IPod Touch nto working in car or iHome.

I have an iHome (IH22SV) and an 2008 Scion Xd. I used to be able to dock my iPod with both and have no issues. The scions connects through the special iPod cable, and not the basic AUX input. I was always able to navigate the ipod through my radio's interface fine. As for my iHome, it used to work perfectly. Now i have trouble with both.
With my car, the radio recognizes my ipod...and if i have already been playing an album or playlist, it will pick up where i was before docking, but when i use radio controls to go to albums..my radio tells me the Ipod has No Albums, or Artists, Panelists, Songs...etc. And my iHome no longer seems to be able to 'find' my iPod. I can dock the ipod and press play and the radio plays, but if i set an alarm the alarm goes off by the default alarm tone, not the music on my ipod, like it used to.
I racked my brain, and am almost certain I did nothing between the time when it worked properly to when it stopped. No software updates, no drops, whatever. It just seemed to no longer work properly with any peripheral.
Anyone have any ideas?

Look in your iPod's dock connector port and clean out any pocket lint or debris that may be interfering with the connection.

  • IPod Touch Stopped Working With Car Stereo

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation that was working perfectly with the after market car stereo in my truck  The Stereo is an Alpine CDE-102 and I am using the iPod interface and correct cable.  After upgrading to IOS6 the car stereo fails to reconize the device and "SEARCHING" for a few minutes then gives the response "error - 1".  Has anyone else seen this or know of a solution?  Thanks!

    I apologize for posting a bit early.  Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off.  They also recommended a reset of the Touch.  After doing these two things it is now working.  Maybe this will help someone else.

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

    This sounds like your problem:

  • IPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    iPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    Try in order:
    - After charging or half an hour, reset the 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.
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and if it shows in iTunes, restore the iPod via iTunes.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovory mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Touch stopped working and is in recovery mode. What to do?

    My daughters iPod touch stopped working today. It has a picture of an USB cable pointing to the blue iTunes icon. IMac says it needs to be restored and I don't want to lose her content on the iPod. What to do?

    You have to restore the iPod. That is the only way. Your iPod is sick.

  • My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!
