IPhone Video Out?

I want to be able to show video on a TV, and with the new 1.1.1 update we are supposed to be able to do that. Has anyone been able to do this? Is there even a dock or cable that has been made for the iphone?

Essentially he's right, except that you can preorder the cables now.

Note that since the Touch is out these cables are of prime importance, so I'm sure they will be available within the month as they state. Also note you can buy either a composite or a component video cable -- make sure you get the one you need unless you need both (at $50 a piece it's kind of pricey to pick them both up)

IPhone video out problem

I have a iPhone compatible composite video out cable. When I select a video to play, it plays (video/audio) on the TV for about 8 seconds then the video quits playing. The iPhone goes back to the video list screen. When I restart the video only audio plays back on the TV. The video plays on the iPhone screen. Anyone have any suggestions?

Do you have the Apple Composite AV Cable? Note that there's a decryption chip in the Apple cable that's required for functionality with the iPhone. 3rd party cables don't work (although they may claim to work, they don't).

Video Out on iPhone 4

I have Apples audio and video out cable adapter. One end plugs into the dock connector, the other end has left and right audio out, and composite video out.
When I use this cable adapter with my iPod, all videos play perfectly on any television set. However, when I use the same cable on my iPhone 4 I get audio but no video.
I suspect that Apple has crippled the video out for some reason. Please tell me I'm wrong.

I am simply trying to watch NASA TV using my iPhone. I used to get NASA TV from DirecTV, but you must now have HD DirecTV to get NASA TV. ( we still get 100 channels of infomercials however.)

I have a bad habit of asking questions that no one knows the answer to.
Do I get a prize?

Video out from iPhone 3GS to TV.

Can I use the standard (3 phono plugs on the end) video out lead I already have to view keynote presentations from my iPhone 3GS on my TV/Projector?

Same problem here.
I can't get any video out of my faithful iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.xx.
I have been browsing Apple discussions for solutions and most of them seem to point out to a faulty Video Composite cable. This is not my case.
I can rule that out 100%.
Old iPhone 3G running ios 3.1.2 works just fine as well as does iPhone 4, with the same cable.
I have tried with a friend's TV and cable and iPhone 3GS and we have identical issues.
(different cables and phones, same issue).
Please note all testing has been done with genuine Apple Video composite cables.
So this points out clearly to a iphone iOS issue combined with hardware.
It appears that starting from iOS > 5.0 video output has been disabled on earlier iPhone models prior to 4.
It would be nice if Apple could issue a Knowledge Base document on the issue as that would save many people further testing and waste of time.
This document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108? isn't really complete enough as it stops at iphone 4.
Has anybody the ultimate answer on this issue?
Are there any known work-arounds?
Thanks and regards

How do you get the video out to TV to work on the iPhone 3GS

I cannot get the video out to TV to work on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1.1.
I am using the $40.00 apple composite AV cables and nothing seems to work. With the cables connected to tv input nothing shows up in general settings for video out. Or anywhere else for that matter. I have tried many different TV's, sometimes I get audio but never never ever video . Does anyone else have this problem or better yet the answer?

Thanks for responding to my question about not being able to get the video out to work on my iphone 3GS. In answer to your question i couldnt get any video to work at all. But, i do know what was wrong now. The whole problem was the brand new $40.00 set of apple composite AV cables i just bought was no good. This afternoon i took a trip to the nearest apple retail outlet (30 miles away) with phone and cables in hand. And after doing a little head scratching of their own they decided to try another set of cables, and low and behold the darn thing worked like a charm.I was very impressed by the service at the apple store even though i didnt buy either product from them. I wonder if there is a bad batch of cables floating around out there because it looks like other people out there are having the same problem, which is why i didnt really suspect the cables. Thanks again for responding. Micdude001

No video out from old iPhone/UniverslDock/CompositeCable

Ok - what's up with this - I've got iPhone (the original one) with the latest update (2.0) connected to my TV via Apple Universal Dock and the Apple Composite Cable. I get audio, no video. What's up with this?
I do remember a LOOooong time ago having this problem with the video iPod and there was something about having to either turn TV on after or before connecting cable - don't remember but I tried both turning TV on after cables are connected and connecting cables after TV is turned on and still no workie.
??????

I also believe this is a bug, but I found a workaround. I after starting the video you press the wake-up button, the iPhone screen goes off, but the video keeps playing. Now if you pause using the remote, you can also resume using the remote without having to unlock the iPhone.
The weirdest thing about this is that after doing it once, you can unlock you iPhone and be able to pause and resume as expected. As soon as you change the video (that is, you turn the video out off) the iPhone forgets what he just learned and doesn't resume from the remote again.
So as a rule I always turn the iPhone screen off after starting a video. So I'm able to use my remote nicely. I hope this works for you too... and that it gets corrected in the next SW version!

Does iPhone do Video Out via video cables?

I can't find any reference to this in the iPhone user guide, so I'm guessing it can't, but I thought I'd ask here.
Can iPhone send video out to an external TV using the iPod Video Connection Cable?

This might help.

IPhone 2G video out problems

Hi all,
Since updating to 2.1 (via Pwnage) I have been unable to get video out in my iPhone 2G.
I have Apple component AV cables which worked fine on 2.01 with both my TV and the projectors used at University (I use this in my lectures). Upgrading to 2.2 has not fixed the problem.
Annyhoo, once I plug them in I get the dreaded 'This device is not compatible etc...' message and all I get is audio. I have even had this warning when using the cable and the wall plug to recharge.
I have looked through MacTalk and Apple's Support site and several people have been having trouble with 3rd party cables but mine are Apple, came in the nice shiny (expensive) box 'n everything. Apple Support (US) definitely lists this cable as compatible with my iPhone.
Can anyone offer practical advice, or do I have to back to 2.01 to get this to work?

Restore your iPhone to the factory firmware, then try the Apple Component AV Cable. Else, seek elsewhere for assistance, as Apple Discussions is not the place to seek support for hacked/jailbroken iPhones.

Iphone for VGA Video Out not working

We have the Iphone/iPad VGA to Monitor connector. We tested it with 3 different iPhone 4 phones... It worked on 2 of them, but the 3rd woudn't work. What possible reason would it not work? The 3 phones had software of 4.3 and higher...

Dr. L,
The previous iPod's did not support component video out for newer televisions that support it. The box for the older Video out cables do not say they support the iPhone.
The current video out cables are available in either component or composite video out. They also say they support the iPhone on the box.
In addition when shopping the Apple Store online for iPod or iPhone accessories there is a compatibility guide which shows icons of the iPod models or iPhone that are supported.
Overall my personal experience is that this, and other Apple specific ones, are much smaller compatibility, and downtime driver for IT than many of them I have run across supporting a variety of computer and networking platforms over the last 23 years.
Hope this helps,

Iphone Videos & Video Out not working

Hi All,
I have several TV programmes on my iphone, and yet when i plug the iphone into my TV using the apple composite AV cable, and tell the iphone to display on screen nothing happens, no sound or picture at all.
I have just moved to Chicago from London so the video setting in the Iphone is PAL, could that be what is affecting it, should I change this setting ? The TV in the apartment is quite old fashioned and a brand name I don't recognise (Insignia CRT) so not sure whether it is the TV, but it has the right inputs.
Any ideas much appreciated
Thanks

IPhone & Universal Dock - No video out after resume from pause

OK - original 16GB iPhone, latest universal dock and Apple Composite cable, hooked to a 42" Sony LCD TV. iPhone is at latest revision.
Used to be that if I used the remote to pause a video, I could wander off, make a cup of coffee, and when I came back, even though the iPhone was locked, I could press play on the remote and carry on where I Ieft off. Recently though, when I try to resume from the paused state, I get sound but no video and I have to walk over to the docked iPhone, unlock it, and then I get video out.
I can only assume that this bug was introduced (or the previously working feature was removed) by a software update. Whatever the cause, it is a pain.
The cynic in me would assume that it is Apple's sneaky way of reducing the feature set to below the minimum expected so as to drive users to buy an Apple TV. The optimist in me assumes it is a bug and it CAN BE FIXED IN THE NEXT RELEASE!
Anybody else experienced this issue?

Video Out on iPhone 4 and iOS 6

To watch downloaded video, I connect my iPhone 4 to my TV using an AV dock-to-component cable. Since installing iOS 6, my iPhone says it "does not support that accessory." I knew of the video out issues with iPhone 5 but didn't read anywhere that it would break functioning video on an iPhone 4. You could call me a very unhapppy camper.
Does anyone have a solution or a workaround?

I am having some crazy issues over the last couple days and I live in SF Bay area too. On AT&T not Verizon. Updated to ios6 almost a month ago and didnt start having issue until Thursday
First I'm stuck in a call, can't end or go to screen that shows the keypad or put on speaker; nothing.
2.Then on Fri no badge on SMS app and all new and old texts gone.
3. Can't even start new sms from icon in top right nor from send message button in each contact
Does any of this sound familiar?

I can't find video out on my iphone 3gs

I bought an apple component cable for my iphone 3gs and/or 4th generation itouch. But even when the cable is plugged in I can't find the video out setting.
I realize that since the new update to 5, this setting is in a different location (under general), but it is still not showing up.
New Samsung TV is not recognizing anything, no sound, nothing. Cant seem to find a straight forward answer online.
I was hoping to watch netflix from phone through TV.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

iphone 3s and iphone 4 dont support mirror so it will only use the video out when it's in an supported app test with youtube and maybe video apple app
netflix may not support video out

IPhone and video out

I have tried to pass video from my iPhone as well as my touch to my TV through my receiver without any success. I know that on the regular iPod that you have to switch to video out, however, I cannot find this option on my iPhone. I am using the Apple accessories. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When did you get the cables for it. Not all older cables for TV out work for iPhone/iPod Touch. I bought set after getting iPhone and verified they said would work with iPhone. Works good for me.
Only settings are in Settings => iPod.
But default settings should be good.
