Video Out on iPhone 4

I have Apples audio and video out cable adapter. One end plugs into the dock connector, the other end has left and right audio out, and composite video out.
When I use this cable adapter with my iPod, all videos play perfectly on any television set. However, when I use the same cable on my iPhone 4 I get audio but no video.
I suspect that Apple has crippled the video out for some reason. Please tell me I'm wrong.

I am simply trying to watch NASA TV using my iPhone. I used to get NASA TV from DirecTV, but you must now have HD DirecTV to get NASA TV. ( we still get 100 channels of infomercials however.)

I have a bad habit of asking questions that no one knows the answer to.
Do I get a prize?

HT4108 how can i setup video out on iphone 4

how to setup video out on iphone 4 to be able to connect it to the tv?

Connect the Apple adapter the phone and connect to the TV.

Video out from iPhone 3GS to TV.

Can I use the standard (3 phono plugs on the end) video out lead I already have to view keynote presentations from my iPhone 3GS on my TV/Projector?

Same problem here.
I can't get any video out of my faithful iPhone 3GS running iOS 6.xx.
I have been browsing Apple discussions for solutions and most of them seem to point out to a faulty Video Composite cable. This is not my case.
I can rule that out 100%.
Old iPhone 3G running ios 3.1.2 works just fine as well as does iPhone 4, with the same cable.
I have tried with a friend's TV and cable and iPhone 3GS and we have identical issues.
(different cables and phones, same issue).
Please note all testing has been done with genuine Apple Video composite cables.
So this points out clearly to a iphone iOS issue combined with hardware.
It appears that starting from iOS > 5.0 video output has been disabled on earlier iPhone models prior to 4.
It would be nice if Apple could issue a Knowledge Base document on the issue as that would save many people further testing and waste of time.
This document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108? isn't really complete enough as it stops at iphone 4.
Has anybody the ultimate answer on this issue?
Are there any known work-arounds?
Thanks and regards

Video Out on iPhone 4 and iOS 6

To watch downloaded video, I connect my iPhone 4 to my TV using an AV dock-to-component cable. Since installing iOS 6, my iPhone says it "does not support that accessory." I knew of the video out issues with iPhone 5 but didn't read anywhere that it would break functioning video on an iPhone 4. You could call me a very unhapppy camper.
Does anyone have a solution or a workaround?

I am having some crazy issues over the last couple days and I live in SF Bay area too. On AT&T not Verizon. Updated to ios6 almost a month ago and didnt start having issue until Thursday
First I'm stuck in a call, can't end or go to screen that shows the keypad or put on speaker; nothing.
2.Then on Fri no badge on SMS app and all new and old texts gone.
3. Can't even start new sms from icon in top right nor from send message button in each contact
Does any of this sound familiar?

Video out for iPhone.

Interesting that the iPod Touch has video out capabilities. Why doesn't the iPhone have that also?

I believe that is probably what you were talking about, and more than likely Jobs is keeping this "under wraps" until he can make a big announcement to everyone that iPhone now has video out, since I'm sure everyone with an iPhone has wanted this feature. But, as you can see, it IS under the iPhone docks and cables, so hopefully it will be compatible. . . finally

What's the deal with video out on iPhone 5?

Is there a way to get video out on to an external display using the old style cables? Is this gone forever?

Changing Video out on iPhone 4 car radio

I have a pioneer avic-d3 and an iPhone 4. The radio will play video from the iPhone but I can't find the setting to allow the iPod to send its video to the radio. Any ideas?

There is no setting. On my Pioneer deck, when I connect my iPhone, I can select videos when my deck is set to iPod and the list of videos on my phone is dislayed on the screen of the deck. I select one, it plays on the decks screen like yours.
Again, there are no settings on the phones ipod to control this. I connect my phone using the standard iPod connector included with the deck.

HT1454 will the new iphone 5 be able to play video out?

Hi
Can any one tell me if the iphone 5 will be able to play video out as the older ones do? I have my 4s plugged into my Alpine system in my car to watch and play all music and movies?

AFAIK, only wireless Video out for iPhone 5.

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring?

What is the difference between Video-out and mirroring? I can't get iPhone 4 video to work on my TV screen
I have just bought an MD098ZM/A (Apple 30-pin Digital AV Adapter). I am struggling to get it to show a picture on my TV. I know I'm doing something right because the audio is coming out of my TV speakers but no picture on the TV screen.
I have used the same HDMI channel (on the TV side) with the same cable and my thunderbolt port (MacBook Air) without any trouble - and on the same app (BBC iPlayer download then full-screen mode).
Now I note that the packaging for the MD098ZM/A says video-out on iPhone 4 but mirroring only on iPhone 4S. I only have an iPhone 4 (not the 4S). Now if the lack of iPhone 4 support for mirroring means that I can't play video material out to my TV, then in what sense is there any video-out capability at all?
There is only safety and warranty paperwork in the Apple adapter packaging - no help information. And I haven't found further guidance online either.
I do note somewhere online that it suggests that basic non-mirroring video-out (for this adapter) only works with some external TV sets. Any way of finding out which? I'm using a Sanyo CE32LD90-B LCD TV if it helps.
So far not doing very well.

Now found these but have had to give up on this adapter!

Ios podcast utility that supports video out through composite cable.

Hi everyone,
I'm watching some video podcasts (you're right - MacBreak Weekly!) in my car while staying in traffic jams. And I use original Apple composite video cable to send video to the in-dash screen of my Nissan.
There have been some podcasts downloaders in App Store, like Instacast, Downcast, Podcaster. But none of them are able to send video out of iPhone.
If anybody seen one that is able to do that, I'd appreciate a link dropped over here.
Thanks a lot,
Egor.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". Pics and videos have been deleted too.

I recently had to swap out my iphone 4s and I am having problems restoring photos and videos from icloud. When I restored my phone from icloud, half of my pics and videos have been deleted, the pics that were restored on my phone are very blurry, and the videos won't play. I get a message on my phone that says " the URL you are requesting is not found on this server". I have erased and reset my phone twice, but every time I do it, more pics and videos are deleted. I have backed up to icloud and iphoto, however, some of the pics are no longer on iphoto either. Is there someway to get the videos to play on my phone again? Make the photos not as blurry as they are now and to restore the pics and videos that have been lost? I really would love to have them back, this phone is supposed to be the best and right now it doesn't seem to be. Please help if you can.

I too have noticed that once i restored from iCloud. Pictures blurry and videos wont play!
Need help too!!

Delete partially copied movie file from iPhone. Shows grayed out in Videos on the iPhone but it doesn't show up in iTunes.

Hello.
I have synced my iPhone 4S with iTunes and I got an error while copying one movie. Now this movie shows up grayed out in videos on the iPhone but NOT in iTunes. Hence, I cannot delete this partially copied movie from my iPhone. And since it is grayed out, the right-to-left swipe does not work. I have resynced with "no movies" option so that every movie would be deleted and indeed every movie was deleted except for the problematic one. I rebooted the iPhone several times in case it was a glitch. No success. I even tried tools like iExplorer and DiskAid but I cannot find this **** file. Is there any way to delete this partially copied file from the iPhone without having to restore it?
Regards,

Hi adtsalmon,
You can only watch the movie on the device you rented it on. Here's a snippet from the Apple Support site (italics mine):
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Here's the link to the Movie Rentals FAQs site FYI:

Hope this helps!
Cheers,

How do you get the video out to TV to work on the iPhone 3GS

I cannot get the video out to TV to work on my iPhone 3GS with iOS 5.1.1.
I am using the $40.00 apple composite AV cables and nothing seems to work. With the cables connected to tv input nothing shows up in general settings for video out. Or anywhere else for that matter. I have tried many different TV's, sometimes I get audio but never never ever video . Does anyone else have this problem or better yet the answer?

Thanks for responding to my question about not being able to get the video out to work on my iphone 3GS. In answer to your question i couldnt get any video to work at all. But, i do know what was wrong now. The whole problem was the brand new $40.00 set of apple composite AV cables i just bought was no good. This afternoon i took a trip to the nearest apple retail outlet (30 miles away) with phone and cables in hand. And after doing a little head scratching of their own they decided to try another set of cables, and low and behold the darn thing worked like a charm.I was very impressed by the service at the apple store even though i didnt buy either product from them. I wonder if there is a bad batch of cables floating around out there because it looks like other people out there are having the same problem, which is why i didnt really suspect the cables. Thanks again for responding. Micdude001

No video out from old iPhone/UniverslDock/CompositeCable

Ok - what's up with this - I've got iPhone (the original one) with the latest update (2.0) connected to my TV via Apple Universal Dock and the Apple Composite Cable. I get audio, no video. What's up with this?
I do remember a LOOooong time ago having this problem with the video iPod and there was something about having to either turn TV on after or before connecting cable - don't remember but I tried both turning TV on after cables are connected and connecting cables after TV is turned on and still no workie.
??????

I also believe this is a bug, but I found a workaround. I after starting the video you press the wake-up button, the iPhone screen goes off, but the video keeps playing. Now if you pause using the remote, you can also resume using the remote without having to unlock the iPhone.
The weirdest thing about this is that after doing it once, you can unlock you iPhone and be able to pause and resume as expected. As soon as you change the video (that is, you turn the video out off) the iPhone forgets what he just learned and doesn't resume from the remote again.
So as a rule I always turn the iPhone screen off after starting a video. So I'm able to use my remote nicely. I hope this works for you too... and that it gets corrected in the next SW version!
