okay soo is itunes supposed to be stupid and say you hafta reformat the ipod each time i connect it after i have it plugged into my car?


btw its a band new ipod... current gen, the "classic" ipod, stereo is an Alpine CDA-9885
its getting annoying

ohh and thanks in advance.
PS wrong forum sry, but its not car related directly

 

that sounds annoying as sh*t but not sure what to tell you

 

Um are you sure your not pluging it into another computer? make sure that your firmwear on your ipod is synced to the correct version if not that can cause complications and what are you useing to connect it

 

I have an alpine in dash dvd player and the new itunes for my iphone... everything works fine with everything for me. I can plug my phone in and still take calls on bluetooth

 

well i had that thought as i ordered the newest ipod version...

but the thing is its like only once a week it randomly decides to barf like that or some how it knows when i just wanna move one song over [&:]

 

If the headunit adapter was not designed for the iPod classic then YES that can happen, basically you would want to check with Alpinet see if is even compatible with the iPod, cause most connectors are only designed for the older models iPod's and since newer models have a different firmware then the older ones, it can effect the way the ipod works... also if you have connected it between mac and windows it can cause that message you are getting as well.

 

I havnt ever had a problem with my walkman. Sucks for all of you

 

no just keeping it connected to the one and only computer infected w/ itunes, loath that program...

guess i'll just hafta live w/ it, even though it all works [:@]

 

Buy a walkman, you wont have any problems except batteries

 

i dont really like my ipod honestly. i would much rather like a zune. now that i think about it i really only got the IPOD because it was an ipod
