IPod Classic 160 GB doesn't work for audiobooks in BMW X3 F25

Hello
I have been owning a 160 GB iPod classic for a while now. I have newly acquired a BMW X3 (2012 Model, F25). The problem is that when listening to audiobooks, the iPod doubles or triples the speed (and pitch) when I return to the car after having parked. So it runs fine at first, then I stop and park the car and return and then it sounds like Donald Duck is reading to me ;-)
The car comes with the USB interface to which once can connect media players like the iPod. I am using the original BMW "Y-shape" cable that has once connection on the iPod that then splits into an USB and a 3.5mm jack. I also tried cables from Belkin and the cable that came with the iPod, but all to no avail.
It is not the Audiobook faster/slower function of the ipod that is activated because that would not change pitch, it's like "the record is turning too fast", you can see the seconds in the car's display movig much faster than at a second's pace. The iPod subsequently retains this increased speed even if not connected to the car anymore and can only be slowed down again by resetting it.
I onw an older iPod photo 80 GB which does not exhibit this behavior.
The iPod classic 160 is at the latest software level and so is the car.
Any ideas?
Regards
Chris

  • Is there a bluetooth adaptor for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?

    Is there a bluetooth adapter for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?  I have a bluetooth headset and I want to listen to FM radio on my iPod.
    Or is there a better way than to use an adapter in order to listen to  the radio on an iPod with a bluetooth headset?
    TIA!

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
    Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

  • I was given a used iPod, and the battery doesn't work for that long.

    I want to take it to the Apple Store and see if they can exchange it or give me a new battery, but the iPod isn't registered under my name. My brother said that I have to give the registered name, but I'm unsure what it is, because who I got it from had gotten it from another person. Is it necissary to change the registered name, and if so how do I do this?

    What apps are you using when your Macbook is running on batteries?
    What do you have loading in your login items?
    Open Activity monitor and see what's running under All Processes.
    Were you playing games when your Macbook is running on batteries?
    Did you turn off your bluetooth?
    Do you have anything hooked up to your usb ports?
    The above comments or questions factor in the way your battery last when using your Macbook under it's own power.

  • New iPod Classic 160 GB not read by MacBook

    My new iPod Classic 160 GB is not read by my MacBook.  It doesn't show up in Finder or in iTunes.  What can I do so my computer recognizes it?

    Swap to another USB 2.0 port and dont use any USB HUB. (only one of the Macbook USB port can be use for iPod Classic)
    If that doesn't work, use another  USB cable.
    When you connect to the Macbook USB port, the iPod screen should show this symbol.
    Battery charging (lightning bolt
    or
    If you get just the menu screen, it means there is no signal or power coming across the cable from the Macbook to the iPod.

  • Will charger that comes with iPhone 3GS charge my new iPod classic 160?

    I have an iPhone 3GS; which comes with a charger. I recently purchased a new iPod classic 160; which doesn't come with a charger.
    Will the iPhone charger charge my iPod without damaging it?
    It appears to work (shows it's charging), but I want to make sure they're compatible.
    Thanks.

    Yes, I have the same question- the old classic came with the charger (the rectangular white one). We travel alot and don't take our laptops with us so we need to charge ipods with chargers. So we can still use the one that works with our old classic or the new one, right?

  • Ipod Classic 160 6th g. doesn't sync w/Imac g5 non intel OS 10.4.11. This is a replacement for same ipod which was stolen recently. That pod worked fine with Itunes 9! Now this pod says it only works with Itunes 10.7. ***!!!! Why has Apple screwed up?

    My ipod classic 160 6th gen. was recently stolen. It had 3000 tunes on it and it synced perfectly with Itunes 9 on my Imac G5 non intel OS 10.4.11. So I recently bought same model and guess what, it doesn't sync at all. Now message says it only works with Itunes 10.7 and up. I certainly cant afford to buy a new intel based Mac and I really dont need a new pc. It feels like Apple has dropped the ball on its long time users and tough luck to you and all the $$$$$$$ spent on downloading songs and buying ipods over the years! I AM SO ANGRY THAT I CANNOT BRING MY MUSIC WITH ME ANYMORE. I dont know if there is any solution to this except being extorted to upgrade to new tech! I have been trying to get answers to this issue but nothing seems to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am not a tech genius so extremely techy solutions will be in vane.

    one more detail, after a restore, when I attempt to reload music to the ipod, if I try and move, say, 20 files, the transfer seems to work as it should but then stalls on the last file.  Eventually, the status will change to "Updates Files on (my ipod)" a and suggests the iPod is syncing  even though I have the auto sync feature turned off.
    This process eventually works itself out, and seems to take longer relative to the number of files I attempt to transfer.   Once done, howver, if I try and eject and dismount the iPod, iTunes stalls with the spinning pinwheel and I am warned that the iPod is syncing again with the spinning candy cane status bar.     Eventually thisd works itself out and the iPod dismounts from iTunes and the desktop and eventually the iPod is free to disconnect.
    Then if I try and play the music I just transfered, the iPod says there is no music loaded.
    Ideas?

  • My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode and won't turn off, itunes doesn't recognize it - ¿how can I make it work again?

    My iPod Classic 160 is in disc mode.  I responds to nothing.  iTunes doesn't recognize it.  It doesn't sync.  I've tried to restore and got error 1429.  Now it just stays in disc mode and won't turn off.  I'm keeping it connected to the charger so it doesn't go dead.  Is there anything I can do to resurrect my pod?

    To get out of disk mode do a iPod Hard Reset.
    Toggle the Hold switch till you dont see the red mark.
    Press Menu and Center buttons simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and itunes 11.0.1. Itunes won't sync when I try to sync several cds I've downloaded into itunes. If I try to sync the same cds one at a time, it works. What's happening? What's the fix?

    I have a  sync problem when trying to sync multiple cd's I've downloaded into itunes, at the same time. I have an ipod classic 160 GB, and use itunes 11.0.1. If I delete the songs from itunes, reload the same discs one at a time, and sync after each individual cd, all goes well. What's going on and what's the fix?

    Thanks for your help Jim
    I found some info in other threads and read that some people had re-downloaded, re-installed and were now working OK. Unfortunately some others went through that pain and still had the issue.
    I found a reference to deleting the file 'iTunes Library.itl' and copying back the previous version of that file.
    I tried this and when I fired up iTunes I noticed there was a window pop up saying iTunes was updating the database to version 11. I then re-imported the CD and now the songs are there in iTunes, the artwork is there and song titles etc. The songs play and everything appears normal again.
    It would appear that my issue was the database was not correctly upgraded correctly durting the original upgrade, this theory is to some extent supported by the fact some people have had success re-installing version 11. This also suggests the upgrade process may be a little flaky.
    Anyway thank you to the person suggesting downgrading the 'iTunes Library.itl' file, sorry I did not take a note of your name.
