TV out not not turning on

I can't get the video to go out of the ipod. I select the out setting and it doesn't change from off to on. How do I fix it?

Apple has sent the problem up to engineering. There is a problem with changing the tv out. Waymen keeps talking about it being a hardware matter - The only hardware involved is the ipod itself. Even with no hardware connected you can't change the setting. In my case even when connecting to my television the only "hardware" involved is a video cable. The same cable used with my 5th gen video ipod. There is obviously a apple fix needed for this issue.
Wait a minute. What cable are you using? I think the only combination that will work (right now) is the Apple Universal dock with the s-video out port (and maybe -- can't be certain about this one -- the Monster iTV link for iPod). The old Apple iPod AV cable that connected through the headphone port will NOT work with the new nano. The latter is a known and documented (by Apple) incompatibility.
Your note about "Even with no hardware connected you can't change the setting" is absolutely correct. That's the behavior with my new nano (which I've already discussed on this forum), it seems that you have to connect the nano to a compatible AV dock before you can change the "TV Out" option to "On" (or "Ask") from the default "Off." In fact, even if you turn this option to "On" as soon as I disconnect the nano from the dock the setting goes back to "Off." That may not be the expected behavior (by Apple) but that's the way my nano is working. Unfortunately, even the "Ask" option toggles back to "Off" when I disconnect the dock. The latter is a bit of an annoyance because you'd think that with that setting it would just ask whenever it was in the dock whether or not you wanted to output to the TV.

    Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
    I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.

    Is there any where that I can voice why I returned my beloved new Ipad? I was told I could move my Keynote presentations to it and then use it for my
    business presentations. Unfortunately that turned out to not be true. I need the IPad to work with a remote.
    The Ipad is on a short cable to my projector. I am usually on a podium 30 feet away. No infra red receiver on the IPad and
    the Iphone remote needs wi fi which is not always available in all the locations I do my teaching and lecturing in.
    If you can build a remote into the Ipad in the future I would really like to use an Ipad to replace my heavier lap top for business travel. Thank You Kathy McNeil.

    Get a longer cable?

  • I have  a iphone 5 and i can not figure out how to turn on the LED notification light. is this even possable? if not how do i know if i missed a call when i was not there to answer it visualy

    I have  a iphone 5 and i can not figure out how to turn on the LED notification light. is this even possable? if not how do i know if i missed a call when i was not there to answer it visualy

    If you were not there, how would you see the led?
    Anyway missed calls will appear on your Lock screen under the Missed tab.
    Or a small red numbered badge will appear on the Phone App icon when you have missed calls. You can then access the Recents Tab in the Phone App to see whcih calls were missed.
    Missed Calls are shown in red there

    Thank you I tried the reset again did not fix- I think I am down to calling Apple and paying for a tech - phone company says it is a software problem.  I just updated to 8.1.3  - I thought the update might fix it.

  • All Agents Greyed Out or Not Monitored

    Hello,
    I am running SCOM 2012 R2.  All of my clients were re-imaged (Over 500) during the summer.  Each image that was created had the SCOM 2012 R2 Agent installed.  The images were installed on all of my clients.  Now, most of the clients are
    listed as greyed out or not monitored.  The server has Event Log entries of the following:
    Operations Manager has received a connection from a system running an older version of Operations Manager
    None of my clients are running an older version of the agent.  What's also new is that I cannot tell if my clients are turned on or not.  The clients that are green are always green.  Even when they are powered off, they are never grey
    in the console.  Even after I ping them or refresh.  They always stay green.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    I deleted the Health Service State folder and I modified the DB so they are remotely manageable.  Now I am trying a repair.  But what I dont understand is why the healthy clients do not show when they are turned off?  They normally go from
    green to grey.  I've tried a ping and a refresh and I cannot get them to go grey.

  • DVI video out suddenly not working.

    That's basically it. I have a 23-inch Cinema HD Display at home and at the the office. Suddenly the video out is not working with either of them. The displays control panel lists the external display, so the system is detecting the connected display.
    There is nothing wrong with the displays. I connected an old PowerBook and they light up fine. With my MBP, the power light lights, but nothing is displayed on the Screen.

    there's a somewhat similar thread "external monitor stopped working" with no answers
    my 17" Studio display works as 2nd mon on other computers
    my dvi out does work with a vga monitor and adapter, of course :))
    i'm using the dvi to adc adapter -- could this be involved somehow?
    my laptop display goes blue when i plug in the external monitor as it should, but the 2nd monitor never wakes up, turns on, etc.

  • My ipod nano was working fine until i uploaded some new tunes today.  It sync properly and once disconnected it just switched off and would not even turn on.  I have put it on charge for a few hours but nothing happens, infact the charger is getting hot.

    The backlight burned out from getting it wet. You will have to replace the screen at a 3rd party shop, buy a screen and replace it yourself, or make a Genius Bar appointment at your nearest Apple Store and do an out-of-warranty replacement for $199 USD.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected

    My Macbook Pro (Early 2011) DVI HDMI out does not work with TV when the power cable is connected. If get the blue screen and then can use the macbook but nothing is displayed on the TV. If i go into display I can see that there are two screens but nothing displayed on the TV. If i take the power cable out at this point the TV shows the second desktop as expected. If i then reconnect the cable, the screen flickers, as though it is being affected by the power cable, and the screen goes blank on the TV. Only if i remove the DVI cable do i get the blue screen again. If i remove the power cable and reconnect it will do it every single time, so i cannot see it being a TV issue or a minor glitch.
    I have had this working previously but at the minute it seems to not be playing ball....any thoughts
    Thanks

  • Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

    He,
    I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
    Can anybody help me?
    Greets,
    Daan

    Hi
    Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
    Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

    My iPod 5th gen will not completely turn on it shows the apple symbol then shuts off I have restarted it and tried to plug it into my computer but cannot find it to restart it
    Its been like this for awhile and I can not fix it

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! :( it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    Help, I can't sync any music to my iPhone 5s or iPad 2 ! it says it's finished sync but the music is greyed out and not on my devices.. I've tried unchecking the music and doing it manually. Nothing works. I took it to Apple store Robina no help..

    So I have found a common denominator to this phenomenon. After having the same problem, I started to recopy my playlist of 500+ songs in groups of 10-20, 30+, 75+, and then over a 100+. Any music I have purchased from iTunes won't copy, but everything else did. Unsure if I made a playlist called "Purchased" at some point or this is an iTunes default, I also noticed it had some of the songs contained in my other playlist and was showing on my iPhone. Regardless of what I did such as dragging music from that playlist to the other and clearing songs from that playlist, I removed it altogether from the iPhone itself vs. doing through iTunes. After that, music copied fine to my playlist.
    So, my theory is that iTunes is getting tripped up on purchased tracks already showing on the phone and all songs are showing grayed out/dotted circle because iTunes can't resolve the conflict with purchased tracks.
    Hope this makes sense and is helpful.
