Has any iPod Touch 4th generation users had trouble with AV to HDMI connectivity and accessory firmware downloads?
iPod shuffle, iOS 6.1.3
What do you mean by problems? What happens and does not happen? Do you get audio only?
TV out on the 4G only works for apps that support TV out. The Video app supports TV out. If the app does not support TV out you will only get audio
What do you mean by "accessory firmware downloads?"?
What I mean is that recently, when I connect my iPod touch to my HDTV with the AV and HDMI cable connector to mirror image video to my televison I get a window on the iPod that says: Acessory - Downloading accessory firmware. Your accessory will not function until the download completes.
Only there doesn't seem to be anything happening. Ive gone to settings, then update software and I appear to be up to date, running on iOS 6.1.3 for the iPod Touch. I purchased the devise new from the Apple Store just 6 months ago. Should I try restoring the devise to the factory settings? Thank you for your assisatnce.
Hence my accessories, the AV cable & HDMI connector, don't work, which results in not reflecting what's playing on the iPod to the television...
.The 4G iPod does not mirror the iPod's screen via TV out. Only the 5G iPod does that. The your iPod and cable display video TV out when you use the Apple Video app?
Yes it displays video TV out when I use the Apple video app. I have the latest iPod Touch, bought only 6 months ago. At least it did a few days ago. Now when I connect it to my tv I get this window - Acessory - Downloading accessory firmware. Your accessory will not function until the download completes. And there's nothing wrong with my AV connector or HDMI cable. They work just fine with my iPhone 5. Should I reset my device to it's factory settings and see if that will remedy my problem?
You said "Yes it displays video TV out when I use the Apple video app."
What app does not work? As I previously siad, the 4G only suypports TV out on apps that support TV out.
The TV out on the iPhone 5 (and 4S and 5G iPod) morror the iPods screen for all apps unlrss an app specifically disabled TV out.
All the apps work. Eveything is operatible on my iPod. I'm just unable to view video, nor even the screen saver when connected to the AV HDMI cables. I get this window on the iPod - Acessory - Downloading accessory firmware. Your accessory will not function until the download completes. And my software, including firmware apppears to be current. I appreciate your help. But I don't think I'm making it clear as to my particular problem. I don't know how else to explain it. Thanks anyway...
As I said, the TV out on the 4G iPod ony works for apps that upport TV out. If the app does not support TV pout yu will get nothing on the TV screen

Thanks for your assistance. But I went ahead and reset my iPod back to the factory settings and that seems to have resolved the problem. There was never any issues with internet nor anything else to do with any of the other applications on my device. I'm back in business! BTW, I also backed up and saved all my data before resetting. 🙂
