Play IPOD through my stereo system

I bought a cheap Phillips chord to plug my ipod through my stereo system. The sound is different from song to song (as in loudness/brightness)and i have to keep adjusting the stereo volume or settings...is this NORMAL or is there somehting i am doing completely wrong......I have a good stereo systema nd would hate to have to buy an ipod sound system to play my ipod in the house when i have a perfectly good stereo system. Could it be the 6.99 phillips chord? am i supposed to change some settings somewhere?? THX again folks for your help.

If I'm not mistaken, choosing that setting in your iTunes prefs doesn't effect iPod playback when it's not hooked up to a computer. If you need to normalize sound levels on your iPod, go to the settings in your iPod menu and turn on Sound Check.

How do I get my new iPod Touch 64 Gb to play music through my stereo system

As a newbie owner of an iPod Touch 64GB I am trying to figure out how to get music on my Touch to play through my home stereo system. Is there a way to use the output from the Touch via the earphone plug to input to a stereo pre-amplifier to play my music.
Thanks for your help in advance.
PS I realize that I could purchase an Airport Express base station and do it wirelessly.

I cant shuffle tracks in playlists like before on latest itunes and when playing ipod through car stereo it will only placks in the 'correct'order - even if i select shuffle on the ipod itself.

i mostly use my ipod in a car system through the oe radio (audi a4) - if you connect an ipod and play tracks, evene when setting songs to shuffle it stil plays in the correct order.
in the past i have made and shuffled playlists then they played fine. since 'upgrading' to the latest itunes it does not now let me do this. you can shuffle tracks but it does not physically re-list the tracks like it used to.
any help on this woulod be greatly appreciated!
thanks

Playing iPod through car stereo

Hi,
It plays just fine except it won't shuffle songs, and the battery drains when the car is off. The iPod needs to be ejected when the battery is down, the car started and the iPod reconnected for it to work (except it still won't shuffle).
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can offer

It sounds like the car stereo to me. Try getting one of those wireless transmiteras for the radio and see it if is still doing the volume jumps. If not then it is your stereo and if so them it is the iPod.

I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo. I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock. Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo. I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock. Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal). However, I just created my own solution. The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection. Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit. It's a no-tech solution, and free!

I'm a singer and recently bought a Macbook Pro. I'd like to use it to play music through my PA system but it doesn't seem compatible as no sound is coming through. It is however coming through my smaller Bose system.

I'm a singer and recently bought a Macbook Pro. I'd like to use it to play music through my PA system but it doesn't seem compatible as no sound is coming through. It is however coming through my smaller Bose system. My main system is Alto APM80.1000 with Proel speakers.

Hi it's a headphone jack and two larger (microphone type jacks?) at the other end. Please excuse my not not knowing the name of anything - I know where everything goes but not the names! So if I press Alt and the sound icon at the same time what output should I be choosing?
I've tried plugging into the red and white tape in tape out and the front of the amp with a headphone/red and white jack lead and a slight sound comes out but of bad quality.
When I'm going through my bose it's an easy headphone to headphone lead and is working perfectly.
Thanks

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out. I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from m

If anyone can help i would be hugely grateful, I'm literally pulling my hair out.
I bought the Airport express so i could surf the web and wireless play music through my stereo simultaneously. Can I do this? I've managed to play music wirelessly from my macbook to the express/stereo, however i cant surf the web because i can only presume i haven't set up the express to join my sky network. So therefore the only way to surf the web at the moment is swap wireless devices from express back to my current sky network, then the airplay stops obviously.
I've tried to join the express to my sky network/netgear router, at face value it looks simple. The sky network name automatically comes up and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using, then type in the password which i presume is the network key number on the back of the netgear router? However its not connecting?? I am doing something wrong?
Can someone please give me some guidence on how to connect express to my current network?

and then all i have to do is select the correct wireless security which i haven't got a clue which one my sky/netgear router is using
Suggest that you ask Sky what type of wireless security that is used on the devices that they provide.
Once you have that information, you can choose the correct matching setting when you configure the AirPort Express to "join" the Sky wireless network.
The "password" would be the normal phrase that you use to connect to your wireless network at the present time.

Playing iPod through hifi system

I have a mini stereo jack connected from the auxiliary output of my stereo system which I plug into the iPod to play through the amp and big speakers. This worked fine when I was synced via my PC but now that I have changed it to Mac the sound is massively distorted. What gives?
Terry

OK, sorted it myself. I remembered that to play it previously I had to use the phono out jacks, which I thought odd at the time. Changed the leads over to the DAT out and it works fine. I don't know if this represents a difference between the two systems, or whether it's just one of those little mysteries peculiar to my case.

Using iPod Touch remotely while playing back through home stereo.

Hey, I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm interested in knowing if there is a set of accessories I can buy that will allow me to do this:
I want to play music through my home stereo. I want to use the iPod Touch to select which music is played, and I don't want to have to have the Touch plugged into anything.
The music doesn't necessarily need to be played from the Touch, it can be played from my computer instead, the Touch would just need to be able to control and browse my iTunes in this case. Or alternatively the Touch could stream music to some sort of station connected to the stereo.
Is this possible right now or do I need to wait for a new product to allow me to do this.
Lets say price is no concern right now, is there anything out there that would allow me to do this?
Thanks

there is a web application currently that would allow the touch to remotly control ur itunes on ur computer i have not tried it....but it seems like it would be what u are interest in.....

Playing ipod through guitar amplifier (stereo/mono)

I play acoustic guitar gigs and would like to play my ipod through my amp during breaks. When I plug my ipod in, only the left signal comes out.
I need to use a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter. I tried:
1) stereo to stereo
2) stereo to mono
Same result both times. Any ideas?
iMac

Nevermind. The 1/8" to 1/4", stereo to mono, appears to do what I need.

Playing ipod through stereo

I was told once that you could play your ipod music through your radio. All that needed to be done is place the ipod next to the radio and set the radio to a particular station and the radio would play your music through it. Is this true? If so, how does it work ( what station do I use?) I can not find any info anywhere...please help!

I must be experiencing the luck of the Irish or something, because I also tested the iTrip in regards to range as well, and I used it to play my iPod on my 900 dollar stereo, and as long as nothing came in between the iTrip (which was of course connected to the iPod) and the Stereo, I could hear crystal clear music in Stereo, from the next room which is like 15 to 20 feet. I'd say that was pretty darn good for a little piece of equipment like the iTrip. This is just my experience with it, I'm not saying that you or anyone else aren't having troubles.

Playing MUVO through car stereo, ie: iTrip on iPod

Hi i was wondering if there was any plans by creative to bring out an adapter like the iTrip to play the MP3 player through the stereo of my car... or would anyone know if something is already out by creative or someone else that would work on my MUVO2 FM to do the same thing as an iTrip or similar, any help would be greatly appriciated.. Thanks
Andrew

Airport Express only plays music through one stereo speaker.

I have my stereo system connected to an airport express through a monster cable. It only ever plays through one speaker. If I connect my iPod to the stereo through the same monster cable connection it plays through both speakers. Does anyone have any idea why music only plays through one speaker when I play it wirelessly through airport express? Thanks.

HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
(if your airport is out of warranty, you don't want to pay for a repair, and you don't mind how it looks)
After reading many forums about this, it seems that the problem is a simple design one - the connector in the headphone jack input is a bit badly thought out; it bends out of connection easily, and there is nothing to spring it back into place. So, after a bit of usage and plugging/unplugging jacks in, it bends far enough to stop the connection.
It can be (sort of) easily fixed...
What you need is a small screwdriver and a hammer.
Pries the casing open (this will partly destroy it forever) by hammering in the screwdriver into the gap in the casing. Do this gradually at various points all around it until it start to come apart.
You will then be able to open in (partially)
If you look inside there is a connector that needs to be disconnected so that the two halves can come apart. disconnect this.
Next, unscrew all the screws you can see (using a 00 philips head screwdriver) These screws both hold the circuitry to the case and a metal dividing plate over the headphone/printer/ethernet jacks.
Pull the metal cover off (the cover that covers the components)
You will then see a circuit board that contains the headphone jack, carefully remove this (It is connected by a removable connector.)
You now have the headphone input and it's circuitry in your hand.
You will notice that the H-P input has a small metal case around it. Carefully prise this off.
Now you see a yellow sticker and underneath this - THE OFFENDING ITEM (BAD CONNECTOR)
Peel the sticker off carefully (you need to put it back on afterwards)
Push the connector into the H-P Input - make sure you bend it and it pokes out in the H-P hole so it will make a nice connection.
Put it all back together again.
Wrap it in duck tape or selotape (as the case is now a bit broken)
That's it - that's all you have to do!
Music in both channels!!
Did this with mine and it works perfectly now - just be careful with the circuit boards when taking apart.

Itunes won't play anymore through external sound system

My mac functions as a Protools recording studio. The hardware (a Digi002 system) attaches to my G5 by firewire. Until recently, itunes worked just fine playing through this external system. I'd simply go to system preferences, change the sound inputs and outputs to Digi002.
These days I can still get all of my pro music software to play through this external Digi002 system. But something has gone amiss with itunes. It doesn't matter if itunes is already open, or not yet open. If I go to sound preferences and switch it to DIGI002, itunes ONLY plays through my internal compouter speaker. And if i go back to the sound preferences, i find that the external audio choice had been unchecked, as if by some function within itunes itself.
i have asked this same question on the Protools forum. Respondees give mixed answers, but basically say, yes it used to work, and no, it no longer works. Some say it WILL work, but you have to fire up your sound system BEFORE you turn on your computer. That is a totally disfunctional "solution" for my situation. Who wants to keep a sound system on all day long, when I may not use it for several hours at a time?
So what's going on here? And what did I install that made itunes suddenly not function with my external system? I strongly suspect it may be some newer version of itunes itself. If so, is there some workaround utility that will let me re-connect itunes to the Digi system? any help is appreciated.

Hate to do this, but we've gotta start with the simple **** first, and work our way up. The volume control in iTunes isn't turned down, is it?
Aside from that, you should launch Quicktime Player, go to File - Open, and open one of your iTunes songs in that, and see if you can hear sound there.
