  • 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.

  • ITouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones

    iTouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones when earphones are plugged in..
    M using the latest version of itunes and iOS 4.2.1
    ....Have already tried formatting, resetting and even formatting when my earphones were plugged in...
    Please help immediately..M out of warranty..

    Have you tried another pair of earphones? It may be that the headphone jack is failing. You can, if you are competent, replace it yourself or get it fixed by a third-part place. See the following:

Homesharing is on & everything checks out but it no longer works. Any suggestions? I have no firewall & I have removed Smith clean program to fix this issue. I am running OS 10.8.2

    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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Playing iPod through other iTunes?

    My iPod is now [thanks to help gained here] formatted for windows, so I can move files, although I manage my iTunes on my nice Mac.
    I have a windows laptop that i use for work, and would like to play the stuff on my iPod through its iTunes temporarily when i am sat at it. How can I do this?
    thanks

    Well, good to know. But to play the songs directly off the iPod using iTunes, it would need to be set for +manually manage music+ nonetheless.
    Yes, that is correct.
    For the benefit of Phil...
    I auto sync my Windows formatted ipod on my Mac but before I eject, I switch it to Manual manage, Apply the change, then eject. At work, I have iTunes installed on my Windows machine, but with an empty library. I plug the iPod in, it shows up in iTunes and since it is in manual mode, you can play tracks directly from the iPod via the iTunes interface. So I can play all my stuff at work, through my PC's speakers, without having to clutter up the work drive with a big iTunes library.
    When I get back home, after plugging into my eMac, I simply deselect the manually manage option and allow iTunes to auto update the iPod again. Works great.
    In addition, this method allows you to use the iPod as an external drive on Windows machines as well, useful if you want to bring home or transfer a lot of large computer files/folder.
    Cheers,

  • Playing iPod through auxiliary jack in vehicle

    I have an AUX jack in my new vehicle. When I plug in the iPod, I can't get it to play through the vehicle speakers. Any thoughts on why, or things to try?

    As usual, we should try to determine whether the problem is the car or the iPod. Does it work reliably with headphones? If so, then I would suggest that the problem is likely a loose wire or connector within the car stereo. If it doesn't work reliably with headphones, I'd suggest the problem might be the connector internal to the iPod => meaning you should contact Apple for service.

  • 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

  • How do i get my iphone to play music through docking station speakers?

    When I place my iPhone in my Bose docking station, it plays music through the iPhone's speakers.  How do I get my iPhone to route music playing through the Bose's speakers?  My Nano plays just fine in my docking station.

    Did you check to see that shuffle is is turned off?  To do this, while playing a song tap the cover art to reveal the additional controls if they are not already visible (see photo below).  Then tap the shuffle button (bottom right) until it turns white (white is off).

  • 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 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'.

  • Playing iPod through Powerbook

    Can I keep my mp3 songs only on my iPod (erase all in iTunes to save space), and playing them through my Powerbook by pluging the Ipod?
    Thanks,

    Use the instructions in this article to play the music on your PowerBook. To delete songs from your computer without them being erased from the iPod, set the iPod to sync manually and then delete them from iTunes.

  • How to play music through headphones Macbook speakers AT SAME TIME

    I have a macbook using OS 10.4 and I have been listening to music. I want to hear my music through the internal speakers and through headphones at the same time.
    The reason is... I like to sing to my music. But it sounds odd for others around if they can't hear. So I need to play it out loud. However, there are certain times (like right now) when there is too much background noise for me to hear my music well and I'd like to be able to drown it out. So I want to hear the music through my headphones. While still having it come out the speakers.. so those round hear it too.
    There really should be a way to do this, and I don't see why there wouldn't be. If there is a logical reason why one can't do this, then please inform me. If you know fo a way to accomplish it, then tell me please!

    I'm looking for a similar capability except by using software only.
    I want to be able to get sound from a single application out to two
    or more audio-output devices.
    Is there any third-party software available to do this?
    As an aside, MacOS almost lets one do this now with the existing
    audio plumbing capability, but it comes up just short of being
    able to do it.
    Thanks for any third-party software pointers or suggestions.
