Video out not working properly

i recently bought the Gigaware Composite A/V Cable for my 3rd Gen iPod touch at Radio Shack. It works beautifully with youtube and both iTunes videos as well as ones i uploaded myself. i get full video and sound with these. But when i try to play music there is no sound, when i try to view pictures they do not come up and when i try to use the netflix app there is no sound. I know my version of iPod is not yet compatible with video out for the netflix app, but others are saying they get sound, i get nothing. is there a setting that i need to correct or some other way to fix this? I also have a 1st generation iPod touch, and i have the same issue with this one as well. Please help.

The video only works with specific application. I would not expect music to one of those since there is no video in music. I know on the iPad photos do not display on video out (slide shows do). The same may apply for the iPod. I can't answer about the NetFlix no sound.
An Apple Support page says the following so there may be difference in different manufacture's cables.
Note: If you choose to use a third-party cable, make sure it has the "Works with iPhone" or "Made for iPod" label. Learn more about iPod and iPhone accessories.

"Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".

Turned my Dell running windows 7 off 2 days ago. Turned on today. Launched ITunes and got message "Itunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video may not work properly".
All my albums are there but won't play.
Deleted Itunes and reinstalled. Same as before.
Any ideas ??

Hey MrCurwen,
I was able to find an article that included the same error message you're experiencing:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1371
According to that article, if you see the error message "iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration," QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Please follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Cheers,
David

Video Out not working on Ipod Classic 80gb

I can't get video out to work on anything. I have a relatively new Onkyo home theater with an iPod dock that has video out cables, and I can't get a picture to show up on the TV. Also, my gym has StarTrac cardio equipment which has video connectivity through a built-in iPod dock. Video is supposed to show up on the TV monitor attached to the cardio machines, but all I get is "no signal".
Since I can't get either of them to work, is something wrong with my iPod?
Thanks!

When you want to show the video on your TV, have you selected TV out in the video settings options?
If that's not the problem, check this page, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 to ensure you have the correct cable for your iPod, although you need to ensure you have identified your iPod model correctly. Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 if you're not sure because there is a crucial difference between the Classic and the 5th generation video models. (On the *iPod and iPhone: TV out support* page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 - look at the third table down, headed *Apple Component AV Cable with iPod Universal Dock or Apple Universal Dock* .) Notice that the Apple Universal Dock and Component cable combination works for an iPod Classic, but not for the 5th gen iPod. My point being; if the STarTrac device you mention has a built-in dock, perhaps it's designed for the iPod Classic, but if you have the 5th gen, it won't work.
... and no, I don't know why one dock is called the Apple Universal Dock, while the other is called iPod Universal Dock! Such a similar naming convention only leads to confusion. I know, I had to examine each box in my local store to find the iPod dock among all the Apple docks they had since they thought both docks were identical.

IPod touch 32 g 4th gen video function not working properly

So I am having 2 major problems with my iPod. 1, is that it won't let me add videos of any format tO my iPod other than .mov files and frankly since I have over 100 different videos on m iPod it would be kinda annoying to have to convert each one one at a time. This hadn't started happening till the last iPod software update whicy happened around last weekend. My 2nd problem is that my videos are not orginizing properly. For example under my TV shows section I have a show that should only have 26 episodes in it. Instead it has around 80 episodes in it which consist of other tv shows I have added but my iPod does not recognize that they do not belong there. I keep my videos very organized by episode, show, season, etc and I don't know what to do. I've tried restoring my iPod and that didn't work.
My computer specs go as follows: thinkpad laptop, windows 7, latest iTunes and iPod touch software

The 'wrong sorted TV episodes' bug was the first thing I noticed on 4.2.1's video player. I'd say the whole media part is buggy as never before, at least for me. I absolutely agree with you and in addition to this (as I mentioned here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12686533#12686533) the swipe to delete function on both podcasts and videos seems to be broken, not deleting properly.
I'm also using Windows 7 (64-bit) for syncing, if anything could be related to Windows iTunes or Windows 7.

Digital video out not working

For some reason on my 2011 Mac Book Pro the digital video out does not work? It works just fine using the minii adapter for analog video out, but not for digital?
Any advice much appreciated!
Thx
Mark

It is working exactly as it is supposed to. You didn't read the description properly before buying.
Video mirroring is available on the iPhone 4S, not the iPhone 4.
Video out needs to be supported by the app you are using.

MacBook video out not working

Hi there
I bought the mini-dvi to s-video/composite output to connect my MacBook up to a TV while away from home (to watch TV and movies) but it doesn't work. First I suspected the old TV, but works OK with the Wii connected. Then I thought it was the cable, but I tried a new cable and the sound works fine, so that's not it. Then I suspected the adapter, but when I got home I connected it to my wife's MacBook and it worked fine.
So, looks like I have dodgy graphics card hardware?
The MacBook detects that the adapter is connected, so some of the pins are working OK. I just can't get a signal from my MacBook to the TV and the auto detect does not work.
Anyone got any ideas? The computer is no longer under warranty and I don't have time to take it to the dealer (it takes them three weeks to turn around a fault!) so I'm guessing that I'll have to open up the device myself and check for some bad connections?
Any advice is appreciated!
Regards... Jonny.

Video out under 10.5.2 works fine for me and for a colleague of mine with a more recent MacBook Pro. I'd wager it's a problem with your Leopard install, not a universal one.
Also, FYI, Apple doesn't read these forums; they're just for user-to-user help. If you want to leave MacBook Pro feedback for Apple, do so here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macbookpro.html
But again, I do not believe yours is a universal issue. We'll be happy to help troubleshoot though. What do you mean the image is "unstable"? Could you take a digital photograph of the external monitor's screen and upload it somewhere?

Iphone for VGA Video Out not working

We have the Iphone/iPad VGA to Monitor connector. We tested it with 3 different iPhone 4 phones... It worked on 2 of them, but the 3rd woudn't work. What possible reason would it not work? The 3 phones had software of 4.3 and higher...

Dr. L,
The previous iPod's did not support component video out for newer televisions that support it. The box for the older Video out cables do not say they support the iPhone.
The current video out cables are available in either component or composite video out. They also say they support the iPhone on the box.
In addition when shopping the Apple Store online for iPod or iPhone accessories there is a compatibility guide which shows icons of the iPod models or iPhone that are supported.
Overall my personal experience is that this, and other Apple specific ones, are much smaller compatibility, and downtime driver for IT than many of them I have run across supporting a variety of computer and networking platforms over the last 23 years.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

Leopard Video Effects Not Working Properly

When ever I have a video conference and try to use a video backdrop the picture becomes very flaky, with parts of my me being covered up by the back drop and random parts of the back drop not working. I think I'm doing everything right but it still isn't working right.
Thanks,
David

I have that same problem too. I called up Applecare and was on the phone with them for at least and hour and they couldn't fix it either. They said that everyone is having this problem. I was at the Apple Store today for my ProCare Appointment and the creative told me that it does the same thing on all the computers in the store. Its such advanced technology that it need a nice clean background. There is a way to get it to work if you have a plain white background and I have yet to try it out. I am positive that apple will fix this through a software update in the future.
The support agent on the phone said this might help too:

Iphone Videos & Video Out not working

Hi All,
I have several TV programmes on my iphone, and yet when i plug the iphone into my TV using the apple composite AV cable, and tell the iphone to display on screen nothing happens, no sound or picture at all.
I have just moved to Chicago from London so the video setting in the Iphone is PAL, could that be what is affecting it, should I change this setting ? The TV in the apartment is quite old fashioned and a brand name I don't recognise (Insignia CRT) so not sure whether it is the TV, but it has the right inputs.
Any ideas much appreciated
Thanks

Video Out not working on 2g

Hey I am using an iPod touch 2g with 2.2.1 firmware. I just bought a video cable (i-tec) it says "made for iPod" on it, but when I try to use it watch movies on my tv it does not work.

Take it back and buy an official Apple cable which is guaranteed to be compatible with the iPod touch.
Some third-party cables aren't made to work with the iPod touch, and only work with older iPods.

Video out not working

So, the audio is working fine, and the video is fine on my brother's iPod video, but the video on my iPod touch isn't working at all. What can I do to fix this?

Hey Bender59,
You'll need the Apple Composite AV Cable or the Apple Component AV Cable to do video out on your iPod touch.

MSI-8888 TV OUT not working properly...

Hi, I have a MSI-8888 (Geforce 4 MX 440 VTD 8X) and I've been having trouble with the TV out of the card. While doing some tests, I just found out that Nview detects the TV as another possible output only when it is connected to the S-Video Out of the 4-to-1 splitter provided with the card. When it is plugged in the Composite Out, Nview doesn't even detects that there is a TV attached to it. I know my cables are working since I use the same composite cable with a S-Video to composite adapter when it is working with the S-Video out.
Now that Nview detects my TV I was hoping that maybe I could select the clone options and use the dual monitor option of my card. Nope, Nview detects the monitor and the tv but all the other options are greyed out. So I cannot use anything else than Standard (Dual View).
I've tried several driver versions and each test has been unsuccessful. I can select to use the monitor OR the TV in nview but never both at once. I thought, hey maybe this card isn't dual head, but when I look in the user's manual, they say that this card supports simultaneous dual display. I don't know what else I could try to make it work. I hope someone out there knows something I haven't tried yet.

Now that Nview detects my TV I was hoping that maybe I could select the clone options and use the dual monitor option of my card. Nope, Nview detects the monitor and the tv but all the other options are greyed out. So I cannot use anything else than Standard (Dual View).
Ok. I think i have same problem. I have solved it by connecting my analog monitor to to DVI output with DVI to analog conector that came with the vga card. And it worked. Only now i have another problem. Vga card can't recognize my tv as PAL/G but as M/NTSC. Everytime i reboot my computer it goes back to M/NTSC. I am using detonator drivers 40.72 and with original MSI drivers it worked OK.

Ipod Touch Video Out not working with IOS5?

I normally could play video just fine from my Ipod to my TV and Exercise machine via the ipod plug in on the bottom...however since IOS5...video will play for secs. on the TV then TV goes blank....sound works and the IPOD Touch displays the normal "Vidoe out" screen mode that normally shows when the video is being displayed on the TV. any ideas? any way to revert back to the previous OS?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
What cable are yu using and what is the source of the videos?
Have yu tried another app that supports TV out?

S-video out not working

I have a "cheap" dvd player that has a composite AV input. it works fine with digital cameras, etc. However, the s-video port on my powerbook does not seem to detect it. I have tried shutting down the computer, connecting it and then turning it back on, etc. but it just doesn't seem to connect with the player.
i'm wondering if there's something wrong with the s-video on my computer or have i just missed something obvious.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

yes, i guess it doesn't say exactly for this model. i think from doing a bit of googling that it is under the keyboard on the very top right corner. make sure the computer is completely off, then ground yourself by touching some metal and letting go, and then press the button only once counting 1 mississippi.

Ipad Mini :Lightning /HDMI Video Out Not working

I just tried a new Apple Ipad/IPhone AV HDMI/ Lightning adapter to try and play videos to my TV/Monitors thru their HDMI Port.
The Ipad Mini recognized it was plugged in and notified me it was playing thru my TV.
But I got no audio/video thru the TV and no indication it was getting a signal thru the adapter.
What am I doing wrong?
The HDMI input in my Flatscreen HD TV shows my Mac Mini screen perfectly and any videos I have thru it.
Bad adapter, bad HDMI cable, operator error?
What is the system NOT playing content?
The $49.00 adapter should work flawlessly at this price point, imho.

Took a trip to the Genius Bar and about 2 minutes to correct: The Dynex HDMI Cable from Best Buy didn't work. The Apple one works fine.
Now I find my Movie Download from Comcast On Demand won't play thru the adapter. The Movie plays fine on the Mini, but I get a screen warning it's being blocked by Apples' Relationship with Starz. Funny, Comcast says it works fine. Another example of Apple forcing me to use the I-Tunes store on their products if I want to see it on their Hardware? If I pay for the rights thru Comcast, and they don't limit my Hardware, is it right for a Computer Maker too? After the E-Books price fixing probe...are these kinds of issues next?
