Do not dis/connect iPod with the radio on!
I reconnected the iPod with the radio off and then turned radio on. iPod still wouldn't work for me, but the Genius at the Apple Store was able to get it going. He restored the software and advised me to charge it. Now it's working fine. Yea!

  • Using iPod mini Power Adapter to charge iPod 5G ???

    Hi!
    I got my new iPod 5G. Now I'd like to use the old iPod mini power adapter. It got a Firewire connection. Does it work? Or do I destroy my new iPod???
    Thanks a lot!

    The power adapters can be used with any iPod or iPod Nano, they aren't model specific. A 5th Generation iPod can be charged by Firewire, it just can't use a Firewire cable to update. Updating of any iPod after the 4th Generation or the Mini can only be done via USB.

  • Mini Cooper Stereo Adapter

    My iPod mini is not playing connected to my Cooper Mini installed interface adapter. The iPod thinks it's just a standard power adapter. It does not display the 'OK to disconnect' message as it once did. Does this have something to do with all the recent upgrades iTunes has issued? I recently had a apple service tech reset my software. I then synced to my iBook's iTunes, and it's still a problem. Anyone else run into this issue?

  • Mini Cooper, iPhone 5 iOS 7 and adapter

    We have a problem with the iPhone 5 adapter in our Mini Cooper.  Audio and Mini Connected is not working.
    At BMW and Mini they told me I need to wait for a new model of this adapter.
    When can I buy this compatible adapter?

    Hiya Daniel,
    Presume you have media on your countryman as you have the MINI connected app going ?
    Firstly, as daft as it may sound but is both the USB and jack plug fully pushed in to the connectors in the MINI, even if the jack plug is not fully in will prevent the audio coming through.
    Are you using a non media cable in a media car?
    My cable with lightning connector arrived from BMW. Final cost was £51 with a bit of discount.
    The connector works excellently, not convinced it improved the sound quality much, but I think it is better than using the lightning adaptor.

  • Using the iPod mini power adapter for iPod Touch

    Can I use my 1st generation iPod mini power adapter to charge my iPod Touch? The cable that it uses is a firewire cable.

    Thanks. Will try it when my battery runs out. And to answer the last post- "mabuti naman".

  • Charging 30gig iPod with mini AC adapter

    My daughter purchased a 30gig iPod video to replace her iPod mini. Can she use the ac adapter that came with the mini to charge her new iPod? The connections fit physically but we don't want to harm anything electrically.
    Thanks.

    did the ipod mini come with a wall charger?

  • Ipod connector for Mini Cooper

    This week I took delivery of my very first Mini Cooper which I'm very excited about (). I have an aux cable so can listen to my iPod Classic in the car however I can't use the controls on my steering wheel to change the tracks nor are the songs showing on the display. I've read that I need a Y Cable connector (I think!) but not sure which is the one I need? (the car is a 2014 plate)
    Would appreciate any advice!
    Thanks

    Presumably, the AUX cable plugs into your headphone socket on the iPod. If so, that method cannot charge the iPod or be controlled from the steering wheel.
    Your car's stereo will need a cable that plugs into the 30-pin Dock connector on the iPod and goes into an input on the car that is designed for that sort of connection. From there, the car's stereo should be able to control the iPod and charge it. Note my use of the word "should". The AUX socket of a car's stereo will not work.
    I recommend that you talk to the supplier of the car.

  • Mini Cooper/iPhone-iPod issue

    I bought a 2010 Mini Cooper and the accessories cable that came with the car works to charge the iPhone but we keep getting a message that my phone's iPod is not compatible...any ideas???

    I have a Mini Clubman and usually get that message when I first plug in the phone.
    I think this happens with most non Apple plug in's but they still work, it's just annoying.

  • Ipod Classic+mini Cooper

    I have a new ipod classic that doesn't connect to the mini cooper interface. My older nano worked fine. Ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I'm not familiar with the mini Cooper interface, but it could be that there are some compatibility issues with the new iPod.
    You could try resetting the iPod while it's connected...
    Reset iPod
    Also, make sure that all of the software on the iPod is up-to-date via iTunes (make sure it says that software is updated). If there had been an issue, it may have been fixed with a recent update.

  • Ipod And Mini Cooper

    I have a brand new 5.5 Generation Ipod Video, and a 2006 mini cooper with the factory installed ipod adaptor. When I plug the adaptor into the ipod (it's a regular dock connector), they recognize each other at first, but after one or two songs, I am no longer able to switch tracks or playlists. It seems like the ipod freezes up. Then when I go to remove the ipod from the adaptor, the screen is stuck on the "ok to disconnect" screen that shows when the ipod is connected. I'm forced to reset the ipod every time I take it out of the car. Any ideas why the ipod and the adaptor don't seem to be working? Everything is fine for one or two songs, and then something happens and it gets stuck. The ipod came with firmware 1.2, and I have itunes 7.0.1 on my computer. The mini dealership advised me to contact apple, they say it's not the adaptor causing the problem. Help!

    Here's an idea, but you may not like it. I have had success in "down-dating" my iPod to software verion 1.1. Every time I've updated my iPod to any software version after 1.1, I too lose functionality of the iPod with my Mini's controls after two or three songs.
    Sure, you're working on older iPod software, but the audio quality doesn't change. If you have games and other things on your iPod 5G that requires the latest software, you'll have to tolerate your un-functioning iPod in your Mini. But otherwise, "down-date" your iPod software to 1.1 and it'll be fine. You can find that software at this link: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060110.html
    Good luck!

  • Nano 7G + MINI Cooper 2006 = No charging?

    I have a 2006 MINI Cooper S with the standard (circa 2006) MINI/BMW IPOD G3 interface kit, so there's a 30pin iPod docking connector in the glovebox. My trusty iPod 4G Photo (60GB) gave up the ghost, so I got a 7G Nano to replace it, along with the Apple 30pin-to-Thunderbolt adapter, so it could connect to the MINI interface.
    The MINI head end will (usually) recognize the Nano (oddly, it will show up somtimes as CD7, and I have to manually re-start the Nano everytime I start the car), but it's definitely not charging it.
    Am I doing something wrong, or did I buy the wrong thing? I just tested my iPhone 4S and when connected to the MINI adapter, it noted something along the lines of "this accessory will not charge this device." The Nano 7G doesn't say as much, but it's clear it's not charging it.
    Help?

    For idiots like me, this is what you need to get back to charging:

  • 7th generation nano & 2013 mini cooper connector

    I have a ipod nano 7th generation and a custom 2013 mini cooper.  Is there a connector that does double duty (connect to mini and charges at the same time)?  After about 1.5 hours of playing my nano in my mini the battery on my nano died.  Thanks.

  • Mini dvi adapter

    will the cords i bought a while back for my ipod to play photos on a tv(http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=7CB C356E&nplm=M9765G%2FB) work with this?:

    Thanks.

    I assume you want to send the video from your mac book to some kind of external display.
    in that case then no the cables you have will not work since they have a mini jack at one end.
    The mini dvi adapter is for sending video out of your mac book to a tv /projector or display through an S video cable (audio and video) or an RCA cable (video only). If using the mini dvi with rca you could plug your current cable into your headphone out jack and use the red and white part of it to send audio to a tv or external speaker.

  • Mac mini mini cooper ice cream truck-upgrade to iphone?

    have a mac mini PPC g4 installed in a mini cooper ice cream truck.
    the lcd touchscreen and carnetix power supply kinda suck.
    I'm using the touchscreen as a point of sale inventory system to keep track of stock/slaes, but screen is not bright enough to overcome daylight readability.
    I'm thinking of swapping out the 7" monitor with a iphone or ipod touch with some sort of point of sale application. I'd like to then just use the mac mini as an external drive for the iphone. is that too crazy? have i finally gone over the edge in modifications? is there such an application available?

    In addition to glare films, you might also try a monitor hood, a la these:
    http://www.photodon.com/p/105.html
    I doubt that you'll find one premade for a 7" monitor, but it wouldn't be hard to construct and mount one with some cardboard and velcro/double-sided tape.
    The only actual point-of-sale app I can find in the App Store is Ring It Up:
    http://www.pingysoft.com/site/RingItUp.html
    Here's the URL to it in the iTunes Store: RingItUp.
    There's also a Lite version, though I don't know what the differences are.
