I Can't play my iPod shuffle through my car's communication system. Is it compatible?

Why can no one answer this question correctly? I'm
on hour number four of trying to get mine to play a
song....skips through the titles the same way. I
have searched the discussions and it looks like it's
been asked several hundreds of times with no help
given.

Playing ipod shuffle through second computer

I want to play my ipod shuffle through a second computer. I downloaded iTunes but the message "the ipod "mhc shuffle" is synched with another computer...." comes up - is there any way to just play the songs on shuffle through another laptop????

AFAIK, the whole deal is designed to prevent ppl from using Pods to circumvent the DRM crappola, so they make it difficult or impossible to do things like this and share digital copies w/ others.
However, if you really only wanna play the tunes, as opposed to copy them, connect a cable between the pod's headphone jack and the audio in of another computer, it should yield a pretty hi-fidelity sound even though it's no longer digital. With the right cable, you can connect a Pod to a stereo system and use it like a tape player w/ better sound.

HT1719 can't get my ipod shuffle to work in new fiesta

I collected my new fiesta on sunday 14th Oct 2013, but can't get my ipod shuffle ( 4th generation) to work or sync with the car.
I am not technical so simple answers would really be appreciated.
thanks

It's possible that your car's audio system is not designed to work with an iPod shuffle. You should look at the car audio system's documentation to see what types of devices are supported when connected to the USB port on the car audio system.
An iPod does not "sync" with the car audio system. The system is only using the device connected to the USB port as a storage device. It would be the same as connecting a simple USB flash drive, with songs files on it, to that port. The car audio system reads the song files and does the playing. The iPod is not doing the playing. So the question is, does the car audio system know HOW to find song files on an iPod? You may want to check the settings screen on the car audio system, to see if there is a specific setting that tells it you are connecting an iPod.
If the car audio system has an auxiliary audio input port (which looks like the headphones jack on the shuffle), you can connect the shuffle (or any device with standard audio output) to the car audio system using something like this

and play your shuffle through the car audio system.

How can I sync my ipod shuffle so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

How can I sync my ipod shuffle (4th generation) so that it plays in the same order as my playlist?

Is the playlist in your iTunes library, or is it already on the shuffle (as a playlist)?
If you created one or more playlists for your shuffle in your iTunes library (with the songs in the desired playlist order), you should set up automatic syncing. Here's how to do that, if you have not already...
NOTE: If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Select the shuffle in the sidebar, under DEVICES. Near the top of the window, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click Music next to Summary. This is the shuffle's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs. (Sorry if you know this already...)
Check the box for Sync Music. Below that, choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. In your case, find and checkmark those playlists you want under Playlists. When you click Apply, the songs on those playlists and the playlists sync to the shuffle.
When using your shuffle, the default playlist that you are using is the All Songs list. To play songs in order, the shuffle's power switch needs to be set to the play-in-order (middle) position. However, if you are playing from the All Songs list, the songs play in alphabetical order.
To play from a particular playlist that is on the shuffle, you need to use VoiceOver to switch to that playlist. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on a shuffle

When playing from a particular playlist, with the power switch set to play-in-order, the songs play in playlist order.

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).

Can i use my ipod shuffle in my audi q3 ?

I have just got an ipod shuffle but when I connect to my Audi Q3 I get the message "content unreadable " what is wrong ?

Are you connecting it to a USB port on the car audio system? If so, a shuffle may not be compatible. Check the documentation for the car audio system for device compatibility.
If the car audio system has an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack, you can get something like this

and connect your shuffle's headphones jack to the car audio system. You can then use your shuffle to play through the car audio system.

Can I Play my iPod while AC adapter plugged in?

Can I play my iPod through a stereo while the iPod is plugged in through the AC adapter? Will this harm the battery? To do this seems more convenient than plugging it in to charge and then unplugging it to play.

yes you can, it will not harm the battery
be careful when connecting the ipod to the stereo, the ipod charger has no earth connection so the ipod floats at mains voltage due to leakage/coupling through the charger (in the uk my ipod had about 350 volts peak to peak on it when measured with a dso, exactly what you'd expect for 240 volts ac mains, in the usa it'd be about 150v pk-pk) the current is too low to hurt a person, but a stereo will be driven into saturation by this sort of thing on its input
so connecting a mains-charging ipod to a stereo with the volume up could produce a very loud bang, with a high power system it might be enough to cause damage to the speakers
the way to do it is:
stereo volume at zero
connect the ipod which is already connected to the charger which is already connected to the ac mains
start the ipod, then increase the stereo volume

Can't listen to iPod Shuffle 4th Generation in car with car stereo. Help!

I do not have a USB or cassette player in my car. My car is MP3 compatible. What can I do or buy so that I can listen to my iPod Shuffle 4th Gen. in my car through the stereo system and not the headphones?

You could check with a shop in your area to see if one can be added or you can try one of the FM transmitters. If you are in a rural area you might have some success, if you are near Atlanta I wouldn't bother.

My ipod is somehow synced to another library, because I plugged the charger to a wall. How can I sync my ipod shuffle back to the original Itunes library without erasing my current data in the Ipod shuffle?

",the owner sold the ipod without clearing the songs and since the songs were not puchased from the itunes store then i believe i now own the songs"
Not true at all.
It does not matter where the songs came from, they are not yours and the previous owner does not own the right to distribute them to others.
The law is the same with downloads and cds and any other medium.

You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next try:
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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How can I play my ipod classic 30G thru my older home stereo? Radio Shack guy sold me a head phone adapter to use in the head phone socket on the stereo with the other end attaching to the ipod. It doesn't do anything. Are there settings I need to make on

How can I play my ipod classic 30 G thru my home stereo system? The guy at Radio Shack sold me an adapter for the older, larger headphone adapter on my stereo receiver with an ipod attachment on the other end. It doesn't work. Do I need to make special settings on the ipod? Should it work? I read elsewhere that I need a Y connector. Thanks for any help.

The headphone jak on your stereo is an output, not an input. You cannot route music into your stereo throughthe headphone jack.
You can get a cable that connect from the headphone output of the ipod to the stereo inputs on your stereo:

Can I play my xbox one through my Toshiba laptop?

can I play my xbox one through my Toshiba Laptop I have windows 8. I tried connecting my xbox one to my laptop through a HDMI cable and no picture came up on my laptop screen for my xbox one. wondering how to make this work.
would appreciate help on how to do this thanks.

Hi
As far as I know something like this is not possible. HDMI port is for signal output only. You cannot send audio and video signal into your notebook using HDMI port and use internal display for external devices.
