Using Y cable to dock Touch w/stereo

I bought a Radio Shack 5-in-1 Ipod shuffle accessory kit that contains a RCA y-cable so that you can plug your ipod in its docking station top port and be able to enjoy music thru my home stereo system. Problem is this kit will allow me to plug my old shuffle right in the usb port of the radio shack docking station. But when i use the RS supplied sync cable or even the Apple touch supplied sync cable and plug that into my touch and then into the top of the RS doc station along with it connected to my stereo audio jack it wont play. i have tested both the RS and touch sync cables and also tested the shuffle in the dock and everything works fine. but why is my touch not working fine? if there something i need to set on the touch to get it play in the dock before i connect with the usb sync cord to the RS dock station?

Although iTunes does not list it in Apps for my Touch, the Touch has a Video icon which brings up a menu of videos and movies and allows me to select and play the video. Is there another app that I should be using?

I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack. The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble.

I connected my iPod Touch to a stereo system phono input using a cable with stereo jacks (red and white) on one end and that plugs into the iPod's headphone jack. The problem is that the sound is extremely muffled and bass-heavy, with little treble. I have to turn the bass control on the stereo receiver to pratically zero in order for the sound coming through the stereo to be acceptable. Is there a setting on either the iPod or the stereo that I need to change in order to fix this?

The phono input is for a phonograph. The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output. Does th stero have an AUX input? That should be compatible.

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?

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!

HT1454 Is it possible to play games and using apps using Component or Composite cables with ipod touch 4g?

Is it possible to play games and using apps on TV using Component or Composite cables with ipod touch 4g?
Or using universal dock?
Or this is only for video?

The iPod only displays TV out for apps that support TV out. The App description will say if it supports TV out.

ipod touch 4g has stopped docking with sony stereo cmt-bx70dbi

It appears that the update made the iPd incompatible with the Sony dock. Try contacting Sony. Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.

Recording in using the audio in with a mini stereo cable

Does anyone here use the audio port on the MacBook to record? I see there are several ways of using studio mics like Blue Microphone's Icicle XLR converter. What would the quality of recording be if I were to connect my synth using a cable with L&R 1/4' jacks to mini stereo jack and go staight into the audio jack and record?
Would it be better to get a better soundcard?
Thanks

Thanks Lyssa,
Right now, I take a cable that is stereo RCA down to mini stereo and run that between the mixer and the Edirol recorder. The RCA plugs go into the left & right of the mixer and the mini goes into the line in on the Edirol. Work perfect. I also do this with a cassette deck to the Edirol to copy what's on the tape.
I figured it would work for that too.
But, if I need a preamp, maybe I could come out of the headphone jack and just convert it from 1/4" to mini stereo in the MacBook?
Ideas!

Connecting Zen Touch to stereo/amplif

I was wondewring is there any connection that could connect the Zen Touch with a stereo? on the back of the stereo there is a left and right socket for "Video/MD" . any ideas what type of connectino is needed.

If you have a Digital Recei'ver, try using Monster cable for MP3 player. You can get this cable at any sears electronic store or any online retailer. Now, if you have a regular receiver, any cable will work. Plug the cable to you player and the other into CD Input of your receiver and BINGO.. I preferred using Monster cable because the sounds are well balance and crisp. Have fun listening to your MP3 Player..

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.

How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable? Video looks great, just no sound.
I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
I get video every time. HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
just no audio. Any suggestions?
I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

Claudiamil-
I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did. I'm using a small Vizio HDTV. I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers. In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down. Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

Why can I no longer use hdmi cable to connect to the tv

WWhy can I no longer use hdmi cable to connect to the tv

Anyway, with the introduction of ios 8.x, apple stopped supporting older a/v cables. You need to get the latest a/v cable with the correct firmware. There is a little chip in the a/v cable. go to the apple store. Buy a new cable. Verify the cable works in the store.
some people report success with a full factory restore.
Re-boot ipad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears, then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears. page 128 iPad user manual.
force power down if the above give you trouble.
Hold down both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button. Ten seconds or more. Hold until the Apple logo appears.
more details on re-booting:

Restore to factory settings by loading the latest version of ios that your machine will support:
   Do a full backup of your device. Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

HELPED NEED! AV Cable * Universal Dock

I purchased the universal dock and av cable hoping to play my music from my ipod on my stero system. The cable has a line that fits into the steroeo nicely but then it has three lines; one is yellow, one red, and the last one is white. I put them all in respectively while the music was playing and i can't hear anything. What should I do??

You've most likely connected the wrong connectors if you know what I mean.
The AV cable you have incorporates a vidoe stream. For listening to audio only, your cable would only have two connectors at one end.
You should still be able to use the cable though - connect the single plug at one end to the iPod dock, then connect the White plug to the Black port on your hi-fi and the red plug to the red port on your hi-fi. Make sure you turn your iPod volume up and change your hi-fi's source setting to Aux (auxiliary, line-in or something similar). The yellow cable is for video - you might have these three connections on your TV.

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? simultaneously?

Can I use two airports to use internet and listen to itunes in stereo? I just bought a second airport so I could listen to itunes & Pandora on my stereo. My problem is that I haven't been able to connect to both airports at once. I want to listen to the stereo (one airport) while using internet which is connected to a separate airport. Unfortunately, the stereo and ethernet cables are not close by which is why I bought the second airport.

You can run both simultaneously. You just need to reconfigure the base station that will be used for streaming as a wireless client.
I suggest that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on the 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) to get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration. By default, the AXn will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name of something like: Apple Network NNNNNN
After the reset has completed, plug the AXn into power, and then, verify from the iMac that this network shows up in the list of networks under the AirPort icon in the OS X menu bar.
Be sure to first switch the wireless network to the AirPort that will be used for streaming. Note: You will temporarily lose the Internet connection from your "main" AirPort. Then, run the AirPort Utility. The Utility should now find the streaming AXn. If not, use the Utility's "Configure Other" option under the File menu option in the Utility's menu bar. Enter 10.0.1.1 for the Address and "public" for the Password.
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <existing "main" AirPort's wireless network>
Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
AirPort Utility > Select the AXn > Manual Setup >Music
Enable AirPlay (checked)
iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
Verify Password: (optional)
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX

Can't use new iPod with dock

I purchased new iPod touch, 5th generation, for my teenagers for Christmas, but they cannot use them with their docks, even after purchasing the Apple lightning connector. How can my kids listen to their new iPods through their docks

When you say 'Lightning connector' what, exactly did you buy?
I use a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter to connect my 5thG Touch to a traditional iPod dock. See picture below.
