Can I hold my iPod in the Universal Dock?

I've a Universal Dock and a 4th generation iPod with color display. The dock is connected with a JBL Creature II and via the adapter in the stopcontact.
My iPod is now fully loaded ('Charged'). Do I have to delete the iPod from the dock when it's loaded, or can I hold it in the dock? Then it's not for loading, only because it looks great. Is that bad for my battery? ?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It is fine if you leave the iPod there. The iPod will stop charging once it is fully charged.
Just make sure you run the battery all the way down and recharge at least once a month to keep a good battery life.

  • Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical

    Can I connect my iPod classic or universal dock with optical?

    Well, no... not at least with the Apple docks.
    Optical Audio is also called S/PDIF. It is a purely digital signal designed for specific kinds of home theater and HIFI systems.
    The iPod classic does not have such a connection... that being said,  HOWEVER  
    There are some iPod docks that use S/PDIF out.

  • Should i buy the universal dock

    should i buy the universal dock. does the ipod sit tight in the adapter u get with the ipod in the universal dock??? please help need advice

    I bought the universal dock for the new 5th generation ipod. i bought it with the intentions of using it to play music and video through my entertainment center. 2 things have gone terribly wrong with this idea. 1) i can't have the dock connected to power outlet while playing music as a residual hum blows through the speakers. i've tried both turning the volume down on the ipod and disconnecting the power supply. the later is the solution that worked but defeats the purpose of charging while playing music. 2) the apple cords i have are not working with video playback. audio works fine, with adjustment foremetioned, but no video is coming through to tv.

  • Please share your experience with the universal dock for iphone 3g

    Hi There,
    1. Can people share their experience of the universal dock with the iphone 3g adapter. My concern is that does the tight fit scratch the black lower back of the iphone plastic everytime we remove it or put it in? OR is there enough gap for the iphone to slip in and out without scratching.
    2. Anyone having issues with the universal dock or does it work fine for most?
    thanks in advance,
    cheers,
    Sunil

    Thanks for your advice.
    I recently purchased a universal dock for my iphone 3g. It works great. I just had one question. When my iphone is sitting on it for lets say 20 - 30 minutes. Then if i press the buttons on the remote. nothing happens! If I then press the home button while it is on the cradle then, the remote, it plays music. There after lets say if I stop stop the music through the remote and again press the remote button after a few minutes it starts playing. So what happens after a long time. Why do i have to press the home button on the iphone for the remote to work. Is that how it is supposed to work???
    Thanks

  • Can you view the iPod menus on your television with the Universal Dock?

    I recently bought a decent universal dock knock off for my iPod, but one of my biggest gripes is that I am not able to view my iPod menus screen on my television. Does the Apple Universal Dock give you this ability?

  • Using the iPod Function of iPhone 3G while docked in the Universal Dock

    I am trying to use the iPhone to play my music while docked in my universal dock with the correct snappins that I just received. I here absolutely no music from the speaker while docked. I have tested it while using the alarm and receiving a call from someone. Is there something I am doing wrong or does it just not play music the the speakerphone while docked. Thanks, Jeff

    There is a difference between the iPhone 3G dock and the Universal dock with the iPhone 3G insert that allows one to be used as a speakerphone (or standalone iPod) and the other to be used really only for synching and charging.......you can guess which is which!
    If you really need the hands-free speakerphone facility (with iPod music delivery of a sort) then the 3G dock is the baby, but if you really want quality iPod music-delivery then why not consider a cable from your Universal dock to your sound-system? This solution works for me for music (as well as synching and charging) but hands-free speakerphone is still a no-go with my Universal dock, so I then use the 3G one.
    I hope that helps....
