Charging with Bose SoundDock [ipod 2g]

Ok, I know it doesnt work, and I am so ****** off about it you have no idea, paid $450 for it.
Its still in warranty, if i take it back, is there any chance they will replace it with the new Bose speakers that do work?

The Bose SoundDock II is suppose to work with the 2G iphones/itouch not the original/previous SoundDock.
I recently bought, via a very recognized online auction, a new and sealed Bose SoundDock. The package seal date was 10/2007! Bose had the SoundDock listed on their website literally about 2 weeks ago then it's gone now as the company finally phased out the older model.
At least I got a deal online as the original price was $399.
Let's see...
I bought mine with "free shipping" for $195. If I bought it at retail, it would've cost $399 + 15 sales tax in my state = $414; I saved 53%!! Woo-Hoo!
Too bad it's now "outdated" and replaced my an updated, lower cost model! AUGHH!
Oh, well!
The SoundDock works well with my older iPods (30Gb/60Gb/80Gb) and 1G/2G/3G nanos (Yeah, yeah! I'm building an iPod farm!. I won't be buying any newer iPods soon).
Anyway...
Despite the limitations of the SoundDock of not having an auxilliary port or limited remote functions, it works well. Music and speech sound fine and clear!The speaker is meant for the "older" iPod versions (i.e. NOT the 2G iTouch/iPhone or 4G (chromatic) nano).
Bose's newer SoundDock II is meant to be backward compatible as well as compatible with the newer iPods! At least the price for the newer version dropped from $399 of the original to $299, though it's still pricey!!

  • IPod touch 4 with Bose sounddock portable

    Hey buddies, my IPod touch 4 (iOS 5.1.1) isn't fit with Bose Sounddock Portable, how come? You guys have any solution? Thx

    If you mean theat the 4G iPd does not full mate with the dock you have two solutions:
    - Modify the dock with knife and duct tape to make it fit.
    - Use a dock extender:

  • TS2771 itouch stopped working with Bose sounddock after software update 5.1.1

    Have an iTouch that used to work well with Bose SoundDock.  Then updated iTouch software to version 5.1.1  and as usual apple ITouchOS now does not recognize the Bose SoundDock at all now.  Error message iTouch does not support this accessory.  What the heck?  How to fix?  Buying new dock is not solution. iTouch is gen 4.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    - If still the problem then it appears that the iOS update broke the compatibility. That happens sometimes. In that case you have to wait for an update from either Apple or Bose.
    - Also, use the communities search box in the upper right and search for. bose. I think other users had same problem. It is hard to remember the dock manufacturer.

  • Ipod No Longer Charging on Bose Sounddock

    Recently my 5th gen. Ipod (ver 1.3 software) stopped charging on my gen 1 bosesound dock and my other earlier sound systems (JBL portable speakers, etc.), however it still will play music. It will charge on a new Ihome I recently bought... All my research has shown this problem to exist with the new Ipod touch models that are firewire charge only, but not with 5th Gen. I've tried it on other bose sounddocks and it won't charge on those either, however an non-updated gen 5 my family has still charges fine on all the devices. The only thing I can think of is that the new Itunes 8.2.1.6 update that I installed changed the charging operations for my Ipod (it stopped working just after I updated it and synched my Ipod). Can anyone confirm if this is the case and how to fix it?

    Just checked. The display is frozen. It says 'Do no disconnect' and has the red warning symbol.

  • IPod Nano (2nd generation) not fully compatible with BOSE SoundDock

    I can't get the remote control for my BOSE SoundDock to function with my newly purchased 2 GB iPod Nano (2nd generation).
    The BOSE manual states that the remote control will not function properly if the iPod doesn't have the proper (or later) version of Apple software installed.
    The "correct" software that BOSE identifies for the iPod mini (Nano) is version 1.2 or later.
    This, however, appears only applicable to iPod 1st generation Nanos.
    My brand new ipod Nano has version 1.1.2 software and iTunes has confirmed this to be the most current software for this 2nd generation unit.
    Is this a common problem? It's hard to believe the BOSE unit does not cover 2nd generation iPod Nano software.
    Other than the non-funtioning remote control, the BOSE unit works fine and with the BOSE-supplied black adpater for the Nano.

    Actually, the BOSE SoundDock is compatible with the iPod Nano.
    After troubleshooting with the BOSE staff, and some excellent customer service, the problem was narrowed down to the remote control device.
    BOSE sent out a new remote control and the unit works fine with my iPod Nano.
    Appreciate all who offerred assist in this matter.

  • IPod w/video works with Bose Sounddock

    Just received my black 30GB iPod. I haven't seen it personally since I'm at work, but my husband is getting it all setup for me. He checked it in his Bose Sounddock and it works fine. So glad they left the width the same! He says the decreased thickness isn't a problem with the sounddock. I will be trying out other accessories this evening. Docks, headphones etc.

    Well since ITunes uses "Quicktime" you are going to have this problem with MPEGs files that are "Muxed" or Multiplexed where the MPEG Container contains the audio and video in sepearte files. Read these:

  • IPod Touch 4G works fine with Bose SoundDock

    I just want to report that I bought the Bose SoundDock portable system yesterday, and it works fine with the iPod Touch 4G. Despite what I had read on these pages and elsewhere, there is absolutely no problem docking the Touch, and the system works great. What fun to have this as a battery-powered go-anywhere system!

    I used to have a problem getting both of them working but then i realized it was a problem with my iPod itself which got resolved and now they seem to work great after all!

  • 6th generation iPod with Bose Sounddock I

    I just received a new Ipod (6th generation) from the replacement program and I can no longer use it with my Bose Sounddock I.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Or contact Bose and send your Sounddock to them and they will covert it for about $100.

  • Ipod Nano 8GB with Bose SoundDock

    Hi all,
    My new Nano 8GB won't fit into the Bose SoundDock using any of the supplied plastic adaptors. It fits without an adaptor and works fine but the supplied Nano adaptor won't allow it to fit.
    Does anyone know where to get an adaptor that fits?
    Thanks,
    MT23

    My 4GB Nano just got destroyed and I'm getting ready
    to buy the 8GB...Will it work in the same docking
    stations that my 4GB worked in? Thank

  • Bluetooth Headset with Bose SoundDock

    I tried searching with no success.
    If I get a bluetooth headset can I receive calls if I am playing music thru the iPhone in a Bose SoundDock?

    I don't have a Bose but I have the same issue with a lesser radio with a iPod doc. I also have an FM transmitter for my iPod. The radio and the FM transmitter both work to play music from the iPhone but will not charge. My understanding that the charging voltage from those docks is something other than the 5 volts that the iPhone uses so the phone protects itself by not allowing the dock to charge it. I have been unable to find any type of adapter that will reduce the voltage so the dock will charge the phone.
    I would love to have a Bose but am not glad I did not spend all that money and have a dock that would not charge my phone. Please post if you find any type of solution.

  • 5th Gen won't charge on Bose SoundDock

    I plugged my brand new 5th gen Nano intou my Bose SoundDock. The Ipod screen said "Charging is not supported with this accessory". WTH!!! It will play the i-pod, but my $300 SoundDock can't charge it?
    My 4th gen worked fine and had no issues. Anyone else heard of this? Looks like I might be packing it back up and sending it back.

    Apple removed the Firewire compatibility - 12V charging support. The new ipods - 5th generation nano, ipod Touch, etc. no longer will charge in older accessories. So far, I have located two adapters which should allow the newer ipods to charge in the older devices - like the Bose Sounddock.
    Scosche PassPORT USB Home Charging Adapter ($25.47), Griffin Charge Converter Adapter for All iPods and iPhones ($18.32). I don't think the Griffin device will fit in the Bose Sounddock - it's more for the car accessories. These are both available through Amazon.com. (There appear to be some other options as well.)
    Gotta say though - Apple support was awful! I went into the Apple store to ask about this "problem" since I got a nano 5g for Christmas. Do you think they even gave me the explanation of why it wouldn't work? No, their answer was that they didn't make the devices I was talking about (Bose Sounddock, car connection, iHome clock radio) and I would have to contact the manufacturer of each one! I had to search the internet to find out why the nano wouldn't work with the accesories. And why can't Apple make an adapter? They changed the technology. Bottom line - biggest market share, $ matter, not customer support.

  • Ipod mini with Bose Sounddock/remote issues

    Just purchased mini & sounddock, but for remote to work, software version must be 2.2 or later; my mini will only update to 1.4.1. Can this be remedied, or do I kiss the remote feature goodbye?

    The latest version of iPod mini is 1.4.1, (2.2 - is related to iPod dock connector i.e. iPod 3Generation).
    Please have a read the following
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    Your iPod mini should be able to control by using the Bose soundock's remote control as I do.
