IPod Radio Remote(device that enable my iPod to function as a radio

When I initially plugged the radio adapter into my nano I was able to control turning it on/off ,etc. directly from the radio adapter. Now I when I plug it in my nano starts playing my albums and not the radio. Very annoying - how can I fix?

  • My new ipod earphone remote & mic... Not fully functioning?

    Ok, so yesterday I bought these earphones because the standards that it came with were broke after 4 years of heavy use. I didn't know (but thought so) if the remote was compatible with my ipod. Now it seems that my 5G ipod (the one with the camera in the back) is compatible with it. Yet mine is only able to skip songs, play & pauze using the middle button. When I try the volume controls, I see the volume bar on my ipod but it doesnt change, when I try again it doesnt react anymore (no volume bar, standard screen), nor does the middle button work.
    Short: middle button works, when I use a volume button nothing works anymore..
    I guess I got a bad set? I tried blowing out dust out of my ipod but it didn't have any effect.

    Try these:
    - Power off and then backu on your router
    - Reset your iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset network settings on the iPod: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

  • How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

    I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

    You can't, When off it is dead
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Problems in compatibility of iPod radio remote with iPod classic 160 GB

    Hi all,
    I have just bought a iPod classic 160 GB and want to buy a iPod radio remote as well. However, after I have done my research, I find the radio remote is not compatible with iPod classic perfectly…
    Do you think it is a good idea for me to wait a new radio remote (maybe) or later Apple will release update?
    Thanks

    I use my Radio Remote with a Classic; it does everything that it had with my 5G-Video EXCEPT it will not allow me to set radio stations, either with the Radio Remote's control or the iPod's control.
    I have spoken with an iPod specialist (Apple Care) and according to him Apple has acknowleged less than 100% compatibility/functionality with the Radio Remote and the Classics. One of the reasons, he stated, was that several 5G-Video iPods were "getting fried" when the Remote was not fully connected to the docking-port. So Apple has decided to reengineer the port [for better a connection, I gather]. What puzzles me the most about the new generation of iPods is why they were rolled out without warning customers that their Car-Charger, Video Player, dock, AV Cable, or APPLE'S OWN Remote will not play nice with each other!
    This go around, it's find out the hard way.

  • Apple Radio Remote doesn't work with the iPod Touch?!

    In the Future it will be possible to use the iPod touch with the radio remote. About a week before on the apple store site the radio remote was supported by the iPod touch.

  • Radio Remote x Iluv i603 Rechargeable Lithium Battery

    Hi, I got a rechargeable Battery for my Ipod 30g (iluv i603) but when I try to use it with my Apple Radio Remote MA070G I can't listen to any music. The Radio Receiver works - it shows the radio stations - but I can't hear any sound.
    The Radio Remote works fine without the Battery - I can hear all the stations all right - does anyone have any idea what's happening ?
    Thanks
    Fred

    If I'm not mistaken, that ext battery pack connects to the iPod via the dock connector on the bottom of the iPod, is that correct?
    If so, that's why the radio/remote will not work properly. You cannot use the radio/remote in conjunction with any other accessory that uses the dock connector.

  • Can I use non-apple earphones with radio remote?

    I have a new Ipod 3g and want to buy the radio remote. Must I use the earbuds supplied with the radio remote or can I use non-apple earbuds and earphones? Will I still get good radio reception with a non-apple earphone?

    Yes you can. I use Sennheiser PX100's and they work just fine.
    Plug the headphones into the remote rather than the iPod to get the best reception.

  • Radio remote output

    I noticed difference in the output of the sound when connecting the earphone or speaker to the radio remote jack vs to the ipod's stereo minijack directly. Can anyone confirm if this is true & explain why if there's such a different? thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    There may be a slight difference. In general, the dock connector supplies audio at much better quality and is generally louder when compared to the headphone port. This is because the dock connector is commonly used with speakers or similar accessories where good sound quality is important.

  • Old iPod doesn't work with the newest iPod download

    I have a 20 GB iPod, model # MP102. I decided to restore it because it was not syncing well with iTunes. When I did that, I also updated my iPod software . Now it won't work at all. Sometimes I get the error 1429 message, but mostly, iTunes just tells me that the iPod is corrupted and should be restored, which I've done 8 times now. I'm thinking that my iPod is so old that the newer iPod software messed it up. Is that right? Does anyone have any ideas about what might be the problem. It worked fine yesterday.
    P.S. I even put the iPod into disk mode and tried to restore it that way, and that didn't work either.

    Thanks, I've actually done that several times now--holding down menu and select. It hasn't worked. I also took it to my local Apple store and learned that all they'll do is replace the battery, which doesn't help since it works fine. They don't work on iPods in my area. I suppose I'll have to mail it in.

  • Is there a bluetooth adaptor for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?

    Is there a bluetooth adapter for an old iPod classic (160 GB) that also works like a radio remote?  I have a bluetooth headset and I want to listen to FM radio on my iPod.
    Or is there a better way than to use an adapter in order to listen to  the radio on an iPod with a bluetooth headset?
    TIA!

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
    Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

  • Has Anyone Found the New Version of the  iPod Radio Remote?

    Hi,
    Per iLounge, Apple released an updated ipod radio remote that has the most current version of Apple's ipod headphones as opposed to the shortened ones. I've checked on-line, Best Buy, Circuit City Compu World, Micro Center with no luck. I aslo tried the bricks-and-mortar Apple store...they looked at me like I had ten heads. Apparently they have the same sku as the old set.
    I posted a question to Apple Support, but no response yet. Has anyone found the new version anywhere?
    Thanks

    Thanks. I've submitted requests to Apple to find out if or when they will be shipping the new remote, but they have not responded within their promoted 24-hour timeframe. I'll try to order from Apple directly and hope I get the new headphones too!
    Thanks

  • How do i get my ipod radio/remote replaced?

    I bought my ipod radio/remote back in October and its suddenly stopped working. It is detected by the ipod (classic) as it brings up the radio option on the menu and also the volume up and down controls still work. However none of the other controls work at all.
    Ive plugged it into my old ipod (video) that my girlfriend uses and it has exactly the same problem.
    According to my receipt from the apple store its guaranteed until October 08 so do i need to take it back to the store or can i just get another one directly to me by apple?

    You can either take it back to the Apple Store (make a Genius Bar appointment on your computer the day you decide to go: it is a little busy at all of them right now) or go here: http://www.apple.com/support/oss/

  • Question about the "iPod radio remote"

    I assume the "radio remote" is the same for every country and is under software control. I want to buy in Canada but use in UK and Canada.
    Has anyone got one and seen the RDS work, in the UK almost every FM channel is RDS. Do they have RDS in Canada (Toronto) can anyone confirm?
    And of course it says FM so this again I assume no AM, not that I need AM it was just an interest in if it could do it.
    What happens about headphones, you can plug a pair into the remote, can you still plug into the bottom of the iPod or does the remote connector get in the way.
    What is the story with "line out" I use this all the time as I amp my headphones. So I assume you cant use line out? or is the remote a line out also.
    And I assume the remote cable and you headphones act as the aerial, how is the quality? Is it any good indoors, some little FM radios I have used drop to mono indoors. Does this Apple one frop to mono if the signal is weak?
    Someone that has one can perhaps answer
    Cheers
    Ray

    I can at least answer some of the questions.
    The RDS function on this radio/remote is poor in the
    UK. You have to set the radio function on the iPod
    to "Europe" and when you do this RDS info is not
    displayed on almost all radio stations such as
    Virgin, XFM, Capital, GLR, etc. It does display on
    Radio 2 however. At least, this is my finding. So
    it's unpredictable at best. Setting the radio to
    "USA" on the iPod increases the likelihood of getting
    the RDS to display, but the downside is that you can
    then only tune the radio in increments of 2mhz which
    is a bit awkward if your looking for 89.1mhz!
    There are three settings for the radio which you
    choose via the iPod. They are USA/Europe/Japan. No
    setting for Canada, although I'm sure you will still
    be able to use it over there as I can still use mine
    here in the UK even if it's set to USA.
    No, there is no AM radio.
    You can plug headphones into the remote or the
    headphone jack on the iPod, or both at the same time.
    I'm not sure I understand your question about the
    bottom of the iPod. The radio plugs into the iPod
    via the dock connector.
    There is no 'line out' on the iPod. If you mean the
    one on the dock, then no you can't use it as you
    cannot place the iPod into the dock whilst the
    radio/remote is connected as they use the same
    connector.
    Yes the cable of the remote acts as the aerial.
    Reception is surprisingly good where I am, but it
    will of course depend on where you use it. I've
    used it indoors without any drop in signal or it
    dropping to mono.
    Lastly, you need to update the software for both the
    nano or the 5th generation for the radio to work
    (after you do this a radio function appears in the
    menu), and some users have found that doing this
    screws up the iPod. I have mine working on both the
    nano and the 5th gen without any problems.
    There is a review of the radio/remote here. I like
    mine and consider it a worthwhile accessory, but of
    course there will be those who disagree.
    iPod
    Radio/Remote Review.
    Thank you for the reply.
    Think your right USA or Europe will work in Canada.
    Yes I mean the line out via the dock, I just wondered if the remote become a line out socket (I also use a pocket dock for line out for headphone amp as I use a pair of Sennheiser HD600 with my ipod) but of course that is silly becasue you have a volume control on the remote and line out is normaly fixed.
    Based on your views I shall get one in March when in Toronto

  • 2 new radio remotes not working on 2 new iPods. Any ideas?

    I bought 2 new video iPods 3 weeks ago from the Apple store in Florida. (1 black, 1 white - so I assume different batches.) They both worked fine with no problems until I came home and bought a radio remote in the UK.
    The remote didn't work at all and seemed to drain the power from the iPod as soon as it was plugged in, the screen faded and the iPod switched off. The only way to get it on again was to unplug the radio and plug in the usb charger for a few seconds. This was the same with both iPods.
    Called Apple who thought the remote was faulty so they sent out a new one. New one has just arrived and it does the same thing, again on both iPods.
    Apple are sending out yet another remote, but I'm concerned there may be some sort of compatability issue with certain video iPods maybe? Would there be any difference between UK bought and USA bought items that could cause a problem? I don't really see how but it seems strange that it happens to both iPods. Maybe just sheer bad luck to get 2 faulty radios?
    iPods are up to date btw - 1.2.1
    Anyone any suggestions or had similar problems?
      Windows XP Pro  

    Yip, back in the UK and no, no ipod stores near me, it's all done via the helpline and the PO.
    The latest replacement radio arrived today. It works on the black iPod but not on the white one. It drains the power on the white one, as did the others.
    I think I may have had 2 issues here....faulty radios but also a faulty iPod maybe.
