Problems with iPod playing in the Car.

I recently bought a new car and it has the hook up to play my iPod through the radio. It worked great at first but recently my iPod has started playing the music and not the words in the songs. This happens a lot. I have tried to restart the iPod, messing with the EQ settings, Restarting all the setting and nothing seems to work. I have to unplug the iPod and leave it alone for a few days before it would go back to normal. Also recently the iPod said that the hold button was on when it wasn't and it wouldn't let me do anything with the iPod. I restarted it again and it still said that the hold was on. Yet again I had to leave it alone for a few days before it would go back to normal. If anyone has had this problem and has found a solution, please let me know.

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for the help but I am unfortunately still not able to get my iPod Classic to connect. I have tried all the tricks in the article that you linked to.
One thing is that when I reset the iPod (menu and center until the logo pops up) I get a critical error in iTunes and it shuts down. Could that indicate that my problem is with the iTunes installation rather than the iPod?
I have tried to re-install iTunes before but maybe I shpuld give it a go again?
Brgds,
Nik

Problem with iPod Touch and Nissan Car Interface

I have an '09 Nissan Murano with the built in iPod interface. Previous to upgrading to the 3.0 update, the iPod touch and car got along great and everything worked well with the car being able to control the ipod and play music with only the dock connection (not needing to use the headphone jack). However, since the 3.0 update, the car will no longer see the iPod. The iPod shows the Connected to Accessory screen (as it did in the past) however every few seconds, the iPod will flash a quick screen of the iPods normal music screen, then go back to the Connected to Accessory screen. The car just says iPod Not Connected.
Like I said, it worked perfect before I upgraded to 3.0, and to further that, my brother has his touch still on 2.0 software, and it works fine, leading me to be sure that its a problem with the 3.0 update and not the car. I've seen posts like this with other vehicles, but no one seems to have an answer. Wondering who else is having problems like this and if there is ANY solution (besides rolling back my software).
The fact that an update disables iPod branded interfaces seems ridiculous to me. Thanks for any help!

I recently purchased an infiniti FX35 with the ipod integration. After visiting the local apple store "Genius Bar" and speaking on the phone with an "apple expert"; neither the genius bar or the apple expert heard of such an integration option in new cars being sold. They wanted more information from me about how it work rather than them assisting me with my problem.
Anyway, after alot of experimenting I got my ipod touch 2G running firmware 3.1 to work somewhat consistently.
Turn off wi-fi on the touch, power off then back on, go the ipod menu and select playlist. Attach the touch to the infiniti supplied cable through the dock connector. Select the ipod option from dash board. Playlist, songs, artists, etc will appear on the dash display and begin playing.

PrObLeM WiTh IpOd pLaYiNg ViDeOs WiTh No SoUnD!! HELP ME!!

i have a ipod nano 8gb 3rd generation i just got a couple of weeks ago. i got it, read the directions, got the latest downloads, loaded itunes, put my music, videos, everything on itunes, and connected my i sync all of my music on mai ipod with no problem. but when i sync my videos onto my ipod....THERE IS NO SOUND!! the videos were previously converted before i synced them on the ipod. PLEASE HELP ME RESOLVE THIS PLEASE!!

QuickTime expects video files with separate video and audio tracks, but many MPEG formats used a muxed (multiplexed) single track that contains both. Therefore, when you convert videos in iTunes to iPod format they only show the video and no sound since iTunes (really QuickTime) is not looking for the audio track within the video track and it gets lost.
iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files

One way to work around this is to use MPEG Streamclip to convert the files to fix this issue...

but there are other applications besides MPEG Streamclip you can try as well.

Sound Problems with Ipod. NOT the headphones

Hello, a few days ago i was using my ipod and all the sudden there was no music coming out of my right headphone. I just thought it was the headphones so i bought new headphones. But that didn't solve the problem. This has happened to me before on an ipod but i could return it to the retailer i got it from, but now it is too late.
There is no sound coming from the right headphone but if i move the headphone jack around and push it in more, then i get audio in the right headphone. I have a 5.5 Generation iPod 30GB. Any ideas would be greatly thanked

Hi
I'm not a big techie but I had this problem and i took my 5th Gen 60GB to the Genius Bar at the Apple Store in Regent Street, London and they knew exactly what the problem was.
The iPod has a weak point in the headphone socket. If pressure is exerted on the headphone jack whilst it is in the socket it weakens the socket and eventually the socket breaks (always in the right ear). The only solution to this is prevention. Always use a set of 'phones that has a short or elbow shaped jack and always remove the jack from the socket when not in use!
Sorry Patrekeosully88 but you need to contact Apple and see what they are prepared to do for you. I was lucky cos it happened before 6th Gen hit the stores and they kindly gave me a shiny new one as the case etc was in near mint condition and they could see that I had looked after it.
Good luck!

After installing 11.2.2.3 iPod Classc. is wiped/"dead" (not recognized by iTunes, Win7 find the unit in explorer) and my iPod Touch refuse to comm with iPod interface in the car. Just wait for a iTunes update?

Hi,
I installed 11.2.2.3 2 days ago and have since then not been able to sync my iPod Classic (not recognized by iTunes anymore and alll data has been wiped but show up in Win explorer when in Disk mode with my label on it "Nik's iPod") my old iPod Touch appear to have all data left but doesn't communicate with my car anymore.
Nedless to say none of the other Apple devices in our house will be updated or connected until this is resolved.
Is this related to the iTunes update?
If so should I just wait for a new update to come out that can help me get these things sorted?
I have tried most of the different remedies listed in this forum to no avail and being computer illiterate (not comepletely but anyway) I just want to know if this is a known problem that I can successfully fix with a bit of fiddling or if its time to seek out a genius bar somewhere and get some help.

Any ideas on problem with ipod and alpine cde-9881 car stereo

I have an ipod 60gb v 1.2.1 and a new Alpine car stereo with Ipod connecting cable. When connected, the stereo message reads IPod searching. It never assumes control of ipod,or quits searching. I have reset and restored my ipod, had the apple geek at genius bar check it out. My ipod does not play on the alpine ipod ready stereo in my husband's car, nor the stereos in Car Toys. My husband's 30 gb ipod plays on the stereo in his car AND my car. Help! Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this problem? Alpine is telling me it could be a software problem with my ipod, and to revert to an earlier version of itunes. But my husband's ipod works in my car. So I did a restore using his computer and itunes....no luck. am interested in any ideas on a possible solution!!
Thanks in advance

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

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.

HT204368 My bluetooth conects with both cars, however, the phone audio is not played thru the cars speakers (it did in the past)

My iphone 4s used to connect with my car's bluetooth seamlessly, until the other day. It shows that it is connected on the car screen, but no audio from the phone call is played thru the car. I have to use the speaker phone to hear the phone call and hold the phone to my mouth for people to hear me. This happens in my car and my wife's car. Any ideas???

Well, to rule out any issues with the phone software I suggest that you try to repair the phone software using PC Companion..
Before repairing your device you may want to backup your information first. Check out this topic for more information on how to.

Problem with ipod not turning on

well heres the thing.... i dropped my ipod a few months ago then i tried to turn it on using reset etc. and all that other stuff you gotta do to try and get it to work, including waiting 24 hours and then resetting also connecting to other computers, and charger etc.... but when restarting i can hear the hard drive start to spin clicks and then slows down (like a powering down noise), without anything coming up on the screen... i have connected my ipod to the computer and it doesn't recognize it, but sometimes recognizes it, but doesn't come up with the drive in my computer... after a while (approx 5mins) it will come up with auto play and the drive will come up but then disappear straight away.... i am thinking probably a hard drive problem. any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Dropping didn't help matters. YOu don't want to hear it, but I'd say time for a new iPod.

Use ipod nano in the car

Hi,
I wanna use my ipod nano in the car. I know they have FM transmitter stuffs but I'd prefer not to have any bit of static and radio interference. So I asked my car dealer to install a headphone port in my car as an auxillary port (they said it's an ipod kit). But using with normal cable doesn't let me play around with ipod using the stereo buttons of the car. So I think what I need is a cable that has a dock connector at one end and a headphone port at the other. But it doesn't seem to be sold anywhere. Any thought or suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Problems with Ipod Touch

Problems with iPod Touch.
Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
Thanks in advance for your quick response

You should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
"I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores.

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.
