IPod Touch - video out using older iPod Composite cable

OK so the running commentary about video output from the iPod touch is a little confusing. It seems that the only video out supported by apple seems to be from their own component/composite cables. The older iPod Photo came with a 1/8" headphone A/V composite cable that allowed me to connect it to my TV for photo slide-shows with a soundtrack. Can I use this same cable to connect the IPT with my TV or am I now forced to purchase the $50.00 30-pin cable? I cannot find anything that is definitive, and I have not tried it yet. After spending a small fortune on the iPod I am not excited about having to buy a new cable...
Thanks

Just the cable - I was using "dock" in the sense of dock connector (which is how the non-USB end is referred to), not the Universal Dock product.
Here are links to the Apple Store for the component and composite cables. These also include a USB cable for power.
You're guessing correctly - the USB cable (with the dock connector on the other end) that you use for syncing cannot transmit video from the IPT.

  • IPod touch video out - iPlayer

    Hi
    Does iPlayer work through the video out of an ipod touch? e.g. using the universal dock and a cable from the dock to the TV?
    Thanks

    Great question, shame it's not answered yet. From other threads it seems there are limitatinos on what shows, and Safari doesn't seem to be included.
    I too would like to know, Furthermore, will it significantly affect the quality of the video if I choose compsite or component video out cables; and does 'component', for the iPod Touch, mean RGB or YPbPr (my palmsa TV supports the latter).
    Welcome a reply if anyone has one!

  • IPod Touch video out to Composite "Hard Starting"!

    Did you ever own a car that was a beast to start on a cold winter morning?
    Well, same thing with my iPod Touch 4 to a composite video display.  I connect it, then go to YouTube to play a video or into my Movies folder to play one of my own.
    I press play, and one of the following happens:
    1.  Video & Audio continue to play through iPod Touch(most common).
    2. Audio only plays through TV speakers.
    3. Video only through TV, audio via iPod Touch Speakers.
    Sometimes it works only after I power down and power up the Touch.
    Why does playing a video out to an external display have to be like starting an old car - multiple attempts??

    My iPod touch 4gen video out does work - but rarely on the first try.  And I always make sure to have it connected before bringing up the YouTube or personal video I want to show.
    As for my wife's iPhone 4, I was updating the OS and noticed that one of the update items included "Video Out".
    Is video out not standard on iPhones as it is on Touches?

  • IPod Touch - Video out

    Hi,
    Recently bought a cable to run video from my iPod Touch to tv etc.
    When i play a movie (purchased on iTunes) there is a consistent hesitation or jerk in the video. It mainly occurs when there is full screen movement / change so to speak. If the image only has a small amount of change all is ok, but when the whole screen needs updating it will jerk or hesitate every 5 or so seconds.
    Any ideas?
    I have the latest updates installed and its a genuine cable and i have tried it on several TV's.
    Cheers
    Darrin

    Simple fact ist that the decoding of H.264 brings the pod (till 3G) to the limit. 4G should play much better because of its faster processor.

  • Can I sync a MacBook Pro to my iMac.......like syncing my iPhone or iPod Touch...using a common USB cable?

    Hullo all.
    Am curious to know whether I can, on a regular basis, sync my new MacBook Pro to my main machine, the 27 inch iMac?
    Obviously I do this with my iPhone, iPad2 and my iPod Touch.
    I guess I would use a USB to USB cable...which I have, to allow the two Mac's to talk to each other.
    Any suggestions? I do have Chronosync...should I try this application?

    ps, I did buy the new iPad2 and love it...but, for all its brilliance , it is not a MBP......obviously!
    So, I bought a new one to the one I sold a few months back, and it is fabulous, got a 500 gig machine this time!

    Comment was an after thought! But it might help explain my situation!

    Hi all, a bit surprised at total lack of feedback!
    Maybe with the Cloud coming, we don't need to worry about manually syncing devices!!
    So, can I conclude that you can't really 'sync' a MacBook to an iMac?
    Appreciate an answer
    Thanks

  • How do I import an iPod touch video back to my iPod once I've downloaded it to my Macbook??

    I took a video on my new iPod touch. Transferred it to my Macbook. Now realize I want to be able to view it on my iPod. Once something is downloaded and deleted from my iPod, can I reverse that?

    It'll need to be imported into iTunes first and then configured to sync to your iPod from under the Movies/Videos tab.

  • I have just bought a 1st generation Ipod touch, can I use my Ipod shuffle accessories for this or do I need to buy ipod touch accessories?

    Can you use the same accessories from ipod shuffle to ipod touch?

    The headphones will work with the iPod Touch.  For charging and syncing yo will have to purchase a cable for the iPod Touch since one end of the cable has to have a 30-pin dock connector.  The Shuffle uses a different connecotr.

  • IPod Touch video out broken with 3.1.3

    Anyone else experienced this? I updated to 3.1.3 this afternoon, and now when I plug my iPod into the dock in my LG Home Theatre the iPod displays a message about it not being compatible with that accessory. I get the same result when trying to output a video using the Apple branded component iPod cables.
    47 hours remaining on the movie rental -_-;; would like to watch it on the bigger screen.

  • HT1454 Is it possible to play games and using apps using Component or Composite  cables with ipod touch 4g?

    Is it possible to play games and using apps on TV using Component or Composite cables with ipod touch 4g?
    Or using universal dock?
    Or this is only for video?

    The iPod only displays TV out for apps that support TV out. The App description will say if it supports TV out.

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Go to Settings>Safari and delete cookies, cach and history.
