Using iPod Touch remotely while playing back through home stereo.

Hey, I'm not sure if this is possible but I'm interested in knowing if there is a set of accessories I can buy that will allow me to do this:
I want to play music through my home stereo. I want to use the iPod Touch to select which music is played, and I don't want to have to have the Touch plugged into anything.
The music doesn't necessarily need to be played from the Touch, it can be played from my computer instead, the Touch would just need to be able to control and browse my iTunes in this case. Or alternatively the Touch could stream music to some sort of station connected to the stereo.
Is this possible right now or do I need to wait for a new product to allow me to do this.
Lets say price is no concern right now, is there anything out there that would allow me to do this?
Thanks

there is a web application currently that would allow the touch to remotly control ur itunes on ur computer i have not tried it....but it seems like it would be what u are interest in.....
Here is the link to one..

  • Ipod Touch is not playing music through doc.

    Ipod Touch (3rd gen) is not playing music through doc.  No problem until yesterday.  It still works fine off doc but as of yesterday it will only either charge (most of the time) or play music (rare), Not both.  Also the message "accessory is not supported by ipod touch" periodically shows up on the ipod touch screen.
    My other daughters ipod touch (2nd gen) works on this doc as normal.  Also, both of these ipod touches still work on my 2nd daughters stereo doc normally.
    Both are on software 4.2.1

    Look into the dock connector on the problem iPod.  Look for dirt, debris, bent or broken connector and other abnormalities.  Compare with the working iPod.

  • IPod Touch freezes while playing music then goes to home screen. HELP!!

    I JUST got my 32gb iPod Touch last week, and it only started recently to do this. I will play songs from my playlist, it will go through about 4 songs, then right when it switches, the screen freezes, music stops, and it goes to the home screen. Does anyone know what is going on?? I read that some users had this problem when they had too many applications open, but all I am doing is playing music. Any help would be appreciated!

    I had the same trouble w/ my iPod Touch 16GIG Gen 1 & it seemed to be worse after upgrading the software/firmware to Version 2.1; to the point where I was arranging to get it back to The Apple Store before it was 30 days old. The trouble seems to be worse as I approached 14GIG's of filled memory. I mostly have audio, but a few movies are loaded also. But I couldn't view the album art from end to end & it would also freeze & go back to the home screen after about 5 seconds of audio from an audio track intermittently. It was frustrating.
    I used the HOME button on the top of the iPod to shut it down {holding it till the 'slide to power off' screen comes up & then doing the slide. Then using the HOME button to turn the iPod back on - seeing the cracked white apple when it reboots & starts back up. I haven't had any more trouble in iTunes. Maybe this reboot cleans up the memory of the iPod & a fresh reboot gives the OS a clean bill of health to look at the 14 GIGs of content that I've added in.
    Give the Home button a try & let us know.
    Best of Luck-

  • My iPod touch won't play music through the dock speakers

    The other day I went to plug my IPod touch into my dock to play some music, as i do every night. My dock seemed fine, my IPod started charging, but when i turned the music on it only played out of the IPod speakers, not out of the dock. i figured it was the dock that was broken, so i plugged my IPod into my backup dock and it did the exact same thing. The only way i can get my IPod to play music out of the dock is to plug it in through the headphone jack. My IPod still plays music out loud so i have no idea what's wrong.

    There is another thread entitled "brand new iPod touch 4th gen will not sit on dock of Sony Dream Machine" that mentions similar problems and claims to be resolved. Actually it is not. Some say that there is a plastic piece to bend but it is unspecified which one they are thinking of and which way to "bend" it. Besides, I am not sure any guaranty will work if one does this kind of work on the iPod. It would be preferable if someone from Apple would take responsibility and mention what has to be done or if there will be a recall of the items with a modified system.

  • Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store

    Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
    I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
    Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.

    Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.

  • Using Ipod touch while charging

    Is it safe to use ipod touch 4g while it is charging (not through computer).

    thanks . it really helped

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!

  • Can't use the camera function in my ipod touch 4s while updated to iOS 6.0

    I can't use the camera function in my ipod touch 4s while updated to iOS 6.0.
    There is all black screen when I turn on my camera. 
    I open the restriction setting already.
    thank you.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Using power adaptor charger while playing iPod

    I have a charger for my iPod Mini. I think it's called a "USB-based power adaptor." When I got it about a year ago it cost about $20. Uses a cable for the iPod into it and then plugs into a standard outlet.
    I am also able to run my iPod through one of my more high-end stereo systems. A great advantage, particularly for "home recording," to listen and get full stereo sound.
    The question is:
    Can I use the charger adaptor while the iPod is playing? Either through the stereo system or using the iPod just by itself?
    It would seem that should be no problem. Wouldn't it be the same principle as using an iPod "dock?"
    If I can do this, the nice thing would be that I could keep my iPod fully charged while playing. Either through the stereo system or playing just the iPod alone.
    Could any harm be done by doing this?
    Thanks in advance.

    In theory, it shouldn't do any harm. The reason I added the qualifier is that its possible that a non-Apple charger could in some way, not be quite up to spec and could behave oddly. Of course, Apple chargers can go bad, too. iPods will stop accepting a charger once they are fully charged. I have used chargers while my iPod has been connected to speakers with no difficulty and no harm to the iPod.

  • I bought a used ipod touch. The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and now EVERYTHING is gone. No icons. Nothing.  How do I get it back?

    I bought a used ipod touch.  The music on it was not my taste.  I found a delete feature and EVERYTHING is gone.  How do I get the icons back and start over?

    If you did not yet connect with iTunes, you can place any music from your library back into your iPod from the computer. When set to automatically manage usic and videos, whatever iTunes finds changed in your music app will be reset to what is on your computer iTunes library.

    I would try in oreder:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Used ipod touch, trying to make icloud account but free accounts already taken

    About a year ago i had bought a used ipod touch from another user.  upon receiving this i did not know of the icloud accounts already used up. is there any way i could still make an account? or get rid of existing ones some how? i'd appreciate any help i can get!

    Hey VPKR, Nice of you to try, but not really. Apple will do nothing without a count order and it's not likely you are doing to get one. The only way you can find out information that may tell you who the owner is, would require the password-- it's a "Catch 22." Turn the iPod over to the police, give then all the information you have about the person that sold it to you, and go from there. If bought online, through a web site like eBay, etc. contact the site about a possible fraudulent sale, you may some recourse to either get your money back and the web site can block this person from trying this again. Follow the instructions the web site gives you about what to do with the iPod. They may tell you send back to them or give it to the police. If you used a check or credit card, call your bank or card company and put out a stop payment, then turn this iPod over to the police. Hope this helps. Thanks for being an honest person. Cheers.
