IPod connected to auto

I have an iPod Classic and want to connect to my car stereo using the auxiliary jack. The problem is with the iPod to max and the car stereo to max, I just about have a decent volume for sitting in the parking lot with the engine off. I went to the dealer and he could plug his Shuffle in and crank it and using his cable, mine still won't drive it. I have no problem with my headphones, I even set the volume limit so I wouldn't accidently bust a drum. I'm using a standard mini cable purchased from Griffin and stated to be for iPod.

We used his cable and the results with my unit were the same as with my own cable. The one I have is brand new, but I thought about going to RS and pick up another one. If that doesn't help I'll just resign myself to missing out on using that feature.
Thanks for the input.

Vista32/launch iTunes without ipod connected ?

Every time I click on iTunes icon without ipod connected it says 'please wait while Windows configures iTunes' Then it gets thru about 75% of a loading bar and I get told to restart my system for the configuration changes made to iTunes to take effect.
I click Yes to restart then explorer pulls up my pc and hard drive files. The PC restarts and I'm back to square 1 again with no itunes loading. Try the process again and it all re-occurrs. Why will iTunes not start properly without my ipod attached?

Something is triggering auto repair because the install did not complete properly.
As a temporary work around try creating a new desk top icon for iTunes.
Go to Program Files\iTunes, right click on iTunes.exe and select Send to desktop>Create short cut. This short cut may work.
To fix the real problem look in the event viewer after this problem has occurred.
Right click on My computer and choose manage. You should see Event Viewer in the left hand pane. You want application.

Whether or not I will be able to tell you what to do with the result is anyone's guess.

Odd iPod connection conundrum

A few days ago, my iPod connected to my iMac via FireWire just fine. iTunes detected it and auto-updated it as it was supposed to, the iPod charged as it was supposed to, and everything was fine and dandy.
Now, only one of those two things happens. The iPod charges, but does not show up in Finder or iTunes. I have tried the first 4 of the 5 Rs, so to speak, but I cannot restore the iPod as all of the sites I've found say that I need to be able to see it in iTunes to do so. I'm fairly sure that it's not a problem of a bad cable or FireWire port, because the iPod can still draw power from the connection.
I haven't found anything else on the boards or the support page that has helped, but if I've overlooked something, please link me.
Thanks!

It probably is the Firewire ports since a locked up port will still have power, just no data transfer. Do you have other FW devices you could try to check?
The good news, in a twisted sort of way, is that Macs have a tendancy to lock up the FW ports so they don't work but can be fixed by resetting them.
See, most modern Macs, even when you power them "off" still have power applied to their mother/logic boards and this includes the Firewire chip set. Sometimes the FW chipset gets into an unknown state and sits there locked up. Even when you shut down the computer, the chip set is still powered and so still locked up.
So to reset, shu down your computer and then unplug it's power cord completely from the wall or power strip. Now unplug all the other cables except for keyboard and mouse. Let it sit unplugged for a good minute or two to allow the internal capacitors to discharge and all power to drain away.
Now plug the power cord back in and restart the Mac. Now reattach the iPod and see if you see it again and it syncs ok now.

I found an ipod in an auto in mumbai.

i found an ipod in an auto in mumbai..cant find any info of the owner..anyone looking for it plz mail me
<Email Edited By Host>

Also if the iPod is not locked with a password, go to Utilities > Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar to see the owner's email address(es) so that you can contact him (her). If it is locked, you can take it to a place with free wi-fi. If the owner had set up Find my iPod in iCloud, s/he may have sent a message that you could read after the iPod connects to a wi-fi source.

USB Device for IPOD not recognized by Windows, whether ipod connected or no

During the past few days I have received a pop up error message from (I would think) Windows that the USB device is not recognized. I have the USB plug for the ipod connected (as always)but the ipod isn't even connected. It keeps popping up like every few seconds that the usb device is not recognized.
When I attach the ipod itself, the ipod is recognizing it because it powers up. But, it took 10 times just to get the ipod to recognize through itunes. It updated, then immediately upon completion, windows again starting giving repeated error messages that the usb device wasn't recognized.
I have downloaded the newest itunes but I had it on my system for 4 days with no problems whatsoever. I don't think that's it. No other system changes.
I've deleted my temp files and cache. Also did a "disk clean up" and "defrag." It's still doing it.
Any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem. Ever since I upgraded to version 7, iTunes & my PC no longer recognise my iPod, and it therefore won't sync.
It's not the USB port (other devices work in it), I rebooted my iPod and re-installed iTunes, I've tried stopping and starting the iPod Service (but can't see my iPod in My Computer). When I run the Diagnostics it says iPod connection failed. I've even bought a new USB cable but that doesn't work either.
This is driving me up the wall. Is there a glitch with iTunes 7?
Can anyone help me out?? Thanks

How do I select which bluetooth speakers to play out of? My iPod connects to both kitchen and living room speakers. My old iPod had a selection icon on the now playing screen, but my new one doesn't.

Hi,
Our setup
A new iPod Touch 5 with iOS 8.3.
Living room speakers that use a Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter.
Kitchen speakers that use an AmazonBasics Bluetooth 4.0 Audio Receiver.
The iPod connects to both but always wants to play to the kitchen. To play in the living room, we have to unplug the power to the kitchen speakers. Bluetooth settings screen doesn't let you select between Bluetooth connections. All I seem to be able to do is forget the connection.
We also have an old iPod Touch (not sure of the generation, but it has iOS 6.1.6). On that one, there is a little icon on the now playing screen that would open a little pull-down menu to let you select which Bluetooth connection to use for playing audio.
I don't see the "select output" icon on the new now playing screen
Jimmy
PS the iPod seems very aggressive in connecting. I hear the living room speakers activate when my wife gets out of the car in the driveway. Then as she comes into the living room, the sound switches to the kitchen.

Thanks, this was the clue I needed to figure it out.
From Settings you can pull up Control Center.
In Control Center you can enable "Access from within Apps" (also "Access from Lockscreen")
Now when I'm playing music, I can swipe up from the bottom and a little control center window slides up. Neat - this is new since my old iPod. On this window, the name of the current Bluetooth connection appears. Tap on that, and a list of connected Bluetooth items appears. I just tap on the one I want to connect to and I am now playing through the speakers I want.

"No iPod Connected" in iTunes under Edit - Preferences

I bought this 20gb clickwheel iPod from a friend as a Christmas gift for my boyfriend... I'm trying to install it on my PC first so I can put some songs on it so it is ready to go when I give it to him.
I do not have the original software that came with it when it was new.
I first plugged it in to my PC, and it just said it was charging. It then told me to go to www.apple.com/ipod/downloads to get the software updated.
Since I didnt have the software cd, i thought i'd need that before i got the updater - how can it update software if I never had it to begin with? But no - I called Apple and the guy said all I'd need is the latest iTunes and the software updater. So i updated iTunes, downloaded the updater...
Then, the ipod said "Do Not Disconnect" for about 30 minutes after the updater said "(Up To Date)" beside Version 3.1. In addition to that, the little picture of the ipod on the left hand side of that update screen is a pic of the U2 iPod, but I don't actually have the U2 iPod. Also, the serial number shown is the same as the one hard-coded in my iPod, so I have no idea what is up with that.
Then, said i clicked "Reformat". Then I Unplugged it and plugged it into the wall. I chose "english" and waited a minute... it didn't seem to want to do anything else, so i plugged it back into my computer. Same exact thing, with the picture of the U2 iPod in the window. Except this time, when I open My Computer, it says "IPOD" under the e: drive, whereas before it just said "removable disk". Also, in iTunes, under Edit -> Preferences and the iPod tab, it says "no ipod connected". I have no idea what to do next.

I just want to clarify as well, that there is no mention of an iPod on the left-hand side of iTunes under "Source". Also there is no icon on the bottom right side of iTunes so that I can disconnect safely. It is pretty much leaving me no options for disconnecting. I just tried reformatting again, to no avail.

Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:

IMac will not boot with iPod connected

Hello everyone
I have a new iMac Core 2 Duo 17 inch 2.0 ghz and it seems to have a problem starting up when a 5th generation iPod is connected to the computer. When the computer is turned on with the iPod connected, the blank grey screen comes on, yet the apple logo or the spinning startup wheel does not appear. However, if the iPod is unplugged, it will startup as usual. Otherwise, there are no other problems with the computer or iPod.
I have attempted the following to resolve the issue, yet none of the aforementioned troubleshooting ideas have worked
- Reset the PRAM and the SMU
- Run Apple Hardware Test with no probems
- Reinstalled Mac OS Tiger and applications
- Reset the iPod and reimported songs onto iPod
- Enabled and disabled hard disk mode for iPod
I know that I can simply let the iPod be disconnected at startup; however, I feel like this should not have to be done with a new Apple product. Please let me know any other advice or if anyone has experienced the same issue.
Thanks!

Have you reset your Startup Disk preference? If not, do so to see if that resolves your issue. It sounds as if your iMac is looking to try and boot from the iPod's disk.

ITunes 7.0.1.8 totally freezes when iPod connected

I installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 a few days ago, and today I'm having huge problems with it. Just yesterday I managed to upload a large set of videos to my iPod, and today, if I run iTunes without my iPod connected, I have no problems. However, when I plug my iPod in, it runs until it recognizes the iPod and displays the menu for it, and at that moment, the program entirely freezes. I can't push any buttons. It doesn't even manage to update the screen if I alt-tab between it and another window. And it uses 70% or more of my processor while not actually seeming to do anything.
I tried restarting my computer and my iPod. No good. The iPod is a 60 GB iPod video, and I have it set for manual management.
Dell 4550 Windows XP

As it turns out, mine just needed about ten minutes to sit there and think after I plugged the iPod in. Maybe yours is the same way. It's not acceptable, but you can get to your iPod if you have the patience.
I've also noticed that it feels the need to reanalyze the gapless playback information for all my songs after the first time I add something to the iPod after I plug it in. I think it might have been doing that when I first plugged it in also, and just wasn't updating the screen.
