Apple, if you're reading this, I just returned a new iPod Nano and got an old iPod Video (5th Gen) on ebay because you BROKE the TV-out on newer models. The new models won't play on the treadmills where I exercise, even though the dock connector still fits! Even if I forked out $50 for a cable(!!!), it still wouldn't work on older dock equipment like treadmills etc, so back goes the nano.
I have a ipod classic 120gb with the same kind of cable but when I follow the steps and start up a video it asks me to hook up a ipod video accesoire and won't play the video until i do. It shows a small pic of something that you would put in the bottom part of the ipod like the usb charger or a docking station. plz help
ok so I read somewhere else that the new ipods can only work with a docking station but not with all of them so I'll pretty much have to guess if it will work with my particular cable. Thx apple for making your own stuff so fucking expensive and fucking up all compatibility with 3rd party gear:D:D
no this will NOT work on a touch im fairly positive. i dont have one so i cant test it.. im actually going to remake this video since i didnt realize it would be so popular lol. i mean its a year old but still thats roughly 40,000 eyes :p
Um........I need help. Ive read some of the comments and some one has the same Ipod as me. Ipod Classic 6th generation. Um i followed everything but i only get the audio.
i used my ipod nano for this. i tryed to listen to music on the Tv but i cant hear the person sing that well i can hear the instuments but i cant hear them singing
i have a 30gb ipod video. i only get audio when i play movies on my tv. how come i don't get any video output?? i also used the av cable from my camcorder.
This won't work for my iPod classic (80 gb). Darn =/. does this mean i have to buy one of the apple ones? I tried this (switching the red and yellow) on all the tvs in my house.
haha i log into my YouTube account for the first time in like 7 months and find this video still going strong =) good to hear it. Yes im still alive and sorry i havent been around to answer your questions. Im trying to get back into doing videos but school is killing me. Thanks for the support
yes i do, you also need to buy a new apple docking station for tv out with svideo for the 6th gen to show tv out so it is very costly apple suck they never mentioned they were going to disable this headphone funtion with the new ipod 6th gen, so i thought i would help others out and save people some money
JUST BUY A 5TH GEN IPOD 30GB VIDEO IF YOU WANT THIS FUNCTION TO WORK OK..... :)
Yeah dude, i know why it doesn't work with your ipod touch. The last generation of ipods classic 80 and 160 Gb and the ipod touch don´t work with this kind of cables. They need the new and expensive apple av composite cable, which has a special chip that allows it to transfer video. All other cables, no matter how expensive, won´t work.
no you need not. because the ipod-site says: the mini-jack (so the not composite-cable) works with the ipod nano 3rd gen. so a normal one should work just fine.. have you tried already switch the yellow for the red plug?
the ipod classic or touch dosent have this function they have a newer cable called RCA cables you cqan buy them for $50 at walmart for your touch or classic and the quality will be a lot better trust me i compared it with my friend at school who has a 60gb vs my 80gp classic in my parents honda odessy it worked a lot better
hey ive got a cable similar like yours but its only got a red and white end - now yellow. so i plugged the red into the yellow and the white to white and the sound was all sorta going on and off.. can you help?
did you check to make sure your ipod was on video out?
i forgot to mention this crucial factor in the video and later just added it to the note about said video...and it really doesnt matter which ports you use because ive used them on all kinds of the YELLOw-WHITE-RED ports on T.V.'s, VCR's, DVR's, and such and they work fine...hope that helps
it should...we did it with my friends little .mp3 player for Audio...not sure about video though...if you have a video out function i can imagine it would work the same way...if not...sorry
this is pretty easy.. and slightly unnecessary. you could have summed the video up in about 15 seconds... but good job taking the liberty in actually making the video. thumbs up, ill try it.
The key is in the cable. If you look at the headphone end of the cable you'll notice that there is one more black stripe than normal headphone cables have. This stripe sections off an area in which video data can be sent.
The video iPod is able to send video out through the headphone port with this extra strip on the cable. (you can get cables like this from radio shack)
