Ipod transfer to vehicle audio system

I have my ipod loaded onto my automobile system but when I add songs to the ipod and try to load onto the audios system, they don't transfer.
i even tried removing the music from the audio system and reloading the ipod but it still only loads the previous music.

It may be because iPOd is formatted for Mac. HFS? Most alternative play systems need iPod in windows windows format. It could just be the car interface. This also gets reported after iPOd firmware updates. Previously working iPOds stop working with cars.

Listening to iPod Nano through Laptop audio system

I sync my iPod Nano to my home desktop computer, and while on the road like to listen to my iPod's music library through my notebook's audio system while my iPod is charging.
This use to be easy; just connect my iPod to my notebook, click on my iPod's name in the devices column, and the music library on my iPod would show up to be played on my notebook. However, after upgrading to the latest version of iTunes on both my systems, the music library on my iPod is greyed out and I am unable to listen to the music on my iPod through my notebooks audio system.
The above are on Windows XP systems.
Is there something that I am missing? Thanks for your help!

Chances are when you upgraded your iPod sync preferences got re-set to the default which is auto sync. In order to listen to the iPod's content through your PC, you will have to have your iPod set for "manually manage.".

IPod Nano + Sony personal audio system - how to get radio to play?

We got a Sony RDP-M7iPN personal audio system - that's a good thing.
But the iPod Nano won't play radio if the headphones aren't plugged in. When it's docked on the Sony system, it won't play radio and there's no way to get a headphone jack plugged in (no room).
Is there something we're missing? Or is there some adapter we need? Any thoughts?

Go on to System Preferences and open the Bluetooth icon. Ensure that the SRS-X2 speaker is switched on and next to the Macbook; press down on the Bluetootch icon that is above "pairing" on the speaker and keep pressing it down until it beeps; your Macbook should now be able to find the speaker and you can click pair to pair the two together.

Thank you deggie to answer me . You know, I don't know much of computers and of technology but when I bought that ipod back when they came out 2005 I was able to download music from my CDs and from Youtube to itunes then transfer to my ipod and back and forth to itunes . Then if I had changed of computer I was able to transfer to that new computer.Why I'm not able to do it ? There is a program(Sharepod) that allow to do that but it cost $35.00 but I thought that was free or it is because that now I have to buy from itunes only?

I am having issues with streaming music from iTunes on my MacBook Pro to my audio system through AirPlay. Works perfectly with my iPod Touch. The AirPlay icon appears irregularly in iTunes and when selected doesn't connect. Running latest IOS software.

Try:
- 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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Connecting iPod to audio system on new Honda Accord

I tried to connect my eight-year-old iPod to the audio system on a new Honda Accord and got the message "Unsupported." The instructions on how to do this are not complex. Any idea why my iPod shows up as unsupported, other than its age? Any solutions?

Possibly age. I just looked up "A1136" and that seems to be a 5th gen iPod (the "iPod video"). It's old, but that model was often the cut-off for support (for being supported). The only way to find out what your car's audio system officially supports is to find the specificaltions.
If the car audio system has a mini-stereo jack as an aux. audio input, you can connect your iPod from the headphones jack to the aux. input using something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
For an older iPod, that may be a better way to connect it, because it is simple. There is no interaction between car system and iPod taking place. The iPod just needs to play music like always, except it is playing through the car system instead of through your headphones.

I am assuming you are using the Lightning to 30 pint adapter and it is not working?

Wireless Audio Transfer to Speakers/Stereo System

I was wondering, I have a BOSE system and would like to play the music on my Mac Book Pro and have it wirelessly play onto the BOSE via FM channels instead of burning everything to 400 CD's. Any way to do this?

I use an Apple Airport Express, 802.11 b/g, wireless router to transmit iTunes wirelessly to my various audio systems. It sounds very good and works flawlessly. Unfortunately, it only works with iTunes. The Apple Express includes a 1/8" stereo audio jack for connection to your stereo equipment. This jack also functions as a digital optical port.
I don't believe the audio quality of FM transmitter/receiver is nearly as good as that with the Apple Airport Express.
I think this unit has recently been reduced in price. Apple may be upgrading this to 802.11n in the near future.

ITouch Firmware Upgrade - Can no longer connect to car audio system

I just upgraded to 3.1.1 last night on my iTouch and can no loger plug in and connect to the audio system on my Infiniti G35x. The iTouch shows that it is connected by the audio system shows that it isn't. I've checked the cables, etc and all is fine and can connect another iPod without any issues. Thoughts...?

This is a known issue that started with the 3.0 release, and it affects several auto manufacturers. I was hoping that 3.1.1 would fix this for my Honda, but no dice. Something changed either in the communication protocol or timing, but whose fault it is seems to depend on how many Apple products you own
You can step back down to the 2.x firmware ... search around for "DFU mode", I did it once and may do it again now that 3.1.1 doesn't solve this.

How do I get a 5.1 audio system to work with my Macbook?

So, I just got my new Macbook Pro 13 inch, and I was so excited to use it, but I realised the uh, speakers sucked. Right now I have some really crappy speakers plugged in through the audio out port, and it's not really making me happy. Not one bit. So, I'm getting a 5.1 surround sound audio system to make me not so depressed with my sound-lovingness, but I've run into the problem of not knowing how to plug one in, cause there isn't exaclty a place to put all those wires. I just need a little help from a fellow sound lover to figure this out, so I can at last let my room tremble with the magnificent power of a better-than-crappy sound system. Thank you very much!
Danke

Your not weird, your a audiophile.

Good sound costs money. And with a 5.1 system your usually doing surround sound decoding for BlueRay movies etc. for home theater purposes.
The PC 5.1 surround sound systems require a audio card in a PC tower and mainly used for playing 3D games so that won't work for any Mac at all. So don't buy a PC 5.1 surround sound system for your Mac.
Harmon Kardon has the GoPlay, it's a portable stereo with awesome sound (not as good as their theater systems) and you can hook up a analog male/male stereo mini cable to it from the Mac.
$200 and it has a iPod dock and also takes like 8 batteries so it's portable.

There is also the Bose Wave clock/radio, you will need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable for that.

The GoPlay has much better sound than the Bose, I think the Bose are overpriced.

Won't play in home audio system

My wife's 5th generation Nano will not play through my home audio system connected with a monster rca cable at the system end and connects to the ipod through the ipod connector (no sound comes through my system, only sound is from the nano speaker). It works fine in both boom boxes that we have. My classic ipod 30gb works fine in my home system.
Is there an adaptor that needs to be purchased?

Contact the vendor of your home audio system. They should be able to tell you the adapters you need.
