Apple iPod remote radio: RDS Information in Setting Europe

Hey,
last wednesday I bought that option by an local apple dealer for my Video iPod.
After setting that radio on my Video iPod to "Europe" there aren´t any RDS information; setting back to "USA", it works properly (but only in 0,02 Mhz steps outgoing from XX,x1 / x3 etc. - normaly in united states-).
Has anybody else this bug noticed? Is there a solution to fix that problem?
(please don´t tell me to switch 'USA', - here in Germany I can´t receive Radio stations on XX,x2 etc with that setting)

Just got my Radio Remote yesterday and I also cannot receive RDS on the Europe setting. Apple really needs to go back to work on this product or release an update.
Here is part of an iLounge review:
This is the Radio Remote’s other obvious distinctive feature - support for RDS, a way that broadcasters can send limited text data to radios. RDS text varies from entirely absent to just a station’s name to a real-time display of artist and track names. Useful? A little. Cool? Definitely. But it’s also somewhat unreliable. The 5G iPod’s RDS feature doesn’t pick up all the text shown by our car stereo’s RDS display, and the iPod nano’s RDS seemed to pick up even less text than the 5G’s. (iLounge readers in Europe have already reported odd experiences when using the RDS feature overseas with nano.) From our perspective, this is not a critical part of the Radio Remote’s - or, actually, iPod’s - feature set, but it would be nice if it was more predictable and robust. We’re hoping for improvements in later firmware.

  • HT1947 I lost my apple tv remote.  How can I set up the use of my iphone with the remote app?

    I lost my apple tv remote.  How can I set up the use of my iphone remote app without it?

    The remote app would require home sharing to be enabled and both to be on the same network. If that's not the case then you will need a new remote

  • Lost Apple TV Remote

    I lost my apple tv remote but I want to set up my sell phone to pair with apple tv

    Both would need to be on the same network and home sharing enabled on Apple TV in order to use the remote app on iPhone. If that's not the case you will need a physical remote to set it up.

  • Radio remote: European RDS problem

    Several european users report difficulties in displaying RDS information while using their Radio Remote when set on "Region: Europe".
    Changing the setting to "USA" solves the problem. Unfortunately changing the setting doesn't allow to properly tune some stations (0,2 Mhz step for USA, 0,1 Mhz step for Europe).
    I found out on:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303038
    that the RDS when set on "USA" displays program service name (PS), when set on "Europe" displays radio text (RT).
    To resolve this problem Apple engineers simply have to have RDS in "Europe" mode to display PS instead of RT.
    Unfortunately I seem to be unable to find a way to let Apple know; I've been browsing the support site for 10 minutes now but I seem to be unable to find an e-mail address to send this "suggestion".
    Can someone help me to get this message through to Apple support.
    Thanks for your kind help.

    You might try feeding back via iTunes from the iTunes menu select "Provide iTunes Feedback". A tenuous link perhaps but hopefully they'll pass on the message.

  • Can you set up Remote app to Apple TV without original Apple TV remote?

    I lost my Apple TV remote, so I tried looking up other ways to control my Apple TV. I found the Apple Remote app, but I can't get it to work. The setup information I found indicates that you have to turn on home sharing on the Apple TV, but that can't be done without a remote. Obviously I don't have a remote right now, so I'm trying to find out if there's another way to get my Remote app to work on my Apple TV without the original remote. Can anyone help?

    Can be done. All you need is your iPhone/ Ipad.
    Learn how to set up your Apple TV (3rd generation) using an iOS 7 device.
    With Apple TV software 6.0 or later, you can set up your Apple TV (3rd generation) by transferring the following from your iOS 7 device:
    Wi-Fi network and password
    iTunes Store account
    Language and region format preferences
    System requirements
    To use your iOS device to set up Apple TV, you need the following:
    Apple TV (3rd generation) using Apple TV software 6.0 or later
    One of these iOS devices using iOS 7 or later
    iPhone 4s or later
    iPad (3rd generation or later)
    iPad mini
    iPod touch (5th generation)
    Setting up your Apple TV
    Follow these steps to set up your Apple TV (3rd generation) using your iOS 7 device.
    Connect your Apple TV to your television and power and wait until your Apple TV displays the setup screen.
    Unlock your iOS 7 device and ensure that Bluetooth is enabled. Also ensure that you are connected to the Wi-Fi network you want to use with Apple TV.
    Touch your iOS device to your Apple TV and wait for the prompts to appear on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Enter your Apple ID and password on your iOS device.
    Choose if you want Apple TV to remember your Apple ID password, and if you want Apple TV to send data to Apple.
    This does not change your iOS device preferences.
    Your Apple TV will start the configuration process, including connecting to your Wi-Fi network, activating Apple TV, and setting up your iTunes Store account.
    When complete, your Apple TV is ready to use.
    Troubleshooting tips
    If you encounter an issue setting up your Apple TV using an iOS device, try the following:
    If the Automatic Setup screen doesn't appear when you touch your iOS device to the Apple TV, verify that you:
    Have an Apple TV (3rd generation) using Apple TV software 6.0 or later.
    Use a supported iOS device with iOS 7 or later.
    Note: iPhone 4 and iPad 2 are not supported.
    Verify that your iPhone is unlocked and that Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are on.If the issue persists, press the Sleep/Wake button to lock your iOS device, then press the Home button and slide to unlock and try again.
    While configuring your Apple TV, keep your iOS device within 10 to 15 feet of your Apple TV until the configuration process completes.If you go out of range or the setup doesn't complete, restart your Apple TV by unplugging it from power for a few seconds and then reconnecting it.
    If you are still unable to set up your Apple TV with your iOS device, you can set up your Apple TV with the included remote instead.

  • Apple Ipod nano 1GB - FM Radio?

    Does the Apple Ipod Nano 1GB have an FM radio or not? Thanks

    The nano itself doesn't have a built-in radio selector, remote, etc.; none of the iPods do.
    You can get a radio remote for your iPod for $50 at the Apple Store (this is compatible with nanos and video iPods). See this link for the display page for this product:

  • IPod touch + Apple Dock + remote

    Just dropped by to express rather bitter disappointment at the over-priced Apple dock+remote I just bought. For one thing it comes with no instructions, which would be fine if it 'just worked'. But it didn't. It would only control the volume, I couldn't play/pause or skip tracks.
    Eventually I found a thread on here which stated correctly that the iPod has to be 'on' before you dock it for the remote to work.
    I had read before I bought it that the 'menu' button wouldn't do anything with the iPod, though goodness knows why - it would be handy wouldn't it?
    What wasn't clear is that the next/previous buttons don't do much either. If you choose an album (using the iPod, not the remote of course...) you can skip tracks, but when you get to the end of the album it dumps you back at a menu which you can't control. All you can do then is press play to start the first track of your main playlist, ie the song beginning with 'A'.
    I don't understand why the dock remote is so weirdly crippled, especially when the interface of the iPod itself is so well thought out.
    I do hope this will be addressed with a firmware update at some point.
    Also... why does it only show the album art for the first track of each album and the default icon for the rest? It's a bit crappy.

    This Apple remote requires a dock since this remote uses IR and the iPod does not ha IR capibility,.

  • HT201303 hi just got my new apple ipod touch i need to update my security information other wise it wont let me download apps it says to enter three questions about myself and i get to the third question and it wont let me enter the third question

    hi just got my new apple ipod touch and to download apps it wants to add questions about myself for more sercurity information. i get up to question 3 and it wont let me select a question but it will let me write an answer so i just pressed done and then it says i cant carry on because ive mised out information when it wont let me do a question!

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    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.

  • My apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. can't restore.

    my apple ipod classic 80gb says there is no music - anything on my ipod, but says it only has 37gb free. Then i try and plug it into my pc with iTunes on (i've set it to do not automatically sync devices) but it still freezes every time. the only way to unfreeze it is by detatching the ipod or resetting with menu/centre (until it loads up again, where it immediately unfreezes and comes up with a load of messages saying "cannot read iPod" and when i try and restore it by pressing menu/centre button while it's plugged in, it says "cannot restore as it is being used by another program" or "error 1415". Any ideas how to sort this out? hope i haven't majorly screwed it up. thanks.

    Sorted it out.

  • I brought my first generation Ipod to an apple store today and was informed that the batteries are no longer available??

    I brought my 1st Gen Ipod to an Apple Store today and was informed that batteries for this unit are no longer available. I find this totally unacceptable.
    Is there anyway that I can have the battery for this unit replaced?
    Please advise
    A.Lauro

    There are still several third party service centers out there who offer replacement services for the battery.  Google for "iPod battery replacement."
    Better yet, see if your 1G iPod Nano qualifes under Apple's 1G Nano recall regarding a batch of nanos shipped with bad batteries.  See this article for more details.

  • Apple iPod Universal Dock And Remote

    So If I have the Apple iPod Universal Dock and the Apple Remote And a iPod nano do I have front row?

    So in case anyone at Apple is paying attention:
    1) Offer a package of the Apple Remote, a USB receiver for it, and Front Row together as a bundle for existing Mac users. It is a perfect fit for the Mac mini sitting in my stereo cabinet connected to my TV.
    2) Assuming that Photobooth only works with an iSight camera, then why not offer it as a free download for all customers who already have iSights? Presumably it wouldn't do anyone without an iSight any good - right? It should then be packaged with all iSights as a standard part of the package.
    If you can't do (1), then at least issue an update to Tiger (10.4.3 for example) that includes Front Row built in with the ability to drive it from a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse? Then offer the Apple Remote with a USB receiver later...
    It's so obvious I can't believe it wasn't done today...
