iPod touch Problem with APPLE COMPOSITE AV cable?

[REDDUB]

Basically everything is fine apart from the video being in black and White.
This is the one I have.

The components on tv are yellow, red and White which I'm assuming has something to do with the problem?

Composite cables have red, white and yellow connectors with one prong each. Component cables look similar, but are red, green and blue. Not interchangeable.

Yeah, you have the wrong the cable for your TV. Buy the correct one (composite).

But component also has an extra red and white for audio.

stupid question time:what does the component one do, how does it differ from the composite one?

They serve the same purpose, carry data between a device and a display. Both are analogue.

Composite (RWY) can only do 480i/p and 576i/p (standard definition).
However, component (RGBRW) can handle high-definition content (480i, 480p, 576i, 576p, 720p, and 1080p).

If your TV is standard definition it will not have component inputs.
