Why will my 7th generation ipod classic not work in my 2006 VW Passat?

I equipped my vehicle with the VW iPod connector that was hardwired into my vehicle. I have used both a 1st Gen iPod video/classic as well as a 4th Gen iPod nano with no issues. However, the 7th gen iPod classic I recently purchased will not play music through my car's stereo system. It will charge, but is otherwise undetected by the vehicle.

Because it isn't designed to do that. The only Bluetooth profiles on the Nano are A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) and low energy (think heart monitor). You cannot sync with it.

Why does the 7th generation ipod nano not have games

I want to know why the 7th generation ipod nano does not come with:
1- games
2- voice memo

1. The iPod Nano runs the Pixi operating system, not iOS and has too small a screen for displaying the game and controlling it.
2. Plug in a headset with a microphone: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipod_nano_user_guide.pdf page 46.
3. Ignore the answer from AppleRulesTheWorld

Why is my 7th Generation Ipod Nano not placing music in the same album?

But to be more specific.
Let's say I've bought a music album from iTunes.
All the music is in the same album.
But there is this other song I've downloaded and I want to put it on that same album.
On my ipod, for some reason, they are on separate albums.
And yes, I've put ALL songs under the same album name.
(I know this isn't a big deal but I'd like to shuffle the album with all the songs together.)

Hi TheBigWhiteGun,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Even if the album name in the same, if the artist or "album artist" is different, it still might not show under the same album.
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
There are three reasons why songs from the same album may not be grouped together
The album names of the songs may differ slightly
The songs from the same album may have different artists
Not all songs in the album have the same "Album Artist" assigned to it
See if that works for you.
Best Regards,
Nubz

I'm confused about 6th and 7th generation ipod classic

what is the difference between the 6th and 7th generation ipod classic??

Any song purchased from any of the five computers you've authorized to play content from the iTunes music store will play on all of the authorized machines. You will need to copy the actual song files yourself, as you probably won't be able to redownload the songs from the music store without purchasing them again. Some people have gotten previously purchased music redownloaded for free; contacting the Music Store customer service is necessary for this.

You should ask the developers why they have not updated their application.

My 7th generation ipod classic is making some hard drive noises...it makes me feel so worried that it might be a hard drive issue!

Please help me and advise if i should be changing my ipod.
is there any ipod 7th generation that does not make this hard drive noises? or is this the case with all the ipods???
I'm not feeling well about this issue, as i just noticed while surfing through my songs!

What you are hearing is the sound of the iPod's internal hard drive spinning up to read data from disk for playback. So basically, what you are hearing is completely normal for the iPod Classic. If you still feel that it is unusually loud, find another person with an iPod Classic and compare them. If your iPod is louder, it could be signs of a faulty/damage drive, but don't be sure quick to jump to conclusions.

IPod Classic not working in car but works everywhere else. Troubleshooting?

My iPod is not working with my Infiniti iPod jack but all other iPods work fine with the in-car system. My iPod synchs fine to my Mac and to an external stereo player through the connector on the bottom of the unit. So it looks like both units work fine with any iPod, but only my iPod will not work with the car while it does work with other connections. How can I troubleshoot this? Thanks for any help.
BTW, the Infniti is a 2008 G37 and the dealer just put a brand new unit in it and the same thing happened. The iPod is a 2008 80GB Classic.
Heeeelp!!!!

I have the same problem with my infiniti G37. Soo frustrating!

1st Generation iPod (5GB) not working with new iMac

Hi,
i have the Problem, that my 1st generation iPod is not detected by my new imac (20'' 2,4 Ghz). When i plug in the firewire cable, nothing happens. DiscUtility sees no disc at all.
But when i plug in the iPod "behind" another Firewire disc (acting as a fw-hub), the iPod ist detected within a second, and everything works fine.
I just wanted to know if someone else is having this Problem, or if someone else has a working iPod 1.Gen on the new iMac.
Thanks
Joerg

Hi JvdL,
I am one with a 1st gen iPod (Windows, 10GB).
But I have no problems with it and I also don't have a last gen. iMac.
However, in the iPod Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151 and in the iTunes Forum http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=149&start=0#threads there are quite some threads with similar problems.
Sorry

IPod (5G) and iPod (Classic) Not Working

_*iPod 5G:*_
I bought the iPod 5G 2-3years back ago. It was working all fine. Few months back I accidentally dropped the iPod. After this, the iPod was not working at all. None of the buttons works. But i am still able to put in on HOLD or even restart/put to disk mode. I am using it as a 80gb External Hard Drive.
*iPod Classic (120GB):*
I bought this iPod from Bangkok in December 2008. Later, in March, used to restart by itself and freeze suddenly when a track is being played. I had some tracks on it then. Whenever i try to play any track it showed the time 00:00 and started to play that particular track after this 'click' sort of sound from the inside, possibly from the hard drive. It even freezes during the RESTART process. So I had to bring it to a stable condition by restarting it during it is being restarted. My computer is not able to identify it. I have tried to restore it a couple of times now. Sometimes, I am able to get through the RESTORE process but most of the time my mac/ipod freeze together and wont come back to normal until and unless the usb wire is pulled out forcefully. Well, whenever iTunes recognizes it, I try to sync music. I have about 200 tracks in this one playlist. Whenever i try to sync it, the ipod freezes together with my mac. The sync process stops without copying all the tracks to my ipod. After that the screen goes black and then comes back with a dull APPLE logo displayed.
+Information on iPod Shuffle:+
My dad is going to Bangkok tomorrow. I asked him to get me a Shuffle. The new one that talks. I use the ipod mainly in my car (using the aux). There are no buttons on the Shuffle as everything in situated in cable of the ear phones. How am i going to use the controls if my connect the AUX (from my car's stereo) to my iPod? I wont be able to change tracks, pause or even shut down the ipod. Another thing is that whenever the ear phone plug is disconnected from the ipod, while it is playing a track, the track gets automatically paused.
This is very long, consumed a lot of time for you to read/for me to write. I guess making it longer would help me to kill time as I am running a ZERO OUT format on the 2nd ipod I own. :P
Thank You,
Samin

The classic bought in December 2008 would still be covered by warranty. Have you arranged for service for it?

IPod Classic not working unless docked

I have a new 7th gen iPod classic which is only 2wks old. It works perfectly fine when docked & states the battery is fully charged but as soon as I disconnect it becomes no responsive & the screen slowly fades until until it is off completely. Plug it back in & it works perfectly again. I've tried all the ways of trying to reset it but nothing appears to be working. Any ideas?

Since it is new, you should make a reservation at the Genius Bar, if there is an Apple Store conveniently located.
If there is no Apple Store nearby, look on the Contact Us link, at the bottom right corner of this web page. Under Product & Technical Support - Contact Apple Support, it says "Mac, iPhone, iPod and iPad customers within 90 days of ownership are eligible for complimentary phone support — one support incident per iPod..."
For something like this, which sounds like a manufacturing defect, I think you should be speaking to an Apple tech support employee, either at the Genius Bar or on the phone.

Now that I moved my itunes to a new computer why will my iphone and ipod touch not sync?

I just switched my itunes to my new laptop from my desktop (which no longer works). Everything seemed to be ok after I updated to the newest version of itunes. Now I cannot get my iphone (3G) and my ipod touch to sync at all. In fact when I plugged in my ipod touch it erased everything I had on there. I know these are older devices but I had no problems with syncing previously so why now? Even the backups will not work.

You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you switch iTunes will erase the iPod and replaces the media with what is in the iTunes library of the new computer.
You should have done this:
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
You said "Even the backups will not work.". What happens when you try to restore from backup?

Why is my 4th generation ipod touch not charge? I plug it into the computer and the wall and with 2 different usb cables and its not charging. When its plugged in it shows the icon for charging but the battery never increases and it dies once i disconnect

I have a 4th generation Ipod Touch. It has been working for months when yesterday the battery started acting werid. I was driving and it was connected with the usb charger cable to my car stereo when all the sudden my music stopped and the stereo could not recognize my ipod at all. When I got back home, I tried to charge it so it wouldnt die but even while on the charger in the wall the battery continued to die. I charged it over night (the first time I have ever charged it over night) desperately to have battery for a 4 o clock plane flight so I would have entertianment. The ipod died over night while on the charger. When I unplugged it from the usb charging cable I noticed that the icon telling me the ipod needed to be charged came up. So I plugged it back in. The charging thunder bolt symbol popped up next to the very small red strip on the left side of the battery indicating that the ipod had no charge to turn its self on. I tried plugging it in on the computer, the wall ac charger and a stereo system made just for the ipod that also pluggs into the wall. I have used 2 different cables, the result being the same that the ipod held no charge, and it wouldnt charge at all while on the charger, and it would imediately die once i take it off the charger.
I have not idea what has happened ....
Please help
THanks!

- While charging try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: 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.
- Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
- However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

Does the 7th generation iPod classic have a glass screen

does the 7th gen.... ipod classic have a glass screen an what the average life span with normal everday useage,,,,

It is a glass display and the average lifespan depends on a number of factors such as how often it is used and under what conditions, etc. I would say 2 - 3 years overall is a very good number for these types of devices, but many users recieve many more years of use than that.
