Using iPad Composite Video Cable with Mini

I have an Apple composite video cable that worked beautifully with my 1st generation iPad.  The 30 pin to lightning adapter will allow me to make the physical connections of that cable to my new Mini, but thus far I've been unable to get it to work.  Is this a lost cause, or can it be made to work?

Thanks IIIass

- my iPod Touch is a 3rd gen so I referred to that guide, but have upgraded software on it to iOS5.1... so that may explain why the TV Out option has disappeared.
- I normally use the AV leads for my Wii into my TV,  and so have taken those out and put the Apple leads in then gone to the "game" input screen option I normally use for the Wii. I then connect the iPod Touch to the composite lead, and then press play on the video. The screen is black with no sound ! 
- I have a portable TV I can test if it has the AV lead input sockets.

  • Using a Composite AV Cable with an iPod Touch (3rd Gen)

    I recently purchased a Composite AV Cable from the Apple Store in order to watch video I have rented from iTunes on my iPod Touch to my Sony Television. However, when I connect the cables up as per the cable instructions and play the video from the iPod, nothing happens !
    Are there any settings I need to change on my iPod. The manual states there is a "TV Out" option on the Settings menu ....however that does not appear on my iPod.
    Can anyone please help me ????
    Many thanks in advance,
    Steve

  • Please confirm use of mini DVI-Video (s-video) cable with Macbook

    Hi,
    I have tried to use the Mini DVI-> Video cable with my new Macbook in order to be able to connect to my TV.
    Unfortunately it doesnt work, I do get the resolution change when I plug in the cable but nothing on the TV. I went back to the local Apple center and they tested the cable on a Powerbook G4, it worked flawlessly. Then they tried a monitor on my Macbook's DVI port, it also worked.
    But when trying the mini DVI to Video cable on the Macbook, no luck!
    Can anybody please confirm they have used this cable and connected successfully to a TV?? Using either the s-video option or composite?
    Thanks in advance!!!
    Best Regards,

    I can confirm that the s-video connection to a standard CRT TV using the mini-DVI video adapter does NOT work with my MacBook.
    The display is detected, and when mirroring is enabled, the resolution on the MacBook display is adjusted, but the TV doesn't display the MacBook signal. Instead, I get a black screen or some random flickers of color. Following the instructions in the help files, I've adjusted the resolution down to its lowest level with no success.
    My guess is that this is related to the fact that the integrated graphics relies on system RAM, and I am running my machine with the stock 512 Mb RAM it shipped with (2 GB are on their way).
    On the off chance it would help, I even tried closing the display, in hopes that the memory savings from turning off the MacBook display would enable the TV signal, but no luck.
    Thomas, how much RAM do you have in your MacBook?
    Those of you who have been successful using external displays, are any of you using the stock 512 Mb RAM?

  • After updating ipad 2 to IOS 5.1 composite video cable says "this accessory is not supported by iPad"

    Now that I have updated my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s to 5.1, when I connect my composite video cable to watch netflix or other video on my TV I get the message that the accessory is not supported.  The audio goes through fine, but the video only plays on the device.  Anyone else run into this?  Ideas on how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I have the same problem. Even worst, I use my iPod touch at the gym cause our bikes and threadmills have iPod connection (and screen of course) so I used watch TV shows from my iPad. Last week, thought the treadmill connector on the machine was broken... from what I see, it's the TV out on the iPad that is not working anymore.
    Once home, I used my composite cable, well just like you got a message : "not supported" tried on iPad and Ipod Touch.
    THANKS APPLE WITH YOUR STUPID UPDATES!!!!
    But now seems your Video cables won't be selling much if not working hey?
    And reboot has no effect, don't waste your time.

    I have the same problem.

    https://discussions.apple.com/message/23281391#23281391
    I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
    If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?
    Please let us know what feedback you got from asking Apple support.

  • Old Composite Video cable (Tangerine iBook) not compatible with Video iPod

    I discovered a little surprise.
    Despite being exactly identical on both ends of the cable, an old Apple Composite Video cable, originally purchased for a Tangerine iBook, is not compatible with Video iPod.
    Anybody confirms such situation, or is it just my Video iPod with a faulty video output?

    The cable may look the same but it's wired differently. Please see this for more info :

  • Composite video cable doesn't work...

    I have a video composite cable (one of those cables which have three heads, red, white and and yellow, on one end, and a single head, like a headphone cable, with three "rings" on the other) for my video camera, and I tried it with my iPod and my TV. It doesn't work. It works when playing music (with a little "hissing", so I guess after all it doesn't "quite work"), but it doesn't for video. When I switch off the TV out of my iPod and play video, the TV's got the sound and the iPod's got the image. I tried that cable with some other stuff too, like my digital camera and it works. I thought all those composite video cables are the same; I thought all video composite cables work for iPod but apparently it isn't the truth, because if it is, my cable would've worked. So what's wrong? Is it my cable? Or worse, my iPod?

    As noted above, you need to switch the outputs.
    Apple did this so you can use regular headphones with the iPod.
    If you plug standard headphones into a video camera, it will not work correctly because the video camera jack is wired differently than the headphones.

    Hello dewantaraaa
    If you want, you can backup your iPhone and then restore the iPad. Then you can put that back up on the iPad and sync what is on your computer.

  • Displaying video using "Apple Composite AV Cable" to an in car DVD player

    Has anyone had any success or knows of any in car dvds/screens that will enable you to display video from an iPhone/Touch. Im assuming we would need to use something similar to Apples "Apple Composite AV Cable". To be honest I really only want to show videos from my iPhone/touch... if the screens didn't have dvds I really would care..
    Thx

    Your best bet would be to find a car head unit with either a composite or component input. From there you would just use the appropriate cable from the Apple Store.

  • Can I use my iPad as video monitor with my Canon 5D II?

    HI,
    All is in the title. I'd like to use my iPad as video monitor for my Canon 5D II.
    (I don't want to use Wireless system)
    Maybe a solution with HDMI adaptator and an app? (I guess if we have HDMI video out, we can also have video in... just a software stuff...)
    I know a lot of peoples really want to use their iPad like this (and by the way, don't have to buy a new external monitor for Their DSLR)
    Thanks by advance,
    NBS

    Right now, there is no way to do that real time.   Sooner or later somebody will write the app for that, but now, there is no way.  You can certainly xfer pics and videos from the camera to watch, but that is as far as it goes.

  • Conecting Mini DVI to HDMI Video Cable with my mac book pro

    Hi. I just bought Mini DVI to HDMI Video Cable to connect my mac book pro to my HD TV. I connected the cables and put my TV on HDMI input. On the TV it appears the Snow Leopard Background but I can't see my desktop or the icons. What should I do to view my mac book pro on the Tv? Thanks!

    Hi y3p3v3,
    On the TV it appears the Snow Leopard Background but I can't see my desktop or the icons. What should I do to view my mac book pro on the Tv? Thanks!
    You've got it connected, and you're viewing it already! Connect it up again, and try dragging a window either to the left, or right, off your built-in screen. You'll find that it appears on your TV!
    What you're doing is running the computer in "extended desktop" mode. That means that your TV screen is available to put things on, but won't show your menu bar, dock, or icons. Those remain on the "primary screen" which remains your MBP's built-in display.
    When the TV is plugged in, go to System Preferences --> Displays
    The main System Preferences window will remain on your MBP's screen, but a second one should appear on the TV as well. If you go to the one on your MBP's screen, and click the "Arrangement" tab, you'll see two screens shown in the diagram. One will have a menubar. That's your MBPs screen. You can drag the menubar to the other screen to change the primary screen to the TV.
    OR, you can just click "Mirror Displays" and your TV will show the exact same picture as your MBP display. This option is the simplest and will accomplish what you want, I think.
    If you have any other questions, or if you need any clarification, feel free to ask!

  • 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.

  • How can i use Ipad's ITunes movies with Samsung 52 inch LED HDTV LN52B750U1F

    Hi there and happy holidays!  I have a LN52B750U1F 52 inch TV and for the first time ever want to play iTunes movies from my iPad on the TV.  I tried reading the manual but it is all gibberish to me - I am a tech idiot.  I plugged the USB into both of the USB ports on the TV from the iPad and the TV recognized the iPad and the pictures, but had No Contect for movies / video.  What am I doing wrong?  Thanks!

    You can not connect to the USB port on the TV. You need to purchase an AV cable or use a WiFi network and Apple TV to stream the content using AirPlay.
    Here's the HDMI adapter http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD098ZM/A/apple-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a
