Alarm clock/dock station

I have a dock station wich is a alarm clock from iHome. It used to work fine, but now that updated my iphone to ios6 it's not charging anymore and it doesn't recognize music as alarm clock. What should i do?

It would help to know which model iPod you have, since some docking accessories only work with the recent iPod. The 5th gen "video" iPod and the iPod nano seem to be the dividing line between new and old iPods.

HT4972 since update to IOS 5.1.1 - problem with iluv IMM173 DUAL DOCK ALARM CLOCK DOCKING STATION. - CRASHES WHENEVER UPDATED IPHONE 4S CONNECTED

Hi, since most recent update (IOS 5.1.1) to my iphone 4s, I am experiencing problems(ONLY SINCE MOST RECENT IOS 5.1.1.UPDATE) with my 'iluv' IMM173 DUAL DOCK ALARM CLOCK DOCKING STATION.
Every time I connect my iphone it causes the docking station to crash/freeze and become totally non-responsive. However, if I remove my iphone, then connect my wife's
iphone 4 (IOS 5.0.10) The docking station then syncs time and date as normal with the iphone, and reverts back to function normally.
Has anyone else experienced the problem please, and if so, is there a remedy ?

1. I cannot open my camera from the home screen. The icon is there but when you click on it it shakes and starts to open up but than slides down back to the home screen. I have tried closing the camera app resetting my phone but nothing seems to fix it. I can still open up the camera regularly by unlocking the phone first and than going to the camera app. But the camera button on the home screen just doesn't work for me anymore. I know with 5.1 they made it where it wont disappearing from the home screen so my guess is the issue must be related to that somehow.
From the locked screen, swipe the camera icon upwards to open the camera app. This is a new feature in 5.1.

Help, since my update to my Iphone 4, it will no longer charge on my alarm clock docking station. The station I purchased four months ago from Target.

It will still charge my ipod,but not my iphone. I keep getting a message on my phone when I put it on the dock, saying that it is not supported by this divise. Please help. I am not going to go out and spend another 35.00 on an alarm clock when this one works perfectly fine, my phone is just being picky. Please help.

Talk to Toyota. The fault is in their in-car system. Talk to Toyota corporate. The dealers are clueless. Your system needs to be updated.

Are any radio/alarm clock docking stations with a lightning connector coming out soon?

I've had the iPhone 5 for a while now, and I've been waiting for a product like the iHome to come out with the lightning connector. However, I haven't heard or seen any news about this. Is anybody aware of any products coming out?

iHome already makes docks that support the Lightning connector:

Any indicators for 3rd party Radio alarm clock docks and iPhone 5?

Has Apple created any guidelines for the iPhone 5 when using an older radio alarm clock dock, using the lightning to 30 pin adapter ? My iPad is no problem, but my iPhone 5 (when I have it in hand) might be. Any ideas?

For Apple to see this you need to repost it at

Alarm clock dock speeding up music

Hey folks.
Got a new iPhone 4 8GB running on iOS 5.0.1 stock and an iPod touch 2nd Gen 32GB running jailbroken 3.1.2.
Both these devices, when the alarm goes off with music, the music is slightly faster then normal. Somewheres between 1.1X-1.25X the speed of what the song should be. (checked with friends, they notice it too, so I'm not crazy!) This happens on both devices, been happening on the ipod for probably a month or two, just got the iphone a few days ago. Restored the iPhone after noticing the issue is still happening, and it made no effect.
This only happens when the alarm goes off with the devices connected, and will actually still continue to happen on the devices themselves for anywheres from 4hours-2 days. I don't power off or power cycle my devices daily and can't figure out what stops the song speed up from happening.
I hit the reset pinhole switch on the bottom of the alarm clock, then took out the power cable and batteries, left it like that for an hour. Still happening after.

That is the alarm clock there, I honestly cannot figure this out. Been poking Google and Bing but nothing yet. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and take the iPods and dock.
If you look at the dock connectors on the iPods do they look damaged? Like bend contact or broken plastic pieces?
Also, are you fully seating the iPods in the dock?

I home alarm clock dock damaging ipod

My daughter has gone through 3 ipods in 4 months now. She puts her ipod into the ihome dock to either listen to music or charge it. It works for about 3-4 weeks and then from one day to the next, she takes it out of ihome and the ipod completely stops working. What is going on?

My Ipod got wet, now it will only power up when on docking station, is there anything I can do to fix it?

My Ipod got ran through a washing machine. I let it sit in a bag of rice for one week before trying to power it up or plug it in. When I place the Ipod on radio/alarm clock docking station the Ipod will power up and I am able to access what is on it, but it will reset itself every few minutes. Also it will not charge whil on the dock. I tried plugging it into the computer but it will not power up or register on the computer. Is there anything I can do to fix it at this point?

- After being connected tot a charging source for half an hour, reset the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect the iPod to your computer and and if it shows in iTunes restore the iPOd.
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow you to restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Sorry I missed that you said you dried it in your first post.

Docking/Using as alarm clock

Hi all,
This is my first post here so I apologise if I seem a bit simple - I've only had my iPhone 3G 8 days.
I'm looking for a number of accessories for my iPhone. I have the case and the car adaptor sorted but would like a dock.
What I need in my dock -
- Good looks
- Good sound Quality
- An alarm clock (hopefully which can use any of the tunes on my iPhone for the alarm)
- Is compatible with the iPhone 3G (no airplane mode or incompatibilites leading to no charging)
- Generally quite easy to use but not too simple either (much like the iPhone not a simple system but very easy to use)
All your recommendations welcome,
Thanks

Posted below is the link to all the audio dock speaker sets that work with iPhone 3G

As far for as which are easy to use and get the most done. Not anyone I can really recommend. It depends on the budget you have set. And what features you are looking for in the long run. Most if not all of them seem to charge the iPhone while it is docked.
There are a couple Alarm clock based stations listed below that I found.

Which iPhone dock/alarm clock do you recommend?

Which, in your opinion, is the best small form factor iPhone alarm clock dock? I'm trying to decide between the following...
SoundFreaq Sound Rise
Soundfreaq > Sound Rise
iHome iD37
iHome iD37 Dual Alarm Stereo Clock Radio for your iPad/iPhone/iPod with FM Preset Station Memory
Panasonic RC-DC1
Panasonic RC-DC1 - RC-DC1 Clock Radio with iPod Dock - Overview

I would use the iHome better speaker too and looks nice

Ipod nano 2nd gen and dock/alarm clock

i have read through alot of the posts and have not seen anything similar to my question.
i got my daughter an ipod nano for xmas.
we really dont leave the computer on alot and she was wanting a docking station/speaker setup. i found one that charges it/ has speakers and is also an alarm clock.
she likes the idea of having the alarm clock with it.
this is the model she got: curtis iMode ip210 link to where it was bought http://hhgregg.com/ProductDetail.asp?SID=0B568914D18A4CBEB2E80A95E8C46043&Produc tID=17180
we have not hooked it up yet because of a small problem maybe. (hooked up to power that is)
it came with a bunch of different adapters for the different ipod versions. well the nano one is incorrect. i guess due to ours being a 2nd gen version.
the ipod goes right on the dock fine with out it.
the little plastic adapter i got with the ipod kinda works in the slot of the radio but would need a little modification to snap in. the difference is the outside shape and would just needed some sanding. i have called the support number for the radio and all i could get from the was its not compatable. and i am not too sure why.
from what i have found out is all the ipod dock connectors are the same and there is no difference. not sure about this just what i have noticed.
i tried to call my local apple store and ask them but that guy started talking about firewire and problems. i told him how it docked and what it was and he still insisted on talking about firewire and those problems. i hung up as it didnt sound like he knew anything.
so now would i be ok in useing the adapter i got with the ipod and makeing some slight mods(sanding outside edge) to it. or is the something totally different between the 1st gen and 2nd gen that would mess up the ipod if put in this unit.
the reason i want this unit as it will replace her current alarm clock and she has a loft bed and its the only unit that we have seen that will fit and is in our price range.
thank you for your help

ipod nano 2nd gen Windows XP

The dock adaptor that came with the iPod is meant to fit Apple's universal dock and not a 3rd party accessory.
The reason you are having issues is because although the dock connectors on iPods are all the same (the pins are in the same place), the connector on the second gen nano is in a slightly different place than on the first. If you look at it from the bottom with the iPod face up, it's slightly more to the left. This, and the fact that it has a metal case with rounded edges, has made the new nano incompatible with almost all these type of accessories.
It's been mentioned here several times, and a few people have been able to get the manufacturer of the dock to supply them with an adaptor.

Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

Any App or plug-in that does that?

Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
1. In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
2. Export the playlist (as .m3u works well). Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
3. In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
4. Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
5. For "alarm" select Open File.
6. Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open. It will probably be some default entry (like iCal). Click on it will allow you to select "other." Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time. You don't need to keep iCal running. If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do. Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button. Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

Looking for a good sound dock/alarm clock for iPOD Touch 4

I saw one other post asking about a sound dock here and out of the 3 responses, I think only the Bose was mentioned.
I was just curious if and/or what sound dock/alarm clock combos you all would recommend? I just got a hold of the White Noise app and I would like to be able to use it through a sound dock in my bedroom as I sleep with a fan at night and the audio output on the iPOD Touch itself is not loud enough.
I don't want to spend an arm and a leg either on a sound dock/alarm clock if at all possible.
Thanks,
Whiteice

Altec Lansing. Im using the 'inMotion compact' and for its size it gives a h*ll of a punch with bass wise. As for as price goes, its reasonable.
