Music playback issues using the new white iPod Touch with Ford's Sync System

When I connect my new 32GB white iPod Touch to the USB port of my 2011 Ford Focus' Sync system, I hear a lot of static and popping noises while the music is playing. It's almost like listening to old vinyl records.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Absolutely have had this issue.
Here's a fix (but I hate it we have to do it this way):
You have to make sure your iPod's volume is turned all the way up. The static will clear. I haven't found a way around this. The Ford system ***** for that reason. Shouldn't have to rely on our iPods running at full volume in order to work. Seems to kill the battery quicker. But hey, at least you'll have clear sound.
Lemme know if it worked for you.

  • Using the new 160gb Ipod Classic with my Alpine ida-x001

    just wondering if anyone knows if the new Classic will work with my Alpine iDA-X001 head unit in USB mode? Did apple change anything in the disk mode that would make it not work? I could really use the extra room over my 80gb 5.5g, apple lossless takes a lot of room

    According to this thread, it works

    Let us know how it works for you. I'd like the 160GB so I can use my lossless collection as well.

  • My local apple store is in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Do you reckon if I trade in my iPod touch 4g black (less than I year old) I will get a new white iPod touch for free??

    Please Post !!!!!!!!

    No, Apple does not offer that kind of exchange.
    If you had a valid problem covered under the Warranty or AppleCare, they would swap it out for an identical item (including same color).

  • Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod touch with 2.1 software?

    Why doesn't Nike+ work with the 1st Gen Ipod Touch with 2.1 software?

    The second gen iPod Touch has firmware version 2.1.1(5F138) whereas the 1st Gen only allows 2.1 (5F137). Don't know if that has anything to do with it, but it's likely.
    Why doesn't Apple allow those with the Nike+iPod sports kit to use their external sensor on the 1st Gen iPod Touch?!?! I can't see why the sensor would be incompatible with the right firmware upgrade!!

  • How can i use the cloud on ipod touch 3g

    any ideas how to use the cloud with the 3g ipo touch?

    You need iOS 5 for iCloud. A 3G iPod can go to iOS 5. However, since you say you have iOS 4.2.1 I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    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.

  • There is a problem with using the new Hotmail attachment buttons with firefox 3.6.8

    I use firefox 3.6.8 browser and was unable to use the new attach file buttons in the newest version of hotmail. .
    I sent a help request to microsoft and got back a 'generic' answer that the new hotmail works with all browers; ie, safari, chrome and firefox 3.0+.
    Well, that is not exactly true. Because I then troubleshot the problem by opening hotmail in ie vice firefox I was able to attach multiple files (pics/documents) with no problem.
    I then went back to firefox and still had the same problem.
    The mouse pointer just hovers over each icon where there should be a button and no clicking is there to be clicked....so, there is no way to attach.
    hopefully you'll get it worked out soon.

    Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
    As for your problem, hopefully this support article is what you need:

    In any case, it's possible that you are having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not caused by one (or more than one) of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] (don't forget to select ''Disable all add-ons'' when you start safe mode). If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem.

  • A way to use my old 1G Ipod touch with Icloud?

    Can I use an 1G Ipod touch with ICloud if I set up a PC with Itunes 10.6 and then sync the Ipod on that PC? (Currently I do sync the Ipod to a Itunes 10.6 library on the PC but have not set it up it ICloud yet)

    We are all fellow users on here and not Apple employees so have freedom in what we say and opinions expressed.
    I fully agree that it can be frustrating to have to make replacement decisions when a piece of equipment is working fine.  I have an iMac G5 that has been working great since 2005...but the operating system is way out of date, and now the computer is starting to act up so have decided to go ahead and replace it.  Also have a MacBook Pro that is great, iPad, iPod, iPhone, PC laptop and Sun Sparc workstation, so your compatibility questions and concerns are very familiar.
    If your components are playing nice at this point, keep doing what you are doing, in the engineering world we have an expression, If it ain't broke don't fix it.
    As to the iPad, that device can be wonderful or just a toy according to how you decide to use it.  It is almost a computer in itself...I say almost because you cannot just download applications other than those in the app store, and some things like word processing are not quite as straight forward as with a computer.  But with AirPrint, if you have a compatible printer, you can seemlessly print directly from the iPad.
    I carry mine almost all the time, and often on travel do not bother with the MBP.  The wealth of apps makes it a very powerful tool.  The downside, in addition to not having certain applications I want to use, is the virtual keyboard.  It works well, but for my hand size is slow to type on.
    Best advice on that score is go to an Apple store or reseller and spend some quality time up close and personal with an iPad and get to know it before purchase.  And keep in mind it is very powerful but is not intended to actually replace a laptop in every function.

  • New White Ipod touch. Went to add music & about half show up on my ipod but cannot be played

    Just got the new, most recent white ipod in the mail.  Followed directions, plugged into itunes and transferred songs. For some reason, when I unplugged and went to go listen to music, about half of the songs are showing up on my ipod but in a light grey and they cannot be clicked on or listened to...? I tried to re-transfer everything and still no luck.  Any ideas what this could be?

    This sometimes happens with ios5 (at least from my experience from beta)   The sync "finishes", but you must keep the ipod plugged in to get all of the songs.... (you can still use it while it's transferring though).
    Anyway, hope this helps.

  • HT1296 Hiya, I am thinking of buying my first Apple Ipod the new 32gb Ipod Touch. Will I be able to import the music that I currently have in the form of CDs and other music not purchsed from Itunes and if I can how do I go about doing this? I have heard

    Hiya, Im thinking of buying my first ipod the Ipod Touch 32gb model. Will I be able to transfer the music I currently have stored in the form of CDs and already on my laptop onto the Ipod and if yes, how would I do this? I have heard from some friends that Apple and Itunes is notoriously limited in the types of formats that are accetable? I dont want to pay £249 on an Ipod only to find that Im locked into buying all my music from Itunes and I cant use the music that Ive already paid good money to buy from other sources. Many thanks for any help and advice that you may give me?

    Many thanks JEM24 for your help.  Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone  the actual cost of each additional  gigabyte of storage  to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.
