Is this plug n play stuff? I connected it with my iPhone 4 and TV but nothing appeared on the screen. Did I do it wrong?

Works perfectly fine as plug'n'play on my wife's iphone 4S that has NOT been updated to the new iOS 8. Shows the desktop & everything. It does not work with my 4S because I installed the new iOS which allows Apple to screw me out of using this non-Apple accessory ("This iphone does not support this device")

I googled this issue and seems that for older iPhones like model 4 you have to start playing some video or display some images then your TV will start displaying it. But it will not show your phone "desktop". It will do it only for iPhone5. So make sure your source is correct and start playing something.

You have to make sure you select the correct input where you plugged in the back of the TV.

This happened to me too! I have know I have my tv on the right HDMI setting because I can hear the audio but nothing else. I already tried using photo and video but nothing worked! I am using an iPod 4th gen. Please help!

I used this cord to connect our iPhone to a TV. The only thing I can think of is to check the TV's input source. Once you plug something into a TV's HDMI slot, or any other slot, it should recognize it and either the TV automatically changes to that input source, or you have to do it manually. Usually your remote control has the ability to do that but definitely the menu on your TV should control it, too. Hope this helps!

Nothing appeared on my screen either but I did eventually get audio, no video.

It didn't mirror the iphone4 for me, the only thing that showed on my tv was when I opened up my Netflix, Hulu plus, or HBO app. hope this helps

Hi Marisa, I do it all the time. I connect my iPhone 4, roku, cable box through hdmi. One question for you. Are you using the apple hdmi connector? You need to attatch your iPhone to the connector and then connect the adaptor to the hdmi input on your projector. It should read the adaptor. Make sure you have the tv out option on your phone engaged. Good luck!

Hi the App is Software dependant but I think it is working on 6 and 7 but please check again on the website. For me it is working with 7 and IPhone 4s and I used it also on an IPad with the new plug adapter It is slow on PC and you can't access directly from any App to this device. You first have to copy it on the IPhone memory and then you can use it

It was working. I'm not sure why it isn't now. Perhaps it is an iOS 7.1 issue. I assumed something was wrong with my monitor. I'll post an update if it works on another monitor.

We had to fuss first with the plugs to the hand device. Then we had to set the television (or video screen) to video only. Since this was a new device, we had to become familiar for how it worked. It took time but it is well worth it. Good Luck.

I have only used mine to play material from the Internet onto my HDTV. I got this adaptor, however, because it is supposed to have a chip in it that will keep your purchased content from being blocked. I would contact Apple to see what the problem was.

It has worked perfectly fine for me. I've been using it for almost a month every day. It requires a USB connection for power source and an HDMI and VGA cable (A 3.5 mm audio jack if needed). Is plug-and-play meaning that no installation is necessary.

How are you trying to connect it? Hdmi? Pc cable hook up thing? An apple hook up? Magic?

Did you set it up properly, by connecting it to the tv? I did not have this problem. And yes the user interface on this thing is horrible. But it works.

Too funny. I had the same problem with my iphone5 until actually tonight. It's found by swiping in the upward motion from the main bottom button. A light grey screen comes up with sound, Bluetooth etc...it's under airplay

The option for outgoing audio and video show up in your settings, but ONLY if the cables are connected already. You need to hook it up to the TV as well as the iPad, then go to your settings and you should find the right option to make it work. Took me a couple of tries, and some forum searches, to get it but now it works great. I also have the iPad2...

At first nothing showed up when I plugged it in either, then I installed the "Nexus Media Importer" app. It doesn't require anything else aND now when I plug in the cable/usb the app will pop up and let me access files, etc. The app does cost money, but it solved all my connecting problems.

Yes this item is plug and play. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any questions. Sincerely, Briana

Hey there! I purchased this av cable to plug my Iphone 4 to our TV to watch shows or movies and it worked pretty well. I had previously purchased the "apple approved" av cable and they both work exactly the same. The only difference was the price ;)Now, do not expect to see every video on your TV screen. This cable allows to watch shows and movies from providers like Netflix, Hulu , etc. not from YouTube and such.

Hmmm, interesting. I just checked the manual and page 26 gives a very specific wiring chart as to how to set up the component input. Then on page 39 it shows the input settings to match the wiring you selected.I really prefer HDMI as the best way to go. I have everything feeding the receiver with HDMI and one output to the TV. All of my device selections are made through the receiver and it works like a charm. I use their APP for my Apple iPad to control the receiver.For the record, I have not used the component video inputs on this receiver so it is hard to speak from actual experience. Hmmm, interesting.
