TV out enabled

I have now managed to convince my iPod to allow me to download a podcast. This was not an easy negotiation.
But the problem is that my iPod has decided that I may not look at these podcasts, or any other videos on the iPod itself. They play just fine out of iTunes, but the iPod feels that I should output them to a TV. It says "TV Out enabled. Please Connect Video Accessory". I feel that my IPod is just not being reasonable. I should be allowed to view videos on the iPod itself without it giving me a really bad attitude. Any suggestions?

Last night, the little bugger decided to go into a weird hibernation mode where it did nothing and no enticement could get it to respond to any input.
I figured I could reboot the crap out of it with the hold-toggle-menu-centre trick. This worked, and got me back inot viewing the videos just fine.
Two questions remain: 1. Why did the the precious little thing decide to change its video settings in the first place? 2. Why is it that Apple cannot provide a help file that is actually helpful?

  • Nano 5th g "TV Out enabled"

    I have a Nano 5G that is several years old that I  use with my Honda Fit integrated cable, an Apple Brand composite RCA cable to watch videos on my TV and the video output on the treadmills at my gym (I cannot verify that those are apple brand or not )
    I recently switched PCs from XP to Windows 7.  I deauthorized on xp machine first .  After synching with the Windows 7 machine, with the latest version of Itunes, my accessories will no longer work.
    The Nano will charge in the Honda, but not play through integrated cable (can still use headphone in aux port) . 
    When I try and play a video on the TV I get "TV OUT ENABLED, PLEASE CONNECT VIDEO ACCESSORY"
    video settings as follows:
    TV out enabled = yes
    TV Signal = PAL
    TV screen = standard
    Again, the variable is the windows 7 itunes - the accessories worked prior to that, and the RCA is the composite cable with the apple brand connector on one side, with three cables branching out with 3 RCA plugs.
    Firmware version = 1.0.2
    Itunes 10.6.3.25 on windows 7

    I got the same message.
    Turn on your nano.
    Go to Videos
    In Videos, scroll down to Settings
    At the top of the list you will see TV Out
    To the right of TV out it will say either on or off
    If it is on, click on the wheel at 9 o'clock (pointing left) to turn it off
    That should do it, no problem
    Once I turn it off my movies play perfectly

  • IPOD 80GB displays "TV out enabled" please connect video accessory

    I have had my ipod for about two years...have used the original ipod composite cord for watching videos...no problems until the other day....keep getting same message...."TV out enabled" please connect video accessory I have purchased two different cords adn the same message keeps appearing, HELP!

    I've got a similar problem 120gb Classic - composite cable (30 pin) has worked in the past but not anymore. It isn't a cable problem as it works on a 30 gb with no problem.
    Exactly the same problem for me too: 30GB ipod classic (model MA444FB) shows video on TV fine, 80GB (model MB147) displays the 'please connect video accessory' message and doesn't show video. Also ipod touch (model MB 531BT) doesn't display video on TV. All 3 ipods play audio without problems. All have uptodate software. The AV cable is the one that plugs into the earphone jack on the ipod, part number is M9765G/B.
    I notice noone's responded to the previous posts on this thread yet - be nice to get some expert advice before I go out and spend £35 on a new composite cable.

  • What does "TV Out Enabled Please Connect Video Accessory" mean?

    I just loaded some video podcasts on my new (apple refurbished) 80gig classic ipod and when I go to play the video podcast on my ipod I get the error message "TV out Enabled please connect video accessory". I don't want to watch on a TV, just on my ipod. thanks so much for help!

    I found the answer by searching "tv out enabled" - thanks to the person that answered this. Have to go into videos - settings - and then turn tv out to off.

  • "TV Out Enabled: Please Connect Video Accessory"

    I tried connecting my iPod Classic 80Gb v1.1.1 to a Philips DCP750/37 but after setting all the required configuration a message that says, "TV Out Enabled: Please Connect Video Accessory" appeared on my iPod. I think it is an incompatibility problem. Any work around on this issue?

    Unfortunately this is one of the downfalls of the Classic. It only works with select apple "branded" video out accessories. This is the 5th gen forum too btw.

  • Filling out enabled forms in Reader 10 vs Reader 11

    Reader 10 requires you to "sign" in order to save the form but Reader 11 does not.
    The message (in purple banner) in 10 is:
    Click 'sign' to fill out and sign the form. When you are done, you can save a copy by clicking 'Done Signing'
    The message in Reader 11 is
    Please fill out the following form. You can save data typed into this form.
    I have both versions so I saved in v10 after "signing" which not a requirement of the form I built.
    Reopening in 10 does not allow me to enter any more data . Message in purple banner is gone.
    This is a problem as the form is 14 pages long and most folks do not have all their answers together at one sitting.
    Reader 11 allows me to partially complete, save, close, reopen and continue filling out the form.
    Is this really the way these versions work?

  • How Do I Backup A Site That Has Check In/Out Enabled?

    I have developed a site in Dreamweaver and created templates
    for the client to access via Contribute. The problem that has arose
    is that I am unable to copy my local version of the root directory
    due to the fact that all (or most) of the files are no locked. Is
    there a quick and easy way to backup my local files without having
    to unlock the individual HTML, CSS, Javascript, etc. files one by
    one?
    Also, does anyone know of a Extension that would automate the
    backup of a remote site? I have seen this feature when using a
    certain web host and was curious if I could do this from within
    Dreamweaver. Honestly, I would like that feature built into the
    Dreamweaver software because everyone should want a backup of their
    files and folders, right?
    Just a thought,

    If this is your first website you might want to consider switching to an application that is currently being supported by the developers (iWeb has been discontinued for 2 years now) and has the modern features that most come to expect in such an application.
    If you search this forum for "iweb alternative" you'll find many topics discussing alterantive apps.  The one that is most iWeb like is Everweb and has been reviewed favorable in this forum.
    Everweb has a demo version that you can use to try to duplicate what you have in iWeb before you purchase it.

  • Playing recorded loops (they stay greyed out)

    When recording on a loop , it creates multiple recordings, and places it on a new track. I love this functionality! However only the last loop recorded lets me play it / hear it. How do I enable the other tracks so that i can hear them (ungrey them out / enable them). Much thanks in advance for any help!

  • Where can I find out which type of ipod I have?

    I'm confused by the different generations, color display etc. I think it's almost 2 years old, it's the size of a lrg credit card, and it does play color videos. I am not able to see my videos on the TV screen (even with TV out enabled). Then I read that some models cannot even do this, so I need to see if mine is one of them, before I return the cable or try to troubleshoot. Thanks

  • Time capsule takes forever to hand out IP address

    I have a time capsule and I have an airport express. The time capsule is downstairs and the the airport extreme is upstairs.
    I have them both named the same thing. I don't know if that's right.
    Here's the setup.
    On the main page of the Airport Utility
    FROOTY - time capsule Firmware = 7.6.4
    Internet page - DHCP and 2 DNS servers listed
    Wireless page
    mode = create a wireless network
    Network name = Frooty
    Security = WPA2 Personal
    Wireless Options
    5ghz network name = FROOTY 5GHz
    Radio mode = 802.11a/n - 802.11b/b/n (Automatic)
    2.4GHz Channel = automatic
    5GHz Channel = automatic
    Network = Off (Bridge Mode)
    no DHCP Reservations
    no Port settings
    Enable Access Control = unchecked
    FROOTYU - airport express (U = upstairs) Firmware = 7.6.4
    Base Station name = FROOTYU
    Internet page - DHCP and 2 DNS servers listed
    Wireless Options
    Network Mode = extend a wireless network
    Wireless name = FROOTY
    Security = WPA2 Personal
    Wireless options = FROOTY 5GHz
    Network tab everything greyed out
    Enable access control unchecked.
    My setup is as follows
    The airport express is recently configured, but I think this was happening before I hooked it up upstairs.
    I have a Nvidia Shield and the wireless *****. You have to be like 10' from the WIFI device so I put the airport express
    upstairs so when I'm up there I don't have issues with the Shield Tablet.
    My Modem is a Charter cable modem, downstairs, wireless off. Plugged into a switch. Plugged into the switch as well
    is all the CAT5 jacks I'm using around the house. The Airport Express and the Time capsule are both plugged into CAT5 jacks. I don't know if the airport express needs to  be plugged into a CAT5 jack as well? That part I don't get.
    Anyhow, any new device that is connected to the network, it takes about 1- 1.5 minutes to get an ip address. This is becoming increasingly annoying, to the point where I'm considering getting rid of the apple wifi devices.
    Any help is appreciated.

    This is what I did, posted below, but devices like my PS3 and my wifes Nook still take forever getting an IP it seems.
    Temporarily, move the AirPort Extreme to the same room or general area of the Time Capsule, power it up, and wait a full minute.
    Then, hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 9-10 seconds, then release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
    Close AirPort Utility if it is open.
    Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your Mac's screen. Wait a few seconds for the listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear.
    Click on AirPort Extreme just below that and AirPort Utility will open automatically open and analyze your network settings. In the example above, this is shown as an AirPort Express. In another minute, you will see that it will configure the AirPort Extreme to "Extend" the network.
    Enter a device name that you want to use and click Next
    Wait another minute for AirPort Utility to configure the AirPort Extreme. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
    Move the AirPort Extreme to a location that is approximtely half the distance from the Time Capsule to the area that needs more wireless coverage and power it up.
    You are all set.

  • Can't get Ipod classic to work with video out to TV

    I have 80gb IPOD classic,3rd gen. I bought the Dynex docking station w/video & audio out to TV kit. I have it hooked up exactly as they instuct. I also have my settings on IPOD to TV out enabled, NTSC, and captions on. But when I try and play a video, all I get is the "TV out enabled, connect video cable" message. It won't play. Is it possible my IPOD is defective? It is new. Any suggestions?

    Is it possible my IPOD is defective?
    Probably not, but it's more than likely that the docking station either isn't compatible with the Classic or the cables supplied with it aren't.
    Does it specifically say the Dynex is Classic compatible?

  • Ipod Classic 120gb TV out problem

    Hi all,
    I've been searching the web for quite some time now and the problem I have has gotten me fairly fustrated. I have searched the apple site, forums and support as well as other ipod-related sites, to no avail.
    This is my problem.
    After a fair amount of researching (more than I ought should be necessary) I found the right cable for my ipod's TV out fucntion.
    After having purchased my cable (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B) several initial problems arose.
    First of all, the ipod states that the cable is not connected. I hook up the cable though the iPod connecting port at the bottom, plug in the red, white and yellow tulips in the TV and the USB either in the charger or computer. In either case the cable will not be recognised.
    From there on I have started my search for a solution. Several ways have been offered on the internet, none of them worked. One, however, lead to some progress.
    When I reset my device (through holding select+menu) and enabled my TV out signal in the video playback settings menu, the signal works, but for a mere 30 seconds max. After that, the video out signal stops, my ipod goes back to the video selection menu and when I try to reinitiate the video it goes back to saying something in the likes of "TV out enables, please connect a video assesory", where problem I first encountered.
    This means it is NOT the cable, as it cleary works after a reset. Something in my iPods soft- or hardware is blocking the signal after 30 seconds, and by now I really, REALLY want to know why.
    So please, if there is anybody who can tell me why this is happening, it would be GREATLY appreciated, as this is starting to drive me mildly insane.
    Thanks in advance,
    Kind regards,
    John

    Yes, I bought the dock so I could hook it up to my tv. Then I had to buy the cable, I didn't get the cable from Apple. at the time the cable was $50, I went to ebay & found the same cable for about $20. Just like you, I could not find an answer about why the dumb thing wouldn't work, so I just had do my own experiments. Good luck getting Apple to do anything. They don't seem to want to give anything away or replace merchandise.
    Take care!!
