Using ipod 160g with mercedes universal media interface

Hello I have an iPod classic 160G - when using it with the mercedes Universal Media Interface - I see all the functions but none of the songs are playing - I see the title, name, duration of the song but it does not play nor the cursor is moving.
Can anybody help.... Thanks

It happen to me also some years back.
Can you check on the iPod, menu that the shuffle is off, before you connect it to the Mercedes UMI cable.
normally I check to make sure that the iPod can play some song completely, before connecting it to the UMI.
Another issue is that the iPod will go back on shuffle song mode, whenever I start my Mercedes engine, with the UMI connected. Quite irritating, as both Mercedes dealer and Apple dealer says it is not their problem.
In my country, Mercedes dealer only maintain the car and not accessories.
Have a nice day.

  • My iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1. does not work with the mercedes benz media interface

    I just installed the IOS 5.1.1 on my iphone 4 but it doesn´t work anymore with the Mercedes Benz (2010) media interface, some help!

    Resetting the Network Settings worked to fix my problem as others have suggested.   
    To help answer dinpa59, bechic, and others if needed you do the following:
    Select your SETTINGS icon. 
    Select GENERAL
    Scroll to the bottom and select RESET.
    Select RESET NETWORK SETTINGS. 
    This will completely erase your bluetooth setup as well as other WIFI network associatiotions.  These will all need to be re-paired and passwords entered for WIFI again once this is done.
    THIS SHOULD FIX BLUETOOTH ISSUE.
    Hope that helps.

  • Using iPod Mini with Mac and PC

    Has anyone had any experience switching back and forth between a Mac and a PC with the iPod? I've only used a Mac with my iPod Mini, but I will be taking a business trip and will be taking my PC laptop. I'd like to be able to recharge the iPod battery and access the playlists located on the PC while traveling, but when the iPod was connected to the laptop, I got a message stating that the iPod would need to be reformatted--something I hadn't thought about before. I didn't reformat it, because I wanted to check to see if anyone had any experiences with problems due to back and forth reformatting. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks so much for the info! I wasn't aware of that.

  • Using iPod Shuffle with TWO computers

    I have two laptops (one Powerbook and one iBook) and would like to use my iPod Shuffle with both computers, downloading music from the iTunes of each computer. Is that possible or will it always make me choose which iTunes I am linked to and delete all the music from the other one?

    You can set your iPod shuffle up to mount as a disk on the desktop, and copy data files that can be transported from one computer to another. You aren't going to be able to use the shuffle to sync music from one iTunes account and another, however. It was only designed to work with one computer/one iTunes at a time.

  • Using iPod Classic with Real Player

    I recently received an 80GB iPod Classic. This is my first portable media player. I have purchased music from the Real Store using RealPlayer. This music is rights protected, and I do have the proper rights to use the downloads. In Real Player, these music downloads come with a .rax suffix, instead of .mp3. Can anyone tell me how to set up my system to play my Real Store purchases on my new iPod? Everything I've read leads me to believe it can be done, but I've tried the recommendations on the Real Support site, to no avail. I would really appreciate any insight.

    Really? My general impression is that all copy protection is proprietry and, as far as the end user is concerned, is just a bad thing. iTunes can't read WMA protected content, Window Media Player can't read iTunes protected content. RealMedia just extentds the compatability headache. Media Players will generally cope with only one form of protected content.
    I don't have any practial experience with the Real protected format, but the usual workaround for this is to burn your protected content out to CD, assuming you have the necessary rights, then import in an unprotected format. There will be a small loss of quality due to the re-encoding but this should be minimal. There are also programs that can speed up this process for some formats by virtualising the CD and automating the intermediate stages.

  • Using iPod 160GB with Alpine HeadUnit

    Does anyone have any experience with an Alpine FullSpeed headunit and the iPod 160GB ?
    I'm planning to buy an iPod, to connect to my CDA-9887 using the FullSpeed interface.
    Now I'm wondering if the response time is good / search is fast or slow / possible setbacks / advantages / fast or slow track selection / etc ...
    Anyone experience that they want to share ?

    Alpine support says, basically, live with it. I noticed in a review off the Crutchfield Web site that someone else was having the same issue. Actually, what Alpine CS said made sense. The way the unit is set up by default is to repeat the playlist/album that you are listening to in the car (much like many single-disc CD players start replaying the CD when they get to the end). So, when you disconnect the iPod from the hi-speed cable, it's set to replay all. It's really not been much of a problem for me. If I forget to switch it off after removing the iPod from my car, the worse that happens is that it replays whatever playlist/album I listen to the next time I use the iPod outside the car. And, as you and I both agree, it's great save for this one quirk.

  • Using iPod photo with a new USB 2.0... is not working

    I'm new to the forum, so I hope I posted in the right category.
    I have a Toshiba Tecra 8200, with Windows XP. I used to have Usb 1.0 I believe, or 1.1, and well, my iPod was running quite slow. I used to connect it to my other computer which has built-in USB 2.0, and it worked perfectly in my laptop and the other Sony Vaio. I bought a slot card that added an extra Fire Wire slot, and two USB 2.0 slots. I connect my iPod to the USB 2.0 slots, and what I get is just the 'Do not disconnect screen' for a while, and before it used to give me an 'OK to disconnect screen', but now it just jumps right on to the regular Menu, Photos, Extras, Etc. iPod interface. My computer recognizes it as a massive storage device, even in that screen or whichever screen it is on, but iTunes doesn't. I just installed the newest version of iTunes.
    I tried everything on the help articles here at apple.com/support, I enabled all of my USB ports so that they don't turn off when not used, I went to device manager and went to the iPod properties and disabled the option that said 'Make device easy to plug off' or something similar, and yet nothing happens.
    I hope you can help me, because this is just driving me crazy, I've been for days trying to connect it and I can't, I just can through my old USB 1.0 and it's of no use.
    -Alex

    I just don't know what to do. I disabled the high speed interfaces, like the article said. I restarted the computer, and connected the iPod. It wasn't even recognized. I re-enabled the high-speed interfaces, and restarted the computer. I connected the iPod, and the same thing happened: It says 'Do not disconnect' for a very short while (A few seconds) and then the Menu Photos Etc. flashes then it says Ok To Disconnect and a checkmark. I tried to safely remove hardware from windows and when I selected Massive storage device E: from the list, it said 'Can't eject Apple USB Device, try again later' (Something like that, it was in spanish). So the computer recognizes it's an iPod, but in My PC it shows up as a massive storage device, not like 'Alex's iPod' when connected to USB 1.0.
    I really need help with this. I don't know if I can afford to buy a Fire Wire cable and probably then it wouldn't be recognized either.

  • Is there any way to use iPod touch with Win2000/SP4?

    Got an iPod touch for christmas... very cool. It doesn't synch with my computer... not so cool.
    The information I've found - compatibility chart at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60971 - suggests that I'm SOL with Win2000 - it appears that I can't upgrade past iTunes 7.3 whereas 7.4 seems to be required for the Touch. Are there any hacks our ways around this, or am I just going to have to suck it up...? I don't like using sketchy pirated OS's but I'm not real excited about going out and buying a new OS either.

    There is no way for you to use iTunes with Win2K and the Touch. You can use 3rd party software, WinAmp, with a plug-in: http://www.winamp.com/ but this will not let you download upgrades and purchase 3rd party software for the Touch when it becomes available.

  • Satellite A210 - How to use muldimedia buttons with other than Media Player

    Hi,
    is it really not possible to use the Multimedia Buttons (Play, Pause, FF) on the top of my notebook for another application than the Windows Media Player?
    Is there any reason for this? I would like to control Winamp with this buttons.
    It seems quite sensless to restrict the acces to ONE application of HUNDREDS available, an then this one is the Media Player which is not used by the most people.
    I have the Satellite A210 Notbook.
    Can you tell my how to control my winamp with this buttons?
    Greetings from Robert

    Hello Robert
    Unfortunately there is no solution at the moment. If you check this forum you can find several very interesting threads about multimedia buttons and Winamp player. The fact is that some people have found solution for older notebook models running WXP. Winamp has offered plugin that must be installed.
    Now we have new situation. Your notebook runs newest Vista OS and I didnt find any plugin that can help. Problem is that your notebook is designed for Windows Vista and preinstalled OS contains all necessary plugins for running Windows media player as a part of preinstalled operating system.
    It is no kind of restriction. With preinstalled OS you can do what you want and if you can find a way to change it do this. You know very well that there are hundreds of different players on the market. You cannot expect that Toshiba take a time and create a plugins for all of them and satisfy the customers all over the world.

  • Using ipod nano with car stereo?

    sorry if this is a blonde question, but I have just got a new (to me) car which has a sony gtx cd300 stero in with an ipod connection. Ive bought a new ipod nano, plug it in, nano says "OK to disconnect". stereo display does not seem to recognise. Dont suppose anyone can advise me? Nano works fine on its own. stereo works fine as cd and tuner, just cant get it to work with the ipod? arrgh! Very very grateful for any help or advice. Kind regards Lindsay

    As long as your headset is 3.5 mm jack, you can use it with your ipod. Same goes with an auxilliary cable to your car if it is not bluetooth enabled.

  • Using iPod function with Bluetooth

    I recently bought a subaru impreza with a usb connector in which I plug in my iphone. The radio has Bluetooth so I can take calls through the stereo as well
    I issue is that when the cable is connected and the Bluetooth turned on, for some reason, I cannot access the iPod controls through the car dashboard, like looking through the iphone library and music folders. But when I turn off Bluetooth, The iPod function works again. But then I cannot take any calls through the car dashboard.
    I just don't know if there's a way to have my iphone plugged in to use the iPod functions, while at the same time to have Bluetooth turned on so I can take calls?
    I have no idea if I made sense.

    If I recall things properly, you can't play music with a bluetooth headset. You need a bluetooth device which supports A2DP or AVCRP. My Jabra BT620S supports both methods, so I can pair it with the cell phone using the headset mode and with the iPod using the A2DP mode to play stereo audio back. My cheap LG stereo headset is similar. My more expensive Motorola H12 only supports the headset mode so I can use it for the phone, but not for the iPod playback.

  • Using ipod shuffle with more than 1 computer

    Some of my music library is on my work machine and some of it is on my home machine. This has never been an issue with my ipod classic. I plug it into either machine and it connects no problem.
    Not so with my shuffle. After I loaded it up with songs on my home machine, I tried connecting it to my work machine and got an error message. What's up with that? Is there a way to get around it?
    Many thanks.

    it says:
