Viewing movies through docking port/av jack

I've tried multiple different things, but I can't seem to get my iPod Touch to play movies through the docking connector. I'm using an identical setup that I used for my iPod Video.
I know that in my iPod Video I had an option to set it to do video out, but I can find no such option on my iPod Touch.

Hi,
I'm pretty sure Neuro is right, at the moment you can only get video with the Apple cables e.g [Composite|http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/A?fnode=home/shopipod/ipod_accessories/cablesdocks&mco=MTA3ODcx]
The composite output on third party docks won't work (mine doesn't), the dock will only work if an Apple cable is involved.

Cleaning Lint/Dust/Dirt From the Docking Port, Headphone Jack, Mic & Spkr

Does anyone know if you spray canned air (Dust Off) into the docking port, headphone jack, mic & speaker ports, if the air will blow the lint/dust/dirt deep into the phone or possibly under the screen where you can't get it back out?

i just use a toothpick and dig it out. the dock port and headphone jack are fairly closed off so the chance of pushing the lint / gunk in deeper is pretty low. so far no issues

I purchased movies through iTunes and downloaded them to my PC as well as synced my entire library (including 'all films') to my iPad. However, I cannot seem to find / view the movies on my iPad unless 'Home Sharing' is on?

No. Homeshare let's you view your iTunes library or others on your network.
Movies should be in the video app on the home screen. If they are not there, then make sure when your iPad is plugged into iTunes on your computer...the video tab is checked to sync what you want..make sure you hit apply after. You should see the movies transferring to your iPad in the status bar on the top of iTunes.

Well the cable I have is not the apple branded one, but it is the same cable, its a male head phone jack with the rca cables on the other end. There should be no difference. I never owned an ipod photo, do you know how did users hook up there photo pods to a TV, it should be the same way you think?

What cable do I need to be able to watch a movie through my regular LCD TV?

what cable do I need to be able to watch a movie through my regular LCD TV?
I've haven't got any of the other cables for my Retina display, and I've tried connecting my Mac to my TV via HDMI cable, but no sound comes out and apprently I need another cable...?

Your HDMI output port should be carrying the audio signal to your television. If it's not, you can use a Thunderbolt->HDMI adapter that does carry sound, such as this one from Monoprice.

No sound when playing music through dock with third party apps

Hello,
When I try to play music on my Iphone (3G, OS 3) through dock connected external speaker devices (like the B&W Zeppelin) using third party apps, i get no sound at all. Example of external third party apps are : wifi radios, alarm-clock programs, video viewers,...
So i get no sound at all through the dock connector using that kind of apps. Sound is ok only with Ipod, Itune (or other apple apps).
Has anyone encountered similar problems ? Any solution would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have done that from the first day (contacting the makers of 3rd party apps)- They say they use standard components provided by Apple. So I would like to know if anybody has succeded in listening, for example, any internet radio app though a dock station connection (zeppelin, or whatever speaker system that is not using the jack), or is this functionnaly actually blocked by Apple.
Thanks for your answers.

Send DAQ measurement results through serial ports

Hi, All
I use PCI-6034E for measurement. After DAQ gets data, I send them to another computer through serial port (com1). I write a Virtual C++ program, which calls NI-DAQ library functions to implement DAQ data sampling (multiple channel scan) and sends measurement data to another computer through serial port under request. DAQ data sampling and serial communication are implemented in two threads. They are running concurrently. They share a global memory for measurement data. The serial communication thread will do infinite wait and send data only when another computer sends a request through serial port.
I met two problems. First, when I reduce the size of DAQ measurement buffers (piBuffer and halfpiBuffer, I us
edouble buffer model), DAQ measurement is often interrupted by the message "[DAQ_DB_HalfReady] returned NI-DAQ warning 10846. Your application was unable to retrive data from the background acquisition buffer fast enough so the unretrieved data was overwritten with new data. ...". I want to get run time data so I need to reduce the buffers as small as possible. How can I solve it ? The second problem is that the serial port gets error data (nothing) from measurement computer sometimes, especially when DAQ initializes itself and finishes work. It looks like that there is a conflict between DAQ and serial port. Does anyone have similar experience about this? Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance.
Le Cai

Le Cai,
You are correct that the number of scans to read is equal to half of the buffer in double buffer mode. I was mistaken and referring to a standard (non double buffered) operation. However, you can increase the size of your buffer without affecting the period of your acquisition. A buffer of 60 is quite small and, as such, will be more prone to overflow errors. The rate is actually set through the DAQ_Rate() and DAQ_Start() functions. For more information on these functions and how to configure the scan rate, please see the NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual.
NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual for PC Compatibles
http://digital.ni.com/manuals.nsf/websearch/1630A0B68738B269862567C1007A2912?OpenDocument&node=132100_US
A good place to start would be the example titled, "DAQdoubleBuf.c" which ships with the NI-DAQ driver. If you installed the examples for Visual C++ when you installed the NI-DAQ driver you should be able to find this example in the \Program Files\National Instruments\NI-DAQ\Examples\VisualC\AI folder on your computer. This example would be a good template as it is very close to what you are trying to do.
If you observe that you only receive the overflow error when you are operating the two threads, thus ruling out the buffer size as being a potential problem, you may want to examine whether or not your second thread is placing a lengthy exclusion on your data buffer during the period when your first thread is trying to move the data. If your first thread has to wait during the half-buffer transfer this could easily cause the overflow, as the acquisition would be running but the transfer would be paused. Instead of placing a mutual exclusion around one piece of global memory you could try using a queue instead. A queue approach will allow you to pass the data from the first thread into a queue to be read, when convenient, by the second thread. In this method the first thread would never have to wait as the transfer would just be a handoff.

I am unable to view movies that are sent via Messages.

I cannot view movies sent to me in messages. I get a screen that looks like this: MOV_6373.MOV.mov QuickTime movie 1.2MB

What device are you trying to watch movies sent through messages on? If it's an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, try double-tapping the screen when it comes up with the movie name. If that doesn't work, try restarting your iPhone/iPod/iPad and turning off Wi-Fi or cellular data, depending on which one you're using, then turn it back on. Closing and reopening the messages app, or even all your apps, could help also. Keep in mind also that older iPhone models, like 3Gs, may not play movies sent through messages. If you're using a laptop and the messages app, I'd try the same things you would with an iPhone, but clicking instead of tapping of course. Those are the best suggestions I have, hope they help.

I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2

My Problem:
I can not download and play HD rented movies through my TV2
and get the following message "an error occurred loading this content. Try again later"
Do others have the same problem of not being able to play rented HD?
All my other activities are normal. I can play Standard Def rentals, Movie Previews, HD MLB, and all else as necessary except HD rentals
I have a 13.5 Mbps connection.
I have gone through ALL of the expected procedures. Changed the cable, did a reset, did a restore.
This has happened with two TV2's as I replaced the first one due to the "unable to update issues"
The current TV2 now has the current up to date software since that issue has been resolved for all.
Any answers???
Location Melbourne Australia.

This is a new TV2. Actually my second. First bought less than 2 weeks ago. it was returned to the store and replaced because of the issue of not being able to update the TV2 software from 4.1.1 to 4.2.2.
Both machines had that same problem, and both could not play the rented HD movies.
The second TV2 has sicne been able to update to 4.2.2 when everyone else who had that problem went away this last weekend. So I have gone from 4.1.1 on two machines and no HD rentals to the current one updated to 4.2.2 and still no HD rentals.
The Standard def comes in fine and no real delay. And IF the movie previews are HD (when it is turned on in settings) then I have had NO problems viewing them.
I also have NO problem viewing HD MLB games on the TV2

Poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker.

Very poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker. Sound through ear bud is fine. A different 7g Nano sounds fine through the same speakers. There does not seem to be debris in the lightning port. Any suggestions?

Whenever i watch streamed .avi movies through DivX firefox crashes, why?

whenever i try to watch DivX movies through a streaming website, the extension to the movies are .avi files, only these streams cause my firefox to crash. if i would just let the firefox load itself out of the problem, which i have, it never does until i CTRL ALT DELETE it in the end task manager.
streaming worked fine for .avi files before the new firefox update, so will this error be fixed, or is it something else? and if so how do i fix the problem so i can continue to view these movies online?

Was having the same problem. Uninstalled the latest which is 8.1+, decided to go with an older version 8.o (released 9 months ago). Only installed the web player, works great after downgrade. Although wiki states 8.0.1 is stable and working.
