Help me buy a cable! Pleeeease!

Post by Artemiy »

Hey everyone!

I desperately need a cable from Apple called Composite AV Cable, part number MB129. It is for connecting their iPod/iPhone devices to a TV. I need only the one that Apple produces, no third-party cable works with iPhone OS 3.0 and above.

Here are a couple examples of where it's sold:

I would actually prefer it from continental Europe, i.e. with a euro-style plug (not US or UK plug).

Could someone help me buy this cable and ship to Ukraine? I will of course cover all the costs.

Thanks very much!

Yes, that's exactly the cable I need! Desperately need ;-)

Actually this is a euro plug:

But the US type can be used via this kind of adapter:

(I think the website you provided a link for just uses Apple's stock US images)

The cheapest I have found these that include the newest updates is on ebay Artemiy.

The power adapter that you are talking about is just a standard USB to EURO adapter and can be bought on ebay for about a pound.

Thanks for the link, Flumpster! This one seems like the right one too (supports OS 3.x), although it doesn't display Apple's packaging... and it doesn't seem to include the power supply. Gotta look into it more.

This will not be an original apple product but probably a third of the price.

The second link is to the power supply you wanted.

When you do finally get some cables and get it all set up it might be worth you looking at this...

I don't know if you already have a media center somewhere in your house that can stream movies from your main computer but this will send it straight to your Touch over wifi and if connected to your tv then there also.

It converts your films on the fly to a format that the Touch can recognize and only takes about 3 seconds to buffer..

Brilliant little app even if you don't connect it to tv..

Well I found it for like 30 pounds with the PSU on Amazon UK so that should be perfect.

As of that software, looks interesting! I need that cable for a different purpose, though, I want to be able to show pictures and videos to my friends or parents when we happen to visit them. Or eventually hack into a local video billboard and stream some porn instead of the annoying ads! :-)

Artemiy, I've ordered it for you. Let's revert to private e-mail while we discuss this porn streaming in more detail :o)
