Ipod Nano and Dension/Blaupunkt ICE links

Hi,
I have been attempting to connect my Ipod Nano to the
audio system in my car using both the Dension ICE Link Plus and the Blaupunkt Ipod Interface Cable. Both give control of the Nano from the head unit CD changer controls, but neither gives any audio. Both work perfectly with my wifes Ipod Mini, with full audio, so I'm wondering if there is a compatibility issue with the Nano, or I there is just a problem with my specific one.
Dension claim compatibility for their ICE Link Plus, but Blaupunkt don't for their cable. As the Nano has the standard dock connecter I just expected to plug in and go.
Anyone tried either of these with the Nano and had success?
Any suggestions as to whether its likely to be a problem with my Nano, and what I should do if it is?
Cheers
Will.

Try a reset of the Nano and if that fails try a restore from the iPod updater. There has been several posts related to lack of audio output on the Nano inconjuction with various accessories where a Reset or Restore corrected the problem.
To reset Nano, press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears. You should have to hold the buttons down for about 6 to 10 seconds.
To restore your Nano, download the latest iPod updater and install the application. Run the updater with your iPod connected and select restore. The updated can be download from --> http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/

  • IPod nano And Dension Ice Link Plus: no audio :(

    Hi guys,
    I've a very strange problem with my iPod Nano 4GB.
    I've just installed the Ice Link Plus interface in my car and it seems working great (total control from OEM radio, carghe it, change the tracks from radio controls, ID3 on the screen, etc.) BUT...I'm not able to hear any music!!
    yeah...the nano is totally mute :O
    I've seen many post about this issue (with docking units, etc), but I've to say that:
    - it worked perfectly with Pioneer CD-IB100 interface
    - it works perfectly with my JBL On Stage
    So, as suggested in Dension Knowledge-base, I've unplugged the ipod from dock connector, done a soft reset (MENU + Select) and reconnected it...but nothing. It doesn't play :'(
    Then I've tried to plug the headphones, unplug them and then connect the dock...but nothing, it doens't play.
    Saying that I'm going to try another iPod on that Dension to be sure tha the problem is in the iPod, do you have some suggestions?
    Thx,
    francesco

  • I just got an ipod nano and i went to use itunes. I noticed that my boyfriend already had account on my computer. I was able to put in my email and purchase a few songs however it will not sync to my nano. I went to devices and it will not sync.

    I just got an ipod nano and noticed i had Itunes on my computer. My boyfriend had downloaded it for him a while ago on the computer with his own music. I went on the account and downloaded some music but it will not let me sync it to my nano. I believe that must be because it is his account. I went to the control pannel to uninstall the program (with his permission hehe) and re downloaded it. All of his stuff came back up. I am not able to sync anything to my nano thanks for any input!

    Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes has no affect on the media on the computer or the account it is linked to.
    If the media was purchased under another iTunes account, then it is permanently tied to that account.

    Go to the iTunes Store, log into your account, and click the Purchases link under the Quick Links. From there you should be able to re-download some or all of your purchased content. Note that not all content has been licensed for re-downloading in all countries at this time; you can see what content you can download here:

    You can also re-download content using an iOS device.

    This if course will not apply to songs you did not buy through the iTunes Store.

  • Switching from an ipod to an ipod nano and moving itunes

    The hard drive of my ipod recently died and I'm considering replacing it with an ipod nano and changing the computer on which my itunes resides. I have 3 questions:
    1. Since I currently have about 4,000 songs on itunes, how easy is it to manage the songs that I carry on the ipod nano since the largest option carries about 1,000 songs?
    2. How easy is it to move my itunes from 1 computer to another?
    3. In moving the itunes to a new computer, will it make a difference whether some songs were bought via the itunes store and others were not (ie, copied from a CD onto my computer's hard drive using itunes)?

    "Since I currently have about 4,000 songs on itunes, how easy is it to manage the songs that I carry on the ipod nano since the largest option carries about 1,000 songs?"
    You can choose the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" which would mean you could create a playlist specifically for your iPod Nano and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your Nano (around 1800 MB for a 4G). Or of course you can choose to "manually manage songs and playlists".
    "2. How easy is it to move my itunes from 1 computer to another?"
    Network the two computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. I moved and iTunes folder recently between two Macs and for it quite strightforward. However as I don't use a PC here's a link that may help you out for moving on Windows.:

    "will it make a difference whether some songs were bought via the itunes store and others were not (ie, copied from a CD onto my computer's hard drive using itunes)'
    It won't make a difference in the move but you'll have to authorise the new PC to play the purchased ones. Don't forget by the way to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up one of your 5 allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

    We have itunes music on a computer, an ipod nano, and a new ipod touch under two different accounts. How can we combine the music from both accounts to one device?

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

  • I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    I have created an iTunes account on my current computer for my daughters ipod touch and tried connecting my ipod nano and it won't sync and says that it is associated with another iTunes library so how do I merge the two libraries?

    You do not merge libraries.
    iDevices sync to one and only one computer.
    If you want a single library, you manually move the content from one library to another... all content will still be associated with the Apple ID it was acquired with.

  • I have a ipod nano, and I bought a Bose portable sound system, when I put my ipod in the unit and play my songs in shuffle mode, it plays the same song over and over, how do I get it to play in shuffle mode?

    I have a ipod nano, and I purchased a Bose portable sound system to play my ipod on
    but it will not shuffle the music, it will play the same song over and over, until I hit the
    next song on the remote or do it manually. Does anybody have a solution?????

    Sounds like the repeat setting has been enabled.  See your iPod's User Guide for information on how to turn it off.

  • I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library.  My nano says I have 2449 songs which is 65 books.  I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.

    I have an ipod nano and use one click digital to download books from my library.  My nano says I have 2449 songs which is about 65 books.  I have deleted all my playlists after I listen to the audiobook.  Now I get a message saying I don't have enough room on my nano to transfer new books to it.  My nano is 16 GB and my operating system is Windows 7.

    iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

  • Ipod Nano and Icelink Car adapter

    Well i recently installed the Icelink adapter on my BMW's Bussiness CD. I bought an Ipod Nano and i am facing a weird issue that noone can explain.
    Though the Nano works fine with the CD player in my car, in certain songs "Warning" is displayed in the CD player's screen and either Nano or CD Player turns off and back on.
    If i skip the song within 2-3 minutes moving forwards/backwards it works until i reach a song that can be played.
    Note that i controll the Nano from the CD Player's menu buttons.
    I have also upgraded it to software version 1.1.1 but still it does the same thing and only in certain songs.
    It's weird cause all of these songs play fine in any player in my laptop and through Nano connected to my home stereo or earphones.
    An other funny thing is that i connected another regular IPOD which interacts with the car's CD Player fine without having issues like the ones i mentioned above.
    Does anyone have any idea why this issue occures??
    Thanks in advance.

    Well i figured it out.
    In order for icelink to transmit the song played in Nano to the CD Player, all songs must have information related both to the Song title and artist name. Otherwise Icelink can not work properly and interact completely with the CD Player.
    The info should be added through Itunes only.
