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.

Accessory for playing IPod in car and best protective case?

I am about to purchase the 80gb Ipod classic. What would you recommend as the best accessory to play and charge my IPod in the car and also the best clear protective case?
I noticed at Walmart that Belkin sells the car accessory and they have the belkin remix acrylic case.
The Rhinoskin cases also looks very nice.
Any suggestions?

horatio - are you playing from your headphone jack into the aux input? if so, consider buying a real dock to make use of the far-superior line out audio feed from the docking connector. DLO makes a car dock called a "transpod" that has both line out and fm modulator. You can ignore the fm modulator part and plug the line out to your aux jack and get great sound.
I do that in my truck and it provides a nice, FAT sound to the head unit.

How to play Ipod in car?

I'm wanting to know how I can play my Ipod in the car? The car doesn't have an auxillary port, nor does it have a cassette tape player and I'd rather have something that I can bring with me on car trips. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thank you in advance!

You could get an FM transmitter. It broadcasts you music over the radio so you can just tune to that station on your car's radio. It won't sound as clear as an auxillary port, but it will work. Here's one sold in the Apple online Store: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TX467VC/B?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY

How to revert to older software to play ipod in car stereo

I have a Classic I-pod with software version 3.1.1. The manual for my Pioneer DEH-P310UB car stereo says it will play the Classic I-pod version 1.1.2. Can I revert my I-pod software back to 1.1.2 in order to play it in the car? I'm going on a long road trip and wish to play this I-pod on the road.

Yes I do have a Classic, it's not a nano, it doesn't take photos, and I got it for Christmas 2004.
The iPod classic was not even released until October 2007.
The iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) and iPod with color display do not take photos but can display photos.
it tells me the software is 3.1.1
Yes, because the iPod Photo (or 4th gen iPod) uses firmware 3.1.1. The iPod classic (120 GB iPod) uses version 2.
The iPod classic (80GB & 160GB) use version 1.1.2.
Is it possible to revert to 1.1.2?
Possibly but the manual you are reading is not referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod Photo (4th gen).
It is referring to version 1.1.2 for the iPod classic (which are only the 80GB/160GB models).
If your iPod does not have a 80/160/120Gb drive, it is not an iPod classic. It is a regular iPod.

Playing ipod thru car stereo with no mp3 capability

Is there a model that you can connect to your car audio (thru cigarette lighter) that will play clearly? My stereo is older and does not play mp3 nor do I have an ipod connection. Thanks for your help!

Yeah, they make FM transmitters that use the ciggerette lighter's power to power the transmitter. Cigarette lighter sockets are 12v only no audio in there.

TS2634 My ipod touch will no longer play in both my docking stations, Bowers and Wilkins mini zeppellin and a Logitech, yet it plays in my car. Is the ipod about to die? Do I repair or buy another? It's only 2 years old! thanks!

My ipod touch will not play music in my Bowers and Wilkins mini zeppelin nor my Logitech. Yet, it plays in my car. The music can be heard playing in the ipod itself. It is only 2 years old. Should I repair or just buy another? Thanks!

Did it start not working after updating the iPOs on the iPod? SOmetimes updating an iOS breaks compatibility.
You can try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

Thank you!

Hi Novagurl2369!
I have an article for you that can provide some helpful troubleshooting steps to address your issue:
No sound through stereo headset1
Inspect the headset jack for debris and clean if necessary.
Connect the headset and make sure the connector is pushed in all the way.
Check the volume setting. Adjust the volume by pressing the volume up and down button on the left side of the iPhone.
If you are trying to listen to music and cannot hear any audio, make sure that the music on iPhone is not paused. Try squeezing the headset microphone to resume playback. Additionally, from the Home screen you can choose iPod > Now Playing, then tap Play.
Make sure the latest version of iTunes is installed on the computer that you are syncing the iPhone with (songs purchased from the iTunes Store using earlier versions of iTunes won't play).
Try another Apple headset (some third-party headsets require an adapter to be used with original iPhone).
Try a different song or video.
Check to see if the iPhone alert sounds or other iPhone sound effects exhibit the same audio issues.
Disconnect the headset from the iPhone and see if sound comes from the built-in speaker.

How do i get my ipod touch to play on the car radio

How do I get my Ipad touch to play through the car radio?

You can buy something like this Belkin Cable here, which I use, and plug it into your car's Aux port if it has one. They can also be found in most electronics stores.
If your car doesn't have an Auxillary port, you can buy something like the Griffin iTrip, which allows you to set your iPod to transmit on a specific FM frequency, and you can just tune your car to that station. You can find that anywhere electronics are sold.

How to play Ipod Nano in car

I have a VW that has a jack designed to play ipods. I purchased a cord that connects the ipod and the jack together, but nothing plays.

I am not sure what type of cable you purchased. My wife's car has a similar jack and she tried one of the 3.5mm mini to 3.5mm mini jacks with little success. Volume and sound quality was very poor.
She later picked up a 3.5mm to iPod connector and sound quality was much better.

Playing ipod shuffle in car

My ipod shuffle plays through my car speakers but all music is random. It won't play the playlists in the order that they are in in itumes, which is really annoying. May as well listen to the radio if random songs just play!
Any ideas how to get playlists to play in the order they are listed in itunes?

Hello Eliza,
You can set the iPod shuffle to play the songs in order or to shuffle the songs by adjusting the 3-way switch. When the switch is in the middle, it will play the songs in order. When the switch is all the way over to the left, it will shuffle the songs:
(click on the diagram or steps for a larger view)
I found this information on page 18 of the iPod shuffle User Guide:

I paid for songs from the itunes store and they are in m4a if i paid for them why can't i load them on a card to play in my car?

why can i not copy songs i bought from the itunes store to a card to play in my car stereo.
what is m4a?

M4A is another name (actually, the file extension) for the AAC audio format. It is used in iTunes, but frequently has compatibility problems when used outside of Apple-land.
Does your car player expect MP3 format? If so you can convert your files by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Also, unless you enjoy doing format conversions, you also have the option to buy your music in MP3 format in the first place, from another music download store, e.g. Amazon MP3.
MP3 can be used in iTunes, iPod, iPhone and just about every other player, program, and device.

I have a MacBook Pro, I want to copy Itunes files to an SD card to play in my car, the SD Card doesn't appear in Itunes when I insert it, and I don't know how to convert the files to the correct format, can anyone help?

Thank you

So it seems from reading the COMMAND manual that my first issue is that I used a 16GB SD card, and the manual says it will only recogize up to a 2GB SD card. I did use my MB Air's SD card slot and crated a folder and dragged the music files to it, then to the card. So I am going to get a 2GB card and try that next. Otherwise just stick with the iPOD connected. At least that is 8GB

Charging 3G ipod in car through Griffin iTrip

i recently bought griffin's itrip for dock connector ipods--i have a 3rd generation one--to play though my car stereo. i would now like to purchase a car charger that can charge while the iTrip is still attached to the ipod. griffin makes such a charger called "powerjolt" that can connect to the itrip via mini USB and therefore charge the ipod while it plays through the radio (the iTrip hooks into the bottom of the ipod and uses the ipods battery power). the griffin site says that this device is not compatible with 3G ipods (because it uses a USB cable if one were to charge straight to the ipod), but i would like to know if there is anyone out there who has has a similar situation and has found that the mini usb connection is enough to bypass the compatibility issue. I'd appreciate any help!
3G ipod Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Many iPod (and some iPhone!) car accessory charge units use the obsolete Firewire connection which is no longer used in the iPhone 3G or latest iPods. This is in spite of the fact that Apple announced long ago that Firewire support would be discontinued for iPhones and iPods.

The only fix is to refit your car with a USB charger.
