IPod Click Wheel (4th gen) won't work with new head unit

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right forum but... I just put a new head unit in our 2000 Mazda Miata. It's a JVC Arsenal KD-A806. I have tried using the front and back USB ports to connect the iPod and all I get is "reading" over and over and then "not support" on the head unit display. And the "do not disconnect" on the iPod. I've tried different cables and I know the head unit is ok because my husband's Samsung MP3 player works just fine. Is there something with the iPod that might not be up to snuff? I've confirmed via iTunes I have the latest software v3.1.1. It has about 4,000 songs on it.
Thanks in advance - I haven't been able to find any resolution anywhere else.

Mean to say KD-A805 (not 6) and I just found a link saying that you can't connect my iPod to this unit via USB....

Upgrading iPod Click Wheel (4th Gen) Version --- iPod Video Question

I have a two year old iPod that has no colour and a click wheel. For Christmas, i'm thinking about upgrading to an iPod video. I have over 500 songs and videos on iTunes, although i cannot play videos on my current iPod, and i was wondering..
If i get a new iPod video, is there any way to keep all of my old songs currently on my library and put them on my iPod video?

yes.. just plug in the new ipod to your computer and it will sync whats on your library to your new ipod.

My ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes, OSX

My 8gb ipod touch (4th gen) won't sync with itunes. Running itunes 11.4 on OSX 10.6.8
My touch was running fine until one day I found about 3gb occupied by 'other' space. I ended up restoring my ipod which took care of the problem, but created a new one in that the ipod will no longer sync anything from my itunes library. I have music set up to sync selected artists, and when I click the checkboxes to select my albums and artists to sync, the 'audio' bar fills up.
When I click 'apply', the 'starting sync' and progress bar pop up for like half a second then disappear. Same goes with photos, apps, podcasts, etc.

Verify that you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Try syncing using the manual method
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
Last, backup to iTunes and restore from backup, yes again

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with bluetooth audio receiver?

My ipod touch 4th gen won't pair with my aluratech istream universal bluetooth audio receiver. It automatically paired the first time I used it, but now will not pair. I removed the bluetooth receiver from the ipod because it kept saying make sure the receiver device is on and within range. Now it doesn't even detect the bluetooth receiver. Any ideas?

Thank you! We got the bluetooth receiver to use with our car stereo and our motorcycle stereo and were very frustrated when it quit working. Thank you for helping me solve the problem!

OK I think the problem is probably related to the platform swap and you may need your account re-set. Only Adobe staff can do that. You need to contact Adobe directly using the link below. Use the dropdown menu for boxes (1) & (2) to scroll down the list and choose:
1. Adobe Photoshop Elements
2. Adobe ID, and signing-in
3. Click on the blue button: Still need help? Contact us – then click the area marked chat 24/7, then click “start chat ”

IPod Touch no longer working with car Head Unit since update

Hi there, I have a problem with using my iPod Touch with my car's head unit.
I've been using my iPod Touch with the Alpine IDA X001 Head unit fitted in my car for the last 3 months without any problems, however I installed the latest software update for the Touch (v4.0) and now the head unit connects and then says no USB device. At first I thought it was the cable as the cable supplied with the head unit is pretty fragile, so I've replaced it with a new one but it still doesn't work.
I've tested with my iPod Nano and it works perfectly so its not a problem with the head unit or lead (I plugged the Touch in and it didn't work, plugged the Nano in and worked perfectly and then plugged the Touch in and didn't work).
Can anyone help or is it gonna be a case of Restoring the iPod Touch back to factory settings ????

I was also having this problem with my Kenwood car stereo. I went into the store and they did a complete restore. I didn't think it worked but the next time I plugged it into my usb to connect with my car stereo it worked. So you might try doing a restore.

Ipod nano 4th gen won't synch with windows 7

I recently reset my windows 7 laptop. Ever since, itunes has not been synching with my 4th gen ipod nano. The device is being recognised and charges, but music would not synch. This wasn't too much of an issue for a while. But today I wanted to update my music so i tried updating itunes and restoring my ipod to factory settings and seeing if that helped. it successfully wiped the device, but will still not upload music. Whenever I click synch I begins the process but immediately states the synch is complete even though no music has been added. So now I have an empty ipod which cannot have any music put on it.

You probably need to set up automatic syncing. If you do not set it up, it will still "sync" but it will sync nothing.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod so that you see its Summary settings screen (click the "device button" on horizontal bar). In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, click Music. To the right is the iPod's Music settings screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This enables automatic syncing for songs. Below that, if your entire iTunes library fits on your iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select what you want to sync from the lists below. On convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library with songs just for the iPod. Or you can use existing playlists. On the iPod's Music settings screen, find and select (checkmark) just those playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod with your selection(s) on the iPod's Music settings screen, and keeps it "in sync" automatically.

My ipod touch 4th gen dosen't work with my intempo speakers!

I got my speakers when that old square ipod nano came out. My speakers worked fine with that ipod. i just got a new ipod touch 4th gen and when i put it on my speakers it says "charging is not supported with this device" and when i play music it just plays through the built in speaker not the speakers its pluggen into
HOW DO I GET IT TO PLAY THROUGH MY SPEAKERS ITS SOOOO FRUSTRATING!!!!!

Some older accessories are not supported by the latest iPOd and some older ones with the latest iOS. Have you checked the manufacturer's website?

1st Gen iPod Nano won't work with new Nissan interface.

I just bought an 09 Nissan Cube that has the factory ipod interface where you can control everything through the steering wheel and radio, well my ipod has been great, yes old, but works great and always has in other cars such as the Scion xB I just traded in on it, using the same type of system.
Well, when I plug it into my new Cube, it charges fine, but just keeps saying "Ok to Disconnect" and goes back and forth to that and the 1st menu screen all the time.
I did a reset where you hold the middle button and the menu button for 6 seconds, but that did not fix it. I'm at a loss.
I know the interface works because we tried another newer ipod and my iphone works as well.
Any ideas? I don't want to spend the cash to buy another ipod.

Ah, i seemed to have fixed it! Well i've been trying for a few weeks now to sort this out and as soon as i put up a post it works. Oh well at least its working now. It seems like that the iPod needs to be playing BEFORE the iTrip is plugged in the turn it on.
I'll get me coat...

1st Gen iPod Mini won't work with new version iTrip

Hello all,
I cannot get my new iTrip (which connects to the bottom of the iPod) to work with my girlfriends iPod mini 1st generation. The new iTrip works fine on my video iPod but not on her mini.
We had the original iTrip and that worked fine but nothing is happening at all when the music is playing and the iTrip is connected. Anything i need to do or install to get this working? I have tried to search the discussions but failed to find a similar problem.
Any help or info will be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

4th gen won't work since installing 6th gen

Since Installing a 6th gen nano I can't get itunes to recognise a 4th gen nano which has not ben use for a while, any ideas

Hello Wendy,
What have you tried in terms of troubleshooting? Are you using the same cable as you are for the 6G Nano? Have you tried resetting the Nano with it still connected to your Windows computer? To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons togehter long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Do you see the device in Device Manager? For more help on determining if it shows there or not, see this article.

My ipod nano 7th gen won't sync with new itunes!

Ever since I have downloaded the new version of itunes, my ipod will no longer sync. Firstly, it wouldn't even be recognised on my desktop but I somehow managed to fix that and is now recongnised on computer. When I plug my ipod in it says its connected but now everytime i try to sync my ipod it comes up with the same message on itunes of 'an ipod has been detected, but cannot be indentified properly. Please disconnect an reconnect the ipod, then try again. If the problem persits, unintall and reintall itunes.' I have gone through all the support on the apple website, and uninstalled itunes numerous times and tried all usb ports to make sure there is no faults in that area but nothing seems to work. Just annoying how my ipod used to work perfectly fine before I downloaded the new version of itunes, thought updates were meant to improve the experience? Any help will be very much appreciated!

CORRECTION IT IS A 4TH GEN.
