Connecting IPOD video to surround sound HELP PLEASE!

Hi!
I have been trying to connect my ipod to my surrond sound system at home, but everytime I plug it in all it says is "Do not disconnect" and won't let me go to my menu to play songs. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I tried that but it didn't work... I need to get my ipod to not say "do not disconnect" in order to play from the menu.... does that make sense? It's plugged in correctly and is a brand new ipod so I'm not sure why it isn't working. I called apple, but since my surround sound is an RCA and not an apple device they can't help me....

Hi leo86iii,
From your symptoms, it sounds like there's possibly drive letter confusion going on here.
Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter, by following the instructions from this article:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive
After you've changed the drive letter, is there any change in the way your iPod is recognized by Windows, and syncing with iTunes?

Ipod video with no sound. help needed.

i recently bought an ipod video. i've been adding songs and pics for the last week or so, but haven't added videos yet. yesterday i had some videos already on my computer and i wanted to dowload them to the ipod. i imported the videos to my library and they played fine in itunes. however, when i tried to download them to my ipod, a message pops up that says this video cannot be played by this ipod. i've heard of this problem before and knew what to do: convert the format of the video under advanced options. then i took the converted video and dowloaded it to my ipod with no problem. then i tried to play the video. the video plays correctly but it has no sound at all. same thing in itunes. i've tried everything. any ideas.

You are in the iPod nano forum here, and you'll probably want to post this question in the Fifth Generation category, the correct location to post this kind of question. (you have a video iPod, not a nano).
Onto the problem. Read this Apple article: iPod plays video but not audio
Quicktime and iTunes don't convert "muxed" videos very well for an iPod. "Muxed" is a term referring to a multiplexed file where the video and audio parts of the file are both stored on the same track.
It ends up only playing the video and not the audio of the file.
This is probably your issue. Try using a third-party program that correctly converts both video and audio.

Delete the .ipsw file on the computer.
Put the device in DFU mode.
Restore as new, once the restore completes, then try restoring from backup.

You may have to force your iPad into recovery mode in order to restore the device since the update did not complete. This article explains how to do that.

Please HELP, "iTunes has stopped working" error after connecting iPod video

People please help me out! I have a Razer Blade gaming laptop with Windows 8 64bit.
I have an iPhone 5, iPad 2 and an iPod video (80GB). I had some weeks from not connecting the iPod to my computer, but this morning that I did so I can upload some new music to it, iTunes just crash, I get the "iTunes has stopped working" error message when I connect the iPod video. I do not have this problem with either the iPhone 5 or the iPad 2, when I connect these, iTunes works fine, once I connect the iPod, then all goes down
Procedures that I already tried and that were unsuccessful to solve the problem:
Uninstall Quicktime
Uninstall iTunes and reinstall
Reset the iPod (several times)
Delete TEMP files on computer
Restart the computer (several times)
Use a different cable and a different USB port
The iPod is working fine, if I plug it to my car stereo or if I use it with headphones it works great, no problems nor errors. My computer also identify the iPod as a hard disk, no error messages from Windows, it is just the freakin' iTunes that freezes everytime that I plug the iPod
PLEASE HELP ME OUT, I've searched forums on this particular issue but with no luck.
Thanks very much!

It is only when I attempt to add a song to my iPod once plugged in that I receive the error "Itunes has stopped working" and forces me to exit the program, without the song being successfully transferred.
Do you have the "Convert to 128 kbps AAC" preference enabled for syncing to the iPod, laur?
If so, it's quite plausible that you've got the iTunes 10.1.0.54 bug and we need to get you updated to 10.0.1.56 as per the following document:
[iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

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.

Ipod Video 30Gb no sound music and video

Since two days I have a strange problem on my Ipod Video 30Gb.
On the display it seems that the tracks are playing or that the video is playing. But when I listen through the headphones I hear nothing. Even when I connect the Ipod to a dock or a dockspeaker nothing happens. I allready tried to reset the Ipod and I even installed it's software again but nothing helps.
The last thing I did before the problem occured was that I have upgraded my Itunes to version 8.0.0.35.
Please give me some suggestions how to fix this problem.

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into an HDML connection be able transmit surround sound via Utube, iTunes or whatever?

I have surround sound with my LCD TV. Will my new iPad into HDML connection and Utube, iTunes etc. produce surround sound?

ATV definitely supports AC3 DD 5.1... etc, but definately not through AirPlay, only streamed through the inet.
I also found, in the case of Netflix, that the AC3 is preserved in the highest bandwidth mode but not available in the lowest. (frankly i did not test the intermediate bandwidth)
I was quite pleased with the sound and picture from Netflix.
I am not so patiently waiting for AirPlay to support AC3 DD or DDPlus because I record my home video in %.1 surround (AVCHD) and can preserve it through Final Cut Pro and DVD or Red Laser, but cannot use the intended cable replacement (AirPlay) to play them.
Bummer..
I think/hope if more people request surround sound via AirPlay Apple may then follow through on this otherwise good idea.

Connecting Ipod Video to car stereo

Hi,
I have just bought a Goodmans GCE 7207i card stereo which has the ability to connect you Ipod and play you music library through the car stereo.
However, on the box of the stereo, it says it is compatable with the Ipod min and 3rd and 4th generation ipods. But I have a 5th generation video Ipod?
I am assuming that it says this on the box as when the stereo was manufactured , the Ipod nano / Video was not released.
My question is, does anyone know if this stereo is likely to be compatable with my ipod video. I am assuming it will be as it has the same connecter and if it was compatable with the Ipod photo then it will probably be compatable with the Ipod video.
If anyone has had any experience with this then please help me as i am wondering whether to return the Stereo before it is installed.
Thanks
steve

Oh! Sorry, I don't. I'm expressing how it should work. If you plug the AV Component connection into the touch, plug the connectors into the car DVD and the USB into the car power it should work.
I would try the AV Component connection at home first and when it is working there move it to the car without worrying about the power and then add the power.
make sense?
Sorry for giving you false hope.

My ipod video isnt playing sounds wen im watching movies. .

when i convert the video file to my ipod vid and then put it on my ipod, there is no sound, why is this? please help

Neither iTunes nor QuickTime can convert MPEG-1/2 to MPEG-4 format with audio. MPEG-1/2 files are "muxed," or multiplexed. This means both the audio and video are on one track. iTunes (and QT) fail to see the audio, and only convert the video.
You'll need third party software to convert the videos...
Videora iPod Converter
MPEG Streamclip
Hope this helps.

My ipod video wont play sound through the headphone jack or the bottom connector

Hello everyone. I have an iPod Video 60GB (supports video output through the headphone jack). Which I believe was the last one before the iPod "classic".
Anyways awhile back it stopped outputting sound through the headphone jack, I assumed I had damaged the jack itself as commonly happens but it stopped outputting sound through the dock connector to my ipod speaker dock and my cars ipod connector. The clicker wont make any noise either.
When I tried to search for an answer to this problem years ago I couldnt find anything and knowing it would be out of warrenty I put it aside and forgot about it. Having searched again recently it seems as if this could be the audio processor or some component on the board coming loose? Has anyone outlined this problem with pictures and steps to repair it?
I *may* take it in and pay the $30 but I would much prefer to fix it myself. Thank you for any help with this.

Update: The model # is MA147LL. Not sure why my edit didnt take effect.

Surround Sound Help

Hello all!
Always fancied doing some surround sound editing - and now I can in FCP X - but how?
What do I need to edit Surround sound in Final Cut Pro X on my Mac Mini? I want to mix the surround sound 'on the fly' so that I can hear how it will sound - and play with the postioning of sound / music etc. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

My iMac is on the way so I've been also thinking about getting a good surround sound system to accompany this beautiful computer. Since I don't have an A/V receiver I'd need a system with optical in and decoding capabilities for DD and DTS. I've had my eye for a while now on Logitech Z-5500 Digital, but they're quite old. Also, I'm aware of the stereo sound when connected with digital cable from non-multichannel sources like MP3's, but if there's a feature like Dolby Pro Logic or DTS Neo:6 on a speaker system, will there be sound rear speakers too?
Any suggestions? Thanks.
