Connection to Ipod speakers

So i have a Ipod Nano 2 GB. ive had it since christmas '05. For the past few months ive been having some problems with connecting my ipod to the speaker that i have for it. When i connect the ipod i have to move the Ipod around slightly to get it to work, and to be able to hear music. When i look at the bottom of the ipod to see where it connects, on one side it is bent down, so im thinking that is why i cant hear anything when listening to it, on the speakers. So, is there anyway i can repair this problem or do i have to go out and buy a new ipod...?

Help me please!!! i just wanna know if i can get it repaired or if i have to get a new ipod!

Connecting to iPod speakers/charger?

I have an older iPod (30GB, "classic" model) that I've used to connect to three items in the past and that work fine. Two of them are speakers (the donut one, and another one that's got a radio integrated) and the third is the Monster lighter power/charger cord through which you just have to change the extension and you can charge anything to it (I use it to charge my bluetooth as well, with a different extension, obviously).
My question is this: I just got the new iPhone 3GS and none of these three items will "accept" the phone. The pins fit okay (based on my naked eye) but the screen on the iPhone just tells me that this accessory isn't the right one for the phone. What I'd like to know is if such a thing exists that's like a double plug in, both "male" on either side: one that would accept the "old"/iPod appropriate pins and one that would accept the "newer"/iPhone ones. Just as a "transition" plug from old to new? I really don't want to buy a whole bunch of new speakers. I do think that eventually Monster will create/build a new plug/extension for their car charge kit, so I'm not too worried about that, but I really don't want to have to buy more speakers that might not even accept my older iPod for playing/charging.
Any advice? Thanks.

I asked at an applestore and they said that the new speakers will work with the older iPods, but not the other way around (always).

Connecting 5G Ipod to Computer Speakers

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

Can I connect n iPod Touch to powered speakers?

I have an old pair of computer powered speakers. Can I connect an iPod Touch or Shuffle directly to the powered speakers? I would like to use the speakers in a garage with the iPod.

The speakers just have the 3.5mm plug.
If this is to plug into the back of a computer to get sound, then yes, just plug it into your touch headphone jack.

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

No, but it will not work. The iPod does not have an amplifier in it that is powerful enough to drive the speakers in your car.
So, do you have a stereo in the car, either factory fitted or one you have had fitted after it came out of the factory? If you do, check to see if the car's stereo either has a dedicated input for an iPod or an auxilary (aux input) socket.
Some modern cars (for example, my 2006 model Mazda 3) have stereos that can be fitted with iPod connectors. I paid to have one fitted to my Mazda's factory-fitted stereo. So now, I connect my iPod to the car's stereo via a dock connector and I have limited control of the iPod from the car's steering wheel. Some cars have more sophisticted control than mine does.
Alternatively, if the car's stereo has an Aux input socket, you only need to buy a headphone-to-headphone lead and connect from the iPod's headphone socket to the Aux input.
If you don't have either of those options, another method is to use a transmitter. These small radio transmitters are connected into the headphone socket of the iPod and then transmit the audio (like radio) so that you can tune your car's radio to the same frequency as the transmitter. You control the iPod as you do when using headphones. The sound quality will porbably not be as good as the dedicated dock connector method, but it's reasonable.

Any way to connect an iPod Shuffle (4th gen) to speakers that will keep it charged continuously?

I'm trying to setup an iPod shuffle connected to small speakers and have it remain charged continuously. Any way to accomplish this?
I need as simple an interface and setup as possible for my blind Grandmother.

No, the current shuffle is a simple device that only has one connection point (the headphones jack) that doubles as the audio output and charging/data connection. On other iPods that have a separate docking connector, you can connect it to something like a USB power adapter and use the separate headphones jack to connect to the speakers. On a shuffle, you are either connecting it to power/data or you are connecting it to headphones (or the speakers). You can't do both at the same time.
It is a good idea to use a shuffle for this purpose, because it is easy to use without the need to look at any screen. If you can find a used 1st gen shuffle in decent shape, pictured here in this document
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1719
it may actually work. That first shuffle has a built-in USB plug (like a USB flash drive), plus a separate headphones jack. Get a USB power adapter like this one
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD810LL/A/apple-5w-usb-power-adapter
and a USB extension cable that is long enough to provide comfortable access. Connect the extension cable to the power adapter, and the shuffle to the other end. I just tried it (without the extension cable) using my 1st gen shuffle, and it seems to charge and play at the same time. I can't be 100% sure because I only played it that way for a few minutes. It might be shutting off the charging while it is playing, but that would not make any sense from the designer's perspective.
The added benefit in your case is that the battery on the used shuffle does not need to be strong, because it is always connected to power. And the shape of the 1st gen shuffle is better, because it is long and narrow (like a remote control), not a tiny square. Also, the 1st gen shuffle has REALLY excellent sound quality.

Connecting Ipod nano to Logitech mm50 ipod speakers

I just bought the Logitech mm50 Ipod Speakers and can't hear the sound from my Ipod Nano over the speakers. I have fully charged the battery with the included charger and now want to listen to the music using the included adaptor (which plugs into the wall) to no avail. The Ipod shows the songs are playing, but we can't hear them. Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, can you help me solve this one, short of returning it to the store?

Hi Sabir,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
The Creative speakers should work with the iPod as long as they have a standard headphone jack. I saw some connections from Creative to the iPod, but they were not rated.

Is it possible to connect an iPod touch to usual speakers and stream music?

i like the new airplay features but i'd apreciate if there was any way to connect my iPod touch 4G to my cheap Logitech Speekers and use my iTunes to select the music i wanna listen to with the speakers. Is that possible?

yes they do? but what to do now? i can actually connect my iphone to the speakers with the cable and play music with my ipod and listen to it through them. but i can't plug it in, turn my wi-fi on, let my iphone connected to the speakers & control the music played with itunes. or is there any possible way to manage that?

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 to connect my ipod with my mac

The arror i get at my ipod is:

This is not feature of the ipod touch. You cannot connect to a computer or another phone or device.
It is for stereo headsets/speakers and some peer-to-peer apps from the app store.

Connecting my iPod to my Car's 30-pin Dock but Being Able to Control It from Within the iPod?

I have a 5th Generation iPod nano. I own a 2008 VW Eos which has a 30-pin dock. It functions but, my car's UI for iPod is nefastous. I wanted to know if there was a way to control the music within the iPod.

Not using the dock connection. That is for data, and your car audio system is "in charge" of playing the songs. However, if the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input that is a standard mini-stereo jack (looks like headphones jack), you can connect the iPod there using a commonly available cable, like this

Then, play your iPod through the car's speakers.

What does connecting my iPod touch to my iMac via BlueTooth do?

I connected my 3rd Gen iPod touch to my 27" iMac through bluetooth just for the fun of it, and I'm just wondering what difference it makes. Are there any features that I can use to utilise the connection. The only thing i noticed from glimpsing through the apps is the addition of accounts on the notes app. Other than that, I can't seem to find any other use.

None

No

That's unrelated to Bluetooth and did not occur as a result of you pairing the iPod touch and iMac.
Bluetooth in the iPod touch is for connecting headsets/headphones/speakers, keyboards, and some peer to peer games.

Connect external amplified speakers

Hi,
My daughter asks if it is possible to connect external amplified speakers to her Sat Pro P 200, and if so, how please ?
eg perhaps an old set of Altec Lansing ATP5's.
Thanks.

You can connect the speakers via the headphone socket and still use the radio.
You cannot switch between radio and music via the remote, only via the menu on the iPod.

HT4587 I can't locate airport express icon in itunes to connect my remote speakers wirelessly, can anyone help please?

Can anyone help please? I am trying to connect my remote speakers to my i-tunes library using Airport Express. Everything is connected and working using mt OS device (Ipod Touch 5th Generation) that works fine. I have tuned on home sharing and it says in itunes preferences that I am paired but according to the light on the airport express base station I am not connected to my existing wi-fi network. I cannot find the itune airplay icon anywhere in itunes nor can I find the network link by hovering my pointer of the network connections as suggested in the instructions that came with airport express. Would apprecaite some help please you can give. - thank you.

hmmmmm.
i'm not trying to get rid of you here, but it might be worth also checking-in/reposting over at the Airport for Windows forum. when Airtunes things get sticky, i generally defer to iFelix or RJ in WI, and they spend a lot more time over there than they do here.
(traffic is so heavy in here at the moment that this thread might be buried out of sight before an AirTunes guru gets to see you.)
here's a link through to the Airport for Windows forum:
