My ipod nano doesn't work in my new car using the usb

my ipod nano won't play music in my new car using the usb. It works fine with earphones, and music displays in car but won't play?

And I have one more question, when I connect my iPod,
iTunes turns on automatically and the iPod is seen,
but it's not seen in "My Computer". Is that ok?
Since you have the iPod set at auto sync the ipod would not show in "My Computer" (someone correct me if I am wrong). If you were able to successfully switch it to manual it would show as it would be in disk mode. So I would say that this is ok.
I have done a search for the error -50 you keep getting and can't find anything. At this point I would suggest contacting Apple support to see if they can give you some insight on this error. One thing though...have you tried uninstalling iTunes from your computer completely and then re-installing it to make sure it's not an issue with your current copy of iTunes? Also, have you tried to go through the 5 R's?

If you have not gone through the 5 R's, please try that first and see if it helps. If not, then try un-installing and then re-installing iTunes. If that does not work, then it would probably be beneficial to call Apple Support.

My iPod Nano doesn't work as it should...

I have just got my new iPod Nano. It's the 2gb model from the second generation. I was extremely happy, because it looks awesome and I thought that it would work same way.
The player is working perfect. Plays songs, really awesome.
But I have really BIG problems with iTunes. As I said I have got iPod today and everything is new and up-to-date - iTunes and I even somehow managed to update my iPod. Why somehow? I have extremely big problems with updating it. I think that it works okay now, but not at all. Everything is okay when I use an automatic system. I copy music I want to library, conect iPod then and everything copies perfect. The problems are starting when I try to manage iPod on my own - copy music etc. This simply doesn't work! When I try to change the system on non-automatic the error (-50) occurres and iPod cannot be updated. I even can't do this simple thing so there are no talks about deleting or copying music to iPod.
What can I do? That's simply driving me crazy :/
PS. Sorry for my English, but I'm from Poland. I don't know if the apple service exists here at all...

The old "ipod nano" doesn't work on Vista query

I've had my new PC with Vista installed for all of 6 hours now and in that time I've discovered that, yup you guessed it, my little ipod nano that worked perfectly on the XP system I had before isn't detected by the new Vista operating system.
A couple of hours of browsing the web and these forums has shown me I am not alone, but in all that searching the best solution offered from interested parties seems to be to reinstall Itunes (done that) or roll back to XP and forget all about Vista.
Now if Microsoft and Apple have screwed up somehow with the drivers required to make Vista, Itunes and the Ipod nano talk to each other I can understand that. But what is this conspiracy of silence all about? I can find nothing official on either of the companies websites even acknowledging there is a problem. Instead I only find 'lonely' threads (about half a dozen in this forum alone) awaiting an easy answer to a pretty serious issue, an answer that doesn't look very forthcoming anytime soon.
It's a pity since I was just getting into the whole Itunes/Ipod thing, guess I will have to await Itunes 9 or some Vista patch in the future, but then again so far as Apple and Microsoft are concerned... there's no issue to worry about.
Cheers

If a restore of the nano in iTunes fails to correct the issue, it's hardware related meaning you'll want or need to have the iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party service center.

IPod nano doesn't work at all

Just rec'd an iPod nano 2 gb about 2 weeks ago. Showed that it needed to be charged so attached to my Windows XP system (not a usb 2.0 port) and it still showed charging after two days. Tried the reset 8 billion times - no go. Now, nothing works on the iPod. Bought the power adapter and plugged it in and now it just makes a buzzing sound. I read somewhere to unplug it from all power sources for 24 hours - didn't work either. I have no idea why it doesn't work. Any other ideas?

"Any other ideas?"
Yes. As it's only 2 weeks ago since you got it, take it to an Apple store and get it exchanged for one that works. You shouldn't be jumping through hoops to get a brand new iPod working.

Video iPod Nano doesn't work when plugged in anymore

As of recently, whenever I plug my Video iPod Nano into my Hi-Fi the screen locks up. The music still plays through the Hi-Fi, and I can control the volume via the unit however the screen completely is frozen, and unresponsive to any movement on the clicker. It worked fine before, and this now a recent happening, and I have a feeling the latest update to the iPod Nano knocked it out.

I'm not not sure why this question is flagged as "answered".
I'm experiencing exactly the same behavior. If my nano (3G) is put into my HiFi while in play mode, it will continue playing through the HiFi, but the nano screen will freeze and its controls will become unresponsive. Only the HiFi volume can be controlled via the HiFi top buttons. Ditto for the remote - only the volume controls function (although the HiFi green LED responds to all remote commands as normal).
If the nano is inserted into the HiFi in menu mode, it just remains unresponsive. When taken out of the HiFi dock, it will invariably remain unresponsive for 30-40 seconds, then suddenly light up and return to normal.
In fact, my nano (3G) has always acted this annoying way with our HiFi - which continues to work flawlessly (extra menues and all) with the sundry older iPod models that we own.
Yes, I have tried resetting and restoring the nano (now at firmware version 1.1) and the HiFi no avail.
I'm curious to learn whether anyone has actually gotten a nano (3G) to work properly with a HiFi.
P.S. Great product the HiFi - can't for the good of me figure out why Apple discontinued it... It's truly adding insult to injury if this thing of beauty no longer works properly with the newer iPods.

Swapped Ipod Nano doesn't work

Hi! I received a new Ipod Nano in exchange for my Ipod Classic, but my computer is asking for the CD that came with it - no such thing - where can I download the program to make this work? Thank you!

You need to download the latest version of iTunes, there are no more CDs.

IPod Stuff doesn't work with my new iPhone

I finally sprung for the iPhone three weeks ago and I love it. But I think I'm going to have to buy more new stuff. Neither set of my portable speakers that I use with my iPod (5th gen. video) work with the iPhone. When I put the iPhone in the dock, I get some message about Airplane Mode. Music does play through the speakers, but they won't charge the iPhone. When I put the iPhone on its own charger and tried to use the auxiliary input on the speakers, there was only silence.
Do I need a special cable or something?
Also, my car charger for the iPod doesn't work with the iPhone.
Am I going to have to spring for another set of portable speakers? I've read that the Pure-Fi is compatible with iPhone.
Thanks!

Both my mini and my video iPod were USB -- not Firewire.
Both your Mini and your iPod with video synced via USB and charged via USB when connected to your Mac, but they also support charging via Firewire and most of the older 3rd party devices charged iPods via Firewire - your iPods include firewire pins in the connector for charging via firewire.
The first generation iPhone also syncs and charges via USB when connected to a computer, and the first generation iPhone also includes firewire pins for charging via firewire also, as your iPods include. The first generation iPhone does not support syncing via Firewire, but it does support charging via Firewire.
Apple removed the firepins from the iPhone 3G connector as they have done with all new iPods released after a certain date and for all new iPods to be released in the future. 3rd party device manufacturers were made aware of this so all new 3rd party devices must support charging via USB only or include charging via USB in addition to charging via Firewire if a new device is to be backwards compatible with older iPods.

HT1430 The home button doesn't work sometimes. Am I using the wrong pressure?

The home button doesn't response sometimes. Is there any technique? Am I using the wrong pressure? Please help

This may or may not work; no harm trying.
Calibrate the Home button
1. Open a pre-installed app, such as Contacts
2. Press and hold the sleep/wake button until the red slider appears
3. Immediately release the sleep/wake button; press and hold the Home button.
4. Hold until the red slider disappears.

IPhone 5 doesn't work with Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter.

I just upgraded to iPhone 5. To my huge disappointment, I can not use it with my Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter. That is just ridiculous, after spending so much money!!! I tried using another cable and it works but sound is of poor quality

I have the SoundDock 10 and generally use the Bluetooth connection.
I have just reinserted the 30 pin normal socket ( as in normal SoundDock)
the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter and with iPhone 5 have perfect
sound
It works so something in your set up is faulty possibly the adapter
some have posted issues

OWA doesn't work on all servers! "Use the following link to open this mailbox with optimal performance:"

Hi All,
I am having a problem with OWA. I have 3 2007 exchange servers on 3 different sites on the same AD Forest. My emails work fine internally and externally with outlook. I have setup Outlook Anywhere on Server No1 with external email address:
https://mail.company.com/owa
Everybody can login fine.
I have setup OWA on the other 2 servers with the same address, but when a user from that site tries to login gets the following message:
"Use the following link to open this mailbox with optimal performance:"
So the can't see their emails!
Please help me out as I am trying to solve it for days now and I can't find out what is wrong!
Thank you All!

Hi Akitan,
From your description, CAS server 1 is exposed to the Internet. Other two non-Internet-facing Active Directory sites rely on the Internet-facing Client Access server 1 to proxy all pertinent requests from external clients. If I have misunderstood your concern,
please let me know.
In your case, I recommend you ensure that Integrated Windows authentication for OWA virtual directory is enabled.
What's more, here is a helpful thread for your reference.

Besides, if your issue is urgent, you can connect Microsoft Support. For your convenience:

Welcome to Apple Discussions Chuck
Obviously you found my user tip/posts on corrupt AppleWorks preferences although you said "preference file." There are four preference files in two different places. Take another look at my user tip, AppleWorks has stopped working correctly, for the file names & locations.
However, the spinning beach ball you see in AppleWorks has nothing to do with your Intel Mac or corrupt preferences but is the most complained about bug in AppleWorks 6 - known as the "Recent Items bug." The same problem will affect any Mac no matter what processor or OS. There are three user tips in the User Tips Library dealing with Recent Items.
Dale Gillard - AppleWorks slow? Spinning ball appears?

Will my american iPod charge on a computer in Europe if I use the USB cord to plug it into the computer?

I am going to Europe and there is a computer that I will be able to use and I was wondering if I could just charge my iPod right into the computer instead of needing an adapter and an outlet. I know the power is different there so I wasn't sure if that would be a problem.

Yes, there should be no problem.

Ipod Nano won't work. HELP!

Yesterday I tried to play my ipod nano and nothing worked. It is on and the main screen comes up but none of the buttons will work. I charged it then went online and did the hold button back and forth trick and holding the menu and select button down but nothing makes it unfreeze. I can't play it in the car or anywhere. It just stays on with no buttons working. What can i do?

it seems a hardware issue, you can try try iPodResQ at your own risk

My iPod screen doesn't work wen I touch it

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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
