  • How do i use ipod in car with aux cable

    Im trying to use my ipod touch 4 in the car with an aux cable and its not working, any suggestions?

    Doesthe car's AUX input work  with oter devices?

    If headphones work then if the car's plug is fully inserted into the iPod, that is all you have to do with the iPod.

  • Using iPod in car...suggested speakers?

    No tape machine, city usage so FM doesn't work. Would like to use the speakers in two different cars. Have the JBL round speaker...but the iPod sort of bounces loose constantly unless the road is perfectly straight. Any suggestion of a portable speaker that has the iPod lay flat so we can enjoy our books / music without interruption?
    Long summer trips ahead...
    Thanks.

    Connect it to your car stereo.
    Most speaker systems/docks are for desktop use.
    If you have an Auxiliary input (3.5mm jack) use that.
    If not, get an adapter for your car stereo.

  • Use IPod in Car

    Can I play audio books and if so can I stop in the middle of the book and listen to another book and when I go to the first book I would not have to start listen from the beginning. Notes that I access the device via the car consol.

  • Using Ipod with car radio

    I have tuned my wireless adaptor with my car radio but it does not seem to register it. Can anyone tell me how to do this successfully?

    Your radio has to be on the same station as your wireless adaptor. If they are on the same station, try a different one. The ones that work best for me are the ones that are usually just static, like the 88s on FM Radio. If none of this works then something is probably wrong. Check your connections and battery also. There may be a software you need to install on your iPod.
    Hope that helps!

  • What are the best devices to use in my car to listen to music on my 3rd gen iPod Nano?

    What are the best devices on the market today to use in my car to listen to music on my 3rd Gen iPod nano?  I currently use the Monster device that plugs into the electrical adapter (former cigarrette lighter!) in the car.  It's a pain in the neck to manually search for unused FM stations on a long trip. I want something that automatically searches for unsused FM stations or, better yet, that will allow me to somehow connect the iPod into the CD player or directly to the radio itself.  I have a 2004 Toyota Highlander.
    Any suggestions for quality after-market products from the Forum?

    If you have files with the .m4v or .m4a extension its better to change them to .mp4. The M4 extensions will sometimes download in the browser instead of playing.
    A usefull free app for file conversion is Miro...
    http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Website-Movie-Video/Easy-Movie-Player.html
    It can quickly convert to all the formats you need to load for html5 playback: MP4, OGG, WebM
    If you include these three, fallback to flash will only be required for Internet Explorer V 8 and older. V 9 is supposed to support html5 but I haven't actually seen any proof of this.
    Players like flowplayer and JWLongtail are convenient because the control bar icon be customized. This lets you get away from the nasty looking QT control bar.

  • Ipod to car with AUX port using dock or HP jack is quiet

    hi all,
    ive got an aux connector in my car and connecting it to the ipod headphone port OR using the dock line out gives very quiet sound, i end up having the car hifi very loud.
    id rather not use volume adjust in itunes to raise the file volumes as its fine to use out the car as it is.
    do the car adaptor kits have amplifiers to get round this or am i looking at an expensive way to mount and charge the ipod but still get quiet sound?
    cheers! Ads

    Bozz,
    Are you certain about the volume using the dock connection? I currently have a 3.5 cable going from my headphone jack into the aux in my stereo. I have maxed the volume on my ipod, but I find that the sound is not as good as when I have the volume at 1/2 on my ipod. I don't want to spend the money on a dock connector if I can't get good volume.

  • Best way to use iPod in the car?

    Is there any consensus on the best way to use your iPod in the car? I have used the Belkin Car Kit with the cassette tape for over a year with my 20GB iPod and I really like it. It keeps my iPod charged and the sound quality is really pretty good I think. Now I have gotten a 30GB video iPod for my wife and want to find out what people feel is the best product for car use before I start buying her any accessories.
    Thanks.

    I concur with T-squared. The Kensington 33185 is simple to use and the sound quality has been excellent. I bought it just last Friday and it has seen me through numerous holiday roadtrips over the past week. It charges and has three presets; I can recommend 89.7 or 106.5 FM when you're in the Philadelphia/Princeton area. :->

  • Can I use my iPod Touch car charger on my iPad 2?

    I have an iPod Touch and have a car charger for it. I just purchased a new iPad 2, and want to know if I can use the same car charger for it? If not, what technical specs should I look for when buying a new charger?

    Yes you can use it, BUT, it will charge much slower than the 10W wall charger.

  • Calling all iPod Classic owner who wants to use iPod Camera Connector

    Dear All Honoured iPod Classic users a.k.a Photo Enthusiats,
    Good day. I have recently bought an iPod Classic and iPod Camera Connector. As many of us may be into photography. I believe you may agree with me, it is more expensive to buy CF Card especially when you travelling on holiday or assignment. Moreover 1x 8GB CF card is never enough.
    It is troublesome to bring your laptop together when you are travelling. So the best option to transfer all your photos from the camera is to use an iPod Classis and Camera Connector. This helps you to continue shooting without worrying running out of CF card for your next day shooting.
    Currently iPod Classic has firmware v1.0.3 but iPod Camera Connector only works for iPod v.1.1 and above. So, in conclusion ... i urge every member here to send in their feedback to Apple ... logon to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html , so that Apple will act on it sooner rather than we play wait and see game.
    So, logon today and send in your feedback. Who knows, tomorrow we will have the iPod Classic firmware updates that allow us to use iPod Camera Connector and this will solve our problem and save our money in CF card.
    Cheers! Happy New Year.

    Hi Josh,
    Interesting web site. I holiday in the UK (my passport ran out in '91 and I haven't felt the need to replace it yet) and off to Shropshire in September.
    Lovely, the UK is actually a surprisingly excellent place to retreat to, despite the occasional weather issues.

It is a little too large to be portable but it will fit in the car to be taken to our cottage holidays and has an amazing range of features and a sub woofer in the base as you can see from the review.
    Yes, if you have the money, the B&W is great, but as I said, it's only a speaker.

    The Zeppelin may be an excellent speaker but being that much more expensive and also nothing more than a speaker I am still with the Avanti at this point - we often like to listen to the local radio stations when away. I will look at the Chronos though and other PURE products.
    All of the PURE products are excellent, good luck finding one to suit your needs!

  • Using ipod and itunes again

    just recently i had to deleat every thing from my computer and restore it to how it was brand new, during this process of this my itunes was deleated and i had to re download it and now when i try to put music on my ipod it says i am only alowed to use one computer to get music from. What do i do?? thanks for any help

    The message you are getting is that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc.
    If your iTunes is empty or doesn't have all the songs that were originally on your iPod you just need to take care connecting back to your computer. Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    iGadget Windows Only
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    TuneJack Windows Only
    CopyPod Windows Only
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
    You will also have to reauthorise your computer to play your purchases: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Clicking noise when using bluetooth in car.

    HI, just purchased a new Buick with bluetooth system, added my Iphone and now when in the car callers hear a clicking sound when in conversation. Did not do when I was using the phone in older car. Any suggestions?, thx Steve

    Keeping the iPhone on charger all the time doesn't do it any harm - if the battery doesn't need to be charged, the iPhone doesn't charge it. Some argue that car electrical systems aren't as clean as home electrical systems are and that it is dangerous to use a car charger on electronic devices. That may be true several iPods and cars later I see no evidence of that - I've always replaced iPods for improved specs not because they stopped working.

  • IPod In Car Kit

    Hi, Can anyone help me. I am wanting to buy the "In car kit" for my ipod. But am I being a little thick? It is difficult to get an understanding of how this works. Do you have to have a cassette player stereo? As I have a CD player. Does anyone know it will still work? I am either missing something quite fundamental or it won't work with CD players. Please Please help me. Sarah

    Sarah,
    If it comes with a cassette adapter and you do not have a cassette player in the car, you cannot use that piece of equipment.

  • Ipod in car not letting me get to playlists?

    ipod in car not letting me get to playlists?

    If you cannot get the iPad to respond in any other way, you may need to restore the device.
    Connect the iPad to your PC and launch iTunes. Select the device on the left side and then click on the Restore button in the summary pane of iTunes.
    But Read this about restoring your iPad before you proceed.

    If that will not work, you may need to use recovery mode. Read about that here.

  • Why should i use Ipod

    Hey guys,
    i want to know why should i want use ipod .. i am having a Philips Mp3 Player .. Whats the Difference between an ordinary mp3 player and ipod .. If the Question looks like silly am sorry .. i want to knowthe salient features of ipod comparing to other Mp3 players!

    The iPod has what some people call an "ecosystem." That means there are a lot of companies creating and selling thousands of accessories that work with iPods. It means that car companies are building iPod connectivity into cars. It means the iPod becomes more than an "ordinary MP3 player," and such accessories and options are not available for players that are not iPods.
    You also have iTunes. The iTunes software (even without the Store) is the best program for managing and playing your digital music collection on your computer (Mac or PC), and integrates using an iPod as part of the experience. If you choose to use the optional Store, you can buy media to play on the computer or on your iPod, from the world largest and most diverse collection (including free downloads and podcasts).
    All iPod's except for the shuffle can now play video. I don't know if your "Philips Mp3 Player" is a +media player+ or just an MP3 Player. The best iPod is obviously the iPod touch; it's basically a tiny touch-controlled computer with WiFi and a browser. Doing a comparison between the iPod touch and an MP3 Player would be like comparing a typewriter to a computer.
    If you are happy with your player and what it does, an iPod probably won't do those things any better. It's the combination of iPod, iTunes, and third-party accessories/options that makes using an iPod "better."
