Boombox or Dock w/Skrs and Charger compatible with 5th Gen Nano?

So I'm trying to research devices that are COMPLETELY compatible with the 5th Gen Nano. Please don't recommend the Apple store as I do not find the compatibility information I seek (most manufacturers only claim w.r.t. music playback).
Most all 3rd party devices that are "compatible" will play 5th gen Nano music through speakers (of course - what would be the point otherwise), but if they possess a charging feature, they were designed and manufactured well before Apple changed the connector arrangement on the 5th Gen Nano, and so will not charge.
Has anyone compiled a list of devices that are compatible both in terms of music playback and charging with the 5th gens?
Thanks.

It's good to know someone like yourself has both 4th and 5th gen and can definitely state they charge the same (I am assuming with the same USB cable).
So - theoretically, if I find a device that will both charge a 4th gen and playback a 4th gen, it will do the same with the 5th gen? I think this is what you are implying. That is what I am hoping.
I cannot find this in writing, and I suspect some of the devices on the Apple Store will not play but NOT charge a 4th gen nano, so the same will be true of the 5th gen.
OK, price-point is less than $100... portable (plays on battery) or AC powered. WILL charge a 5th gen nano. Nice if it had a remote. OK if it has a clock. OK if it has a FM tuner (how would one use the Ipod to tune FM if the earphones were not connected (used as an antenna)?
Thank you.

  • With 5th gen nano, how to display album artwork during playback at all times, it stays on for a few seconds and then the screen goes black? Is there a way to play and see artwork, at all times (using with a aux. speaker)

    I have a 5th gen nano, and I play it often on a aux. speaker. I would like the album artwork to display at all times while playing it here. Right now it plays for a few seconds on each song, and then goes blank. Can this be changed?

    The artwork turns black or the screen's backlight turns off?  If the backlight turns off, simply disable the backlight timer, but keep in mind this will significantly reduce your iPod's playback time and battery life.

  • Syncing and Charging Problem with 1st gen iPod nano

    I purchased a 1st generation iPod nano via eBay about 3 months ago and have developed an interesting syncing and charging problem.  When I plug the nano to my iMac, frequently neither the computer nor iTunes will recognize it.  I have done "the five R's" with occasional success.  I've tried jiggling the cable in the computer port and sometimes it works in getting iTunes to recognize the nano, sometimes it doesn't.  Even when I am able to get iTunes to recognize the nano, I have frequently found that the nano hasn't charged up at all.  In fact, a couple of times I found it almost totally drained of power after having been connected to my computer.  Yes, I have the most recent version of iTunes installed on my iMac and my iMac, by the way, is relatively new - having been purchased in May of this year.  What is interesting is that I've taken my nano to work and it has absolutely no problem charging up on my Dell (yuk!).  For the record, I do not have iTunes installed on my work computer and I am not allowed to add any apps to my work computer without the consent of my supervisor.  The chances of getting iTunes installed on my Dell at work are pretty much nil.  Any suggestions on how I can fix the problem?

    I bought a new USB dock connector and hoped, with fingers and toes crossed, that something positive would happen.  Sure enough, I was able to sync and recharge my old iPod nano.  I guess the original USB dock cable is on its last legs.  Not totally broken, but no longer reliable.  I consider my problem solved!    My thanks to everyone who took the time to read and try to solve my iPod problem.  I greatly appreciate it! 

  • Docking systems compatible with 4th Gen Nano?

    Can anyone give me a list of current docking stations on the market that are compatible with the new 4th generation Nano chrome? I'm looking to get one for my daughter who got one for Christmas. And, as many of you have mentioned, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that it is incompatible with my existing docking systems!
    Thanks.

  • Are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    are the newer ipod classics (80GB and above) compatible with docks for the older ipod classics (20GB)?)

    I have an iPod Touch 2 with iOS 4.2.1.  This is the highest version that works on this device.  I checked it once and it had to do with iOS 4.3 and above only supporting the higher RAM CPUs on newer devices.
    Apple does make it harder than it needs to be.  There still remain a number of apps available on iTunes that will work but they are hard to find because you must manually look at each app specs to see if the app supports an iOS below 4.3
    App backups are your friend since iTunes has no way to keep older version of apps.

    Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
    No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
    TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
    •  I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
    There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
    On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
    I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
    I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
    With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

  • Is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 keyboard and mouse compatible with mac mini?

    Hello, is the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business mouse and keyboard compatible with the mac mini computer? I tried using a generic mouse and the lights of the mouse were on, but I could not click or move the mouse around. Then when I plugged in a dell keyboard, it said the "keyboard is not identified". I could press buttons on the keyboard, but they werent being registered by the mac. I also tried changing my mouse's usb to a different port, but still did not work. So I am worried that the microsoft wired mouse + keyboard I ordered might not work on my mac mini. Is there a way to get my old keyboard and mouse to work at least?

    Were these other ones you tried Wired also? If so that's really strange!?
    Did you try rebooting with them connected?
    I see no reason for the Microsoft 5MH-00001 Wired Desktop 400 for Business to not work, but then any wired Generic KB should work!???

  • 5th gen nano stopped working and won't charge

    My 5th gen nano stopped working all of a sudden, and also won't charge.  Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Hi, I also have a 5th generation iPod nano. It is very old (or at least for technology), so the issue is most likely the battery. My advise would be to buy a newer generation iPod because it would most likely take more time/money to fix the problem than the iPod is worth. Check out the refurbished section of the Apple website, the prices are typically sufficiently lower than the price of a brand new iPod, but just as good. Thats how I get all my Apple products.

  • Is gtx770 and gtx780 compatible with 5.5 adobe master collection?

    Is gtx770 and gtx780 compatible with 5.5 adobe master collection?

    This is because the last released update for CS5.5 came out before the introduction of the GeForce 600-series GPUs. And Adobe usually tends to completely cease updating older software (CS6 is currently one of the few exceptions - and only for critical bug fixes, not to add new support) once the newer version is released. No driver version for the newer GeForce GPUs will ever fix or change that.
    So, basically, your CS5.5 is considered "EOL" (End Of Life), in the eyes of Adobe, once CS6 came out in May 2012.
    On the other hand, you can force MPE GPU acceleration to be enabled by default in CS5.5 or CS6 by simply deleting or renaming the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file. Do not simply blank out the contents of the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file without actually deleting the file; otherwise, the exact opposite would occur: Premiere would become locked to the MPE software-only mode even with a GPU that's officially supported for MPE GPU acceleration in Premiere.

  • Are Creative Cloud apps like InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC compatible with same in CS6?

    Are Creative Cloud apps like InDesignCC and PhotoshopCC compatible with same in CS6?

    If you mean the resulting files - no, InDesign CC files will not open in CS6. You need to explicitly save them back to the CS6 format from ID CC with all the sideeffects like potentialyl screwed up formatting. PS is a different matter. As long as PSD files are saved with maximum compatibility they will open up in pretty much any version of PS.

  • Three 5th gen nanos. One NOT recognized by itunes and computer; other 2 fine.

    I have 3 daughters and three 5th gen nanos. I use the same cord, plug and computer, and one is not being recognized by itunes or computer and will not charge; other 2 fine. Something wrong with just the one. Resetting (pressing menu and center until apple appears?) doesn't work. One daughter very SAD. Please help if you can.
    Oh, and I've also put it in disk mode. Still not recognized.

    I think I found the problem, and it may be useful to others. I cosely looked at the dock connector next to the earphone jack and found that it has a chip in it. Not good news for Gen 5 ipod nano's. Apparently, the connector is bonded to the logic board. I did find that if I gently put pressure on it in one directio or the other, it will make a connection.
    Must break the bad news to daughter. Sad face.

  • Compatible FM Transmitter for 5th gen nano

    Hello. I've tried my 5th gen nano on two different fm transmitters for car use, and a message comes on the nano's screen and says something like "charging not supported with this device", also, it will not play music over the transmitters, just the nano's internal speaker. Does anyone know of a compatible FM transmitter for this 5th gen nano?? Make and model would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Welcome to the Forums, Sarcophagus!
    Apple lists the following models as compatible:
    Griffin RoadTrip with SmartScan
    Griffin iTrip Auto with SmartScan
    Griffin iTrip AutoPilot
    Good luck!

  • WILL THE 1st GEN DOCK WORK WITH 2nd GEN NANO?

    as the title states.... i think it will, but if anyone knows or has a logical idea, let me know. thanks.

    The 2nd Gen Nano does only work with Apples universal dock.
    For this product, you will find an adapter.
    If you (like me) have purchased a Nano (1st Gen) dock - aka the small dock without audio/video/ir - then the 2nd Gen Nano does NOT fit in. The connector is slightly shifted and due to the round edges, you cannot insert it.
    kind regards
