My iPod doesn't work with car audio (Alpine CDA 101E)

From the manual, my Alpine head unit supports iPod nano 3rd Gen (*version 1.1*).
My iPod is nano 3rd Gen but *ver 1.1.3 PC*
Please give me some suggestion to solve this problem.
Alpine CDA 101E is the product of 2008 or 2009. This iPod is 2007 product.
I think it should work together, right?
I've try another iPod with very old Generation to my Alpine, it worked!
Thank you in advance

I had the same problem when trying to dock with a Volkswagen Jetta wagon and its factory iPod dock cable.
Same problem trying both Kenwood and Pioneer dock cables in an auto-sound store.
Why would Apple mess with the multipin connector? What's the solution?

My iPod doesn't work with iTunes 10. Help please!

Greetings to all!
Help please! I updated to iTunes10, and now my ipod nano 4th generation doesn't work with it. Actually the "Devices" menu doesn't show up, although the operating system recognizes it. What should i do? I refuse to buy another one. Should i install an older version of itunes? If i do so, may i loose my musics and stuff that i have in library?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Laters,

You should always have backup of your iTunes folder.
Downgrading to iTunes 9 will not cause you to lose your music etc.
Have you checked via Software Update in the System Preferences for any updates.
Have you tried the 5 R's for the iPod?

IPhone no longer works with car audio

I'm running a 16 GB 3G-S and it worked wonderfully for my internet music such as Pandora or listening to iHeart radio.
The unit would sync up easily to both my new car audio systems and everything detected and played beautifully! However, once I upgraded to 4.2.1 the iPhone is no longer detected in "iPod Mode" or either receiver. I either get error codes from the receiver or errors from the iPhone that this is not supported (when it was in 4.1).
I really loved those features for my frequent long drives. I really hope there is a fix for this problem. I did check with both receiver manufacturers and they maintain their units should work.
Any thoughts or help is greatly appreciated!

That is wild! My receiver had problems under 4.1, and I upgraded to 4.2 last night hoping to rectify things. It worked for me, flies through the menus and plays back beautifully again.
I have a 3GS and a Pioneer deck in the truck.

IPod mini only works with car charger!

My iPod mini only works when it is plugged into a car charger. It is 4 months old. It does not work (frozen - no response or display at all) on its own, or plugged into the AC charger, or the USB connection on the computer. I have tried the reset procedure several times and with different power connections with no results. The iPod seems perfectly fine when using a car charger otherwise nothing! Whats going on!!?!?!
Anyone else with this problem??

Try to reset it.
Press and hold the MENU and CENTER buttons - at the same time - until you see the Apple logo. This should take about 6 seconds. Also, you want to do this procedure while your iPod is connected to your computer. Ipods are supposed to work with USB port cable and AC Adapters, not only car chargers.
If this doesn't work, then try to update it using iPod Updater software. Open iPod Update, plug in your iPod to your computer and wait until the software recognizes it. Once it does, you should be able to click on the "Update" button. If you can't, click "Restore"

IPod no longer works with car stereo since upgraded MBA & iTunes

My iPod classic has worked just fine connected to my car stereo since i bought it last june. I just bought a new Macbook Air (OS 10.7.3) & installed ITUNES 10.6.1. After I synched my ipod for the first time its recognised by the car but i get a "can't read data" message. I re-formatted my ipod but its exactly the same. Do you think its the upgrade- or the cable? Has anyone else found a bug with this version of Itunes or the OS? I have my doubts a cable would make the difference, and my old ipod nano that i haven't synched for a while works fine.

If standalone works fine, then, most likely the 30 pin connect may have some dirt or lint, prevent data transfer.
You can try to blow it clean, if you have a can of compressed air or gas.
Alternatively you can connect it to the car stereo and do the RESET, while connnected.as follows
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs

The Reset sequence may send a signal to the Car stereo to do the right thing

IPhone 4S doesn't work with car stereo

For about 2 years I've been using my iPhone 3GS connected to the USB input of my JVC car stereo. I just upgraded to the 4S and the stereo doesn't recognize the phone at all. Is this a bug of some kind?
Thanks!
Randy

To update my original post, I discovered that my 4S does work with my JVC car radio when I use the Apple USB cable that I use to sync with my PC. This happens to be the cable that came with my 3GS, but it works fine to sync the 4S. I don't know whether the short non-Apple cable I had in the car is broken, or whether something about the iPhone has changed to make it obsolete. In any case, I'm back in business!

IPhone 4S doesn't work with car adapter

My wife and I upgraded our 3GS phones to 4S. We have an aftermarket iPhone adapter in our car, I don't recall the brand, but it worked fine with our Toyota Camry sound system. We could charge our phones and play music using the factory stock CD transport controls with the adapter. When we plugged in the 3GS phones, we would get a message "This accessory is not optimized for iPhone..." but once the message was dismissed it worked fine, even with iOS5. Howwever, my 4S phone does not work with the adapter. When I plug it in it charges, but I don't get the error message and the music function does not work at all. Strangely, my wife's 4S works fine. The only difference is that hers is 16 GB and mine is 32 GB. I tried removing apps and hard re-starting, to no avail. Is it possible that the hardware connector on my phone is defective and the contacts for music playback aren't functional? Any other suggestions?

IChat AV doesn't work with M-Audio Firewire audio interface

I saw similar topics to this but none dealing with a Firewire audio interface and none with exactly the same problem.
Every other piece of software I use works with the M-Audio Firewire Solo, except for iChat AV. When it is the selected output device and I start a video chat with someone, I get just horrible, loud static when the person on the other end speaks.
Running 10.4.10 on a Macbook Pro (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).
Does anyone know of incompatibility issues with iChat and Firewire interfaces?

In Audio MIDI Setup (In applications/Utilities) the setting for my Mic is 44100khz 1Ch 16bit.
The Internal Audio connection also shows up at 44100Khz 2Ch 16bit
Are you looking in the same place or in the device itself ?
I would set it in the Audio MIDI Setup and then make sure it responds in System Preferences > Sound > Input tab.
Once the Blue bar moves to at least halfway there I would then check iChat > Preferences > Video Section to see if the green bar under the Vido pics is moving.

Synching contacts from computer to iPod doesn't work with Contacts

Do not understand why Contacts (on iPod) doesn't get Entourage Address Book from Mac computer.

Restore from a backup at which point Skype was on the iPod. Apps are not part of the backup, but all of your apps should still be restored from iTunes.

IPod Touch Stopped Working With Car Stereo

Hello Everyone,
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation that was working perfectly with the after market car stereo in my truck The Stereo is an Alpine CDE-102 and I am using the iPod interface and correct cable. After upgrading to IOS6 the car stereo fails to reconize the device and "SEARCHING" for a few minutes then gives the response "error - 1". Has anyone else seen this or know of a solution? Thanks!

I apologize for posting a bit early. Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off. They also recommended a reset of the Touch. After doing these two things it is now working. Maybe this will help someone else.

Old iPod doesn't work with the newest iPod download

I have a 20 GB iPod, model # MP102. I decided to restore it because it was not syncing well with iTunes. When I did that, I also updated my iPod software . Now it won't work at all. Sometimes I get the error 1429 message, but mostly, iTunes just tells me that the iPod is corrupted and should be restored, which I've done 8 times now. I'm thinking that my iPod is so old that the newer iPod software messed it up. Is that right? Does anyone have any ideas about what might be the problem. It worked fine yesterday.
P.S. I even put the iPod into disk mode and tried to restore it that way, and that didn't work either.

Thanks, I've actually done that several times now--holding down menu and select. It hasn't worked. I also took it to my local Apple store and learned that all they'll do is replace the battery, which doesn't help since it works fine. They don't work on iPods in my area. I suppose I'll have to mail it in.

Zen micro USB doesn't work with car ra

My zen micro can't connect to my car radio or my teac reciever chr-255. Neither can connect to the USB. It reads for a secund and then just give up. Has anyone got the same problem or even bette, has anyone solved it's?

I suspect the problem may be that your car stereo and Teac receiver are expecting a USB flash dri've type of player and not a PlaysForSure MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) player.
With USB flash dri'ves, the car stereo and the receiver are expecting what looks like a hard dri've which they can just browse and play files directly.
MTP players don't look like hard dri'ves, despite what you might have come to expect because of the Creative Media Explorer interface. CME is performing MTP operations and presenting a view that just looks like a hard dri've.
MTP is used, in part, to manage playlists and to enforce DRM (digital rights management) licenses.
I keep hoping that Microsoft, Creative, and PlaysForSure/MTP compatible players will come up with a standard for operating the player like an iPod so integration will be as seemless for non-iPod players as well.

Sync Outlook Calendar with iPod doesn't work with iTunes 7?

Ever since I've upgraded to iTunes 7, when I try to sync my Outlook Calendar with my iPod - either Outlook crashes or it says it's doing it, but the calendar on my iPod is now blank even when I have things scheduled on my calendar.
Is there any fix or work around for this? Is anyone aware of this problem?

This is meant with a bit of humor in the first part of my response to illustrate why polls asking for people not having a problem can be inaccurate here. Then I will get into some suggestions that are more techical in nature.
If you walk to the waiting room at your local hospital's emergency room, and ask is there anybody here who is waiting to see the Doctors who is not sick or injured, please speak up. If everything was working, would you be here to post?
If you turn off Outlook Syncing, and turn it back on, do you get the Windows security screen? It might pop up under the iTunes 7 window. There is a screenshot of the window I am referring to here:

HT1451 My 2004 iPod doesn't work with my new Windows 8 computer. If I get a new iPod nano, will I be able to sync my content from my old iPod?

If I replace my 2005-era iPod with a new nano, will I be able to sync my existing content? Currently my Windows 8 will not allow me to access my music, etc., although I can see it. Took forever to event get iTunes to recognize my device--lots of removing of Apple software, downloading again, etc.

You can sync from your computer to your ipod.

HT4108 iPod doesn't work with av adapter

I have an iPod Touch 4G, os 5.1.1. I am trying to play a video from my iPod on a tv via an apple AV cable but for some reason it does not work. I've tried to connect my iPad and and the iPad works without a problem. So how can I fix my iPod?

Are you using the Video app?
What cable?
You can try the standard fixes since there are no settings to change.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
