Ipod cuts out (pauses) with fm transmitter

My ipod works absolutely fine until it's connected to an fm transmitter, and then it keeps cutting out. The music pauses and you have to press play again. It does this completely randomly, sometimes works fine for twenty minutes at a time, other times cuts out twenty times a song. I have all the latest updates, I've tried powering off the ipod completely, and restoring it. I've also used several different transmitters and they all do this. Any ideas?? So frustrating!!

there are a lot of different FM trasmitters.. My choice would be a kensington or belkin.. I have both and they work well.. Before you buy one in the description of the product it should tell you what model they will work with.. just make sure it will work with your nano.. do a google search on "fm transmitter UK" Im sure you will get a ton of options.

IPod cuts out

my two year old fifth generation 8gb ipod keeps cutting out. I get about six seconds of on time before it suddenly turns off and restarts. Its fully charged and only cuts out when the bottom of the scroll wheel is moved, but to play songs i need to use said portion of the wheel.
Help is apprecitated, thanks

Having this issue in two forms:
1. iPod is playing normally, randomly it pauses (like on CD players with no seek ahead protection during bumps), and it will begin to play again after a moment.
2. iPod is playing normally, randomly the screen goes blank and the song stops playing. I hit the middle button and it starts playing again.

Ipod cutting out

Even when the hold lock is on, my i-pod keeps cutting out. It is only three months old. Any ideas?

There is another thread in iPod Lounge that covers this problem. Towards the last page at the bottom (page 7) there is a solution that we have not heard before. It is about picking at a switch at the bottom of the jack connector. If it is depressed the iPod think that the jack is out and pauses. This will create a problem if this switch is faulty, or are depressed too much even when a jack is plugged in. By trying to raise this switch a little with a safety pin or the like the problem supposedly are solved.

Powering an IPod in a car with FM transmitter

I'm going to buy a video IPod for Christmas and one of the new ITrip LCD's that hook onto the dock of the IPod to transmit over an FM frequency (the new ITrip LCD's have gotten pretty good reviews). However, since it plugs into the dock, that limits me to charging it with my car lighter. I was told there is a USB mini B on the ITrip that I could use for power but am not sure how. Does anyone know of an IPod accessory or combination of accessories that I can use to power/charge from a mini-B USB to a car lighter?
Also, should I also get a normal dock or charger for my home? I'll probably only use the Ipod in my car so I don't want to buy an expensive dock station.

Look here.

How can I cut out paths with another path and just leave short paths (pic examples inside)

Ok, so we start with this... the "S" is a path (the "S" is just used for example here but could be a star, a heart or even something more complex.
Then I need to end up with this:
This was done with clipping mask but that only gives me the "look" I want, not the end results I want.
I need EACH of those lines to be an independant path that can be manipulated individually later. So like the 4th row from the bottom would be two separate paths.
Does this make sense?
What is the best way to achieve this?

JustyCase,
With the horizontal paths on top, you may:
1) Select all the horizontal paths, Object>Path>Outline Stroke (if they are not outlined to closed paths already), and Object>Compound Path>Make,
2) Also select the shape to cut up and Pathfinder>Minus Front (hold Alt/Option if needed to make simple paths).
This should leave you with a Group of simple paths as desired, with no trash.

Busy with some urgent matters all day, I thought I had reloaded the thread before posting. I never saw posts # 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, & 15, until now. Argh.

My ipod cut out suddenly!

earlier today i was on my ipod, and the screen suddenly went black. i tried turning it back on like normal, and when that didn't work i assumed it had run out of battery (even though it was almost full last time i checked). i charged it for about 2 hours, and when i unplugged it, it still didn't work.
i have tried everything! i have held down both buttons many times (once for over 30secs), and have held them down whilst plugged in to my computer. are there any suggestions for other things i could try?
my ipod is an ipod touch 4th generation, and i have had it for about 3-4 years. i don't know if this means that it has stopped working just because it is too old, or if something went wrong. it has never done anything like this before. help!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod cutting out...why?

This has happened twice. I go on the Internet on my iPod , and after a few minutes everything completely freezes. I press the home button and power button but they don't work. The screen goes black and has lots of flashing zig zags. This lasts for a few minutes and none on my buttons work. Then after that, the screen goes completely white for a few minutes, then the whole thing shuts down and powers up. It then takes me back to my lock screen and everything seems normal. But why does this keep happening, because it only seems to be happening on the Internet, and the sites are reliable and don't carry viruses. It doesn't happen on the same website each time, but it can happen anytime I am on the Internet. I would appreciate some helpful suggestions on how to avoid this and why it keeps happening. Has anyon else experienced this problem?

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem it is likely due to a hardware problem an an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Certain tracks keep cutting out...

Whenever a certain few songs play on the iPod, they cut off about 2/3 of the way through and the ipod does not skip to the next track. It just gets stuck. It doesn't freeze. I can hit next or back and it will go to the next track, but the song doesn't complete. The source mp3s are perfectly fine and play perfectly in iTunes.
Why does the iPod cut out? Anyone familiar with this?

Some of your iPod songs might be corrupted.

Audio cutting out periodically

Just what the subject says. About a week ago I would unplug my external speakers from my Powerbook and the sound would not come out of the internal speakers. This could easily be fixed by plugging the headphone/speaker jack back in, and then taking it back out. The sound would come back.
Now the sound is cutting out periodically with and without headphones or speakers plugged in. This seems to happen randomly, whether I've been playing music or just using the computer without running any audio.
Any thoughts? I am thinking it's hardware problem, either the headphone jack itself or a short on the sound card. It's my understanding that the 'sound card' is on the motherboard and not easily replaceable, but we'll go there if we need to. Are there any easy fixes, or a way to test it to see what's wrong?

Hi gsgeorge
sounds a bit like a bad contact of the earphones-jack. I'd try to apply a tiny bit of electronic contact spray onto a plug, insert it into the socket and move it gently, if your lucky it might help.

I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

That's normal. A network drive won't mount by itself. You may want to add the drive to your login items and/or the login items of your boy's account.
He came over to update his iPod tonight. Now the library is inaccessible. It says that his account is not authorized for the folder.
Is that a USB drive? How have you defined access to that drive in AirPort Utility? If you set it to "Secure Shared Disks" "With accounts", you'll have to add his account.

IPod Shorting Out FM Transmitter(s)??

Hello. I originally posted this on another iPod-oriented forum, and I have to assume that no one has an answer, as it hasn't gotten a single reply yet. Either that, or I don't have enough 'cred' there yet. Nevermind my insecurities, here's the deal:
IPod Vs. FM Transmitter Problem
Hello. My 5th-generation 30GB Video iPod has had some problems in recent months, but none too devastating. It used to require me to 'reset' it everytime I wanted to use it after a prolonged 'power down' period. Recently, however, it seems like it's destroying FM transmitters...or at least not being willing to play nicely with them.
I first had a Monster FM transmitter that worked great for the longest time, then I believe a short occurred in it that would cause the iPod to automatically 'pause' when it would get jarred a little. I gave up on that cord a little over a month ago and got a Kensington transmitter from Amazon. That worked perfectly for about three days and then just abruptly shorted out and completely died.
But it gets better, and by that, I mean worse. I receive the 'exchange' Kensington transmitter yesterday and that shorts out INSTANTLY. I realize that it's entirely possible that I got two defective items from Amazon consecutively, but I have to believe the problem is on the iPod's end. You see, I went out and picked up an iTrip one at Best Buy today, and that seems to cause the iPod to 'freeze' up, the touch wheel barely functioning when it's attached. The iTrip appears to sustain power, though. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test someone else's iPod with it yet.
My iPod, while connected to my PC, seems to work fine, except that some unknown application is preventing me from ejecting it through iTunes, but whatever. As a standalone device, it also works, and the touch wheel is appropriately responsive. I could be wrong, but I think something happened to it after that Monster cable went on the fritz (even though the resetting nonsense started well before that point). I looked at the USB/power input area, and the 'male' part on the inside almost looks like it's got a tiny char mark on it.
I have the AppleCare Protection Plan, and I'm wondering if the likely scenario is something they'll even assume responsibility for....I've restored the thing twice now since purchase in October '05, having to re-import roughly 5,000 songs after the first time. I don't want to even bother starting that arduous process if this thing is a lemon, if it's going to continue to 'blow up' FM transmitters because of some sort of power surge.
Any concrete information on what's causing this or educated guesses would be greatly appreciated.
I'm about at wit's end with the whole thing, and I'm really concerned that Apple will wash their hands of responsibility. Ever since the 7.0 iTunes update, I've had minor, nagging problems with it, but nothing like the thing potentially being a transmitter mass-murderer.

Have you reset your ipod? That usually helps with any external devices attaching to it.
I'm also wondering (based upon the transmitters you've used so far) if it's not your car lighter that's causing the short? The itrip doesn't use the charger but the others do and since the itrip is working (albeit slowly) the car lighter might be the source.

IPod classic cutting out

So I have seen this post elsewhere but I didnt see an answer to it so I'm gonna try it.
I have the 160GB Classic MC297LL running 2.0.4.
When it is in my pocket, I always slide the "Lock" switch over so I don't make unwanted changes by locking out the front panel.
After a certain amount of time (seems like 5 minutes or so), the musci cuts out and the only way I can re-instate my vibes is to slide the "Lock" switch over. Kinda frustrating during a good workout session or a good run.
Anyone else encountered this? Is there a fix?
Cheers

There are a few possibilities with this scenario. The first is that the motion of your workout is the iPod's hard drive which was/is not designed to withstand a lot of motion.
Also, another feature of the iPod Classic is the auto pause feature that is activated when the iPod detects that the headphones are no longer connected. Have you tried a different set of earbuds to see if that makes a difference? For some reason, the iPod could be thinking that the headphones have been disconnected from again the movement of your workout. Sliding the lock swtich off and then back on allows the iPod to detect the headset again.
It might be worth working through the usual 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of a software glitch/error.

IPod continues to cut-out while playing

I've posted this before, and I've seen other threads regarding this issue -- my iPod randomly stops playing songs and goes back to the main iPhone menu.
I was, unfortunately, forced to reload my iPhone last weekend because the world clocks did not work. After I reloaded, I found that this cutting-out issue stopped. Yay!
However, last night I added new songs (some from iTunes store, others from various CDs). iTunes found some of the album art for me, a few of them I had to add the art manually.
Today, I'm having the music cutting-out issue again. It has happened 6x so far (since about 9:00AM - so 3 hours). 4 of those times I was doing nothing to the iPhone, it was just sitting on my desk next to me. 1 time it happened when I was adjusting the volume and the other time it happened when I was changing the view so I could view album art (turning the iPhone sideways).
I've already turned my iPhone off and back on, hoping this problem would go away (it didn't). Please don't tell me that I have to reload my iPhone every single time I add new songs to my library.
Has there been any "official" response to this issue? Does anyone know when we're getting a patch for iTunes?
I'm getting pretty frustrated with this problem. My husband is experiencing the same issue, though he doesn't use his iPod nearly as much as I do. We spent $1,300 -- can we not get the basic functionality, at least?

My ipod video sound cuts out after 30 sec

I play my movie and the sound cuts out after a while and then it only plays the video with no sound. It's not the video because it works fine on my computer and all the other videos are doing the same thing. I found if I rewind or fast foreward the sound comes back but only for a little while and the sound cuts out again.

This happens with the current firmware 1.1 upgrade on the iPod. You can downgrade the firmware to 1.0 and this will solve that problem. Doing it this way you won't have to restore the iPod which will erase it. If you can't do this then you can restore the iPod using the previous updater.
