Ipod classic wont play when docked

i have a recently refurbed/replaced ipod classic thats was replaced by Apple when the battery went capput
i have since bought a dock which is compatible with classics
this dock will play my wifes ipod nano and her iphone 3GS
but will not play my ipod classic 160
it is on firmware 2.0.4 and itunes says is upto date
I have tried resetting ipod
I have turned dock on and off
I have restored my ipod and reinstalled all my files
i have contacted the dock manufacturer and state it is not their fault
how do i get this to work ?
I have since tried it on another dock on my DAB radio and wasnt recognised on that either

Wow, ive been having the same problem for a month now. It the car the music started flickering or whatever, then all of a sudden audio completely stopped from the ipod. Doesnt work with any type of speakers through the headphone jack and it doesnt play when docked on a ihome. It will still hold music, it looks like it playing because the time continues and the blue bar moves, but no audio.

The songs on my Ipod Classic wont play at all although you can feel and hear the machinery working hard. The tracks are not playng at all but you can see the Ipod rewinding them all and returning to the album. And this happens to the second IPOD I have!

First off, I would STRONGLY suggest that a external hard drive would make you life much easier by at least being able to back up your songs on the external drive for when you need them. Even if you don't want them in the iTunes library, you can have them all ready on the external to be re-added as needed. You can get 100's of gigs for under $100 shipped.
Anyway, since you used Yamipod, are all the songs back on the computer? If so, I would go ahead and restore the iPod, let iTunes then resync everything back to the iPod, then switch it back to manual and see if the restore and resync clears up the issue.

IPod classic wont play 3rd party dvd player with apple composite cable

I want to play the videos in my iPod classic 120GB(MB526LL) on my Phillips DCP750 dvd player. I am using the Apple Composite cable which I brought in the spring of 2008 with the Apple Universal Dock (MB125G) and they will not play. When I tried to just use the cable with the Phillips I received the error message “ TV Out Enabled Please Connect Video Accessory “ so I brought the dock Using the dock I do not get the message. Instead the audio comes through the headphones on my iPod but no video on the dvd player nor on the iPod. I have the iPod settings to TV out, screen standard and PAL since I am in the UK. Is it possible that my cables are too old and do not have the chip that I have read about? Should I be using the component cable rather than the composite? I have tried to find the older firmware prior to 1.0.2 but can’t. Is it worth my while to make an appointment with my local Apple store and take cables, player, dock and iPod to the Genius bar? If anyone has had this problem and figured it out could they explain to me step by step what I should be doing. I hate the idea of having to spend more money on cables and will probably just continue to watch videos on the ipod or else on the Macbook if I can not figure out a work around.
Thanks in advance.

I'm so frustrated that this new iMAC doesn't have a program to do this.
Tell Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
IDVD is included with iLife 11 ON DISK.
For making movies there is no alternative or substitute for iDVD. (Buy it while you still can.)
I've tried Burn and Toast and many others, iDVD is by far the best.

For the best quality, I use iMovie 06 with iDVD 11.

My ipod classic wont play movies

my dad said i could have his old ipod 5th gen (classic) and i downloaded one of my videos on to it and when i play it it only plays the sound and shows a frame of the movie like music artwork the same happens with music videos

If these are movies and music videos from the iTunes Store, I don't think they play on the 5th gen iPod (the first "video iPod"). The 5th gen iPod was released before the iTunes Store started selling video content. Unlike songs from the iTunes Store, the commercial video content (Movies, TV Shows, Music Videos) have DRM (copy protection). My understanding is that the 5th gen iPod does not have a "chip" needed to play the protected content.
Also, the 5th gen iPod can generally play video content with resolution up to 320x240. Later iPods (that play video) can go up to 640x480. So, that may be why it plays the audio but not the video on the ones you tried. It's the first iPod to play videos; it's more limited in what it can do.

I pod classic wont play in stereo

Cds transferred to itunes then onto ipod classic wont play in stereo via headphones

Do songs play in stereo in your iTunes? If not, are you importing the songs in mono? (Check Edit/Preferences/General/Import Settings - there are two settings boxes, Import Using and Setting. If the Setting is "custom" look in there and make sure Channels is set to "Auto" or "Stereo".)
Have you tried the headphones in another player? What happens if you do?
Is there a stereo/mono switch on your headphones?
Are the songs in mono on the CD?
Is the headphone plug pushed fully into the jack?
When you say mono, do you mean sound from only one speaker or do you mean "exactly the same sound from each speaker" so that there is no left/right sound?

HT1339 ipod classic doesnt play

My 80gb ipod Classic wont play. The music syncs with my itunes and it all appears to be there, but when I click on a song to play it, nothing plays. I hear a small (only can hear it of you put your ear to it) high pitched whirring and ping sound as if its trying to do something and keeps repeating the process. Any ideas how I can get past this?
I've tried restoring it and I get a 1413 eror message. I've tried installing the new versions of ITunes and we're all up to date.

I assume you have tried everything in this article?
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

I Ipod class wont play TED and other video podcasts. The genious bar could not figure out the problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem.

My Ipod classic wont play TED, The Grid, Techzilla and other video podcasts (but not all video podcasts). The genious bar could not figure out the problem. Instead, the Apple store gave me credit towards a new classic, which produced the same problem. This problem is not isolated to a single computer. Secondly, the convert to ipod version feature in Itunes does not resolve the problem. Lastly, I tried restoring the ipod to no avail. I've heard this is a video codec problem.

See this extensive older thread on the issue.

I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows7 and now albums added post udgrade wont play when added to ipod.

Hi
I have just upgraded to the new version of itunes on windows 7. I have just added 8 albums (Mp3 format) to my itunes library, synced with my Ipod classic and my wifes ipod nano, the albums have transferred to the devices but wont play when selected. Yet they will play in itunes.
When I select the album on the ipod, it opens up as normal but when you press play nothing happens other than a wining sound from the hard drive of the ipod.
My itunes library is a mix of itune purchases and mp3 purchases and this is the first time I have experienced this issue
Hopefully there is a simple explanation to this

It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

My music wont play when i put my iphone4s on a dock or in my car but pandora will play

my music wont play when i put my iphone4s on a dock or in my car, it says "accessory connected". Pandora will play fine though. help

W1$C,
Do you even know what you're talking about? Instead of going from post to post giving wrong information and overusing your exclamation point key, do NOT answer if you have no idea about what you're talking about.
Bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatible with all other iterations of bluetooth and has absolutely nothing to do with the problem the OP is having.
You might also want to purchase a dictionary and read up on the difference between "firmware" and "malware". If you continue spew incorrect information, I will report you to the moderators to have your account removed.

How can I set my Ipod Classic to play the next podcast rather than repeating same one

I have several episodes of a podcast on my Ipod Classic. I would like to set it so that when one finishes, the next episode starts. How can I do this?

As you may have found out, the iPod Classic will play Podcast episodes in reverse order if you let it simply play from the programme's episode list.
The solution is to create a Playlist with the epsiodes in the order you want them to play. You can either create a Playlist in iTunes and Sync it to the iPod, or create an On-The-Go Playlist on the iPod itself. Make sure that shuffle is turned off, because if it is on, the Playlist will stop at the end of the first episode.
Oh, and to stop it repeating the same one, turn off the repeat feature too.
