Problems with a car adapter?

I have an ipod nano along with 3 other members of my family who also have ipod nanos. We purchased an adapter for the car to listen to the music through the radio. The adapter we bought wasn't apple brand, but 3 of the ipods work fine with it. When I plug my ipod into the adapter, it doesn't play even when it says it's playing on the ipod. I turn both the sound on the ipod and radio up, but it doesn't work. What might be the problem with my ipod and what should I do?
ipod nano   Windows XP  

I've used radio-type iPod adapters that recognized any file format the iPod would play--in my case, most of them are not MP3, they're AAC or even sound from MPEG movies. The radio adapter simply receives an audio signal from the iPod and broadcasts it on a low-power transmitter. It probably never knows (or cares about) the format of the file in the iPod.
I would first plug in earbuds to make sure there is audio playing. Next, I'd make sure the connector is properly and firmly connected. Finally, I'd make sure that the frequency your adapter is broadcasting is the same one the radio is tuned to.
I found the sound quality from the FM radio adapters disappointing and switched to a cassette adapter, which sounded much better. If your stereo has an auxiliary input, using that would give even better sound quality. I hope that helps.

  • My iPhone 4 won't work with my car adapter but all other iPhones do. What's wrong with mine?

    I have an iPhone 4 ad I have a car adapter that says it is compatible with my phone. Every thing else works fine with the adapter. All different kinds of iPods and anyone's iPhone that I try on the adapter works except mine.
    Could there e something in my setting that isn't letting my music play? What could it be?? I honestly dot know what it could be.

    Could be a problem with the contacts on your iPhone's connector.  Try cleaning the contacts using compressed dry compressed air, blowing on the contacts using your mouth being carefully not to spit, or using a very soft dry brush.

  • Problems with my power adapter!!!!

    I just got a new adapter for my Powerbook G4 the other day because the wiring at the plug on my old one wore out. My problem is that the new adapter, when plugged into my computer, sometimes just stops working like it has been unplugged or something. After unplugging the adapter from the wall socket and reinserting, it works fine until my computer goes to sleep. At some point in sleep mode, the little light from the plug in the computer turns off and my computer is only running on battery. This in itself is not that bad, but it gets to be a hassle having to unplug and then re-plug the wall plug everytime my computer goes to sleep. Can anyone help me understand this a little better?

    I purchased by G4 six months ago. Since Day one, I have had problems with the power. If I leave the computer plugged into the outlet 24 hours a day, the battery will slowly begin to drain. Even if I never unplug the power source from my computer, the computer begins to drain battery life. For example, I went to bed with my computer charged @ 100%. This morning (all while my computer was sleeping), I have 8% Battery Life left.
    I've spent 5-6 phone calls with Apple Care on this issue with no resolution. I sent my G4 off to Apple Care 2 weeks ago and they returned it with a "We Don't Recognize a Problem". I about went through the roof. And, yes, this happens with any outlet I use.
    I expect more from a $2500+ machine and their "award winning" customer service.
    Help?

  • Minor Problem with MagSafe Power Adapter

    I got my MBP almost a year ago now (partially why I'm asking the question) and I've noticed that my power adapter doesn't always show the charge light. Sometimes it is not on at all, and sometimes it is less bright in color (both green and amber).
    If I remove it and put it back it usually corrects itself.
    It if fully functional; even if the light is completely out and plugged in it still shows as charging.
    So, is this normal? I never remember having this sort of problem with my PB G4.

    I would think the led light on my adapter cable was broken, but I discovered it works fine on a co-workers MBP. His adapter, which we know works, does NOT work (ie. the led does not come on) when attached to my computer. This indicate to me that the problem, whatever it is, can sometimes be with the computer and not the adapter.
    I would be curious if others with apparently dead leds have tried their chargers on other MBPs.
    Here's the long version of my story:
    My 5W MagSafe completely fried after only 9 months.
    The new adapter was fine for several days until this morning.
    My "low battery" warning popped up, so so I plugged it in to recharge and immediately noticed the little led on the charger cord did not come on.
    I found it hard to believe that I had another bad adapter, so before making the trip back to the store, I went into the studio where there are some other MBP users.
    I plugged my adapter into another laptop and the led came on. It appeared to function completely normally. I tried MagSafe adapters from two other MBPs, but the led did not come on on either of them while attached to my computer.
    This made me think there was some sort of problem with the connector on the computer itself. Just visually, it appears to be clean and corrosion free.
    The next obvious step, it seemed, would have been to try swapping batteries with the other laptops, but mine is a 17" and everyone else here has 15"... and so we have different battery sizes.
    One of the people here at the studio had a little utility called "Coconut Battery", that reports information about the battery health. When I ran it on my laptop, I got what I thought were rather surprising results.
    It showed the usual things like current charge (21%), battery capacity and so on. But under "Additional Info" it said "Charger connected: Yes" and "Battery is charging: No".
    I figured this narrowed it down to a problem with the battery. But as I was showing these results to my co-worker, the "Current Battery Charge" changed from 21 to 22%. Huh? We left it plugged in and it continued to show a steady climb in the charge, as if it is working normally. Except there is no led light, and the software still says it is not charging. Odd.
    I then noticed that the built-in battery level indicator on the status bar was also showing the same increases. The led lights on the back of the battery are indicating an increase as well.
    Just out of curiosity, I ran a second battery health analyzer program and again got these conflicting results. This one reported the same battery charge and capacity and so on as the previous one. It also recognized that the laptop was running off of AC power, that there was a battery, but it said "Not Chargeable."
    So now I am going to let it continue until I have a full charge and then see if the computer will run as usual from the battery.
    I don't think the store here is going to give me another adapter since this one appears to work just fine on the other computers.
    Any thoughts on why the led would work on other laptops but not mine?
    Why the battery health monitors report that the battery is being charged, but also that it is "not chargeable"?

  • "Performance" problems with the File adapter on Plain J2SE Adapter Engine

    Hi,
    At the moment I'm on a customer side to solve some XI issues for a few days. One of the issues is the performance of the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine, using the file adapter to transfer XML messages(already XI message format) from the legacy system to the Integration Engine. The File adapter has to deal with "large" XML messages(max at the moment is 65 Mb) and the engine fails with the following error when transferring the big XML file: "ERROR: Finished sending to Integration Engine with error "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError". Skip confirmation and quit this loop".
    As far I got the information from the customer the memory use of the Plain adapter engine is set to 512Mb. This is maybe to low. But I don't know where to look for this, I only have the adapter web interface in front of me, no access to the OS it self via for example remote connection.
    On the Integration Engine I know there is the ability to split large message with the file adapter(File Content Conversion), but I don't know this for the Plain Adapter Engine. Is there a possibility to do this also on the Plain Adapter Engine?
    Thanks in advance for any input.
    Greetings,
    Patrick

    Hi Sameer,
    Thanks for your answers.
    On the first solution, yes that is possible, we first decided to see if the legacy system can do the splitting, before starting developing a Java program.
    On the second solution, as far as I know is this solution possible on the Integration Engine. But we are facing the problems on the Plain J2SE Adapter Engine. I went trough that documentation(link:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/6f/246b3de666930fe10000000a114084/frameset.htm ), to look for I similiar solution in the Plain Adapter Engine. So my question is, is this possible with the Plain Adapter? And if so, what kind of parameters I need to use to achieve this.

    Patrick

  • Problem with a JDBC Adapter when connect to Instance on SQL Server

    Hi,
    Currently I'm setting up a communication channel with the JDBC adapter to work on a SQL Server database. When I use a string without specifying the connection instance, the JDBC driver takes the default instance and connects to a database without problems.
    jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; databaseName = IntegraSAP1
    The problem is when I need to connect to another instance of it server.
    jdbc: sqlserver: / / Server01; instanceName = SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
    The JDBC driver, in short, send me the following error:
    Cause Exception: 'Error when attempting
    to get processing resources: com.sap.aii.af.lib.util.concurrent.ResourcePoolException:
    Unable to create new pooled resource: DriverManagerException:
    Can not establish connection:: com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException:
    The connection to the named instance  has failed. Error:
    java.net.UnknownHostException: .
    I appreciate your help,
    Regards,
    Johnny

    Not sure, might be port number is not required in case using instance. Give one more try with :
    jdbc:sqlserver:/ /Server01\SAP; databaseName = IntegraSAP2
    A comment from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms378428.aspx
    "SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 allow for the installation of multiple database instances per server. Each instance is identified by a specific name. To connect to a named instance of SQL Server, you can either specify the port number of the named instance (preferred), or you can specify the instance name as a JDBC URL property or a datasource property."

  • Problem with standalone resource-adapter

    Hello,
    I have problem with excluding standalone resource adapters from enterprise applications on OAS 10.1.3.4. Because collection of standalone resource adapters can change dynamically (release of new versions, creation of new environment), I cannot enumerate names of resource adapters into orion-application.xml.
    In documentation of application server I have found:
    Deploying Multiple Versions of a Standalone Resource Adapter
    To configure an application to use only adapterA, you would add the following elements to the application's orion-application.xml file:
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <remove-inherited name="adapterB"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    Because both standalone resource adapters are imported by default, it is not necessary to explicitly import adapterA.
    An alternative configuration follows:
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="adapterA">
    <remove-inherited name="*"/>
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    I tried to add following orion-application.xml into my enterprise application, but standalone resource adapters are still visible in class loader of enterprise application.
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <orion-application>
    <imported-shared-libraries>
    <import-shared-library name="global.libraries" />
    <import-shared-library name="global.tag.libraries" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.cache" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.dms" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.gdk" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.http.client" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.jdbc" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.jwsdl" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.persistence" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.toplink" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.ws.client" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.ws.jaxrpc" />
    <import-shared-library name="oracle.xml" />
    <remove-inherited name="*" />
    </imported-shared-libraries>
    </orion-application>
    How should I disable including all standalone resource adapters without explicit enumerating of resource adapter names in orion-application.xml.
    Thanks a lot

  • Problem with in-car handsfree

    I'm going to re-test/play around with this some more tomorrow, but my 2006 BMW bluetooth hands-free doesn't seem compatible? It pairs and dials, but the sound still comes out of the handset and not the car speakers.
    Anyone else experience anything similar?

    I have the same problem with the handsfree in a 2007
    BMW X5
    The iPhone brings up a screen allowing audio choice between
    the normal iPhone handset, speakerphone setting on the iPhone
    itself and the handsfree in the car. The handsfree setting still plays over the iPhone.
    I've had a Razr and Treo both paired with the car system
    with no problem.
    No ideas so far.

  • Problem with Apple Care Registration Process

    My MacBook warranty will expire pretty soon. So, I ordered my Apple Care Protection Plan from Apple online store in Thailand since September 9, 2009. It arrived this morning (September 15, 2009).
    When I try to register Apple care for my machine, Problem was starting. I do following on screen process, put my Macbook Serial No. and Apple Care Protection Plan registration No from package. Screen Show "We're sorry, but this registration number is not valid. Please check your information and try again."
    I tried to contact Apple Care representative in Thailand. He was kindly enough to ask Apple online Store about this. He came back with answer that there are some problems about Apple care registration and I have to wait for week for response!!
    Why product from apple online have this kind of problem? And customer have to wait for one week without knowing anything!!

    You should be fine. The good thing is 1) you bought it from Apple and 2) you have contacted them about it before your initial warranty expired. Just be sure to follow up with them. If you haven't done so... you may want to give them a call back just to get a case number so you can have something to reference in case they don't get the problem sorted out before you warranty expires.

  • Blackberry torch does not get charged with a car adapter?

    Blackberry torch 9800 gets charged from laptop and wall mount.
    When I tried using thru car adapter it would not work.
    I have checked the adapter, it charges the other non blackberry mobile.
    My Question, do we need to have a special car adapter for blackberry touch OR
    do we need to make some changes in the setup

    That would be unlikely for a couple of reasons:
    1. The handset is only 4 days old.
    2. It charges flawlessly using the same cables on every other source - AC wall charger, laptop, PC, BB charging cradle, aan also an AC wall charger plugged into a cigarette lighter inverter! It always works in these scenarios.
    The only time it fails (and quite consistently) to charge is when the charging source is a car cigarette lighter USB adapter. And it fails whether you use it in a car or with an AC wall cigarette lighter converter.
    Please take a look at my other post from last night - I described all the things I tried.
    If u still feel it is my handset, I would appreciate a referral to at&t. Minimally, I would like to try a new handset before replacing this one. It takes a long time to get it configured the way I want it.
    Thanks,
    Ashoke.

  • Distortion with cassette car adapter

    I've noticed that when I connect my iPod Classic to a cassette car adapter and turn the volume down to around 50% or lower I get all sorts of clicks & pops that are not in the music. This doesn't happen with the earbuds. Full volume is too loud for clear reporduction and while I can find a level that's loud enough not to include these effects it still seems rather odd. Anyone else notice the same? I've not noticed anything similar with either the 30gb video iPod or other mp3 players. Is the Classic overly sensitive to the impedance of whatever is plugged into the headphone socket?

    I find that setting the iPod at about 75-80% volume seems to work well with car cassette adapters.
    I just set that in the settings as my volume limit and I can crank the Pod up its new "maximum" limit easily rather than worrying about riding the limit to the sweet spot.
    Has anyone noticed that the iPod's output seems to get progressively more bass-heavy as you increase the volume? It's noticable when using cassette adapters because if you turn the volume of the stereo down and the iPod up you get more bass. I sometimes use this as a sort of bass equalizer when the car stereo's equalizer doesn't seem to be cutting the mustard.
