Hooking iPod up to TV

when I use the Apple AV cable to hook up the iPod to the TV all I get is a black screen, and a loud humming noise, if I turn the volume all the way up on the iPod, I can faintly hear the video over the humming...??

TV shows up as black and white when I hook Ipod to TV

I have the dock and the remote, the cables, etc.... Yet when I hook up to the T.V. to watch downloaded show 1. I either get the show in Black and White
or 2. I get audio only. What's the solution?

if you are not using cables specifically designed for the iPod make sure you switch the red and the yellow. also make sure the TV out setting is on in your video settings on your iPod.
if you are using a cable specifically for the iPod and it doesn't work after trying the above the cable maybe defective.

Device for hooking ipod to external speakers...?

I have a 40g ipod and would like to hook it up to a set of external speakers on my deck. Is there a device for hooking up the ipod to external speakers?? I know about the docking systems (i.e. Bose, etc.) and the stereo receiver hookup, but is there an individual amplifier device avaiable to just be a go-between the ipod and speakers?? I don't feel like bringing my stereo reciever outside and I want the ability to change songs....
Sorry if this is a repeat question...I did a qucik search and didn't see anything.
- thanks REV

You need an AUX input on your stereo and a 3.5mm jack to jack cable(there cheap) heres a link for one

Hooking IPOD to Creative Labs external speakers

I just purchased a set of speakers and subwoofer, Creative Labs, to hook my IPOD up to; everything seems be hooked up correctly, but no sound comes out of the speakers. The Creative Labs people said they couldn't help me, that I had to contact IPOD support, which of course, is impossible. Is there some trick to this? Is there a different cable that goes from the IPOD to the input jack of the speakers? Or what the heck could be wrong??
Please help - these speakers are for a party Saturday, 8/26!!!!!

I called Circuit City, where I purchased the speakers at, some nice person there told me I had to have the volume of my IPOD turned all the way up in order for it to work. Which I then did, and it deed indeed work wonderfully. Shame on the idiots at Creative Labs who couldn't share that bit of information, and shame on Apple for not having a phone number of anyone to contact, or at least one that isn't hidden in layers.

Hook iPod to car speakers.

I've never done this before, but my friend is trying to get his iPod hooked up to his car speakers. If it helps, the car in question is a 2006 Toyota Corolla LE. There's a multi-disc CD player.
~ Thanks in advance.

get an iPod car player. They are usually a little on the pricey side...i saw one for $40.00 at Lowe's here in Texas, but what you do is hook it to your car's cigarette lighter. Once it is powered up, plug in iPod and it will transmit on a radio frequency (the better, more expensive ones transmit on several optional frequencies to prevent interference by local radio stations) Simply tune your car's radio to the frequency and it will play. Then you can blast it with speakers.

Hook Ipod Touch to tv?

Hi,
I have a 2nd Gen Touch and the firmware version is 4.0.2 (I believe!). I'd like to get a cord like this, but can't figure out if it would work with my product given the requirements it states. Would it? Should it?
http://cgi.ebay.com/AV-TV-RCA-Video-USB-Cable-iPhone-3G-iPod-Touch-Nano-/2206677 42890?pt=OtherMP3_PlayerAccessories&hash=item3360d28aaa

iOS 4.0 is referencing a major version "upgrade".
IOS 4.0.2 is referencing the second minor "update" to iOS4.0
iOS 4.1 is the newest/most recent "update" to iOS4.0
Does that help?
Also, you should be able to find either "component" (RGB+audio) or "composite" (1V2A / RCA / YellowRedWhite) video cables in the Apple Store for about USD $50.00.
You need to know which types of available input connections you have on your TV.
If you have a choice, you should choose component, as that will produce a superior image.
If I remember correctly, that cable includes an additional USB power cable/adapter, so your iPod battery wo t drain/die during playback.
Have fun with Netflix!!

Trouble hooking ipod to the computer

I am new to the ipod. I downloaded an ebook from my library onto my itunes on my computer. Then I attached my ipod to the computer. Nothing is showing up on my computer that indicated that my ipod is actually connected. Any advice?

Hooking iPod to aux outlet in Honda Ridgeline

I have the 5th gen iPod (60 gig). My Honda truck came with an aux audio jack in the glovebox area. Is there an Apple/3rd party cable available or do I have to pay Honda $214 for their install?
Thanks.

If it has the cable there already, what would you be paying $214 for?
It's not simply a cable. It has electronics inside to interface and control the iPod.

Hooking ipod to new computer

Ok...here's the problem...my laptop computer crashed, where all my itunes songs were kept. there was no saving the comptuer so the only place I have the songs is on my ipod itself. I have a desktop computer that i have downloaded itunes to but i need to transfer ALL of my songs from my ipod to my desktop...how do i do this?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod.
The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Please Help- IPod Classic and Mac/Itunes

Hi all,
I'm new here because I have a bit of a problem. Please forgive me for my lack of general computer/Ipod knowledge...
I purchased my MacBook about 4 1/2 years ago. I'm not sure exactly what model I have, but the age should help you determine that.
I also purchased my Ipod about 5 years ago. I think it's the first "video" Ipod that came out. It's 40 Gig, white, and pretty basic.
I've taken exquisite care of my Ipod because I'm just interested in putting my new CD's on it, and taking it with me in the car so I don't have to lug around 40 CD's all the time.
Anyway, for the last 2 years or so, my process of putting new music on my IPod was as follows:
1. Open Itunes
2. Import CD
3. Hook Ipod up to the USB port (my Ipod is not synched)
4. Click and highlight the new CD and drag it to my Ipod
5. After updating, disconnect my Ipod
6. Delete CD off of Itunes libary
This has gone off without a hitch for quite some time.
The other day, I went through this exact process, as I've purchased a new CD, but I had an issue.
After I plugged my Ipod in, Itunes recognized it, as usual. But, on the Ipod screen, it continued to flash "do not disconnect." After a half hour of waiting, it didn't go away. I tried to drag the new songs to my Ipod like usual, and then disconnect, but to no avail.
In the past, when I hooked up my Ipod, after about 20 seconds, the "Do Not Disconnect" screen would disappear, and take me to my main menu (on the Ipod).
Now, that screen doesn't turn off, and I can't get new songs onto the device.
Please help...I'm not very good with any of this, and would very much like to hear my new music.
Thanks for your help!
Jeff

hold the menu and middle buttons down together until the screen on the ipod goes blank. that restarts it then try your normal process again

Everything deleted & iTunes & Updater doesn't recognize iPod

Yeah, that's my problem. Funny thing is, I didn't do anything to the iPod to cause the problem. One day I was just adding songs to the iPod & using it like a hard drive (things I've done before with no problems) & then I turn it on two days later to find all my songs deleted. It was returned to factory settings when I didn't do anything.
I hooked iPod up to my computer & it's not recognized by iTunes or the Updater. My computer, however, recognizes it & says that the iPod has the memory it did before the problem. I read the article for when iPod isn't recognized by iTunes or iPod, but I don't know if this would also apply because I also have the another problem. I didn't try this yet because I gave my iPod to some one to help me. He couldn't solve my problem so I'm turning it over to all of you.
Thanks so much!

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.

Replaced the USB cable
Deinstalled/reinstalled Itunes and Ipod

Reinstalled XP SP2
Deinstalled any new or funky software, disabled any virus or security software.

Itunes restarts my computer

I recently purchased an ipod nano 3rd generation. I installed itunes7.6 with quicktime the installation went fine. When I try to open itunes I get a blue screen error saying my computer needs to restart. I've uninstalled and reinstalled several times to no avail. haven't even been able to hook ipod up yet. do I need to disable security somewhere? have norton and a firewall. I have an hp pc with windows xp service pack 2. Just getting frustrated and may return the ipod and accessories.

If you are getting a blue screen stop, it would help if you could post the exact error message. It should be some sort of numbers and text -
0x(zeros/letters/numbers) (CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
For example:
Stop 0x05 (INVALIDPROCESS_ATTACHATTEMPT)
Also is a file name mentioned in the error message? If so give the exact file name. Often it will be a driver and it can give an important clue to the casue of the problem.
if you're not seeing a blue screen (or just a flash of one), you can use this technique to make hidden blue screens appear:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Settings" button in the "Startup and Recovery" section
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

Can't get songs to download

when i hook ipod up itunes comes up shows ipod but when go to update ipod it will say do not disconnect but it does not download any of the songs onto the ipod. Please help!!!

Well, i personally don't believe that a "do not disconnec" sign should be on the iPod for hours. And when I used iTunes, it took about a minute before it gave me the green flag, so I have to disagree.
