"old" Universal Dock not working with iPod Classic/iPhone

I purchased the Universal Dock back when it came out. Now I have upgraded to a new Classic & iPhone and neither seem to work to the TV through it. I took having to spend another $49 on the chin and bought the new composite AV cable, which by the way does work with YouTube after Apple told me it wouldn't, nice bonus. The new cable works great (haven't tried charging yet), however, plugged into the dock, the remote works, but I get no audio or video out to the TV. iPhone gives me the standard not compatible and wants to go into airport mode which is fine, but then the video plays on it's (iPhone) screen. The Classic pretends everything is working great. Do I have to go spend another $49 on a new "Universal" dock now?

Did you already have a look here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233? It specifies exactly what combinations of cables, docks, and iPod models do and don't work. Looks like the old dock doesn't work with the new iPod's.

Purchased games will not work with iPod Classic 160GB

I purchased the original seven games (Bejeweled, Cubis 2, Mahjong, PAC-MAN, Tetris, Vortex, Zuma) offered by Apple when they were released for the 5th generation video iPod. That iPod has since died and been replaced by a iPod 160GB Classic. Like all of my purchased songs, I expected my purchased games to be compatible with my iPod. The games in iTunes are only listed as compatible with 5th generation iPod. I was happy to discover that there is a Check for Updates button at the bottom of iTunes so I assumed that all that I needed to do to be compatible with my new iPod is click on that button. Nothing seems to happen though. With the exception of Vortex which seems to no longer be available, all of the other games currently posted in the iTunes store show that they are compatible with the iPod Classic. It would seem evident that the Check for Updates button would address this issue. Why don't I see anything happening when I click on the button? I know that I must be doing something wrong since all of my purchased songs did not need to be repurchased to be compatible. I am guessing that I could repurchase all of these applications to make it work but I do not think that would be fair nor does it sound correct.

in another discussion I read that you are supposed to rebuy the games from itunes store
I am having the same problem with my new 120gig classic

Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ?

I am very interested in this product. But not sure if Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ? Has anyone out there with a ipod video also has this. Does it dock well with say iPod Video 30G ?

as long as it has the same connecter it should be fine.
if you get one make sure the ipod fits in the cradle well.
if it wiggles too much or seems to be leaning further back than it should either put something around it to keep it standing up or return it and get a different kind.

HT1369 Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync with iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple sloution?

Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G. Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch? Is there a simple solution. Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

Does Apple TV work with iPod Classic?

I was told by an Apple Store person on the phone that Apple TV will allow me to get my iPOd to work on the Tv I purchased the next day. Then I come to this website and it does not mention iPod Classic. DOes iPod Classic work with Apple TV? From my understanding Apple TV allows access to a person iTunes library and actually uses iTunes rather than the ipod. So I am not sure why it would not work with an iPod classic. Please advise.

Winston,
So what does this mean? You never stated weather or not IPOD Classic will work with Apple TV. It insinuates that Classic doesn't run with iOS, but doesn't state it. Why can't Steve's question have a yes or no answer? Do you work for Apple? Apple has a terrible reputation for not fulfilling implied functions. If it requires a lot of headache to make it work with Classic, then call it out clearly on the box.
To anyone who knows;
Is the answer "yes"......"no".......or "not without installing ?? application found ???"

Converted home videos to itunes not working with ipod touch

So I finally was able to convert some home movies to itunes but now they will not work with my ipod touch. I get a error message saying "can not be played on this ipod". I also can't get the movies to work with my ipod video (classic) either, how do I fix this? And yes there is enough space for the videos.

if the files are in iTunes, select one (or all) and choose +create iPod or iPhone version+ from the advanced menu. try syncing the newly created file(s) to your Touch.
what happens ?

Ios 7 not compatible with Ipod classic

Ever since Itunes updated to IOS7 my Ipod classic that has been completely reliable for about four years is now unable to sync. I get a wide variety of responces from itunes while trying. It says the disc is not located, compatable, or sometimes it pretends to sync but only about 20 songs out of my 8,000+ songs were synced. I've tried everything from restoring (about 8 times total), trying to fix any bugs through my windows7 on the device, and only attempting to put on certain playlists- only to have the same results.
I do hope that the Apple people know of this problem and are trying to resolve it because I would be very irritated to find that I can no longer use my Ipod. (its 160 gig)
-If you know of anything that could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

iOS has nothing to do with the iPod Classic, it is used on the iPod Touch and iPhone.
Your Classic uses firmware (the operating system) 1.1.2. Nothing whatsoever to do with iOS.
I suggest you have a browse through the Classic discussions and iTunes discussions for anything concerning problems with iPod Classic syncing, as I have noticed a few posts on that topic. I have not experienced any issues myself with my iPod Classic, running 1.1.2 for PC.
Since there has been no update to the iPod Classic's firmware (operating system) for quite a while, the problems that I have noticed in the discussions, that mention partial Playlist syncing, additional songs not being synced etc. are more likely to be associated with updates to iTunes, which is now on version 11.1.38.

Polarioid pogo printer not working with ipad and iphone

And I can not believe how that truly *****... I am traveling through the states and bought the pogo to print on the road... Only to find out that it does not work with ipad and does not work with iphone... Unless I jailbreak my phone which I don't really want to do...
Apple wants us to go mobile and clouding and all those things, yet, when we do go mobile and try a mobile life style, we are encountering so much technical crap that we loose the will to live...
I could have spend the hundred dollar for the pogo to have pics printed out in every kiosk in the country...
WWhen is Apple going to come to its senses about little life savers like the pogo and bluetooth???????
Is anyone aware of a work around so I can print on the go? And a solution that does not involve a programmers brain because my single braincell is not working while traveling... It needs to be easy!

To cut through all the rage and anger and "knowing" who wanted what, the Pogo has been out for a year or so, well before Mr. Jobs' passing, and Apple did not make any mention of supporting printing on anything other than Airprint compatible printers.
Since Airprint is a Wi-Fi/ethernet thing, Polaroid would have to make a significant redesign to the Pogo. Considering that the first iPhones only supported Bluetooth headsets and Apple didn't provide any indications about increasing Bluetooth support, Polaroid's decision for the Pogo to be Bluetooth was obviously not with iOS devices in mind. This is why initially Polaroid had links on the FAQ to tell Apple to add Bluetooth printing support (so that in effect, asking Apple to pay for the expenses to make the iPhone compatible with the Pogo, rather than Polaroid paying to make the Pogo compatible with iOS.)
I come from a photograpic background. I got the Pogo as soon as it came out. I quite literally was on Polaroid's website every day checking to see when I could order it. Having "instant" sticker prints is wonderful at family picnics with all the kids. While it would be great to be able to get Pogo prints from anyone's iPhone, I stopped holding my breath when Apple announced Airprint, which came well after the Pogo was released. So I took that as the sign that it was probably never going to happen. (I knew that the Pogo wasn't iOS compatible when I bought it so not having compatiblity is not a deal-breaker for me. But, yes, it would be nice.)
I now use a Polaroid Z340 since it's a 14 megapixel camera that prints larger 3x4 Zink prints. Polaroid makes the GL10, which is basically a Pogo using the same printer as the Z340. But it's still Bluetooth only. So while I sympathize with the desire to have a really compact portable printer like the Pogo, iOS compatibility just does not seem to be on the horizon. IMHO, it would be more realistic that Polaroid create an app to do Bluetooth printing. But considering Polaroid's financial issues, I'm not holding my breath

Sony docking station speaker not working with iPod touch

We bought a Sony docking station for the iPod touch (4th generation) we got our son for his birthday. The speaker on the docking station works when playing the radio, but not the iPod touch. We returned the docking station for another, and we are having the same problem. Which is why I am pretty sure the problem is the iPod touch and not the docking station. The docking station actually will charge the iPod, just not project sound out of the speaker with the iPod. It will, however, project sound out of the speaker when using the radio.
Is there anything simple I could be missing in settings? I can't figure this out. TIA!
Nick's mom

Use the communities search box in the upper right and search for
sony.
The go to advanced search and limit search to the the iPod touch forum.
Recently there has been several users posted here with the same problem with a Sony dock. I do not recall if it was solved.

Video Out not working on Ipod Classic 80gb

I can't get video out to work on anything. I have a relatively new Onkyo home theater with an iPod dock that has video out cables, and I can't get a picture to show up on the TV. Also, my gym has StarTrac cardio equipment which has video connectivity through a built-in iPod dock. Video is supposed to show up on the TV monitor attached to the cardio machines, but all I get is "no signal".
Since I can't get either of them to work, is something wrong with my iPod?
Thanks!

When you want to show the video on your TV, have you selected TV out in the video settings options?
If that's not the problem, check this page, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 to ensure you have the correct cable for your iPod, although you need to ensure you have identified your iPod model correctly. Check http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 if you're not sure because there is a crucial difference between the Classic and the 5th generation video models. (On the *iPod and iPhone: TV out support* page - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454 - look at the third table down, headed *Apple Component AV Cable with iPod Universal Dock or Apple Universal Dock* .) Notice that the Apple Universal Dock and Component cable combination works for an iPod Classic, but not for the 5th gen iPod. My point being; if the STarTrac device you mention has a built-in dock, perhaps it's designed for the iPod Classic, but if you have the 5th gen, it won't work.
... and no, I don't know why one dock is called the Apple Universal Dock, while the other is called iPod Universal Dock! Such a similar naming convention only leads to confusion. I know, I had to examine each box in my local store to find the iPod dock among all the Apple docks they had since they thought both docks were identical.

Itunes 10.6.1.7 will not sync with ipod classic. When is Apple going to fix this!!!!

After upgrading to the latest version of iTunes - 10.6.1.7 my iPod classic is not recognized and I cannot sync it.
The iPod does appear as a drive on my computer (with Windows XP). The screen message syas the ipod is corrupted. Did a disk check on ipod in disk mode and tried again. No success.
I've gone through the steps for troubleshooting;
It worked fine before I upgraded iTunes and I'm at a loss on how to fix this.

Try the steps listed on the linked pages in the answer below you up to the restore part. If it looks good, trying doing a System Restore in Windows XP to the day before you upgraded it, reverting it back to the older version of i-tunes. But, if something in the previous steps points to a hard drive issue, this won't help you.

Brian

IPod Camera Connector won't work with iPod Classic 80GB?

I am trying to connect my iPod Classic (80GB) to my Canon 40D camera--to upload my images directly from camera to iPod. When I try, I get a message saying "Accessory is not supported." My local Apple store genius said that the iPod connectors only work with older iPods. I find it hard to believe that they'd eliminate such an important capacity on a newer version. Is he right? Or is there a way I can make it work?

I have sent Apple feedback a couple times in the past few years asking for the camera connector to come back and work with the ipod touch. The more people ask, the better.
Is it true that the new version of the SDK will allow apps to access the USB interface of the ipod touch? If that happens, then maybe some third party company can make something similar.

Get Memorex iFlip to work with Ipod Classic.

I have an iPod classic 160GB - Black and a Memorez iFlip and no idea why the video is not working. The sound works find andd wanted to know if this is just the firmware. Does anybody else have this problem??? Should I get rid of my iFlip??? Thanks for the help.

There is a way ... but it involves buying two or three seperate products, besides the iPod Classic, of course.
1. Apple-Brand Composite A/V Cable or Apple-Brand Component A/V Cable
2. Portable DVD Player, Video Player, etc with Component or Composite A/V Port
Also Possibly Needed:
3. Component -> Composite A/V Cable (If #2 does not have a Component Input Port)
It's the much more expensive and possibly annoying way to go, but ... since I like using my iPod on my bigscreen with my HD Component cable, and I already have a DVD player with a Composite Video-In port, I just needed to buy a converter cable ($8 at Radio Shack).
It's no where near as nice as having a single item designed just for the iPod ... but, on the other hand, most portable iPod Video players don't also play DVDs and cost less than about $200 all-together with a 8.5" viewable screen. Realistically, $200 bucks and one or two extra cables that are usable in other ways might actually be a better investment than a $200+ iPod-only Video player.

Will iPhone cable work with iPod classic?

Will the combination iPhone/BT headset cable that came with my iPhone also charge my iPod classic?

The cable that came with the iPhone should charge any iPod with a 30 pin connection. I charge my nano with the iPhone dock/cable.
