Can I Connect an iPod Nano to Logitech Z-680 surround sound system?

I want to know if I can connect my  iPod Nano 16GB to my Logitech Z-680 Surround Sound System.  I already connect my MacBook to the system by plugging into the three plugs in the back of the controller then those three plugs merge into one plug which I then plug into the headphone jack on the side of my MacBook.  Since the battery life of my MacBook is 2 hours, at best, Id like to use my iPod to play music.  I tried plugging in the plug that I use for connecting my MacBook into the headphone jack of my iPod but I could not get any sound.  The single plug seemed a bit small for the iPod.  There are, also, two other jacks on the Logitech Z-680 controller, which are located on the front of the controller.  One is for headphones and the other I am not sure.  It has a musical note symbol above it.  I have never used that jack before.  Any suggestions/guidance is greatly appreciated.

This video guide should explain it:

I cannot see the video where I am right now, hopefully this helps. Unfortunately it's quite busy and difficult to answer your questions with the right research.

  • I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1.

    I can't connect my iPod nano 6th gen to iTunes 11.1. It keeps saying 'it could not be identified properly". I've tried all the steps on troubleshooting page but nothing's successful. Anybody got some help?

    I found I had the same problem so I uninstalled iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Apple Application Support and then redownloaded the latest version of iTunes which reinstalled everything I uninstalled and I was able to sync my 1st Gen iPad and my 3rd Generation Nano with iTunes 11.1

  • Can I connect my Ipod Nano to my sound system with amplifier

    Is it possible to connect my Ipod nano to my sound system which has an amplifier. If so any problem will occur to my ipod nano.

    The usual way of doing this is to buy the universal dock, then use the line out jack on the dock to connect to your amp via a cable that has a mini jack (like the one on your headphones) at one end and 2 RCA phono plugs at the other end (to connect to line in sockets on your amp).
    You can do this direct from the headphone socket on the iPod instead of buying the dock, but personally I don't think the sound quality is as good this way.

  • I don't have a PC or Mac. I have an iPad with iTunes and music. Can I connect my iPod nano to my iPad and sync music to my iPod?

    Can I sync music from my iPad to my iPod?

    If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.

  • I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID

    Hi, I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID. I'm using Windows, BTW, sorry!

    Search your email for the word Logic (and set the search to All) and you should find the receipt (so long as you didn't delete it)
    Other than that.. simply contact Apple directly and ask.. Make sure you have your transaction details ready for them as they will need it...

  • Can I sync my ipod nano with my second computer/ netbook while travelling?

    Looking for some advice on how to connect my IPod nano with my second computer while travelling. That's what happened: I have my iTunes library on my computer at home and can sync my IPod nano (6 th generation, replaced onyl recently) with that library. While I was travelling and wanted to use my IPod I received an error message asking me to connect the IPod with iTunes in order to recover/restore (sorry, the message apeared in German, so I do not know the exact wording in English) . As I only had my second computer - a small netbook - with me, I downloaded iTunes and connected the iPod - only to receive the message that this Ipod would sync with another computer (sure!) and would I want to sync it with this iTunes library instead now? (Of course not, I did not dare because that library was empty!). So there I was with my computer with iTunes library at home and an iPod stuck in recovery mode and not doing a thing during my vacation. Any suggestions? If I have to take my great big workstation with me to get the iPod running again, I might just as well leave the iPod immobile at home. (;-)

    On your home computer connect your Nano, click on the name in iTunes, move right to the Summary tab then tick the box that says Manually Manage Music. You will now have to er, manually drag your music to your iPod, and manually eject it when done, but you will be able to add music from two different computers.

  • TS1363 on connecting my ipod nano it is recognised by my computor but not in i.tunes?

    For some reason when connecting my ipod nano to my computor, it is recognised by my computor, but not by itunes. I have followed the procedures
    under the apple help , troubleshooting etc.which did not resolve the issue. Norton security have investigated the problem which included deleting the program
    which made no difference.I can only assume the problem is a faulty ipod ir a problem with I tunes. Any ideas please.

    Which procedures or Apple support documents have you already looked at?  It would help us narrow down what other possible solutions/troubleshooting to offer.

  • Is it possible to find the serial of the last connected device (iPod Nano) in itunes?

    Is it possible to find the serial of the last connected device (iPod Nano) in itunes? Was stolen, trying to get info on my device.

    iTunes will only show the serial number for iOS devices backed up using iTunes (and the iPod nano is not an iOS device). For alternative ways to find the serial number, see:
    On your iPod packaging
    If you still have the original packaging for your iPod, you can find your serial number on the barcode label that's affixed to the packaging.
    On your iPod invoice or receipt
    Some retailers may include the serial number of your iPod on the receipt.
    Online at My Support Profile
    If you used your Apple ID to register or purchase your iPod, you may find the serial number listed in My Support Profile (available in the United States and Canada). Log in with your Apple ID and find your iPod in the My Products box on the main page:
    From iPod: How to find the serial number.

  • Computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano

    Hello,
    my computer is crashing (freeze) when connecting my iPod Nano. I have a Pentium IV with windows XP Pro. Can anybody help me please.

    This came from another thread, but worked for me.  Problem is with newest iTunes 4.62.  Unistall iTunes, as well as its helper programs (Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Divice Support, and Apple Software Update).  Reboot, and reinstall iTunes.  It will reinstall all the other ones and you should be able to connect your nano.  Good luck.
