Ipod with Bose sa-3 map and outdoor speakers

I'm trying to set up my ipod to play on my outdoor speakers (Bose 151"s) and I thought the Bose sa-3 power amp could run them, but when I connect my Ipod, either via my dock or from the headphone jack, I get very little sould out of the speakers. I have the ipod turned up all the way, and I have most of the volume limit set to let most volume through. Any thoughts? I have also tried to use the headphone jack on my Macbook Pro, also very little volume out.

you would normally use the bose sa-3 amp if you want to connect other speakers such as your outdoor 151's to a Bose lifestyle system. You were probably better off buying a reciever and hooking up the speakers directly to that and then use an input on the reciever to hook up your iPod. I do this with my ipod and a cd player. I have both the Bose 151's and the 251's hooked up and it works great. You don't have to go crazy on the reciever i am only using a cheap sony but im sure you spent a pretty penny for the bose amp. but like i said that if for expanding the bose systems you already have such as a 3-2-1, a wave radio or lifestyle system etc. the ipod doesnt supply enough power either. hope you can figure it out

  • HT4623 I have an iPod with iOS 4.2.1 and would like to up date version 5. The pc I normally sync with has XP operating system. So I can't up date to iTunes 10. And my iPod doesn't show the software update button shown in the article. What can I do?

    You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

  • HT1386 How many different computers can I sync my iPod with?  My laptop crashed and was completely wiped clean and this was the machine that my iPod synced with so I don't know if it will be counted as a "new" computer.

    You can sync with onee at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This happened after the latest download, any suggestions?

    each time i try syncing my ipod with itunes, it freezes itunes and i end up having to shut down my computer.  This started happening after the latest download and my latest purchase.  The latest purchase doesn't show up on my iPod and itunes freezes at synching step 2 on 2.  Any suggestions?

    You should Reset your iPod, by
    1. Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 Secs till the Apple Logo comes ON.
    2. Disconnect the sync cable.
    3. Check the iPod Welcome screen, select language, go to menu (if you are lucky, your music are still on the iPod.)
    if your iPod doesn't show the Welcome screen, bring it to Apple Store.
    If the above is okay, (can see Menu but no Music)
    4. Close iTunes and Reboot your PC.
    5. Start iTunes
    6. Connect the iPod to the Sync cable.
    7. if iTunes ask to Restore, please do so.
    8. Sync your iPod. ( I would advise you to disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus program when doing this.)
    Good Luck.

  • I have an older ipod with a large itunes library and a new ipa 2. the both have the same email but different passwords.Can i sink th old ipod's library ith the new ipad's library?

    I have an older ipod with a large itunes library. I have a new ipad2. Both have the same email address but different passwords. Can I merge both itunes libraries?

    Not sure if this helps:-
    The music files, were they bought from your iTunes account or did someone gift them to you after buying from the iTunes account? If they are yours you can download them again if you clear or de-authorise the ipod, it has to be done by whoever gave you the ipod to do this (the registered  owner). If they were bought for you on another itunes account I don't think Apple let you use them as they are copyrighted and they don't belong to you, they belong to the person who bought them. If the music files where ripped from music cd's then click and drag them to a new folder on your desktop and have the person who gave you the ipod to de-authorise and unregister it. Then you re register it and put your files back from your desktop folder in your iTunes folder and synch. Hopefully that would work.  Any files which you did not buy, I would not know how get around this, best bet is to take it to you nearest Apple  Store and explain that they were gifted to you and ask how you can use them.  The best way to gift music files is to buy the gift tokens and give these. Hope above helps.

  • Ipod with bose speakers?

    I received a Bose speaker dock for x-mas and can't figure out how to continuously play album after album or artist after artist, It stops after album is over.

    My daughter's mini will not play on the Bose speakers although the speakers will charge the mini and it responds to the remote and her iPod works fine through headphones. My iPod (not a mini) works just fine on the speakers. What is up with this? Does anyone know?

  • 6th generation iPod with Bose Sounddock I

    Or contact Bose and send your Sounddock to them and they will covert it for about $100.

  • Is it impossible to use my iPod with my Mac at home and my PC at work?

    I've been using my iPod nano with my MacBook at home for over a year without incident (more or less). I have a PC desktop at work, and I'd like to be able to use my iPod here as well -- is that the impossible dream? I'd rather not have to reformat the iPod or restore it and lose all my files, but I can do that if it'll help me to use the iPod in both places. Any advice is much appreciated. Thanks!

    If your iPod is formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because Windows operating systems don't recognize Mac OS-formatted disks (HFS or HFS Plus formats): How to determine your iPod's disk format
    Macs can read Windows drives so you could restore and format the iPod on a PC. iTunes will allow you to use an iPod formatted for Windows on a Mac. One proviso is that Apple currently only fully supports using the iPod shuffle in FAT32 format on Mac, in other words all future software updates for the iPod would have to be carried out in Windows to maintain the formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance gets good reviews. It's a commercial program so you'll have to purchase a license to use it: XPlay 2
    You can read another user's experience of using XPlay at this link: iPod on Mac and Windows

  • HT4623 i updating my ipod with iso 4.2.1 and now I can't use my apps any more when I try to sync my apps say i have to put the iso 4.3 I don't know what can I do

    somebody knows what happen

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • Ipod with Bose system

    I must buy an apple iPod Universal Dock Adapter to connect my iPod nano to the bose system ? or this adapter is in the box with the bose system ?

    Actually your nano came with a universal dock adapter.
    But for the Bose sound dock you shouldn't need it.
    The currently available sound dock was designed before the univeral dock was created, so the adapter won't fit, but the nano is so small it will be able to connect to it with room to spare.
    The only downside is that nothing will be supporting it once it's connected. But since the nano's so light that won't be a big deal anyway.

  • Empty Ipod with over 20g of music and video on it

    Okay, so I have a wierd problem. My 30g Ipod has a little over 20g of songs and video on it, but it isn't showing up in either Itunes or on my Ipod itself. I attached it to my computer and it acted like I'd never hooked it up before and when I got it into Itunes it acted like the Ipod didn't have anything on it, but, it still shows that a little over 20g of information on it. The problem is I don't want to completely reset it because some videos on my ipod aren't on my computer anymore and it would be really expensive to re-download them from Itunes. I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to what might be wrong and how to fix it (hopefully) without losing my data.

    one way to check this out is hit the Windows button and the "E" key that brings up an explorer window, hit the "tools" button then "folder options" then "view" tab then under "hidden files and folders" check the box "show hidden files and folders" now go to your iPod in the explorer window [it shows as a HDD [hard drive]]click the "+" sign then click "iPod control" then click "music" ... and, [hopefully for you] your music will show up in a long list of folders, click any one of these and see what you have. Apple has this hidden so the artists tunes are not shared wrongfully. {The tunes are not labeled so as to be helpfull here but you could transfer them from here by dragging and dropping or coping if nothing else works}. The only thing I could add is sit in front of the Roaring Stoney River's mouth on Birch Lake and jig for Walleye on Opener And. You. Will. Catch. Walleye. ok then.

  • I have an ipod with a horribly cracked screen and the LCD screen is white with gray patches, i don't have any money to get it replaced and i can't tell my mom because she will freak out will the apple store replace mine for free?

    Can anyone help me know so i can go to the apple store and see if they can replace it for free

    I'm afraid that a free replacement is very unlikely, the warranty does not cover accidental damage and a cracked screen seems to be just that.

  • Multiple iPods with different libraries for each?

    Hi all, how do I set up iTunes so that I can sync up different iTunes libraries with different iPods? I have two iPods with different music on each and want to keep the libraries separate. (One is from an older computer.) The only option I see when plugging in the older iPod is "do you want to rease this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?" Yikes, no.
    I'm using iTunes 9.
    thanks,
    Scott

    It seems that you would just create your two separate libraries for the two iPods, library A for iPod A and B for B. Then, either don't connect iPod A to the computer when you have library B open or vice versa, but if you do, just select not to sync when the prompt appears.
    Alternatively, elect to manually manage the iPods.
