I have a 5G Ipod, and my computer speakers have a USB Port on the external Volume Controls. I wanted to know if i could use my Computer Jack to connect my Ipod to that USB hub and to have it play through the speakers. These are my speakers

Please get back to me

  • Connect an ipod to external speakers and amplifer

    how can i connect an ipod to external speakers and amplifer

    Rex,
    Since the toslink is optical, the 3.5mm adapter will not work for you as it is only ment as a conversion to a mini-toslink cable. Your first option of using the DAC, is in my opinion the best and perhaps only way to get audio out without going to a fancy amp or tuner first.
    One option that I'm considering is the Bose Solo TV sound system. It might set you back about 4-Grant's, but I generally enjoy the sound of bose for most music/tv/movie purposes; and it has a direct optical audio input that you can run either from your tv or your ATV. Whatever audio you're sending to your TV via the HDMI, should go to these speakers through your HDTV's toslink output with equal digital clarity.
    I've read a few other posts on the apple discussion forum which lead me to believe that the optical output of the ATV might not work so well after the 5.2 update... so whatever I do, it won't be JUST for use with the ATV.

  • How do I listen to the songs on my iPod through  computer speakers?

    Ok. I give up.
    I don't understand how this iPod Shuffle works.
    I got it a few months ago, and copied three or four Brian Eno albums onto it (46 songs to be exact).
    I can listen to the songs on the iPod when I am using it with the earphones, but when I plug it into the computer, it says something about "some of the items in the library were not copied to the iPod because they could not be found." (Meaning none of the songs were copied.)
    I don't understand what it's trying to do.
    The songs were already on the iPod. Why is it trying to "copy" them on to it?
    And if I unplug the iPod from the computer and play it through the headphones, the songs are still there.
    Could somebody please help me?
    I just want to be able to listen to the songs that are on my iPod through my computer speakers. How on earth do I do that?!!

    I have the syncing option unchecked, that is why I do not understand why it is trying to sync.
    I am also trying to play songs off my iPod via iTunes.
    I also don't understand why I need to have the same songs on my PC if they are on the Shuffle. My songs are on my external hard drive... which I don't always have turned on, or with me for that matter. I certainly don't want to be hauling a hard drive around with me wherever I travel to. I want to be able to copy a small number of my favourite songs onto the Shuffle so I can carry the Shuffle and the laptop around with me and listen to them.
    I need to be portable!!!

  • Connect apple tv to computer speakers.

    Hello,
    What can I use to connect the apple tv to computer speakers? I know it has digital output but speakers only have 3.5 m jack input.
    Is there any cable that will make this possible?

    See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18084600#18084600. In other words, the answer appears to be no unless you're willing to live with some serious compromises.

  • Problems with connecting my ipod to computer

    Please, i need help. I had my ipod and itunes running fine on a windows xp computer service pack 2 and last weekend i got a new computer. However, i simply transferred my old hardrives into the new computer. The only thing that changed was the letter of the drive. Instead of being E: drive it is now an F: drive.
    The problem i am having is that i get an error message everytime i connect my ipod to the new computer and load up itunes It says "the software required for communicating with the ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes..."
    So when i try to reinstall itunes i get error 1324 "the path ipod updater 20006-06-28 contains an invalid character."
    I've tried downloading itunes from the website and when it tries to install i get "ipodservice.resources is not a valid short file name."
    So, i can't uninstall itunes or ipod, i've cleaned up my computer for any remnants of files in the system, and i've checked the registry to make sure no files were still being directed towards the E: drive.
    Itunes right now works fine. The only problem is that my ipod doesn't update any music or properly connect with itunes.
    I've run out of options and need help. Also, if there is a better forum to post this in please tell me. thanks.

  • Connecting my iPod to to Speakers

    I was hoping to get an iPod speaker system for my iPod this Christmas. I was thinking of either the Lansing inMotion iM7 or the Bose Sound dock. However, it suddenly occurred to me that these systems may not be compatible with my iPod. I think I have a second generation iPod. Its a 10 GB and it doesn't have the click wheel. It also doesn't have the dock, but rather the "slit" in the bottom that I plug in. I noticed that these systems need "dockable" iPods. I've been able to use other products like the Belkian car adapter etc. I always thought that the only difference between my iPod and ones with docks was that mine just didn't have a dock.
    So my question is, CAN I use my iPod with these types of systems? I noticed that the Lansing inMotion is adaptable with non-dockable iPods, but I have also noticed that when I use other sound devices through my earphone jack (car tape adapter or other computer speakers) the sound quality is less than sub par.
    OK...can I use my iPod with any of these systems? Also, if anyone has any suggestions about which system to get that would be greatly appreciated.
    P.S. My iPod model # is M8976LL

    Well, I answered my own question with some more research, at least as to whether or not I had a "dock" connector.

    If anyone has any suggestions about which speakers are better let me know.

  • Connecting two iPods to computer at same time

    Question: Am I able to connect two iPods (Nano and Shuffle)to my computer at same time? I would want to do this to mainly charge the batteries to these units. My computer has a four high-speed USB connections and I would like to know if this is possible and/or advisable. Thanks very much.

    I'm not sure if you're able to use both at the same time (for data transfer)... You should, however, be able to use both for charging.
    If you eject the iPods it shouldn't be a problem to use more than one at the same time. To eject the iPod in iTunes you would go to the iPod in the source list (on the left, under library, podcasts, etc.) then click on the little eject button, it'll stop being recognized by the computer so it should work.
    I hope this works for you, if not, just update and I'll try to help more.
    Good Luck,
    Joey.

  • Podcast "played" identifier reset everytime I connect my ipod to computer

    In the podcast section of your ipod, there is a little mark next to each of the podcasts that you have not yet listened to. Everytime I connect my ipod to my computer, all of these are reset.
    So, if I've listened to half of the podcasts on my ipod, then connect the ipod to my computer to transfer a song, then disconnect it - all of the podcasts are again showing as unplayed. This is extremely annoying and makes it very hard to keep up with all of the podcasts, because I don't know which episodes I've already listened to without going into each one and jumping around until I recognize a part.
    I've already reinstalled itunes, upgraded itunes, reloaded the ipod using the ipod installer, and updated the ipod - no luck.
    What gives?

    Yeah, I have this problem, it comes and goes. Not only me, but a couple of people in this forum - but this problem has NEVER been answered. Dunno why.

  • When I Connect My iPod, My Computer Shuts Down

    I recently got Microsoft Vista, but I didn't know that this would cause problems to my iPod.
    My iPod suddenly corrupted and I was pointless on what I needed to do. I kept receiving your ipod is corrupt messages from iTunes 7.1. Everytime I entered my computer, it froze, but didn't shut down.
    Last night, I finally got into my computer and formatted it at default allocations on FAT32 with 27.8GB. I woke up earlier today and uninstalled 7.1 and downloaded 7.2 which works with Vista.
    After plugging my iPod in and letting iTunes open up, a blue "Stop" message appeared saying the gibberish and the code 0x8F anthen there were other numbers in parntheses.
    I hope I can gt soe help, Ireally don't want to splurge for another device or repair fees. Thanks in advance.
