Problem with ipod dock and apple remote

I have a problem with my apple remote and my 5th gen ipod on a dock. I set it up and plug it into a TV, yet when i get into a music video playlist- it will only play 4 songs (the same ones) and then go back to the song selection screen. The same thing happens in the movie "tab" as well.
Any ideas?

btabz,
Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
Thanks,

  • Sync Problem with iPod Touch and Apple TV relating to iPhoto

    I have recently recovered from a crash and has to restore everything from my time machine.
    I have an iPod touch that syncs with my itunes and therefore with my iPhoto.
    Same thing with my Apple TV syncing via itunes with my iPhoto.
    After the restore. I have this message:" itunes cannot sync photos to the Apple TV because of a problem on your computer. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation.
    Previously I got the same message when syncing iPod touch with iPhoto. Then I opened iPhoto package content and remove the iPod Photo cache. that solves my iPod touch sync problem.
    How can I sync with Apple TV again?

    I believe you need to reset the Sync services data. Assuming your data on the Mac is correct (or correctable), try this:
    1. If it is easy enough to do, clean up iCal. There are AppleScripts and other tools on the Internet to do this.
    2. Save a copy of you calendar. Just in case. (File, Back up iCal...)
    3. Exit iCal.
    4. Start iSync.
    5. Preferences, Reset Sync History. (If it is greyed out, wait a few minutes.)
    6. Quit iSync.
    7. Start iTunes and plug in your iPod.
    8. Select your iPod and go to the Info tab.
    9. Make sure you have the correct Calendars selected. At the bottom, under Advanced, under Replace information on this iPod, select Calendars.
    10. Sync.
    That should do it.
    Normally, the fiddling with iSync should clear things up, so you can try just that, and syncing, but since your have a messed up situation, I'd go through all these steps once.

  • I bought my iphone unlocked from carephone warehouse, I had a problem with the phone and apple swapped it over but they locked it to tmobile!!! what can i do?? I have changed contracts and can not use my phone!

    I bought my iphone from carephone warehouse, sim free and with no contract. 5 months down the line I had a problem with the phone and I booked a genius appointment, they swapped my phone and gave me a new phone but they locked my phone to tmobile!!! I now do not use tmobile and I have an iphone which is locked to tmobile!!! I bought an unlocked phone and apple have locked it!!! what can i do?

    In response to this, Carphone Warehouse (and Phones4U) sell what is commonly referred to as "sim free" handsets - these are not the same as unlocked. Sim free handsets will automatically lock to the first network sim card that the phone is activated with, and that will be permanently. The only way to unlock the handset would be to go through the network (T-Mobile I understand) and request they unlock it for you. More than likely, there will be a charge as you are no longer a T-Mobile customer.
    If you ever want to purchase a new unlocked iPhone, the only place you can buy one is from Apple directly. Any other place will most likely sell sim free handsets.

  • Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

    I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
    For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
    Any info appreciated.

  • Universal Dock and Apple Remote

    I have an iMac and iPod Video with a Universal Dock connected to the iMac. When I use my iMac apple remote it also fires up the iPod in the dock. I only want the iMac to respond to the remote. How do I turn off or un-pair the remote from the Universal Dock?

    I did, it did not solve the problem. The remote is paired to my iMac but it still activates my iPod (universal dock).

  • Problem with iPod Touch and Nissan Car Interface

    I have an '09 Nissan Murano with the built in iPod interface. Previous to upgrading to the 3.0 update, the iPod touch and car got along great and everything worked well with the car being able to control the ipod and play music with only the dock connection (not needing to use the headphone jack). However, since the 3.0 update, the car will no longer see the iPod. The iPod shows the Connected to Accessory screen (as it did in the past) however every few seconds, the iPod will flash a quick screen of the iPods normal music screen, then go back to the Connected to Accessory screen. The car just says iPod Not Connected.
    Like I said, it worked perfect before I upgraded to 3.0, and to further that, my brother has his touch still on 2.0 software, and it works fine, leading me to be sure that its a problem with the 3.0 update and not the car. I've seen posts like this with other vehicles, but no one seems to have an answer. Wondering who else is having problems like this and if there is ANY solution (besides rolling back my software).
    The fact that an update disables iPod branded interfaces seems ridiculous to me. Thanks for any help!

    I recently purchased an infiniti FX35 with the ipod integration. After visiting the local apple store "Genius Bar" and speaking on the phone with an "apple expert"; neither the genius bar or the apple expert heard of such an integration option in new cars being sold. They wanted more information from me about how it work rather than them assisting me with my problem.
    Anyway, after alot of experimenting I got my ipod touch 2G running firmware 3.1 to work somewhat consistently.
    Turn off wi-fi on the touch, power off then back on, go the ipod menu and select playlist. Attach the touch to the infiniti supplied cable through the dock connector. Select the ipod option from dash board. Playlist, songs, artists, etc will appear on the dash display and begin playing.

  • How to use ATV2 with iTunes, DAC and Apple remote

    Hello,
    I play my iTunes library through a Wadia i170 dock connected to a Cambridge Audio DacMagic running through a Marantz AV preamp. I bought an ATV2 and I would like to control the music with an iPad using the Apple Remote app.  My ATV is connected to the Marantz via HDMI and i have another HDMI cable running to the TV. Is it possible to do this?
    Thanks!

    If you enable Home Sharing in itunes, on iPad and AppleTV then Remote app will allow you to browse itunes content from the iTunes library and play it back on AppleTV using Airplay.  Alternatively the Remote app can control the AppleTV interface directly with iAppleTV requesting/pulling content from itunes as opposed to Airplay sending/pusihing content to AppleTV to play.
    Not sure where the Wadia dock comes into this.
    Do you dock the iPad with it?
    I'd have thought you'd be wanting to hook up the AppleTV optical out to the DacMagic if it supports Toslink or use HDMI or optical direct to the AV amp.
    Are you trying to run the system 'headless' with TV off when playing audio - if so, recent software has messed things up and not certain if fixed in that absence of an active HDMI connection can disable audio out over optical.

  • Problem with Ipod Touch and new software (2.2.1)

    After upgrading to the 2.2.1 I have been unable to listen to it using my car stereo. It will only recognize my ipod sometimes and when it does a majority of the time there will be no sound at all. On my car stereo it shows my playlists and everything but no sound. I never once had a problem with my ipod or stereo until I did this upgrade. I tried switching out the usb cord but that did not help. I then restored my Ipod. I also tried to wipe out the battery completely and then charge (heard on a different message board that that could possibly help). Still having the problem though. I have an Ipod touch and a Pioneer stereo with the USB cable hook up.

    yeah i'm having the same problem i have a pioneer navigation system and it will not play my ipod touch after upgrading to 2.2 i called apple to try to find a way to downgrade and they never gave me an answer

  • WRT54GC Wireless router problem with iPod touch and Ipad

    Hi
    I have a WRT54GC wireless router and both my ipod touch and ipad can connect to the network. They can both use the internet for like one minute and then the internet becomes very slow, and dies. Network connections are lost and I'm getting messages like 'can't connect to itunes' or 'lost connection with youtube'. The wireless router works fine for the laptops in the house (all windows). In the house where I live in the week (closer to my school) there is another router and i don't have the problem over there, also no problem to connect to my schools wireless network... So I think it's a combination problem of apple products and that router. I've tried a lot, like resetting network configuration, updating firmware, changing from wpa to wep1,... Anyone an idea?
    Thank you
    Bert

    oh and the connection to the router isn't lost.
    Thank you

  • Problems with iPod 5G and xbox 360

    Just recently after updating to the newer versions 1.2.2 and 1.2.3, my xbox 360 no longer recognizes my ipod. This kind of bothers me simply because I wouldn't think it would be very hard to make it possible for my xbox 360 to read my ipod.

    This is really annoying.
    I updated my iPod firmware just the other day - and only because iTunes prompted me to.
    Now I've tried to connect my iPod to my Xbox for the first time and...hmmmm...the ipod doesn't show up.
    After trying various things and wasting a lot of time, I've found this post (thanks guys!). At least now I know what the problem is.
    Come on Apple!!! Judging by the number of sites I found talking about the subject, loads of people with iPods connect them to their Xboxes.

  • HELP! Problems with appstore download and apple id and password

    Mac appstore wont let me download apps. Problem is that appstore doesnt recognize my password. At the same time, appstore alowes me to verifiy my accout (my apple id accout which i use for mac appstore) using the same apple id and password. But when I try to use that pass for downloading apps it wont let me. With the same id i can log on icolud.com, and used it to log on this site also.
    I am using iMac, early 2009, OS Lion and have different itunes and apple id accounts.

    Sign fully out of the store and then back in again.

  • Some problems with Contacts app and Apple iCloud CardDAV sync

    Hi all,
    I've managed to get my iCloud Contacts to sync with Playbook 2.0 Contacts app using the CardDAV account.
    So far, so good, but I'd like to report many small annoyances which make me feel sad.
    1. No clear separation between the accounts. I have the Contacts from two of my Gmail accounts and now from iCloud. There is NO WAY to view just one account, one must see all of them.
    The Messages app is clearly better for separate different accounts.
    2. The sort options are poor. I can sort by First or Last Name, but the presentation is still First Name followed by Last Name. I like the Last Name first. And the sort reverts all the time to First Name. VERY ANNOYING!!!
    3. Related to item #1, no possibility to indicate when the new contact will be created. I presume it will be created on my Gmail account, because it's my primary account, but no mention about it.
    4. Some fields are missing. I presume it's just the limiation of the Contacts app. For example, the Spouse field syncs, but not the Father, Mother or Child fields.
    5. The Groups are synced as empty Contacts with the Name = Group Name.
    6. No advanced sync options, like iCloud -> Playbook only to avoid to screw up my whole Address Book.
    Hope all those annoyances will disappear with time. I understand that some problems with Google Contacts sync are due to Exchange limitations, but I hope full CardDAV support will be added soon. 

    I will figure out to to use Mail, Contacts and Calendar in best possible conditions, don't worry. I use them all the time, so for me it's a vital question, overwise I just sell the Playbook. 
    So far, Contacts suck because of the limitations enumerated in my first post, Messages suck because of the impossibility to select multiple messages at once and Calendar sucks because it doesn't support the Floating Time Zone.
    All iCal users that use and abse this feature understand me
