Sony Xplod (CDX-GT820IP) Ipod Communication error

Ipod Communication error, with my new Ipod nano exchange the radio and the ipod no change. However my old ipod wheel works fine, all feature accessible. I was very disappointed new should be better should it not. Dunno but as someone who know a little about technology. terrific video, nice music quality, however the main reason for buying the unit was to use in my vehicle, since i own another unit for gym use. I saw the post about an additional access. However that is a bit much since the already has the technology to make the older unit compatible and so she the newer on. (Charging not allowed with the connector) If you however star playing a song and the connect the unit the song will then play with car stereo control, and the AUX connection works fine however control is not possible with AUX not ipod related. This is a HUGE ISSUE...FLAW

Not sure if this thread is really still going or not, but here's what I found on Sony's site for the CDX-GT820IP; which I recently got just after getting the 4G iPod Nano:
http://esupport.sony.com/perl/news-item.pl?news_id=43&mdl=CDXGT820IP
A lot of iPods are listed; but not the 4G nano... It's a shame. I have an older 2nd generation nano that works great with the deck... it takes less than two seconds for it to recognize that the iPod's been connected and start playing music. Problem is, the older nano is my husband's, so I have to convince him to let me load "my" music on his ipod... who'd have thought we'd be fighting over who got to use the old one!!
Anyway, hope this helps...

Ipod Communications Error rec'd when connecting to Ipod port in Scion Xb

I recently purchased an Ipod Nano and a Scion Xb. The Scion has an Ipod port for easy connection. However, when I connect my Ipod Nano to the port/cable, I get an error message. "Ipod Communication Error" Does anyone know what I can do to fix this problem?

I have a Scion xB 2006 with the Pioneer iPod control and an iPod Photo 30GB. Which was working fine for about 3 weeks and now it will play a few tunes and then freeze. I've also run into songs playing but with no sound on iPod. I've tried rebooting the iPod, I've tried to restore/update, reload the music and settings on the iPod with no luck. After the freeze the setting stay stuck to the Scion logo on the iPod.
I suspect Pioneer puts a little bit of code out on the iPod disk or firmware to get it to work with the Steering Wheel controls as well as putting out its own logo and messages on the iPod display itself. Support for the iPod podcast menu seems non-existent as well. It would be nice if there was a way to get the iPod back to Factory Settings. I suspect a problem with the manufacturer Pioneer. But I'll go complain to my dealer first!

Windows Windows XP SP2

I'm also having the same problem since upgrading to the latest iTunes version 6.05. I've followed all the instructions for uninstalling and reinstalling ipod updater and itunes setup including deleting all temp files, diabling Norton Antivirus. Still get the iPod Service Error when launching iPod updater and the communication error in iTunes. I'm at a loss to the problem. My other PC with iTunes 6.04 reads the ipod just fine. Any other suggestions?

Sony Xplod CDX-S2010 Stopped Working

I just bought a vehicle that has the Sony Stereo in it - it worked fine, but the time was off...I went in and adjusted the time, but ever since then, the radio doesn't work.
It seems to be in permanent DEMO mode, with no way to power on. I can insert a CD, it seems to play, but no sound comes out.
I've tried holding SEL to get to the menu, but no luck. I've removed the faceplate and pushed the RESET button, no luck.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance!

I've also tried cleaning the contacts both on the faceplate and the deck...no luck.

Sony Head Unit and iPod Issue

I just got the Sony Xplod CDX GT620IP head unit installed the other day and I'm pretty happy with it. The only problem is that I have the iPod Ready Feature (allows you to control iPod through the head unit). I plan on keeping an iPod in the glove compartment so that I have a hard drive full of music waiting in the car. However, when I turn the head unit and car off, the iPod is in the idle state, but displays "You may safely disconnect the device" even though the head unit no longer powers the iPod. When everything is off, the iPod will remain on until the battery dies out or if it's unplugged. I don't want to unplug the iPod, I just want it to shut down when the unit is turned off. Is there a way to fix this?
EDIT: I have an iPod Nano, iPod Video, and the iPod touch, all of which experience the same problems (not turning off).If you have solutions for any of them, I'd be happy to know. Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,
Just signed up to these forums having done a google search for this same problem! I'm in the UK and this is affecting my 2008 CDE-9880R in exactly the same way Adrian describes - highly annoying having purchased this unit to avoid this kind of problem! So much for an Alpine/Apple collaboration!
I am currently resorting to the 'pause' function on the headunit before keying off the ignition. Although I spoke to an Alpine tech guy at Alpine UK on the phone today and he is sending out another small lead that apparently goes inline with the current lead. He mentioned something about the headunit not recognising 80gb classics properly??? Not sure whether this will fix the problem but I'll keep you posted. I think a firmware issue is more likely to be the problem. At least Alpine seem to be aware of the problem and not just fobbing people off.
Cheers,
Mark.

Communication errors when iPod 2nd gen connected to car stereo

So a while back I ultimately decided to update my 2nd gen iPod touch from iOS 3.1.3 to the highest it'll support, which I believe is iOS 4.2.1. The update went fine, and everything seemed to be working alright until I plugged it into my car's stereo as I normally do while going to work and back. I'll detail the problem below.
The stereo is aftermarket, a Pioneer unit, which is probably considered really old by today's standards but for me it still works beautifully. I plug the iPod in via the USB port it has. Before updating the iPod, there were no problems. After the update, specific songs on the iPod will trigger an "Error-19" to display on the screen of the stereo, and all control of the iPod ceases to function. The error refers to a communication error of some sort between the iPod and the stereo. Now the strange thing is that even though this error pops up, the iPod will continue to play the song that caused the error and proceed to the next track when it's done. I have my iPod playing on shuffle so when this error comes up I have to wait for the song to finish and hope the next one doesn't trip the error again when I unplug and plug the iPod back in. Doing that while the song is still playing just produces the same error. Ifthe next track is fine, plugging it back in restores all function.
So while this error isn't the end of the world, it's a brain teaser that's been irking me for a few weeks now. I'm hoping someone may know if something within iOS was changed between 3.x and 4.2.1 that might cause this type of communication error to come up. I originally thought it may have something to do with ID3 tags and some rogue setting that confuses the stereo when it's sent over, but I couldn't really find any major difference between songs that work perfectly fine and those that cause the error to show up. I'm at a loss here so any isight would be appreciated.
Also of note, I am aware that upgrading to a newer stereo or newer iPod will undoubtedly fix this, but I don't really have a need to spend money replacing equipment that is still in working order. Thanks for your time.

Sometimes this works:
- Reset the car system
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If not then contact the Pioneer. Maybe there is a firmware update available for the car system.
Yes, other users have reported that updated to iOS 4 broke compatibility with some care systems.

Re I-Movie. "Communication Error" is what I get when I try and send a clip from my Sony camera to the IMovie program in my IMAC 2008 Intel Chips. The IMovie program has worked well for several years - up to now. What has gone wrong?

Re I-MOVIE. I am getting a "Communication Error" when I try and send a clip to the IMovie
program in my IMAC 2008 Intel Chip computer. This is the first time in 3 years that the
program has not worked. What has gone wrong?

Hi
Have no idea - But if it is a new problem with exactly the same kind of material that was previously used. Then my trouble shooting guide might help.
If You
• used a new Camera - file codec might be a sort that don't work
• Your main hard disk might get too filled up
Else try
Trouble
When iMovie doesn't work as intended this can be due to a lot of reasons
• iMovie Pref files got corrupted - trash it/they and iMovie makes new and error free one's
• Creating a new User-Account and log into this - forces iMovie to create all pref. files new and error free
• Event or Project got corrupted - try to make a copy and repair
• a codec is used that doesn't work
• problem in iMovie Cache folder - trash Cache.mov and Cache.plist
• version miss match of QuickTime Player / iMovie / iDVD
• preferences are wrong - Repair Preferences
• other hard disk problem - Repair Hard Disk (Disk Util tool - but start Mac from ext HD or DVD)
• External hard disks - MUST BE - Mac OS Extended (hfs) formatted to work with Video
( UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange - works for most other things - but not for Video )
• USB-flash-memories do not work
• Net-work connected hard disks - do not work
• iPhoto Library got problems - let iPhoto select another one or repair it. Re-build this first then try to re-start iMovie.
This You do by
_ close iPhoto
_ on start up of iPhoto - Keep {cmd and alt-keys down}
_ now select all five options presented
_ WAIT a long long time
• free space on Start-Up (Mac OS) hard disk to low (<1Gb) - I never go under 25Gb free space for SD-Video (4-5 times more for HD)
• external devices interferes - turn off Mac - disconnect all of them and - Start up again and re-try
• GarageBand fix - start GB - play a few notes - Close it again and now try iMovie
• Screen must be set to million-colors
• Third-party plug-ins doesn't work OK
• Run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac
• Let Your Mac be turned on during one night. At about midnight there is a set of maintenance programs that runs and tidying up. This might help
• Turn off Your Mac - and disconnect Mains - for about 20-30 minutes - at least this resets the FireWire port.
• In QuickTime - DivX, 3ivx codec, Flip4Mac, Perian etc - might be problematic - temporarily move them out and re-try
(I deleted the file "3ivxVideoCodec.component" located in Mac HD/Library/Quicktime and this resolved my issue.)
buenrodri wrote
I solved the problem by removing the file: 3ivxVideoCodec.component. after that, up-dated iMovie runs ok.
Last resort: Trash all of iMovie and re-install it

IPod Service Error with iPod installer 2006-06-28

I previously had a Mini but lost it (stolen). I bought a Nano to replace it but could never get it to work. I returned this and purchased a new 30g iPod. Same issues. I get the error message "iPod Service Error" when I open the 2006-06-28 iPod Software Updater. I even get this message whether I have my iPod connected or not. In iTunes, I get the message "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
Well, I've reinstalled iTunes countless times and reinstalled the updater a equal number of times with no luck. I tried all the steps (including links) in:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93716
I also used msconfig with no luck. I disabled my Norton internet security and antivirus software with no success. I disabled the Fast User Switching and followed someone's advice regarding FAT32, but again no luck.
I tried to read through all the latest discussions and articles I could find, but am now getting confused. Is there anyone out there who has been able to tackle this problem? My alternative is returning my iPod and giving up on iTunes. Help me please!! Thanks.

Thanks for your response and sorry for the delay. I've been traveling. Yes, I did try making another XP user account and got the same results. I have not tried the installer cleanup. What do I do with this utility? I read the instructions from MS, but not sure if I should just highlight the iTunes, iPod, and QuickTime stuff on my PC. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Updater "ipod service error" and itunes "reinstall itunes"

I got my ipod exchanged just recently from a regular 20gb iPod to a color/photo ipod. I downloaded the newest iPod updater and the newest iTunes. I go into the updater program and a message comes up saying "iPod Service error". When i plugged in my unit to my computer, iTunes shows a message "the software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod software.
Here's the problem. I went to Apple's online help and went through all the possible solutions it had (reinstall iTunes, Disable conflicting system services and startup items, disable conflicting system services and startup items and reinstall, resintall the COM interface for the iPod service) and none of them worked.
What do i do? because I've spent the whole week trying to figure out what's going on. I've repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled both the updater and iTunes. Anyone have any answer to this?

It might be a total pain, but you might do best if you call Apple Support if you can... Hopefully you didn't get a bad 'Pod.

"iPod Service Error" plus other issues

Hi, I hope someone can help me.
My iPod is severely malfunctioning. Sometimes, when I turn it on, the screen pops up with a folder and exclamation point. Sometimes it pops up saying "Connect to iTunes to restore". And sometimes it works fine.
I am trying to connect it to iTunes to restore it, and I just installed the newest iTunes but iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. Windows might or might not recognize the iPod. It recognizes something, but instead of naming that something as the name of my iPod as it usually does, the computer calls it "Removable Disk G". And when I try to update the iPod or restore it with the iPod Updater, a "iPod Service Error" pops up.
I have also noticed that instead of a color "Do not Disconnect" flashing sign on my connected iPod, I have a black-and-white and small Do Not Disconnect sign.
What do I do? Help! Thanks

Printer Communication Error

I've owned an Epson 1280 printer for about a year now, but for some reason it no longer prints. When I print a document the pop-up message reads: "Printer communication error, try reseting printer and try again"
But that still doesnt work. My system profile can read the printer, but my printer list can not.
When I try to add a printer via Printer Setup Utility, it can't find the new drivers. Even after installing new drivers from the Epson website.
What is this communication error? And how can I fix it?
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!

I never found an answer to my problem. I just used the lazy way of troubleshooting any problem.
I just reinstalled my OS and archived the previous system. Everything is fine again. My Epson 1280 prints, YES!

Communication error via USB to Mitsubishi Outlander sport with iPhone 4 4.2

I just bought a brand new 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport with all the bells and whistles. I tried connecting my iPhone 4 running firmware 4.2.1 and it gives me a communication error. We have 3 iPhone 4 at home and all the same problem. When we used an iPod nano it worked fine, do what's the deal with the iPhone 4? Very disappointing, any ideas?

Gonna try this fix with my Mitsubishi outlander !!! 2011 !!! "FUSE System allows you to update your system software and new software is now available. It will allow you to enjoy USB audio connection with an iPod /iPhone with operating software of 4.0 or above." from this website http://www.mitsubishifuse.com/support.taf?p=7&n=1
booked an appointment to get this firmware update
will report back after it is done
Lets hope this works !

Updated and now the ipod communication software won't install or uninstall

After updating to the newest itunes (biggest mistake ever) the ipod communication files cannot be installed or uninstalled. I keep getting the same error message despite countless attempts to fix the install, uninstall and reinstall, install manually...
itunes does not recognize my ipods when they are plugged in, and I've now gone over a week without being able to sync them...completely worthless!

Not sure what exactly you did; your description is a bit confusing. What I suggest you do (assuming you want the English version for Windows)
*Download the installer from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US.exe (or from http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.0/enu/AdbeRdr90_en_US_Std.exe if you don't want Adobe AIR and Acrobat.com)
*Download the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301
*Run the utility and remove any Adobe Reader references
*Run the Adobe Reader installer

Failed to restore iPod touch (Error code 9)

Few days after upgarding my iPod touch to iOS 5, I got a message on the iPod saying I need to connect to iTunes.
After connecting to teh iPod to the PC, the iTunes says I need to restore the device.
I tried to restore few times with no success - each time the follwoing message is displayed:
"The iPod could not be restored. An unkown error occured (9)".
How can I restore the iPod back to normal operation ?
Roy

Try this, copied from Update and restore error messages on iPhone and iPod touch
Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

Sony Xplod CFD-G700CP CD Boombox AM-FM Not working

I have a Sony Xplod CFD-G700CP CD Boombox. It plays CD's fine but I can not get it to play AM or FM stations. I do not even get static. Was wondering if this is a known problem with the AM FM tuner. This unit has not been abused. It doesn't matter how I orient the unit it will not pick up any radio stations.

Hello,
Welcome to the User Discussion Forums.
have you recently performed a firmware update on your iPhone? if not make sure your iPhone is upto date. is the IPod still functional?
If one is working and the other is not, it is most likely due to an update or other driver added to the phone.
if you have checked all drivers on your phone please contact service to help determine what else could be causing this issue.
