Playing audio to dock thru lightning to 30-pin adapter?

Hi folks.  I just bought a new iPad mini w/ retina display.  I own two iPod docks.  I'd like to be able to play music and podcasts--all audio, really--from the iPad through the docks.  The docks have 30-pin connectors.  I bought the lightnig to 30-pin adapter, plugged the lightning end into the iPad and the 30-pin end into the dock.  Then I played a podcast with the iPad plugged into each dock.  Both times, sound came from the iPad, but nothing from the docks.  On one of them, the iPad showed a message that said "device not supported."  On the other dock, the iPad showed no message.  Can you help me trouble-shoot this? 
Many thanks in advance.

Didn't realize the A1359 was a keyboard dock for the iPad. The cable should work.

    My husband has a 7th gen iPod nano, and I have a docking station for my iPhone 3GS, we have been looking at the lightning to 30 pin adapter today music through my dock, will this work?

  • Does the lightning to 30 pin adapter support audio?

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation and can't listen to it in the car because the wire from the cars FM transmitter has a 30 pin connection. I was just wondering if the lightning to 30 pin adapter would support the audio.

    Hey treshz98,
    Thanks for the information, I believe the following article addresses your question:
    Lightning to 30-pin Adapter: Using video adapters or other 30-pin accessories
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5498
    When you connect an iPod or iPhone with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, the iPod or iPhone will be treated like an iPod that does not support iPod Out. You should still be able to navigate through and play your music using the vehicle's built-in user interface.

  • Why doesn't my lightning to 30 pin adapter support any of my audio my from ipod touch 5th generation

    Why doesn't my lightning to 30 pin adapter support any of my audio my from ipod touch 5th generation.on my dock

    Have you contacted the dock manufacturer?
    The adopter supports audio if the dock manufacturer says the dock supports the 5G iPod.
    It may be that the dock does not work with iOS 6.x vie the 5G. Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility.

  • What adapter do I need for my ipod Nano 7th Generation to connect to a Sony home docking station (30 pin). I purchased the one recommended (Lightning to 30 pin adapter), but it says 'this accessory is not supported by this device)?

    Could someone please tell me the correct lead I need for an Applie Ipod 7th Generation 16GB for a Sony docking station. I bought a Lightning to 30 pin adaptor that fits the dock but not the ipod (this was recommended to me by someone from the Apple shop believe it or not). I need one that will fit the ipod and then slot into the 30 pin dock. The dock pulls out and my old ipod (5th Generation) just slotted straight in, but this slot obviously doesn't fit. It would really help if someone can recommend what I need to use or even if there is one that just slots in or whether I need some sort of cable and can't use the docking station. I've had a lock at the Apple store but just keep getting confused about what does what and can't seem to see anything unless I need an additional cable to slot into the 30 pin adapter I already have?
    HELP - CONFUSED.COM!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
    Is this what you bought?
    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

  • Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock"  !!!!

    Dear Apple's people, please note that "Lightning to 30 pin Adapter" don't work with iPhone5 and iPhone5s "Base Dock"  !!!!

    Ho comprato un adattatore originale Apple "lighitning to 30 pin adapter" per poter usare i mei vecchi cavi dell'iPhone4 con il nuovo iPhone5.
    Se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) direttamente all'iPhone5 , tutto funziona.
    Ma se collego l'adattatore (con il vecchio cavo delliPhone4) all'iPhone5 tramite la "base dock" , l'adattatore non viene riconosciuto e non funziona.
    Pensando che l'adattatore fosse rotto, ho riprovato con altri identici adattatori originali, ma il risultatato è lo stesso.
    Quindi penso che potrebbe essere un errore di progettazione della base dock che supporta unicamente la connessione diretta tramite un cavo lighning e non supporta la connessione se in mezzo c'è l'adattatore !!

  • HT1380 Attach Lightning to 30-pin Adapter on a universal dock

    Can I attach a Lightning to 30-pin Adapter to the 30 pin socket of my universal dock for listening to music and charging my iPhone 5?

    But will my iPhone stay in place and not tip over if i place the Lighting to 30-pin adapter on top on my universal dock and then attach my iPhone 5 to it?
    Won't it require some support at the back to keep it upright?

  • Lightning to 30-pin Adapter (0.2 m) (A1450) is not recognized by my Iphone 5s!!

    I Just bougt the Lightning to 30-pin adapter (0.2m) (A1450). I'm now connecting the cable (device)  to my Iphone 5s (Ios 7.0.4) without any other device connected to it and I receive the message "This accessory is not supported by this device."
    When I connect the adapter to my car stereo with my 30pin connector my iphone won't give me the option to play audio to the dock connecter. Lukyly it is charging.
    Why is my iphone not regocnizing my (genuine) lightning to 30 pin adapter? If it would, I think it will also playback music via the connector like my old Iphone 4s.
    Thanks for reply

    I am getting the same error. After a 30 minute drive each way to the Apple store, and not discovering the error until I got home, I am pretty upset. This is the reason we all buy genuine Apple accessories, so we don't have these kinds of warning messages and errors.
    Time to go back to the store and have a Genius actually plug the next adapter into the phone to be sure it works before I leave the store. Grrrr.

  • APPLE LIGHTNING TO 30-PIN ADAPTER MD824ZM/A

    I have just bought a new iPod Touch 5th Gen.
    Will the "APPLE LIGHTNING TO 30-PIN ADAPTER MD824ZM/A" let me connect the iPod to my surround sound, which has a 30 pin dock, and allow the music to play through the system?
    Have been doing some searching and have seen varying answers.  The APPLE LIGHTNING TO 30-PIN ADAPTER MD824ZM/A cable is not cheap so I don't want to be paying out for something that will not do the job.
    Thanks

    Thanks - hadn't considered the surround controls controlling the iPod so handy to know

  • Lightning to 30 pin adapter

    I currently have a 5th generation 30GB ipod that I use in my car with a cables to go 3.5mm to dock connector audio cable.
    I want to upgrade to a 32GB ipod touch and I was wondering if I use the Apple lightning to 30 pin adapter and connect it to my cables to go cable in my car will the touch give me a line out signal the way my current ipod and cable does so that I can listen through my cars audio system?
    Hope this makes sense.
    Thanks
    Frank

    I ended up cancelling my order for an iPod touch 4 and instead ordered an iPod touch 5 32GB.
    I received my iPod touch 5 yesterday and tried using the Lightning to 30 pin adapter in my car with the Cables to Go 30 pin connector to 3.5mm cable connected to the AUX port in my car and heard nothing through my cars stereo system.
    Fortunately when I ordered the iPod I also ordered another 30 pin connector to 3.5mm cable by Comprehensive and when I hooked up that cable in my car it seemed to work perfectly. Not sure what the difference in the cables could be, but I think I will pick up an extra one.

  • Will the lightning to 30 pin adapter work with ihome

    I was wondering if, while using an iPoud Touch 5th Gen, a lightnight to 30pin adapter, and an iHome, would it charge and be able to play music? I saw something saying you won't but i wasn't sure if that was credible. Is there a way to make the iHome work with it if not?

    The overview for the adopter says:
    This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Support for analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.
    Thus it supports audio, charging and some other functions but not video

  • Looking for an extender for lightning to 30-pin  adapter

    The .2m, or the longer lightning to 30-pin adapter for the Iphone 5/5s/5c, is too small.
    I drive a 2008 VW Jetta with a 30-pin iPod adapter dock in the center that was stock with the car. I have the adapter, but, it is just not long enough at all. I don't mind it, but I would prefer, of course, to have something longer, and safer.
    I have already tried Cablejive cables, and they are not compatible with VW systems.
    I don't care if the solution is bulky at this point, I just want something safer when I drive, so it is easier to pick my music.
    I was reading somewhere someone using a firewire cable or something? And just to let you know, I do not have an MDI connector.
    Thank you all.

    If you're using a case on your iPhone 5, the problem may have something to do with the way your case was designed. Many of the most popular cases aren't compatible with the adapter becasue they prevent it from being flush with the bottom of your iPhone.
    The workaround solutions are to cut out part of the bottom of your case so the dock connector will fit, or to exchange the adapter for the adapter cable, which is $10 more but plugs in to the bottom of your iPhone like the USB cable that came with it.
    Personally, I just cut two small rubber parts of my case out (an Incipio DualPro that otherwise offers great protection, which I got at the local Verizon store). That solved the problem for me.

  • What exactly IS a Lightning to 30-pin adapter?

    Hi everyone, first post here.
    So, this week (hopefully), my Product Red, engraved, 5th Gen iPod touch is coming in. Although I didn't order a Lightning to 30-pin adapter, I may get one for Christmas. I have a Sony iPod Docking station (only works with earlier gens). Does the Lightning to 30-pin adapter have 30-pin on bottom and Lightning on top? So, like, it just plops right onto the Dock and then put my iPod 5th gen on top?
    Thanks for any help.
    Itoucherdude

    This 30-pin to lightning dock adapter should be compatible with most of the docks.
