2nd Gen iPod fit the dock connector of of 3rd Gen Color iPod?

So I have a 2nd Gen iPod (4 round buttons) dock connector 40GB and want to get the new universal dock with the IR sensory so I can control it with the remote. In the description of the new dock it says it is compatible with my model but doesn't say it comes with that particular dock apdapter. However it says that it does come with a the dock adapter for the 40GB color display. My question is does mine have the same physical dimensions as the 40GB color display model? And so will it fit into the dock adaptors that come with the dock or do I need to get some additional adaptor? I thought that they were identical in size, though on Apples "Identifying different iPod models" page it doesn't list the physical dimensions of them. If anyone knows this that would be great.

hi Zachary!
good lord. something appears to have gone horribly wrong with the footnoting on the Universal Dock KB doc:
Learn about iPod Universal Dock
okay ... here's what i think is going on.
it's saying that five different adapters come with the dock.
five of the adapters listed in the table have little superscript "1"s next to them (adapters 3-7).
the first of those two "bullet point" notes below the table says "Included with the iPod Universal Dock".
sooooooo ... my thought is that the five adapters you get with the dock are adapters 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
but your 40G four-round-button ipod is a dock connector ipod according to this document:
Identifying different iPod models
which i think, according to the table on the Universal Dock page, means that you need a number 2 adapter, and so you're going to have to get an additional three pack of adapters for it.
... that all sounds plausible, but i'd prefer it if someone with both a universal dock and a 40GB dock connector ipod could actually tell us which adapter they have to use ...
love, b

How to much does it cost to fix an ipod touch 4 dock connector in the us

the dock connector is messed up bc the metal things are bent and i want to know how much it costs to get it fixed in the apple store even if my warranty expired 23 days ago

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.
Apple - iPod Repair price
You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:

A third-party place like the following will replace the connector for less. Google for more.

IPod Touch 4G Dock Connector

Is is possible to use the new Touch 4G dock connector with Bose Sounddock Speaker systems? I can't get it to connect to my Bose Sounddock 10 or Portable. The dock connector seems way too tight, I'm not used to having to force any iPod to get it connected. Currently, I can only connect the Touch to things using the USB cable. Is there a trick that I'm missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to have to return this but if I can't use it with my speakers then back to Apple the two of them I bought go.

Hi, please help me, you seem to be the only solution for my problem in the whole internet... I am having the same issue with my brand new iPod Touch 4th gen. And as you said, I noticed that annoying ¿plastic? in the iPod's connector dock. So, how did you manage to move that piece apart of its place? I'm trying with some sort of needles, but I did not succeed. Once I move it, should I place the iPod in the dock and leave it there all night? It comes to my mind, that if i do this, its probable that then, maybe, the dock will fit with no problems. Please help me, I'm kind of desperate.
PS: Sorry if my english is a little bit rusty, im from Argentina.

Hairline In the Dock Connector

Hi ,
I have just bought an Ipod nano 5th gen [brand new]and as soon as i was going to connect it to my pc for syncing i noticed a line in the middle of the dock connector of the ipod , the line starts from the inside and continues to the outside and returning back inside [looks like a mountain has been drawn]. This line or watever its called is on the silver plated surface of the D. Connector . My other 8gb version doesn't have any such thing.
Also it works fine and everything but that line...........
So what do u think i should and if u were in my place what would u do ?
Thanks alot

Apple does not read these forums. These are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other. You need to call Apple Support.
Did you even bother to read the links I posted? Through a Google search I found the following:

That white plastic thing that covers the dock connector

I just got my iPod mini back from a repair with Apple. It's a different iPod and it works great, but the little piece of white plastic that I used to cover the dock connector doesn't fit this one. Is this a problem? It seems like the connection could easily become dirty if it's not protected.

No, it's not a problem. Most iPods don't have a cover, just the earlier models.

IPod HiFi - What dock connector do I use for a 80GB (5th Generation) ipod??

Hi,
Just got a new shinny ipod HiFi, however what dock connector can I use for an 80GB (5thG) as the connectors only go up to 60GB??? Or does the ipod come with a dock connector? Can anyone point me in the right direction, pretty please.
Any suggestions would be great help.
Cheers
Sian

You mean the dock adapter, right? The little plastic piece with a slot?
Use the one for the 60GB.
The only thing they do is make the iPods it correctly in the dock.
The dock connector is the slot on the bottom of the iPod.

HT204291 my ipad2 thinks it is airplaying to the Dock Connector

my ipad2 thinks it is airplaying to the Dock Connector any fix? I shut off bluetooth, reset all settings, blew out the dock connector with a can of air and held down the top switch and round button, already.

turn the volme bar down no you can see the orange bit, then lock the screen. Leav eyour phone/ipad/ipod for a few minutes then turn the volume bar up and go into your iphone/ipad and it should work, otherwise all youll have todo is give the charging point a good hard blow/compressed air which should also work.
if not book in and see the apple genuis'

Trouble with the dock connector??

I have no clue why my Ipod is doing this or if its the cord. Ill plug my Ipod into the computer, and nothing happens. If I lift the cord up right where it plugs into my ipod it'll start charging. So unless i use the case to wrap the cord up over the screen and hook the cord to the belt clip to keep a constant pull on it, it won't connect or charge. Though i have used another cord and i still had to do this to charge it.
Can anyone tell me why it's doing this? and how I would fix it?

Have you tried cleaning the dock connector slot on the iPod? You may have a problem with the dock connector and it needs replacement. If you have an Apple store nearby you might want to make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

IPod (15 GB dock connector) 2003-04 how long it is supposed to run?

iPod (15 GB dock connector) 2003-04 touch wheel 15 GB
Can't seem to find any specs on how long it is supposed to run.
Perhaps using the iPod in cold weather makes it drain faster?
Tried repairing this iPod by using Disk Mode.
I've been running the iPod indoors for over one hour now and it is at 75% charged. Still think that there is a problem in that when I turn the iPod off and place it in hold mode, when I slide the hold mode back off the iPod is fully booted up, which means that it never really turned off. At best it runs one hour outdoors in the cold. My question, how long it is supposed to run.?

It's really hard to say how long a five or six year old battery should run. However, using any Li-Ion battery in the cold will adversely affect playing time. Remember also, that as the battery ages, its capacity decreases. If this is the original battery, I'd say you've gotten your money's worth.

Ipod Touch 4g dock connector pins bent

Hello, my daughter's Ipod Touch 4g will no longer charge and taking a close look at it, a few of the pins in the dock connector are bent. Does Apple repair these? Because I am having a hard time finding a repair place in town

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask. The Genius may be able to bend then back. The Genius may also replace your iPod at no cost or charg you the following for a replacement.
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
Typically, the store ill only change out your battery. Ohter repair are exchanges.
You can also contact this place. I do not see dock connector replacement but you can ask them.

Connecting 5G iPod using the dock

Hi,I'm looking at getting the new enhanced 5G iPod. Can I use the original dock I have with my 4G iPod with the dock adapters?
iPod 4th gen, 40gb, iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

Yes, if you have the 5G's universal dock adapter

Does the dock connector give a signal OUT

I'm thinking of buying a CD head unit for my car, that plays MP3s/WMA and has a USB and Aux in. I understand that the headphone jack gives an inferior signal (it's slightly affected by circuitry or something). The seller has told me that the dock connector to USB will not only carry the music, but will charge the ipod.
So, this post title says it all, can the dock connector send the music to the USB?

There are a number if you look on ebay. The one I'm looking at is from Virtual Reality Soundlabs - the VRCD300. About £75 in the Uk or $100 in the US. The manufacturers tell me that the USB will plays Mp3s (nut not wma or aac) from the ipod.

Output level of the dock connector

Hi, when I plug a remote control or if a use a dock station using the dock connector, the output level of my Ipod are very low. I put the volume level at 100% but it sound like the volume was at 50%. I'm not using the max volume setting.
Someone else have this problem?

I had the same problem and found the following solution:
1)In Itunes I chose all my song (CTRL+A)
2)Under the file tab choose show info (or simply press CTRL+I)
3)Chosse the settings tab folder
4) Adjust the volume
Your computer will then update all your song - in my case 3000 wich took 15 minutes. Then I connected the Ipod who basically transferred all the songs again which took about 40 minutes.
When i plugged it in to the docking station the volume is much higher, and the amplifier in the Ipod will not distort the music. (If this does not work - check that sound control is turned off on your Ipod settings.)

How do you get sound through the dock connector to a PC or Mac?

Where I work they have blocked the Pandora website. (Along with just about every other online radio site.) They don't mind if we listen to music, as long as it's not streamed online through their network.
I have both a PC & a Mac on my desk.
What I would like to do is listen to my Pandora app from my iPhone by plugging the dock connector into a Mac or PC. This would keep the battery drain to a minimum & allow for better quality.
When I plug in the dock connector the phone starts charging & iTunes want's to sync. I can run the Pandora app, but no sound comes through the computer.
Does anyone know how to get the audio to come from the dock connector & play through the computers sound card?

You have several choices:
1. Composite AV Cable: has a dock connector on one end and USB, RCA line out and RCA composite video on the other. It also comes with an AC Adaptor.
2. Component AV Cable: same as the Composite AV Cable but with RCA component video.
3. Universal Dock: has a dock connector socket on it and a line out socket.
4. iPhone 3G Dock or the (original iPhone Dock): same as the Universal Dock but designed just for the iPhone.
All you need is somewhere to plug the line out into.

Orange crusty stuff in the dock connector!

Hi,
Earlier today my iPhone 4's home button decided to play up until it decided to stop completely. A few minutes after this, my phone kept on saying 'This Accesory is not compatable with iPhone' or something like this. SO... I connected the phone to my Mac to do a restore and just as iTunes was about to restore the phone, it said the phone wasn't connected. I unplugged the phone and now there is some orange cursty stuff in the dock connector and on the cable and the phone is extremely hot even after disconnecting it. Does anyone know what this could be? And also my warranty ran out on the 25th July

Sounds like corrosion. I suppose it's possible the battery could be leaking. You may want to take it in. If you're really nice to the genius, they may replace it for you. An out of Warranty replacement is $199.
It could just be corrosion. Clean it out good with a dry toothbrush. If something is shorting the dock connector, it might explain the heat. Also, check all of your cables and docking accessories for signs of rust.
