Solution to 'Connected to Accessory' for iPod Classic docking

(solution: at least for my docking device)
I bought a Neo iPod docking station for my BMW and it used the iPod 60 GB (last generation) and it worked great – no problems.
Last week I bought the Classic iPod 160 GB and got the 'Connected to Accessory' problem using the docking station in my car.
No iPod screen and none of the controls on the iPod would work.
Thought about taking the iPod back.
Took the car to the installer and he fixed it.
You are not going to believe this:
Go to your iPod Menu > Settings > Clicker and change the setting to "On"
(default is "Off")
That is it - plug it in your docking station and it works fine.
Hope this works for you.

    Hello mimward,
    It sounds like Windows can see your devices, but iTunes is not seeing them. I would use the troubleshooting in the following article named:

  • I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    I connected my brand new iPod Classic 160 GB to my brand new Sony home entertainment system through the headphone jack (to the audio line in). The volume is ridiculously low. Can somebody help me out here?

    Make sure the volume on the iPod is turned up fully, since this will affect what you hear through the stereo.
    Make sure Volume Limit is set to full. (From Main Menu, Settings/Volume Limit)
    If you purchased your iPod inside the EU (European Union), then the maximum volume from the headphone jack is lower than elsewhere in the world. If this is the case, buy yourself a 30-pin Dock Connector to 3.5mm jack lead, such as the one linked here...
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Decrescent-Connector-Stereo-Auxiliary-iPhone/dp/B007NIE5 EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386012456&sr=8-1&keywords=30+pin+to+3.5mm
    That connector will take a higher volume out (than the European Union's output) and that will be louder (and hopefully loud enough) through your stereo.

  • Applications for ipod classic

    With the advent of ipod touch and ipad the applications and games are available only for these versions. Will itunes please consider selling applications and games for ipod classic users as well. I do not intend on upgrading to the other models for a while and wish I could still get applications for my ipod. Thank you for your consideration.

    There are apps! In iTunes, on the App Store heading, click the little down arrow for the drop down menu. Click on iPod Click Wheel Games.

  • Games for Ipod classic

    Hello, Anybody knows why there isn´t games for Ipod classic on itunes? last year I purchase Pacman game and now I don't find a link anymore.
    thanks

    I can never find them through the iTunes store in iTunes. But what I do is google "ipod classic games" and usually the first link is an Apple page, that will link your iTunes to the Classic games store. It's weird, but it's the only way I've found to get in. Now, if these games weren't all $4.99 I might actually get one or two. It's pretty criminal that games for the older-school iPod are 5 bucks, while the Touch has better games, some for $.99 and others for free.
    Apple should wise up and start discounting the Classic games. They'd make a killing.
