Help, I'm new to the iPod

I bought the iPod nano yesterday and bought the Griffin RoadTrip for the car that charges and has the FM Transmitter. The problem is that when I plug my iPod into it, it charges but won't play over the radio. Yes, I do have my station on the same frequency it shows on the display. Yes, I did hit play on the iPod. I guess my question is, my iPod doesn't play without headphones, but the roadtrip has no connection for my headphone jack, is that the problem, or is there a setting in the iPod I'm missing to get it working. Thanks, I'm still an iPod retard right now trying to figure it out.

Hello moog,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting your nano?

  • Help Please! New to the IPod

    Hello, just purchased an IPod touch (4th generation) for my son for his birthday, and we have been trying to get it up and running. When I plug it into my computer it makes the computer chime like it does when other USB devices are plugged in, yet I can not see it anywhere, and the only thing the IPod will show is the USB connect to Itunes?? I have installed, uninstalled, and reinstalled itunes 10, still no go. I have restarted the IPod and the computer many times and still not working. We did have an IPod shuffle a year or so ago that worked just fine on this machine, we can actually still see the playlist for it in the itunes even after reinstalling. Can anyone help?? Thank you for your time.

    Sorry for late reply. Now, in Add/Remove Programs Window in Control Panel, Uninstall iTunes step by step as mentioned below:
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Now, open Run window and type regedit. Registry windows appears. On left side column expand CURRENT_USER and then expand SOFTWARE. Search for Apple Computer or iTunes, highlight it then delete it by right clicking it and choosing delete.
    Now again choose LOCAL_MACHINE, expand SOFTWARE and delete Apple registry files as described above.
    You must also delete iTunes files from C:\Users\Account_Name\AppData where Account_Name stands for your logging name on windows. On this window open LOCAL AND LOCALLOW folders and delete Apple Computer folders from each.
    Now restart your computer and reinstall iTunes.
    I do hope it will solve the issue.
    Do post your progress

  • What is new in the iPod Touch 5?

    Hello I was wondering what is going to be new in the iPod Touch 5? Thanks!

    Apple has not yet made any announcement with regards to the 5G iPod Touch.  It is against the erms of use of this forum to speculate on such things.  Google if you want to see what others are speculating.

  • Why is my iMovie shutting down every time I try to share it to iDVD? Help I am new to the Apple world

    Why is my iMovie shutting down everytime I try to share it to iDVD? Help I am new to the Apple world, what am I doing wrong? I have already shared 2 iMovies but this 3rd one is giving me trouble!

    Hi
    First
    • How much free space is there on Your Start-Up Hard Disk ?
    If less than 25Gb - then iDVD will get a hard task as iDVD and Mac OS needs this space for it's pref files (can't be easily addressed to other hard disk)
    Then
    • I do not use "Share to iDVD" - but - "Share to Media Browser" and as Large (not HD or other resolution)
    If still problem - then
    • Material used in iMovie can be the problem maker eg .mp3 audio and .avi, .wmv/a files etc.

  • New to the Ipod World and Needing Help

    Im use to using the diffrent mp3 player's. I was hoping to know if its possible to sync music from Windows Media Player to the Ipod Nano 5th Generation. I tried and my Ipod says no music but its taking up space.

    You need to use iTunes and add the songs to your iTunes library then sync them from iTunes. If they are copy protected songs you purchased they will not be added to your library.

  • I am new to the ipod and I have the ipod hooked up to my computer but it says not connected to the internet,  any suggestions?

    I am a new ipod touch user.  I have my ipod connected to my computer, but when I try and get into anything it says I am not connected to the internet. 
    Please help a newbee????

    The iPod Touch requires a WiFi (Wireless) signal to connect to the Internet. It can not connect to the Internet by way of the USB syncing cable.

  • I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.

    I need help syncing my music onto my ipod.  Anyone there to help?

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848
    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • This is prob a real simple question - but i am new to the ipod experience

    so please be gentle with me. i got a nano recently and love everything about it, and in relation to iunes it has taken over as my media player.
    however tonight when i hooked up the nano to change the laylists etc i get the recognition of the nano, the list of tracks on it but i am an unable to update it. now i have ched the settings and nothing has changed over the last week of use, except for a small locked padlock down on the bottom section of the itunes menu (next to the space gauge for the nano) and i cant work out how to remove it or change it. the nano is not in the HOLD position and i have no active parental controls.
    i am lost and what annoys me most is it is prob the simplest thing to fix (if you know how). so could any of you fine people tell the idiot what he has done wrong?
    thanks
    the itunes idiot

    The padlock icon indicates that iTunes is set for automatic synchronization to your iPod. Any changes you make in iTunes should automatically be reflected on your iPod. Are you attempting to make changes directly on your iPod as mounted in iTunes (which you cannot do unless you set iTunes for manual synchronization); i.e. you're trying to alter the playlists and tracks as shown under the disclosure list for your iPod in the iTunes Source list? Or are you changing the playlists, etc. created in iTunes?
    If you're not clear on all of this, you might find the iPod/iTunes tutorials helpful.
    Regards.

  • Help! everytime i put the ipod on the usb my computer restarts!

    Hi everyone,
    i wanted to add songs to my ipod so put it on the usb, it told me that i had to update the ipod to be able to use it on my computer (??), so i did it and it erased everything, but then after that update now everytime i put the ipod on the usb, in about 3 seconds my computer restarts, like big black screen then restarts. i tried several usb ports, i reinitialized the ipod, etc etc and it still continues. what does it mean? please help me!
    thank you

    hmmmm. are you getting any sort of a blue screen, as well as the black screen, alex?
    if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
    here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
    Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
    if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), we can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear for us:
    1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
    2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
    3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
    4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

  • I need help with putting notes on the ipod nano!!!!... HELP!!!...

    I have no clue how to even go about putting notes on the ipod nano but i allways get lost!!! I just got it and i need some big time help !!!
    thanks so much

    1 - Ok, to put notes onto your nano, you'll first need to enable it for disk mode. When it's plugged in, go into iTunes, and open up iPod preferences. Check the "Enable disk use" box.
    2 - In your Windoze file browser (what you click on files in), locate your iPod, which should be located in My Computer. Open that up, and locate the notes folder. That is where you can put any notes, in the form of text files, that you want.
    3 - Make the notes. iPods only recognize plain text and html files. So, when you open the text file up in a word processor, make sure to save it as a plain text file (.txt extension). Then, just drag it onto your iPod.
    In disk mode, your iPod will need to be ejected before you unplug it from your computer. Right click on it (in your My Computer folder) and click "Eject"

  • I need help - songs are still on the ipod but dont show up

    my itunes crashed the other day and suddenly all the files on my ipod were gone. now when i connect it, itunes doesnt recognize it anymore, but i can see from the space left info in the finder that the songs are still on there. using ipod viewer, it even loads the songs to a certain point. unfortunately, a message comes up about an error reading the ipod. now my question is, is there any way or program to extract all those files from my ipod or do i really need to restore it?

    yes i did. that was actually what i did when i had my ipod connected to the computer and itunes froze which lead to all my stuff getting deleted. so NEVER do this while your ipod is connected to your computer. thanks for your reply.

  • HELP cant get songs on the ipod

    itunes says that the ipod has been updated but when i go to use it it flashes green/orange and doesnt make any noise.
      Windows XP Pro  
      Windows XP Pro  

    That sounds about right.
    Updating the software removes all songs.
    Flashing O/G means, among other things, that there are no songs on the iPS to be played.
    Not making noise when nothing is there would be a good thing.

  • I'm new to the ipod thing, what do the check marks mean?

    I'm sorry to bother people with this simple questions, but I looked all throught the tutorial and coudn't find the explanation for the check marks in the boxes in front of the song titles

    In iTunes the "Check marks" serve 2 porpuses.
    1) If you have a song unchecked it will not play. Lets say you have a playlist with 4 songs, and you uncheck the 3rd one, well when its playing it will play track 1, track 2 then skip track 3 and play track 4. If all songs are unchecked, the second the first song is dome playing it just stops playing any songs til you select one.
    2) If you have an iPod AND your iPod preferences are set to "Only Update checked songs" all songs without a checkmark are not added to your iPod, this is good for songs you don't really like or seasonal songs like xmas songs. To set this on an iPod, connect it to the PC, rightclick the iPod in iTunes, hit "Ipod options" then check the box beside "Update only checked songs"

  • What's new in the iPod classic firmware v1.3?

    I was just wondering because I hadn't noticed anything new.

    I was wondering the same thing. I can't seem to find anything explaining what the firmware update is supposed to accomplish.
    Also, is their a good reason why the 5th Gen Video iPod can't download rented movies? I know the new Classic can... this makes no sense.
