Alarm/Clock radio

I'm trying to find a clock radio that is compatible with the Ipod Nano (the one I found said it was compatible with the mini, gen2,3,&4)-Does the Nano fit one of these categories? What is the purpose of the docking adapter that came in the box?
If you've heard of a compatible clock/radio that contains station pre-sets , please let me know.

I'm a first time iPod user (nano). I found this info on the web: Dock Adapters enable any iPod model to connect to the iPod Universal Dock and other products that use the Universal Dock system. You simply insert the Dock Adapter that fits your particular iPod model into the Dock, then plug in your iPod. When you want to connect a different-size iPod, simply pop out the Dock Adapter and insert a new one. Compatible with iPod nano.
That said, I'm not sure if the adapter is backwards compatible or is a standard set for Nano and future iPods.
Now maybe you can answer a question for me. I've been searching for a clock radio w/ iPod doc that has the feature of being able to set two separate alarms. Have you come across any?

  • Curtis iMode IP200 iPod alarm clock radio- will it fit the classic?

    Hey everyone! I currently just bought the 80gb ipod classic. I have a Curtis iMode IP200 iPod alarm clock radio that fits my old 4g ipod and I was wondering if the classic is suppose to fit in it. It doesn't seem to which is disappointing because I do like the clock. It came with lots of adaptors and I have the adaptor that came with my classic but it is not fitting. It looks like it can fit though...I don't much about the universal dock but will that make my classic fit this clock? or is the universal dock just another ipod charger... Thank-you.

    The Extreme Mac Luna will do 1, 2, 3, and 5. Not many other radio docking stations will get close. Most don't even recognize the iphone3g. I was lucky enough to already have the ExtremeMac clock radio when I got my iPhone... it's white, has dual alarms, charges but does give you that error message and tells you to put the iphone in airplane mode. I never do, and it clicks a little when a call comes through, but I can live with that.

  • Any alarm clock/radios that work for iP4?

    Looking to purchase a alarm clock radio but wasn't sure which ones are compatible with the iP4. I have a few in the house in the kids room that won't charge or work with iphone but works fine with ipod. Any suggestions?

    I have a Sony clock radio that I purchased when I got my 3G. It still works with my IP4, it also obviously worked with my 3GS.

  • 3rd Gen Nano-Problems with iPod Clock Radio.

    Hey All,
    I'm having problems w/new Nano and an Alarm Clock Radio for iPods.
    1) When the alarm time is reached, the iPod display lights up like its been triggered, by the alarm clock base, but music doesn't play. The unit then reverts to the beeper.
    2) The unit is made by SDI Technologies, the same people that make the iHome models of Alarm Clock radioes. They've told me that Apple needs to come out w/an update/fix.
    3) Does that sound right to all of you?
    Has anyone heard about a time frame for a revision past 1.0.1?
    Thanks, Tom

    Thanks GunnerJr,
    I had an appt. at my local Apple store yesterday. The guy was helpful but felt that it indeed was a firmware issue that was occurring. He couldn't say when the next update would be rolled out but said they're pretty frequent based on prior Apple products.
    Apparently the redesign of the Nano is from the ground up and very thorough. The firmware in the clock radio is probably kind of dated back to some time in '06. Hopefully the software/QA people will get wind of this issue and arite it into a future update. Certainly not the biggest issue they'll deal with but hopefully sooner rather than later.

  • Looking for a clock radio

    Hello!
    I recently purchased an iPod Touch. I am now looking for a alarm clock/radio dock to use with it. I have purchased two, one Jensen and one iHome, and neither have a full function remote, i.e. you can use the menu feature and change artists ect.
    Anyone have any suggestions?
    thanks in advance

    I just looked up the iHome 9 and it shows a pic of the ipod touch in the example... and the description mentions the remote controls the menus. Looks like I have found a winner! thanks for your help!!!

    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 from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
    Any App or plug-in that does that?
    Many thanks

    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.

  • 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 with Radio on 6230i

    Hi,
    Has anyone used the alarm clock function with the radio to wake you in the morning/evening..?
    Is it possible to use the alarm to play the radio for 15 mins and turn it off say to go to sleep with. The kinda opposite of snooze.??
    Gratful for any info..or 3rd party app maybe?
    Crispy

    No honest ...try it! :-)
    I use it all the time as a morning wakeup alarm! I just wanted to know if it would do the opposite...can't find it yet but I'm sure it would..I suppose I will have to develop the app for it!
    This phone has hidden depths and I don't think there is anyone that knows it fully yet...

  • Internet radio alarm clock

    Is there a way to get the alarm clock to play a internet radio station or a podcast instead of a mp3? I have saved a .RAM of a webstream to my phone but alarm clock does not seem to want to play it.
    I think this would be a really good feature and not too hard to implement.

    i don't know if this has been brought up before but anyways on the topics of docks...i am getting the bose dock for christmas. but i wish someone would make a cable that would connect your ipod to your dock because i am almost positive that i will need to take my ipod out of its case to put it in the dock. i believe that if i am willing to fork out 300 dollars for an ipod and another 300 for a sound dock that i shouldn't have to take the case off of my ipod to listen to it.

  • Is there an alarm clock app that will launch Pandora Radio?

    Looking for an alarm clock iPad app that will launch the Pandora Radio app.  Any ideas?

    I don't believe that would be possible for any developer to create. iOS sandboxes apps from each other, so an app would probably have to include a player for Pandora within itself rather than trying to launch another app. I don't see any such apps in the iTunes Store, ones that include Pandora access with an alarm clock function, but I could easily have missed something.

  • 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.

  • My iPhone 4S is not charging when plugged into clock radio. What's wrong?

    So about a week ago, I docked my iPhone 4S into my Sony ICF-C7iP clock radio as I do every evening before going to bed. I bought this clock radio back in August and have had no problems with it at all. However this time, I noticed my phone was not charging. It didn't make the charging beep nor did it show on the display that it was charging. I tried removing it & re-seating it...nothing. I tried rebooting my phone which resulted in the same problem. When I plug my iPhone into either a standard sync cable or an iPhone dock, it charges/syncs as normal.
    Suspecting the problem was with the alarm clock, I contacted Sony support. The clueless support rep on the other line suggested I return the clock in exchange for a refurbished one. For a $60 clock, this was more trouble than it was worth, so I decided against it.
    I then decided to purchase an iHome iA9 which was sure to work. I just unpacked it and set it up. When I docked the iPhone on it...you guessed it...nothing. It is still not charging. The funny thing is that the iPhone will play music through the iHome with no problems. I had also tried plugging the iHome into a different outlet with no luck either. I am out of ideas. I am left to assume that for some reason, my phone does no longer like charging when docked on to an alarm clock.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how I can get this to work again? I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1 and honestly don't know if that would have anything to do with it. But the likelihood of 2 completely different clock radios exhibiting the same problem is virtually non-existent.
    As mentioned, I tried rebooting the phone with no luck. Docking the phone to a standard charging cable plugged into the wall charges the phone fine. Docking the phone on an iPhone compatable dock charges the phone fine. Is the problem with my phone?
    Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    Tim, I was speaking generally. Obviously the iOS upgrade didn't remove the ability to charge on ALL 3rd party devices, else my iH9 wouldn't charge it either.
    What I just can't understand is how an old iHome model works just fine with a new iPhone, yet a new iHome model will not. If anything, I would think it would be the other way around.
    Anyway, I emailed iHome explaining my situation and I asked if they had planned on releasing a firmware update to fix the problem. I got the typical generic response about unplugging the iHome & removing the batteries for an hour then trying again. And if that doesn't work, send it in for repair in which I would need to pay for the shipping.
    If I decide to go that route, I think it's just going to be a waste of time as I would get the iHome back "repaired" and it would have the exact same problem. But I guess I'll never know until I try.
    I remember reading on these forums about several others having the same problem. So what are the odds that the iHomes these other people got who are experiencing the same problem are problematic as well? Unless the "repair" iHome is referring to is a firmware update, I don't really buy into this.

  • IOS5 doesn't work with clock radio/speaker accessory

    Since I upgraded the software to IOS5, my clock radio/speaker doesn't work anymore with my iPhone. Before, music would play through the speakers when connected, and the iPhone turned on at the alarm time with playing songs from the songlist. Anyone have a solution to this?

    I am in similar situation,
    My Panasonic sc-sp100 deck worked fine before, upgraded ios5 now it plays etc but will NOT charge.  Perfect before. I now have to go back to the old fashioned wire.
    Has to be a software sensing issue as the deck recognised IPhone but will not switch to accept power.
