Ipod Touch is not playing music through doc.

Ipod Touch (3rd gen) is not playing music through doc. No problem until yesterday. It still works fine off doc but as of yesterday it will only either charge (most of the time) or play music (rare), Not both. Also the message "accessory is not supported by ipod touch" periodically shows up on the ipod touch screen.
My other daughters ipod touch (2nd gen) works on this doc as normal. Also, both of these ipod touches still work on my 2nd daughters stereo doc normally.
Both are on software 4.2.1

Look into the dock connector on the problem iPod. Look for dirt, debris, bent or broken connector and other abnormalities. Compare with the working iPod.

My iPod touch won't play music through the dock speakers

The other day I went to plug my IPod touch into my dock to play some music, as i do every night. My dock seemed fine, my IPod started charging, but when i turned the music on it only played out of the IPod speakers, not out of the dock. i figured it was the dock that was broken, so i plugged my IPod into my backup dock and it did the exact same thing. The only way i can get my IPod to play music out of the dock is to plug it in through the headphone jack. My IPod still plays music out loud so i have no idea what's wrong.

There is another thread entitled "brand new iPod touch 4th gen will not sit on dock of Sony Dream Machine" that mentions similar problems and claims to be resolved. Actually it is not. Some say that there is a plastic piece to bend but it is unspecified which one they are thinking of and which way to "bend" it. Besides, I am not sure any guaranty will work if one does this kind of work on the iPod. It would be preferable if someone from Apple would take responsibility and mention what has to be done or if there will be a recall of the items with a modified system.

Ipod touch will not play music on Apple TV

I have recently purchased Apple TV. For the most part i have no issues. However iPod touch will airplay video to Apple TV but no icon appears to airply music. Mucsic and video will airplay from my iPhone 4 and my iPad, but iPod touch's gen 2, 3 and 4 will only play video. Can someone help or refer me to a post where this has been resolved?
Thanks in advance.

I have had the same issue since getting the iBooks 1.5 upgrade. Now whenever I go into iBook my music just fades out and stops as if I opened a program that will be using the audio. I have tried the back up and reset, etc. to no avail.
The funny thing is that I can open an App like Angry Birds where I have the audio muted and music will continue playing. Seems as if it is a bad update to iBooks. My iPod Touch is the 8GB from the prev generation, not sure if that would matter based on the App.

IPod Touch 4 not playing music after iOS 5 Update. Help?

Like most people, I too have been having issues with the new iOS 5 update. After installing it, everything is perfect... except for the fact that my iPod only seems to play songs I have in an m4a format now. All of my other songs in an mp3 format will not play. The other thing is, when I play a playlist and such, the song I select is skipped and goes on to the play the next song in the list. My iPod was working perfecting before the update. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

Why is my ipod not playing music through a docking station?

Why is my ipod touch not playing music through a docking station?

Did it work before with this iPod?
Did you do something to the iPod since it last worked?
Does the manufacture way it will work with your model iPod and its iOS?

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

I would try in oreder:
- Resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

IPhone 4 using iOS 6.0.1 will not play music through my car stereo

I have an iPhone 4 since it became available on Verizon's network. I have had no issues with my phone since I began using it. I own a 2008 VW Rabbit with the optional iPhone/iPod docking station to play music through the car's stereo. I purchased a docking extention cable because my phone would not fit on the docking connector properly due to my phone case. Everything has been working beautifully, sans the charging feature, until a few weeks ago. Normally, I would start the iPod app, load the song or playlist I want to play, and plug it in to begin hearing my music. However, recently the music stopped playing through my car speakers and only played through the built-in speakers on my phone once plugged into the docking station. I have tried hard-rebooting (holding home button/sleep button at same time until Apple logo appears), soft rebooting (holding sleep button to slide power off), exiting all open apps, opening/closing iPod app, changing different settings through the Settings app, etc. I am at my wits' end. I use my phone to listen to my loaded music, Pandora and Slacker Radio. It has gotten really boring listening to local radio during my commutes. Please Community, help me!

i have same problem in UK - my phone no longer works with my car cable - it will charge the phone, my ipad works fine, as does my old itouch so I know that the cable is ok. It comes up with no connection even though it is charging it. It used to be fine I dont understand why this would happen?

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
How do I fix this?

The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?
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.
- Unsync all music and audion book and resync
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Using iPod Touch remotely while playing back through home stereo.

Hey, I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm interested in knowing if there is a set of accessories I can buy that will allow me to do this:
I want to play music through my home stereo. I want to use the iPod Touch to select which music is played, and I don't want to have to have the Touch plugged into anything.
The music doesn't necessarily need to be played from the Touch, it can be played from my computer instead, the Touch would just need to be able to control and browse my iTunes in this case. Or alternatively the Touch could stream music to some sort of station connected to the stereo.
Is this possible right now or do I need to wait for a new product to allow me to do this.
Lets say price is no concern right now, is there anything out there that would allow me to do this?
Thanks

there is a web application currently that would allow the touch to remotly control ur itunes on ur computer i have not tried it....but it seems like it would be what u are interest in.....

IPhone (3G & 2G) Not Playing Music Through Intempo RDi Since 3.1 Update

Both my partners iPhone 2G and my 3G have stopped reliably playing music through our Intempo RDi DAB/Dock device since upgrading them to 3.1
When connecting either iPhone to the device no music is played and the iPhone does not respond to button presses on the remote. If the iPhone is left playing music the device will sometimes eventually start making sound after 45-60 seconds but will often stop again. The device will also not produce any sound in DAB or FM mode if the iPhone is connected to charge but works fine as soon as the iPhone is disconnected.
Both phones tell me that the device is not 'made to work with an iPhone' (or whatever the standard message is) when they're connected and offer to go into airplane mode. They always did this on earlier firmware revisions but continued to play music okay.
There's a post from another user on these forums relating to a similar issue with an iPod Touch on 2.2.1 that was resolved with a replacement iPod but I'm suspicious as both phones started exhibiting the issue at the same time. I've also logged a call with Intempo's customer support so I'll see how that goes, too...

First of all what kind of "Restore" are you doing? When an iphone is having issues its either a "Software" issue or a "Hardware" issue. You would eliminate the easiest one first which is software. Because the iphone is like a small computer be advised that it can have errors with 3rd party applications and its own operating system which may affect the way the iphone works.
You need to restore the iphone to the factory settings. After that you must setup your iphone as new and not from the backup. You then can sync back any data from itunes or your computer. You however cannot restore from a backup which may contain errors.
If your issue still persist afterwards from a restore as new iphone then you got yourself a hardware issue. As there are plenty other iphones out there without the issue.
However from the information I gather I dont believe your issue is with software. faint images and grey horizontal lines is indication of physical or accidental damage to the hardware. Be advise it can be external or internal hardware damage or failure.

My iPod touch will not play or charge on my non apple dock since the software was updated,why is this?

My iPod touch used to play and charge in my non apple dock but now will do neither. Looking back it appears to have stopped working when the software was updated to 5.1. Why is this?

There are two sides to this. On the one hand, an Apple upgrade bricked your dock and that bites. On the other hand, Apple can't be expected to design around 3rd party devices that don't follow the specifications. We don't know why Apple made this particular change that bricked your dock so it is difficult to judge whether or not there was a good reason behind it. We also do not know why AIVN didn't follow the specification but it was probably cost related.
Note: If you sell the iPod, you'll still have a non-functioning dock. You can sell it to someone with an older iPhone or iPod that can't be updated to iOS 5.1.
