IPod Problem with FM Transmitter

I don't know if this is the right place to post this but I bought a 2gig nano last friday. I also bought the Kensington FM transmitter w/ car charger so I can play it in my car. The first 10 minutes of using it, everything seemed to play fine. After coming back to my car and starting it up, I tried to play it again on the same station and same settings. All I could start to hear was music that was skipping and the iPod became unusually hot fast. Has anyone else had this problem or is the kensington transmitter faulty? I've tried resetting the ipod as well but no luck.

Did you have any luck? I pretty much have the same setup as you - I've lost count the number of times I've reset the iPod and different combinations of things I tried to get the transmitter and nano to work together...but it just isn't happening! Everybody else here that I've read seemed to have fixed it by just resetting the iPod.
The iPod came shipped with 1.2 so there was nothing to update, and both things were purchased new.

  • Could not install 10.5.3 for ipod -- Problem with the windows installer

    "There is a problem with the Windows Installer package.  A program required for this install to complete could not be run.  Contact your support personel or package vendor."
    What program needs to run?
    Apple has 68 billion dollars in the bank and they can't get a program running?

    It's more like your computer can't get it running.
    What have you tried to do to troubleshoot the problem?  By the way, it might be more helpful to post this in the iTunes forum since it's related to the iTunes application as this forum is for the iPod Classic.

  • Problems with IR transmitter

    I currently control all my AV equipment using an IR receiver that is attached to the TV and transmitters located in the AV closet. This works fine for all my components (receiver, DVR, DVD player, etc.), except for some reason my new Apple TV will not accept signals from the IR transmitter. It will only accept them if the remote is pointed directly at the unit. I've tried it with transmitters that work on other components, so the transmission seems to be fine. Has anyone else run into problem or are there any ideas for solutions?

    Yep...same here. Let me guess...you've got a XANTECH IR Extender system? I'm using a Universale Remote MX-980 and it's really frustrating.
    There's something about the timing since it seems to be a hit and miss; plus, it seems to work better if I get close to the pickup.
    The solution? Well, I'm probably going to hook up an RF unit instead!

    After upgrading Itunes to version 11.1.2.32 my Ipod Touch no longer works with Windows.  I've tried removing and replacing the driver, I've tried removing and reinstalling Itunes.  When I call up the driver in Device Manager the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver has a little exclamation mark next to it.  When I try to update it Windows can't do it.  I continue to get a message "This device cannot start.

  • IPod problem with Adobe Photo Downloader

    Question;  When I connect my iPod to my computer do download photos I get:  Fatal Error, Adobe Photo Downloader has encountered a problem and needs to close.  Code c0000005  Address 7c910a19.  Initially it did work, but no longer does.  Changes are only Windows automatic updates.

    I have an older version of Elements, and in that the downloader always runs in the background when it is enabled via preferences. I found this to be annoying and, therefore, disabled this feature.
    My workflow is:
    I use a card reader to import pictures from camera card to an empty folder on the desktop
    Next, I burn a CD before I do anything else. This is my "film" - can always go back to retrieve an accidentally deleted file.
    Then, I delete the obviously poor pictures from the desktop folder - motion, unflattering pose, etc.
    Finally, I manually import the "keepers" into organizer, tag them, etc.
    You could adapt this scheme to import into the organizer only the pictures which meet the test for  what you call "my picture collection", i.e. those pictures which have been enhanced .
    In the older version of Elements, the organizer allows one to make a collection. I believe that it called something else in PEv.7, but it is still there. The advantage of this is that you can assemble a group of photos for a particular purpose, which you do. It also allows you to define the order of the photos in the collection by dragging them into position. Suggest that you consult the help file re same.

  • HELP!!!! Ipod problems with library

    so heres the deal...
    somehow my whole itunes library got erased but the music on my ipod did not
    so i just got a new ipod and would like to transfer my old music from my 30gb to my 80 gb
    but there seems no way to transfer the music from my ipod back onto my library or computer

    "there seems no way to transfer the music from my ipod back onto my library or computer"
    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here, you also need to check which of them have been updated for Vista: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Apple ID's Iphone Ipad and Ipod problem with imessage

    I just got an Iphone and had to set up gmail to transfer all my contacts accross.  Also set up new Apple ID (now have 2) Anyone who imessages me my messages go to my sons Ipad and daughters Ipod.  Any help please

    You have to use a different Apple ID to create a new iCloud account (each ID can only be used with a single account).  You don't have to use the ID for anything else though, she can continue to use her current ID for other services such as iTunes, iMessage, FaceTime, etc.
    The only limitation is that each device can only create three iCloud accounts.

  • Ipod problem with Entune

    2012 Toyota with Entune & iPod classic (7th gen) randomly speeds up playback of audiobooks to very fast. Also randomly shuts off with a warning display that device is drawing too much power from usb. Repeated plug & unplugs will eventually get normal playback. Doesn't happen with music, just audiobook playback. Any solutions?

    Yes. Sent email and response was "take it to dealer". Took to dealer and got puzzled looks and wanted me to leave it as no one had a clue about Entune system.

  • Ipod problems with my iphone 5

    I can't see the songs that are in my playlists on my phone.. it says that music is taking up the gigs but theres no music there.. This happened when i downloded the newest version of itunes can anybody help?

    As these are user to user support forums, there will be no official response from Apple posted here. 
    Basic forum ettiquette is search before posting, so why post again if you've already searched?  Seems rather unintelligent.

  • Connectivity problem with an FM transmitter & bulky case

    Does anyone else have this problem?
    I want the protection with a case (I have the Speck Toughskin because it protects the best), yet I also want a nice FM transmitter (I have the Griffin Roadtrip, which is extremely crisp & clear). However, when I put the iPod in the Toughskin case, it is physically too big to fit into the Roadtrip dock. Apple needs to make a male-to-female cable so we can plug our iPods into the FM transmitter without having to actually put it in the dock.
    Does anyone else agree?
    Send feedback to Apple if you do.
    Anything else you can think of that I can do?

    Is the iSkin a good case? From the picture, it looks a bit flimsy. Like a little piece of aluminum or something.
    Also, the iTrip is not the transmitter I'm talking about. It has poor transmitting. The iSkin may be compatible with the iTrip, but can it fit into the Roadtrip? The Roadtrip has a dock to fit into rather than something to fit on the top of an iPod.
    I don't know what you mean by:
    arent you forgetting the need for the power from the remote >socket on your adapter idea?

  • Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

    Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

    I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
    Thanks in advance

    Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
    Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

  • Problems with Ipod Touch

    Problems with iPod Touch.
    Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
    I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
    Thanks in advance for your quick response

    You should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
    "I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
    If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores.
