My iPod is not recognized by my car during iPod integration

When I connect my iPod to my car, it does not recognize the iPod as a media device. It recognizes several other people's iPods, iPads, and iPhones, and my home computer still recognizes it and syncs just fine. Help please!!!

Try resetting it by doing the steps in the link below:

If that doesn't help, I would try restoring the iPod and then resyncing your music. Try the iPod with your stereo again and see what happens.

  • Return key not recognized on Mac mini during disk repair

    Our Mac mii needs to run a disk repair so we restart and hold cmd & r, then it gives options but using keyboard it doesn't recognize double tap or return key so we can't select disk repair - so in limbo - can anyone save us? Please???

    Boot off your *original* Install Disk , then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT. Some models have a separate AHT CD.
    The Memory test can really only be trusted if it finds a problem, not if it doesn't find a problem.

  • After installing 11.2.2.3 iPod Classc. is wiped/"dead" (not recognized by iTunes, Win7 find the unit in explorer) and my iPod Touch refuse to comm with iPod interface in the car. Just wait for a iTunes update?

    Hi,
    I installed 11.2.2.3 2 days ago and have since then not been able to sync my iPod Classic (not recognized by iTunes anymore and alll data has been wiped but show up in Win explorer when in Disk mode with my label on it "Nik's iPod") my old iPod Touch appear to have all data left but doesn't communicate with my car anymore.
    Nedless to say none of the other Apple devices in our house will be updated or connected until this is resolved.
    Is this related to the iTunes update?
    If so should I just wait for a new update to come out that can help me get these things sorted?
    I have tried most of the different remedies listed in this forum to no avail and being computer illiterate (not comepletely but anyway) I just want to know if this is a known problem that I can successfully fix with a bit of fiddling or if its time to seek out a genius bar somewhere and get some help.

    Hi Jeff,
    Thanks for the help but I am unfortunately still not able to get my iPod Classic to connect. I have tried all the tricks in the article that you linked to.
    One thing is that when I reset the iPod (menu and center until the logo pops up) I get a critical error in iTunes and it shuts down. Could that indicate that my problem is with the iTunes installation rather than the iPod?
    I have tried to re-install iTunes before but maybe I shpuld give it  a go again?
    Brgds,
    Nik

  • My older iPod is not recognized by cars with a newer iPod interface

    And my new iPod Classic is not recognized by cars with the older interface. 
    I purchased a new iPod when I realized my new car wouldn't wouldn't recognize my older iPod.  Now I find my two older cars won't recognize the new device.  Is there an interface cable adapter out there anywhere?

    The Jaguar there is nothing you can do, and the new interface from the dealer are not compatible
    For the BMW, you have to find out what brand interface was installed in the vehicle
    can be dension or original BMW  in the x5, if dension you can get something call
    Scosche passPORT if  BMW brand you can get a new cable from Bmw with the usb and dual power supply,
    In the Mini if DIce brand you will need a new cable or new iPod interface, now they have a usb plug to do updates in case iPhone 5 is release in the future or any other updates from iTunes

    Not all car systems are compatible with the iPod touch.  Does the documentation/website for the car system say it is compatible with an iPod with iOS 5?

      Windows XP  

    Recently I used my ipod at work all night, just like normal. After work on the way home, like normal, I plugged it into my aux port on my car's head unit, and plugged it into power. 10 minutes later, in the middle of going over Ortgea Highway(hiway 74 between Orange and Riverside Counties), it just suddenly stopped working. When I plug it into any of my computers at home, nothing happens, it is not recognized or seen. When I plug it into power, it displays either a "sad ipod icon" or a battery with exclamation mark(!) icon. I have brand new power adapters both for the car and home, plus brand new usb cables, thinking that would help. It hasn't and now, since I opened those packages, I am out that $$ and ******. Since I received this unit as payment for electrical services rendered, I have no idea how old it is. Does anyone have any ideas? ([email protected])

  • IPod classic - iPod and iTunes is not recognizing music files

    Here's the problem I am having:
    iPod is saying there is "no music" on the iPod. Yet, when you view the settings and files it shows there to be 70GB worth of data - that is how much music I have. iTunes is also not recognizing iPod either. I also get an error stating:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of __ iPod. Go to the summary tab in iPod preferences and click RESTORE to restore this iPod to it's factory settings". It's also not reading anything from the Music database.
    This is the 2nd time I've had this error in the past two months. It happened in August - I noticed it had happened as I disconnected my iPod from my computer. The first time was when I tried to eject from iTunes. It said the files were currently in use by another program (I had nothing running, what program?), so I "safely removed" as I would a USB device. The 2nd time happened similarly, though not before iTunes locked up totally and would not let me eject from there. The last time I had this problem, I also removed each file/folder manually from iPod control, to hard drive, and restored iPod, and put them back on iPod. However, this time I am not so fortunate as it gives me an error when I attempt to copy stating either the "parameter is incorrect", or "cyclic redundancy error". Some of these files that are giving me this error at some point during the process have been accessible and working fine, and other times they are not, as I successfully copied five folders worth of data without error, then after I started getting errors with the next folders, attempted to copy one of the same folders into a different directory, which THEN gave me an error. I'm not sure what's going on here, but this is proving to be quite the pain and never experienced these problems with my 60GB iPod, which I did not take nearly as good of care as I have this one - and is still working with all of my original music on it.
    My question is how do I solve any of these errors, and what would be the best course of action to take? I have a 160 GB Classic iPod. Warranty expired (probably) September, and purchased from Circuit City.
    *I DO NOT wish to "Restore" unless absolutely necessary as I have 18,000 songs on my iPod. Restoring this would be cumbersome, and I keep my music on my iPod as I do NOT have the hard drive space to store it with*
    Please help!

  • Ipod nano 1st gen is not recognized in itunes 10

    I updated my computer system to leopard 10.5.8 as well as the latest itunes 10. I bought a new ipod nano 6th gen, and it syncs and works fine. The problem I have is my old Ipod. It is detected by my power mac on the desktop only the icon it has is a folder, and when I open it is in blank. I open Itunes 10 and it doesn't appear. And I tried to follow the instructions on apple support, tried all ports, tried reseting the ipod, and it is still not showing up on itunes. Can someone help me with this please?
    Also, a white line showed up on the screen, does that mean the screen is broken? I can still see everything going on normally on the ipod but not where the line comes up (middle of the screen).

  • IPod device not recognized by iTunes on PC

    I have an iPod Touch. Worked fine for a couple years. Then someone got a hold of it and disabled it by mis-entering the passcode numerous times so that now the display reads "iPod is diabled, try again in 5259129 minutes." I was told that I could simply plug it in and restore it. However, when I plug it in, and iTunes opens, the device is not recognized at all {Devices does not even appear on the menu on the left side}, and instead a small window opens with the following message: "iTunes could not connect to the iPod Touch because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter the passcode on the iPod before it can be used with iTunes." Well I cannot enter the passcode for about ten more years. I just want to restore it--I don't care if I lose everything at this point. What I can't figure out is how to get the iTunes to recognize the device so that I can restore it. I have tried reinstalling iTunes twice, to no avail. Help!

    Thank you so much--the article you referred me to provided the procedure that worked for me. Previous trouble-shooting instructions I had found did not indicate that I needed to continue to press the "Home" button after reconnecting the USB cable until the "Connect to iTunes" screen appeared. We were able to do a restore. THANKS AGAIN!

  • IPod Nano 6gen not recognized by iTunes using a Mac, have tried all the tips.

    I've tried all of the tips on the site, nothing seems to work.  My Mac (OS X 10.6.8) can see the device and my iTunes updates as normal on other devices but the nano suddenly isn't seen by iTunes.  I've reset the settings, checked the USB, nothing seems to work. I'm also getting an error message that says Mac OS X can't repair the disk, its telling me to backup and reformat.  The resetting on the device should take care of this but it doesn't, the device is empty.  All software is up to date.  Any ideas?

  • IPOD not recognized, can't restore

    If I hear any more about the five R's I'm gonna puke. If the IPOD is not recognized by the computer the restore option is impossible. At least the way it's written on the five R's page that Apple is so found of sending people to take care of their problems. Here's a question. What do you do if your IPOD is not recognized by more than one Windows XP machine? You can only do four of the five R's. I've done all four till I'm blue in the face. The IPOD works fine offline from the computer, but I can't update anything anymore since the computer doesn't recognize the IPOD. I'm about ready to drive three hours to an Apple store and let them help. Incidentally, I also have an older IPOD 2nd or 3rd generation. It talks to both of these windows XP machines on the same USB ports that fail to recognize the 60gb video IPOD. I bought the new one on the strength of the good experience I've had with the old one (excepting battery life of course). Now I'm about ready to throw the new one at the wall!
    pc   Windows XP   neither desktop or laptop recognize new IPOD

    Been here before - twice.
    When you operate your IPOD does it make a recurring sound of whirring & clicking? If so then your hard drive may be in the early stages of failing.
    This same problem has happened to me - twice, it is followed with the Ipod turning itself off during certain songs, then complete failure.
    If this is the same as your problem your only remedy it to take it to the store and get it replaced.
    On both occasions I was lucky as it had around 1 month left on the warranty.

  • IPod nano 3rd Gen 8G "Device Not Recognized" on 2 diffrent computers...

    I have the latest versions of iTunes on both a Windows XP service pack 3 computer and Windows 7 Laptop. I've tried multiple cords but both computers tell me "device not recognized", I've uninstalled and reinstalled all drivers. Done a reset and Disk Mode reset on my iPod. Haven't droped it or damaged it in anyway since i've connected it sucessfully to my computer last time. Will charge on a wall charger, car charger and dock. Tried connecting friends iTouch and it was registered by Both computers.
    And ideas on a fix other than the $100+ apple wants, I'll just got buy a new MP3.

    - Try another cable
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    Did you do everything here:

    and for the computer in queston
