Ipod mini and ihome clock radio

I've been searching this forum for info on problems using my iHome with my ipod mini, and others seem to be having the same problems, but are assuming it's a glitch with the mini, not the iHome.
I used my mini with my iHome for a few days with no problems. Suddenly, when I docked my mini, it showed nothing but the apple icon, and was frozen. I checked the connection, tried using the mini by itself, still frozen. I followed the mini instructions for resetting, and got it working again. Docked it in the iHome, played 5 seconds of a song, and it froze up again. Reset again, and mini is working fine, but this happens every time I try it in the iHome. Computer recognizes mini just fine, iTunes working ok, battery fine.
Anyone else found a problem with the iHome? I think I've explored all the obvious causes, but let me know if I'm missing something. I'm going to return the iHome and try again with another one, but I'm afraid I might damage my mini! Any suggestions are much appreciated.

Having the exact same problem. Tried the iPod in another iHome, and it does the same thing. Therefore, problem is in the iPod, not the iHome!

  • IPod car adapter, ihome clock radio,and iphone

    so I've noticed that after I unplug my iphone from various ipod enabled devices, I lose all my playlists (except for the one I was just listening to).
    The songs are all still in the iphone, only the lists are gone.
    has anyone else noticed this? The devices i plug into are an iHome clock radio, an iHome 2.1 stereo system, and a Mazda OEM ipod adapter in my RX-8. I get the same behavior, from all 3. Music and controls all work fine though.

    itspec53,
    Its hard to say whats going to happen when you attach the iPhone to an accessory made for the iPod.
    There may be an update released to make the accessories compatible. Try contacting the manufacturers to see if they have plans or the option to release a update.
    If no updates are available you may have to find some other workaround to resolve the issue. Maybe you could test with a smart playlist or just multiple playlists as a workaround.

  • How can I charge iPhone 4 on ihome clock radio

    Hi
    I have a ihome clock radio docking station which does not charge my iphone 4.
    Does anyone have any ideas if there is an adapter that allows for this.
    Also have a Logik one that also won't charge the phone.
    Thanks in advance

    No easy way to do it like on the EVO or droid X which both have HDMI mini out for that exact same purpose. Apple wants you to buy their overpriced cables instead and then only display it in 480p max. YAY thanks apple for taking 2 steps backwards. I think apple just adopted the HDMI format for the mac mini but before it was nothing but the old OUTDATED DVI connection, lame. Try this link below. If it works for 3gs it should work for your iP4.

    I know there is an app called QIK video pro that will record videos and let you stream them over your wireless network.
    If you have a pc and a ps3 you can download the videos you took on your iphone to your pc and stream them to your ps3 using a free program called tversity or just put the avi files on a thumbdrive and plug and play via your ps3 or the usb input on your tv as long as its in a format your pc can handle and display. Confusing yet?

  • I have an ipod mini and now a ipod video, how do I get my itunes to work wi

    I just got my ipod video, and i have already a ipod mini and i want to keep it. How do I use the same itunes for both? Do i have to register both and how?

    use the CD you got with your new ipod and register it etc.
    then make sure you have itunes 6 with video, podcasts etc.
    (free download at apple.ca)
    your ipod mini will work on here too, it just wont be able to upload any of the videos/photos
    and your new ipod should work too (once you have the new software)
    you can share itunes with both of these and it'll work
    happy holidays

  • IPod Mini and iTunes 7

    I have an iPod Mini and I recently downloaded iTunes 7.0.1. For some reason, my podcasts won't import to the podcasts folder on my iPod. Is there any way to work around this, or will I just have to listen to them under songs instead?
    Dean

    First, I have to say that video potcast won't be synced to a iPod without the video feature. Okay,... If that isn't the problem then plug in your iPod and open iTunes. Click the iPod icon on your source list. Click the "Podcast" tab on the top and check sync all podcasts. If that is already selected, then you should select "selected podcasts" and check everyone of them.

  • I just got a new Ipod mini and it won't stop reformatting!

    I just got my Ipod mini, and put in the installation disc. I got to the screen where it says to connect your ipod (so i did) and to see if it needs reformatting. well, it did, so I am now waiting for it to stop reformatting so i can finished installing itunes and the rest. it has now been on the same screen for over an hour. is this normal? and if not, what should i do? should i "continue without connecting my ipod" as one checkbox asks?

    If you are stuck in the formatting/Restore process, click on the little 'x' in the top corner. It may take you to the next stage in the process. Sometimes it gets hung up.
    If this doesn’t work:
    - Shut down the computer
    - Disconnect the iPod
    - Restart the computer
    - Run the updater again
    - Connect the iPod when prompted.
    Post back with results, or a bit more detail on where you are in the process.

    Yes.  You can choose to have it repaired by Apple or a 3rd party repair company.  Here are Apple's repair qutoes.

  • Window's formatted iPod Mini and an iMac G5

    I've read somewhere once before that you can transfer your legally downloaded iTunes songs from your iPod to iTunes on another computer regardless of formatting. I can't seem to find this. I've hit the Sync button but get the message saying that everything in iTunes will erase whatever I have saved in my iPod. I have 235 songs on my iPod and don't want to lose them because the original computer that was used to download them was in Iraq (and probably since destroyed).
    Is there anyway to take what's on my Window's Formatted iPod Mini and transfer it to my iMac?

  • Ipod mini and ipod on same itunes?

    I've had an ipod for a while and used it with my iTunes succesfully. I just got an ipod mini and for some reason the iTunes won't recognize it even though my computer does. It is up to date on updates but it just won't get recognized while my iPod is still being recognized. What do i do?

    You may also want to try other usb ports, and also try resetting the iPod whilst it's connected.

  • Ipod mini and a new hard drive

    My old hard drive completely died, and I've had to put a new one in to my computer. I got most of my word documents on to a ZIP disk, but one of the things I was not able to save was my MP3 files. I had a bunch of mp3 files burned from my CDs, as well as a bunch downloaded from itunes and various other sources. They are all still on my ipod mini, but nowhere else. Is there any way that I can get those mp3 files off of my ipod mini and on to my new hard drive? If not, what will happen when I try to update my ipod mini with new mp3s that are on my new hard drive?
    Please advise. I am very scared that I have lost my entire music collection.

  • Sudden issue with ipod mini and itunes

    Hi
    Up until yesterday I have never had a problem with my iPod then I connected to iTunes (again never had any issue with this) and iTunes said that the iPod was in recovery state. After some messing about which didn't lead to the issue resolving itself I hit restore. The restore seemed to be fine and iTunes then recognised the iPod.
    However everytime I now connect my iPod at the top of iTunes it says 'Updating iPod' for a few seconds and then switches to 'OK to disconnect'. I can't copy anything onto it using iTunes so am stuck with an empty iPod now.
    Any ideas on how to resolve?
    Thanks,

    I'm not certain I understand the problem: have you re-installed iTunes 6 and now are unable to purchase iTunes Store music?
    I have an iPod Mini and have used it flawlessly with iTunes 7 on both a G5 iMac and a G4 Cube under 10.4.7, so "incompatibility" is not the issue here.
    iTunes 6.0.5 indeed does continue to allow iTunes Store music purchases...if your problem persists, get back to us here with more info!

  • Can I Use my Ipod Mini and Nano 2gen on same computer?

    I have an Ipod mini and have just purchased an Ipod Nano 2gen. Can I just install the Nano without changing anything that is on my computer for my Mini?
    Thanks for any help.

    You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.
