  • 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 iPod through iTunes without syncing - is this possible?

    My iPod is sync'd with my laptop at home, but I would like to connect my iPod to my laptop at work and use it through iTunes. I don't want to sync them because I don't want to install 2,000 songs onto my work laptop. Is it possible to leave my iPod connected through USB and play the songs through iTunes? Currently when I try this all the songs display in my iTunes library but are greyed out and will not play.

    "Currently when I try this all the songs display in my iTunes library but are greyed out and will not play"
    Grey text when you look at the content and lock symbol at the bottom of the screen simply shows that your iPod is set to automatically update. If you want to access your iPod directly, drag songs to it, play it through your iTunes, connect it to a second computer etc. you just need to change the update method to "Manually manage songs and videos" in the iPod Summary tab and click Apply. The text will change from grey to dark and the padlock will disappear: Managing content manually on iPod
    One thing to be aware of with manually updating is that the iPod also has to be manually ejected before the "Do Not Disconnect" message will go away. Safely disconnect iPod

    Is it red? If so, then it's supposed to happen. As far as I know, there's no way around it.

  • 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?

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

  • 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.

  • Can't Play iPod through iTunes without Synching

    Here's what I would like to do: Listen to my iPod (Classic, 120GB) on my work PC through iTunes while my iPod is connected and charging. Is this still possible? I used to do it, but now I can't.
    iTunes 9.1.1.12/Windows XP Pro
    I do NOT want to sync my iPod with my work computer. (I sync with my home computer.) I do NOT want to erase everything on my iPod and replace it with the 20 songs I have on my work computer. I DON'T want to copy my music from home to my work computer. I DON'T want to use the store or anything like that. I simply want to play the music stored on my iPod through my computer.
    When I connect my iPod to my work computer and open iTunes, iTunes recognizes it and it appears in Devices on the left side of the screen, as it should.
    On the Summary tab, I have Manually Manage Music and Videos SELECTED. These two options are selected and also grayed out: Sync Only Checked Songs and Videos and Enable Disk Use. I cannot get past this tabbed screen. What do I need to select or deselect to display and play the songs on my iPod - without erasing everything on it?

    Try setting the iPod to sync manually.

  • 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.

  • Airport Express Isn't Playing Music Through Stereo

The option to play music through Airport is available on both iMac and Iphone and the button turns blue when selected.
    Really need help on this.

    You may want to double check your configuration with the AirPort and your stereo using this article.

  • Playing iPod through receiver from patio 25' away

    I have an iPod Classic. I play it through our Pioneer receiver in our den by using an Apple Composite AV cable. We would like to be able to control the iPod from the patio. Is there a cable available that is 25'+ that can connect the iPod to the receiver?

    I was originally going to recommend a 25' cable as you stated however I couldn't find anything more than 9'. Below is a link which will accomplish what you want however by utilizing a remote control. This way you are cable free and can move around the house beyond 25'.

  • IPod Photo stuck in "connect external power" mode

    I recently purchased a used 60gb iPod Photo from a Goodwill. I restored it, but it required me to update. Restored, updated, but being an older iPod, the screen showed the "connect external power" icon. I found an external power source and it has been connected for nearly 2 hours, and it still isn't responding. I think it's stuck but I'm not sure. I've tried resetting it and using multiple different outlets, but nothing seems to be working. It still shows the external power logo.

    The iPod photo is a 4th gen iPod, and that particular model requires you to connect it to an Apple USB power adapter to complete the Restore process (it's not related to doing an update).  These iPod's came with a USB power adapter, so the expectation is that the iPod's owner has one.  I heard this is because the iPod needs a higher voltage that is not available from a computer's USB port to complete the Restore, which is probably why it does not work with the "external power source" you tried.
    You need to get an Apple USB power adapter.  Or, if there is an Apple Store nearby, you can probably take it there (to the store's Genius Bar) and ask if you can plug it into one of their power adapters, to complete that last step.  Do not have them do the full Restore process on a Mac, if you use Windows.

  • Playing iPod through iTunes

    One of the primary reasons I purchased my iPod is that I have over 10 GB of music on my harddrive, which is only 40 GB, and about 100 CDs that I didn't have room to rip. I wanted to import them all to my iPod and then put the original files on an external drive for storage/backup and just plug my iPod into my computer when I wanted to play music through my speakers (via AirTunes). I've done this in the past with my iPod Mini, primarily at my parents' house through their Airtunes, which is wired throughout their house. It's been very handy. However, when I plug this into my computer at home, I find all the music is greyed out. I can't play it. Is this some new 'feature'? I'm seriously considering returning the iPod, since it's not looking like it will do what I needed it to do.

    You would have to manually update. Then the songs will not be greyed out.
