Ipod not working with idrive, Ihome

I've recently had trouble with all of my third party devices. The Ipod works fine, but in the last couple weeks, my idrive treats the ipod as just another line in device (it always says ipod disconnected, but it will play whatever the ipod is sending) and my ihome can't pause the ipod (however the ihome will play what the ipod is sending). Anyone else experiencing this problem? is this a symptom of a defective ipod?

Yes, it works normally when I am not connected to iHome at my house. I did contact Red Envelope (where I got it) and they sent me a new one. Then I contacted ihomeaudio.com and they told me that the radio was most likely defective so I mailed the iHome back to Red Envelope and they shipped me a new one. I opened it up tonight, put my iPod in and it immediately said "AUX" again and won't play. I don't know what to do. I am frustrated.

  • Does Ipod not work with Windows 2000 NT?

    I keep getting an error when trying to install the Ipod CD... I tried downloading Itunes, but I am not sure how to get my Ipod to show up on it... any suggestions how to fix this?

    No it does not work with NT. the Ipod Tunes software supplied along with the ipod is only compatible with Windows XP. But is does work with Windows 2000

  • IPod not working with any type of speakers

    I have a 30gb video ipod. Up until about 2 weeks ago, I used it with great results in my car, with an itrip and at home on an iboom. Then it just stopped working. The strange thing is, it is not a hardware problem, because when I connect it to either of those, or to my PC, it recognizes and charges the ipod. The ipod lights up as if it is ready to play, but if I put a song on, no sound comes out. Just to be safe, I tried my friend's ipod on both and it worked fine.
    I ran diags on my ipod and everything is fine. I have reset the ipod. I have updated my software to 1.2.1 on the ipod and 7.3 itunes. I know I can try to restore it, but I don't want to, unless it is the only way.
    The "genius" in the apple store said he has never seen anything like this before. I have an appointment with another genius on Monday, but I was hoping maybe you guys would have an answer for me....I have always had more luck here than anywhere else.
    Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I've been having the same problem. A couple of days ago, i bought memorex ipod speakers and alarm clock and they didn't work at all with my 30GB iopd. I tested it on my dad's ipod (he has the exact same one as i do) and on my sister's nano and both worked, and i even went and tried my sisters speakers, which are just speakers with no alarm clock, and the ipod worked on there, so i decided to just return my new speakers and exchange them for ihome ones. This time, the speakers worked, but i had to control the songs by using the play and pause buttons on the ipod itself, when i'm supposed to be able to use the controls on the speakers and on the accompanying remote. Since the console can't control my ipod automatically, the alarm can't use the ipod when it goes off. Instead, it has to use the beeping sound. Again, i connected my dad's and sister's ipods, and, again, both of them worked perfectly. I, too, have tried everything to try to get it to work with no avail. I really hope i don't have to restore my ipod
    Please let me know if anyone has figured anything out about what's going on.
    Thanks!

  • Hard drive broke. ipod not working with new computer

    Hello,
    My computer hard drive recently died on me.
    I got a new hard drive installed and I downloaded a new version of itunes (I think the latest) but when I connect my ipod to my computer, although it turns on the ipod, my computer isn't reading the ipod. I tunes isn't being started up and when I start it up manually it doesn't read my ipod either.
    Someone at work here suggested it may be that the version of itunes I have installed is not compatible with the ipod I have. My ipod is a couple of years old at least. Can that be possible?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    I have the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

  • Ipod not working with my comupter

    I have been having problems with my Ipod mounting to my computer(it is an HP). nothing worked so i took it into were i bought it and they got it to work with their computer fine. my ipod updater and itune are both updated to the most recent version and i know the cord is not faulty. can anyone tell me what might be wrong?

    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"?

  • Ipod not working with my computer.....help

    ok my ipod been like this since 5 months ....the problem is that my ipod will not connect to my computer i tried everything but everytime i try to connect it it just sits there and a couple of seconds the recharge bettery logo shows up. i tried deleting all my music in my computer and reinstalling itunes but it is still is the same. i tired connecting it to other usb cords and tried connecting into diffrent ports on my computer but still nothing... can someone help me pls because i cant upload nething into my ipod and im tired of listeing to the same songs now thx........

    after 2 weeks of searching apple.com and other forums online for why won't itunes work, i bought a windows compatible mp3 player (Creative Zen Nano) and it wouldn't work either so realized it was my OS. since i am not computer smart at all - i got someone to reformat my PC - had to save everything to disc that i would need after - as i guess doing this restores your computer to the day you bought it. But after itunes worked with no problems....good luck.

  • IPod not working with new iTunes

    As soon as I downloaded the newest version of iTunes, it stopped recognizing my iPod. iTunes says the iPod is synced with another library and it's not. I even erased everything off the iPod and synced it up again just to be sure, and when I plugged it in a second time, it gave me the same error message -- iPod is synced with another library. Please help!

    ok so i did what ya said and put it into disk mode but still nothing comes up in itunes or mycomputer.
    okay, it's possible that you've got a defective unit there.
    you'll still be within your 90-day complimentary support period for that, and there's information on that here (click the "Contact support (Click for more)" link above the "Hardware Repair Options" heading):
    Contacting Apple Support and Service
    ... but it might be easiest to just arrange for a return. see:

  • ITunes and iPod not working with one account

    Hi
    I have iTunes 9.0.1 running on 10.6.1 on a MBP and I have just bought a new 5th generation iPod Nano.
    I have been trying to set up the iPod on my partner's account on my MBP. iTunes just freezes every time I plug in the iPod and needs a force quit. When I try to set it up on my account it is recognised straight away. I have also been able to set it up on a new account but I cannot find any way to stop iTunes freezing on my partner's account. Her account works perfectly otherwise.
    Strangely the iPod is seen by the Mac OS on my partner's account in that I can browse it in finder and the icon appears on the desktop. It is just iTunes on this one account that does not work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Any thoughts?

  • IPod not working with iMac

    Hi
    I recently switched from a G5 to an iMac and am having problems using my iPod. It appears on the desk top but is not recognised in iTunes so I cannot transfer or organise music from my iMac to the iPod. Do I need to 'sync' the iPod to the new computer, and if I do this, will I wipe clean the whole of my music on the iPod? Or do I need to back up all my music on the Cloud in some way. Thanks in advance.

    Hello John
    It all depends on if you started a new iTunes Library or if you migrated your iTunes library. If it is new then yes you will have to start over. If it was migrated from your old Mac then it should sync just fine. Now if you are having issues with it being seen in iTunes, I have provided an article for that issue.

  • Why are the Radio Adapters that work on my iPod not working with my iPhone?

    I had purchased an adaptor to plug into the bottom of my iphone to play the music from my iphone of my radio. I purchased one of the adapters and it worked for a month then it stopped working and the iphone quit playing the music over the radio... However it showed that it knew a device was plugged in. I have tried 2 more models and have had the same problems. Is it the iPhone?? I am confused as to why it is not working... Below is one of the three products I tried

    i dont use those, so im going to guess that its because it needs to be labeled "iPhone compatible"...since its different than a regular iPod

  • Gen 6 ipod not working with 09 subaru sat radio adapter

    The cable to the radio interface which worked with an older nano, steering wheel controls and all, works intermittently with gen 6 and never charges. Am using a work around right now. Very kludgy.

    The adaptor cable now charges the unit, but full function only works if I plug the gen 3 unit in then connect the gen 6 unit. The full radio and steering wheel functions work as normal until I turn the key off at which point the radio says disconnected. I now suspect the radio software or firmware is the problem. By the way, the car dealer had no idea the cable was available until I showed them the Subaru support site.

  • IPods not working with iTunes 12.1 or OS 10.8.5

    I recently tried to sync my old Gen 3 nano to my newest laptop. It wasn't recognized in iTunes 12.1. Thinking it was just old, I bought a shuffle, only to have iTunes 12.1 tell me there was an issue and to uninstall and re-install iTunes. When looking at the tech specs for my new shuffle, I notices that the OS requirement was OS X v10.6.8 or later, and iTunes 10.7 or later. Since my computer is more up to date, does that mean that these devices aren't supported?

    jeffd55 didn't say it explicitly, but every iPod ever made *should* sync with the newest Macs (you'll have to get a couple of adapters to make the first two models work). If it's not coming up, you just have a software issue to debug.
    The only within-Apple incompatibilities involve newer iDevices and older Macs (nothing with iOS7 or 8, or a Lightning connector will sync with any PowerPC Mac).

    I reinstalled itunes like 3 times , reinstalled the ipod program and it still says the same thing
    I would also like to know if you can put songs on your ipod without using itunes because i tried using windows media player and it said it was all sync but when I check my songs on the ipod its empty

    Check out these two documents which address the issue.
    "Please Reinstall iTunes" message appears

    There are other methods of putting songs on the iPod using software such as Ephpod and other such programs.
