Using Apple AV Cable on stereo using AUX
I have connected my AV Cable to a desktop stereo using the AUX inputs. It is not working. I am wondering if the third plug (yellow, video) needs to be plugged into something in order for it to work? Can I just use the red and white plugs if I only want to hear the audio? Please help!
if you're using third party av cable, then the audio cable is yellow and white, red is video...

I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack. The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble. I have to turn the bass control on the stereo receiver to pratically zero in order for the sound coming through the stereo to be acceptable. Is there a setting on either the iPod or the stereo that I need to change in order to fix this?
The phono input is for a phonograph. The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output. Does th stero have an AUX input? That should be compatible.

I used to be able to play video podcasts on my TV by connecting my iPod touch to the TV via an Apple AV cable. Now that I've upgraded to ios 6 and the podcasts app got installed along with the upgrade, video podcasts will no longer play on my TV when connecting the iPod to the Tv via an Apple AV cable. It should be noted that other video content (movies, TV shows, etc) will play when connecting the iPod to the TV via an Apple AV cable. Is there a setting I need to make that will fix this, or is this yet another bug with the podcasts app? Or is the Podcast app for some reason designed so that you are unable to output a signal via the AV cable when playing back video content (this would be a pretty bad decision on apple's part). Also, I have to say that I'm not happy at all with the Podcasts app, so if there's a way to uninstall it without harming the functionality of ios 6, that would be great.
I found a workaround that puts podcasts back in the video app as well as the music app so you can watch them on TV via an AV cable again.
The instructions can be found at this video:

In short:
1. Make sure both the music and podcast app aren't running on your iPhone.
2. Plug your iPhone into your computer and disable Podcast syncing for your iPhone in iTunes.
3. Remove the podcast app from your iPhone
4. Plug your iPhone into your computer again and turn on podcast syncing, then sync.
5. Turn off and then back on your iPhone.
After I did this, I found podcasts had returned to being listed in my music and video apps.
Hope this helps you too! -

Hi- My Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything
Update
I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides. -
Recently read on a deal site forum page that you can only use Apple lightning cables to charge iPad Air or iPad Mini Retina running iOS 7 or higher. Is that the case or will any 8-pin to USB cable work? Thx in advance for any helpful replies.
Due to a lot of bad press that Apple was getting due to burnt chargers, shocked users (the electrical kind...), etc., due to the lousy third party El Cheapo brand generics, as of iOS 7 the cable must be Apple-certified before the iGadget deigns to use it for charging purposes. Unfortunately (for Apple) the old traditional USB to 30-pin cable is just that, a straight piece of wire, and can't be validated by the iGadget. But lo & behold, the new gear uses the new Lightning cable, which contains an embedded chip that CAN be validated and lousy imitations disabled from use.

I brought apple lightining cable from authorised shop , but my i phone is not getting charged with that how can i know its orginal or not there is no printing on that cable and the wire is little harder than which i was using before it came along with phone.., Please let me know is the cable is orginel or not ..
the phone says it is not charging even though it actually is. Check and see if that's the case. A very underhanded trick by Apple so they can charge 10 times what the cable is worth. They do not win admirers by that proprietary trickery.

Using Non-Apple Power Cable from a UPS
Can some kind person please tell me if I should plug the UPS (Hot-Cold) cable directly into my G5 ?
The Apple Power Cable shipped with the G5 cable has a UK 3-Pin plug with a FUSE in it ...
Any kind advice and expertise will be much appreciated !
Thanks in advanceMany thanks for your kind reply and much appreciated expertise
The mains power supply cable (3-Pin UK 230V wall socket plug) to the UPS unit is also fused too !
A noticeable difference - the Mac seems to run quieter since feed o off a UPS unit ?

IPhone 4 and Apple Component Cables do not work
I have an iPhone 4 and my Apple Component Cables no longer work.
I have had an iPhone 3G since July 2008, and a first gen iPod Touch. They both have and continue to work with the cables.
I have the Component cables hooked up to an Apple universal dock... it's been a great way to watch movies and TV shows on my bedroom TV, as the remote control works through the dock. I've become so accustomed to using it, I no longer even use a DVD player (all my media is digital). That's the main reason I upgraded to a 32Gb ip4. I have tried plugging the cables directly into my phone, rather than going through the dock, to no avail.
I am now on my second replacement iPhone 4, and the Genius at the Apple Store had the same issue with his demo unit. Oddly, the ip4 appears to work fine with the lower quality composite cables, but not at all with the HD compatible component cables. My question is, have any of you experienced the same problem? How is this not a bigger issue? (I can't find any threads about this issue), Am I the only person who uses his iPhone this way?
I have been in contact with Applecare. A nice rep has been trying to help me, but as of yet, has not been able to offer an answer. On the Apple Store, you can clearly see iPhone 4 listed as a compatible device for the cables.

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciatedI know this is of absolutely no use to you at all but...
Same here!
Paid nearly 40 quid (GBP) for the component video cable from apple, same for the universal dock!
Nothing, nada, nought... through my theatre system or direct into the TV.
Shame really, iPhone 4 latest patches, really BIG TV (latest, greatest everything input's) fairly simple theatre system (again, everything inputs) but no joy at all getting a picture (video) out of the component cable.
Bah...
I read somewhere there could be a fault in the iPhone 4 OS, but I'd have thought that they would have fixed this by now!
NOTHING WORKS!!!
This is not a good 40 quid value !!!
Is there a solution? -
IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable
I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is? -
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. -

Audio Problem with Apple AV Cable
I just got the genuine Apple AV Cable for my iPod, which is great but when I connect it to my TV, I have to turn the volume right up on both devices. Does anyone else have this issue, or am I gonna have to get the Universal Dock?
Check your volume level under the "Settings" menu at the top level. It comes very low when you first get it. Crank it up and you should be OK.
Apple, however, really pulled a fast one by switching the normal yellow video cable from a typical camera cable output to red and the yellow to sound for right channel. If you do this, you can probably use the output cable you got with your camera and take the AV cable they sold you back to the store. -
