Q: Having trouble using my new touch with my tv. Have the lightening adapter, but only get sound, no video via the cable I used with my touch (4)

How do I use my new touch (5) on my tv. My touch (4) used a cable attached to my tv, so I got a lightening adapter, added to end of cable, and plugged in new touch. Sound came through on tv, but no video. Do I need a new cable that supports this video content??

iPod (5th generation), iOS 8.3

Hello krnsrts2013,

For more information on which Digital AV adapters are compatible with which iOS devices, you may find the information outlined in the following article helpful, in particular this portion:

Apple AV adapters cannot provide video output when used with Lightning to 30-pin Adapter or Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) adapter.

About Apple Digital AV Adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Per the article, for an iPod Touch 5th Gen, you would need either a Lightning Digital AV Adapter or a Lightning to VGA Adapter, depending on your connection type.

Sincerely,
- Brenden

Thanks, I managed to figure this out on my own, after a 2nd online look at the Apple store
