Play music through computer with out itues

i just got my finance a 1gig nano for her birthday and we loaded songs on the ipod at home. now she wants to play her music at work through her work computer. she is not allowed to load software on her computer at work, so she cant load itues on it. is there anyway to play the music through the computer without using itunes?
thanks in advance.

I'm afraid not, you need iTunes to access the iPod so you can play it through the computer. If there is no iTunes installed the iPod will only charger from the USB port though you could play it through earphones while it's charging.

  • No sound when playing music through dock with third party apps

    Hello,
    When I try to play music on my Iphone (3G, OS 3) through dock connected external speaker devices (like the B&W Zeppelin) using third party apps, i get no sound at all. Example of external third party apps are : wifi radios, alarm-clock programs, video viewers,...
    So i get no sound at all through the dock connector using that kind of apps. Sound is ok only with Ipod, Itune (or other apple apps).
    Has anyone encountered similar problems ? Any solution would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I have done that from the first day (contacting the makers of 3rd party apps)- They say they use standard components provided by Apple. So I would like to know if anybody has succeded in listening, for example, any internet radio app though a dock station connection (zeppelin, or whatever speaker system that is not using the jack), or is this functionnaly actually blocked by Apple.
    Thanks for your answers.

    I called AppleCare this morning and Sean helped me out in a huge way. In all of my attempts, I had not done a factory-default reset on the main base station and apparently some sort of endless loop had occurred between those two stations. Sean was very helpful and patient with me, but now the system is working as promised. Moral of this story is if a factory default rest doesn't help on the "problem" base station, try resetting all of the units.

  • IPhone cannot play music on computer when docked with iTunes

    Hey all,
    This is really troubling. I cannot play music on my iPhone through my computer in Windows via my iTunes.
    My home iTunes computer is MacOSX on the same computer. All of my work programs are in Windows Bootcamp. So in Windows mode, the songs appear to be gray, and cannot be clicked on (in iTunes and only on the iPhone). They are certainly locked. If I click on 'Manage Music Manually', a popup shows up asking me if I want to erase the iPhone and sync with the Windows itunes, which would be grim as all my music, videos, and everything is in MacOSX.
    I have been to the MacStore about this and they couldnt figure this out either. They think it might be a faulty phone.
    Has anyone heard of this and might know of a fix?

    The iPhone won't play music through a computer's iTunes.
    You can use this cord http://store.apple.com/us/product/TN778LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ&mco=MjE1NTkyMQ to connect the headset jack to the computer's audio-in port.

  • Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this?

    Okay so my IPod touch 4 won't play music through any headphone I put into the port. I've tried it with 4-5 different headphones but it still won't work.  How can I fix this? This isn't the first time something like this has happened but it has never stayed this way for such a long time. If I have to send it in for repairs I will but I'm not sure if its under warranty

    To check for warranty coverage:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for theother 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically.  a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

    i use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically.  a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • Iphone 5c with iOS8 no longer plays music through cadillac cue

    iphone 5c with iOS8 no longer plays music through cadillac cue

    Thanks for the the reply Jeff.
    Actually I misstated my initial question.  The iPhone works fine through the bluetooth connection to Cadillac CUE but it does not function when tethered. If I use the voice command in the car to play music, CUE recognizes the request, loads the selection and then freezes.  I can see the album cover on the screen and the player control loads but the music does not start.  After a short period, CUE flashes UNKNOWN ALBUM, UNKNOWN ARTIST. it took a while for me to understand the complexities of the CUE and iPhone voice command interaction but just when I had it worked out, the update to iOS8 killed it again.
    I seem to recall having a similar problem when the first version of iOS 8 came out. The first update solved the problem, but the latest update has created the problem again.
    Any thoughts? Are others having this same difficulty?

  • After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - whihc has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5.

    After ios 8 update I can no longer play music through my car. I have a 2012 Nissan Rogue - which has its own cable made to use with iPhone 4 - I use a apple adapter to converst to use with 5. Has been working fine up until update. Is there a fix for this? The car does not have usb

    Here I come to save the daaaaaaaaaay!!!
    Had the same issue with my Nissan Rogue 2011.
    This listed below will fix it...
    Go to General > Restrictions > CarPlay -- Make sure Carplay is DISABLED. (The new IOS 8 enables this on default)
    Go to General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    The Nissan Rogue radio system was never designed to work with CarPlay. By default, CarPlay feature comes enabled when you install IOS 8. Suckz, right?
    You're very welcome! Have a great day!
    Sincerely,

I already clean the jack and dock,reset it and still cannot be fixed. I updated it to IOS 7.1.1 recently only, does it have connection with the inconvenience I am experiencing right now? What should I do? 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.

  • How to play music through my external hard drive through iTunes on my mac?

    I recently purchased a external hard drive for my mac for my movies and music, as my disc was almost full.
    I have spent HOURS searching how to play music through my itunes without transferring them onto the mac.
    BUT everytime I click media destination folder in prefrences and advance, the whole music library in my external hard drive folder is  greyed out, and when i click it nothing happens.
    PLEASE someone help...

    First, a brand new drive is likely formatted for use with Windows.  You need to reformat it for use with Mac.
    Pondini: Formatting,  Partitioning, Verifying,  and  Repairing  Disks... - http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html
    Second, you are better off moving the whole iTunes library to the external drive, not just the media.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
    Do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in

  • IPhone (3G & 2G) Not Playing Music Through Intempo RDi Since 3.1 Update

    Both my partners iPhone 2G and my 3G have stopped reliably playing music through our Intempo RDi DAB/Dock device since upgrading them to 3.1
    When connecting either iPhone to the device no music is played and the iPhone does not respond to button presses on the remote. If the iPhone is left playing music the device will sometimes eventually start making sound after 45-60 seconds but will often stop again. The device will also not produce any sound in DAB or FM mode if the iPhone is connected to charge but works fine as soon as the iPhone is disconnected.
    Both phones tell me that the device is not 'made to work with an iPhone' (or whatever the standard message is) when they're connected and offer to go into airplane mode. They always did this on earlier firmware revisions but continued to play music okay.
    There's a post from another user on these forums relating to a similar issue with an iPod Touch on 2.2.1 that was resolved with a replacement iPod but I'm suspicious as both phones started exhibiting the issue at the same time. I've also logged a call with Intempo's customer support so I'll see how that goes, too...

    First of all what kind of "Restore" are you doing? When an iphone is having issues its either a "Software" issue or a "Hardware" issue. You would eliminate the easiest one first which is software. Because the iphone is like a small computer be advised that it can have errors with 3rd party applications and its own operating system which may affect the way the iphone works.
    You need to restore the iphone to the factory settings. After that you must setup your iphone as new and not from the backup. You then can sync back any data from itunes or your computer. You however cannot restore from a backup which may contain errors.
    If your issue still persist afterwards from a restore as new iphone then you got yourself a hardware issue. As there are plenty other iphones out there without the issue.
    However from the information I gather I dont believe your issue is with software. faint images and grey horizontal lines is indication of physical or accidental damage to the hardware. Be advise it can be external or internal hardware damage or failure.
