Late 2009 Ipod Touch to TV

A big hi there and hello!
Ive just got my brand new Itouch and cables, and am trying to hook it up to the TV, to watch movies, yet all I get is sound??
The cables are Apple Component MB128ZA/B.
My TV is a Sony Bravia KDL-37S5500.
The cables are matched to the colours on the back of the tv.
The TV is switched to the component channel.
The Ipod TV out is set to PAL (Im in the UK).
Theres no "TV OUT" ON button - so Im guessing its always ON?
The Ipod is set to widescreen - ON. (have tried OFF but makes no difference)
Ive tried powering the Ipod on and off while connected to the TV.
Interestingly, Ive tried playing my daughters Ipod Nano 4th Gen, and it says TV Out is on, and to plug in TV out accessory.. so I do, and it doesn't register.
Failing the cable being broken, does anyone have any ideas of what I can try, before sendng it back???
Cheers in advance!

Hello David,
It sounds like you are connecting your MacBook Pro with your television, but nothing is recognized when you connect your MacBook to your television.
I found an article with steps to troubleshoot issues with displays.  This article is for internal and external displays, so you can skip any steps referring to the internal display.  I recommend reviewing the section titled "No video or no signal, image distortion, 'snow,' or flickering" in the following article:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays

  • How do I upgrade ios 4.2.1 to 5 or later for ipod touch

    I'm trying to upgrade my ipod touch from ios 4.2 to 5 or later in the itune. It says ios software upgrade server could not be contacted. I'm certain the internet connection was good. Perhaps ios 4.2 is too old. Any other ways to upgrade it? Thanks.

    You have to update via iTunes
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network

  • 2009 Ipod touch 8GB

    What is the difference between a 2nd generation ipod 2008 and a 2009 2nd generation ipod?

    The 2009 model shipped with iOS 3.X which allowed general use of bluetooth and some other improvements. The hardware is the same and the iOD on the earlier one can be updated to be the same. The 2G iPod can only go as far as iOS 4.2.1.

  • Why can't I carry on using my 2009 iPod Touch and 4 iPod Nano's. I don't wan't to buy any new versions. More and more apps are incompatible with my iPod Touch. I can't upgrade the sofware beyond v. 5. I certainly won't purchase any other Apple devices.

    My advice to any customers: Don't buy new devices. Apple is not looking after customers properly. Not all of us can afford to purchase new devices.

    Complain to the developers. The make the apps incomaptible with previour versions.

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • HT1848 I rented a movie on my ipod touch and want to watch it on my computer because my ipod is having trouble downloading over wifi. How do you find your rental purchases to download on a computer?

    I rented a movie on my ipod touch and want to watch it on my computer because my ipod is having trouble downloading over wifi. How do you find your rental purchases to download on a computer?

    You cannot.
    iTunes Store: Movie rental frequently asked questions (FAQ)
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer."

  • My iPad connects to my router but does not open any web page or even download my mail. My router works just fine. My iPod touch is having no problems loading pages. If at all my iPad does open a page, it does so very slowly. It happens with all routers.

    It never had any problems before I upgraded to iOS6. Please help!

    Hi adtsalmon,
    You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
    If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
    Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

    Hope this helps!

  • (Item) was not copied to the iPod (Name)'s iPod Touch because it cannot be played on this iPod

    Last week I purchased Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 5 off of the iTunes store. I have purchased all previous seasons over the years and they have been able to play on my iPod. But when I purchased this new season, whenever I try to add the episodes to my device, an error comes up saying: "(Episode) was not copied to the iPod "(Name)'s iPod Touch" because it cannot be played on this iPod. This has never happened to me before, and I am very confused, and a bit frustrated. Does anyone know what this means and if there is a fix to it?

    Greetings Smallen8,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that while trying to sync a video from iTunes to your iPod touch, you receive an alert that the video cannot be played on your iPod. This can happen when you attempt to sync a HD video to your device. Please refer to the attached article for more information.
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device - Apple Support
    When you try to sync a purchased HD video that isn't optimized for your device, you may see a message like this one:
    HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are offered in 720p or 1080p1 and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
    Cheers,

  • No face time on iPod touch 5

    when i buy my iPod touch 5 i didn't find face time in the home screen or setting . how can i use it ?

    Missing FaceTime app
    If you are unable to use FaceTime or locate the FaceTime app on your iPad 2 or later or iPod touch (4th generation) or later, try the following:
    If FaceTime is not available in Settings: Note that FaceTime may not be available on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
    In Settings > General > Restrictions, verify FaceTime and Camera are On. Disabling Camera also disables FaceTime.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Restore your device:
    Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
    Note: This will erase all user data from your device.
    When complete, configure your device by selecting your region and language and then restore your data using the iCloud or iTunes backup.
    Note: When setting up and restoring a backup from iTunes, ensure that your computer's language, country, and date and time are set correctly.
    If you still cannot locate the FaceTime app, try turning it on at Settings > FaceTime.

  • Lost address book for iPod Touch. How can I get back data or app or both?

    I forget what is was called but the built-in Contacts/Address Book app jumped off my 2nd generation (bought 31 Dec 2009) iPod Touch one day.
    I connected to iTunes hoping to get it back with all my data from the back-up, but because iTunes was set to automatic sync it synced when I connected and over-rode the last back-up with a new one, so without any contact app or data.
    When I investigated back-up on iTunes I was only offered the back-up which had just been made, ie no contact app or data.
    Is there any way that I can reload at least the empty app without doing a re-set?
    I don't want to do a re-set because although I will get back the empty app I will lose all my 20+ other 3rd party apps and all the data that some of them contain,
    As well as that - since I cannot update the OS - the version of each that I can run (for OS 4) will almost certainly have vanished from iTunes because most apps have been developed now for OS 5 and finding the old version in iTunes is very cumbersome. As far as I can see I have to browse them all in the date order they were released, with no search facility.
    I have to have an address book. I have been unable to find a 3rd party one that will run under OS 4, so it looks as if I will have to use NoteMaster, with contacts in A/Z order by surname, with one or more lines for each depending on whether I have phone number, mobile number, email address, postal address etc.  It's possible, but a poor substitute for a proper address book.
    I would be very grateful for any help with this, and hope that the Apple address book app or a 3rd party address book app for 4.2.1 is available.
    Alan

  • Game Physics on iPod Touch 2G - iPad

    Hi everyone, I'm still testing feasibility for a 2D platformer Videogame in flash for the iOs.
    I'm checking now how to implement a Physics engine. I checked Box2D for now, and it has a close to 0 FPS on the ipod touch 2g. I will try some code optimization, but do any of you think an engine like that one can perform decently on a late iphone, ipod touch or ipad?
    Thanks a lot!
    Any suggestion is welcome!

    On a mobile device everything is about optimization, and I think this is especially true for an old gen device like iPhone2G. If you've checked out the game Space-On-Air on App Store, you would find out box2d-based flash game can run smoothly even on older gen of iOS.
    Though I haven't done any experiment with box2D just yet. I think the reason that might slows down your app could be anything:
    Were you using vector graphics?
    If yes, did you cached them as bitmaps?
    If they are being rotated or scaled, did you set cacheBitmapAsMatrix?
    Have you tested on the lastest iPhone/Touch, cuz the CPU/GPU for 2G are not great, but they are good, that means you could have a much better performance or at least 10FPS on 2G once you take care of optimization.
    Another thing that I'm concerned is box2D is said to be CPU-intensive running in Flash. So I strongly suggest you refine your code, avoid high iterations, set frame rate below 30FPS, choose GPU rendering...
    Good luck!

  • IPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation) bricked

    I recently bought an iPod touch 32 GB (2nd generation). It was working just fine until Safari completely crashed and I had to perform a reset by holding down the Sleep/Wake and Home button (as described on the Apple Support site). After that the iPod touch just keeps hanging on Apple logo without loading the Home screen. Because of it iTunes can't connect with the iPod.
    This is the second time this has happened to me, the first time it completely bricked my iPod and I had to exchange it for a new one. I'm curious to what is causing my iPod touch to stay stuck after a reset with no apparent way to bring it back to a functional order.
    Any thoughts on the matter? Note that I'm using the original firmware (v2.1.1) and not some jailbreaked version.

    This happened to me as well but I found out by accident that when doing a hard reset (holding sleep and home buttons together) that it took my 2G 32GB iPod touch literally 10-15 minutes to restart itself after seeming to freeze at the Apple logo. In fact, I had tried to put it into DFU mode and got the same "software not installed" error in iTunes then did the hard reset and decided to wait. Then ~ 15 minutes later the iPod Touch started up like nothing had happened and I was able to do a restore in iTunes although it probably wasn't necessary but I decided to do one anyway. My iPod Touch has worked great since then.
    Needless to say, I made a suggestion to Apple through their feedback link that they need to have either a spinning circle or progress bar at that Apple logo screen so people don't think that they're bricked.
    I would try plugging your iPod Touch into a wall outlet adapter (USB may work but I didn't want it connected to the computer at all) or make sure you have a full battery then do a hard reset and wait a while, at least 30 minutes to an hour to see if it restarts itself then do a restore (optional) to be on the safe side. Hopefully that will work for you like it did for me.
