I can't get mi ipod to play music on my speaker/dock

Hi all I have an ipod touch and I have a speaker/dock and I can't get the ipod to play music on the speakers
it's hooked up, the dock recognises the ipod, I have home sharing on and this is the second speaker/dock I have tried.
HELP

Does the manufacturer say the dock is compatible with yur specific generation iPOd Touch and its iOS?
Have you went to the manufacturer's support site?
Does it look/feel like the iPod is mating properly wirth the dock?
Without you telling us your iPod model and iOS and the specific dock, it is hard to give more detailed suggestions.

  • How can you get your ipod to play music on your ihome?

    I can't get my ipod to play on my ihome is says this accesssory is not supported by ipod touch!

    If it started after updating to iOS 5 it may be that the dock is not compatible with iOS 5.  Somebody else recently posted with the same problem after iOS 5.

    Check with the theater system vendor and see if their system is compatible with the Nano. The resolution on the Nano may be too low for the system.

  • How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

    How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • How can I get my Ipod to play on someone elses computer?

    How can I get my Ipod classic to play on someone elses computer.  Not my home computer where my library is stored?

    The simplest -- and safest way for both sides -- is to use the same sort of cable you use for the AUX port on your car -- an min-jack to min-jack cable. Plug it into the headphone plug on your iPod, and connect it to the Line-In on the friends computer. This eliminates any risk of your iPod being detected by iTunes on your friends computer and getting corrupted, and also elimates any risk of malware attempting to corrupt the iPod. If you are worried about battery, simply connect your iPod to an external charger when you do this.
    When I'm at work, I never connect my iPod to my work computer. I just use an external speaker. The iPod is only connected to its primary iTunes, and then I only update that iTunes when it is absolutely necessary.

  • How can I get my iPod to play through the 30 pin connector?

    I bought an 30 pin to 8 pin adapter. I plugged it into my iPod and plugged it into the sound system (new Yamaha MCR -049). The scene says "unknown iPod" and will not play music (it comtinues to play through the iPod's speaker) and it does not indicate that the iPod is charging. What am I doing wrong?

    Is a lightning adapter the same as 8 pin ? The manufacurer says this stereo says this only works with iPod 5 (mine is) and the only way to connect is an adapter. I bought an after market brand instead of Apple branded.  I think I have a bad adapter. I'll buy a 39 pin to lightning adapter. I think that's the only way I can figure put if the dock works.

  • I can not get my ipod to play the play button keeps flickering when I turn it on

    I cant get my ipod touch to play, what should I do?

    Here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    It is normal and expcted for a computer to see the iPod as a camera since that is how you get photo off the iPod.

  • HT1752 How can I get my iPod to play again?

    My iPod froze and I cannot get it to operate anymore. I would like to get all the music off it even if it never works again. Any solutions to either problems would be an abosolute help and blessing.
    Thanks

    Reset the iPod. To do this, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • Can't get my ipod to play video on my tv, even after buying the apple AV cable

    Everything that I've read says that I have to put my ipod in "tv output" - but I can't find that option anywhere in my settings. 

    Wht model iPod/iOS
    What adopter/connection to TV?
    What app are you using?
    There are no TV out setting on the iPod.
    Only the 5G iPod will mirror the iPod's screen. Otherwise, TV video out ony works for apps that support TV out

  • I can't get my ipod to play the next podcast in sequence.

    My old Mini played podcasts in sequence. At the end of one, it moved to the next podcast by the same author. My current 5th Gen goes back up to the main menu at the end of every podcast. Very frustrating! Thank you for your help!

    You may need to have them in a playlist.
    Also...if you have Shuffle turned on, make sure they're not set to Skip When Shuffling.

  • How do I get my iPod to play on my Bose Speaker?

    This problem will require a genius, so please read the entire situation before responding. All of a sudden my Bose Speaker, which used to work fine with my iPod, will no longer charge or play my iPod. The speaker plays and charges other iPods with no problem, so there is nothing wrong with the speaker. The iPod plays with no problem on other devices, so there is nothing wrong with the iPod. For some reason, my particular iPod and my particular Bose speaker are no longer compatible with one another. I have returned my iPod to factory settings, to no effect. Bose has generaously replaced the speaker, but the new one doesn't work either.

    I reckon that nothing wrong with your Bose Sound Dock, very likely a bad contact between your particular iPod and the Bose's dock.
    What is the model of your iPod? You are talking about other iPods, are they same model? If the iPods are different models, then bear in mind that due to the size of each iPod models are different, some of them may not fit into the Bose's dock without using a fit adapter.

    I want to use an old 3 GS iPhone that is no longer in service as a phone now as just an iPod to play music. When I connect the phone to the computer with iTunes running, iTunes says it can't connect to the device because it didn't get a valid response from the device. How can I get the system to recognize the phone, and let me rename it as my iPod, instead of my phone?
    As an aside, the current installed operating system on this old iPhone is 4.2.1, but that wasn't one of the selectable options in the operating system list dropdown below. Don't know if that makes any difference.

  • Can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    can only get my Ipod shuffle to play in alphabetical order rather than in the order of the downloaded playlist, is this possible or will it only shuffle or play alphabetically?

    You need to select the playlist on the shuffle, when you play it.  If you do not select a particular playlist, it plays from the All Songs list.  When you set the switch to play in order (not shuffle), the All Songs list plays in alphabetical order.
    To select a playlist, use the VoiceOver feature.  This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver.

    When you select a playlist on the shuffle, it should play in playlist order (when the switch is set to play in order).

    Contact the manufacturer of the motocycle system.  Many systems are not compatible with iOS devices but work fine for the simple iPods.
