Trouble connecting Ipod touch to home stereo.

Hello, I have an Ipod Touch 3rd gen.  I currently use it mostly in my car and I use a simple aux 3.5 mm jack from the itouch to my aux input on my car stereo to listen to music.  Works great.  Now, I have been trying to get my ipod to connect to either of my home stereo receivers without any luck.  I have a 3.5mm jack from the itouch going to 2 rca inputs on the back of the stereo.  When I try to get it to play, it sometimes will play but it is not loud at all and sounds very distorted.  I can sort of hear the music but the vocals are very quiet.   This happens on both of my home stereos.  I was thinking of getting another cable that goes from the 30 pin connector on the bottom to the 2 rca inputs.  Do you think this would be better?  Or do I not have something configured right with the itouch?  Its just weird that it works fine in my car but not with the home stereo.  Thanks for the input. 

This may work since it includesd an audio out\http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC748ZM/A/apple-composite-av-cable?fnode=72
This may also work since it included :
Connect the dock to a stereo or speakers using a stereo audio cable to play music from iPod or iPhone."

  • IPOD TOUCH AND HOME STEREO

    All,
    New to the board. I have an Ipod Touch, and wanted to play it through my home stereo which is a Denon, and has the Aux outputs in the front. There is a Video - aux, and 2 slots for audio. I went and bought the cable that indicated for IPOD (Touch) to Home stereo. But when I plugged it into the stereo, no sound came out.
    i made sure the selection was on Aux, but still not sound? Am I missing something? Is there any outputs on the back of the receiver I could use?
    HELP???

    You need to plug it into an input, not an output.

  • Trouble Connecting Ipod Touch to Itunes

    Hey Guys
    Having a bit of trouble with my new Ipod Touch I bought over the weekend... hoping you could help me out.
    Basically my ipod will be recognised by itunes but when it tries to sync I get the error message
    "The ipod cannot be synced. The disk could not be read or written to."
    After discussing it with Apple Support, I connected the device to another computer, which connects with the ipod and syncs fine. After looking in the device manager and seeing that the ipod is not appearing, they are claiming that it's an issue with the windows driver for the usb2 port and theres nothing I can do and to call windows support.
    The strange thing is, when I buy songs by wifi on the itunes store via the ipod touch - when I connect the device that song will transfer back to itunes no problem.
    Anyone have any ideas? I've updated itunes and ipod software, uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and deleted temp directories.

    Hey burntfilm82,
    Does the iPod touch work correctly in another user account?
    This article describes howto setup another user account and has some good troubleshooting tips.

    Does it work correctly when you do a selective startup?

  • Problems connecting iPod to car & home stereo

    Whenever I connect my iPod to my car or home stereo, I can only hear music out of one speaker. Is there a setting I need to adjust from the iPod itself in order to hear my music in stereo mode?
    Please help, I'm leaving on tour tomorrow morning!

    I'm connecting my iPod from the earphone jack into my home stereo using white & red RCA cables.
    I'm also using a car adapter that plugs from the earphone & little flat slot next to it and this to the cigarette lighter.
    Neither way am I able to hear my music in stereo.

  • Trouble connecting Ipod Touch 2G to Belkin Tunecast auto

    Hi there! I just bought my Ipod Touch 2G on this Chritsmas and find it really cool, but... I have this one problem, when I try to connect it to my new Belkin Tunecast auto, it just doesn't stop sending the audio trough the internal speakers in order to ear the sound on the external ones, (in this case my auto-stero via AM/FM signal) and I know the problem is not the belkin transmiter because I also try it on my Ipod nano, and it works perfect there, so I think something happens with my Ipod touch, can you tell me if that's normal, I mean can the iPod Touch send the audio outside from the "charging port" like many others ipod's or it have to be done by the headphone output only, help me please, thanks!

    The Belkin Tunecast Auto does not support the iPod Touch and you will not get it to work. Please read the description of the product here :-
    http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=263595
    It clearly shows what devices work with it and the iPod Touch is NOT listed.

  • Having trouble connecting iPod Touch with iTunes 8.2

    I have a first generation iPod Touch 16GB, before the recent 8.2 iTunes update (or it may have been 8.0, I tend to ignore those annoying 'please update now messages')my iTunes worked properly, and the Touch would sync whenever I connected it.
    Now when I connect the iPod to my computer it no longer shows up in iTunes, the computer (running Windows Vista Basic) recognizes the iPod is there, and the iPod charges properly. iTunes itself however is oblivious.
    I've tried completely reinstalling iTunes like the support page suggests, but the problem persists, it is getting quite annoying now since I cannot get the new 3.0 OS update or put new music on.
    Can anybody help?

    I have the same problem, but mine won't even take a charge from the computer, or my docks. I have to plug it into a wall wart usb charger and then it works fine. Can't get my computer to recognize/sync it since the "upgrade" to 8.2. The only responses worth a crap on this topic say to just be patient because it is now a known bug they are working on. IMO I wish Apple would stop acting like MS and stop releasing stuff that hasn't been properly beta tested. This glitch has occurred for thousands of users, and any basic cross platform testing process should have revealed this problem in the first 5 minutes. Yet ANOTHER embarrassing POS from the "new" Apple.

  • Trouble connecting Ipod Touch 2nd gen to Win 7 PC.  Sync resets...

    I have a second gen Ipod Touch that has had a lot of problems lately. It refuses to sync with my pc that I had installed it on, and every time I start syncing it, it will freeze with the load symbol, or it will reset the ipod. Not a complete reset, but like it turned the ipod off and then turned it back on. I haven't had it sync for weeks now. I tried resetting it through itunes and it froze on resetting, so I reset it on the ipod using the reset. Retire in settings. So it reset and deleted everything on the ipod, and now I have an ipod with stock apps, no music, no anything. And it still won't sync. I am using the newest ver of itunes for 64bit win 7, and I also have the newest ver of software for the ipod touch. I then tried transporting my library to my other pc, with different hardware than the first, but it is also using win 7. It is having the same problem as listed above. Should I do a complete hard reset on the ipod? If so, I forgot how to do that? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    I have been trying for about a month to get my Touch to sync with i-tunes. I have already used up my "1" support from the technical center and I think apple is a bunch of a$$es for not supporting this product better. They change the OS for i-tunes and then nothing works afterwards....Lame! If anyone finds out how to repair this issue please let us know, Apple is of no help to us. I'm glad windows has something out now, time for something new on the Christmas list !!!!!

  • Connecting iPod touch to home wireless internet

    I've had my iPod since April, and when I got to "settings", "wi-fi", it shows my home network but when I put in the password (I've tried both the router and the network password), a message pops ups that says, "Unable to join the network."
    The iPod works in public places such as Starbucks and Barnes and Noble, but I want the wi fi at home as well.
    Ideas?
    Thanks much!

    Most routers may have a password in ALL CAPS and numbers, so you will have to type the password EXACTLY how it is. no extra spaces, no extra letters, nothing. make sure you are looking at the WEP Key, WPA key [ For airport extreme and time capsule ], etc... And if you DO have MAC Address filtering on, you will have to add your device manually. if you have no idea what it is, or the person who set up the router doesnt know what it is, then its probably not on.

  • Connecting Ipod Touch to Home Network via Linksys Router

    After hours of frustrating attempts and able assistance from Apple product specialists and Linksys agents the issue was finally resolved inadvertently. Here's the solution for anyone having trouble:
    1. Perform a hard reset on the router - holding tiny red button next to the power cable in for 30 seconds.
    2. Perform a soft reset on the router - unplug the power cable for 30 seconds.
    3. Reset your cable modem.
    4. After rebooting everything, go to your router pages on the web. Re-establish your network settings. Make sure the Wireless Mac Filter setting is disabled. That worked for us. Hope it will save others the time and trouble we experienced.

    Thanks for posting your resolution.
    I would also like to mention that Linksys router owners should always update their router firmware to the latest version when encountering connection issues.

  • Connecting iPod Touch to bluetooth car stereo

    I recently got the Sony MX-BT2700 for my car and am loving being able to play music off my touch wirelessly. My question though is if there is a easier way to connect the touch to the stereo. Right now every time I get in the car I have to go to settings>general>bluetooth and tell it to connect to my stereo even though it's already paired. Is there someway that the iPod can be set to automatically connect to a bluetooth device when one is available? My phone (not an iphone) is able to do this without touching anything as soon as I get in the car. Thanks for the help!

    I talked to Blaupunkt support in the states and they say that they are aware of the problem! Now what kind of an answer is that? I agree with you, Blaupunkt should get on this problem and fix it. Blaupunkt catalog actually states that the Ipod interface works with any Blaupunkt head unit with CDC control since 1998+. On the interface box it says 2001+. The simple fact is they should get there "stuff" together and fix it!

  • I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack.  The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble.

    I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack.  The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble.  I have to turn the bass control on the stereo receiver to pratically zero in order for the sound coming through the stereo to be acceptable.  Is there a setting on either the iPod or the stereo that I need to change in order to fix this?

    The phono input is for a phonograph.  The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output.  Does th stero have an AUX input?  That should be compatible.

  • Yesterday my iPod touch's home button would not work and to day it is completely turned off and wont turn back on and it is fully charged and when i connect it to itoons it dosent reckinise it

    Given the information supplied, it sounds very similar to what happened to my wife's 4.  Locked up...came back on with a blank (bluish) screen...could here emails and text coming through.  It would get very hot as well.  Our local apple store tried two times to rescue it, ultimately rendering it complete inoperable.  I'm sorry to say in our case we had to buy a refurb and trade in the phone for $150, which actually wasn't a bad deal.
    There could be other information I'm missing, but I would start with seeing if apple can restore your phone.  If they can't, then I'm pretty sure it's dead.
