60GB iPod Photo & Bose Sound Dock

Just bought the 60GB iPod photo...I also own the Bose Sound Dock. Noticed that there is no 60GB adapter with the Sound Dock...in searching the web, it seems folks are using the adapter marked 20 GB / 40 GB, but that the fit is a snug. Is this the way to go? I'm hesitant to try it without any direction. Is there no 60GB adapter available?

I don't know about the Bose SoundDock. But I had been using my 3G 30GB iPod (which I believe is at least as thick as the 60GB iPod color) with my Altec Lansing iM3 without using any adapter and it works.

My Ipod Touch is giving a error message of 'This accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' whenever I dock it in my Bose Sound Dock and refuses to play but will charge the device?? am screaming mad and want to be able to play audio thru using the 2

my ipod touch will not play music thru the Bose sound dock and displays the message 'this accessory is not supported by iPod Touch' how can I fix it?

"This accessory is not supported" usually refers to an inability to charge the iPod, but the music should still play throguh the Bose dock. My iPod Touch works this way.
However, when the Bose refuses to make any sound, I unplug it from mains power for one minute. Then plug it back in and try again. This always sorts out the sound issue, but of course, it still will not charg the Touch.
What happens in your case?

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."

Since latest iTunes update my iPod Classic no longer plays in Bose Sound Dock - how can I fix?

My iPod Classic charges, but no longer has sound when plugged into my Bose Sound Dock. I have tried resetting my iPod per troubleshooting instructions on both the Apple and Bose websites. I have not had any issues with speakers before. This problem began after plugging iPod into MacBook Pro and updating iTunes. I have turned both devices off (unplugged Sound Dock from power source) and tried other outlets and still am unable to get sound from Sound Dock despite the fact that it still charges the iPod. iPod works with Bose headphones, but no longer in Sound Dock. Help! Is this fixable?

First make sure your Bose Sound Dock is turn on, and pick the right input of source.
Have you tried to increase the volume of your Bose system ?
If still does not solve, then do a Restore (not reset) for your iPod, which will erase your iPod completely and sync with your iTunes once again.
Then reconnect it with your Bose sound dock, if it still does not work, likely it can be a problem of your Bose.

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!

I purchased the 5s yesterday and wanted to dock the phone into my Bose Sound Dock that I use for my IPOD and used for my previous Apple smart phone. What steps do I need to take to use the feature of Pandora on this IPOD dock

I purchased a Apple 5s yesterday replacing my two year old Apple 3G. With my old phone I used it to dock into a Bose Sound Dock to listen to Pandora and other music outlets. The Bose dock also is used to play my IPOD. What steps do I need to take to use my new phone on this dock to continue playing Pandora

This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
1. Meet the following requirements:
* Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
* The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
* The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
* The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
* Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

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.

Listening to ipod touch (2g) on Bose sound dock

I am trying to decide on purchasing the new ipod touch. From reading this forum I understand that the ipod touch 2g will not charge on the old Bose sound dock. Does anyone know if it will even play through the speakers on the sound dock and if this would damage the ipod? Thanks in advance for any information.

Thanks so much for the reply helifreak. Based on what you said I purchased the ipod touch. I can confirm that is does play on my old bose sound dock. As previously stated it will not charge though. I can't comment on if listening to the ipod on the bose is damaging my ipod but it seems fine so far.

I have the portable BOSE sound dock and after updating my ipod to ios7 the remote control of the dock only works for the volume but doesnt work for skipping songs....Is there a solution to this?

Have you went to Bose"s support site?
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However, sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you will have to wait for an firmware update for the Bose or an iOS update.

Help needed - bose sound dock problems after update

I recently updated my iphone 3GS to the new iOS5 update and ever since then, it will not play music through my bose sound dock and it won't even charge. Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so, is there a solution yet? Seems like an expensive waste of kit to have my bose sitting there lifeless!
Thanks for your help!

Im experiencing the same problem with my ipod touch not playing through my bose soundock! How do I fix it? Please help

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?

My new Bose sound dock will not charge my itouch

my new Bose sound dock will not charge my itouch Has anyone heard of this problem and it there a better speaker system out there that will charge my itouch ??

I just got one for Xmas and it works great.
Bose confirmed this in an email:
Hello Mr. XXXXX:
The iPod® Touch models are compatible with existing SoundDock® digital music system inserts. If your SoundDock system came with two universal inserts, then use the A insert for the 8GB and 16GB iPod Touch models.
If your SoundDock system came packaged with five inserts, order a new set of universal inserts by emailing us the SoundDock serial number and color, your daytime telephone number, and UPS shipping address. We will send you a set of universal inserts at no charge.
Thank you for contacting Bose Corporation.

Bose Sound Dock for the 5th generation

Is there an adapter for the Bose Sound Dock for the use of the 5th generation iPods ??.
thanks
Jorge R.

Johnny, this is a really bad idea to post on a thread that is 2 months old, if I hadn't had the e-mail response turned on I never would have know about your post. It's ALWAYS MUCH BETTER to start your own thread instead of posting on such an old thread.
I had a 3G iPod when I bought the Bose. The 5G docks in the Bose without any dock adaptor at all. I even dock in the Bose with my agent18 case on. Hope this helps! Again, next time please start a new thread!!!!

Bose Sound Dock

I have an older bose sound dock, will the 30 pin adapter work?

Not on the very original Sound Dock but then little works on that
newer than the HD iPods post the removal of firewire charging

60Gb iPod Photo with Olympus 8080

Gearing up to buy a 60Gb iPod Photo and wonder what I will need to dock it with my Olympus 8080 and download photos from the Compact Flash card into the iPod Photo. Can someone point me in the right direction as to the options to achieve this.
Thanks a bunch in advance.

Just to report back in order to hopefully help others with the same query. I purchased an iPod Camera Connector (M9861G/A) and can now import pics from the 8080 through the adapter and USB cable that came with the camera directly to iPod. It works a treat...........
