Can I use a  new ipod touch in an old dock/speaker system

I will be in the states soon and thinking of getting and I pod touch the 5th edition. However I have an older dock/speaker system and wonder will it work in it. I have heard that you have to buy an adaptor. Is this true and are they easy to get and how expensive are they. Also is there any issue with buying one in the states and using it in Europe

is the lightning to 30 pin adapter. There are some third party ones out there, but not a ton. If you go for a third party one go for a name brand not a no name generic.
If you want to buy one, look for a retailer with a good return policy so if it doesn't work you can take it back.
As to world wide use, shouldn't be a problem. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure you have a plug adapter if your charger is rated for world wide voltage, or making sure you have a charger that can handle the world wide variances in power. (Usually rated 100-240V in the specs)

  • HT1414 I was using my new iPod touch when...

    I was using my new iPod Touch when the screen suddenly turned unresponsive, after a dozen seconds the iPod's screen turned white with colored lines. It is unresponsive and won't allow me to reset it from my computer. I was using an app and I want my iPod to work! Please help, I have many personal videos that to me seem more valuable than the device itself, please help!!!

    - Try here:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't turn it off then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
    - If still unsuccessful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Copy the music from Nano to computer by:

    Then just sync to the new device

  • Can i use & charge my iPod Touch at the same time??

    If i am using and charging my iPod Touch at the same time. Does it damage the battery??

    Yes you can use and charge the iPod Touch at the same time.
    You can not use and Sync iPod Touch at same time though as Syncing will not allow you to use the touch till it is finished or you cancel the sync.
    If you do use it while charging just keep in mind as you use it you basically got a Charging/Discharging action occurring during this time. So it is best to let it charge as much as possible. Disconnect and use.
    But if you have immediate need to access something you are ok. If you got a Dock station that has speakers that work with touch. Some of these Dock stations will charge touch and allow you to listen to music at the same time.

  • Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

    can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

    Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

  • How can I sync my new ipod touch with my itunes 9.2.1 itunes

    Ok I have got a mac mini running  os 10.4.11 at 1.25ghz 1 gb and have a new 4th gen ipod touch I can't sync it to my itunes 9.2.1 please tell me I can get this to work without paying any more out!!!

    Thanks Jim I thought I might have to upgrade software but to be honest I was looking at investing in a new Mac in the summer but wanted a cheap fix to get my thousands of tunes that i have bought from Itunes onto my new ipod touch Ironically I have a samsung Galaxy s2 I use for work which interfaces with my mac no problem... I find it very odd apple are treating there own customers in this way making me upgrade to interface with their own products!! Which after having macs for the last 20 years i am doubting my decision to carry on with my loyalty to a brand that is doing this!!
    Sorry not your problem.. thanks for the advise.

  • How can i sync my new ipod touch to a mac ibook

    I have an i new ipod touch and have a mac ibook g4 with an operating system of 10.4.11 and for some reason it won't let me sync my new ipod touch to my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Yo need to upgrade OSX to 10.5.8. The system requirements for the new 4G iPod Tough are:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.
    You can get it on eBay, maybe Craig's list and from the Apple store. However, it is not offered in the on-line Apple store so you will have to call. The price is $129.

  • Can't connect brand new iPod touch 4th gen to iTunes, please help!

    I just got a new iPod touch, 16 gig 4th generation. I'm going through the setup process. Once I get to the option to connect through a network, I hit a problem. My internet at home requires a MAC address to be "invited" into the network before I can connect, however I can't get the MAC address until I complete setup!
    So I choose the "Connect to iTunes" option instead. My computer recognizes that there is an iPod connected to it, but iTunes won't pick it up. There is nothing under "Devices".
    What do I do?? ):

    I just retried a step I missed earlier in the articles before and ran into a problem here:
    #5 Verify that the apple mobile devi usb driver is installed
    > for windows 7
    > if the apple mobile device usb driver is not listed
    > if only Apple iPod appears
    > for windows 7
    I went through all these steps until #8: Click OK in the "Install from Disk" dialog. At this point it tries to load for a bit and I get this message:
    "Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software for your device.
    Windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install it. (Apple Mobile Device USB Driver)
    Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)"
    As for your reply, I did indeed already try removing and reinstalling all the Apple programs with unfortunately no effect.
    When I do the sync test, I get that one or more things failed: iTunes Helper not running and No iPod found.

  • Where can we find the new iPod Touch 2.0 software to download it?

    I am in the United States in Northern Ca..
    It is Friday early Morning after 12 and after 1, I was wondering if anyone knows if the New iPod Touch software 2.0 is or will be ready soon for download or do we all have to wait till 8 in the morning to download the new 2.0 iPod Touch software?
    Where can we find the new Software at the Apple web site to downlod it? I looked everywhere on the apple web site trying to find a place to download it, does anyone know??
    I have updated the to the new version of iTunes 7.7..
    In the iTunes where I sync my iPod Touch where in the summary section it says "check for Update", next to it, it says "iTunes will automatically check for an update again on 7/15/08", I also hit the back up button and it tells me that 1.1.4 is the current Version, do I have to wait till the 15th for that update??
    I was reading somewhere on the apple web site that in order to update to 2.0 I have to restore my iPod Touch and have a backup, is this just for the iPhone to restore and create a backup? if not then how do I create a 2nd back up?
    Thanks,
    Mrs. Trisha Foster

    the update is ready on the servers but is just waiting to be pushed through to itunes. I am in australia and I contacted apple technical support, that's what they told me. Don't restore your ipod, just wait and when you connect and click on update, it will update your ipod and there will also be an icon on the home page of the itunes store. We are all waiting in anticipation.
