TS2634 While using my Ipod with a Sony sound dock, it randomly gives me an error message of "incompatibility." Any ideas?

While using my Ipod Touch with a Sony Sound dock, it randomly gives me an error message - "incompatible." It honestly worked perfectly for an hour, then suddenly stopped being compatible? Any ideas out there? I have:
started, restarted.
Plugged, unplugged.
Tried dock with a different ipod- worked fine.
Help!

It's a Touch, not a phone, so not sure how to answer if it's a 4G... sorry:)
Inspection doesn't yield anything obvious; I've tried a soft toothbrush and air duster spray, to no avail...
The Ipod touch does work on another device; I'm still trying to figure out why it worked for several hours this morning, then get the message that "this device is not supported by this Ipod." Wierd.

Resolve iOS update and restore errors

My upgrade to IOS5 for iphone 4 continually times out with error message 3259. Any ideas on why?

My download of ios5 continually times out in itunes, quoting error message 3259. Any ideas why

THIS WAS COPIED FROM A THREAD THAT WORKED FOR ME SO I CAN'T TAKE THE CREDIT
Open notepad as administrator, and direct yourself to:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc
open the "Hosts" file:
note the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" portion near the bottom. your hosts may be different, and if so, then look for that part specifically. the problem for me, lied within the fact that just before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, there originally was no hash(#) with the space like the rest of the hosts file. This was all I had to fix. After editing and then SAVING the hosts file in notepad I restarted iTunes and the update went through without a hitch!
so if you do not see the hash and space before the "127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com" part, all you have to do is put the #, and then press tab! I hope this works for some of you guys! So just to be clear, that particular line in the file should look like:
# 127.0.0.1 gs.apple.com
good luck!

Swapping Power Adapters while using mini iPod with Belkin TuneFM

I recently purchased the Belkin TuneFM so that I could listen to my iPod through any FM radio. The TuneFM comes with a car charger so that I can charge my iPod while I am driving, however when I am at home I cannot use the normal usb cable because the TuneFM attaches on the bottom of the iPod where you would normally attach the USB cable.
Here is what I have:
http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=257339
My question is that I noticed that my Motorola Phone Charger has the same size plug as the TuneFM car charger, however the car charger can only be used in the car, and my phone charger can connect to a normal outlet. Will I damage my iPod if I use my phone charger to charge my iPod with the TuneFM attached or should it be ok?
I want to think it will be ok, because my phone charges normally in my car and in the house, so wouldn't the iPod work similarly? I also plugged it in momentarily and the iPod did show it as charging, but I didn't want to risk it so I immediately took it off. Thanks.
Toshiba Satellite Notebook Windows XP Pro

This is getting more and more irritating to me, the more I read about it.
I just bought the new Yamaha docking jack for the input to my brand new current technology RVX3800 receiver. This will play the iPhone but not charge, just like all the other recently purchased units, like my $350 Griffin Evolve wireless unit.
If the plug fits, we can't quit... Sorry a poor pun intended.
If the plug fits the bottom of the iPhone, it must have all the same wiring other than the old firewire points are not used. How hard would it have been to make the change as they did on the new iPods and the iPhone to the USB charging, but crossover the old non used points to the inboard USB points????
This would have allow dual compatibility at least until maybe the next generation of "i" stuff. Why even keep the same plug if the function is not doing what we need?
I have a USB power adapter at work and it has the PC plug that plugs into the white 120v adapter on the end and it does not work either.
The whole idea of the "i" family is to be compatible with one another throughout the product line. This is truly a VERY BIG mistake made by Apple.
I'm sorry for ranting on and on about this but it's really got me worked up.
Thanks for all the great input on this issue, I appreciate it very much.

My computer has worked fine since I bought it. Now it will not sync with my iphone for some reason and gives me an error message saying 42404 is missing in itunes

My computer has worked well since I bought it new. All of a sudden it will not recognize my i-phone to snyc. I receive an error message saying that -42404 is missing from i tunes and it then crashes....help please

You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:

It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than just "G4" will get you help faster.

My Ipad 2 will not synch with I tunes after I downloaded the latest Itunes software. I get the error message OxE8000065? Any ideas?

My Ipad 2 will no longer synch with ITunes after I updated to the latest ITunes software. It says error OxE8000065. Does not recognize this IPod.I have rebooted both Ipad and PC and uninstalled /reinstalled Itunes software. Same problem.

The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version. You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes. Or you can adapt to the new look.

My Reminders app will not open. When I try to open it, quits and gives me an error message: "Reminders quit unexpectedly while using the CalDAV plug-in." My Reminders is synced with my iPod touch, and it is fine on that. How do I fix it?

Also, the Calendar is loading very very slowly, and sometimes it quits and gives me the same error message as above.

The problem has been fixed with the most recent OS X software update.

Using the IPOD with VISTA

I have just purchased a new sony vaio, running vista. My older desktop is running xp. I had my IPOD and iTunes working just fine with this existing desktop. I just installed iTunes on the new laptop, and now want to use the iPod with this laptop. I attached it and attempted to sync, that the iPod is using an existing library, and wants to delete it and then use the new library. However, since the old library is on the old PC, it is not able to do this. It then says sync is complete, but none of my music is found on the new laptop. HELP.....

When you connected the iPod to your new laptop with the empty iTunes did you press "Erase and Sync"? This syncing does not transfer content from the iPod to iTunes, it transfers from iTunes to the iPod. If you linked to an empty iTunes it will have erased the original contents of your iPod and with nothing to sync will have left it blank.
Connect your iPod back to your desktop computer and it will sync the existing library back onto it again. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Using 2 iPods with one iTunes account.

I share a computer with someone who also has a iPod and we have one version of iTunes downloaded. Although we have seperate user names iTunes seems to autosync what she's put in the library to my iPod and vise-versa. We would love to share some of the files that we pay for, but we certainly don't want to share everything. Is the best option for us to just sync our files manuelly instead of auto-syncing?
Thanks

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Using Multiple Ipods with 1 PC

What do I need to do so that my daughter can also maintain a plat list on my PC.
I have my play list for my ipod. She would like to have her own play list/ipod set up on my pc as well.
Thanks,
Tom

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See this...
Using Multiple iPods With One Computer
Also, you can have many different playlists set up in one iTunes library and have iPods just sync from one playlist.
I am assuming you want two different libraries?
Either way, see the link for more information.

Using an iPod with Windows Me

As far as I know, you can't use iTunes with Windows Me. I knew that when I bought my iPod, but I figured surely I'd be able to use it without iTunes--with a different program, maybe, like Winamp. Apparently not: my computer wouldn't recognize the iPod as anything but a removable drive, which was fine, except I couldn't play anything on it that way. Tried the installation software that came with the iPod and was told it wouldn't work on anything but a Windows 2000 or XP either.
So then I thought, hey, I've got a semi-functioning Mac OS X at work; I'll just use that to put everything on my iPod, even if I can't use iTunes at home. Great, except it doesn't have the right version of iTunes, won't go online to upgrade, and demands a password to install from the CD. Again using it as an external hard drive, I stick something on it anyway and try to bring it home, whereupon my Windows Me tells me that the iPod needs to be formatted.
This is all making me crazy, because I paid good money for that iPod and I'd really love to, you know, use it. Is there any possible way I can use this iPod with Windows Me, with or without iTunes? Some kind of plug-in I can download, maybe?
Windows ME

groans
I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

I have an order iPod classic (2007). I also have a Boise docking station. I can use the ipod with earphones

I have an order iPod classic (2007). I also have a Boise docking station. I can use the ipod with earphones or the computer however there is no sound when placed on the docking station. I don't believe it is the docking station as it is never moved, only I use it (older and single). Could it be a setting? Help

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

Using a ipod with two different computers...

I just bought a new laptop and had to download itunes again but when i hook up my ipod it tells me that that ipod is already synced with another computer (my main desktop comp.). Is there a way to use my ipod with two different computers, or can you just use one computer at a time?
thanks!

You can use more than one computer, but you'll have to load your iPod MANUALLY if you do, otherwise it will keep erasing things to match the library it's hooked up to.
