How do I use 5th Gen iPod and 2009 Civic USB?

I tried everything I can think of to get my iPod working with my 2009 Civic. From what I've read in the manual, I just be able to plug it into the USB and the car finds it, displays the Honda "H" logo/mark on the screen and away I go. I wish it were that simple.
I have a 5th Gen iPod with verison 1.3 firmware. It's formatted for Windows so it's a FAT32 storage format. I restored the iPod and put the music I wanted back on it so I could test again and still no dice. I don't have another iPod to test with.
Is there something I missed? Anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

The problem ended up being the controller board/card/box (whichever of these) in the car that was malfuctioning. I gathered that they had to do some diagnostics, comparitive testing (with another vehicle and audio system known to work), and test my audio system before isolating and replacing the controller.
I bought my Honda Cerified Used, so it was all covered by the dealer and Honda. I asked what it would cost had the car not been Cerfited Used. I was given an estimate of $350 USD. I know labor alone was $198 USD.
So, if you are expericing the same issue of no connectivity between your Honda and i(Device) and your car DOES NOT display any sort of error message on the audio system, this may be your problem. If you wish to get it fixed without a warranty to cover it, the cost will neighbor $350 USD. An alternative and cheaper option is to buy a headphone to headphone jack audio cable, plugging one end into your AUX outlet (if equipped) and the other your i(Device). Plugging into the AUX outlet does not charge or let you control your i(Device) through the car stereo.
Thanks planb77 for responding to my post.
Cheers.

Make sure that you can access the Internet on your computer or device.
Make sure that your computer meets the iTunes minimum system requirements.
Make sure that your operating system is up-to-date:
Done all of the above...everything is in order, still cannot connect to the store. I have the 5th gen iPod and $50 iTunes gift card that I cannot use(been trying now for 6 days). I am going to return both of these items if I cannot find a fix for this.

When I called Apple (after wating 42 min. for a live person) I was told to run the APPLE Software Update and turn off location services then restart my computer. There were no available updates. The iPod touch I got on Christmas day. The iTunes app was downloaded the same day. Since day 1 I have not been able to connect. I also followed lllaass's advice and followed instructions on the following 2 websites.

After restarting my computer:
From the iTunes app I click on the 'iTunes Store'
A new window opens and I get the following message:
This Apple ID has not yet veen used with the iTunes Store.
Please review your account information
So I click on 'Review' and am taken to a crude screen that says
Welcome to the iTunes Store
With an Apple ID, you can download the latest music, videos, and more.
To begin creating your Apple ID, click Continue.
So I click on 'Continue'
A pop up window says:
We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occurred (-1202).
There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later.
And the only option I am left with is to click 'OK'
After every fix this same scenerio just loops and loops and loops

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large.

I have a 5th gen ipod and recently all of my video podcasts stopped showing up in my ipod. They still show up and play in itunes, just not in my video podcast list on my ipod. All of the podcasts are Quicktime Large. For some reason my ipod has stopped supporting Quicktime Large. Now I've had to redownload every video podcast as Quicktime Small.
Anyone have any ideas whether this is from the the software version 1.3 and if they'll fix it in the next update?

I'm having same problem, but QT Small videos are also not getting synced.

I think I have the same cable that you are talking about and it works just fine for my 4th and 5th gen ipods. All I had to do was plug it into the cig lighter and then select a clear channel for me it was 89.1 and matched it with the push button on the Iplay.
Just to make sure we are talking about the same cable this is the one I have

5th Gen iPod and 2nd gen Nano will connect to Mac, not found by iTunes

I bought a brand new MacBook running OSX 10.4.9, and I cannot get my 5th gen iPod video nor my 2nd gen Nano to be recognized by iTunes. The computer recognizes that there are two drives-- they come up on the desktop. But iTunes will not notice them, let alone play music from them. These iPods are mostly used with Windows 2000 PC laptops, and I'm connecting them via USB.
What should I do?
Thanks,
Robert

see if this helps

How to sync a 5th Gen iPod Touch

My wife bought me a brand new 5th gen iPod Touch and it's not syncing with my full library (only about 75% of it). How do I get all my music on this device?

What type of media does not sync?

Does the non-syncing media play in iTunes on the computer?
What is different about the syncing and non-syncing media? For example detail format, where the media came from.

How to power off 5th Gen ipod nano

I've only used a 4th gen nano a couple of times and holding the play/pause button would turn off the nano.
I've just bought a 5th gen nano for somebody but holding the play/pause button only turns off the screen - hitting any other button brings it back to life.
How do I completely power it down ?
Thanks

Hello paddymacwack,
You turn off your 5th generation Nano the same way you did for your 4th generation by holding the Play/Pause button. However, upon hitting these buttons you should also activate the hold switch, that way you don't actually bump it and turn the iPod back on at any point.

I forgot my passcode for my 5th gen ipod and it won't restore because the 'Find My iPod' feature is on. What should i do?!?!

I changed my passcode for my iPod but I have forgotten what it is. I tried to restore my iPod through iTunes but it won't because the Find my iPod feature on iCloud is on. What should i do?!

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.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

I have a 5th gen iPod, and I can't get it to be recognised by itunes, and the actual ipod does no load frther than the apple logo before turning itself back off. Is there anything I can try?

It is refurbished and looks to be in perfect condition and was bought from the apple store, including box and serial number. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Not with your current user id.
Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
Let's start with iTunes.
Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
Really?
OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

I have the 5th Gen ipod and I went to the triple click under accessability and now it will not let me go back. Is there anyway I can fix this?

my ipod will not function very well with this

Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn it off off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next restore from backup if you have not backed up after turning it initially on.
Last, restore to factory settings/new iPod

First ipod,used 5th gen 30gb, restored, synced, everything looks fine except no sound!

Used 5th gen ipod 30gb classic. Restored, synced and everything looks fine....except there is no sound! Is it damaged or is there something I can do? I am just learning...can anyone help me? Thanks

Does Kenwood say it will work with a 5G iPod (or iiPhone 5)?
Did the iPhones have iOS 7? Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility
Sometimes this works
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Questions regarding upgrade from 4th gen to 5th gen iPod

I recently received a new 80 gig 5th gen iPod and had 2 questions regarding it and my old 40 gig 4th gen. PC meets minimun requirements and is running XP Pro.
1) Do I need to do anything before synching the new 5th gen iPod with my existing Library (i.e. uninstall iPod Updater for 4th gen)?
2) If I don't need to uninstall the 4th gen Updater, can I run both iPods off the same Library, same user (obviously not simultaneously)?

N/A Windows XP Pro

Hey, joggy!
1) No, I don't believe you do. Be sure to disconnect the 4th gen iPod before connecting the 5th generation iPod to the computer.
2) Yes, you can.
There are basically two methods with managing muleiple iPods on one computer:
Method 1 - Create different Windows users accounts for each resgistered iPod on this computer.
Method 2 - Create a playlist in iTunes for each iPod.
To make Method 2 work, connect one of your iPods, and click on it in the left-source panel.
Under the "Music" tab, and set your option for a specific playlist(s) under the "Sync Music" option.
Do the same with your other iPod; not connected at the same time, though.
For more details on this matter, check out Apple's Support article about it:
How to manage multiple iPods using one computer
I hope that helps you.

Why does appple not support Firewire to the 5th Gen ipods?

I just picked up a new 5th gen iPod and am upset that it does not allow for connection to my older G3 iMac via Firewire (as did my older iPod Photo 40).
I can connect it using usb 1.0 but that connection is painfully slow. Why not support Firewire conectivity? Perhaps Apple wants to force me to buy a new computer?
G3 imac (CRT) Mac OS X (10.3.9)
G3 imac (CRT) Mac OS X (10.3.9)

"Apple is aware that iMac users could use Firewire with older iPods, but not my new one. It has nothing to do with updating computer hardware."
While it is true there is nothing you can update on your computer to make the iPod work on a Firewire port, it has everything to do with the fact that the iPod no longer supports the HARDWARE (i.e. chipset) for Firewire transfer in the iPod itself. It has been this way for well over a year now.
"IT MAKES NO SENSE TO ME THAT I NOW HAVE TO USE USB WHERE I USED FIREWIRE TO SYNC IN THE PAST."
Extending your flawed logic further, I used to be able to use SCSI drives, ADP keyboards and Mice, AUII network ports, RS-422 serial ports, etc. so should I still be able to use those now? How's that floppy drive working out on your Mac? Used to be those as well, so I guess your Mac has one now?
"This feature is dreadfully slow,"
Yes, USB1.1 ports are very slow which is why all Mac computers for MANY years now, have all come with USB2 ports for high speed transfer. While I know it ***** when you have an older computer that doesn't support the latest in higher speed ports, but you can not expect Apple to support all port types forever on every device and machine.
When the original iMacs came out, everyone moaned and complained about the loss of a floppy drive and all the devices that no longer would work, like tablets, because there were no ADB ports and all the external SCSI drives that couldn't be used. Guess what, everyone got over it and moved on. Now you would laugh it Apple put a floppy drive into a new machine.
