Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

IPod Clas. 80GB - What kind of dock to connect to home stereo (Audio only)

Hi Everyone,
I've been reading all sorts of threads about problems people have been having with the iPod classic (80GB) and dock compatibility. Do you have any recommendations for docks that will actually work ($50-$100 range)? I'm not that technologically savvy. I'm looking for the following:
*Dock to connect the iPod Classic 80GB to a home stereo/receiver
*Audio only - _no video/TV views needed_
*Charges the iPod while connected to the dock (without falling asleep as I hear they often do)
*Remote control (not critical to have the remote but it would be nice to have one that performs minimal actions such as volume control, on/off, skip to next song, etc.
Thanks so much for your help.

I assume that the other Sound Blaster cards like the Audigy models also have a 3.5mm jack for digital input. Has anyone tried feeding a coax SPDIF signal into it's And if so, how did you make the connection?
I am really stumped here. I bought the X-Fi specifically for use of its digital input capability. I would have gone with the next higher model which comes with the 5 /4" bay panel (and standard coax SPDIF jacks) but my PC does not have a 5.25" bay available.

Do I need Apple's universal dock to connect my iPod to a tv.

I was wondering can i connect iPod to a tv from the headphone jack. Can someone please help?

Apple iPod AV Cable is stereo audio/composite video only. S-Video requires iPod Dock according to local Apple Store. (None have yet to arrive in our area and I am anxiously waiting them to come in so I can return the unopened Color iPod dock I bought by mistake.

TS2771 No sound when i connect ipod to docking station?

Can anyone help please, when i connect ipod to docking station i have no sound?

Did it work before?
Does the manufacturer say it will work with your model iPod and iOS?
Does it charge?
Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
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.
- 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.

Is there a way to connect ipod to computer to charge but NOT sync

I've recently purchased an ipod nano 4gig. I also have an apple universal dock. We've recently set up a new soundsystem in our business to run off of the ipod dock. The dock doubles as a charging station, which weneed since it will be running all day for 9 hours a day. I have a few problems.
1 - My computer will not start when I have the ipod dock connected (with the ipod in the dock). It turns on... but then stops booting up. Not until I unplug the ipod dock usb connection will the computer then start.
2 - When I then plug the USB cord back in once my computer is up and running, it goes into the "connected" mode, and can not play. not until I "eject" it through itunes. Is there a way to STOP it from going into that "connected" mode. The only reason why I have it connected is to charge it while its playing, thats it. I know I can go through the steps of opening itunes, clicking eject, then starting the ipod to play... but its a business with many staff of varing ages and technical abilities... some people simply wont "get it".
Is there anything I can do other than spend another $30 and instead of connecting the ipod dock to the computer to charge, buy a wall charger for the ipod and connect it to a power outlet instead?

1 - My computer will not start when I have the ipod dock connected (with the ipod in the dock). It turns on... but then stops booting up. Not until I unplug the ipod dock usb connection will the computer then start.
This can happen with some Windows PCs depending on how the start up is configured.

If you had the iPod set to manage the content manually you could play the songs on the iPod through iTunes.
With the manual setting, the songs on the iPod would shown in bold type and be selectable/playable when clicking on the iPod in iTunes. The iPod would also still be receiving a charge.

Connect iPod touch 2G to Reciever using RCA's? It cannot be this difficult?

Hello!
Need to connect iPod touch 2G to my reciever using RCA's?
But +I do not want to use the headphone jack....+ (I heard I will get higher sound quality using the bottom multi-pin connector on the bottom of the touch going to a left and right RCA's) +I have uncompressed (AIFF) files on my iPod touch and want the best sound quality possible.+
I found a couple companies that make these cables with one being the Cables To Go 4-Feet RCA Stereo to Dock Connector Cable for iPod and also the Nyko Stereo Link for iPod, but from reading the reviews on Amazon neither of them will work with the Touch 2g (or the iPhone for that matter).
I am also open to a simple dock of some sort that would provide me RCA outputs. Seems as if Apples universal dock would be great but it seems to have NO RCA outputs on the back of it.
If anyone has a solution to this I would be very very happy!
+I have looked high and low for a solution for this seemingly simple task.+
All I want is a connector that goes from the bottom of the touch to 2 RCA's so I can input this into
my home stereo so I can listen to my ripped CD's in high quality. A dock would also work too! I do not need charging or anything fancy....
(already have try the Tekkeon NavDock for iPod which was cool because I could watch my videos on tv from my touch but i dont need that)
+*just looking for something simple that works with the iPod Touch 2G.*+
*It cannot be this difficult?*
thanks, techo

As I stated above, the docking connector is not a "true" line-out, it does have a volume-tap so the volume control will work. It probably is somewhat cleaner than the headphone out (haven't measured it), but it is not going to be a significant difference as any improvement you get from the connector is severely limited by the DAC in the iPod.
You get no improvement in sound from using the pins on the 30 pin connector versus a 3.5 mm jack. If you buy a Universal Dock it is passing the signal from the 30 pin dock to a 3.5mm female jack, then you use the 3.5mm to RCA. Going directly from the dock connector to RCA will not improve the sound, the 3.5mm connector is not inferior in itself to the RCA connectors.
The A/V kit will get you the ability to watch your videos on your TV and output the stereo signal to your receiver. If you want even better sound for your music, get an Apple TV and use the HDMI cable to transfer the video and sound:

Is there a way to connect iPod Touch to internet over my computer?

I don't have wifi, but I have internet and I can't get an app to update without wifi. I really can't connect through my iTunes on my computer? This seems kind of strange.
Don't know which "generation" it is it was a gift. It may be the one right before the last update.
Thanks for any help!
Steph

I think there two separate things being discussed here. One is syncing the iPod touch to the Mac. That's working fine. The other is using the iPod over WiFi, which has nothing to do with syncing. stephmayo is asking about using the iPod to connect to the Internet through the Mac, not syncing the iPod, I believe...
You have a MacBook with wireless networking (AirPort). If the MacBook is using a wired Ethernet connection for Internet access, you should be able to +share it+ over AirPort (WiFi) to your iPod touch.
Go to System Preferences Sharing pane. Select +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar - do not check the box yet, just select it. Over to the right, set it so that you
+Share your connection from *Built-in Ethernet*+
+To computers using AirPort+
Click on the +AirPort Options+ button. You can name the network and enable encryption (security) using WEP. You can try it without encryption first to make sure it works.
Now, check the box next to +Internet Sharing+ in the sidebar, to turn ON this sharing service. Use your iPod to connect to this new wireless network you have established. If you need to make any changes to the AirPort settings (such as encryption) you have to turn OFF (uncheck) the service first.
The docking cable connection is only or charging and syncing. You cannot connect to the Internet from the iPod using the cable connection.

How to connect ipod in the JVC music apparatus?

I wanna know how to connect ipod touch on some music apparatus? I ve got JVC player and i put my ipod there but it doesent work. Pls help!

Does JVC say it will work with your mode iPod and its iOS? There can be two reasson for problems.
- One is the the dock is not compatible with the iOS on the iPod.
- The other is the configurate of the connector on the dack prevents agoo connection with the iPOd. This is particularly true for the 4G IPod since the dock conection are is slanted.

Bad sound when connecting iPod to stereo

Can anyone help with this one?
I am trying to connect my iPod to my stereo receiver. I have the 5th generation 30gb iPod. I hooked it up to my stereo (Sony str-de825) with a monster cable through the tape & video inputs and it it sounded low and muddy. When I turned it up the sound the receiver blew.
I now have a new reciever and bought a dock for the iPod, and I am getting the same crappy sound through the stereo and don't want to blow it again (obviously) but would like to be able ot use my iPod in my stereo. Does anyone have any idea of what's going on?
Thanks in advance.

Difficulties connecting iPod to Mac

I have not transferred music from iTunes to my iPod for over a year now, because I had run out of storage space on both my Mac and the iPod (though I continued to use the iPod to play the music already on it). Now I have bought a bigger iPod (160GB), transferred my library to it and used it successfully. I also transferred my iTunes library to a NAS (QNAP TS-209II) which I recently added to my system. Everything seemed at first to work fine. I could access the NAS from iTunes on the Mac (and also from a Windows PC).
However, now having free storage space again, I decided it was time to add some new music to the iTunes library, which I did. But, when I came to transfer the new music from the library to the iPod (something which was never any trouble in the past), I had great difficulty in getting the system to recognise the iPod at all and, even when it did, it always then immediately disconnected it again.
The iPod would appear briefly in the Finder, then in iTunes. As it appeared in iTunes it disappeared from the Finder (is this normal?) and then it would display 'disconnecting' and return to offline mode.
In iTunes the library would be displayed (including folders which weren't shown by my previous 80GB iPod and even after the iPod had disconnected itself) but all the songs were greyed out and not accessible. I also couldn't copy new music to the iPod.
Any suggestions about what is wrong? Must I register the iPod anew somehow? The NAS is shown as SHARED->QNAP - does this have some effect?
Thanks for any help.

Here some more technical details that maybe someone can interpret:
When I put my iPod into the dock it connects, then after a short while (apparently immediately after the iPod is displayed in iTunes) it "self-disconnects".

Googling "DigiHub" I found this link, which seems to indicate that DigiHub is related to iPod insertion. That all sounds as though it could be normal, as does "found device". Whether "Found a transaction past the completion deadline ... , timing out!" is normal, I wouldn't like to say.
Does the argument 'supportNewPowerCalls: 0' in the DigIhub command have any significance? Could it be that my Mac still expects my old 80GB iPod without 'NewPowerCalls' but the newer 160GB iPod does need them? Pure speculation.
In a later test this ("timing out") message was repeated 59 times in 6min 44secs (no other messages in between) and only when I pulled the iPod out of the dock came "found device" (twice). During all this time the iPod display shows "Connected" (and the iPod doesn't appear either in Finder or iTunes).
I haven't seen any messages appearing just as the iPod "self-disconnects".
Without really understanding any of this, I feel it seems to confirm my suspicion that the problem is USB related. Can anyone say any more about this? Any help would be much appreciated!
