Ipod suddenly won't work with an FM transmitter

I have an iTrip that I used successfully plenty of times with my nano. I haven't used it in a year or so, but now when I plugged it into my ipod, the ipod says "FireWire connections are not supported. To transfer songs, connect the USB cable provided. Press Center to dismiss."
In the year or so that I didn't use the iTrip, my ipod froze and I had to reset it, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
Anyone know why I'm getting that message now saying my iTrip won't work, when it did before? Thanks much!

If that doesn't work try this it just worked for me as i was having the same issue.
1) Plug the Nano into the airplay and tune to the station
2) When everything is set up, reset the Nano (hold down Menu and Select at the same time until it reboots)
3) enjoy the music

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3 says it needs 11.1 but I cannot load that on my macbook using OSX 10.5.8 any way around this?

New ipod touch won't work with itunes 10.6.3, says it needs 11.1 or newer but I cannot load that onto my MacBook running on OSX 10.5.8 - is there anyway around this?

No. If your MacBook has an Intel processor you can update to OSX 10.6.8 and then install the latest iTunes.
A 5G iPod with iOS 7 requires that if you have a Mac you have OSX 10.6.8 or later.
You can get 10.6.8 here:

Just want to thank you for this brilliant solution. It worked!! I also want you to know that I actually went into the apple store today, and none of the clerks had any idea how to fix this. That excludes the ''genius bar'' which had a five hour wait for appointments! Thank you so much again, merrymusic

1st Gen iPod Mini won't work with new version iTrip

Hello all,
I cannot get my new iTrip (which connects to the bottom of the iPod) to work with my girlfriends iPod mini 1st generation. The new iTrip works fine on my video iPod but not on her mini.
We had the original iTrip and that worked fine but nothing is happening at all when the music is playing and the iTrip is connected. Anything i need to do or install to get this working? I have tried to search the discussions but failed to find a similar problem.
Any help or info will be much appreciated.
Many thanks.

Ah, i seemed to have fixed it! Well i've been trying for a few weeks now to sort this out and as soon as i put up a post it works. Oh well at least its working now. It seems like that the iPod needs to be playing BEFORE the iTrip is plugged in the turn it on.
I'll get me coat...

My new Ipod touch won't work with my Alpine CDE-125BT car stereo.

I bought the new Ipod touch. I am dissapointed because I can't get it to work with my fairly new Apline car stereo. This radio has an ipod cable which worked with my ipod classic. I called alpine they told me to buy the Apple 30 pin to lightnig adapter, I did and it still didn't work. The radio also has bluetooth. I was able to connect ipod through bluetooth, but music wouldn't play through the radio. Is anybody having the same issue as me and is there any advice. Thanks.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"?
It could be that the car system is not compatible with the iOS on the iPod. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. I would pursue that with the car system manufacturer. Ask it they tested the car system with a 5G iPod with the adopter.

IPod, iTunes won't work with each other

I have spent the last 2 days trying to update my "new" nano. The first few times I synced it up no problem. Now that I've spent a small fortune on new music, the nano and iTunes won't work together at all.
First, I have the most up-to-date version of iTunes. Next, I had the software update 1.1.3 for the nano all ready to go when I plugged it in. I hit the install new software button and dear god, if the nano didn't crap out and iTunes lost it and gave me a 1436 error. I had to disconnect the nano and reconnect. I tried several times, but finally gave up on updating the software.
I went on to try to sync the nano and iTunes so I could at least listen to my music at work, but iTunes now says I'm not authorized to play ANY of my purchased music (recently purchased or stuff I've had on there for years) on my computer so it won't copy it onto my nano. So I deauthorize and reauthorize my computer several times, I've read every possible troubleshooting/solution guide I can find on the site and NOTHING works. I can play all my purchased music in iTunes once I've reauthorized my computer, but as soon as I plug my nano in - forget about it - "You are not authorized to play this music on this computer" crap. And I can't even restore the nano b/c I get that stupid 1436 error - and believe me I tried everything those help pages suggest.
I'm at a loss here and not in the least bit happy with this thing.

Problem solved. The harddisk was formatted and Windows and iTunes re-installed. Hopefully this problem won't appear very soon.

Ipod Touch won't work with talktalk router :(

There are a lot of posts on here about people's itouch not working with certain wifi areas, I think this is one of those but am praying someone out there has an answer and I do not have to wait for an apple update.
I have used my itouch in a few different public wifi zones but cannot connect to my home secured network, it just says unable to join the network 'TalkTalk***'. I know the itouch works online and know the wifi works at home because a laptop, psp & Wii all work off it. Anyone else had this problem and managed to solve it???
Thanks in advance

Hey there,
Glad to hear we're getting closer. Looks like you're connected to the network, just not able to utilize it's internet connection.
Let's check your iPod's IP addres. Tap Settings > Wi Fi and look for your network. To the right, there's a blue circle with a white arrow in it. Tap that circle. If the IP address starts out with 169.x.x.x, it is a self-assigned IP address. Since it came from the iPod, and not the router, it can't be used.
I would recommend resetting your iPod's network settings:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
When the iPod restarts, reconnect it to your network and try Safari again.
If it still isn't working, try powercycling your router and resetting those settings at the same time.
1. Turn off the router
2. Reset the network settings again, as indicated above
3. Turn the router back on
4. Reconnect the iPod to the network
If it still isn't working, let's check your iPod's software version.
Settings > General > About
If you've upgraded to 2.0, the latest version is 2.0.2. If you haven't upgraded, the latest version is 1.1.5. If you're not at either of those numbers, connect the iPod to your computer and use iTunes to check for software updates for the iPod.
Regarding the router settings, I'm not familiar with your router manufacturer. I'd check their website for instructions on that. I think at this point you wouldn't really need to change any settings, but just check for firmware updates.

Ipod Touch won't work with Xbox 360

Recently I was at my cousins house hanging out and we decided to plug in my iTouch to listen to music, but when we did this it started charging but wouldn't show up in the devices section so we couldn't use it. When we tried it with his 80Gb Classic it worked. It's not his 360 I tried it with my 360 and my brothers 360 and it didn't work with either of them.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to fix it please help me, or if you just know how to fix it.
Thanks

I have had the same problem, but have not worried about it. The iPod touch is the only iPod I have noticed that does not work with the Xbox360 and it may never.

1st Gen iPod Nano won't work with new Nissan interface.

I just bought an 09 Nissan Cube that has the factory ipod interface where you can control everything through the steering wheel and radio, well my ipod has been great, yes old, but works great and always has in other cars such as the Scion xB I just traded in on it, using the same type of system.
Well, when I plug it into my new Cube, it charges fine, but just keeps saying "Ok to Disconnect" and goes back and forth to that and the 1st menu screen all the time.
I did a reset where you hold the middle button and the menu button for 6 seconds, but that did not fix it. I'm at a loss.
I know the interface works because we tried another newer ipod and my iphone works as well.
Any ideas? I don't want to spend the cash to buy another ipod.

Ah, i seemed to have fixed it! Well i've been trying for a few weeks now to sort this out and as soon as i put up a post it works. Oh well at least its working now. It seems like that the iPod needs to be playing BEFORE the iTrip is plugged in the turn it on.

My IPhone 4S suddenly won't work with my Bose dock

I have two speakers that my phone has always worked on....all of the sudden they will not work. My phone will charge but not play music. They will still play my iPod so I'm fairly sure that its an issue with my actual phone. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Your phone still thinks it is plugged into the stereo. I don't remember how to solve this but perhaps you can search through the forum or maybe one of the members here will jump in on how to switch the playback to speakers.

IPod touch won't work with car's USB port after sw update

I've been using my iPod with my 2011 Honda CR-V's USB port to play my music through the car's audio system without issue since I bought the car. This stopped working after the latest iPod software update a few days ago--the msg on the audio screen says it's now "unsupported". Is there anything I can do to fix this without a full restore? Why did it change? Thanks for any help.

My IPod 5 won't work with my home internet

My IPod 5 connects to my wifi but when i try to use anything with internet, it doesn't go anywhere.
Confusing Details:
My IPod works perfectly with other WiFi networks.
My sister's connection (IPad) works perfectly
I've tried most methods (Restarting, Reseting the settings, reseting network settings
I have comcast internet
Any ideas?
Is this fixable?

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Windows PC suddenly won't work with Airport Extreme

Anyone's help would be greatly appreciated. We had a storm this past weekend....had to reboot the modem and Airport Extreme. Two of the three computers were back on line with the Airport instantly: my G4 and a Dell PC. The third computer (my work computer and the one I'm writing this posting on) can't talk to the Airport anymore. Have never ever had a problem before. Getting "limited or no connectivity" status. Did "ipconfig" and not getting any reading on DNS Suffix or Default Gateway. My ISP won't help me because I'm not renting their wireless router from them. Please help! Thanks in advance!

IPod touch won't work with WPA secured network

I'm trying to put my touch on my home network which has WPA security. I have a problem in that one of the characters in my 50 characters WPA key is not available on my iPod! (The " ` " character. It's not an apostrophe like " ' ". It's the one on the tilde button.) I don't even know if I had that character that it would work. Is there anyway that I can change my WPA key, or have a simpler password? It seems like I shouldn't have to input like 50 characters if I want to access my network. Is there something I configure in my network settings? Any help is appreciated.

I use WPA2 and have no problems connecting. I must clarify that I have a mixed network of Airport Extreme 802.11n (operating on 5GHz) & 802.11g (operating on 2.4GHz) routers. Only the 802.11g router's network shows on the Touch though.
You should replace the character that's not on the iPod in your network password. It should work if it's operating on the standard (default?) 2.4GHz. I don't think that 802.11g or n matters. As for entering the password on the Touch every time you want to join your network, that won't be necessary. I just double -checked. The network name and settings are memorized by the Touch.

IChat using AIM account suddenly won't work with MAC accounts

Hello,
Our company is all Mac and uses ichat on a daily basis for employees to communicate around the world. I have a user in Canada who is experiencing a perplexing problem.
Until recently, her iChat text ability worked just fine, whether it was to another user with an AIM or Mac ID. She is using an AIM ID. However, there are now 2 users that have Mac ID's that she is unable to receive or send text messages from. If they send her a message, it shows she has an incoming message but she cannot open it. Nor can she send them a message. She can however, video chat with them. I thought at first it had something to do with her having an AIM account and them having Mac accounts, but she is still able to send and receive messages from all other users with Mac accounts.
I have gone through all her settings that I can think of; nothing is blocked. I asked her if she noticed the problem after an update or something like that. She thinks she was prompted to do a software update shortly before the problem started, but she's not 100%. She's on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.5.8 and iChat 4.0.2 (604).
Any insight into fixing this would be greatly appreciated!
