Iphone4 wont connect to or play through accessories dock via 30 pin connector but charges ok??

As the title states really!
I can connect and play songs via the head phone jack but not via the 30 pin connector on the bottom. For example, when fitted in a dock (I have 3 different ones to try), FM transmitter or anything else through that 30 pin connector it wont recognise the phone to play songs, but the phone will charge fine through all of these and I can plug in into my PC and access itunes.
Its not the end of the world, just frustrating as i cant use the docks for playing music, they are just really expensive chargers now!
I would be greatful for any help or ideas, i cant find anyone with the same problem.
Thanks, Emma.

I'm experiencing the same problem now.  I cannot play any music through the doc connector on my iPhone 4.  Music plays through the headphone jack just fine.  I have the feeling that this is a software issue with the iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1.

  • I have recently downloaded 4.3.3 (I think this is the most recent) on my iPhone 4, however it won't play through my docking station even when it's charging! How can I fix this?

    Can anyone tell me how to resolve this?

    I didn't think of this earlier, but if it makes any difference: the PC I'm running iTunes on and have had this iPhone connected to is running Windows 7 Ultimate.

  • My ipod touch wont play through my docking station

    hiya i have an ipod touch. aout a week ago it stopped working with my docking station. it wont play through the docking station speakers. ive tried two other ipods on the station and they work fine so its clearly a problem with my ipod. the ipod registers that its plugged into a charging source and starts playing music when its plugged in but through its own speakers rather then the docking station. i've tried doing a full factory reset and that didnt work. does anybody have any suggestions?

    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

    Hi jaredfox06,
    If I understand the issue correctly, you have recently purchased a used iPhone and you do not see your Apple TV in the control center in order to AirPlay.  To troubleshoot this issue please follow the steps outlined below.
    Try these steps first
    Make sure that you have the latest software on your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Make sure that both devices have Wi-Fi turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network.
    If you're trying to use peer-to-peer AirPlay, make sure that both devices have Bluetooth turned on.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.
         If you don't see AirPlay in Control Center
    When an AirPlay-enabled device is available, you'll see AirPlay in Control Center on your iOS device.
    If you don't, try these steps:
    Restart your iOS device and Apple TV.
    Connect both devices to the same Wi-Fi network.
    On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, go to Settings > General > Network. If your Apple TV is connected using Ethernet, make sure that it’s plugged in to the router you're using for Wi-Fi.
    On your Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on. Go to Settings > AirPlay.

  • I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information

    I downloaded ios7 after being asked to restore. But now my phone wont connect to the activation server and is asking to restore again but I cant because itunes does not show any of my phone information (it just shows a blank white screen with "iphone" in the centre".

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to activate after the update, and the server is getting overloaded. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

  • I can see my Canon MP600 usb connected to Airport Express through Bonjour on my Windows XP. But, when installed by Bonjour, the printor time-out and can't print anything. Any idea what to do?

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    So am I correct in saying trying to utilise the Airport Express to access the printer over the network was a wasted effort due to the latest iOS? I had read up on the express before purchase and believed that was one of it's main purposes.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Iphone4 wont connect to home wifi connects to neighbors..others iphones ipads connect to this wifi cannot change it and cannot access apps store. Does nor request password just "cannot access"

    Iphone 4 wont connect to home wifi but connects to neighbors open wifi.  Family members with iphones can connect to the wifi automatically and Mac compiuter in home connects to this wifi and this iphone did connect automaticcally until a few weeks ago.  Does not request password when try to connect to own wifi..just says "cant access.". Also cant access the Apple apps store to purchase apps but all other function operate normally. Apple store tech says nothing wrong with phone. It connected to their wifi and coud access apps store from their wifi.     This iphone belongs to son who is autistic.  I am mother trying to resolve this issue and very frustrated.  Have reset router but no change.

    Based on the symptoms, your phone is fine, and the Router is the problem.   Try http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398.  Specifically the "forget this network" step.  I would also consider resetting the wifi network password.  Sometimes that will allow a connection.

  • Sound no longer playing through Surround Sound via TV

    I have had my Mac Mini for about a year now and recently purchased a new 3D LG TV.  Prior to that I had another LG hooked up through it and have a Panasonic surround sound system set up with I believe it's a Gefen digital to analog converter, because unfortunately LG only makes digital and alls that is available is analog through my surround sound.  I have always been able to listen to my computer through the surround sound, however, since I purchased this new TV I have not been able to.  The sound plays through the TV speaker but will not play through the surround sound yet when I change inputs over to my PS3 or DirecTv I can hear everything else except my computer.  This is why I am convinced it is the computer and not the TV.  I don't know if I'm missing a setting or something needed to change for this type of TV or what.  I am pretty technical when it comes to electronics so I have tried changing all different types of settings and played around trying to fix this but so far no luck so who has an idea or ever heard of this before?

    @mndwgz and Lousyfool
    Sorry for the delay, however, I was out of town and just getting back to this issue.  I'm not 100% positive but I'm pretty sure that it has something to do with the computer settings or something of the sort because like I said prior to me switching tv's it has worked no problem, both of which were connected the same exact way.  Both LG tv's only have an optical digital output port on it while my Panasonic surround sound only has an A/V input.  To solve this I have a Gefen Digital to Analog converter in between the connection from the TV and the Surround Sound, so my computer is not connected anything in between the computer and HDMI connection to TV.  Sound comes out of the TV through the computer but will not bypass through the TV to the Surround Sound.  However I know it's not the TV settings because my PS3 regardless of the HDMI input plays sound through and over all my speakers.  I have not tried rerunning my computer through the old LG LCD tv connect the surround sound as well to see if it worked because all the way up until I switched to an LED tv, it had.  It's weird how this is a problem but have tried switching settings, changing inputs, problemsolving etc. but just don't see how my PS3 is converted through the tv to the converter to the surround sound and my mac mini is not!
    Old LCD TV- LG model 42LH30
    New LED TV- LG model 47LM6200
    Surround Sound- Panasonic model SA-PT950

  • I cannot play music when connect to stereo via 30-pin connector. Help?

    Since I first upgraded my iPod Touch 2nd Gen to iOS 4.x, I cannot play music when connect to external speakers via the 30-pin connector. I've tried several different speaker systems, but none work. My iPod freezes after making my song selection and doesn't do anything until after rebooting. Even then, it just goes through the same cycle if I select another song. My iPod is 100% functional until I try to plug it in to an external speaker system.
    Keep in mind that it worked up until iOS 3.1.3.

    Sounds like iOS 4 broke the compatibility with your accessory, something that sometimes happens with major OS changes. Your only hope is to see if the accessory manufacturer has an update to make it compatible with iOS 4, or downgrade your Touch back to 3.1.3.

    Hello Apple_Addict22,
    Thank you for your question. iOS 7 requires iTunes 11.1.  First, I recommend trying to obtain the update by going to the iTunes menu and selecting Check for Updates.

  • I can't make my ipod play through a docking station tge the music comes out tge ipod how do I solve this?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - 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.

  • IPT4 doesnt play through INTEMPO dock while an old ipod does. sound comes from ipod speaker only. why not thru dock speakers?

    My old iPod works fine in an INTEMPO dock. My new iPod touch 4 will only play in the dock thru its own speaker and there is also a 'not charging' message.
    Is the dock not up to handling my iPod Touch4?

    Two possible reasons:
    - The configuration of the 4G iPod prevents the iPod from fully seating in some older docks, those not deisgned for ohe 4G.
    - Some docks are not compatible with the later iOSs
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site?
