Connect to car, IPOD Classic pauses and will not play

Hello to all,
First of all I am not very good at computer stuff. I used my IPOD Classic for about three months with a car kit and all was fine. All of a sudden it stopped playing. I figured out that the IPOD pauses when it is connected to the wire from the car. I have tried connecting it with the car off, on, radio off, on all with the same result, as soon as the IPOD detects the wire it pauses. My radio will only play the IPOD not control it. Any ideas?? This is driving me mad. I don't understand why it worked for months and then suddenly stopped. Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm having the same problem. I updated my ipod in itunes and now my car's usb deck will not recognize the ipod. It had been working for years without a problem. I emailed kenwood and they said apple pushed out an update that is causing compatibility issues with car decks. They suggested a "soft reset" which did nothing. Kenwood told me to contact Apple and Apple wants me to pay for support. Guess I'll surf around this forum till I find a way to revert back to an older version of the ipod software.
Here's the thread from kenwood:
Dear Mr. Lapteff,
Thank you for contacting Kenwood USA Corporation. We value you as a Kenwood customer and appreciate the opportunity to be of assistance.
I understand you are having an issue with playing back your Ipod. If you recently updated your Ipod to the newer iOS4 software version we recommend attempting to soft reset the Ipod and attempt reconnecting to your head unit. The available updates from Apple have caused some issues with connectivity. For information on resetting your Ipod we recommend visiting www.apple.com.
Please feel free to contact us again with any additional questions.

Subject: Ipod won't play via usb
Body: After working perfectly for years, my Ipod will not play on my KDC-MP342U for the last 2 weeks. The KDC-MP342U just flashes, "reading" but never syncs. I tried resetting and restoring my Ipod, but I still can't get it to work on my deck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Videos immediately go to pause and will not play

Recently my iPad has stopped playing video. Any video from the net or a service like Netflix comes up and the progress bar indicates downloading, but the player immediately goes to pause every time play is pressed and won't resume. Anybody solve this one before?

Hello SeaDragon47.
The easiest solution to the "not waking from sleep" issue is to simply plug the printers directly into the wall outlet. Something about the manner in which surge protectors/power strips handle electricity doesn't sit quite right when electronics want to wake up.
Another possibility is to upgrade the firmware on the printers. Here is the latest firmware for the Officejet 4620. The Photosmart does not appear to have upgradable firmware.
Yet another suggestion is to set static IP addresses for the printer(s). I am not sure why but having a static IP set seems to keep the printer from going into sleep mode in the first place.
Let me know if this helps. Have a lovely day.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock.

My 30-pin dock is connected to my lightning to 30-pin connector which is connected to my iPod touch 5g. But my iPod will only charge, and will not play music through my dock, only through the iPod's internal speaker. Help please!

Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

I have ipod classic 5gen it will not sync with windows the error message says ipod can not sync as required file missing wht to do???

Although you used the new USB 3.0 port, the actual connection speed is still USB2.0, as the iPod Dock connector, does not have the 10 times faster USB3.0 signal pins, the connection speed is still 480Mbits/s
I assumed that you have tried the other USB 2.0 port to no success..
Can you do the iPod Disk diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.
Have a nice day!

My ipod is not recognised by my computer and will not play at all

My Ipod is jammed, it will not play on its dock or with ear phones. It just says do not disconnect. I tried to plug it into my computer but Itunes will not pick it up. It is being recognised by windows though. I don't know how to solve this problem as it just won't do anything!! Any help or advice greatly appreiciated!

Here's an idea. Switch the hold switch on, then off. Now, hold menu and select untill you see the apple logo, (it should only take 6-10 seconds but if you find nothing happens after a minute, let go).

The document shows in the printer viewer, but it is paused and will not print.

Hi, when ever I try to print anything, the doc is in the viewer but is always paused, and will not print. I've tried to restart, but it will not do it.
Any advice?

Hi, are you referring to a problem in trying to print via the ePrint service e.g.. sending an email to your printer's email address, or printing directly from your PC/laptop?

OS X Mavericks download has paused and will not restart. How can I get it to restart?

OS X Mavericks download has paused and will not restart. How can I get it to restart?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, see if the download is paused and if you can resume it. To do so, open the Mac App Store, go to Purchases and press "Resume" next to OS X Mavericks.
If the download does not carry on, I would recommend you to restart and start the download all over again.

My book download has paused and will not download

Trying to download a book to my iPad 1 and it has paused and will not restart. I have since successfully downloaded another book ( sample) and also it's downloaded too my phone- I cannot delete the partial download - or sync from my iMac
Any thoughts?
many thanks

Hello Louise,
I would be eager to download a book I purchased as well. I found a couple of resources that might help with downloading this purchase.
First, I recommend checking to see if the download was interrupted. You can use the steps in this article:
iTunes: How to resume interrupted iTunes Store downloads
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1725
If the book does not download after following the steps in that article, I recommend trying to download the book from the list of past purchases. As long as you are signed in with the same Apple ID you used to purchase the book, you will not be charged again. You can find the steps to do this in the following article:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If you are still not able to download the book, I recommend reporting this issue to the iTunes Store:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My ipod classic 5th generation is not playing any kind of audio. i tried resetting it and i used multiple speakers/ear buds. nothing worked. do you have any other suggestions?

My ipod classic (5th generation) is not playing any audio. when i play a song the little picture of the album cover comes up and the seconds clock and the blue line come up and change/move, but there is no sound. i have tried multiple speakers/ear buds and i have tried to reset it but notheing worked.
What should i do?

Assuming that you actually have the volume turned up (you don't say that you have, after all), make sure that the Volume Limit is not turned all the way down.
Look in the Settings/Volume Limit menu. The small arrow controls the volume as well.

Bought a ipod nano 6th and is not playing for more than 2 min?

bought a ipod nano 6th and is not playing for more than 2 min?

The most likely problem is that the headset is not inserted fully. When you insert the headset, you should feel and hear a "Click" to let you know it is inserted all the way.
The problem is that if it is not inserted all the way, the nano does not detect it. If it is not detected, it will pause playback when the screen goes dark. This is to keep your battery from draining when there is nothing connected to listen to the music.

Hi Def video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly in FCPX

I have the latest version of Final Cut Pro X only an older, but fully compatible IMac, and have a new Panasonic AG-Hmc 40P video camera. I have shot video on my Gro Prop Hero 2 and the playback of the unedited video is perfect, but as I scroll through the unedited footage shoot by the Panasonic, the video is jumpy and will not play back smoothly. The video plays perfectly on the the camera in play back mode, but in FCPX it is junk.
Do I have an incorrect setting that is doing this? I adjusted the palynack in preference but that made no difference. I need help?

FYI...
There's a hidden feature in Mac OS X Lion that you can use to convert your video footage to Apple ProRes with very little effort and to the right specifications...
Bring your video footage into your desktop or hard drive and then select all of them, and then right-right click on one of them to bring up the options menu... select ENCODE SELECTED VIDEO FILES. Mac OS X will take care of the rest for you automatically.
If this option doesn't show up, make sure to install those codecs I recommendad earlier...
