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.

  • What composite video cables work with iphone 3GS firmware 3.0??

    I want to buy the cheapest possible AV composite cable for my iphone 3GS with firmware 3.0.
    What cables can I buy that'll work with these requirements??
    Thanks!

    You need to purchase the Apple Component AV Cable or the Apple Composite AV Cable. 3rd party cables won't work with the iPhone - there's an encryption chip in the the Apple cables that is required.

  • Composite cable doesn't work with iOS 8 on ipad

    I have the iPad3 and a composite cable Video/audio.  I have been able to use these to watch videos from the ipad on my tv. Both sound and video worked, until I upgraded to IOS 8. Now it does not work.

    What product are you using for that? I'll check to see if it's Apple approved. If it's not, then havimg it stop working is possible.

  • Camera connection kit (USB) doesn't work with iPhone 3Gs / Canon EOS 30D

    When I plug in my iPhone 3Gs or Canon EOS30D to the camera connection kit via USB the iPad behaves strange: One time nothing happens at all. The other time "photo" starts, showing the "camera" button which disappears immediately after a few seconds. Actually I was only able to import photos when I push the connection kit against the iPad o.o ???
    Does anybody has had a similar problem ?

    Do you have a case on the iPad the is interfering with getting a good connection? What cable are you using: Is the battery in the camera almost fully charged and is it on the right setting? I could no find any previous discussions on your particular camera but other users have reported not being able to download from some cameras.

  • Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2

    Apple tv mirroring doesn't work with ipad 2 and last update achieved

    you have to be sure that you have iOS 4.4 on your Apple TV. Apple pulled 4.4 due to problems and hasen't re-released it yet. the only way now is to hook it up to your computer with a micro USB cable and then in iTunes you should see your Apple TV and do a restore and it will then put 4.4 on the Apple TV but it will wipe out all your settings and you will have to do all that over again but mirroring will then work.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Keynote Remote Doesn't work with iPhone, iPad

    Hi,
    I have the latest versions of Keynote on my iPhone 5S, iPad 4 and MacBook Pro 13" with Retina Display.
    All three devices on the same WiFi network. Using WiFi I was able to remotely control/play the presetatnion between iPhone 5S and MacBook.
    However, it doesn't work between iPhone 5S and iPad 4. Any help ?
    I tried Bluetooth as well. They seem to not discover each other and neither able to remote control.
    Any tips ?
    Thanks.

    After having to upgrade to the latest version of iOS Keynote (because I edited one of my presentations online through iCloud), I received the message that Keynote Remote is to be discontinued. The alternative they offer is to download Keynote onto your iPhone as they have integrated the remote feature into the full program.
    The problem that I found is that space is more of a premium on my iPhone than my iPad and I don't use the full program on the iPhone, as the remote app takes only 3MB and the full app? 444MB.
    I hope Apple receive similar complaints about this as nearly half a Gig for what will amount to a remote for Keynote is preposterous. I have already purchased my 16GB 5S, it's not as if I can put more memory in it now.

  • WebScan doesn´t work with iPhone browser

    The C4780 web interface for scanning is very practical because no driver installation on computer is required for scanning. Just point any web browser to its internal web server, start the scanning process and download the scaned image as a regular element on a web page, all using web standards, right?
    Well, wrong for the iPhone browser.
    For some reason, the C4780 (and probably other HP multifunction firmware) has incomaptible/untested Javascript/HTML that doesn´t work with the iPhone browser.
    On preview action I´m getting a question mark box.
    On scan action - where a new browser window would open on a desktop - I get nothing.
    Please fix that. It could be very useful for me since I can simply scan stuff directly to my iPhone without having to open a computer.
    I also posted this message under Scanning Faxing and copying.
    Thank you,

    On the iPhone, go to Settings...Safari...Turn Blocked PopUps off.
    Worked for me with a PhotoSmart C4700.
    It would be even nicer to have a simple iPhone app instead of using Safari.

  • $80 Apple in-ear headphones not working with iPhone 4

    I spent $80 on a pair of in ear headphones and they do not work with iPhone 4. I can listen to music and talk but the volume controls are completely nonfunctional. So I used them on my friends 3GS and they work fine. How can Apple come out with a new phone that wont work with their own products? I used to love Apple until this F@#$ing iPhone 4 came out.

    According to Apple, they should work with the 4... http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA850G/A?fnode=MTY1NDA1MA&mco=MTM3NTM0Mjg
    Are they plugged in to your iPhone all the way?

  • Universal Dock's remote doesn't work with iPhone Photos

    Has anyone tried Universal Dock's remote with iPhone Photos? I can't get it to work.
    The remote does work with iPhone music and video though.

    i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

  • Apple Composite AV cable doesn't work with my iPhone 3G (3.1.3)

    Hello,
    Just purchased composite AV cable from apple store but it doesn't play videos on TV but audios only,
    Is it firmware or my cable prlbme?

    I used the original Apple composite AV cable with my iPhone 3G (OS 3.1.3) for a while and it worked fine for video playback in the iPod app. But after upgrading my iPhone 3G to iOS4 the cable stopped working. Video on my TV remains black and is shown on the iPhone's screen instead of the TV, and sometimes the iPhone tells me that this accessory is not designed to work with this iPhone. What did Apple do? Is there anyone who can confirm this change in behavior? Apple still recommends this cable in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=en_US
