Cover for Dock Connector

I just received a new Nano. Is there supposed to be some kind of cover for the dock connector? My previous Ipod had a plastic cover that fit into the dock connector. Thanks for any information.
Mike

Apple haven't included the little white piece that clipped into the dock connector (to prevent the ingress of dirt etc when the iPod is not in use) for a long while now.
The white universal dock adaptor included with iPods now is not the same thing.

  • Preventing DOCK CONNECTOR option through A2DP BT set up?

    When I go into my car and I want to mount my iPhone 4 into the cigarette Belkin dock mount, I always get an option for DOCK CONNECTOR or MYBLUETOOTH through music app. I ALWAYS connect to my bluetooth. Is there a way to prevent the option to show up and be recognized other than being charged going along with my bluetooth as a default option set up?

    Similar question: would love to know a way to set the iPod connection as a default.
    I have a 2009 Acura TL with bluetooth and an iPod dock connector built in. I have an iPhone 4. I always keep the bluetooth on so I can talk hands-free while driving. When I plug in the iPhone with the dock connector and switch to iPod mode on the car, it will start playing and then within 5-10 seconds, switch to Handsfree Mode, even though the dock connector is plugged in. This is very frustrating and counter-intuitive. If I wanted to play thru the BT connection, I would have not plugged in the iPhone. But once it's plugged in, why does it insist on switching to BT? I am forced to go thru the steps to switch the connection manually to the dock connector each and every time I want to listen to music thru my iPhone.
    Granted, this is better than the previous iOS version, where the exact same problem existed but was worse, because after manually switching to dock connector, it would on its own always switch back to BT connection, no matter how many times I re-selected dock connector. This forced me to use BT for music even though I didn't want to. I wonder if there's any way to change any setting so that if the iPhone is plugged in, it knows this and doesn't switch to BT mode for the iPod function.

  • That white plastic thing that covers the dock connector

    I just got my iPod mini back from a repair with Apple. It's a different iPod and it works great, but the little piece of white plastic that I used to cover the dock connector doesn't fit this one. Is this a problem? It seems like the connection could easily become dirty if it's not protected.

    No, it's not a problem. Most iPods don't have a cover, just the earlier models.

  • Crack on back cover spreading up from dock connector -- anyone else?

    Two week-old black iPhone 3G 16GB. Kept in a leather slip-case. Never sat on, dropped or abused. Free of scratches.
    Now has a 10mm-long crack spreading up from the middle of the dock connector.
    Called Apple tech support, told I'd get a free replacement, went on hold, then told that actually it was accidental damage and I'd be charged for repair, "even if it's a design fault", because it arrived from O2 without a crack in it.
    Looking up inside the dock connector, there's no support for the case and the edge can flex inwards with just the tiniest pressure.
    Anyone else having this problem? Anyone had any success getting Apple to replace it?
    Unfortunately, the only camera I've got with me is on my iPhone, so it'll be a challenge to take a picture of the crack today!

    Second phone call to Apple, still no joy. Some interesting tid-bits:
    1) Absolutely no advanced-replacement option possible: "it's not like a little power supply or something -- the iPhone is different". Send it in for an evaluation is the only Apple option aside from trekking to an Apple store for evaluation.
    2) The cost to replace the back cover, if found to be 'accidental damage', is £146 for an 8GB, probably more for a 16GB (?!)
    3) The guy was unable to tell me how Apple assesses if something is 'accidental damage', and couldn't put me through to someone who could. He also refused to put me through to anybody else to discuss the matter further.
    4) He said that he wasn't interested in listening to anything that had been posted on a forum regarding cracking issues or anyone getting a replacement from Apple.
    5) My only other option, he said, was to take it in to an O2 shop and have a go at getting a replacement from them.
    I waffled on about 'fit for purpose', this being a premium product, and being a loyal Apple customer for years to absolutely no avail -- he wouldn't budge and give me a replacement, offer a free repair, or acknowledge any potential design faults. Like talking to a brick wall of policy! Quite different to the only other experience I've had with Apple tech support.
    Interesting to hear about the moisture sensor, neuroanatomist -- thanks!

  • IPod HiFi - What dock connector do I use for a 80GB (5th Generation) ipod??

    Hi,
    Just got a new shinny ipod HiFi, however what dock connector can I use for an 80GB (5thG) as the connectors only go up to 60GB??? Or does the ipod come with a dock connector? Can anyone point me in the right direction, pretty please.
    Any suggestions would be great help.
    Cheers
    Sian

    You mean the dock adapter, right? The little plastic piece with a slot?
    Use the one for the 60GB.
    The only thing they do is make the iPods it correctly in the dock.
    The dock connector is the slot on the bottom of the iPod.

  • IPhone4 Dock Connector Not Showing As Option For Sound Output

    Hey All,
    I'm using an iPhone 4 Dock Connector to output sound (via 3.5 mm cable) to a stereo.  This has been working for over 5 months, but all of a sudden it doesn't show up as an option for output from the AirPlay button.
    I tried a friend's 4S and it worked for him.  I also cleaned out the pin connector area on the iPhone as there was a small amount of lint in there (from being in my pocket), but that didn't fix the problem either.
    Any suggestions would be welcomed.
    Thanks!

    Slow, intermittent.  Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
    Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
    Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair-  this is of no help.
    I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

  • Looking for a In-line dock connector charger or dock connector splitter

    Hi all,
    I am looking for either a dock connector charger with a male & female connector, or a dock connector splitter to be able to charge my handset while using a Bluetooth A2DP Audio transmitter. I know this might not matter in a few months due to the 3.0 firmware, but for now, I have this need.
    I like to listen to music while working, and I hate being tethered by headphone wires. My company doesn't want us to stream audio at work as it uses up bandwidth, so I use my iPhone with the adapter to broadcast to a Bluetooth stereo headset. Unfortunately, I cannot use the charger and the adapter at the same time, because they use the same dock connector port. This means, my battery drains at a pretty hefty pace, due to the running application and the adapter. What I need is the ability to have both the adapter and the charger plugged into the phone at the same time. I cannot be the only one with this problem. Does anyone out there have a solution?
    Thanks.
    ---Ken

    There are some bluetooth adaptors around that have a "pass-through" connector for the dock connector but i don't know how compatible they are with the iPhone. My friend uses a bluteooth transmittor that connects to the headphone jack so he can charge the iPhone in the car and listen to music at the same time. I'm betting the best option would be a trusty Google search for iPhone bluetooth or something of that ilk. Though considering you'd have to buy it i'd still probably recommend waiting till the 3.0 update depends how much in need you are i guess as come 3.0 the hardware would be a bit redundant.

  • All audio works out of dock connector with Apple a/v cable, except for ipod audio.  I get no ipod audio.  Any ideas?

    I have an iPhone 3gS (iOS 4.3.3) and an Apple AV cable.  This arrangement has worked in the past.  Now, I get NO iPod audio out of the dock connector/AV cable.  All other audio (movies/YouTube/etc.) works fine with the Apple AV cable...but, I get NO iPod audio. 
    Can anyone help me out with this issue?

    I have tried videos from iTunes and my own conversions.
    I managed to test my cables using a friends 30GB iPod and it worked just fine. I looked really good and I'm really looking forward to getting mine working.
    It is definitely my iPod. Both the Apple AV Cable and the cheaper, longer Belkin AV iPod cable work fine with other iPods.
    I will try firmware version 1.1.2 when I get home but I don't have high hopes. I will post the results for the silent masses yearning for an answer to the same problem.
    Any tips on how to smoothly navigate Apple tech support and get my iPod fixed?

  • Dock connector in different location?!

    Is the dock connector to the 2nd generation iPod in a different location? I just bought a brand new Ipod 8gb nano and two docking stations that are "ipod nano compatible" for a co-worker. To my dismay, I can't dock the ipod. Do I have a defective unit or has Apple actually changed the location of the connector, thereby rendering all first generation accessories useless?
    I am just stunned at the moment. I wish apple would advertise this little fact...

    The 8Gb nano has different overall dimensions, as you found out, so many of the accessories that were designed for the nano won't be compatible (e.g. the nano dock, headphones such as the Lanyard headphones, etc. - anything that is based on the original spacing between the speaker jack and the connector and case.
    As for the dock, there is a hack, although not an easy one. It turns out that the dock comes apart very easily, and if you machine the slot on the plastic cover to be about 1/8 inch wider (on one side only) and put it back together, it works fine. I used a dremel tool and mine turned out pretty good.
