Firewire to iPod Dock Connector......Connector

I had my car modified for my old Gen 2 iPod. This consisted of hardwiring both the RCA jack for audio output and a firewire cable for power. I have just bought a new iPod and am looking for a connector to connect to the firewire so that I can dock my new iPod to the power cable. Any ideas?

You want the iPod PocketDock, with Line Output. It does just what you're looking for.

Or do what I did and mount a docking station in your car. Better than fiddling with wires. Just drop the iPod in and off you go. For that, you could use a normal dock and a PocketDock (without the line output, the docking station already has that), and not have to rewire your existing power hookup.

IPod (dock connector) stuck in disk mode

i just replaced the HD on my iPod(dock connector)and now it stuck on disk mode. i tried to reset but it showed a folder with an exclaimation point and went back to disk mode flashing the "do not" symbol and "do not disconnect". it don't show up on my PC or my iTunes. HELP!

That's super odd. It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

Is there a way to hookup shuffle to standard iPod dock connector?

I just got a brand new shuffle, looks real sharp and easy to use, it's my first one since I sold my 1st gen iPod Touch years ago. At that time, I hooked up an adapter (using standard dock connector) to my car's stereo system, through the back of it (not through an option for the car's stereo). So I have a cable (standard iPod dock connector) in my car to hook up to an iPod; I had to control the songs from the iPod itself and usually just kept it on shuffle, and set the stereo to a certain mode for it to be played through the speakers. I wasn't aware until my shuffle came that the dock connector just uses the same 3.5mm jack as the headphones. Is there an adapter to use a standard dock connector for hooking the shuffle to the various iPod accessories (boom boxes/stereos) and therefore, my car's stereo?

Are you sure the three-way power switch is set to shuffle? The middle position is play-in-order, so the shuffle plays the list in the same playlist order (or alphabetical order if using the All Songs list).
If the power switch is in the shuffle position, to re-shuffle the list, move it to the middle position and them move it back to the shuffle position.

Why has the new ipod nano no connector for a speaker dock? The white blank at the bottom looks as if one was intended, but then there were design problems?

IPod (dock connector) resuscitation.

I own an iPod (dock connector) that hasn't held a charge in years. Since I still have data on it, I'd like to know if there's a way to bring it back to life. Thanks for any help!

First of all, try another port on your computer. Some ports are not connected direct to the motherboard and do not recognize the iPod as well as those that are.
Still no joy? See these.
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
Try to restore it in disk mode.

IPOD dock connector touch wheel in New BMW with built in USB connection

HELP! I have a 2008 BMW 5 series that came with a built in USB Ipod connector.
I have an older IPOD dock connector touch wheel that plugs right in to the plug that BMW gave me but won't read on the display.I tried another plug and still, the Ipod is not working in the car. Do I have to download additional software? Is my Ipod model not compatible with the new BMW ipod system. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you hoping to have the iPod serviced by Apple or a third party repair company? If you want Apple to do the service, see this link.

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen.

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock from my iPod, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen. Help me please.

Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

3rg gen ipod dock connector not working with new imac on leopard 10.5.1

Recently found that my 3rd gen ipod is not working properly when i connect it using its dock. itunes just freezes and comes out with some "disk insertion error". however, when i don't use the dock and connect the ipod to the imac directly using its own firewire cable, everything is ok and working properly.
it seems to be the ipod dock that is the problem. but am wondering why wouldn't it work? any ideas? I'd still like to be able to use the ipod dock...
thanks.

New 2006 BMW 325 with mp3/ipod built in connector

Ok, I'm stumped. I just took ownership of a new 2006 BMW 325xi with the "built in" ipod/mp3 connector. It's a small headphone like (I assu,e 3.5mm) jack and I can't find ANY information on what cable to use with it. Is there a dock like connector to 3.5mm headphone connector or do I plug it in as if the BMW was a headphone?
Does anyone have any information on these new built in connectors that BMW is using ? Specifically what freaking connector do I use ?
TIA,
Peter

Well, I found the answer, the new 2006 iPod/mp3 adapter is a generic plug, a std stereo 3.5mm connector comes out of the iPod and goes into a 3.5mm stereo jack and plays through the aux port on the BMW's radio. Its not a digital connector so all you can control is the volume not the playlist etc. This is less than optimal and not exacgtly what I would have envisioned but its there and it works.
Not quite what II as hoping for but,,,,
Thanks,
Peter

Photo Transfer Problem From Minox Dcc M3 to Ipod via Camera Connector

Hi,
I have a minox Dcc M3 digital camera,and i recently purchased a 5th generation ipod with the intention of downloading images from my minox camera direct to the ipod, so that i could delete the images from my camera and carry on taking more pictures without having to carry my laptop around with me, The camera only has a 32mb built in flash memory and will not download direct to the ipod via an ipod camera connector,I have tried other cameras that only have built in flash memory and none of them will download direct to the ipod, Has anyone out there come across this problem before,according to apple the ipod supports the following image transfer protocols:- PTP
Type 4 (or Normal)and Mass Storage.Could anyone tell me if there is any firmware update for the ipod or camera that would make the ipod compatible with the cameras flash memory and allow me to download my images to my ipod.

I don`t think there is an option to turn on or off any transfer protocols,on connecting the camera to windows xp it connects staight away and viewing/downloading photos is no problem,it works the same as my other camera no problem.I have followed apples procedure of connecting (ie:-turn on ipod/connect camera connector/turn on camera and connect usb cable) the camera then shuts off immediately,i can turn it on again but all i get from the ipod is the message "ready to connect".It seems to me that the ipod does not even know the camera is connected?,looks like maybe this camera is not compatible with ipod,but i cannot help but think that other camera makes with built in memory would suffer from the problem.

IPod dock connected to both firewire and usb at same time

I have 3 ipods, 3G 4G 60gb photo 5G 80gb vid. I have a 5G doc and a dual usb / firewire cable. I prefer to manage my 3G and 4G using firewire as it is oh so quicker. However 5G requires usb2 only. I have a Apple 'dual' usb/firewire port cable that at the moment to use I alternate which socket is plugged into the front port of my PowerMac G5 as they are the only spare ports I have.
I just bought an Iomega Ultra Max which comes with a built in firewire and usb hub that means i now have enough ports to dedicate one of each to the ipods but want to use only one dock and so I would like to plug both the firewire and usb iPod cable into the hub and leave them there connected to the iPod dock. I know it won't cause problems when the 5G is connected as there is no hardware for firewire connection. But the 4G has both.. will I encountering a usb and firewire conenction cause problems and possible damage to the ipod or my PowerMac G5, will the 4G ipod use firewire in prefeance to USB if it will work???

Hi iPodista;
I would recommend very strongly that you don't even attempt do this. Generally cross connecting in this fashion is a very good way to get yourself into serious troble.
