Need help with iPod classic/Alpine stereo deck interface

Hey All-
I have installed a brand new Alpine CDE-143BT stereo deck in my car.  I have a 160gb iPod classic that I connect and control via the iPod sync cable, directly into the USB port on the deck. I currently have 113GB of music on the iPod.  The deck is less than 4 months old, and the iPod also has the most current software on it. 
When I do an alphabetical search for Artist, Album, etc. I have noticed that not all of the letters in the search take me to that letter group.  For example, when I do a search for "D" it goes to "The Crystal Method";  "M-T" it takes me to "The Kinks", and so on.  It seems to be worse with an Artist search over Album search. 
Any suggestions?

If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
Keith's iPod Photo Reader Mac only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

  • Need help with iPod classic photo sync

    I received an iPod classic with photos of my wedding on it, as a gift. I want to move the photos from the iPod to my Apple TV device, but when I try to sync, I'm prompted with the warning that a sync would replace the photos on the iPod with photos from my computer's library...something I'm obviously trying to avoid.
    Any suggestions?

  • Help with ipod classic 80gb 2nd new ipod not working

    I need some help with my ipod, this is the second ipod I have had in the same number of weeks the first one worked fine for about 8 days and then when syncing one night it froze and then would not disconnect, I searched the support section and worked how to reset the ipod which | did many times, in the end I restored the ipod to the factory settings and synced again the end result of this was that the ipod would not turn on despite everything that I tried. The apple log would appear and the ipod would then try desperatley to switch itself on with the apple logo appearing and disappering all the time. Apple have replaced the ipod and I have fully charged the new ipod synced it this evening all was ok, the ipod synced and then told me to disconnect and the same thing is happening again I have tried to reset multiple times and all that happens now is the apple logo appears and disappers it will not switch on or off, itunes keeps telling me that it cannot recognise the ipod at this time and the safely remove section on my task bar on my computer is telling me that the ipod has malfunctioned. can anyone help? am I doing something wrong someone suggested that I should have downloaded itunes once I had my ipod and not before, I have about 20GB of music in itunes and I was not aware that you needed to use or own an ipod to use this music storage system
    HELP
    Thanks in anticipation

    well it looks like you might have a tech issue here; try to return the ipod and choose a different store and buy one ... also try to uninstall itunes totally, back up your songs on a CD or DVD, and then re-install a fresh new copy of itunes ... this might work ... good luck!

  • Itunes U help with Ipod Classic??

    I have an Ipod Classic 160gb model.. and I'm trying to download videos from Itunes U (language videos)..
    I can download them fine, but whenever I actually sync my ipod, it says there is an error because my ipod has the wrong video format set??
    How do I cange my video format to allow myself to view these Itunes U videos?
    Or is my Ipod Classic the problem?
    Please help, thankyou! =)

    Hey there,
    This might work. Try right->clicking on the video and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". This conversion may take a while depending on the length of the episode. Once it is done, try resyncing it to your iPod and see if that helps.

  • Need help with Ipod demensions

    I had a 15gb 3rd gen. I need to replace it with an ipod of the same exact size. If I have to get another 15gb that is fine. I also have a 30gb 3rd gen and it is thicker. I read somewhere that the 3rd gen 40gb is the same size as the 15gb?? Can I get a 4th gen? It can be a little thinner but the outside dimensions need to be the same. Any help would be appreciated.

    why do you need an ipod the exact same size as an old ipod...? HuH?...xXxmartinxXx

  • NEED HELP WITH IPOD 4TH GEN

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Need help with Ipod/FM transmitter use in Europe !!!

    HELP! I need to know if I can use my ipod and my Griffin FM Transmitter to listen to tunes and charge the player with a car in Europe (Germany, Italy, etc.)

    It appears that FM transmitters have been passed for use recently by Germany, Switzerland and Iceland. When or if the UK or any other European countries will allow them I don't know.

  • Need help with ipod & itunes

    Hey everyone.
    I just got a ipod video and i went to my friends house and put a whole bunch of songs on it. Well i want those songs on my ipod video onto my itunes on my home computer but i cant seem to get them on without over writting the songs on my ipod video with the songs on my itunes already, which i dont want to happen because i dont want to loose any of the songs on my ipod video. Someone please help me.

    1) go back to your friends house and put all the song files you want into a folder on his computer.
    2) plug in your ipod to his computer and enable disk use.
    3) then open it up from "my computer", you'll see a few folders like "notes", "contacts" etc.
    4) drag and drop the folder you created with all the song files. Don't put this in one of the ipod's pre-made folders.
    5) go home, open your ipod again from disk use and select the folder you made with all the song files. drag and drop this anywhere you want in your computer (I suggest putting it with where you store more music)
    Lastly you need to import these songs, open itunes and select File>Add Folder to Library. you will then select the folder of music from your friends house, wherever you dropped it.
    After you have added the songs to your library you are free to delete ONLY the folder you created in your iPod (with the music files from your friend).
    Hope this helps

  • Need Help With Installling Classic on OS X Panther??

    Hi: When I installed OS X Panther, I wasn't aware that in order to run Classic 9, I needed 9.2. Well, I purchased 9.2 but everytime I install it it's giving me an error message. I've checked the disk as well as my HD and everything seems to be fine. I've turned off screensaver, unplugged my printer and disconnected the cable to the internet. What's up? It still won't install. It keeps saying there were errors in installing. Can anyone help me out here. I'd sure appreciate it.

  • Hey please read need help with ipod

    how do I set my playlist so if i hook up my ipod it only downloads my songs but if anyone else hooks up there ipod there songs won't come into my playlist? PLEASE HELP
    Message was edited by: Alissa-55

    first of all, i'm not sure if i understand your question fully but i believe you just want your OWN playlist so that you can put the songs YOU want on it and no one ELSE can put their music in it?
    if that's the case, you just need to make your own playlist on your ipod.
    open up itunes and near the top, select "file".
    select "new playlist".
    this new playlist should appear on the left-hand side of itunes under 'playlists' right at the bottom. when it appears, it will read 'untitled playlist'. click it once then again, so that you are able to name the playlist to your liking.
    when it comes to putting songs into your own playlist, you can drag any song from your itunes library. choose a song from your itunes library and drag it over to your designated playlist til you see your playlist is outlined with blue and your cursor has a plus sign just below it.
    hope that helps.

    So wouldyou recommend that I update? It was made for use with an att sim but was unlocked for use with a tmobile sim... I just so happen to have att. So the phone being locked for att wouldn't be a bother for me. I've just heard of people getting sim card read errors after updating, so I was wondering if I should even bother.

  • Need Help with iPod Version

    I want to put Linux in my iPod but I need to "unUpdate" it to v 1.0 (its updated to 1.2 right now). I tried alot of stuff but never works...
    I got the 20gb iPod photo (the generation just before Video iPod)
    When I use "restore", my iPod stay at V1.2
    Could someone help me please?
    Is there any way to unUpdate an iPod?
    Thanks for your help.

    See you can have an older version iPod updater here
    http://www.ipodwizard.net/showthread.php?t=7369
    By the way, I suggest you do not put Linux on you iPod, as you will loss the warranty immediately. Also when your iPod get into trouble, it is not easy to revert back

  • Need help with iPod updater

    I recently downloaded the iPod updater for my iPod Nano, but everytime i try to open it, it doesnt come up. I tried downloading the iPod updater a second time, but still the same results. I click on it, and the little hour glass shows up as if its about to open but then it just goes away and the app doesnt open. If someone can help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

    Just out of curiosity, did you download the correct version of the updater - i.e., the Windows version versus the Mac version? Just had to ask.
