Why does my ipod not play on my docking station?

My ipod touch has just stoped playing on a docking station. I have tried 4 different station and it will not work.
It will charge but that is all. Someone please help!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

5th gen Ipod not playing in any docking station

I have a 6th generation ipod classic that works great in my pioneer receiver and in both cars. I bought a 5th gen ipod on ebay for my wife and it seems to work just fine.
I restored it using itunes, then put synced songs to it. Everything works fine when it's connected to Windows but it won't play in any docking station. It gets a charge from the station, but won't play.
Does the 5th gen ipod not work in docking stations or is it possible mine isn't functioning right. I contacted the manufacturer of the station in one of the cars and they said all ipods should work.

I have the same problem with a Pioneer X-HM50-K hifi system. My 5th gen ipod (system 1.3 which up-to-date iTunes claims is up-to-date, tried resetting/restoring/all that), when plugged into the docking bay, pauses the music and shows a tick mark after a while with the text "ok to disconnect" beneath it. The tick mark becomes a Pioneer logo after a while but that does not change the fact that the ipod does not react, neither to the command buttons on the Pioneer system (or on the remote control) nor to the buttons on the iPod itself (those do 'click', but have no effect). It does get charged, but doesn't play, just as in the top posting.
A friend's iPod nano works just fine on the Pioneer, and my iPod works fine for everything else (headphones, iTunes, other docking systems I tried at friends', ...). So there seems to be a specific incompatibility with Pioneer systems.
How can this problem be investigated and solved ?

Why does my ipod not play audio?

my ipod touch 4th gen 16gb will not play audio unless it has headphones in. it is second hadn but the seller said nothing about this and the ipod is in perfect condition except for this. i have tried putting the headphones in and out and resetting the ipod, neither of these made any difference. when i play a video or a track without headphones in, the volume slider disappears as if there is no audio file. alarms and facetime sound effects etc still play so i dont think the speakers are broken. please help.

Why does my Mac not play this streaming radio station

Hi all.
I have no trouble listening online to streaming radio at this site:
www.6ix.com.au/streaming/stream.htm
Yet when I try to listen to another online station, CurtinFM Radio found at:
www,curtinfm.com.au/listen-now.html
The 'connection' window comes up but when I try to connect I am advised that something or other is not supported.
Both stations utilize Quicktime to play, and as far as I can tell I am up to date with Quicktime updates.
Any advice appreciated.
Regards

Hi there.
That was quick!
Yes I do have FlipMac installed and again, I think that it is up to date. By default both stations open in Quicktime. I think that I have fiddle with FlipMac in the past without results in this regard, so at the moment I seek guidance as I am stuck. More advice in FlipMac I will also try.
P.S. I am at the present listening to 1080AM radio on my Windows machine <:-{
Mind you, this IS my kind of music. Geeze, I hope this does not date me.
Regards

Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough space available.

Why does my Ipod not synchronize all playlists? Some get synchronized, others don't. Yet there is enough available space.

The S.I. prefix Giga is used to mean both 1000x1000x1000 and 1024x1024x1024. Computer software typically uses the second version, but using the first number makes the same number of bytes appear bigger when expressed as Gb, so is favoured by hard drive manufactures.
80Gb10 = 74.3Gb2
It's a bit like specifying a quantity in gallons without saying whether they are US or Imperial gallons - everybody gets the same volume but one number will be bigger than the other. I could offer you a tank with 10 Imperial gallons of fuel in it - but if I tell you it's 12 US gallons it sounds like you're getting more for your money.
Once the total size of your library exceeds the capacity of your device all you need to do is create some size limited playlists to determine what goes on the device. Don't sync all movies, sync one or two that you plan to watch soon. Likewise with TV Shows. Limit podcasts to unplayed episodes and finally create a music subset. What worked for me for some time was a smart playlist called Steve's Tunes defined as Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Exclude where Exclude was regular playlist that I would manually add to until Steve's Tunes was small enough to fit. These days I run an iPhone and have a number of smart playlists with ? Gb of most played, ? Gb of highly rated, ? Gb of recently added, ? Gb of essentials, ? Gb of unplayed etc. Each time I sync I get slightly updated selection without having to put any extra effort in.

Why does my video not play while audio does?

Using iMovie 9 found that after bringing a clip from clips pane into my project that I could no longer insert or edit the project. The green insert cursor remained but all was frozen. After quitting, video clips in project pane will not play while audio (both audio from the actual clips and music) does play. When mouse hovers/scrubs over the clips in the project pane the video clips do come alive but not when i press space bar or play buttons (play full screen /play project from beginning buttons) in bottom left of window. Strangely video in clips pane do play when I press space bar.
I tried creating a new project and importing clips but no video will play. Same thing applies to all my imovie projects. Another strange thing, the other projects will play when I click on Play Fullscreen button but not my most recent project. Instead, when I click Play full screen button the Last (ie. last in alphabeitical order) of my projects plays instead!
I would really appreciate some help with this. Have spent a lot of hours on the project and seems like I can't even start again.

Why does my IPod not appear in Compter or Device Manager or ITunes using Windows 7?

My 5th generation IPod does not appear on ITunes. Likewise, it does not appear in my OS Windows 7 in the folder: Computer nor does it appear in the window: Device Manager. Is this because Windows 7 does not recognize the IPod? I've had my new computer (1TB, Win. 7, etc) for several months which replaced an older computer with OS Win. XP. The IPod worked fine on XP and I suspect Win. 7 is the issue here? Correct? Windows 7 doesn't recognize several devices and feel like it's planned obsolescence! What is the alternative here if it's Win 7? I have no plans/interest to buy a new IPod, btw!

Hello Gary,
I would be concerned too if my iPod was no longer recognized by iTunes. I found an article with steps to assist with getting iTunes to recognize your iPod on a Windows computer:

Why does my phone not play music in order

When I play music off my Iphone it always skips to different parts of the song, such as it will play the middle bit first, then the begining of the song, then the end. When I play the songs on my iTunes it works perfect, soon as i drag a song on to my phone it does not work, can anyone explain to me how i can fix this problem?

What's this "paying them in the" business? I don't "use an app". I go to a site. See a video I want to play. I select play. I am directed to update to the latest in Flash at Abobe. I go there, and I am told that Flash Videos will not play on th iPad. That's like having a stereo that won't play only classical music. Or a TV that censors certain channels. Open up the WORLD, you MFs! Not just the part that succumbed to you financial demands. Try serving US.

Why does my audio not play from an imported pptx slide +

I created a slide with Images, animations and audio in PowerPoint (2010) and then imported into Captivate 7 as a single slide*. When I publish the slide into an swf file and play, the follows issues occur:
One of the images does not display as contained in the pptx file - it does however show in the swf file in the same dimensions in alight wood grain image (like pine). This image is in one corner of the slide. The image below is that corner...!
The audio does not play when the swf is played. No audio content is shown in the library list
Also, the program I wish to insert the slides into requires individual slides - not whole presentations (it is not SCORM compliant). What is the quickest way of publishing a multi-slide presentation into individual .swf slides?

reinstall the movie, something crazy may have happened during the download, reinstalling it should fix the problem
