I recently purchased an apple digital av adapter (HDMI), works great with iphone 4s, but not with my ipod touch (last gen), it only mirrors out the audio, but not the image, tried everything, even updating to iOS5, didn´t work out, tried plugin and unpluggin, how can I fix this issue? I tried it out in different TV, but get the same results.
Thanks!!!!

You are using an app that supports TV out like the Video app, right?
You can try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store
HI,
I would like to share my experience with the Digital AV Adapter that I bought last week.
I am using iPad 2 with latest iOs 5.1, bought a new Digital AV adapter from Apple Store, connected it with my existing HDMI cable (unknown version) that came with the DVD player, didnt work.
The TV keeps flashing and blinking on and off. Went back to Apple Store to exchange the adapter, thinking it was the problem, went home and tried, same problem.
Then I went to the TV shop where I purchased my TV with all my adapter and existing cable, tested with the same model they have on display, same problem. The sales guy took their cable, worked fine immediately.
He said that was an older version 1.3 cable.
He took another new one branded version 1.4, problem started again, blank screen and blinking.
So conclusion is the HDMI cable compatibility with the TV.
To cut a long story short, The Summary is:
1. Not all HDMI Cables are equal, there are versions and compatibility, the latest and most expensive one doesnt mean its the best and may not always work. The one that I found compatible with my tv is version 1.3 (latest 1.4), so test with a few HDMI cables, test at the shop or borrow from friends. Finally I bought the working cable from the TV shop for $15, dont get fooled by all the expensive "latest gold plated life time warranty stuff".
2. Not all HDMI ports on the tv are equal too (apparently). I'm using a Sharp Aquos LED 40' TV with 3 HDMI Input ports, Input port 1 and 2 did not work properly, Input port 3 did. Dont know why, I thought they were all equal contrary to my thinking.
3. Not all HD TVs are compatible, but I found it could possibly be the combination of the built-in functions and the HDMI cables connecting to the iPad. I test on 2 other TV models of the same brand, worked with my old HDMI cable.
4. While a restart of the iPad maybe needed, I didnt restart but worked fine. So try restarting if it doesnt.
Tried it on my wife's iPhone, works the same. Hope it helps. Cheers.
