My iPod touch is not playing through my stero

My iPod touch 4g is not playing through my stero. My stero has a dock that you can plug in your iPod or iPhone and you are able to select music to listen to. My iPod used to be able to do it but now it won't. My iPod shows that it is conected, but everytime I try to pres play on a song it will not play through the speakers of my stero. It does say it is playing, but it is not playing through the speakers of my stero. My steros speakers work just fine. It did however play my dads iPhone, so I know it is just my iPod touch.

No good.

My iPod Touch will not play through external speakers when it is docked. It only plays through it's internal speaker. All the other functions on the iPod can be controlled by the external speakers (volume,track, etc). How do I fix this?

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books

My 2nd generation ipod touch will not play audio books. How do I fix this? I downloaded the books from iTunes on my computer. I loaded them on my ipod. It shows them on my ipod. It will go to the menu where you can choose which book and then actually pulls up the book then acts like it is going to play. Then it just goes back to the list of books. It won't play any of them. It will play music though.
How do I fix this?

The books do play in iTunes on the computer, right?

IPod touch has stopped playing through docking station, please help

Please help, my ipod touch has stopped playing through my docking station, what should I do?

Undock the Touch, get a flashlight and inspect the docking connector. Clear any dust/debris you find. Do the same on your docking station.

My iPod touch will not play or charge on my non apple dock since the software was updated,why is this?

My iPod touch used to play and charge in my non apple dock but now will do neither. Looking back it appears to have stopped working when the software was updated to 5.1. Why is this?

There are two sides to this. On the one hand, an Apple upgrade bricked your dock and that bites. On the other hand, Apple can't be expected to design around 3rd party devices that don't follow the specifications. We don't know why Apple made this particular change that bricked your dock so it is difficult to judge whether or not there was a good reason behind it. We also do not know why AIVN didn't follow the specification but it was probably cost related.
Note: If you sell the iPod, you'll still have a non-functioning dock. You can sell it to someone with an older iPhone or iPod that can't be updated to iOS 5.1.

Ipod Touch is not playing music through doc.

Ipod Touch (3rd gen) is not playing music through doc. No problem until yesterday. It still works fine off doc but as of yesterday it will only either charge (most of the time) or play music (rare), Not both. Also the message "accessory is not supported by ipod touch" periodically shows up on the ipod touch screen.
My other daughters ipod touch (2nd gen) works on this doc as normal. Also, both of these ipod touches still work on my 2nd daughters stereo doc normally.
Both are on software 4.2.1

Look into the dock connector on the problem iPod. Look for dirt, debris, bent or broken connector and other abnormalities. Compare with the working iPod.

IPod Touch apps not working through proxy

Prior to upgrading to the latest iPod Touch software, most of my apps worked through the proxy while on the wireless network at my business. Now, only Safari and few select apps seem to work.
Any ideas?

Hello All!
I think most of the problems you see are not realy issues caused by the proxy but the OS of the IPod.
I've had some Problems using Apps at Work using manual configured proxy settings.
Just a short story:
Usind OS 2.x Mail syncing Exchange worked prefect. Safari and Appstore too.
Youtube wasn't working cause Ipod first asked DNS Server for IP-Address of an Apple Server (I call IPod Proxy) and our DNS Servers are not allowed to resolve such Names.
Then I upgraded to OS 3.x. Same manual Proxy settings resulted in Mail syncing Exchange wasn't working.
Sniffed the Network for the traffic the IPod was sending an saw the following:
IPod asked DNS for proxy Server IP address, got answer.
IPod asked Proxy for URL to Exchange-Server and Proxy denied the request cause the Firewall denies Proxy (in DMZ) to connect to internal Servers.
Then I looked for exclusion list (don't use Proxy for domains ...) and found noting. So this feature isn't there!?
Then I switched from manual Proxy configuration to Automatic and created a proxy.pac file which url I gave the IPod
In the Proxy.pac file I used the "FindProxyForUrl" function to determine if the URL contains our local Domain or not. So if the URL contains our local Domain then the script returns to go direct with no proxy. Otherwise the script returns the name and port of the proxy
Here is the Script I use. This makes Mail (and maybe other Apps) working
function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
if (isPlainHostName(host)) {
return "DIRECT";
else if (shExpMatch(host,"*.our-local-domain.com")) {
return "DIRECT";
else {
return "PROXY Proxy-Server:port";
Never the less: I did not make Youtube app working with our Proxy (Squid proxy on Windows). When I'm using Microsoft ISA Server 2006 to connect to the Internet then I can at least search for Videos in the Youtube App (after Changing settings of our DNS Servers to resolve external Names) but I cannot play them cause the Video player in the IPod obivously doesn't care about Proxy settings (Sniffing the Network shows IPod trying to connect directly to Youtube/Google Servers and here is the Firewall saying NO"
So maybe problems using Apps with a configured Proxy could be because Apple does not have a "Don't use Proxy for" configuration. Youtube (and all other Apps using Video Player to play Video) do not work cause the Video Player does not care about Proxies (so many Video Players )
Perhaps someone at the Apple Support reads this and cares about

Safari on iPod Touch will not play WAV voicemails

Our campus voicemail system is accessible through a web browser and plays back its audio in WAV format (using the GSM6.10 codec). If I use Safari or Firefox on OS X it plays the voicemail, but when I use Safari on the iPod Touch it tells me that it "cannot play movie: Movie could not be played."
Wouldn't it make more sense for a mobile platform to support as many of the .WAV codecs as possible, especially if the desktop OS already does?

I worked with another person a week or so ago and the issue is the limited mobile Safari version support for playback.
However, the touch MAIL program has no problems playing WAV files.
What I suggested the OP do was set up a Gmail account and set their touch up to download that Gmail account. They then forwarded the email with voice mail to their Gmail account and were able to play it back.

PLEASE HELP! My Ipod touch will not play anything from or in itunes.

I don't know what to do. For the first 4 months everything was great then all of a sudden my Ipod would no longer play anything from or in itunes. I can not transfer anything from itunes to it either. It looks like it has been transferred on the ipod and in itunes under my device but it will not play anything. I can download directly into the ipod and its fine. I listen to audio books from library sites as well as buy them but now it does not work unless it can go directly in the ipod which library sites need to come from your computer and them be transferred after its downloaded. Can anyone help me? I even have a brand new ipod thinking it was the other one but its not. I have windows 7 64 bit. Also I have uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing changes. Thank you.

New Ipod Touch will not play in BMW

I have a new Ipod touch that I bought from Apple. My 2010 BMW 128c will not recognized this Ipod touch or my wifes Ipod touch. It will recognize the one I bought my son at Best Buy. It also would not work with my previous BMW X5. I am using the adapter cable that came with the BMW. I work for BMW and they don't have any ideas. Is there a setting on Ipod touch that I need to turn on.

The problem may very well be the OS version you're using (3.0 or later). There were many reports of problems when Apple introduced 3.0 and it has been a problem ever since. In my case, when I changed from 2.2.1 to 3.0 my '09 Honda Fit lost the ability to select Artists, Playlists, etc. (but at least it plays). I was able to step back to 2.2.1 for awhile and it functioned correctly, but I decided to go back to 3.x once I realized that Apple wasn't going to fix this, and I wanted some of the 3.x features. I recall seeing that BMW, Mercedes, and a few other accessories were affected.
If your son's Touch works OK in your BMW, what OS version does he have? Chances are that it is version 1 or 2. You can blame Apple, but it may also be accessory manufacturers not following Apple's standards -- we'll never know, but one thing for sure is that this issue does not have Apple's attention since the problem remains after multiple OS releases since 3.0.

IPod touch does not play songs in 2012 BMW iDrive

My iPod touch cannot play songs in BMW iDrive. It is recognized as Auxillary Front, and is not recognized as USB connection via Y-cable. The song stops playing after 5-10 seconds. However, my iPad and friend's iPod Nano works. Any idea?

What model iPod and iOS do you have?
When it plays with the iPod are y using the same connection?
Does BMW's site say that it works with your model iPod and iOS?
have you tried resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Ipod touch will not play music on Apple TV

I have recently purchased Apple TV. For the most part i have no issues. However iPod touch will airplay video to Apple TV but no icon appears to airply music. Mucsic and video will airplay from my iPhone 4 and my iPad, but iPod touch's gen 2, 3 and 4 will only play video. Can someone help or refer me to a post where this has been resolved?
Thanks in advance.

I have had the same issue since getting the iBooks 1.5 upgrade. Now whenever I go into iBook my music just fades out and stops as if I opened a program that will be using the audio. I have tried the back up and reset, etc. to no avail.
The funny thing is that I can open an App like Angry Birds where I have the audio muted and music will continue playing. Seems as if it is a bad update to iBooks. My iPod Touch is the 8GB from the prev generation, not sure if that would matter based on the App.
