Accessory for playing IPod in car and best protective case?

I am about to purchase the 80gb Ipod classic. What would you recommend as the best accessory to play and charge my IPod in the car and also the best clear protective case?
I noticed at Walmart that Belkin sells the car accessory and they have the belkin remix acrylic case.
The Rhinoskin cases also looks very nice.
Any suggestions?

horatio - are you playing from your headphone jack into the aux input? if so, consider buying a real dock to make use of the far-superior line out audio feed from the docking connector. DLO makes a car dock called a "transpod" that has both line out and fm modulator. You can ignore the fm modulator part and plug the line out to your aux jack and get great sound.
I do that in my truck and it provides a nice, FAT sound to the head unit.

What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro

What is the best protective case for 2011 13" Macbook Pro (that can withstand an active 4 year old :). My 4 year old plays with the teaching apps on my iPhone 4 in the otterbox case and its great - the bulkiness of the otterbox not an issue and I love being able to give the phone to him and feel completely comforatable. I would love to find something to protect my Macbook Pror. Thanks for any help!!

I would definitely go for a Hardsheel or a Perforated Hardshell Case

What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s?

What is the best protective case for the iPhone 4s? If I drop my phone I don't want it to crack or break. How protective is the Gorrila Glass?

I am using the Otterbox Defender, and it's a great case.
Gorilla glass is a glass applied to phones (not the iPhone, it does not use Corning branded glass), but the iPhone screen is pretty good against scratches.

Playing music in car and using phone

Sorry if this thread exists, I was not able to find it
Currently using AUX for iphone music playback in my car but have to unplug it when using the phone.
What's the best way for me to be able to play music in the car and be able to use the phone without having to unplug it everytime?
If I get a BT headset can I plug iphone to AUX and llisten to music and answer a call?
so confused....

Michael, i've heard different experiences with this. The bluetooth idea may work or may not. That just depends on whether the iPhone still recognizes your AUX line as the "headphones". In that case, it won't work.
See if you have a friend with bluetooth earpiece that you can borrow and try this out.
Perhaps some 3rd party company like Belkin or someone else will come up with a solution to this. Only time will tell. And the iPhone economy will grow exponentially

How to revert to older software to play ipod in car stereo

I have a Classic I-pod with software version 3.1.1. The manual for my Pioneer DEH-P310UB car stereo says it will play the Classic I-pod version 1.1.2. Can I revert my I-pod software back to 1.1.2 in order to play it in the car? I'm going on a long road trip and wish to play this I-pod on the road.

Yes I do have a Classic, it's not a nano, it doesn't take photos, and I got it for Christmas 2004.
The iPod classic was not even released until October 2007.
The iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) and iPod with color display do not take photos but can display photos.
it tells me the software is 3.1.1
Yes, because the iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) uses firmware 3.1.1. The iPod classic (120 GB iPod) uses version 2.
The iPod classic (80GB & 160GB) use version 1.1.2.
Is it possible to revert to 1.1.2?
Possibly but the manual you are reading is not referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod Photo (4th gen).
It is referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod classic (which are only the 80GB/160GB models).
If your iPod does not have a 80/160/120Gb drive, it is not an iPod classic. It is a regular iPod.

How do I create separate playlists for two ipods/one library and them sync them?

I have an older classic ipod, my daughter has an older nano. I got new laptop and have managed to sync my ipod and ipad with success, as well as move my library from old pc to new laptop. Now I am trying to update and sync my daughter's ipod. It says that it is synced but nothing changes. I believe I had set up two different libraries on the old pc, and so certain cds had been copied into her library. I can't find them in the earlier mentioned transfered library. That's not a big deal, as I can just use those cds to add them back in later (more work though). I've read older community posts on my issue, but any article links on how-to are too old, I guess. I like the idea of using just one library and creating playlists for each ipod to sync to, but cannot figure out how to do this. Also, do I need to restore my daughter's ipod to get the ball rolling? She's taken a couple of videos she likes and I'm not sure I want to lose it in the restore. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Hey puckaluck8,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The following article provides different methods for managing multiple devices with one computer:

You mentioned syncing separate playlists, which is definitely a good method. The other option you may want to consider is called "Manually Syncing", which you can read about here:

Best protective cases for bare internal hard disks used with drive dock?

I've been noticing that my external, powered hard drive enclosures are taking too much space; plus I think I can save money by plugging internal hard disks into a drive dock such as http://www.newertech.com/products/voyagerq.php , then connecting that via FireWire 800 to my Mac Pro.
However, I don't want to leave them exposed when not active. I've searched around and found several options like silicone holders and WiebeTech's VHS-esque boxes, but not a really thorough roundup of protective cases.
Does anyone have any firsthand experience or recommendations for protective cases?

Thanks for the Google Base link, but it doesn't seem to work any more.
I did manage to find some cases from a company called Technology Directions in Melburne, Australia.
I needed something that would sit well on a shelf, but also offer good durability and anti-static protection. I also have some 2.5" drives from notebooks that no longer work, and some 3.5" drives that won't fit into my current system at the same time.
I saw some good reviews, so I ordered a 10-pack and they arrived in under a week, with very reasonable shipping. They came with labels and foam padding (which I only needed for some of the drives). I now have 10 cases holding 14 drives, in protected bliss, on the shelf. I can read the label and instantly see which drive I need, instead of peering into anti-static bags. Highly recommended.

What's the best protective case?

I'm looking for a protective case for my MacBook Pro. I've seen positive and negative reviews on the Speck See Thru case and was wondering if they have done anything recently to fix the problems (scratching, filing down certain areas, etc.)? Also, does anyone know anything about the Techshell case? I understand that's similar but is a smoother top than the Speck (without the side/top grooves).
I'd like to purchase one soon, any perspective would be helpful.

The case offering best protection is a MacTruck

Does the new 4th gen ipod touch come with a protective case?

Also, does it include any other accessories, like a screen protector?

No, it does not come with a case or a screen protector. Not from Apple, anyway. There may be a store somewhere that is offering them as a combo...you know...buy an iPod Touch and we'll throw in this screen protector and a case for free. Or for some price. In fact, I have been searching the web for a case for my iPod Touch 4th generation. There are many, many cases and things for the first, second and third generation iPod Touchs, but nothing for the 4th generation. It is too new. Not Apple's fault. It only came out a few weeks ago. Companies will be selling cases for them soon, I'm sure. I purchased a case for the iPhone 4th generation. The two 4th generation units (iPod Touch and iPhone) are very, very close in size. The only difference is the height. I can tell you that the case does not quite fit. The iPod Touch slides a bit inside the case. Depending on what kind of case you want to buy, it might not matter.
As for the protective screens, yes they are for sale for the 4th generation iPod Touch. Do a search on the web (Google, Bing, Yahoo, whatever) and you will find them. I purchased some from Amazon.com. They have not come yet. In fact, I just received notification that they were shipped today. But these protective screens are just for the 4th generation iPod Touch--they have holes where the camera and the power button are. I can't tell you how good they are yet. They were 3 for about ten dollars. I could have purchased less screens, but the price per screen was higher, obviously.
Good luck, have fun and enjoy your 4th generation iPod Touch!

What is the best protective case that not expensive

i have just got an iphone 5s and i need an all over protective case as i am very clumsy. one factor that i need to consider is i cant spend loads on one. any suggestions???????

And, as a bonus, makes theft of the phone extremely difficult.

I cant shuffle tracks in playlists like before on latest itunes and when playing ipod through car stereo it will only placks in the 'correct'order - even if i select shuffle on the ipod itself.

i mostly use my ipod in a car system through the oe radio (audi a4) - if you connect an ipod and play tracks, evene when setting songs to shuffle it stil plays in the correct order.
in the past i have made and shuffled playlists then they played fine. since 'upgrading' to the latest itunes it does not now let me do this. you can shuffle tracks but it does not physically re-list the tracks like it used to.
any help on this woulod be greatly appreciated!
thanks

Read the car user manual or contact the car dealership.

Playing iPod through car stereo

Hi,
It plays just fine except it won't shuffle songs, and the battery drains when the car is off. The iPod needs to be ejected when the battery is down, the car started and the iPod reconnected for it to work (except it still won't shuffle).
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer
Marifran

It sounds like the car stereo to me. Try getting one of those wireless transmiteras for the radio and see it if is still doing the volume jumps. If not then it is your stereo and if so them it is the iPod.
