IPhone interference messing up other iPod weirdly.

Ok, I'm used to the interference with the iPhone on speakers around the house and car... And I can deal with it..
But its weird, I was listening to my regular 60 Gb Video Ipod just now thru headphones... The iPhone was about a foot away, and I heard the interference sound on the headphones, but as the buzzing kicked in, i looked at the iPod and the volume indicator started fluctuating up & down and eventually blasted the volume in the earphones (ouch!)...
I didn't expect that the interference would affect the controls of the iPod.. but it did... It happened in the car the other day (where the volume control went out of control), but I didn't make the connection as the iPhone wasn't visible - altho it was nearby in my jacket pocket (less than 2 feet away)
Anyone else notice this? I'm kinda glad theres an immediate cause and that my Video iPod isn't crapping out like I thought it was...

Nextel is real bad due to the technology being used.
As for FCC, if you read all your electronic devices, they all have to say they will accept interference. With most cell technology, it usually just impacts speakers. Nextel however the way it works has a lot more stuff going on with them and cause more. I am surprised at how much the iPhone makes though as the Edge (freqency, etc) network really shouldn't cause all that much.

My Airport wireless is working for my two MacBook Pros and my daughter's iPod, but our iPad, Iphone and other iPod all say they need to set up an Airport Base Station but do not have the proper software. I'm not sure what to do to remedy this situation.

This might sound like a silly question, but are you sure the iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch etc.) are still trying to connect to the same network from your own Airport router, as the MacBook Pros are? If you tap Settings on them, is the network name next to where it says Wi-Fi, the right one?
I've got a weird feeling that either in the past couple of days, a neighbour got an Airport device and hasn't set it up yet (causing your iOS devices to try to help), or that perhaps there's an issue with your Airport router and they're noticing it and trying to help out, while for whatever reason, Airport Utility isn't opening itself on the MacBook Pros like it normally should if there's a problem.
If you open Airport Utility on one of the MacBook Pros, does it report any problems with your Airport device, and can you view/edit the settings on it?

Does the radio accessory work with other iPods or with iPhone?

Does the radio accessory work for the ipod nano with other iPods or with iPhone?

Are you talking about the built in Radio on the Nano? If so, the answer is no.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

My ipod works fine, but won't connect to my car anymore. It did for two years, I have had the car checked out, and the car works with others' ipods and iphones.

My Audi is set up to be iPod compatible. For the first two years of the cars' life, my ipod worked fine. When it went out, I had the dealer replace the connection wire and check the system. My car now works fine with iphones and others' ipods, but not mine. I tried rebooting it and powering down, but nothing has worked to get the car to recognize the ipod. Would really appreciate anyone's thoughts on the matter. Many thanks.

So you tried everything here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

TS3297 I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place.

I have an iPhone and recently bought an iPod 4 touch what l am using the same apple ID for. The iPod won't let me download songs from iTunes it is asking me security questions which I don't think I have put answers to in the first place, because of this it won't let me buy any songs on iTunes

It's probably asking you to verify the security code found on the back of your credit card.

you can connect the iPhone to your mac and import those iPhone photos and videos to iPhoto assuming you have iPhoto. You can create a folder and export all those photos to the Finder. Keep safe somewhere. Also keep the iPhoto library for safe keeping. When you restore your iPhone you can sync all those photos back to the iPhone. so you will lose nothing. Just remember when you export from iPhoto select jpeg for photos and original for videos taken with the iPhone.

How do I get my iphone to work like an ipod touch.

Bought a used iphone to use as an ipod touch. I think it was jailbroken, because when I updated itunes, my ihpone will not work anymore. What do I do?

You need a sim card installed in any iPhone in order to restore it in iTunes. You'll need a sim card from the carrier the phone is locked to or the last carrier the phone was used with. The sim card need not be activated, but it must be valid & present.

TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1. I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

My touch screen on my ipod Nano, Gen 6 has gone completely white. It had started going white the day before. I tried resetting it but to no avail. Does anyone know how I could fix this. Also I have 2 other ipods that I am no longer able to sync. It comes up with a message (best I can remember) something to the effect that my itunes version is not compatible with my ipod. Please help. I'm tired of buying new ipods when the new hasn't even worn off of them!!!
Thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
