Using iHome with iPod 5G

When I press the iPod button on my iHome, my iPod automatically defaults to Songs, and begins playing all. Can I change the default somehow on my iPod?
Thanks!
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

it could be one of two things, either the ipod sw is corrupt which means a simple restore will fix it (to get restore instructions go here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983 ) or there is something wrong with the hardware in which case you would have to service it (depot.info.apple.com)

Using headset with ipod touch and Skype

Trying to use headset with jack adapter on ipod touch using skype. Audio out is fine but mic doesn't seem to work. Will this work, or will I have to switch to the Apple earbuds with mic?

I have successfully tested Skype using a $20 pair of GE ear buds with microphone. It used the correct iPod Touch earphone/microphone jack.
I've also used this with voice recorder software, and so has my wife.

Using ITunes with Ipod Mini

My wife and I both have Ipod Mini's using separate Music Libraries(like it that way) . The problem is if she's logged in and iTunes is open when I switch users and log in and try to use iTunes I get a message. It saids something along the lines of iTunes is being used by another user and unable to open. When I click ok iTunes goes away. I have to have my wife logoff to use itunes with my profile. I would think under XP you can run iTunes separately.
Thanks for the help.

Fast user switching
You cannot use this with XP and iTunes. Disable it under start/control panel/user accounts/change the way users log on.

Using iHome with 2nd Generation iPod Touch

My iPod is being serviced right now so I can't check it now. I want to know if a 2nd generation iPod Touch will work through a iHome. I have tried listening to my iPod through a docking base attached to stereo but it only play through the iPod speakers. Will this happen with the iHome? I know that some people said that it will play though the external speakers if something isn't plugged into the headphones jack, will this happen with the iHome also?
Thanks,
dukegirl90

I don't mind if it doesn't charge but will it play through the iHome speakers or the iPod Touch internal speakers? A while ago I tried plugging my iPod into the docking base I have then plugging the docking base into the stereo with the auxilary cord I have and it would only play through the iPod Touch speakers. It would work fine if I had the charging usb cable hooked up to the wall adapter and the auxilary cord hooked up to the iPod headphones jack.
Will this happen with the iHome?

IHome with iPod touch compatibility

I'm thinking of getting an iHome but I was wondering if the alarm function still works and everything else.

I own two iHomes, older models, which I used with a really old iPod (the one with four buttons above the click wheel!). Recently, I bought an iPod Touch, and it works fine with my iHome clock radios. It plugs into the dock connector on top, and I can wake to music from my iPod Touch just fine. Every once in a while, if I plug it in and then hit the "iPod" button, I have to unplug the iPod Touch and then plug it in again, but it always works.
The only drawback with the iHome is that you cannot adjust the volume of the wake up alarm. Whether you wake to the radio or the alarm or the iPod it always comes on pretty loud. I wish I could turn it town a little, as it does not take that much to wake me. But if I turn on the iPod to "sleep" mode I can set the volume wherever I want, do to sleep to music, and it shuts off fine. In the morning, it wakes me to wherever the iPod left off, just at the default louder volume setting.
Hope this helps! I love having an iHome in the bedroom, and another in the kitchen. I use them both all the time.

Using Video with iPod Classic 80GB

Hello All,
I am James I am a new user with the iPod, I have a Classic Black Colour, 80GB. So far I use it for muisic, Photos and wanted to watch movies. Does it support movies at all? I put some video clips in mp4 format, itunes converted to a suitable format but then When I watched it, I could only hear it with a picture displayed and no movie loading. Is this normal? or am I doing something wrong?
Another thing is that I don't have a proper user manual? Do you know where I can download one?
regards
James

On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.
Here's the PDF for the iPod Classic user guide.

Using iMessage with iPods/iPads and SMS with iPhones

I prefer using SMSs to text other people with iPhones but I still want to use iMessage to chat with people who own an iPad and an iPod. What do I do? I don't want to desactivate iMessage.

The only way I know to do what you want is to disable/enable your iMessage account as needed.
Of course, every time you disable and then re-enable iMessage in message settings, you may have a "pause" while it re-activates your iMessage account.
Out of curiosity, why do you even want to do this? The integration of iMessage is intended to be seemless - if the devices at each end can use, it will be used, but if not a regular SMS is sent. You can force it as you wish, but it will be a pain in the rear to do, if you ask me.

How to use lyrics with iPod

Hello,
I was wondering if I can have lyrics with the music I have on my iPod, in particular, the .lrc files, so I can see the lyrics as the artist is singing the song? I would appreciate any and all comments on this topic. Is there an app I can use with the iPod? Can I do it with my iPhone 4 as well?
Thank You.
David

Put your headset in discovery mode (per the manufacturer's instructions), then go to Settings -> General -> Bluetooth and turn bluetooth on. When your headset appears, tap the "Not Paired" and if the iPod presents a display to enter to pairing code, type the code (typically 0000).
The iPod remains "discoverable" until you go to another page.
See page 31 in the Users Guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.0_UserGuide.pdf

Using nano with iPod dock -- no sound

I've seen lots of mentions that the dock connector on the nano is "standard". So I plugged the nano into my older iPod dock at home (came with my 40GB monochrome iPod). Power charging works, but with the nano plugged in I get no sound through the line out port on the dock. The 40GB iPod sound works fine through the same dock.
Is this expected or do I have a defective nano? Thanks in advance.

Eric,
I noticed an odd behavior trying to use my nano with my friend's docking station the other day. I would get no sound out of the dock unless I reset the nano. In playing around with it, it seemed that plugging in my headphones caused the audio out through the dock connector to stop. lf I simply reset the nano before connecting to the dock (after unplugging the headphones), then the audio out through the dock worked fine.
It might just be something funky with my Sony headphones, but I didn't have my Apple buds with me to try.

Using Airtunes with ipod touch

As iPod touch has wi-fi, is it possible to connect to airtunes and use it (connected to speakers) as external speakers in the same way you can do this from a mac? Ta.

I am having problems with an older ipod running 1.1.2 firmware trying to use earbuds with volume controls made for ipod. any suggestions?

I am problems with an older Ipod classic running 1.1.2pc using earbuds with Ipod inline remote. The earbuds work fine with my new Ipod but not the older one. Any suggestions?

1) This is because of software version 1.1. See this
thread for some options as to how to go back to 1.0,
which will correct the problem...

2) This tends to happen after videos. Give the iPod a
minute or two to readjust. It should now be more
accurate.
3) This?
iPod shows a folder icon with exclamation
point
4) Restore the iPod
5) Try these...
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo and Will Not Start
Up
iPod Only Shows An Apple Logo
I think 3,4, and 5 are related. Try the options I
posted for each one.

I just noticed that one of the restore methods you posted was to put it into Disk Mode First rather than just use the resstore straight off, I Have tried that and seems to have solved the problem, If it has thank you. previously I have only tried just restoring it skipping this extra step. Hope my iPod stays healthy, if it doesnt its a warrenty job me thinks any way thanks again

Adapter "iSoniTalk" compatible with ipod touch 3g?

adapter "iSoniTalk" is compatible with the ipod touch 3g? I can use for example, calls on skype? therefore as a common microphone for ipod touch, just like a headset in the box of the ipod touch? Sorry in advance for my poor English, but I am Italian. I will buy the "Beats Studio By Dr.Dre" and in the box there is an adapter, the "iSoniTalk". I repeat, can I use it with iPod Touch 3g?

Well, dont know, if they have updated the description, or i just wasnt paying attention (probably the second), but i think this afternoon this app said that: https://itunes.apple.com/hu/app/temple-hydration-food-fitness/id661535754?mt=8
Anyway, now it just says iPod Touch, which in this case probably means 4th and 5th gen.
I think ive seen it in other apps describtion as well, and will post link next time, but now i just feel stupid
Thanks for the fast reply!

I have an iphone 4 that i use as an iPod. it is not connected to a telephone company. I updated to ios7 and now it won't sync with my computer

I have an iphone 4 that I use as an iPod. It is not connected to a wireless network. I have updated to the IOS 7 and now it won't sync with my computer. Does anyone know what could possibly be the problem?

Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.
Pictures taken with the device are designed to regularly be copied off the device to a computer as would be done with any digital camera.
If you have failed to use the device as designed it may be too late to recovery anything.
Is the device regularly backed up to a computer via iTunes? If so, the most recent backup (when restored to a replacement iOS device) should contain all contacts and pictures as of when the backup was created.

How do I use iTunes with new iPod

I have my own video iPod, and use iTunes without a problem.
However, I bought a refurbished iPod for a relative, and am now trying to download music onto this new iPod. When I go into my iTunes with the new iPod connected to my computer, I can't get the new iPod to show up on the task bar -- so I can't download music onto it.
Do I have to create a separate account for this new iPod, or somehow download iTunes again for this new iPod in order to get music onto it???
Thanks.

Using a second iPod is normally just a question of connecting it to your computer choosing how you want to update it and using your existing iTunes. You don't need a separate Windows account unless two users want to use the one computer and maintain separate libraries. You don't need two instances of iTunes for separate accounts. Have you had look at either of these troubleshooting pages?
