I cannot play music when connect to stereo via 30-pin connector. Help?

Since I first upgraded my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to iOS 4.x, I cannot play music when connect to external speakers via the 30-pin connector. I've tried several different speaker systems, but none work. My iPod freezes after making my song selection and doesn't do anything until after rebooting. Even then, it just goes through the same cycle if I select another song. My iPod is 100% functional until I try to plug it in to an external speaker system.
Keep in mind that it worked up until iOS 3.1.3.

Sounds like iOS 4 broke the compatibility with your accessory, something that sometimes happens with major OS changes. Your only hope is to see if the accessory manufacturer has an update to make it compatible with iOS 4, or downgrade your Touch back to 3.1.3.

  • How do I configure my bluetooth on my iPod Touch 4G to automatically play music when connected and to connect as media not a phone?

    Is there any way to have my iPod Touch automatically start playing music when it connects to my car stereo via Bluetooth?
    Also, I would like the option to connect to my car stereo as media only and not as a phone. My car stereo supports the ability to connect to a phone via Bluetooth simultaneously with another device such as my iPod Touch as a media source. The problem is that if my iPod Touch connects first it will force out my phone from connecting via Bluetooth since it connects as a phone as well as media. I have been able to make this whole setup work by turning both my phone's Bluetooth off and my iPod Touch's Bluetooth off. Then turning my phone's Bluetooth on first and allowing it to connect. Then changing the Bluetooth option on my phone to only connect as phone. Then turning my iPod Touch's Bluetooth on and that works just fine. Both devices respond perfectly but for that to work I have to do that process everytime I get into my car. Is there anyway to set this up so I don't have to go through all of this hassle?
    Btw my iPod Touch has been updated to version 4.3.5.
    Any suggestion, comments, or concerns would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Jon

    If you store itunes andn iphoto library on the TC you could be in trouble. The TC has no auto backup mechanism.. it is simply unable to work as a true NAS. It has no media servers. It is slow.. it is very easy to corrupt libraries especially in connection over wireless. In general we recommend people do not do this.
    If you go ahead anyway.. apple have specific instructions for moving the libraries.. do follow it.
    I am not sure if the SONOS can play directly from itunes library or has to use an itunes server.. remember the TC is a dumb as a board router with no media servers. Apple TV also need an active itunes to work AFAIK.. you cannot play files.. unless you JB the ATV.
    Also be careful as SONOS does not like apple names.. use all SMB compatible names.. short, no spaces pure alphanumeric.
    Finally yes,.. at last .. you can extend the wireless in the TC using another apple router.. you cannot extend wireless using any other brand.

  • Cannot play DVDs when connected to TV

    Hi guys,
    I have a first generation Titanium PowerBook G4 (400MHz). Still using System 9.2.
    Anyway, the DVD player works fine in the notebook by itself. When I connect to my Sony Wega through a S-video cable, I can see the desktop but the DVD player won't fire up. Keeps giving me an error message about thr video card not supporting the resolution or something like that (Sorry, I cannot be more precise. It happened late last night).
    This is the first time I have tried to connect the Powerbook to a TV, so I don't know whether I am doing anything wrong. I tried playing around with the resolution, but that did not seem to solve the problem. Also any recommendations of what audio cord I should be using to connect to my audio inputs on the TV.
    Thanks in advance.
    Rajneesh

    Rajneesh,
    I have tried to use the Titanium Powerbook G4, running 9.1, to play DVDs on a TV. One of the posts said this may not be a good idea, so maybe you don't want to do this, but here is my experience.
    I was using my mother's computer, and I don't have it with me, so I can't double-check that what I think worked was actually what did work, but I can tell you what I did and how far I got with it.
    Like you, I was able to get the desktop on the TV. I could either mirror it (so the laptop and the TV had the same desktop) or use it the TV to extend the Mac desktop.
    I got the message you mention when I fired up the DVD. I trried changing the resolution, and I thought I got it to
    work that way, but later it seemed not to work. Then I got it working by turning off the mirroring. So when the two screens were separate, not mirrored, the DVD would play.
    I wish I could tell you that it played on the TV, but it didn't. Because my mother was so impatient with me and the computer at this point, I gave up fiddling and we just watched the DVD. But I think that with a little more fiddling, I could have moved the DVD picture over to the TV (for example, maybe I could have just grabbed it and moved it to the TV).
    Good luck to you,
    Nancy

  • No audio when connected to stereo

    My iPhone 5c on iOS8.1 will not play music when connected to the audio output from our stereo or iHome docking station.  My husband has the same phone and his plays fine.  The speakers on the phone work and I get sound though headphones.  I've tried powering off/on and resetting my phone.  Is there a setting that is preventing sound when connected to audio output cable?

    It would be helpful to know how the HDMI cable is attached to your MacBook Pro cos my MBP C2D 17" has no HDMI connector.
    Perhaps you would be kind enough to give us the complete setup you're using, then we may be able to offer some assistance.

    Need some help! My iPhone 4 cannot play music through it's built in speaker, only with headphones. I also cannot adjust volume, it only shows "ringer". I really do not know when it starts. I already clean the jack and dock,reset it and still cannot be fixed. I updated it to IOS 7.1.1 recently only, does it have connection with the inconvenience I am experiencing right now? What should I do? Thanks!

  • Cannot play music over bluetooth on BMW Connected system

    I tried to connect my iPhone 6 with iOS 8.1.2 (haven't updated to latest yet) to my fathers BMW system. It connects and pairs, and I can see my contacts and make calls, but I cannot play music. There is no option for anything regarding music or media, and simply playing something in the musicplayer on the iPhone while connected to the cars bluetooth only plays it using the phone speakers like normal.
    I have a bluetooth stereo in my kitchen that works as soon as I connect to it. Only have to start any media player and the sound goes over the bluetooth. What am I missing here?

  • IPhone cannot play music on computer when docked with iTunes

    Hey all,
    This is really troubling. I cannot play music on my iPhone through my computer in Windows via my iTunes.
    My home iTunes computer is MacOSX on the same computer. All of my work programs are in Windows Bootcamp. So in Windows mode, the songs appear to be gray, and cannot be clicked on (in iTunes and only on the iPhone). They are certainly locked. If I click on 'Manage Music Manually', a popup shows up asking me if I want to erase the iPhone and sync with the Windows itunes, which would be grim as all my music, videos, and everything is in MacOSX.
    I have been to the MacStore about this and they couldnt figure this out either. They think it might be a faulty phone.
    Has anyone heard of this and might know of a fix?
    Bill

    The iPhone won't play music through a computer's iTunes.
    You can use this cord http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN778LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyMQ to connect the headset jack to the computer's audio-in port.

  • I cannot play music on my iphone 5 since I updated iTunes.

    I have updated my mac and mac air on Friday.
    Now my ringtones and text tones are gone as well as I am unable to play any music that is on the phone.
    My car stereo can't play any music when connected to, and even the Bluetooth is not working.
    When I try to select a song goes on to the play mode and continuously skipping to the other songs without stopping.
    I have apple care for my phone but the call center is closed and I am going mad.
    What do I do know?  please help

  • "Cannot play video - The Connected display is not supported" error message using Netflix 5.0.2 on my iPad

    I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
    Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported".  If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
    Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video.  The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
    When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    This category is for iPod shuffle.  Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle?  If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
    There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
    Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
    All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
    Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

  • Doesn't play music when docked

    My iPhone 4 does not play music when docked on any type of docking station or when I plug it into my iTrip in my car. It still charges just fine, but immediately stops playing music when plugged in. When it is plugged into external speakers, it stops playing on its own speakers as well.
    I also have an unrelated problem that came up yesterday: my phone's power button is jammed up. I cannot even push it anymore. This is my 3rd iPhone in less than a year that has had this problem. I don't think I push the button very hard at all, not anymore than anyone else. What makes this happen, and can I get it fixed without paying out the *** and without taking it apart myself? I got my phone from Best Buy as I don't have an Apple store within 150 miles of me. I am currently using AssistiveTouch instead, which is just plain annoying. Please help with either problem if you can!

    Recently, I have the same problem but with my B&W Zeppelin, and it turned out it was the problem of B&W and has sent it for service.

    I found the problem. I had downloaded the iTunes 10.5.1. I did not restart the computer afterwards. When I restarted everything normalized.
