The description says the cord is Non-polarized with a figure-8, 2-pin socket. Mine has one squared pin socket &amp; does not fit my blk apple tv. ????

Hi Timothy, The cable fit perfectly on my Apple TV and until this date it still working.

Now the thing is, it doesn't support a VGA plug. Apple no longer supports that kind of adapter. Only DVI or HDMI. You can get a gadget that converts HDMI to RCA, but the reception is crappy. You may have to upgrade your flat panel... But if you have HDMI outlets on your TV or DVI, you're in luck.

Do you have iOS7? I'm guessing yes... if so, this is because Apple has included an update in iOS7 that prevents your device from detecting non "Made By Apple" cords. In short, Apple has screwed everyone over and cords like this one from Belkin are rendered basically useless. Attach the factory cord from Apple, and it should work fine.

The one I received had a nornal U.S. plug on it. It is not a polarized plug so you can plug it in either way no problem.

With a MAC I would try to get a ready made cable from apple..Customer service can't blame your problem on another manufacturer..It's all their stuff.. I don't like adapters. They introduce another source of resistance , they stick out further {bump into stuff, especially with portable devices], and any device with cable management they may not fit. TV/Monitors with a cable trough and a cover to route cables together..Anyway, I'd get it from AMAZON. You can send it back.

I had the same issue with Apple TV. I had purchased very inexpensive cable and had lots of problems. When I purchased this cable everything worked and life became good. This cable is great for your project.

There is an optical output on the back of the tv that looks like a stereo connector. It will be labeled when you tale a look back there. Works good with the apple tv.

Should work with any Apple device with this style power port. I purchased this as an extra for my AppleTV

Normally with this cord I have to use an OPEN WITH TV-OUT OPTION, button or icon should be there with the IPad's, All my cords that I have purchased on Amazon works great, and if that doesn't work try using a different video cord(yellow cord) on your device :)

If unit is polarized (one prone bigger than the other) & cord is not polarized (one hole elondgated) You need a cord that is polarized.

Doesn't for me. I just purchased this device specifically to convert my apple tv hdmi output to the component in on an older Sony Bravia (supports resolutions up to 1080i). The video signal fails to convert to something the TV can understand - it's a scrambled mess. My apple TV is 3 years old. Any compatibility or version issues that might be a problem?

You've come across the same issues that I have in trying to set up my Apple TV. Basically the problem is that the instructions work fine -- as long as you are willing to let Apple TV be your "one and only" device. Most folks want to do what you and I do, though, use several devices via HDMI. I believe the only way to do that is with an HDMI splitter -- and not a switch. Use that and you're stuck with having to take still another step to do what should be seamless. I love Apple products -- in the abstract -- but their mindset is that they don't care to play nice with other technologies.

No, not for the standard ones that come from Apple. The opening is big enough that the plug fits with no issues.

This not for just Apple products. This connection is mini display port to HDMI. (not thunderbolt)

I had the same result. Very annoying. If you already have the older cable you just need to buy the adapter from Apple. Wish I knew that before I ordered this.

No it is not polarized, perfect for use on vintage audio equipment that was not designed for a polarized plug.

maybe, you have to set up a certain resolution in your apple tv, i had that with a similar adapter.
