RE: ipod not working ipod ready head unit

I've had the same problems, and weirder ones, with my tC and my 5G iPod. My suggestion is to download and reload the original iPod firmware that came with the iPod. I'm not sure where you can get it online, but I made a backup of my iPod firmware that I've used while experimenting with using non-supported software, like iPod Linux. I'm going to try that later today and I'll see if that helps.
ever since i upgraded my ipod and my itunes the ipod has been acting >>weird when i connect it to my Car stereo. I have the upgraded ipod ready >>headunit for the Scion TC and when i got to browse song titles in an artist >>folder some times it won't show me the song titles but instead shows me >>the artist list again. Also if you dont have your ipod on repeat you have to >>disconnect the ipod and play any file then reconnect it to get the ipod to >>work. Please fix this Apple. Everything is so screwed now. I can't even get >>my new office eps on my ipod.

Try this.
How to reset the iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond.
It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.

IPod Click Wheel (4th gen) won't work with new head unit

Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right forum but... I just put a new head unit in our 2000 Mazda Miata. It's a JVC Arsenal KD-A806. I have tried using the front and back USB ports to connect the iPod and all I get is "reading" over and over and then "not support" on the head unit display. And the "do not disconnect" on the iPod. I've tried different cables and I know the head unit is ok because my husband's Samsung MP3 player works just fine. Is there something with the iPod that might not be up to snuff? I've confirmed via iTunes I have the latest software v3.1.1. It has about 4,000 songs on it.
Thanks in advance - I haven't been able to find any resolution anywhere else.

Mean to say KD-A805 (not 6) and I just found a link saying that you can't connect my iPod to this unit via USB....

Cannot navigate ipod through alpine iDA-X001 head unit

For some reason my ipod when connected to my head unit( alpine iDA-X001) only plays a shuffle. you should be able to search for artist and songs but when your trying to access it it wont let you. maybe alpine or apple hasnt updated firmware but i dont know why its not working.

I got same trouble when connected iPhone 4 32Gb to Alpine CDE-9871 via 422i cable. But my friends iPhone 4S 16Gb work fine with this cable and head. Maybe this is 32Gb version not supported or somthing else?

Try restarting your device. If that doesn't work, take it to an Apple store. If it is less than a year old and just stopped working, they will replace it for free (be sure to back it up to iTunes first). If you dropped it, you will have to pay because Apple will not replace a device due to "Human Error." If it is more than a year old, you will either have to pay to get it fixed, or have to pay to get it replaced.

IPod Touch no longer working with car Head Unit since update

Hi there, I have a problem with using my iPod Touch with my car's head unit.
I've been using my iPod Touch with the Alpine IDA X001 Head unit fitted in my car for the last 3 months without any problems, however I installed the latest software update for the Touch (v4.0) and now the head unit connects and then says no USB device. At first I thought it was the cable as the cable supplied with the head unit is pretty fragile, so I've replaced it with a new one but it still doesn't work.
I've tested with my iPod Nano and it works perfectly so its not a problem with the head unit or lead (I plugged the Touch in and it didn't work, plugged the Nano in and worked perfectly and then plugged the Touch in and didn't work).
Can anyone help or is it gonna be a case of Restoring the iPod Touch back to factory settings ????

I was also having this problem with my Kenwood car stereo. I went into the store and they did a complete restore. I didn't think it worked but the next time I plugged it into my usb to connect with my car stereo it worked. So you might try doing a restore.

IPod not working with any type of speakers

I have a 30gb video ipod. Up until about 2 weeks ago, I used it with great results in my car, with an itrip and at home on an iboom. Then it just stopped working. The strange thing is, it is not a hardware problem, because when I connect it to either of those, or to my PC, it recognizes and charges the ipod. The ipod lights up as if it is ready to play, but if I put a song on, no sound comes out. Just to be safe, I tried my friend's ipod on both and it worked fine.
I ran diags on my ipod and everything is fine. I have reset the ipod. I have updated my software to 1.2.1 on the ipod and 7.3 itunes. I know I can try to restore it, but I don't want to, unless it is the only way.
The "genius" in the apple store said he has never seen anything like this before. I have an appointment with another genius on Monday, but I was hoping maybe you guys would have an answer for me....I have always had more luck here than anywhere else.
Has anyone ever heard of this happening?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I've been having the same problem. A couple of days ago, i bought memorex ipod speakers and alarm clock and they didn't work at all with my 30GB iopd. I tested it on my dad's ipod (he has the exact same one as i do) and on my sister's nano and both worked, and i even went and tried my sisters speakers, which are just speakers with no alarm clock, and the ipod worked on there, so i decided to just return my new speakers and exchange them for ihome ones. This time, the speakers worked, but i had to control the songs by using the play and pause buttons on the ipod itself, when i'm supposed to be able to use the controls on the speakers and on the accompanying remote. Since the console can't control my ipod automatically, the alarm can't use the ipod when it goes off. Instead, it has to use the beeping sound. Again, i connected my dad's and sister's ipods, and, again, both of them worked perfectly. I, too, have tried everything to try to get it to work with no avail. I really hope i don't have to restore my ipod
Please let me know if anyone has figured anything out about what's going on.
Thanks!

Using the Ipod with a car stereo head unit interface

I have a Kenwood stereo head unit with a kca-ip500 interface for the ipod in my car so I can control the ipod through the head unit.
I was using my mothers old Ipod Nano with it and it was great because when you turn the car off, the song would pause and then when you start your car again, the song would continue on.
Now that I have my own Ipod, the 6th generation Nano, the ipod does not automatically turn on when i start the car unless it was on not long ago. Meaning the ipod turns itself off eventually and the next day when i drive my car I have to pull the ipod out of the glove box and turn it back on. I did not have to touch my mothers ipod, it just automatically turned on for me.
Any way around this so the ipod automatically turns on when it is fed power???

You did not answer my question, was it a firmware update for you iPod or you radio.
Firmware updates for iPods are done through iTunes, did they send instructions on how you were supposed to load it?
What was the filename?

20GB click wheel iPod not working- or showing up on computer

My wife's late-2003 20GB click wheel is not working or appearing on either of our Mac computers (either in iTunes or Disk Utility) when attached.
It's making a rather worrying sound (as if trying to engage a hard drive maybe?) and will briefly flash the Exclamation Point/Folder icon, then say Disk Mode and a checkmark and ready to disconnect.
Since it's impossible to find the iPod Updater software how do I restore this iPod- or even just get it out of disk mode? I've tried resetting it and had it plugged into a wall outlet for a day or so to make sure it wasn't a dead battery... any thoughts?
It had been working fine (and regularly connected to the computer to update).

You could try to format the iPod in Windows. It does the same thing as restoring and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". When that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.

After Security update, FireWire iPods not working in iTunes 7.0.2

Hi all,
this past weekend, I installed the latest Apple security update and restarted my Mac.
Everything was working fine until I connected my iPod mini (via FireWire) and realized that although the iPod is mounting on the desktop, it is NOT appearing in iTunes. My other iPod, a 10GB 3G iPod, is also experiencing the same problem. The exception to this is my son's 512MB Shuffle -- it's working just fine.
I've tried all of the following, to no avail:
1. changed FW port
2. reset iPod
3. restored iPod
4. deleted and reinstalled iTunes
5. ran Disk Utility and DiskWarrior and "repaired" iPod hard drive
help!

Does Ipod not work with Windows 2000 NT?

I keep getting an error when trying to install the Ipod CD... I tried downloading Itunes, but I am not sure how to get my Ipod to show up on it... any suggestions how to fix this?

No it does not work with NT. the Ipod Tunes software supplied along with the ipod is only compatible with Windows XP. But is does work with Windows 2000

Ipod not working, doesn't show up in source panel

i'm trying to restore my non-working ipod in itunes, but its not even showing up in the source panel when i connect it via usb. can i assume this means it's hopeless and i should just get a new one?

flyjam,
We may still be able to restore the iPod. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61003 will show you howto to resolve this issue.
To restore the iPod we would want to put it into Disk Mode first as described here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
If the iPod cannot be restored after following the tips in the article it will need hardware repair. The article has a link to the iPod service request website.

Ipod not working properly after ios6 update

I recently updated my ipod touch with the ios6 update, and now most of my apps wont open, and others shut down after a few seconds including the app store and itunes! is there any way of reversing the update? or fixing it without having to go to the apple store?

If the update does not work for you then do as I explained in my previous post and roll back to the previous driver. That philosophy can be applied to all updates.
If there is no pressing or emergent reason to update and your PC or notebook is running just great... don't update. (that is especially true when it comes to a BIOS update)
For your issue #2, the problem could be your wireless connection (hotspot, router or modem) that causes the dropped connection.
Best regards,
erico

Please someone help me out, I really need my iPod tomorrow morning and its not working. When I plug into my Mac to sync it makes this creaky sound, i think its from the hard drive then my iTunes just freezes...Please Help!

Ipod not working correctly

I have not used my Ipod mini in a very long time today I was trying to connect it to the computer to erase/add new songs or "sync" it....I connected it and the do not disconnect logo appears and the computer recognizes new hardware, but when I go into Itunes the icon does not show up. I downloaded the newest version and did all updates and its still not working. I tried to put the ipod into disk mode by following the instructions but it will not go into disc mode either. I went to windows media player and tried syncing it through there and it said it did successfully but then none of the songs showed up on the ipod its still showing the same old songs that were on there even though on media player it said i deleted and added the new ones. I then went to my computer to and opened the ipod file and it is showing all the changes made....old songs gone new songs added but they are still not showing up on the actual ipod.....any ideas what is going on or how to fix this??
Thanks!

Hmmmm... I'm not really sure what you're problem is. You could definitely try calling Apple's Tech Support Number (1-800-MY-APPLE) or visiting your local Apple Retail Store.
