How to revert to older software to play ipod in car stereo

I have a Classic I-pod with software version 3.1.1. The manual for my Pioneer DEH-P310UB car stereo says it will play the Classic I-pod version 1.1.2. Can I revert my I-pod software back to 1.1.2 in order to play it in the car? I'm going on a long road trip and wish to play this I-pod on the road.

Yes I do have a Classic, it's not a nano, it doesn't take photos, and I got it for Christmas 2004.
The iPod classic was not even released until October 2007.
The iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) and iPod with color display do not take photos but can display photos.
it tells me the software is 3.1.1
Yes, because the iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) uses firmware 3.1.1. The iPod classic (120 GB iPod) uses version 2.
The iPod classic (80GB & 160GB) use version 1.1.2.
Is it possible to revert to 1.1.2?
Possibly but the manual you are reading is not referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod Photo (4th gen).
It is referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod classic (which are only the 80GB/160GB models).
If your iPod does not have a 80/160/120Gb drive, it is not an iPod classic. It is a regular iPod.

How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

How can I burn CDs that will play on my car stereo CD player?

Make sure the format when you burn your playlist is one your car's CD player will recognize. Typically mp3 songs are readable now but when in doubt, burn an audio cd. Yes, you will get less songs per cd (as compared to mp3 formatted one) but you are guaranteed the cd will work in any place. Most cars have it written on the radio somewhere what formats it can read for CDs.. Good luck!

Playing ipod thru car stereo with no mp3 capability

Is there a model that you can connect to your car audio (thru cigarette lighter) that will play clearly? My stereo is older and does not play mp3 nor do I have an ipod connection. Thanks for your help!

Yeah, they make FM transmitters that use the ciggerette lighter's power to power the transmitter. Cigarette lighter sockets are 12v only no audio in there.

Playing iPod through car stereo

Hi,
It plays just fine except it won't shuffle songs, and the battery drains when the car is off. The iPod needs to be ejected when the battery is down, the car started and the iPod reconnected for it to work (except it still won't shuffle).
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer

It sounds like the car stereo to me. Try getting one of those wireless transmiteras for the radio and see it if is still doing the volume jumps. If not then it is your stereo and if so them it is the iPod.

I cant shuffle tracks in playlists like before on latest itunes and when playing ipod through car stereo it will only placks in the 'correct'order - even if i select shuffle on the ipod itself.

i mostly use my ipod in a car system through the oe radio (audi a4) - if you connect an ipod and play tracks, evene when setting songs to shuffle it stil plays in the correct order.
in the past i have made and shuffled playlists then they played fine. since 'upgrading' to the latest itunes it does not now let me do this. you can shuffle tracks but it does not physically re-list the tracks like it used to.
any help on this woulod be greatly appreciated!
thanks

Read the car user manual or contact the car dealership.

You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.

To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

How can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

how can i convert a quick time movie file to a cd that will play in a car stereo?

In quicktime, I would try File -> Export -> Audio. It will create an audio file. Then drop it onto your playlist into iTunes. Burn the list from itunes with File -> Burn to disk and then select Audio CD.
If you have Quicktime 7 it should be easier and export to AIFF directly

Then that means you got the ipod touch 2G because the ipod touch 2G only goes up to iOS 4.2

Fm tuner in 5th gen nano let you play out of car stereo?

i have an older car (2001) that does not have a jack to plug in an ipod. back in the day, with my mini, belkin made a fm tuner that could attach to mini, to listen to ipod from car stereo.

I have a Belkin FM transmitter which I use with a 2nd Gen Nano and it also works with a 5th Gen Nano. The only difference is that I first have to put the Nano into play and then plug the FM-T. in, otherwise it doesn't work.
Hence I would assume a transmitter which worked with a 4th gen also works with a 5th gen. After all, it is all about the connector and that is always the same.
Hope this helps.

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

How to revert to older version of iTunes

I'm always apprehensive of updating iTunes to newer versions.
Just bought an iPhone 5 64GB and I'd like to sync it with music.
My older phone (32 GB 3GS) had complications when I first bought it, so I'd chosen never to update IT or my iTunes since.
The 3GS is still running on an older version (3.1.3 [7E18]) and it's been amazing through my 3 years of use.
The version of iTunes I'm running is 10.3.1 from back in 2011 (I believe) and I'm quite happy with it.
My iPods AND iPhone have given me no problems these past few years.
In order to sync my new phone, I'm expecting that iTunes will require the update.
So... Is there a way to SAVE my current version of iTunes (10.3.1) in case the current one is not to my liking?
I was hoping to save a copy of it to a USB key.
I'd also appreciate instruction on how to revert back to this older version if I need to later.
I'm using a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Thanks in advance, and have a Safe & Happy New Year!

You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
If you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below (click on it to enlarge), then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
