Problems connecting iPod to car & home stereo

Whenever I connect my iPod to my car or home stereo, I can only hear music out of one speaker. Is there a setting I need to adjust from the iPod itself in order to hear my music in stereo mode?
Please help, I'm leaving on tour tomorrow morning!

I'm connecting my iPod from the earphone jack into my home stereo using white & red RCA cables.
I'm also using a car adapter that plugs from the earphone & little flat slot next to it and this to the cigarette lighter.
Neither way am I able to hear my music in stereo.

Trouble connecting Ipod touch to home stereo.

Hello, I have an Ipod Touch 3rd gen. I currently use it mostly in my car and I use a simple aux 3.5 mm jack from the itouch to my aux input on my car stereo to listen to music. Works great. Now, I have been trying to get my ipod to connect to either of my home stereo receivers without any luck. I have a 3.5mm jack from the itouch going to 2 rca inputs on the back of the stereo. When I try to get it to play, it sometimes will play but it is not loud at all and sounds very distorted. I can sort of hear the music but the vocals are very quiet. This happens on both of my home stereos. I was thinking of getting another cable that goes from the 30 pin connector on the bottom to the 2 rca inputs. Do you think this would be better? Or do I not have something configured right with the itouch? Its just weird that it works fine in my car but not with the home stereo. Thanks for the input.

This may work since it includesd an audio out\http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=72
This may also work since it included :
Connect the dock to a stereo or speakers using a stereo audio cable to play music from iPod or iPhone."

IPOD TOUCH AND HOME STEREO

All,
New to the board. I have an Ipod Touch, and wanted to play it through my home stereo which is a Denon, and has the Aux outputs in the front. There is a Video - aux, and 2 slots for audio. I went and bought the cable that indicated for IPOD (Touch) to Home stereo. But when I plugged it into the stereo, no sound came out.
i made sure the selection was on Aux, but still not sound? Am I missing something? Is there any outputs on the back of the receiver I could use?
HELP???

You need to plug it into an input, not an output.

If you can't perform an iCloud backup (which requires wifi), back up to your computer with iTunes. Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now.
To troubleshoot your wifi, try unplugging your wireless router for 15 seconds, the plug it back in. Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Reset Network Settings (note: this erases passwords for previously joined networks). Then rejoin your wifi and see if it works properly now.

Ios 8.3/iPhone 6 problem connecting to Pioneer car stereo

Pioneer model AVH-X2600.
There are two ways to connect to my car stereo to play music: iPod mode or Bluetooth. Prior to 8.3 the BT connection would automatically pause my music after about 10 seconds. After I push Play on the stereo it would continue on without issue. Following the 8.3 update, after about 10 seconds on the BT connection there is this awful scratching/skipping noise, not unlike a skipping cd. But after 5-10 seconds of that, everything is back to normal.
Prior to 8.3 the iPod mode would take a good 20 secs to connect, but then everything would play normally. Now, with 8.3, it won't connect at all.
I don't have any problems with BT connections to other speakers, so maybe this is a Pioneer problem?? Anyone else having this same problem?

Apple is messing with car connectivity for the new car functionality. The "updates" are breaking iPod mode on multiple vehicles. iOS 8.4 Beta 1 is even worse. Connects fine but most functionality is broken.
See this thread:
ios 8.3 update, now phone can't connect to car stereo

Why can't I connect iPod to car stereo with red/white RCA cables?

I have red/white/yellow RCA (I think that's the name of them) plugs in my car stereo and I bought a cable to connect it to my iPod. It's the small plug (3.5 I think) on one end and a split 'Y' that's red and white on the other. The people and my car dealer connected a cell phone that is also a music player to it and it works, but it won't work with the iPod connected. The dealer thought it should be able to work with my iPod, but doesn't know why it won't. Are iPods able to connect to a car stereo this way. Is there another special cable that I need to get?

No, I should think that would work fine. I have a splitter like that connected to my hifi and no issues...you would want to make sure the volume on the iPod is up all the way; I don't know what car stereo you have, but possibly it's a setting on there that isn't right?

Problems Connecting iPod Touch 32GB to WiFi

Hi,
I have just purchased an iPod Touch 32GB and am having problems connecting to a server. I am using a Netgear DG834 router to connect to Orange. Netgear is now showing as checked on the Wi-Fi Networks page on the iPod with strong signal strength but I keep cannoy getting the message "could not connect to server" whenever I try any of the applications. Needless to say, the internet connections on my laptop and desktop are working perfectly. Thanks. Grant

Have you tried resetting your router? sometimes this is all you need to do to get the IPT to work properly. If you are using any type of security such as WEP or WPA2 then you are going to need to enter your password. Try a reset and then go to your wifi settings in the IPT and select your router and then click on the little blue arrow and check under DHCP and make sure you have an IP along with a router Ip and DNS entries. If you don't have a router IP or DNS entries try and renew the lease.
If you can't get it to work then reset the router again but this time try it without any security and do the same procedure as above. If that still doesn't work then the only other thing I can suggest is to look on Netgears website and see if there is a firmware upgrade for your router and to give that a try.

Adaptor To Connect Intel Imac To Home Stereo?

It's been about five months that I've had my Intel Core Duo iMac sitting proudly on my desk. Question: Has anyone found a way to connect the audio outs to a standard home stereo? (No, I don't want 5.1, just good old 2 point stereo)...
Thanks,
Stu

My friend we have all tried to tell you that you are mistaken with your ideas about the audio output jack of the Intel iMacs, but you don't want to believe us. The output port is both digital and analog. A regular mini plug cable activates the analog output. A mini plug on a Toslink cable activates the digital output. Yes there is a 1 to 2 mm gap that is always there. No neither Apple nor anyone else makes anything special because what they expect you to use is the regular old standard mini plugs.

Problem connecting Nokia C3 to home wireless route...

Good day, Nokia!
I recently bought a Nokia C3-00 WiFi phone but I can't seem to browse my home wireless connection with it. The phone can detect and connect with the wireless network successfully but when I open my mobile browser, it can't load websites, saying "Service not available."
However, I can connect and browse the internet through other WiFi hotspots, just not my home connection. The router I'm using is LP-8616. It's an AP router, if that helps. Unfortunately, there's no firmware upgrade for this router anymore.
I've read all the threads about this problem here and all over the internet but still nothing works for me. Hope you or somebody here could help me to finally solve this problem. More Power!

Allsolution from another post, see /t5/Cseries/C3-wifi-problem-connect-to-wlan-but-internet-not-work/m-p/950115#M14517. Found out how to solve the problem of connecting via WLAN in the following way (the phone was able to connect to the Internet only through the GSM provider network):
Step 1: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Web or Streaming or any other (Just add, needs no other settings)
Step 2: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Default config. settings (choose MyWeb, Personal Settings or the name created at step 1)
Step 3: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal settings (delete the field created in step 1) then go to Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (choose one of the available options)
Now you can open your browser and try to connect. It should ask what method you choose (WLAN or Access Point Preferred)
If your phone does not want to be connected via the GSM provider network, the user can manually enter settings for defining an Access Point (Step 4)
Step 4: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal Settings> Add> Access Point (check with GSM provider for account settings)
Step 5: Menu> Settings> Configuration> Preferred access point (select the field you created earlier)
I know that what I wrote above may seem like science fiction for a user who is not accustomed to butoneasca phone and non-stop, but I assure you that the operation should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Problems connecting iPod touch to windows vista ad-hoc connection

Hi,
This problem has been troubling me since i got my iPod Touch(2nd Gen)
I do not have a wi-fi router,rather i make a ad-hoc connection on my laptop(vista) and share the internet with this wireless ad-hoc connection. I then turn on the wifi on my ipod, which obidiently detects the ad-hoc connection, and after entering the password(WEP) connects to the network(i even get that signal bar indicator on the ipod). But when i try to open a website,it says "Safari cannot open the webpage as it is not connected to the internet". This is really frustrating. I've searched like a zillion places but not able to find the solution to the problem.
All the setting are automatic(DHCP) which includes my wired internet, my wireless network and my ipod settings.
Plz help guyz.
Thanks,
Aditya

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The best way depends upon your stereo system. If you system has an AUX input you can get a cable that goes from the headphone jack to the AUX in

Problem connection ipod ( disk management issue)

Hello everyone
Ok , i got here an ipod that just came back from apple care and is bug and damage free. SO now , everytime i connect my ipod to my computer , it connects perfectly and shows as a usb mass storage device. Although , neither Itunes nor my computer shows a sign of this hardward connected ( can't even see the disk ) . So i decided to check in my disk management in control panel and there it is ! I found my ipod next to my hard disk but without any drive letter ... so i change the letter to soemthing unused and poof ! my ipod shows on my computer and itunes. ALTHOUGH , evertime i restart my computer or reconnect my ipod , it still doesnt appear and i always have to go back into disk management to assign a letter ( the disk management doenst seems to save changes). So what can i do now ? i mean its fustrating to always have to play in disk management ...
thx in advance

Miserably no , i don't have any usb component plug-in . In fact , iam pretty sure the problem comes from some king of bad configuration from my computer . You see the ipod connects without problem and my computer recognize it immidiatly. Although , it just doenst seem to assign a drive letter to my ipod which makes it unable to be accesed via itunes nor explorer. The thing is , i just need to save a drive letter to my ipod... which will still be there when i reconnect it or restart my computer
