Look at the very bottom of the iPod. There should be a port that you usually use when plugging the device into its charger. The smaller end of your iPod to AV cable should have a component that connects to this port. Plug the cable into the iPod to continue. It is compatible with all version of the iPod. If you do happen to have an iPod AV cable instead of the composite version, you will need to plug the iPod end of the cable into the headphone jack.
Locate the red, white, and yellow composite ports on your television. The other end of your cable should have two audio and one video plug, which are also red, white, and yellow. Plug the color-coded components on this cord into the corresponding color ports of your television set.
If you have a VCR or other device currently occupying the AV composite ports on your television set, you may need to plug this cable into the video-in and audio-in ports on the front of your VCR instead of plugging them directly into the TV.
Switch your TV to the correct source. The precise method you will need to follow will vary based on your television set. You might need to switch to a certain channel—usually channel 2, 3, or 4—or you might need to press the "Source" or "Input" button on your remote control until you find an input labeled as "Video" or something similar.
For additional guidance, consult your television's instruction manual. Navigate to the video settings. Find your way to the "Video Settings" menu of your iPod.
If you are not already on the main menu, get there by pressing the "Home" button, for iPod Touch, or by pressing the center click wheel for a standard iPod until you reach the main menu.
From the main menu, swipe across or scroll down until you see "Video. From the broader "Video" menu, swipe or scroll until you find the "Video Settings" option. Select it with a tap or a center click. Select "TV Out. Tap on it if you have an iPod Touch or highlight it and press the center of the click wheel of you have a standard iPod. The word "On" should appear. If not, there should be another indication that the "TV Out" option has been activated.
Note that you should see the iPod screen mirrored on your TV screen as soon as you complete this step. If it does not work, check your connection on both ends of the cable and verify that your TV set is on the correct source or channel. Watch your video. Find the video you want to play by scrolling through your iPod menu as usual. Select it, then watch it play on your TV screen.
Using this method, your video should appear on the TV at a resolution of i. This is far from being high definition, but it is almost as good as standard DVD quality. Method 2. Connect the dock or adapter to your iPod. If you are using a dock, you will connect your iPod simply by sliding the bottom port into the appropriate slot.
The bottom port of the iPod should slide directly into the charging component of the dock stand. If you are using an adapter, you will need to plug the charger end of the cord into the same charging port at the bottom of the device. Make sure that you have the correct dock or adapter for your device. You will not be able to use the lightening adapter since it is not compatible with the iPod. Connect the dock or adapter to the TV. The exact ports you will need to use will vary depending on your choice of adapter or dock.
When using an Apple Composite AV cable, plug video-in and audio-in components to the TV and the video-out and audio-out components to the dock. Watching music videos and movies on your iPod is convenient for traveling or for watching during breaks at work, but when you're home or have access to a TV, you can hook up your iPod to it using an RCA jack and watch your content on a bigger screen.
Apple sells USB adapters, but you can use any adapter brand. Plug the USB adapter into a wall power outlet. Skip this step if you want to run the iPod off of battery power while watching videos.
This configuration is different if your RCA composite cable is not manufactured by Apple: the red end of the cable goes to the yellow jack; the yellow end of the cable goes to the white jack; and the white end of the cable goes to the red jack.
For these apps to work, you need a compatible TV and it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi. You can also use third-party programs that turn your iOS device into a universal remote.
