Ipod not working in car. EMPTY USB

A relative gave me his ipod and the first thing I did was to plug it in my car (sonata 2009) on my way back home. Everything was ok and I could listen to the music that was on it at the time. When I came home, I downladed i-tunes, I formated the ipod and I have put all of my music in it. It's working well when I listen to it normally but now, when I plug it in my car it says "EMPTY USB" like if there was nothing in the ipod. I'm not sure what to do, I doubt that the car has a problem since it's working with my girlfriend device (not a ipod) and that it was working fine the day my mother gave it to me.

Ipod not working in car after upgrade

After an upgrade ipod touch shows unreadable in my volvo s80 2010

cjwj, downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple and the method you outlined does not work. When restoring an iPod, iTunes contacts Apple and will only allow restoring using the latest available update file.
flcolvin7, Contact Volvo and get them to issue a firmware update for the car.

IOS8 does not work on car stereo USB

Hi guys,
Has anyone encountered this issue after updating to IOS8 from 7, my USB function in my car recognizes my iphone as an ipod and plays directly without having to use Bluetooth.
Ever since I just updated there seems to be connecting but never connected as an ipod and thus I only can use Bluetooth to play my music.
While is not END of the world, is a bit disappointing.
And yes, I am using original cables and it was working the day before? I don't expect car manufactures to suddenly cater for IOS changes as they probably met the specifications to begin with and thus it was working on IOS 7.
Any thoughts? Or suck in and hopefully Apple gets an update to fix this?
Is there a place where I can give feedback to their team? I know is not scream and shout at them but rather, "Could you have a look at this?"

Hi,
I have a Kia cee'd and I'm experiencing the same issue.
Before updating to iOS8, connecting the iphone to the car USB I was able to get it properly recognized. For example, music playing was working fine and GPS Navigator also.
It was hearable through the car audio system. After the update to iOS 8 (and iOS 8.1), once I connect the iphone to the car USB it is not possible to get the device recognized. The car stereo display prompts a message "no file".
Quite strange and for sure disappointing.
ciao!

Apple USB keyboard does not work with one internal usb port

Hi everyone,
hope someone can help me to solve my problem. I have a MPB13 retina late 2013 since something like 3 months. I have additional screen (dell), usb wired keyboard (apple) and BT magic mouse.
Since a few days, my usb keyboard does not work well. It only want to work properly when plugged to the rights side usb port internal port and not anymore on the left one. It also work on a usb external concentrator. Before, I had no problem, it worked perfectly. There was no problem such as cofee on it...
After searching the web on such problem, I tries a few things such as:
I tried the keyboard on another computer (windows): works fine
I tried usb stick and external DVD reading on the left internal usb ports: works fine
I switch the MPB off and turn it back on: the usb keyboard still does not work on the left usb port
I tried the SMC and PRAM reset : nothing
Any idea ??
Thanks
Guillaume

I'm facing the same problem, found any solutions ?

Not working 2 of 4 usb ports on imac

Why not working 2 of 4 usb ports on imac?

Clean your ports....they catch dust & hence need to be cleaned......use a smaLL BLOWER

When the user press the button Calculate Tax (see attached doc) and click on Tax details then this should be updated automatically. But it does not work it is empty and the user has to update manually.

I recently updated my ipad wifi only to the new ios 6.1.2 and initially I had the auto cover lock option which can be seen in the Generals tab, but then it stoped working!! Before the update, the auto cover lock worked fine. So after trying all the options, I then did a complete reset on the ipad and now its gone all together from the General tab!! I can no longer see the "auto cover lock" option.
The iPad cover lock is for when you use a cover with magnets in it to lock and unlock the iPad when you close the cover or open it. Try running a refrigerator magnet along the sides of the iPad and see if that trips the iPad Cover Lock back into the settings.
That is not the same thing as the iPad Auto Lock setting which allows you to set an allotted time before the iPad goes to sleep.
You can try resetting all settings to see if the Auto Lock feature retinrs to the iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. This can be a little time consuming re-entering all of the device settings again.

IPhone 5 not working with car USB after iOS8.2 update

Hi,
After upgrading my iPhone 5 (32GB, 8.9GB free, model MD299PP/A) to iOS 8.2 (12D508), it doesn't work as usual when connecting to my car's USB port. Before upgrade, I can still see the track names or podcast info in my car stereo display, and can use the navigation controls to select songs. Now, my car stereo display says "iPod NO MUSIC" or "iPod ERROR READING", and can't use the nav controls, although the sound is still coming out of the car speakers.
The above error is seen on my Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6G, so I tried it in my Ford Fiesta 1.5 Sports. Same problem, the dashboard says that "ERROR READING FILE".
I then connected my iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3), and it works well with both cars.

Howdy emoy81,
It sounds like you upated your iOS device to 8.2 and now you are unable to listen to your iPhone through your car due to this error message. I would recommend usin these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
Get help using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with your car stereo
Troubleshooting tips
Try these troubleshooting tips.
Beginning playback and controlling music
Some car stereos might require that playback be started or controlled from either the device or the stereo. Ensure that your car stereo is set to the proper input for your device. If it is and you cannot hear sound from your car speakers, try switching to your radio and then back to the proper input.
When using adapters to connect to your car stereo, you might notice variations in audio quality. When possible, use a shorter connection to the car stereo or try a different cable or adapter.Disconnect and restart
If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.Isolate the issue
Try to reproduce the issue with an identical or similar accessory, if one is available, or test with a second device.
For example, if you hear static coming from the left audio channel, try connecting a different device or try connecting to a different stereo or accessory that connects over the same interface (30-pin or Lightning connector, Bluetooth, or headphone jack).Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you have isolated an issue to the device, restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory condition. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue affects only a third-party accessory, contact the accessory manufacturer before restoring your iOS device.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

IPod Classic not working in car but works everywhere else. Troubleshooting?

My iPod is not working with my Infiniti iPod jack but all other iPods work fine with the in-car system. My iPod synchs fine to my Mac and to an external stereo player through the connector on the bottom of the unit. So it looks like both units work fine with any iPod, but only my iPod will not work with the car while it does work with other connections. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help.
BTW, the Infniti is a 2008 G37 and the dealer just put a brand new unit in it and the same thing happened. The iPod is a 2008 80GB Classic.
Heeeelp!!!!

I have the same problem with my infiniti G37. Soo frustrating!

IPod Nano Not Working In Car

I have an ipod nano and if i am sitting at home the ipod works great thru the ear-buds, however if i walk out to my car and try to listen to it in my car thru the same ear buds it does not work at all. it shows it is playing, but no sound. as soon as i get out of the car it works again. Any help would be great.

thatis really weird...you should be able to even though that is very unsafe because you need to be able to hear fire truck and police sirons...you can by an itrip from http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/itripnano/index.php or as a cheaper obtion get this... http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/72802/wo/vl30tOP xBJ553x2N5WHxF40TTzS/2.SLID?mco=AFDE31D0&nplm=TA381LL%2FA

Ipod not working, tried all suggestions i could find none worked

I have a 20 gb ipod that my mom got from sam's club, there is an hp thing on the back so guess that means it's and hp ipod and not a straight apple ipod which my brother says is bad, it came with a griffen itrip and a griffen powerpod car charger, that's all the background about it that i know.
so i was listening to it today and went to change the song and it didn't play so i figured i must have paused it accidentally, so i hit the play button again, and it changed songs..so then i decided to turn it of and turn it back on again, and it didn't turn back on, it started making wierd clicking noises, so i plugged it into a charger to see if that would fix it and that didn't work either, then i plugged it into my computer and it didn't show up on my computer or in itunes, so i went to this website and started looking around, i did the whole hold down select and menu for 6 second thing and the apple sign showed up, but nothing else happened so i tried to restore it, but the updater wo't regonize it, so then i downloaded the new updater, and it says that it won't mount, so then i did all the stuff i could understand on the "what to do it your ipod won't mount" page i tried forcing it into disk mode like it said to but i wouldn't go, then it just kinda went into disk mode by itself, but the updater still didn't recognize it, so then i tried downloading the new itunes and all that stuff and tried removing the itunes software from my computer, and i guess i did b/c i can't find it now... and now my ipod stopped making the noise, but it's random displaying either the apple symbol, the DO NOT DISCONNECT symbol and that folder with the exclamation point, i tried all the stuff under " folder with an exclamation point" page as well nothing has worked...
what do i do?

IPod not working in iTunes 8.2.1.6 and TS1363

A question about Knowledge Base entry TS1363:
I have been tring to get my iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen to work with 8.2.1.6. I notice that Apple has added more suggestions for fixing the problem I have. I am use Windows XP Home with SP3.
When I connect the iPod, Windows recognizes it as a USB Drive, but it does not show up in the "My Computer" screen of Windows Explorer.
I went through the procedure detailed in TS1363 to restart the "iPod Services".
After completing the procedure, the iPod shows in the Explorer screen. When I start iTunes, it recognizes the iPod. It shows the contents and indicates that it is syncing. I tried deleteing a song and then adding a song. It appeared to work with the exception that it did not show that the song was being copied. The song just appeared in the iPod menu after the Sync was done. I could not play the song though, via iTunes. I tried to add more songs, but got a Windows error that it could not find the Drive. (Note: I have not tried the drive name change yet called out in TS1363)
This prompted me to try the iPod Service restart several times, and I got the same results with the exception that iTunes would or could not load any songs. iTunes recognized the iPod, but other than showing the contents would not interact (play songs, etc.).
*Now for the question: Is it normal for the iPod to drop out of the Explorer Window for My Computer when iTunes Syncs the iPod?*
Note: don't tell me to use the iPod Reset Utility, I,ve done that several times, and it does not help. I got that to work once with an auto fill, and it has not done anything since. The iTune Restore does not do anything either.
Also, with the exception of changing the iPod drive name, I have done everthing else called out in TS1363.

Hi Nanonfsmw,
If you want to check what you have installed on your computer, you can look in Measurement
and Automation Explorer (MAX) under the Software expandable menu. If
you do not see Traditional DAQ in this menu, then it is not installed. If you
see it in the menu, but you do not see the VIs in LabVIEW, make sure to Repair/Modify
your installation and be sure to add Support for LabVIEW 8.2.1.
Since this is an example program, there is no support documentation. If there
are any inputs that you would like to control manually, you are correct in
thinking that you should simply create some front panel controls and route them
to the appropriate inputs.

iPod not connecting?
Make sure these services are loaded:
*iPod service
*Clipbook
*Network DDE
*Network DDE DSDM
*Remote Procedure Call (RPC)
Try a different USB port after that. Make sure the iPod is on, and working too.

RE: ipod not working ipod ready head unit

I've had the same problems, and weirder ones, with my tC and my 5G iPod. My suggestion is to download and reload the original iPod firmware that came with the iPod. I'm not sure where you can get it online, but I made a backup of my iPod firmware that I've used while experimenting with using non-supported software, like iPod Linux. I'm going to try that later today and I'll see if that helps.
ever since i upgraded my ipod and my itunes the ipod has been acting >>weird when i connect it to my Car stereo. I have the upgraded ipod ready >>headunit for the Scion TC and when i got to browse song titles in an artist >>folder some times it won't show me the song titles but instead shows me >>the artist list again. Also if you dont have your ipod on repeat you have to >>disconnect the ipod and play any file then reconnect it to get the ipod to >>work. Please fix this Apple. Everything is so screwed now.

It is possible that your power supply cannot supply enough power if you have some other usb devices like a printer connected all the time. Also, is the iPod not being recognized in iTunes or "My Computer"?
