insert properly when the Apple leather case is fitted to the phone, surely Apple do not expect one to remove the case to use the adapter?

    Yeah, it doesn't look like much, but I'm leaving in the player dock and you can't see it when it's plugged in. Better than taking case on/off all the time. I didn't wanna cut my case because I don't think there'll be enough of it left to hold together very long. Good luck with yours! I wish ape would have just included a little extension stub with their adapter.

  • HT1665 I just purchassed a Lightning adapter for my iPhone 5.  My car came with the normal iphone 4 connector.  I have a protective cover on my phone but now the connector will not work as the lightning connecting tong is not long enough to make contact.

    Lightning adapter will not work with iPhone 5 protective cover

    Your case designer should have done their homework .
    They would have full details of the iPhone and its accessories

  • 30 Pin cable combined with a 30 pin to Lightning Adapter (iPhone 5 problem)

    Hey guys, I Have an iPhone 5.
    I have an old iPhone 4 cable (official apple) and a lightning adapter (again, official apple) and I can charge from the wall no problem, however I don't seem to be able to connect it to my laptop for iTunes to recognise it?/
    It's not the usb ports as I borrowed my brother's iPhone 5 lightning cable and that seems to work perfect, is there any reason why this doesn't work?

    If you mean the 30 pin to lightning adapter, then it should be from apple. It was pretty expensive and if i google the item number on google, Applestores webpage showes up as number 2 so it should be authentic!
    Item number:

  • Why doesn't a genuine Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter work with an iPhone 6 Plus?

    Hello all -  I was wondering if anyone else out there was having an issue with their Apple 30 pin to Lightning adapter not working with their new iPhone 6 Plus?  The adapter worked fine with my iPhone 5, but since I got my new phone, I keep getting the message that says that "this accessory may not be compatible..." Did Apple change something with their Lightning ports?  Should I purchase a new 30 pin to Lightning adapter?  This is annoying!  I have used it in my car (Kia) for over a year with an iPhone 5 and it worked flawlessly.

    Howdy nanster23,
    If you have as yet been unable to use this 30pin to lightning bolt adapter, I would like to recommend the troubleshooting in the following article to help you get that squared away:
    If you need help with iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch accessories
    These sections in particular since you have already done a couple of them:
    Disconnect and inspect the accessory, then restart your device
    Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible.
    Inspect the connection between the accessory and device and make sure that no debris or other damage is present.
    Restart your iOS device by turning it off, then back on. When the Home screen appears, reconnect the accessory.
    Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Restore your iOS device. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • Can I control my iphone from an accessory using the 30 pin/lightning adapter?

    I want to use my old accessories to control an iPhone 5s (e.g. skip tracks using my dock remote control), does the 30 pin/lightning adapter work for this or is it just for charging/audio out?

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!

  • Problems with a lightning adapter - connecting my iphone 5 to a 30-pin audio cable in my car.

    Randomly, the audio stops recognizing my connection to my car stereo via a 30-pin audio cable connected to my iphone 5 via a lightning adapter. It switches to the internal speaker and I have no idea how or why. It resolves itself just as unpredictably. I cannot replicate these conditions predictably. I have tried another lightning connector and a different audio cable. Due to damage, I also recently changed to a new iphone 5. The problem still exists. It appears to be related to the connector or iOS. Is anyone else having this problem?

    Check the charging port of the phone for lint/debris. Clean it out with a dry toothbrush, or wooden toothpick if necessary.

  • Is there a way to display iPad Mini on TV using Lightning Adapter?

    I can do it with my old iPad but the Mini is reporting that it doesn't recognize the Lightning adapter. I have the HDMI cable plugged into the TV, the other end of the HDMI cable is plugged into an Apple HDMI to 30-pin adapter, and then I have a 30-pin to Lightning adapter connected which is plugged into the iPad mini. With this configuration I am not getting any transfer of picture from the Mini to the TV - the Mini is even reporting that it doesn't recognize the adapter (have tried the adapter in an iPhone 5 with the same result). Plug an old iPhone 4 into the 30-pin adapter and get picture on the TV.
    Is there something in the Settings that needs to be configured?
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    That will not work. You need to get this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3 a

  • 30 pin to lightning adapter broken?

    My official apple 30 pin to lightning adapter has randomly stopped working.  It worked in my car and on my dock, but all of a sudden the ipod says device not supported when connected and the dock doesn't connect at all.  Tried girlfriend's iphone 5 and same result on the dock and in the car.  Any advice or is it just the adapter that has broken?  Thanks

    Have checked for fluff and given it a good blow to clear anything out. The ipod charges fine with the lightning usb charger but still no joy.  As the iphone didn't work either I suspect the chip may have failed.  I purchased 6 November 2013 so just in the 12 months warranty so it looks as though a trip to the apple store may be required.
    Thank you

  • 30 pin to lightning adapter revised?  How to purchase original version?.

    In November of 2012 I ordered a 30 pin to lightning adapter through Amazon.  It had the model number A1468 on the back.  I believe Apple was the supplier for this part as it had all their standard info printed on the back of the adapter.
    I used it with my iPhone 5 and later with my iPad mini to work with my Altec Lansing T612 stereo speaker docks.  It worked great.  It charged and it passed audio through.
    Fast forward to this month and I purchase another adapter through Amazon using the same product link.  It won't charge or pass audio.  I try a second vendor and same issue.  I also try 4XEM and theirs charges, but won't pass audio.
    I go to the Apple store in town and purchase one.  I notice immediately the part is wider than mine and not as tall.  It also doesn't match the picture on the box.  It doesn't charge or pass audio.  My working adapter from 2012 looks like the picture on the box.  Seems to me the part was revised.
    How can I purchase more of these earlier versions of this adapter?

    I have several genuine Apple 30/lightning adapters
    Just compared one purchased back last Sept direct from Apple online at iPhone 5 release and one purchased couple of weeks ago at an Apple Retail store ,both unquestionably genuine Apple
    They are identical
    I was not aware that Amazon was selling genuine Apple adapters last year ,however there were many unlicenced
    copies around and certainly on Amazon .
    The description you give of the box is nothing like the detail on a Genuine Apple product ,in front of me now.

  • LIGHTNING ADAPTER has fused to the USB port that is factory installed in my car.

    LIGHTNING ADAPTER has fused to the USB port that is factory installed in my car.  It will not release from the port and the port is no longer working as a result of my efforts to retrieve the USB cord.  I have been an iPhone owner since the first release in 2007.  I have never had a problem with my Apple products and have remained an enthusiastic, loyal customer.  It is my understanding that Apple only has "extra" USB cords in Apple store.  I live in a rural area without access to an Apple Store.  Retailers and Carriers did not receive shipments of extra charging cords.  This is unacceptable.  I am absolutely at a loss because my port in my brand new car is not longer functioning and will likely have to be replaced, AT MY EXPENSE. My "Lightning" cord is literally stuck in my vehicle.  My phone is currently sitting at Radioshack being charged so that I have at least a charge when I head out of town on business early tomorrow morning.  Suggestions please as I am a VERY unhappy customer!

    This happened to me and a bunch of others as well. https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4321665?start=0&tstart=0

  • Will the Lightning Adapter support remote functionality?

    I have an existing dock, which should work with the lightning adapter. The dock also came with a remote with controlled the iphone4 and 4s. Will remote functionality be maintained through this adapter? The website info on this adapter is a vague, and unhelpful.
    My dock luckily has a line-in, so if the remote functionality doesnt work, then why bother paying $35 canadian for this adapter. When I'll have to manually control the iphone/ipod anyways.

    The adapter will work with ipod dock as to playing musics. But some people are having problem with charging while docked. Ask apple store if the adapter will also work for charging the ipod befor you buy it (because it should supposed to be).

    I'm talking about an Apple "Universal Dock" that I used with my 4th gen iPod Touch, which was then connected to my Hi-Fi system via the audio connector on the back of the dock. Worked perfectly!
    Now when I mount the Lightning Adapter (to 30 pin) on the dock, and then my new 5th gen iPod Touch, there's no audio out of that dock audio connector.
    just had a chance to test your test
    I took both a Universal dock and an iPad dock
    Added the 30 pin adapter plugged in to both ( one at a time)
    plugged in my iPhone 5 and then attached the dock to an external speaker via the
    3.5mm socket and the Aux in on the speaker
    played music on the iPhone 5 and it played perfectly through the speakers trying both docs
    So sorry the 30 pin to Lightning adapter DOES transmit music
