My ipod (older one) does not connect to my dvd player which has an ipod docking station

i have a samsung 3d dvd player that has a ipod docking station but my ipod wont connect - i have an older version of the ipod (one of the first ones to come out); could this be the reason

I have had this happen with numerous stereos and docking stations. What I've learned to do is bring my iPod into the store with me before I purchase any new electronics. I have no idea why this happens (or rather, doesn't happen), but it does. I think Apple is trying to get us to buy new iPods. :-)

  • 5610 All-in-one Does not connect to my Dell Laptop so I cannot Print or Scan.

    My USB Cable is connected to my printer and laptop. The printer does not want to print even a document from word. When i look at my installed printers it says the document is printing but nothing prints. I also cannot scan. The message I get is that there is no connection between my laptop and my printer. I have no idea what port to use also when adding this printer again. It was working fine before, then somehow I uninstalled the program but re-installed it today. I ckecked that both plugs goes in correctly at the printer and the laptop. It can still make copies. When I want to service the printer it says No Hp Product detected. Please help :-(

    Hi @Yogibears,
    I can help you with not being able to print or scan on your Vista computer.
    Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet and the USB cable is connected directly to the computer. The USB cable shouldn't be longer then 6 feet. Try another USB port on the computer. You might have to try another USB cable to see if that is causing this issue.
    I have provided a document to check to see why the USB isn't being detected on the computer to try.
    Windows: 'Device Setup Failed to Complete' or 'Unknown Device' Message Displays on the Computer Duri...
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. Find and fix common printer problems using HP diagnostic tools for Windows?
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    Please let me know if you require any additional assistance.
    Have a fantastic day!
    Thank You.

  • DVD Does not play in regular DVD Player

    So I created my DVD and it does not play in a regular DVD player but it will play on my mac. I have had issues before with it being formatted as an HD DVD on the older version of DVD Studio Pro so I checked that and it is formatted as an SD DVD. So I checked the Build log and found notes saying that certain files were not part of the DVD directory and would not be included on the DVD. I have never seen anything like this before so I am assuming that is my issue, but I have no idea how to solve this.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    The warnings are the normal ones I am guessing (.lay will not be included etc.)
    When you open the DVD in finder on the Mac, do you see folders called VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS or are there pother folders? If so then you may have made a HD DVD again. Could be the issue, or your old build location still had old HD DVD files in it.
    What type of media (brand?) did you use? How many players did you try?

  • I have downloaded a movie on I tunes and burned it to disc. But it does not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

    As I  put above I bought a movie from I Tunes but when I burned it to a DVD it will not paly on a regular 2007 model DVD player. Can anyone advise if I am doing something wrong?

    Movies purchased from the iTunes Store are normally protected by Apple's 'FairPlay' DRM. As such you cannot burn them in a useable form on to a disc.

  • Does not Stretch on Computer DVD player

    hi everyone.
    I just burned a DVD using iDVD... I have that working now, which is nice.
    Here is my question:
    When I put the DVD into my computer DVD player and view it at fullscreen.. it does not stretch the image the full wide and height of the screen.
    My question, I guess, is there an option or way to have the movie go full screen and take up ALL the space on the screen when in full screen mode?
    Right now the video has big black bars on the left and right sides of the screen.
    thoughts/comments?
    thanks
    Dean

    If you made the DVD for a standard TV, the aspect ratio is 4:3. Your computer monitor has a much wider aspect ratio (probably close to 16:9). This means you WILL have black bars on each side. I don't know of any computer DVD player that stretches a 4:3 image to 16:9 thereby making everyone look fat! (I hate to walk into someone's house and see 4:3 content stretched to 16:9 on an HDTV set.)

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

  • Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer.

    Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer. The version installed on my ipod is 7.1.2(11D257).

  • HT2292 I recently got a new ipod touch and the new one will not connect to itunes.  I've done all the troubleshooting and now I'm just plain frustrated.  With the new update my old ipod froze and best buy gave me a new one. What to do?

    My ipod recenly froze with the last update.  bestbuy gave me a replacement.  the new one will not connect to the computer or itunes.  i followed all the instructions and - nothing.  It's frustrating enough as i lost all my notes and work, but now I can't connect to sync with itunes.  i don't get it.  i'm not a supertech so i don't know what to do. help!!!!!!

    Thanks, Bob!  You are correct.  And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE).  One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
    1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind.  Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
    2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
    Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers.  Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
    I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
    In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

  • My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

    "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore."  When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it.  The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
    I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore).  Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data. 
    I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data. 
    Thanks in advance!

    Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC?  Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
    To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

  • 5th gen ipod does not connect to mac desktop or itunes

    My ipod does not connect with my desktop or itunes (ie when I plug the ipod in using the original USB cable nothing happens--no charging no recognition that it has been connected). My nano does work with the same cable so I know it's not that. I've followed the support instructions resetting, downloading the latest software and restarting. I cannot, however, restore since the first step of the instruction is to connect the ipod and wait for it to show in the source list in itunes. It is also interesting that when I use the car charger the ipod does charge and shows the charging icon.
    Any suggestions?

    I guess i can lend my voice to the conversation. my ipod "locks up" when i connect to my computer also. i just updated itunes and have not been able to connect. there is no ipod folder on my computer when i search through ""finder". i have to "reset" it after i disconnect to continue to play it. i have done everything short of "restoring" due to i have over 3000 songs and i'm unable to back up. the manuel refers to a disk to update. i can only play songs, and recharge. need help to.

  • Ipod 4th gen does not play music from list automatically. just plays one and repeats it.

    ipod 4th gen does not play from list automatically. it just plays one at a time and then repeats it until i select another.
    how do i set it to play all on playlist?

    On the left side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar is the repeat control. It is the arrowed racetrack icon. Tap the icon until it is white for no repeat.
