No picture on TV with composite cable

i-Pad 2. Can get picture on TV with HDMI cable using Apple's cable but get sound only if using Composite cable. What am I doing wrong? Have even gone back to the apple shop and got a replacement cable as I thought the one I had was faulty. But same result. The yellow video socket on the TV is OK because it works with my digital camera.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

I am pretty sure that will not work. Does your TV have HDMI? You will need this:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=4 5&fs=m.iphoneCompatibility%3Diphone_5
The adapter your purchased has this note :
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.

IPad video to car DVD - has no sound with composite cable

Hi,
I'm trying to watch iPad movies on my in car DVD system. Through a genuine apple composite cable I can get video with out sound. When I connect the USB from the composite I get sound but no video.
Any ideas??
I have iPad 2.
Stereo in car is JVC 846.
Thanks

Hi,
I do have the same Problem with my F10
I can capture TV with sound, but not either S-Video or FBAS with sound. In ShowBiz I can see, that recording TV I can choose Audio from the built in capture device - no other soudn device. Recording either S-Video or FBAS I can not choose ANY audio recording device. But if I want to record audio, I CAN choose an audio device other than the built in TV-capturing device - namely the audio device.
It seems that trying to capture video via the built in cpturing device, you HAVE TO capture audio from the SAME device - and that using the S-Video or FBAS Input there is no Audio there - and so capturing video from anything else than TV is not possible to combine with audio capturing from an other source.
The only chance is to capture video and audio seperate (one after the other) and mix them together in WinDVD Creator or Showbiz -
Thanx a lot,
Hann

Video to TV with composite cable not working

I bought a iPod cable that connects my iPod to a TV. When I plug it in the video usually just plays on the iPod but not the TV. Audio does play through the TV. When I play around with it by playing with the video preferences it periodically start to work. When it is working the iPod displays the title page only and the TV displays the video. When I do get it to work it only last about a minute and the the video turns off. When I turn it back on, the video goes back to displaying on the iPod only. I have the latest version IPT and OS 2.2
Any ideas??

It is a 3rd party supplier. My wife has the 1st generation IPT and has the same cable, but is from Apple. I will try it out later today. I will also see if her IPT works with my cable.
I think it would be pretty strange that the manufacturer of this 3rd party cable would not try out the cable first.

Connecting a Camera with Composite Cables

I am being given a Hitachi DV camera that records directly to mini DVDs. I tried to place the mini DVD in a Mac Pro, though it will not mount. I would like to try playing from the mini DVD on the camera into FCP using Log and Transfer.
The camera comes with a cable that connects to it and has on the other end, an S cable, and 2 audio and 1 video connections.
1. Without having to buy something like the Canopus ADC devices, what can I do?
Thanks.

Your camera should come with a USB cable.
If so connect the camera to the computer and see if MPEGSTREAMCLIP detects the disc and convert
its content into a FCP friendly format (QT).
If you don't have MpegStreamclip
download this small and easy to use free application from this link:

I have an ipod classic 160gb and i also have the dock to connect it to my TV using composite cables. I would rather use component then the composite cables. Does Apple sell a component connection to hook up my ipod to hook up to my TV?

Why doesn't my ipad2 or iPhone 4 work with my av composite cable?

I bought an apple av composite cable and I plugged it in to my tv and iPad 2 and iPhone 4 and it did not show anything on the tv. I plugged my iPad on one of my TVs and i only heard sound. on other tv I didn't see or hear anything. Don't know what the problem is.

I'm having the same issues. I am using the iPhone 3 version 4.3.3 and I am trying to play movies on my TV that I purchased from iTunes using the Apple composite cable attached to my iPhone. There is sound but no video. You can see the movie playing on the iPhone but the movie does not play on the tv. However, if I go into music videos under my iPod icon on the iPhone, those do play on the TV with sound and picture.
When you download a movie from iTunes and save it to your iPhone, does it not already save it in videos? I have them under my iPod icon on my iPhone and then I click videos to view. Music videos, TV shows and movies are all in the videos tab under the iPod icon.

My Apple AV composite cable no longer works with my 3G iPhone. Anyone else?

I purchased an Apple composite AV cable from my local Apple store shortly after I bought my 3G iPhone.
It worked then.
I haven't used it much, but this morning I tried it again.
This time I got a message something like this:
"This accessory was not made to work with the iPhone. Would you like to turn on Airplane mode to reduce interference?"
It works with my older 3rd generation iPod.
This isn't an after-market cable. I bought it (yes, $50) at an Apple store because I knew Apple had shut out non-Apple connectors with the new generation devices.
I've seen various messages about failures of the AV cables after the 2.1 update. Most refer to aftermarket cables, or Apple cables purchased indirectly (may be counterfeit).
Has anyone else run into this?
I suppose I'll have to go back to the Apple Store with the cable and receipt and see what they can do about it.

It was the cable connector seating.
It looked fully attached, but on removal and FIRM attachment it worked.
If the AV iPod connector is not fully seated you get this error. The old iPod connector used a locking connection with a positive click, the AV cable uses a lockless connector that differs from the newer lockless iPhone connector. I suspect the AV cable connector was a transitional design that may have more connectivity issues.

HT1454 iphone 4, composite cable no longer works with ios6 update

I have the iphone 4, and I used an apple composite cable to watch youtube, videos, etc on my TV through an AV input. But when I upgraded from IOS 4 to IOS 6, it no longer works. Says something along the lines of "accessory not supported" or close to that. The iphone used to go into a display mode, where nothing shows on the phone's screen, and everything shows on the TV. But now it doesn't even do anything but give me an error message. Any ideas?
In sum, it worked before, but updated, and now no longer works.

Official Apple Composite Cable DOESN'T WORK with iPhone 3GS firmware 3.1.2

I've tried everything and I cannot make the official apple composite cable (MB129LL/B) work with my iPhone 3GS 3.1.2.
I get no video output AND no sound as if the cable is simply not made for my 3GS
What do need to do to get composite video output on my 3GS 3.1.2????

"The 3GS will not work with a Composite cable. It will only work with a Component cable. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454"
I have had no luck with getting the component cables to work with my 3GS. They are the Apple branded cables, not some knockoff. I would be angry if I needed to buy the universal dock to get them to work. Per some of the forums I've read, it is not needed. Also, from all the reading I've done on the TV out feature in this forum and others, it appears to be a hit or miss whether it works or not.

IPod Touch with Composite AV Cable: Issues

I purchased the new $50 composite AV cable when it was released a few months back. I've been using it frequently with no real issues (whenever I play a video, my iPod recognizes that it is connected to a TV and prompts me to choose whether or not to display the video on the TV). However, as of this week it no longer prompts me, and I cannot find a way to manually select "TV Out" without first being automatically prompted by my iPod. I recently installed 1.1.3 with the January upgrade. The only other thing I can think of that I've done differently recently is that I used the composite AV cable to charge an older iPod model, which I had never tried before, but I doubt that would have any affect on the cable itself. Anyone else having this problem? Why is there not a manual "TV Out" option for the iPod Touch to avoid this issue altogether?

I havent had any issues with my Apple AV composite cable. Ive been using it for the last month or so and has also worked since the 1.1.3 firmware and software upgrade. I suggest you call apple tech support you have a 1 year warrenty on those cables.

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.
Tell Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
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.

Connecting my iPhone 4S with 3rd party composite cable; error "accessory not supported by iphone". Sound comes through and it charges but NO Video???

Connecting my iPhone 4S with 3rd party composite cable; error "accessory not supported by iphone". Sound comes through and it charges but NO Video??? I have verified the cable, I can play video with sound from iPod Nano 4th gen.

composite don't support mirror so it will only display on the tv when the app being used support tvout option
the build in video app does so it should display on the tv at least my composite cable does with my iphone4
the audio always works it's pretty much works like a headset

Flashing video with composite av cable

Having some difficulty with my composite av cable. It's been malfunctioning with all my apple devices. I am getting sound perfect but the video is rapidly flashing and moving at an up and down pace, like it's "tracking" if you remember the old days of VHS. I have inspected the plugs and it all looks to be hooked up right. Has any one else had this problem with their cable and do you know how to fix?

Hi Rusbug,
I am having the same issue with my iPod Classic 160gb not playing video on the TV via Composite cable as you posted in march!
did you get a solution for the issue??
desperate to know what to do next.
thanks

Sony CCD-FX525 won't import color in IMovie9 with MacBook Pro. Dipswitch 2 is on. It's NTSC. Using yellow composite cable to ADVC110 converter. Opened GarageBand and played some, then quit. Still no color. 9pin firewire on Mac to 6pin on Canopus. ??

Using Canopus ADVC110 analog to digital converter.
VTR on.
Dipswitch 2 is on. Camcorder is NTSC.
Using RCA cables to connect to front of Canopus.
9pin firewire on MacBook Pro to 6pin firewire on back of Canopus.
Held the input select button for 25 seconds since copyright not an issue (home movies).
Opened Garageband and played some. Quit. Reopened IMovie.
Still can't get color. Can see video but color not solid.
Any ideas?

Thanks for getting back to me. I've tried two different yellow RCA cables and went out and bought a yellow composite cable on one end and the S-video on the other to connect to the ADVC110. Still didn't work. The picture comes through but the color is not quite there. I tried connecting camcorder directly to the TV via the yellow RCA cables and same thing so now I'm wondering if it's the camcorder or the analog to digital tv issue. I'm almost ready to give up.
