IPod classic wont play 3rd party dvd player with apple composite cable

I want to play the videos in my iPod classic 120GB(MB526LL) on my Phillips DCP750 dvd player. I am using the Apple Composite cable which I brought in the spring of 2008 with the Apple Universal Dock (MB125G) and they will not play. When I tried to just use the cable with the Phillips I received the error message “ TV Out Enabled Please Connect Video Accessory “ so I brought the dock Using the dock I do not get the message. Instead the audio comes through the headphones on my iPod but no video on the dvd player nor on the iPod. I have the iPod settings to TV out, screen standard and PAL since I am in the UK. Is it possible that my cables are too old and do not have the chip that I have read about? Should I be using the component cable rather than the composite? I have tried to find the older firmware prior to 1.0.2 but can’t. Is it worth my while to make an appointment with my local Apple store and take cables, player, dock and iPod to the Genius bar? If anyone has had this problem and figured it out could they explain to me step by step what I should be doing. I hate the idea of having to spend more money on cables and will probably just continue to watch videos on the ipod or else on the Macbook if I can not figure out a work around.
Thanks in advance.

I'm so frustrated that this new iMAC doesn't have a program to do this.

IDVD is included with iLife 11 ON DISK.
For making movies there is no alternative or substitute for iDVD. (Buy it while you still can.)
I've tried Burn and Toast and many others, iDVD is by far the best.

For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.

The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

I have an iPhone 5. Which 3rd party apps work with Apple Health to record daily steps???

I have an iPhone 5. Which 3rd party apps work with Apple Health that sync with the daily steps data repository???

Iran uses GSM, so the iPhone 5 will work. It is already unlocked. Just put local Iranian SIM in phone.

I cannot get my new iPod Classic to play through car dvd with USB.

My car stereo is a Clarion VZ709 in dash dvd player. According to Clarion's website, this iPod is supported and should be playing through the USB connection, but all it does is display on the iPod screen "Ready to Disconnect". My new iPad3 64GB WiFi plays perfectly through the car stereo, and it is not even listed in Clarion's list of supported devices. Any idea why one is recognized and not the other? And how to get the iPod recognized? I listed this under "connecting to a mac" since there was no category for connecting to a car stereo. Thanks!

Do a Hard Reset, while connected to the Clarion, hopefully your iPod is fully charged
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the Red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.

My ipod classic wont play movies

my dad said i could have his old ipod 5th gen (classic) and i downloaded one of my videos on to it and when i play it it only plays the sound and shows a frame of the movie like music artwork the same happens with music videos

If these are movies and music videos from the iTunes Store, I don't think they play on the 5th gen iPod (the first "video iPod"). The 5th gen iPod was released before the iTunes Store started selling video content. Unlike songs from the iTunes Store, the commercial video content (Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos) have DRM (copy protection). My understanding is that the 5th gen iPod does not have a "chip" needed to play the protected content.
Also, the 5th gen iPod can generally play video content with resolution up to 320x240. Later iPods (that play video) can go up to 640x480. So, that may be why it plays the audio but not the video on the ones you tried. It's the first iPod to play videos; it's more limited in what it can do.

Doesnt work with any type of speakers through the headphone jack and it doesnt play when docked on a ihome. It will still hold music, it looks like it playing because the time continues and the blue bar moves, but no audio.

Can i make a slideshow in iPhoto to play in a dvd player with out going to iDVD

I need to have a slide show to play in the funeral parlor dvd player,
Can I do that right out of iPhoto? with out haveing to learn iDVD or iMovie
I have experimented exporting into iTunes, then putting it into iDVD but it seems like redundancy. There is a depth to iDVD that i really don't need/want if I don't have to go there.
The slideshow is the way I like it in iPHOTO, music, ect.
Before I get in over my head with applicatons I am unfamiliar with i thought I would ask the community.
OH, an if so, HOW DO I DO IT!!!
OH also, time is of the essence, today is Friday, Wednesday is the funeral
thanx

follow up:
then there is this one
You can put up to 2 hours of playing time on an iDVD video DVD. Create the slideshow in iPhoto with an aspect ratio of 4:3 (iDVD) and export it at Size = Medium or Large. This will create a Quicktime movie file.
Open iDVD, create a project and select a theme. Drag the exported Quicktime movie file into the iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones. (???)
Follow this workflowin iDVD to help ensure the best quality final product:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Can I use my dvd player with apple tv?

I just got an apple tv unit. I have dvd's stored to a hard drive and want to stream to the tv through the apple tv unit. However, the dvd player will not work when I do this. It works fine if I play on the MacBook, but one of the primary reasons I got the apple tv unit was for streaming. Is there an app or download to solve this problem? Or, should I use a different dvd playing program or application?

Yes, you should be able to.

Using dvd player with apple TV and airplay

I am having problems to use the apple TV to see a DVD with the air play mode
I tried to watch a movie using the default DVD player that comes with my iMac and when I activated air play to connect the iMac with the projector through the Apple TV, the video window would go blank
The problem disappears as soon as I disactivate airplay but then I cannot use the projector big screen
Funny eough I do not have this problem when I use VLC to watch .avi files
Can anyone help?
thanks
Valentina
PS I have the latest version of the Apple TV

it happens with remote desktop too it's the DRM copy protection of dvd's which kick in
so the native player is doing the right thing and VLC may be breaking the law as it's compromising the digital material in a way it could be copied

HT1339 ipod classic doesnt play

My 80gb ipod Classic wont play. The music syncs with my itunes and it all appears to be there, but when I click on a song to play it, nothing plays. I hear a small (only can hear it of you put your ear to it) high pitched whirring and ping sound as if its trying to do something and keeps repeating the process. Any ideas how I can get past this?
I've tried restoring it and I get a 1413 eror message. I've tried installing the new versions of ITunes and we're all up to date.

I assume you have tried everything in this article?
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

I pod classic wont play in stereo

Cds transferred to itunes then onto ipod classic wont play in stereo via headphones

Do songs play in stereo in your iTunes? If not, are you importing the songs in mono? (Check Edit/Preferences/General/Import Settings - there are two settings boxes, Import Using and Setting. If the Setting is "custom" look in there and make sure Channels is set to "Auto" or "Stereo".)
Have you tried the headphones in another player? What happens if you do?
Is there a stereo/mono switch on your headphones?
Are the songs in mono on the CD?
Is the headphone plug pushed fully into the jack?
When you say mono, do you mean sound from only one speaker or do you mean "exactly the same sound from each speaker" so that there is no left/right sound?
