Charging Ipod without sitting on docking station

I have an Ipod Video and I just purchased an external extended battery. The Ipod needs to sit in the cradle on the extended battery in order for it to charge. Is there anyway to have it charge from the external battery without having the Ipod sit directly in the cradle? I was wondering if there was some sort of cable available that could run from the Ipod to the docking station that would charge it?

  • Charging IPod on Klipsch Speaker Docking Station

    I leave my IPod on the docking station 24 hours a day so that I don't have to put it on and remove it everytime I want to listen to music even after the battery is fully charged. Am I destroying the battery life by doing this? My battery doesn't seem to last as long anymore. Any suggestions?

    As long as you occasionally use it on battery power and drain the power, this shouldn't really be a problem.
    These docking stations quit charging once the battery if fully charged, so there is no way this can fry your battery. Can it reduce the battery life, certainly, this is why I'd recommend that you use it on battery occasionally. Always, always running it on AC will eventually take its toll on the battery.

  • No audio when playing YOUTUBE videos on ipod touch via a docking station

    Hi there, when my ipod touch is docked on its docking station, it will not play audio on youtube videos, it will play the video but not the audio through the docking station speaker. It used to play audio without problems before, but recently it has stopped. When i take the ipod touch off the docking station the audio on the youtube video returns. any ideas why this has happened? it plays the youtube audio through the head phones too, i can play all other audio through the docking station speakers with out a problem.

    There are no setting to change on the iPod.
    Have you updated either the firmware on the car or on the iPod since they last played in the car?
    This may work:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • IPOD freezes in Bose docking station

    Occasionally, when playing my iPOD through the BOSE docking station, it freezes; the screen display freezes and it won't work again until it has discharged all its power. As it's been in the docking station it charges, so the discharge is usually over night. Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else had this problem? Grateful for any tips.

    My Bose Docking Station sometimes refuses to work (with my 2nd gen Touch), but I've found that disconnecting the Bose from power, waiting twenty seconds and then powering it back up sorts out the problem.
    Try it, you have nothing to lose.

  • 6th gen ipod nano works in docking station but not out of it

    My ipod nanoworks in the docking station and connects to the PC but when i remove it from a power source the screen is blank. Any ideas?

    So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or Mac, a docking station, or when connected to a wall charger?  If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
    Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less. Here is Apple's pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/

  • Charging an ipod nanno from a docking station

    Charging an ipod nanno from a docking station

    Once the battery is charged, I don't think there is any extra heat because it is in a Docking Station. It would be the same as connecting it directly to the docking cable and playing it continuously. Playing it continuously will no doubt wear it out faster than playing it a few hours per day, but the fact that it was in a Docking Station should not make any difference.
    Actually, if you have it in a Docking Station all the time, it will probably last longer than an iPod that is being carried and jostled constantly, because it is stationary. iPod's are much more likely to break from being dropped or bumped a few too many times than from constant use.

  • My ipod will not charge will either a Memorex docking station or USB port on Windows based operating system. It did work at first but even after charging overnight I get a low battery warning and turn off.

    I downloaded music from a Mac at my daughters house when I first got my Ipod several years ago and everything was fine. I continued to use a Memorex charging station (travel speaker). About 6 months ago it failed to charge on the docking station so I tried my USB port on my computer. It would not charge either but I also got a message saying I needed to reconfigure the Ipod to Windows (my operating system) but would loose all my data. Ouch! Any suggestions?

    I would charge it for at least an hour (vice the two minutes you did) and then try resetting it. I am afraid that there may be internal damage that is causing the problem and repair is the ony option. Apple's prices are:

  • IPoD with Jensen Digital Docking Station

    I just bought an iPod nano and a Jensen Docking Digital Music System. When I use the docking station with the iPod and put it on shuffle, it works but it also frequently pauses, with the "charge" battery showing, when it's fully charged. How do I stop this?

    My Bose Docking Station sometimes refuses to work (with my 2nd gen Touch), but I've found that disconnecting the Bose from power, waiting twenty seconds and then powering it back up sorts out the problem.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation/docking station

    I recently purchased a sony radio/docking station.  I have noticed my ipod never completley turns off while it is in the docking station. Even when the docking station is turned off, the ipod stays in a sleep mode.  Long term is this something that could hurt my ipod?   I have read that the battery stops charging when the battery gets full, so I am not too worried about that.  Should I be concerned about my ipod staying on all the time? 

    The docking station has a Lightnining connector? If yes be sure you are pressing the Nano all the way in.

  • When trying to connect my iPod Classic to a docking station/fm transmitter/head phones it does not work. How come?

    When I go to connect my iPod to a docking station or my fm transmittor it shows that the song is playing but will not work. The only time it has worked was when it was conencted to an original ipod cord. My FM transmittor will play any other ipod but my own. I was wondering what I could do to fix this or what I should do.

    Depending if you have apple care then you should be able to replace it. Or, it could be the cord that you are plugging it in with/ docking station. It ma not work also.
    I hoped this helped

  • Help! How do I charge Ipod without syncing with PC?

    Ok I had to do a PC recovery and I lost all my songs again. How can I charge the Ipod without syncing it with the PC?
    Also, does anyone know how I can get my songs on my Ipod back onto my PC?
    -Thanks in advance

    I really hate disconnecting my iPod from my computer, too. So, I have those speakers and it hooks your iPod up to an outlet and it charges your iPod while you're listening or not listening to your music, and its really small, so its great for traveling.

  • So, what, I can't charge iPod without a PC - using a wall or car charger?

    Hey, hopefully you guys will be more useful than Apple's support line, saying that Apple won't support non-Apple accessories (that is, basically, everything... since Apple didn't even provide a charger with the iPod to begin with). Basically (and even specifically) saying that Apple doesn't recommend using anything but a computer to charge.
    That means no charging at work, no charging in the car, no charging whenever it's "convenient"... only charging when iPod is connected to a computer. That's the predicament I'm in now.
    If I plug iPod into any device that starts iPod up as a disk device (MSD driver), it'll start charging. If I don't plug it into something that initializes it as a disk (i.e. a 5vdc USB charger), it won't charge. If I plug it into a powered hub without a computer, it doesn't charge. If I plug that same hub into a computer (keep in mind, it's still getting power from the adapter here), guess what? It charges.
    What, the crap. Why did Apple do this? Most of the reason I chose to finally buy an iPod (even though I'm plenty happy with my other MP3 players) was because of the plethora of innovative third party add-ons. Now I can't use a charger? What gives?
    Or is there really something wrong with my iPod? I've tried several USB chargers that work with my other USB devices (my Pocket PC, my phone, etc), that don't work with iPod. Strangely enough, Google revealed that nobody else seems to be having a similar problem, or if they are, that it's because the USB charger is underpowered (which, while is understandable for my cheesy Chinese USB device chargers, is not the case with the powered hub).
    Thoughts?

    I didn't even know about a video-out spec change (nor do I use video out, I just got my first iPod!)...
    Just, what has me ticked is that I can charge any of my other USB-charging devices like my cell phone and PDA, by just providing +5v to the USB port like a powered hub does without a computer, or a cheap Chinese car adapter does. That's how I modified my cell phone's provider-branded data cable to charge the phone via USB - as it stood, it would only provide data through the cable and drain the battery even though the phone was being provided +5v into its USB circuit. I simply soldered a couple wires ("open source" hardware I call it - the connector simply unscrews and has all its contacts exposed to tweak with!). Easy fix.
    But what I find with the iPod is that it's the only device that needs to be "forced" to charge even when it has 5 volts sitting right in front of it. Strangely (and sadly), I did a Google on the iPod dock connector and found on the iPod Linux wiki that there actually needs to be a resistor in place between a couple of USB pins in order to force the iPod into "charging" mode when connected to +5v. So basically, yeah, it will charge, but since my hub isn't an iPod charger, and the cheap chargers I have (that only provide USB 5v) don't have that resistor, I guess it was just ignoring it.
    Great job leaving the consumer guessing, Apple. At least now there's a forum post on this (irritating) subject for those of us that don't associate "new device" with "new accessories" but instead find ways to make our old accessories work for the new devices. Guess it's to the soldering iron with me...

  • 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.

  • Charging ipod without computer?

    Is it possible to recharge my four(ish) year ipod using the ipod sync cable plugged into the USB socket of my iphone mains charger?

    Probably... There is always a small risk that any third party USB charger doesn't regulate the voltage as well as it should. Incorrect voltage levels could damage your iPod.
