USB in a new car

I just bought a Honda Crosstour, which is one of the new cars that have a USB jack that can read and play music off of my iphone.
I'm looking for a good holder/cradle solution so I can just slide my iphone in and out of it when I get in or out of the car. I'm worried about excessive connecting/disconnecting of the regular sync cable and wear and tear on the connectors on the phone.
I had a great griffin tuneflex cradle that was perfect in my old car, but the radio won't read the iphone when I plug the sync cable into the bottom of the griffin.
Any suggestions for products?

Hard to say for sure. However, some stereo systems do require a special cable. I would check with the car dealer or manufacturer for the best answer.

I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my car from my new iPod Classic. Has anyone encountered this problem?

I getting no sound out of the USB connection in my cars from my new iPod classic. The song name artist display on the console in the car but no audio. This is happening on 2 cars - Nissan Rogue and Acura TL. My older iPod classic played fine in these cars. Has anyone encountered this issue?

I have a similar problem with a 160 gb Classic, about 5 years old - if I move the plug one channel may be heard and tehn the other. The interface works but not the sound. Different ipods eg nano work perfectly.
The two cars I have are an Audi and a BMW and both have manufacturer connectors

When using USB input iPod classic won't read in new car

Just bought a new car with a factory iPod ready stereo system. When using the USB input iPod Classic won't read but son's iPod touch does. Anyway I can fix this? I know my Classic works fine as I was using it in my other car and it works in my wife's car. Is the car just too new therefore making my Classic incompatible and soon to be obsolete?

the best option is to contact the car manufacturer or look at the manual to make sure it supports your ipod verision. if it is a custom radio then look then contact the manufacturer or look at the manual for same thing. you can try a reset with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.

My ipod nano doesn't work in my new car using the usb

my ipod nano won't play music in my new car using the usb. It works fine with earphones, and music displays in car but won't play?

And I have one more question, when I connect my iPod,
iTunes turns on automatically and the iPod is seen,
but it's not seen in "My Computer". Is that ok?
Since you have the iPod set at auto sync the ipod would not show in "My Computer" (someone correct me if I am wrong). If you were able to successfully switch it to manual it would show as it would be in disk mode. So I would say that this is ok.
I have done a search for the error -50 you keep getting and can't find anything. At this point I would suggest contacting Apple support to see if they can give you some insight on this error. One thing though...have you tried uninstalling iTunes from your computer completely and then re-installing it to make sure it's not an issue with your current copy of iTunes? Also, have you tried to go through the 5 R's?
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If you have not gone through the 5 R's, please try that first and see if it helps. If not, then try un-installing and then re-installing iTunes. If that does not work, then it would probably be beneficial to call Apple Support.

Got a new car and when I plug in my older shuffle it says to check firmware. How do you update the firmware?

Got a new car and when i plug in my older shuffle it ask me to check the firmware. What do I need to do?

It's possible that your new car audio system is not compatible with your older shuffle, or it may not be compatible with shuffles, period. You should consult the documentation for the car audio system (or its tech support) to check the list of compatible devices.
There is no firmware upgrade for an old shuffle with will make it work, if the car audio system does not support the device.
NOTE: As an alternative, you can buy an inexpensive USB flash drive. Maybe you already have one. Load it with your favorite songs. Here's one that barely sticks out of the USB port

with several times the storage capacity of a shuffle. No dangling cable and more resistant to extreme heat/cold, and you can leave it connected to your car audio system.

How can I create a new Care Plan with one or more care tasks

Hello,
I'm working on a Dutch website in the HealthVault Environment. I got difficulties in creating and updating a careplan with care tasks. Most likely it's due to lack of knowledge...
Following code works fine:
CarePlan plan = new CarePlan();
plan.Name = "test";
this.PersonInfo.SelectedRecord.NewItem(plan);
It creates a plan called [test]. But I don't know how to create a plan with one or more tasks in it: the tasks property is read only.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.health.itemtypes.careplan.tasks.aspx
Half a year ago I was able to add an example of a careplan, which was a feature of the dev tools, but for some reason that's not possible anymore.
https://developer.healthvault.com/DataTypes/Overview?TypeId=415c95e0-0533-4d9c-ac73-91dc5031186c
So my question is, how can I add a new care plan with a task like the example from the HealthVault dev tools:
<tasks>
<task>
<name>
<text>Run 100 miles</text>
</name>
<description>Run 100 miles in 6 months</description>

</task>
</tasks>
Any help is welcome

Hi Wilfred,
Have you tried this?
CarePlan plan = new CarePlan();
plan.Name = "test";
plan.Tasks.Add(someTask)
If you have a task list already, you would need to enumerate through it and add one by one...
foreach (var task in existingList)
plan.Tasks.Add(task)

HT1692 How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

How do I get my old contacts that were last synced on my ITunes account through my laptop (USB) to my new iPad ? I no longer have a laptop just my iPad mini.

So the contacts were synced to the computer you no longer have? You could use a free app like MCBackup and email the contacts from the ipad to yourself and open the email on your phone and then import the contacts from the email to the phone

I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider? How is is at all relevant to Apple?? In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?

iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses.

New Cars with Line-in in

For those of us wanting to play our various players in the car, it appears some of the car makers are catching on and making a standard "line-in" input in their new models. I just got something in the mail from Chevrolet about the Impala and all their 2006 models come with an "iPod input", which is just a mini-jack on the front of the stereo. I guess we have to get used to our Zens, etc. being called "iPods" by others, but I am encouraged that the car people are paying attention to this. If Chevy is doing it, then I'm sure it will catch on all over pretty soon. I still have a cassette player in my current car, but they are harder to find in new cars now and I just don't like those FM transmitter things.

There's a way to get a line-in input in many cars that weren't built with it.
For many models, you can buy adapters that plug into the back of your car stereo's head unit (the thing in the dashboard), and have a standard headphone jack on the other end to plug into your mp3 player. In my car, the adapter makes the stereo think my MuVo2 is a CD changer.
It's really easy to use, and the sound quality is just like listening to a CD. The day I installed my adapter, I literally threw out my FM transmitter, which never worked well, even in rural areas with few or no FM stations. I've used the adapter for six months or so with absolutely no problems.
I don't know the rules about posting Web sites or brand names on this forum, so I won't. But you can do a Web search for auxiliary input adaptor. There are several brands out there. It varies depending on the model car, but prices seem to hover in the $60 to $70 range.
