4.3 not compatible with Bose sound dock

I updated iPhone 3GS to 4.2 then 4.3 last week and I now get an error about incompatible product when I plug it in to my new Bose sound dock 10 (and I get no sound).before the updates it worked fine. My wife has the same phone still running 4.0.1 and hers still works fine. Any suggestions?
Perhaps apple would like to refund my $1000 spent on the sound dock

I am not sure about the certification you are talking about (will check) spoke to both apple phone support and BOSE support. Neither had heard about it or come across it. Apple suggested to contact BOSE and see if there was an update (which can't be done) - Spoke to BOSE and at least they were going to get someone who had an Iphone 3gs to update theirs and do a test. I did visit the apple reseller where I purchased the sound dock and they were no help stating they had no way of logging anything with apple. tried the iphone in another sound dock 10 which did exactly the same thing.

After installing the latest iOS update, my iPhone 4S is no longer compatible with Bose Sound Dock...any suggestions?

After I installed the latest iOS update, neither mine, nor my wife's iPhone work on our 12 month old Bose Sounddock...any suggestions?

You can use the stereo input on the Bose.

IPhone 5 doesn't work with Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter.

I just upgraded to iPhone 5. To my huge disappointment, I can not use it with my Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter. That is just ridiculous, after spending so much money!!! I tried using another cable and it works but sound is of poor quality

I have the SoundDock 10 and generally use the Bluetooth connection.
I have just reinserted the 30 pin normal socket ( as in normal SoundDock)
the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter and with iPhone 5 have perfect
sound
It works so something in your set up is faulty possibly the adapter
some have posted issues

Problem with bose sound dock 2 series and iOS 5.1.1

Hi everyone i just bought a bose sound dock 2 series,is made for iphone 4 and 4s but with ios 5.1.1. but doesnt work..how could be possible?Dock is ok but i cant hear the music from my iphone 4!!I spent 400 euro!!!
Please help me!!!
Thanks in advance

From what I have read on this discussion boards so far, it sounds as though Bose was using the 12v firewire charging circuit on there Sound Dock and not the recommended 5v charging circuit that Apple told all of its licensed accessory manufactures to start using,when Apple changed the syncing of iPods from firewire to USB2, a few years ago.
The firmware update has now enforced charging via the 5v circuit and those manufactures that ignored Apple specifications, are now faced with end users, asking those manufactures for a fix, (not Apple.) This has been a well known road map between the accessory manufactures and Apple, for at least 3 to 4 years now.
Here's the funny part, even apples own HiFi system breaks there own rules and doesn't charge, you would think they would follow there own guidelines, wouldn't you?

Nano suddenly not playing on Bose Sound Dock

I tried to play my Nano on my Bose Sound Dock today and it suddenly won't play. It has worked fine up until today. When I set it up, it would say that it wouldn't charge, which I understand, but it would always play. Now, there is no sound whatsoever. Any ideas?

I had this problem a lot and found that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, but here is what I did just plugged the dock in and then it worked. maybe to do with battery.
Thanks

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

Mac Pro did not paire With Bose Sound Link!

COuld not pairing Bluetooth between Mac Pro and Bose Sound Link?

I forgot to mention that I followed the same instructions that did solve the problem.
The things I tried were:
1. turning off wi-fi
2. closing all apps
Doing this however did not solve my problem either.

Ipod all of a sudden not communicating with Bose sound system

I am having trouble with my ipod communicating with my Bose music system. First off please let me mention that I have tried all troubleshooting procedures for both the ipod and the Bose system and nothing has help. I do believe that it is a malfunction with my ipod as my spouse has an iphone and it works like a charm while connected to the Bose system. Up until about two weeks ago I was able to enjoy my music without earphones or the ipod hooked to me, now I'm back to hooking the ipod and earphones up. About two weeks ago while my ipod was connected to the Bose system it started changing songs half way through and if I tried to control it by remote, buttons on the dock or the ipod controls it would just freeze up and no sound would come out. I am unable to forward to another song, change volume or even turn it on and off while docked in the Bose system. This problem just started before that I had no trouble with this. I have the latest update for my ipod so I shouldn't be having this trouble. I have turned it on and off and the same for the Bose system and have followed all the troubleshoothing tips and nothing has been resolved. As I said before my spouse's iphone works excellent on the dock this only happens with my ipod. With that said I am still able to listen to the music with the earphones with no problems.
Another problem I have noticed is that not all my songs that are downloaded to my ipod are visiable for me to select. Certain songs I have to search for as I cannot select them from title, artist, album, etc..
Please help me as it would be nice to enjoy my music without the ipod and earphone connected to me.

Try Resetting the iPod
After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the next step
Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON
Then release the buttons
Select your preferred language.
Here is the Apple support Article on the 5Rs
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
If the above doesn't work, it could be the earphone jack has been shorted, or clogged up and putting the Dock also in mute. This maybe repaired by 3rd Party iPod service.
Have a nice day!

ITouch iOS 6.1.3 not supported with bose iPod dock

We just had a Bose lifestyle v35 system installed in our home. The system sounds great and works seamlessly with all products except my iTouch V 5, iOS 6.1.3. The problem is not a faulty dock because earlier versions of iPod work quickly as described in product manuals. I have tried 2 different Lightning to 30 pin adapter. Both are Apple products. Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, did you find a solution? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

The Apple Lightning to 30 pin adopter supports audio.

This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.

6th generation nano not compatible w/Bose docking station

My 6th generation nano is not compatible with Bose docking station. Is there a solution?

Bose Sound Docks are no longer compatible with Apple iPhones or iPods?

When plugging my iPhone 4S or 5, or my iPod 3rd Gen or 7th Gen into my Bose Sound Dock, I recieve a message that reads, "This iPhone/iPod is not compatible with this accessory" and will not play stored music.
Background Info:
     - The Bose Sound Dock was designed to support Apple products.
     - All software/OS on the Apple products is current as of Dec 2013.
     - The Bose product doesn't have update-able software associated with it.
     - Clearly, something has changed with the Apple products.
What can be done to fix this so that iPhones and iPods will play again on Bose products?
I've unplugged/replugged the Bose Sound Dock, and I've powered down and powered up the Apple products expecting that something would reset, but these steps have proved to be ineffective and nothing has changed.

Ok, I was having the same issue which is why I came across this post (in search of an answer). I MAY have figured it out...I have an iPod, don't-remember-what generation, and it has always worked with my Bose sound dock portable speaker, approx 2-3 years. Anyway, a few months ago, the Bose stopped picking up that I "docked" my iPod onto it. A long while has gone by and we haven't done anything about it bc our speaker was out of warranty and didn't want to spend the $100 it costs to repair (thru Bose, don't know about other places $, but I've learned the hard way to stick to manufacturer for high-end brand device repair). Long story short, we really missed using our speaker outside and I decided to send it in instead of buying a new one (new one-year warranty comes with the repair, so I figured it was $100 cheaper than buying a new one). An added note, we tried putting my husbands iPhone 4S on the dock and it didn't read it, either; the Bose didn't charge either device, didn't acknowledge in anyway that a device was on the dock attachment piece. Back to present day... I got my speaker back from Bose, and I was so happy to try it out. I put my iPod on the attachment, and voila! It charged the iPod (so clearly it registered that a device was attached), but DID NOT PLAY MUSIC....Exact same message about incompatibility. So, when my husband got home, we tried his phone (this is last week, literally, and I was mad thinking it was the recent apple software update and that I just threw away $100). Guess what? His phone worked! Pandora, his music, you name it. When I called Bose and suggested it could be a software update issue? They replied it wasn't, that the sound dock works with the devices after update, but the piece was still bad, as it was not working correctly if it was not playing the iPod, regardless of the new update, and/or what generation it was. So my thoughts are that it is the attachment where you sit your device on the Bose that has gone faulty. I packaged up my speaker and it's going backs to Bose at their expense to repair. It stinks that I won't have it for Christmas to play music as we enjoy the outdoors, but at this point, I will just be content if they get it to work again!

Bose confirmed this in an email:

Sony iPod Dock Not Compatible with iOS 4

I play a 3GS through a Sony HD-radio with a dock on the top. Upgrading the 3GS to 4.0 resulted in a popup that says "this accessory is not compatible with iPhone." It was yesterday - now it isn't. Apple: Did you break accessory compatibility on purpose? If not, will you please fix?
Message was edited by: Four to the Side

I invested in a nice expensive Sony wireless speakers sound system with an iphone dock. Worked perfectly until the stupid 4.0 update came out, and now it brings out the same stupid error message all the time and I can't play any streaming media, on the sound system, which was the main reason I bought the originally compatible sound system. Great job apple !! They are trying to expand too fast, and now they are producing mediocre products ! I am really upset about this ! I just want to downgrade the **** software back to 3.1 and then never update it again :?

Why doesn't my Bose Sound Dock work with my iPod Touch?

I have a Bose Sound Dock, purchased about 2006 or 7. It worked fine with the 5th gen iPod Classic, but will not work with the iPod Touch. Does anyone know why?
Thanks!

Very likely because it does not comunicate with iOS devices. The "dumb" iPods do not use iOS but a very simple OS instead. The first iPod Touch came out in Sept 2007.
