IPod - BMW Connector - Mine just stopped working???

My factory BMW/Ipod connector has worked perfectly up until last week (over 1yr). I don't recall updating any software on either my ipod or my itunes software recently.
It just stopped working. When it is plugged into the connector in my vehicle, it is recognizing the power source as it is charging the ipod, however my car won't recognize the ipod anymore.
If anyone has any suggestions on troubleshooting or history of the same thing happening, I would appreciate it!
Thanks!

The same thing happened to me. I have a 40G click wheel model, and it suddenly stopped working. I took it in to MBW, and they said it was my Ipod. But the Ipod works in every other way. I also called BMW, but no help there either. So I tried my daughters 10G dock connector Ipod, and it works! So, I went on ebay and bought a 20G dock connector Ipod, and use it only in my car. Not a great solution, as BMW and Apple should work out this bug. But until then, I will use my backup Ipod, as it is only solution I could come up with. Hopefully it does not also stop working some day!!

    when do IOS5 come out? My headphones broke so is there a way i can get yall to send me new ones. mine just stopped working.

    Ios 5 comes out Wednesday.
    We are iphone users just like you.  We can send you nothing.
    The headphones are covered by the same warranty as the iphone.  You could contact Apple and get them replaced, if they are defective.

  • My iPod 5th Generation charger just stopped working??

    Both my mother and I have iPod 5's and we've only had them maybe 6 months. I've never had any problems with the charger I have which is the white regular one that came with the iPod when I bought it. Today, when I got home from school, I tried to charge my iPod, but it simply wouldn't charge with the wall adapter. I then tried to plug it in to the computer and it still wouldn't work. I then thought it was the charger, so I tried my spare charger, yet it refused to work as well. I also tried it on my mothers iPod and it would not work either. The cables are not broken, I have just used them today. Also we thought it could have been the wall adapter and we used the standard white one by Apple, yet when we plugged it into the wall it said it was not compatible. I don't understand why they would just stop working out of nowhere, when nothing has been done to render them from working.

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable. Yes, try another one that is known to work

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • So my first iPod 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 months! Please help!!!!

    My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!

    Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
    If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.

  • Mac book pro charger is there a fuse as mine just stopped working?

    Just plugged my new mac book pro into the mains and the charger sparked and I assume blew a fuse. Does anyone know where the fuse is? This is a UK computer not US. Thanks

    What is the correct fuse raiting for a mac book pro charger? My fuse blew at a practice room and the practice room guy replaced it with one lying around which then blew straight away so I'm thinking (hoping) he swapped it with one with the wrong rating. But now I don't have the original to check the rating!
    Thanks

  • Mini Just Stopped Working

    I sat down the other day, and my display was on sleep mode. So I moved the mouse to wake it up, and nothing happened. Typed on the keyboard...nothing. Shut the mini off in the back, and turned it back on, and the light in the front came on, but no boot up sound, no chime, and nothing coming through on the display. I hooked up a different display, and still nothing. I unplugged it and let it set for a while and tried it again. Still nothing. I didn't change/download/update anything recently, so I'm really at a loss. Any ideas/suggestions?

    Is it a PPC or Intel based Mini (update your profile so we know what type you have)
    ~ If it is the Intel version, you can try resetting the SMC

  • My ipad mini just stopped working and will not turn on again.

    I tried holding the home and power buttons, but one of two things happen; either the white apple comes up (and shuts off) or the screen goes to the "iTunes" screen (and shuts off).  What gives?  It's charged to approximately 90% and I am right in the middle of an awesome

    Ok, it is charged enough and tries to reboot but gives up.  Try plugging it in with the wall charger and then try the reboot and see if it progresses past the logo.  If it still won't restart, take it to an Apple store genius bar for testing by the techs.

  • Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

    Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

  • My Ipod just stopped working, the screen got black and now I can't open it. I have tried to charge it but it doens't work.

    My Ipod touch 5 just stopped working. The screen got black and now I can't use it or start it.
    I have tried to charge it but it doens't start and when I tried to connect it with my computer it didn't work either.
    I saw that you could hold down the "home" button and the "power" button at the same time but my home button doens't work so I can't do that.
    Is there any other way I can fix it or do I have to go to an apple store? 

    Try:
    Turn on without Home/Power Button

  • My ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    my ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    Most likely, water damage.
    You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
    If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
    Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)

  • My ipod touch 5th generation keeps wifi signal for 10-30 minutes and then just stops working.

         I've had my ipod for about a month now and it worked fine up until this week.
    This week I noticed probelms with the wifi. I would be just on facebook or browsing the web and the wifi would just stop working. Every time I turned wifi off and the on again it would give me about 5-10 more minutes of wifi before I had to do it again. I've never expeiranced this with my other 4th generation or 3rd generation ipod touches. The wifi itself is not the probelm because it works just fine on my laptop. Today I updated my software and the probelm was not resolved.
         I need help sould I got to the Apple store and have them check it out?

    Does the iPod have the problem with other networks?
    Do other devices work OK?
    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.
    - Power off and then back on the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - DOes the router have the latest firmware?
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • What can I do if my ipod just stopped working?

    what can I do if my ipod just stopped working? I just purchased it on Aug 23, 2013. I was jogging with it then it just shut down and have not been able to turn it back on.

    It could be, since Apple is not liable for user negligence. However, there is no way to definitevely say yes or no on these forums. Apple will run a diagnostic on the device and draw their own conclusions. I would advise not telling them that part though. Best of luck.
