Playing iPod 5G to AV projector

I am a teacher who wishes to connect my students' 5th Gen iPods to the classroom AV projector in order to display their photos manually.
I have bought the Apple universal dock with RCA cables (white/ yellow/ red - to line out on Dock).
I have read the Apple info about connecting to a TV at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300251#connecting
I have been successful connecting to the TV thanks to help in this Discussions Forum.
BUT - I still cannot connect the iPod to an AV projector.
What alse must I do, please

How do you find out if Projector is compatible with Ipod or not ? I have a 80GB Video Ipod and EPSON S3+ projector.
Would it be sufficient if I use the Ipod AV cable and connect it to projector ? What else do I need to do if I want to play movies on my Ipod and project them through my projector ?

  • Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

    Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector.  This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it?  Please help.
    Thank you

    Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
    One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

    4s with latest software update will not power off, text will only vibrate, iPod only works with earphones. When I sync it with iTunes it works until power save mode starts, then back to not powering down, making text sounds, or playing iPod out loud.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
    Restart / Reset

    If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
    Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • Make Slideshow Play on external Monitor or Projector

    Every time I start a slide show it starts full screen but on the screen where bridge is open. I would love it if you could designate on what screen you want the slideshow to play if you have a projectore of multi screen setup...

    No real ideas, and I am not on Snow Leopard.
    SMC and PRAM reset?
    What happens in Display Preferences if you try to rearrange the relative display positions or location of the menu bar (I'll assume 10.6 is similar to 10.5 in this)?

  • TV picture very unclear when I play ipod videos

    Recently I have had a problem playing ipod videos on my tv. It used to work great, but now it only shows a picture with a bad horizontial hold. It constantly scrolls down and movies/vidoes can't be watched. Does it need to be reset?

    You should check is the video output is PAL or NTFS. Try both to see which one works best for your TV. Also ... if it`s a big TV, unclear pictures are common, the iPod not having such a high resolution.
    Hope this helped,
    Darie.

    We kind of agree...we would have like to have seen a high res color screen instead of the old iPod style display.
    The one nice feature of this bigger screen is the multi-line text. Most head units only display one line.
    This was a $200 upgrade...a new head unit with iPod connections would have been a bit more. For folks with older headunit that they like, this is one way to go
    If we were starting out fresh...we may not have installed it. we may still pull it after we finish with the carputer project....we would have the full iTunes library on the Mac mini running iTunes on a 7" color screen. so the H+P would be redundant.

  • How to play Ipod Nano in car

    I have a VW that has a jack designed to play ipods. I purchased a cord that connects the ipod and the jack together, but nothing plays.

    I am not sure what type of cable you purchased. My wife's car has a similar jack and she tried one of the 3.5mm mini to 3.5mm mini jacks with little success. Volume and sound quality was very poor.
    She later picked up a 3.5mm to iPod connector and sound quality was much better.

  • Shuffle Playing iPod Nano Playlist

    I was wondering if it was possible to play iPod Nano playlists in a "shuffle" mode. I can successfully play my entire music archive that is on the iPod in "shuffle" mode, but I would like to be able to just play a certain playlist in "shuffle" mode. Thanks for any information on this question.

    Yes it can be done.
    Menu, Settings, Shuffle - Off, Songs, Albums
    Then go back and select your playlist and start it going.

  • Playing ipod with another PC

    Hi! I´m from Mexico, actually I´m not good in Enlglish but I will try to do my best:
    A friend of mine asked me for my ipod to play some songs in a party he held, i refused to do that because my ipod is sync with my PC.
    Is it possible just to play ipods in another PC without affecting anything? Also I have the same problem with my PC at office, I just want to play music but I´m afraid that something fails.
    I hope someone can help me, thanks in advance!

    In my opinion, the easiest way is to unplug the speakers from the computer & plug them directly into the iPod.
    Cheers!

  • TS3700 After synched with PC, verified song played perfectly at PC. Once played IPOD NANO by itself, song stopped after about one minute. Happens to every song. Why?

    After synched with PC with all songs transferred via iTunes, I verified all songs played perfectly at the PC. Once played IPOD NANO (6th generation) by itself, the song stopped after about one minute. This happens to every song. Why? I checked the IPOD NANO setting, but do not see anything need to be changed.

  • How to play ipod on different computer than the library computer

    I want ot use new / different computer to play ipod contents. I can see the contents but it is all greyed out.

    you will need to have your ipod set to "manually manage songs and playlists" in order to play songs off the ipod through the other computer's itunes.

  • IPod Nano Output to Projector: Video Quality

    Hey guys,
    I'm looking to buy a few iPod Nano's to use when we play video montages to our clients via LCD projector. Before I buy a bunch of these, I'd like to know what the output video quality will be. These are simple slideshow's created on iMovie and currently, we burn a dvd and simply connect the video out from the dvd player to the projector.
    I'd like to simplify this by putting the video on a Nano, then connecting it to our LCD projector. Will I get similar results as with the DVD?
    Thanks!

    The audio/optical out port will accept the tonslink miniplug for digital out only. You can also use the port for 1/8 " headphones without the miniplug. The video out is on the otherside, its the DVI port. The macbookpro comes with a DVI to VGA adapter. You should hook up your projector to the DVI or the VGA. If you projector does not have DVI or VGA you can adapt from VGA to RCA.

  • HELP-What cords/connectors to connect iPod up to VIDEO PROJECTOR?

    I need to show a film I'm making next week on their video projector. They said they can handle anything - on CD or iPod - as long as I supply the CONNECTOR and cable/s for doing so. Help! I have the cable that came with my PowerBook G4 for video stuff and a variety of other cables but I am really not clear on what precisely I should have or be ready to supply in the way of cables and connectors. Your advice VERY VERY much appreciated ASAP!

    I've not yet been able to get an answer and likely won't - until the very last moment - from the committee I'm presenting to. There has to be a finite range of possiblities with this stuff, though. Firewire and or USB for example and getting from firewire or USB to a video or phono in, et al. Really, there has to be some limit on this such that I can bring a range of connectors in order to be prepared. After all, there definitely is a limit on the ways of getting OUT of an iPod. Perhaps someone else has some suggestions on common connection pathways for doing this?
