Using the Nano through a stereo

Not sure if this is the right forum, but we have a line to hook our nanos into a stereo and play back. We have a pretty good Panasonic rack system and the ipod playback is horrible. I tried it on a Aiwas system that is not as old as the other, and it sounds better. Is it best to use these types of cords, or use an FM modulator?

The previous poster was right; at 128k, the music is OK to listen in the car and other places where the environment or equipment won't show as many imperfections.
Apple makes a little docking station that has a power input and an output that you can run to your stereo. I use a Monster Y-cable to take the output from the Docking Station to my stereo, which works just great.
However, I've found I had to re-encode my music collection (all 1500 CD's) for different uses. For home use, I don't use Joint Stereo, and I record at a minimum of 192k. It takes more space to hold the music, but it's worth it!! Even my non-audiophile friends can hear imperfections when listening to the 128k versions of my music through my home stereo.
The 160k AAC encoding is a nice option, but I like using non-Apple proprietary encoding, and am thus forced to use the higher bitrate.
HTH!!

  • My Blu-Ray player has a USB input but it doesn't have an HDMI input. Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter? It would allow me to run the audio through my stereo. Thanks to all for your help.

    If you can find such a thing.  I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
    would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.     
    That would depend on this adapter.

  • HT1998 My iPAD can use the internet through my airport extreme, but the airport utility does not see it so I can't create a guest password.  What am I doing wrong?

    My iPAD can use the internet through my Airport Extreme, but the Airport Utility does not see the device so I can't set a guest password. 

    If your Mac is using the Lion operating system with recent updates, it will be necessary to download and install AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility 5.6
    Select the AirPort Extreme and click Manual Setup
    Click the Wireless tab just below the row of icons
    Click the Wireless Network Options button
    Remove the check mark next to Create a closed network
    Click Done, then click Update to save the new settings and allow 25-30 seconds for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?

    Can you manually add data to Nike + or do you need to use the Nano?
    What if you are on a trip and forgot your Ipod. It would be great to be able to add lost data. or even edit the Ipod data on the Nike + website

    Hi Hrbrmstr,
    That will be very cool if you can create an xml file
    that will allow us to add runs and edit runs on the
    Nike+ site! The trick may be getting past the server
    dragon which sends out a warning saying, "Your
    workout data could not be sent to nikeplus.com
    because the data could not be accepted by the server"
    when it does not like the data it is sent.
    For example, my runs that did not post had something
    in common: when I read these xml files with TextEdit,
    both have a line that says,
    "<stepCounts><walkBegin>0</walkBegin>". There's also
    a line that tracks steps run. It also said zero. Of
    course, these lines should NOT read zero, because I
    was not starting at zero steps! My guess is that this
    anomaly makes the Nike+ server either reject or
    delete these runs because the step count does not fit
    my other runs.
    Well, I'll leave this stuff to someone who knows more
    than I. Glad you're here.
    For jackt123, the longer is answer to your question
    is that certain things that are not doable now may be
    doable in the future. Stay tuned.
    I just got the dragon today. "Your workout data could not be sent to Nikeplus because iTunes received an unexpected response from the server. Please try again later." Did you ever find out why this happened to you? I went on nikeplus and it did in fact upload my latest run. Now my goals are blank on nikeplus.

  • Using the nano to store files?

    I want to use the nano to store files.
    1. Does itunes have to be installed on any computer that I want to use it with to store files?
    2. Will it work on windows machines also?
    Thanks!

    It doesn't really matter how they come formatted out of the box.
    When you first hook it up to a computer, the iPod Updater software will reformat it for the proper operating system if needed.
    In your case, it may have came formatted for Windows, but since you're on a Mac it reformatted itself when you first hooked it up.
    Whatever platform you 'Restore' the iPod from... that's what format the iPod will be.
    If you want to format it as Windows format... then use the iPod Updater utility on the WIndows machine and do a Restore.

  • Can I use the nano sim card of iPhone 5C for an iPhone 4S?

    My grandmother has been thinking of buying an iPhone 5C (because she saw a good deal) and she wants to give it to me and use her old iPhone 4S. The problem is that she wants to use the nano sim card of the 5C for her 4S in order to save her phone number that she will receive once she buys the phone. Is it possible for a 4S to work with the sim card of a 5C?

    if you use an adaptor to make it a microSim if thats what your 4s use then yes

  • Can I use the nano sim card from my HTC One (M8) for an iPhone 6?

    I am getting a Mac and with Yosemite, it's geared towards iPhones. So, I have decided I want to get an iPhone 6. However, I don't want to spend the extra money to upgrade through AT&T. If I order the iPhone 6 off the internet, can I put the nano sim from my current phone (HTC One M8) into the iPhone 6?

    A lot would also depend on where on the internet you are making the phone purchase from. Are you trying to purchase an AT&T phone from Apple, or something else? I'm guessing you are located in the US?

  • Are there games that use the nano's built in accelerometer?

    I want to buy some good games that use the 4g nano's accelerometer.

    No you can't block the games, and to be honest I don't see the point anyway !
    What kind of spoilsport parents buy a present and then wants to disable a harmless set of very simple games.
    They are using it for games because it is fun and they are enjoying themselves!!!
    Maybe there should be a 'No Fun' option on the iPod, and only allow miserable music to be installed.....

  • 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.

  • Can one use  the iphone with car  stereo systems as one does an ipod?

    My car has a "jack" for mpegs/ipod to interlace with the existing stereo. Is there an accessory that will allow me to use my iphone as one would an ipod with such systems?

    Dewey Cheatum,
    Apple doesn't make most of the adapters out there. Instead Apple provides the specifications so that other manufacturer's can make products that are labeled as "Works with iPhone".
    I would contact the manufacturer of the car stereo to see if they have one that is certified by them to meet the "Works with iPhone" standard. If the radio came with the car, then the dealer and car manufacturer would be the resource to utilize.
    This link described how manufacturer's can get their products labeled as "Made for iPod" or "Works with iPhone".

  • Using the nano radio in a car

    Hi -
    I have an old iPod and which plays back great through my car radio, via a cable from the headphone jack.
    This is an old classic car and the radio is medium/long wave only - so pretty useless today. But I do not want to change it, to preserve the originality of the car.
    Question: if I buy a new Nano with FM radio - does anyone have any experience of the reception I'm likely to get in a moving car?
    I assume that the headphone cable also acts as an aerial. If so, perhaps a 1.5metre input cable routed up above the windscreen might pull in the stations? Anyone know?
    Regards....

  • I currently having problems when dialling with my 4S either from the contacts list, or when using the phone through bluetooth to my in-car system. The phone becomes confused regarding what method / route of connection handsfree, normal use or speaker.

    Hi each time i use my 4S phone a dial from the contact list, the phone will not select a communication mode, either normal speaker or handsfree (car), I have to force the phone into speaker mode and the back to normal mode before I can speak to or listen to anyone. The annoying aspect is the recipient of my call can answer but cannot hear me nor I them.
    What am I doing wrong, or is there an issue with the phone. The same situation occurs when the phone is used with bluetooth in my car, the previous iphone worked perfectly can you please advise.
