BMW iPod adapter: Problems after 1.2 update

I have the BMW iPod adapter, my pre Sept 5G 30GB iPod, will skip, if the radio is turned off while listening to the iPod.
Then when you turn the radio back on or start the car, it skips
It will play for a second the silence, then play then silence.
The only way to get it to play correctly again is to turn the radio on and of 3-4 times, or unplug the iPod and plug it back in.
This started after the 1.2 update.
Anyone else have this problem?
Steve

Hey, Steve - You're not alone. I also have a 5G 30 Gb video iPod (first wave), and it's been skipping in my BMW since it was updated to firmware version 1.2. I only updated to version 1.2 because iTunes 7 wouldn't copy certain podcasts without the update. Glad to see I'm not alone, anyway.
I've found that selecting another playlist, and then going back to the original, stops the skipping. It was working fairly well before the update, although it would occasionally weird out after fast forwarding.
Have you tried a full reset - wiping your iPod out, and then reloading everything? I haven't had time to try that, yet. I suspect there might be some artifact on the iPod that's not compatible with 1.2, and might be corrected after a full reset & reload. Also, I wonder if there's any way to update the BMW's iPod adapter?
What is the best way to report this apparent bug to Apple?
Thanks,
Tim
I have a 1st Gen 5G 30GB iPod. After the 1.2 update,
if I am listening in my car, using the BMW iPod
adapter, and shut the radio off, or turn the car off,
when I turn the radio back on the music skips. It
plays 1 sec, skips 1sec and on and on.
I have to turn the radio off and on 3 or 4 times for
the iPod to start playing the songs again without
skipping.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Thanks,
Steve

  • BMW car adapter problems with new iPOD nano

    Hi,
    I recently swapped my iPOD nano to the new model. I used the old one as "CD-changer" in my BMW 3-series with the original Apple BMW iPod Adapter.
    Worked really great.
    With the new iPOD nano the interface does not work any more properly:
    - the iPOD is not turned off when the car radio is swtiched off.
    - the iPOD is not charged any more through the interface
    - once connected through the interface, the display is turned on (full white) and remains on! You could use it as a flashlight. The batteries are empty through this after max. 3 hours.
    Means: If you forget to switch off the iPOD manually after the journey, it will be dead when you come back.
    I updated already to latest firmware 1.0.2, no diference.
    Apple has no contact to call.
    BMW does not know anything and cannot help.
    Anyone an idea whom to contact or how to overcome?
    Thank you,
    JJer

    Mine finally got fixed at the MINI dealership! At first they kept telling me to update my ipod firmware but 2 firmware updates later (I'm up to 1.1 now) it still did not work). I finally convinced them to take a look at it. They were able to reproduce the same thing I saw, where my ipod worked on their cars, and their ipods worked on my car. That seemed to show that the connector and cables were ok, but they ordered a whole extra kit anyway just to try it out. After they got the new kit, they found out that though the cables were ok, they had to replace the ipod "interface/module (hw v3.0/sw v3.0)" to get it to work. Now my ipod finally works in my car and I get the MINI logo and everything!
    You guys may want to check with your respective dealerships or whoever installed the adapter to see if you may have the same issue.

  • 30Gb 5G iPod - HD clicks after 1.2 update

    Anyboy else experiencing this?
    There are 2 audible clicks coming from the HD whenever I press play after pausing playback.
    I have never noticed this before the 1.2 update. I bought this iPod back in March.

  • Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

    Hi all,
    After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
    I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
    Here's the problem in detail:
    When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
    Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
    I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
    I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
    As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
    If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.

  • IPod Nano Second Generation and Factory BMW iPod Adapter

    I am considering either an iPod Nano Second Generation or an iPod Mini to put in my 2008 BMW, since I have the BMW iPod adapter.
    I have noticed that the iPod Minis are a lot cheaper than the second generation Nanos.
    Is the Second Generation Nano a good fit for the BMW or should I go with a Mini? Thanks!

    I take it you are looking to buy a used iPod, since neither of these models is currently available as a new item.
    I'd go with the Nano as it does not have a physical hard drive like the Mini has.

  • Can anyone help me with iPod/iTunes syncing problems after recent software update?

    Hi there,
    I wonder if anyone can help me.  Last week I updated my iPod to the latest software (8.2).  Today I deleted some albums from iTunes and added a few others.  I also made some changes to a few of my playlists.  I then synched iTunes and my iPod.  However the synching has not worked. 
    When I connect my iPod, it shows up in iTunes pretty instantly.  When I click on sync, I can see in iTunes that it is syncing and also on my iPod, but the changes do not appear on my iPod afterwards.  Also, after the first syncing attempt, I lost two-thirds of my album cover art.  So, I lost covert art, but no other changes were made.  The albums I deleted from iTunes are still on my iPod and the ones I added to iTunes are not on my iPod. 
    I have looked at the music on my iPod while connected to iTunes.   I can see the songs/albums I have added are there, but they appear in grey and have a doted circle (to the left) next to them.  This shows that they have not synched (I guess). 
    I have already restarted my McBook Pro and iPod a few times.  I synched my iPod with iTunes after every restart, but it has not made any difference.  I also deleted the music I added to iTunes and added it again.  I synched iTunes and my iPod after this, but it has made no difference. 
    I would appreciate any suggestions. 
    Many thanks
    Summary: 
    Updated iPod to iOS 8.2. 
    Made changes in iTunes i.e. delete and added music
    iTunes and iPod show they are synching, but changes to not appear on iPod. 
    Also lost cover art on iPod after synching. 
    Products:
    iPod Touch, latest generation
    iTunes 12.1.0.50
    MackBok Pro OS X Mavericks (10.9)

    Thank you for your reply.  I followed your suggestion and restored my iPod to its factory settings.  I then restored it from a backup file.  All the problems have been resolved.  Quite incredible that I had to go through that process to fix it.  I hope Apple will find a solution to the iTunes problem soon. 

  • I can't get my computer to recognize my iPod 4 Touch after a software update.

    I can't get my computer to recognize my iPod 4 touch after I do a software update.  The iPod goes into restore mode and the the computer won't recognize the iPod no matter what USB port I'm pluged into, or if I reboot the iPod, the computer, or iTunes. 

    Please don't get fancy with the font.  It's hard to read.

  • ITunes/iPod/USB problem after installing AVG 8.0 Antivirus

    Hi,
    I have recently installed AVG 8.0 as a replacement to my pevious Antivirus software. I now seem to have some kind of a problem with 'disappearing' USB attached storage.
    The first problem I had, was that my Walkman was no longer recognised. I resolved this by uninstalling it in 'Device Manager' and then running 'Add Hardware'. Windows successfully found the new hardware and installed it OK. My big problem is that the same thing is happening to my three iPods (Shuffle, Touch and 30Gb Video). When I connect them, iTunes detects them, opens and then seems to perform the usual software version check OK. However, if I then try to tranfer a track to them, or delete a track, I get the message 'Disk not found'. I have updated iTunes to 8.01, but that hasn't resolved the problem. I have also tried uninstalling the iPods and then letting Windows install them again. This doesn't resolve the issue either. The iPods have the most current software update loaded onto each of them. My Windows XP Home is running SP3 and all of the current Critical Updates. There is no other unexpected behaviour by the PC.
    I have searched around and there is talk of some kind of (possible) AVG 8.0 related problem, but I can't find a resolution. Please can anyone help. Thanks in advance.
    Ian

    I have exactly the same problem since downloading the upgrade earlier today. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled to try to fix it but all I keep getting after it has nearly completed loading (which takes a frustrating amount of time each time) is a repeat instruction to re-boot in order to complete the configuration and I've had enough of the endless 'loop' that you refer to. It worked fine before the upgrade but I can't go back!

  • Anyone experiencing screen resolution problems after latest Mavericks Update?

    Anyone got a blurred monitor after the latest Mavericks Update?
    I am running  Mavericks 10.9.2 on a Mini Mac with a Logic TV/Monitor. Since the latest Mavericks update I no longer have the option in settings to scale to 1600 x900. Since this gives the best picture on my monitor I now have either a blurred screen with large text or a blurred screen with very tiny text. No other options that give a 'normal' display seem available now, after allowing the 'Update'. The update claims to be addressing faults on the MacBook display, which it may well do, but it has also apparently screwed up Mac Mini screen resolution Options for some of us.
    I have reverted back to 10.9.2 and turned off automatic updates, but I can't stay that way indefinitely.
    I've tried to find an e-mail address or phone number to log my complaint to Apple but to no avail. (I guess they would otherwise be inundated with customer complaints so keep that kind of information under wrapps). Anyone got any ideas?

    I'm not having any problems with dual DVI connected Samsung 21.5" monitors in 10.9.3
    What connection (adapter, cable, etc.) are you using..?

  • Network problem after new OSX update download

    Greetings!
    I've had a new (late 06) Intel 24" iMac networked wirelessly to my older iMac/cable modem/D-Link router very successfully since October. No problems and seamless set-up through the D-Link online wizard software.
    Saturday I noticed an OSX upgrade to 10.4.8 (211mg) and went ahead and did the download on the wireless (Intel) iMac.
    Upon restart, however, I have not been able to reconnect to my network. Airport is ON, but choosing my network name returns an error message. I have also attempted to reboot both cable modem and router, and reentered the D-Link wizard to both doublecheck the old network, and set up a new network, but saving these settings seems to fail by not recognizing the device, the router.
    One of the error messages (on the wireless iMac) claims that my "settings have been changed by another application" (or to that effect) but does not give any clue as to how to determine what or where.
    Also, since attempting to start from scrtch with the router, I no longer seem to get a full signal from the airport -- in Internet Connect, I no longer see a nice row of blue signal lights.
    As you may be able to tell, I am new to networking, and the D-Link setup had helped make it simple -- tht is, I bumbled my way through it and was pleased with how well it worked. Now, after the OS update, not having the network is annoying -- and potentilly disastrous, as I need this machine online by Saturday.
    Anyone able to give me a gentle hand, or nudge in the right direction?
    Thanks in advance!
    Bill
    PS- Mac user since 1991! Wireless network user since only late October!

    Hi again,
    Sorry, BDAqua, I didn't see your note. I don't quite understand the last line of your suggestion -- a number greater than the number of CPUs? Not sure what you mean...
    Phil, thanks for your note, too.
    I believe the answer to your first question is 802.11g -- this is what it was set to.
    After trying again to connect, using my old passwords, I was able to see the blue signal strength barss, and the Airport icon flashed on and off a few times, but ultimately the connection attempt failed again every time I tried it.
    At this point, I'm no longer confident that my router is sending out a recognizable signal -- is this possible?
    Also, in the dialog box in which available networks are usually shown (which has not happened since my original connection in October), today I was faced with a choice I hadn't seen before: 2WIRE736 -- is this likely to be someone else's network (a neighbor's)? I was wondering -- I'd never seen that one before. However, my own network names do not show up for choosing, and when I use Internet Connect to request them (and add WPA Personal and passwords), the connection appears to fail immediately.
    At this point, should I attempt an OSX reinstall? Or has something I described made some sense for you?
    Again, still very appreciative of all your help and patience with my ignorance.
    Bill

  • Xfce shortcut problems after today's updates

    Xfce shortcuts defined in keyboard settings doesn't work at all, even the default ones like alt+f2. They were still working in the morning, but they stopped after today's updates. I think it has something to do with kbd package, but I can't honestly say.
    Anyone experiencing something similar?

    Most probably you need to logof, go into the console and wipe anything related to xfce on your home folder and start xfce again. Its a pain to get everything as you want again but at least you avoid problems like the one you have now.
    You may also see a problem with the icons, just pull tango-icon-theme and all will be well.

  • Printing problems after installing Security Update 2015-002

    After installing Security Update 2015-002 on three separate computers on two different WiFi networks, printers on the network are losing their connections to the computers that can print to them. We have experienced this on a network running a Canon printer and an HP printer - both have disappeared on the network although the printer suggests it is still connected to the network. The same thing has happened on a separate network I manage with a single HP printer on that network. I have tried removing the printers, resetting the printers etc. Nothing is working. I can get one print out of a printer when I turn the printer off and then on. Three minutes later the printer is no longer connected to the computer - although still connected to the network. Please Help.

    I think I have figured out that it is in fact the Apple Extreme Base Station that is losing the printer. It is very odd because the printer is connected to the Wifi. My computer is connected to the WiFi and connecting to the internet. The Router for the internet can see the printer. An Apple Extreme is then connected via a network cable in Bridge mode to the router. When I turned the power off the The Apple Extreme and then restored power it all worked. was still working this morning, but again this afternoon I needed to reboot Apple Extreme. It is quite strange that this is happening on two different Networks in different parts of the country at the same time. Maybe the Security Update is somehow affecting/blocking communication with the printer? I just don't know enough. These networks have been up and running with the same printers and computers for years with zero problems - all of a sudden we have the same problem on both Networks.
    Any help will be very much appreciated.

  • Airport Problems after "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-001" (1.0)?

    I recently installed the update and have been unable to connect to my wireless network at home ever since. The airport detects my router and asks if I would like to join the network, but after I click yes, it says "there's an error in connecting", and thus no connection is made.
    I can, however, get internet connection through ethernet from my router.
    I can't be totally sure the update is the cause of the problem, but I haven't downloaded or installed anything else recently, and all other pc's wireless connections work fine with my router. I also haven't tried connecting through other wireless networks, so I'm not sure if the problem is exclusive to my router.
    Has anyone else had similar problems after the update?
    Also, does anyone know the default settings for the airport? I'm wondering maybe I have altered settings that's causing this problem.
    Any help is greatly appreciated

    I have the same problem but I have not found a fix.
