IPod Nano Video-Out to TV (Via new Apple Component cable) DOESN"T WORK

It doesn't work on my nano. The sound plays fine, the video is distorted. It isn't the cable, since I have an iPod Touch that displays fine.
I've tinkered with the settings : Widescreen, NTSC, Fit to Screen, etc... none of it helps. Still shows a distorted image (like when a computer displays the wrong resolution on a screen, or the way a channel on Cable looks if you aren't subscribed to it).
Is my Nano defective? Am I going to have to rally up several other Nano users with similar issues, post it up on my blog?
Anyone can help me?
Also, my iPod Touch doesn't display photo transitions (cube, wipe, etc) only fades.... even though I've attempted switching the settings. Only works when the component cable is disconnected. Any help on this too?

Did you check the settings on the TV itself? Are you feeding the video through a A/V receiver?
Those may also be distorting your picture.
In my case, I'm going from my Nano>Yamaha A/V receiver>Mitsubishi 65" WS TV.
Once I set my receiver up, and set my TV to standard, I was getting a distortion-free picture (at least with the "Jack-Jack" short that I got free from iTunes). My setting in the Nano were WS & NTSC. Everything was cool (I was surprised on how good the picture looked, but then my Yamaha is great for upscaling).
I don't know if this helped, but if you list a little more about your config, I might be able to assit better.

  • New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

    I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
    I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
    I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
    During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
    I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
    After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

    this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

  • IPod Nano Video Out Problem??

    I recently bought one of the new iPod universal docks (straight infra-red port), and I plugged in my "Official" iPod RCA cable into the "line out" port on the dock. I put it into my TV, and I could hear audio, but no video. Do I need to connect the 30-Pin video cable, or should I get the dock replaced?
    Thanks!

    Did you go to Videos > Settings > TV Out and set it to "On" or "Ask"
    And did you start the video from the Video menu?

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Ipod nano video firmware

    I think the current v1.0.2 firmware is in need of an update, as this has caused me no end of problems with my ipod nano video, causing it to shutdown on it's own and then require switch to disk mode, to restore. Trouble is, each time I get it back to v1.0.1 firmware, as soon as it's connected to iTunes, it recognises v1.0.2 is available and prompts me to install (whether I have auto update checked or not).
    With v1.0.2 I also have a problem after I've added songs as the ipod just switches to a black screen with the apple logo and it can't be used. Not much use for a player bought as a present for someone.
    So c'mon Apple, do the decent thing and provide a firmware update to fix this problem, as it seems I'm far from being the only one having problems going by the forums here.

    Send your feedback to Apple via the appropriate link.
    iPod Feedback.
    Also, when discussing the nano 3rd gen, it's always best to use the correct forum.

  • MAJOR PROBLEM ABOUT VIDEOS IN IPOD NANO VIDEOS!

    i neeeed help !
    i added mpegs videos to iTunes Library but when i tried updating my iPod nano video , it wouldnt and it says it has to be converted so the videocan be used for the iPod and i did but when i played the videos on the iPod nano Video there was no sound .
    HOW IN TTHE WORLD DID THAT HAPPEN?
    anyone has answers for me pls. ?

    There is no such thing as a nano video.
    There is a fifth-generation, full sized iPod capable of video, but there is no nano capable of video playback.
    What ipod do you have? The fact that you say it does play video indicates that it's a fifth-gen. If that's the case, what version firmware are you running? Go to SETTINGS > ABOUT to find out.
    Cheers!

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • 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?

  • Would  it be more expensive to replace the screen on my iPod nano generation 6 or purchase a new one?

    Today I dropped my sixth generation iPod nano which cracked the screen, and my "Apple Care" has runout. Would I be better off purchasing a new iPod or having the screen replaced by a Springboard Apple Specialist.

    AppleCare does not apply to accidents, so it would not have helped.
    You can get an Apple Certified Refurb iPod nano (8GB) for $99, which has the same one-year warranty as a new one.  And it looks new.  You'll have to get a quote from your repair specialist and decide if it's an economical repair.

  • My iPod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from iTunes

    my ipod nano 4th generation won't download newer podcasts from itunes

    If you use automatic syncing, select the iPod in iTunes.  There is a row of "tabs" (starting with Summary).  Click on Podcasts there.  This is the Podcasts tab, where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts.
    Sync Podcasts is checkmarked for automatic syncing.  Below that, set up the Podcasts tab to sync podcasts as desired.  For example, you can set it to Automatically include all unplayed episodes of selected podcasts.  The "all unplayed" option gets new podcasts episodes to sync automatically. Select the podcasts below. 
    When you click Apply, your selection on the Podcasts tab (and the other tabs...  Music, Books, etc.) sync to the iPod.  If the iPod was NOT previously set to use automatic syncing, its existing content is replaced.

  • IPod Nano Video & iChat A/V

    This is a shot in the dark, but does anyone know if you can use an iPod Nano Video as a web cam for your iChat? I have not found any documentation on this but it would make sense if you could.

    Doubt it very much.

  • New ipod nano (6th gen) question - can it do apple remote?

    I was wondering if the new ipod nano touch (announced sept 2010) can install apple's Remote app to control itunes? It would be awesome to have such a small remote control for itunes.

    Hi Subw00er,
    From what I see on the iPod nano spec page, it doesn't do apps. It's a music/picture/podcast player.
    iPod nano Technical Specifications
    Note the bottom section under, "Which iPod are you?"
    Capability
    Music, audiobooks, podcasts, photos, FM radio, pedometer, Nike + iPod support
    Hope that helps,

  • My computer basically ignores my iPod Nano 5th generation when I plug in the USB cable.

    My iPod is always fully charged when I try to plug it in and I have the latest iTunes installed. My computer gives me nothing, not an error or a pop-up. Nothing. My iPod seems to be charging when plugged in, but even when my iPod stops charging, my computer does nothing. I cannot add music, books, videos, nothing. I've tried resetting both my computer and my iPod, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, putting the iPod into "Disk Mode", but nothing seems to work. I really am at a lost at what to do from this point. If you could help that would be most appreciated.

    Alright, guys, I found a solution! Hurray! I bought a new USB cord/cable and it works perfect now. So YAY!

  • I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
    I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.
