Nano problems connecting to radio

ok, i was looking over past posts about connecting to radios and couldnt find anything. I currently have an ipod nano which is really new. i bought an itrip and it didn't work very well. I heard a lot of static and it faded in & out, and everytime i went to a new area of town, it would fade out and i couldnt find another station to switch to. I returned the itrip, and got a different one that had a rechargable battery. It did the same thing. So i was wondering if anyone else had this problem. Also, i want to know if it's my ipod, itrip, or radio/car that needs to be fixed. Also, isnt there a way to connect ur ipod to ur radio if u take out the face of ur radio? maybe that would work better. anyone that knows an answer, pleease respond. THanks!!

It has nothiong to do with the iPod.

Problems connecting Nano 7th generation to bluetooth in car

Why does my new nano 7th generation have problems connecting to my cars's bluetooth. All it does is search, search, search.etc etc etc?

Does your car use the A2DP Bluetooth profile? If not, I'm afraid you won't be able to connect the iPod to your car stereo system via Bluetooth.

I install LION on my mac pro 2008 and it's alway's pop with " there was a problem connecting to the server " Time Capsule" .How can i remove this popup. My Time machine is working fine and also rename it. But the popup keeps on coming with the old name.

I have a BT Infinity router plugged into the Time Capsule, not sure where the radio settings are?
They are able to use the network settings of the TC i.e. they can connect to the internet via the wifi through the TC but when they try and connect to the AirPort Disk this is where it is not allowing a connection.
I don;t have the drive shared out at all at the moment, is this necessary? How do I do this if so?
I have attached the screen shots of all the settings.
Thanks again for your help.

Ipod nano pauses connected to USB in car

My iPod Nano just started pausing every time I connect to the USB Connection in my car. Works fine when not connected. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Hi aj,
Niel's hit on it with the posted article, but I must ask the obvious question: Why start it up with the nano connected at all? Do you have problems connecting after you boot up?

Dell Inspiron 8600 freezes on startup when iPod Nano is connected to USB

I have a Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop and an iPod Nano. If I plug the iPod into the USB port and THEN startup the computer, the computer will reach the screen where it identifies the BIOS version, the one with the white progress bar on black background. The progress bar gets to around 95%, and then freezes forever.
The only remedy is to force shutdown (hold down power switch), unplug the Nano, and restart the computer. If I do it that way, everything is fine.
Is there any known issues with starting up Dell laptops with the iPod connected? Is it trying to boot from my iPod or some silliness like that? Any help is appreciated!
My machine's BIOS is up-to-date, as is my iPod software.

Nano not connecting to iTunes (may be a Norton issue)

When I plug in my iPod Nano to my computer via USB, Norton Anti-Virus pops up to do a scan as it usually does. I haven't updated my Nano in about a month and this is the first time that Norton has froze and not allowed my iPod to connect claiming it wasn't properly ejected (although I hadn't ejected it or physically unplugged it). On my iPod's screen, it says that it's connected via USB, but it isn't showing up in the iTunes source list or on my desktop. I also have an iPhone 4 which doesn't have a problem connecting... it only seems to be my Nano. I've reset my Nano, switched USB ports, and cords and nothing has changed. Is there any way to fix this? I don't know if my Nano is the problem or if the Norton software is getting in the way. Unfortunately, I need to have the Norton software for school. Is there any way to get my iPod to connect?

It's woorking!
Ok, after some 40 hours trying to figure out what was wrong in my case, I think I might have found the problem. The newest ipod software (I think) requires USB 2.0. I have a Dell Dimension 2400 Desktop running Windows XP Pro SP2. There are several USB ports: 2 in the front and 4 in the back. One of the first things I did was go to the device manager and check whether I had USB 2.0. Indeed, there was a USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller. All the problems I encountered were the same whether I used the two ports on the front or the two lower ports on the back. I went to the store for the second time ready to turn in my ipod nano and try to get my money back, but they told me that my computer didn't have a USB 2.0 port and that was the reason I was having trouble. They made me buy a USB 2.0 PCI card and sent me home. Before I proceeded to install the card, I carefully revised my ports. That's when I realized I had a printer connected to another USB port, ánd because of that I didn't notice I had two extra USB ports that carried that funny symbol you will find on the USB ipod connector. I hadn't tried the ipod on the port the printer was connected to, neither on the one next to it. I hooked my ipod to the ipod-virgin port and it worked! Finally! itunes recognized my ipod and I was able to upload songs and all. I didn't realize that even if you have one or two 2.0 USB ports, the others aren't necessarily 2.0 (on the device manager there were other host controllers that were not "Enhanced"). I guess this is what happened. I can't come up with any other explanation.

CK-7W works until radio mute connected to radio

Please can someone assist...
I have had to change my mobile phone and because of the inter-compatibility of Nokia handsfree accessories between Nokia handsfree units I have bought a handsfree unit [CK7W]. I have connected all the previous accessories (without the phone cable [SCU4] as my new phone is not compatible) with the addition of a bluetooth button (CU7) and this is where my problem is seen...
With the ignition switched on but without any phone connected via bluetooth, the radio mutes and will not return to normal unless the radio mute wire (yellow) is disconnected from the radio.
With this radio mute wire disconnected the handsfree unit [CK7W] looks to work as the phone can successfully connect to the handsfree via bluetooth and make/receive calls but obviously does not mute the radio.
My previous handsfree unit [HFU4] with phone cable [SCU4], power cable [PCS4], microphone [HFM8] and speaker [HFS12] worked correctly with the radio mute wire connected to radio.
Is the new handsfree unit (CK7W) likely to be faulty or could something else be the problem?
Many thanks
Mike

If you are sure your wiring is correct then the kit must be faulty, if there is no power on the red wire this will cause the yellow to mute.
Hope this helps.

My Ipod Nano, when connected to HiFi thru RCA cable, cuts out until I disconnect and restart.

have u used the CD that came with the iPod because that does a lot for helping with reconization of the iPod.
but your biggest problem is that your using a Pentium not mention Windows and Acer! are you that cheap???
I'm going to get an iBook G4 buy December because their cooler processors(don't say a thing about speed because that would make you technologically challenged) and their wonderful OS that doesn't crash unless you find a way to make it and reliable software.

Problem connecting iOS devices to AirPort Extreme (5th Generation)

Okay, this is such a weird problem that I just cannot seem to solve. I have a AP Extreme (5th Gen) setup with most of the default settings such as:
Guest Network
WPA/WPA2 Personal on both networks
5Ghz turned off
Radio Mode, 2.4 Ghz mode, 5Ghz mode = Automatic
PPoE (using the AP as my router connected to my DSL modem)
DHCP (with a couple of reserved IPs)
Port Mapping (for a couple of WAN services)
So, here is my issue. The internet on the APE is working perfectly, no problems with any dropped connections or otherwise, everything is functiniong reliabily. The issue is I keep having problems connecting to the wirless networks using iOS devices (iPhones specifically). I have 6 Macs (various models, some g some n) connected wirlessly at most all times and they always remain connected. However, for some reason the network will just drop on the iPhone. After doing a hard reboot of the APE (disconnecting the power), the wireless comes up and I can connect multiple iPhones without issue. However, a day or two go by and all of a sudden the network just will not allow a connection on any iPhones (I've tried about 6+ iPhones, so it's not the configuration of the phone). Sometimes I'll be able to connect to the guest network, other times not. But again, the Macs will connect fine and there are no errors reported with the APE.
I just cannot figure out what the issue could be, why would all of my Macs connect but not a single iPhone? Are there any settings that anyone knows of that I may need to change. Also, would turnning on 5Ghz on this APE negatively affect the performance of my 2.4Ghz network (I do have a couple of machines that could use the wide channel). Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

I have the option of turning on/off the 5GHz network under the Wireless Options (with an additional network name). What does this achieve exactly, does it split the 5GHz and 2.4GHz radios in to separate networks or something? Would it be advisible to turn this on or leave it off?
This option allows you to use a different Network Name for the 5 GHz network. It does NOT actually perform as an on-off switch for this band. By default, both bands use the same Network Name. Both bands ARE separate wireless networks that operate simultaneously.
As far as the Radio Mode options, there is only:
802.11a/n - 802.11b/g/n (Automatic) - Which is what I have it on currently
802.11a/n - 802.11b/g
802.11a - 802.11b/g
Sorry, the "trick" is to hold down the Option key before making a selection. The additional Radio Modes will then appear.

6th gen nano keeps dispalying no radio signal even though I have the earpiece plugged in. Can anyone advise please?

6th gen nano keeps displaying no radio signal even though I have the earpiece plugged in. Can anyone advise? Thanks

Hey there larkandwarbler,
It sounds like you are experiencing multiple issues with this iPod Nano 5th Gen. From what you are describing it seems we can isolate this to either the software or the hardware on the device with a couple of simple steps assuming you have tried another set of headphones. First, reset your iPod with this article:

How to reset an iPod with a Click Wheel
iPod models with a Click Wheel include:
iPod nano (5th generation)
iPod nano (4th generation)
iPod nano (3rd generation)
iPod nano (2nd generation)

Tip: If you are having difficulty resetting your iPod, set it on a flat surface. Make sure the finger pressing the Select button is not touching any part of the click wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Menu button toward the outside of the click wheel, and not near the center.
If the above steps did not work, try connecting iPod to a power adapter and plug the power adapter into an electrical outlet, or connect iPod to your computer. Make sure the computer is turned on and isn't set to go to sleep. Try resetting the iPod while it is connected to power.
If you are able to reset it, but the issue persists, or you are unable to reset it, I would next attempt restoring it with iTunes:

I'm trying to set up my Ipod, but when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could not sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'.

I just bought a 3rd generation ipod touch. It was professionally refurbished. I'm trying to set it up, and everything seems to be working fine, until we get to the wifi. I live on campus and our wifi is username and password protected. I signed in and everything seemed to work fine, and in the top left hand corner I have all the bars for wifi. However, when I go to sign in with an apple ID it says 'Could no sign in: there was a problem connecting to the server'. I've tried turning it on and off again, tried signing on to our wifi again, but it all isn't working. What can I do?

I also encountered the same problem. Try using a different email address or try signing in later.

I am having problems connecting to home wifi. It was working, but now all I get is a blank white screen. I re-booted with no success.

Problems connecting multiple macs to an Airport Extreme network.

I think this problem is similar to a previous post, but is individual in some ways.
I have 2 Airport Extreme basestations covering a large flat connected by Ethernet extending a single network. I did try to extend the network wirelessly, but this was plagued with problems where the network would work for 10 mins, then drop out as I think the basestations are slightly too far apart.
Connected to the network are a number of machines:
Wirelessly we have 3x iPhones, 1x G4 Cube, 1x iMac (current model), 2x MacBook Pro (previous model) & 1x PC.
Wired via a hub is an Apple TV, PS3, Nintendo Wii, Denon Home Cinema Amp, PS2
For aprox 6 months I have had major problems connecting all the wireless machines at the same time. I have played around with the security as per previous posts with varying degrees of success.
I seem to have the most problems with the iMac. The iMac will not join the network when there is any form of wireless security. Every time I try to set up a password it hangs when trying to join and I finally get the "There was a error joining xxxx network".
After more playing around I managed to get all the machines working by having no security on the network and locking the network down by MAC addresses.
Since last Thursday I now have a new problem. The iMac joins and stays on the network perfectly, but the second my second MacBook Pro is switched on and joins the network, the internet connection on the iMac drops out. In addition, as we use the iMac as a media server, all other machines connected to the iMac for either file sharing or iTunes sharing then get the error "the remote machine is failing to respond. Please check firewall settings if there are any". What is strange is that the iMac remains on the network, full signal, independent IP address and the second the MacBook Pro is switched off, works perfectly again.
I have tried wiping both the iMac & the MacBook Pro and re-installing their operating systems, but this only solves the problem for aprox 24 hours then all of a sudden the issue re-appears.
Can anyone out there help?

TS3048 My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

My early 2009 Mac Pro does not connect via bluetooth to my sound bar or bluetooth mini speakers. Both my wireless keyboard and mouse have no problems connecting. What do I need to do to connect to external bluetooth devices?

I would always have a wired keyboard and mouse on hand (need not be expensive ... any cheap wired devices will work). "Emergency recovery" procedures can activate features in random order, so the opportunity to select a recovery partition may pass before the wireless devices are recognized.
That will let you select the "turn on Bluetooth" icon.

Problem connecting MacBook to a Sharp video projector

One of the great things I like about Macs is the easy way they (usually) connect to a video projector. Unlike a lot of my friends who run PCs with Windows I never had any problems whatsoever connecting my MacBook to a projector at the university and start my presentations.
Until today that is.
I tried to connect my MacBook with Apple's mini-DVI to VGA adapter to a Sharp ("Notevision") video projector and although the MacBook had the projector (even with its correct name "PG-M20X" and available resolution settings) listed under "Displays" immediately, I couldn't get the projector to show any more than "no signal" whatever input source I chose...
What did I do wrong? Or is it the projector that is somehow "incompatible"?! Please help!

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9) Core Duo 2GHz, July 2006

Maybe this could help as well:
After we tried several things with the MacBook (reboot, "detect displays" etc.), we successfully connected a Powerbook (15", FireWire 800, late 2003) to the projector, using Apple's DVI-VGA Adapter.
So that did work out fine, but the MacBook didn't work on the projector. The cable that came with the projector was a VGA--DVI-A cable: there were only a few pins on the DVI-end of it going into the DVI-Connector on the projector. Could it have something to do with that? But why didn't the Powerbook have any problems connecting to the projector then?
