Sound dropping when iPod connected to stereo - iOS 4.1

Why is the sound dropping when watching videos from the iPod when connected to a TV?
I have a Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K AV receiver with this nice setup (cable and functionality) that lets me watch videos on my TV with the iPod connected to the AVR (USB + composite video cable). The result is not bad, with better video than audio.
HOWEVER after upgrading to iOS 4.1 the sound (not picture) is dropping after various intervals of time (1 - 20 minutes) while plugged into the AVR. When I unplug the connection the video stops and the iPod goes back to the menu. The audio plays normally when restarting the video without the cable and continues to play normally when I plug the AVR cable back into the iPod. On occassions when plugging the AVR's cable into the iPod the sound does not come back, though unpluggin and plugging in again usually does it.
Anyone else have similar issues? I see some issues with apps and battery life under iOS4.1 and a few issues with audio / picture playback:

Have people had similar problems when iPods are connected to AVRs or TVs through composite or component cables? I realize the quality of sound / pictures from the iPod is not superb though it is as good as my sattelite dish. I could just have a computer connected to the AVR via HDMI or similar but well that would mean having a computer just for iTunes.

Thanks for posting this because I too have the Pioneer VSX-1019AH and have just noticed this problem. I rarely listen to my iphone (ipod) through my receiver and this problem never occured before until yesterday.
I am experiencing a sound loss at random times, and it takes restarting the receiver, or disconnecting then reconnecting the iphone cable to get the sound back again, only for it to go off again in a few moments time.
Whilst the sound is off, both the iphone and receiver are continuing to play music because you can see the title of the tracks change on both devices. So where the fault lies is hard to tell but I'd say it's with the ios4.
I don't know whether Apple will provide any support regarding this problem but I do notice the receiver has been endorsed "made for ipod" which means it meets Apple performance standards.

Launch iTunes on your new computer then from the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.
Try syncing.

Intermittent Sound Dropping When Streaming Audio

I've just step up my new Apple TV and streaming from my shared iTunes library over wireless network is great.. However when I stream using airplay on my iPad 3 or iPhone 5 the sound drops intermittently, as if the signal wasn't getting through, if you know what I mean! sometimes drops altogether and airplay on the device seems to switch off.
I can't see any settings that I could change even if I wanted to (or knew what to!) and it seems strange that it works fine from the pc but not from the other Apple products.
The wireless signal is obviously ok, or could it be the wireless bits n the iPhone/Pad are not as good as in the pc? Clutching at straws a bit here, hope someone out there can help.
Thanks.

When ipod connected won't update

The last time I connected my iPod I had added a bunch of songs and went over capacity and iTunes automatically made one giant playlist replacing all the other playlists I had made. I wanted my original playlists back so I deleted a bunch of songs and the giant iTunes created playlist in order to get my library and playlists down to less than 10GB ( the size of my iPod)and after I did this, a problem occurs whenever I try to update a problem occurs. When I connect my iPod to the computer, a window pops up in iTunes that says: " The iPod cannot be updated because all of the playlists selected for updating no longer exist."

ITunes 7.0.1.8 totally freezes when iPod connected

I installed iTunes 7.0.1.8 a few days ago, and today I'm having huge problems with it. Just yesterday I managed to upload a large set of videos to my iPod, and today, if I run iTunes without my iPod connected, I have no problems. However, when I plug my iPod in, it runs until it recognizes the iPod and displays the menu for it, and at that moment, the program entirely freezes. I can't push any buttons. It doesn't even manage to update the screen if I alt-tab between it and another window. And it uses 70% or more of my processor while not actually seeming to do anything.
I tried restarting my computer and my iPod. No good. The iPod is a 60 GB iPod video, and I have it set for manual management.
Dell 4550 Windows XP

As it turns out, mine just needed about ten minutes to sit there and think after I plugged the iPod in. Maybe yours is the same way. It's not acceptable, but you can get to your iPod if you have the patience.
I've also noticed that it feels the need to reanalyze the gapless playback information for all my songs after the first time I add something to the iPod after I plug it in. I think it might have been doing that when I first plugged it in also, and just wasn't updating the screen.

Volume control will not respond when iPod connected to Griffin iTrip

When I connect the iPod Classic 80GB from the bottom to the Griffin iTrip and to a 12 volt source, and listen to the music on an external FM radio, as in a boat, I cannot change the volume through the wheel of the iPod. I have to go to the radio to change volume.
What do I have to do so that the volume can be changed from the wheel of the iPod?
I would appreciate very much the solution to this problem.
Suribe

This is normal - cant adjust the volume from the iPod if we connect it via dock (the bottom of the iPod). If you would like to adjust the volume with the wheel of the iPod, then you should plug your iPod via its earphone jack - of course, different cable i.e. minijack to RCA audio cable

Nothing happening when iPod connected to computer (unable to charge iPod)

Hi,
Last week my 1st generation iPod nano was working fine, I had charged it to full battery and used it until the battery went flat.
Now when I connect the iPod to the computer, nothing happens. Nothing appears on the iPod screen and iTunes is unable to detect the iPod.
Since the battery is now flat, I can't even turn the iPod on. I have tried holding down the centre button and the menu button for 10 secs but nothing happens.
When I use the same cable on a different 1st generation iPod Nano, it charges and connects fine.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem is and what I can do to fix it?

I have the same exact problem. I have an older iPod which connects perfectly, but my 1gb Nano isn't recognized. I just want to change the songs on my Nano.

ITunes doesn't lauch automaticly when iPod connected

Hi,
iTunes doesn't launch automaticly when my I connect iPod touch 2nd gen.
Sincerely.

Here's what I did when iTunes started to not open automatically when I connect my iPod touch to the Universal Dock. With the iPod connected, I unchecked "Open iTunes automatically" and "Apply", then I checked "Open iTunes automatically" again. iTunes asked me if I wanted to install "iTunesHelper.app" and I clicked "Yes". No problems with any of my iPods since.
Make sure iTunesHelper.app is active on launch in System Preferences > Accounts.

ITunes shuts down when iPod connects

Well i bought the new 5th Generation iPod and when i connect it, it shuts down the whole iTunes. I tried it on another windows vista computer, and same issue. Works fine with MAC. But I dont want to buy another computer. ASSISTANCE?

Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel, and go into your Problem History. Look for iTunes problem reports generated at the same time as the ipod-plugging-in incidents. Open them up and have a look at the details. Are they all saying the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical report into a reply here so we can have a look at it.

Song Name Field Not Showing up when Ipod connected to ITunes

I have one of the first IPOD's (15GB). When connected to ITunes and I click on music to see my whole list, it does not display the "song names". I've been through all the help screens, and they say to "check mark" the song name field. When you bring that up, there is NO choice for song name field. My wife also has the same IPOD and it displays the song names just fine...also without an available choice for song name. I have found a work around and that is bringing up the Get Info on a song and copying the name over to the "sort name" field, which there is a choice to display that. However typing this on every song is way to long as I have 3,000 songs in there. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!

That's what I thought also, but when expanding the window, it still doesn't show. However on 2 older playlists, when I first got it, the name column shows, but not on the "master list" of all songs, and also not on new playlists.
When I connect my wifes IPOD, same one, it shows up on every playlist and the master. I have had this issue for about 2 years through different Itunes versions. I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that when I first got the IPOD I used "music match" instead of Itunes? Or it could just be an issue with the IPOD. I've resisted doing a restore and wiping everything out as I've switched desktop computers and quite a few of those songs are not on my hard drive. I can work around it, but it's a hassle.
I just figured out how to make the song name show, but using the "sort name" field, but now I'm wondering if there is a way to copy the name to the sort name field in a mass conversion instead of doing it one by one.

When iPod connected message: "program has encountered a problem"

Problem connecting 4gb Ipod Nano to Itunes.
1. Without connecting the Ipod, I can double click on the iTunes icon and the program runs as usual.
2. However when I connect the iPod via the provided usb connector several strange things occur
a. As soon as the iTunes program appears on the screen, I am simultaneously connected to my Microsoft Outlook email screen which appears on top of the iTunes screen. Shortly thereafter the screen showing the iPod information then appears, immediately or even simultaneously with the window that says the program has encountered a problem and it must close.
b. This recurs each time I repeat the sequence.
c. Oddly enough so long as I do not click on the end program button, the iTunes program synchs perfectly with the iPod that it is connected to.
Question: why, when the iPod is connected does Microsoft Outlook automatically show on my screen when iTunes comes up? Why does the “encountered problem” screen come up?

Hey lenharris,
Have you tried starting Firefox in Safe Mode? Hold down ''shift'' while Firefox is starting up. If the crash doesn't happen in Safe Mode, you should read [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]].
There is also a lot of useful stuff in the [[Firefox crashes]] Knowledge Base article. If you've recently upgraded, you might want to check out [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/latest-firefox-issues#w_firefox-crashes-when-i-start-it this article] as well.
Hopefully this helps!

ITunes freezes when iPod connected

I have Windows XP and iTunes version 11.0.1. Since I've updated iTunes I haven't tried to sync my iPod touch 4th generation. When I connected my iPod my iTunes freezes and I can't click on anything. Once I disconnect the iPod then iTunes works fine. What should I do? Thanks.

I've had similiar problems when it comes to freezing. What I did was simply wait. I loaded my iPod and the mouse pointer showed the hourglass for a few minutes, then the iPod simply showed up on iTunes. Try rebooting your system, connecting iPod, and giving it a few minutes.

IMAC freezing when IPOD connected

When I connect my shuffle to my IMAC to download songs or recharge, it doesn't sync and, in fact, freezes my IMAC. I have to shut the computer down to make it right. Unable to download any tunes to IPOD. Help please...!

alright one thing you should do is be patient. Give the shuffle at least 10min while its connected. With the new version of itunes out people have had this happen. If this does not work try re-downloading the latest version of itunes. Also restart your ipod. Give it a shot. hope all goes well.
