IPOD Music

I am unable to play all my ITunes music in my 2010 528 built prior to Oct 2010. I have it connected via USB cable. I have heard you can play it but only the non-DRM music.

If my IPOD is connected which is an authorized device, why can't I play all the songs. II can understand if I had the music on a flash drive.. But, it's all on an authorized Apple device.

Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm probably not much help on this as I'm a BlackBerry adict but I believe ther was an Apple Y connector that was required in the pre-combobox vesions of the F10 to play the iPod.

You either need to connect it with an Y-connector or the genuine std. Apple USB cable. It won't work with an aftermarket connector.

I have my IPOD connected with the genuine Apple USB cable. Which one is the Y connector?

I can play non DRM protected songs without a problem. I just want to be able to play the entire collection of songs. I am not trying to bypass the DRM restrictions, the songs are on the IPOD which is an authorized use of the songs. Just wondering why I cant play them and or am I doing something wrong.

Do you use something like this? http://www.amazon.co.uk/iPhone-Adapter-iDrive-Interface-suitable/dp/B004E5J61G
It connects to aux and USB at BMW side, and 30 pin connector on iPod side. Maybe try that and see if it works. This is the "y" cable.

No I don't use that, had never seen one. All I use is the usb cable and with that alone I am able to play all the non DRM music on my IPOD. Do you think that connector would bypass the DRM songs and allow them to be played?

So does anyone know if the Y-connector will allow me to play the DRM music on my IPOD?
