Ipod no longer works in car after software upgrade

After doing the most recent software upgrade on my ipod touch, the device is no longer recognised when i cnnect it to my car stereo (infinity). How can i uninstall the last upgrade??

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometime the iOS update breaks compatibility and yo have to wait for either an iOS update or a firmware update for your car system.

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

Ipod touch no longer charges in car after software upgrade. Wants app?

I have an Ipod touch 4th generation. It was working beautifully connected to the USB port in my 2012 Honda CRV until I upgraded the software to 5.1.1. Now it says that I need an App but it won't tell me what App and it no longer charges through the car's USB. It still plays through the car stereo but I have to disconnect it from the USB to control it.

You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem then the iOS broke full compatibility. you have to then wait for either Apple to fix the problem in an iOS update or for Honda to fix it via a firmware update/
Have you contacted Honda?

Control at ipod no longer works in car

This past Christmas I had an ipod adapter installed in my Hummer-3 (2006)
Everything was working fine.
With the most recent update (1.1.1), I am no longer able to control my ipod THRU THE IPOD.
I brought my car into the dealer that installed the ipod adapter, and they came to the conclusion that the software update to itunes & ipod is where the proboem is.
To fix this - I've tried going back to the older version in both itunes & ipod - but, without success. I get library version conflicts.
Please help Me !!!!!!!

Man, I'd really like to help you.
Although I never had, until now, to downgrade, I think the post below b y Sue Marsh, might help you doing it.
I’m still holding up to my 1.0.3, mainly because of my car interface, which I’m almost sure will stop working with 1.1, or 1.1.1 – call it a feeling – such are the messes created with these never-ending, never-working-properly-upgrades
Hope this will be of some help – the thread is long enough, so I cut for you what I think is the most relevant part
Good luck

Re: Classic Firmware 1.1: What's new?
Posted: Jan 29, 2008 12:17 PM in response to: dragon21
The 1.1 upgrade is usually in this folder on a Windows PC; C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates. When you have found the 1.1 upgrade, follow the steps below; 1. Disconnect your iPod and close iTunes2. Remove the files for 1.1 (delete them, move them to another folder, whatever).3. Make sure you have both files for v1.0.3 in their proper location ie in the iPod software updates file (the one mentioned at the beginning of this message).4. Reopen iTunes and select Edit > Preferences. A dialogue screen headed "iTunes" will open. On the tab marked "General", click the box labelled "Check for updates automatically". (The check box should now be clear.) Click OK at the bottom of the screen to close the iTunes dialogue screen.5. Now connect your iPod.6. Click the "Restore" button7. Answer yes when asked if you want to install older firmware8. Let the update do its thingIf you find that you do not have v1.0.3 on your computer (see step 3 above), there is a website (mentioned earlier in this thread) where you can download it;http://rapidshare.com/files/73863240/1.0.3.zip.htmlI hope this helps. If not, post again for more help. Sue"

ITouch won't work in car after Software update

After the latest update to iOS 4.2.1 my iTouch cannot be identified by the multimedia system of my Volvo XC60 anymore. The Volvo dealer stated that Volvo cannot help and that this problem is already reported to apple. As there is no information about whether/when a solution would be available, I should like to reinstall the previous version of iOS: How does this work??
Thank you for your support
Tom

There is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS. I also recommend that you search the iPod Touch forum, using the search function on the right, for volvo since this has come up before.

Email stopped working on 9300 after software upgrade via PC

Hi
I recently (Friday) updated my software to V6.0 Bundle 2647 as recommended by my PC.
After installing the new software my phone registered on the network etc but my mail has stopped working
I can not connect to the to the email settings but can get into it via o2 website and all looks ok.
Any ideas or should I roll back to the previous version ? if possible ?

If anyone has the same problem I just reset my version to the previous release software version 6.0 Bundle 2391 and its all working again ....

IPOD no longer recognized by iTunes after newest upgrade!!!!

I just upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My IPOD is now not recognized by Itunes. I get this message: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software". I followed the instructions and I also downloaded the latest iPod updater software. Restarted the computer only to get the same message - OVER AND OVER.
I have never had this issue prior to downloading this newest upgrade. A patch or resolution is needed ASAP to fix this issue. People invest TOO MUCH money in these products for something silly like this to occur.

However, iTunes now want's me to update to a new version (1.4)!?! Should I do this or wait until Apple fixes 1.5?
hi John!
hmmm. do you mean itunes 5.0.1.4? what version of itunes are you running currently? (just to be on the safe side, let's head into your itunes "help > about" and check to see precisely which version number scrolls up from the bottom.)
love, b

Bold no longer works in Mail, after Leopard upgrade

Since upgrading to 10.5.1 -- and maybe to 10.5 -- I can no longer use bold style when composing a new email in Mail. Command-B and Format > Style > Bold have no effect. By contrast, italics and underline still work fine.

Hi There
Yes, I'm having a similar problem in Mail too. Using Arial 12pt (standard for mail)
For example:
If I key 'This is a test'. Then select it and either hit command B or go up to format and select bold, i get this: *is is es* How weird!... I'd like to hear from apple on this??
Just wondering is people with problems like this are using a third party font utility?... I'm using Suitcase. Don't know if this bears any relevance?
Something else relating to Mail in Leopard too...
In Tiger you used to see how 'big' your mail was you were creating to send to someone. Say you attached a 2mb pdf or pic.. it would come up in the bottom left of your mail saying the size. (ok this wasn't exactly accurate and it might say 2.3Mb, but it was useful becuase if you went over your outgoing mail server maximum size, it would show up in red.
This info/feature has been eliminated and forgotten in Leopard Mail!
Why?... Does any one know?
thanks
Pete

Microsoft office 2004 no longer works with latest system software upgrade

Since the latest automatic upgrade to my system OS X 10.6.8 Microsoft Office 2004 will not open work properly. Excel cannot import a text file and Entourage cannot append an attachment. In both cases they go into limbo and I have to force quit. Has anyone else had the problem and is there a fix as I am now without a properly operating email program.

Download & install this security update:

Software update should show it as available.

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

Why does my ipod no longer work with my alpine car stereo

my ipod connects directly to my alpine car stereo and up til now it has worked great. i recently synced my ipod to my computer and i think it updated the software on my ipod and now my ipod no longer works with my alpine stereo. what is up? did apple change something that would make my ipod no longer compatible with my car stereo? if so, what do i do? i have about $1000 invested in my car stereo and ipod specifically for car use. this is a serious issue for me! i just want my ipod to work like it did…
i just connected my friends ipod and it works fine. he has version 1.1.1 software on his. i have version 2.3 on mine. since my ipod works fine by itself i’m assuming that the incompatibility between my ipod and my alpine is due to the software update.
here again, what do i do? how can i get an older version of software back on to my ipod?
ipod v.2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

what kind of connection do you have? do you use the ipod 30 pin cable that connects directly to the head unit? it so, maybe you could get help on the alpine site, or a similar site?it could just be a bad connection. you may just have to go oldschool and use rca cables and plug those in...

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplug from car......

Help my Ipod suddenly stopped working 2 min after unplugging it from my scion pioneer ipod ready radio. I am not sure what happened; it was working fine and charged sufficiently and i walked into the gym and tried to turn it on, and no life. I tried plugging it back into my car and it says "i-pod read error". I then tried to plug it into my computer and it doesnt even read it. I may have unplugged it when it said do not disconnect; i am not sure though.Any suggestions? thanks!

I'd say your "Scion Pioneer" radio fried your Mini; could have been a power surge, or could be a bug.
You might want to go the "aux jack" route next time.

TS1702 apps I purchased for my ipod no longer work because my ipod is 4.2 and the app has be upgraded but needs 4.3 but I cant upgrade to 4.3 so what do I do

apps I have purchased from apple no longer work because they have been upgraded and will now only work on 4.3........my ipod is 4.2 so how do I resolve this, my ipod is up to date with the updates it can accept

If you didn't keep any compatible copies of them, you can't use them without buying a newer device.

My computer with my itunes crashed and my ipod no longer works. I purchased a new ipod and would like to download my music but I am unable to

My computer with my itunes crashed. I can no longer use that computer. My ipod no longer works so I bought a new one. I would like to download my itunes that I have but I don't know how to get the information onto my new ipod.

Your itunes purchases for music, etc are tied to your itunes account - any computer (up to 5) can be authorized with your iTunes account information. Enter your iTunes account name and password in the iPod - you don't say which version of iOS is on your iPod so more details can't be given until knowing that.

Apple Composite AV Cable no longer working on Ipad2 after ios8 update. Only getting sound, can you revert back to ios7 or buy a cable that will work any help would be appreciated

The 30-pin connector on the iPhone 4 dock might not have all the connector pins to do video.
I'm 99% sure the Universal Dock does have the pins (and therefor supports video out).
