Ipod connection to Mazda 3

Hi everyone,
When I brought my Mazda 3 back in 2009 I got the option of the ipod cord being preinstalled in my glove box.
I could plug in my ipod, its showed on the screen as being connected and pressed AUX and away it would play. I had no problems with it.
About 2 months ago I plugged my ipod in and nothing! It shows as charging the ipod but does not play the music.
I tried my girlfriends ipod and it works fine!
So, there must be a problem with my ipod.
I have updated to the latest itunes and done a restore of the ipod but still no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thank you for your help.

I have found my composite to AV plug cable that came with the TV.

TS3581 iPhone 4S - The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

The XCarlink iPhone/iPod accessory for Mazda Bose autochangers is functioning differently after iOS 5.1. The Shuffle function no longer works and it plays Albums or Genius Playlisys only (not self-made playlists). Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Previously, the iPod function enabled one to see the track that was playing and control playback (such as repeat or shuffle) via the iPhone screen. Now all I see is an "Accessory Connected" message.

Somewhere in there, is there a question for us, your fellow users in these user to user support forums?

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

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.

Steven: Follow this link....it will guide you through the 5R's. I would recommend that you RESTORE your iPod to factory defaults. NB this will wipe the iPod of everything so that you can start a fresh.

See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
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:

paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port

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!
Dave
iMac Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

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.

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.

Ipod connected to car iPod ready deck

I have an iPod that is connected to my car iPod ready stereo. It is connected via an aftermarket product. My question is, is it ok to leave myiPod connected 24x7 in my car? Will it drain the battery faster? Will it damage my ipod?

It depends. On mine, when the car unit is turned on, the iPod battery receives a charge and does so whilst it's in use. When the car unit is turned off and I leave the iPod connected, it shuts down, so according to the manufacturer of my car head unit, it's ok to leave the iPod connected 27/7. Does yours do the same? You should check with the maker of your car unit.
However, I don't leave my iPod in the car 24/7 for other reasons, one of which is that I don't want it to be stolen. Also so it's not subject to temperature extremes.

Ipod connected with VW part to my car: right speakers crackles with music

It only crackles/buzzes with music and not in silent gaps and only my right speakers. I have checked and my my PC files play without any noise. My ipod plays fine with headphones and via hifi connect. My ipod connects at the base with the VW radio/cd player. My VW radio /CD plays correctly with radio and with CD so i presume its not my right speaker. All music is from CD sources and none from any downloads. NOte also it is the same whether the car is running or not. SO does anyone know why the right channel/right speaker has a crackle/buzzing when i listen to my ipod in my car. VW have not come with anything. I am new to the ipod. Any one have any ideas please?

Do you get normal stereo sound from your Nano when using headphones? If so then the problem is not with the iPod but with the car's sound system, or more likely the cable connecting the two.
