Do I need Apple's universal dock to connect my iPod to a tv.
I was wondering can i connect iPod to a tv from the headphone jack. Can someone please help?
Apple iPod AV Cable is stereo audio/composite video only. S-Video requires iPod Dock according to local Apple Store. (None have yet to arrive in our area and I am anxiously waiting them to come in so I can return the unopened Color iPod dock I bought by mistake.

Is it neccessary to have a universal adapter to connect my iPod to my audio system/iHome? If I connect it without one will it mess anything up?
The adopt er just a piec of place the helps support the iPod so the movement and thngs wil not damage the dock connectoer area of the iPod or the dock. Here is the adopter for the 4G iPod.

What if I don't have the Apple Component AV Cable or Apple Composite AV Cable to connect my iPod to? Do I have to buy one to watch videos on my iPod?
Hi there,
I am assuming you have an ipod nano 6th gen (the small one with a touch screen)
unfortunately, the ipod nano 6 gen can not play videos whatsoever unless you hack it so even with a cable it does not work.
I hope this helps cus im new
(if other generation ipod nano, just reply and i will help again ) -
Apple style universal dock with sound?
I keep my touch on my end table along with a clock radio I'd like to ditch.
Only trouble is that the dock doesn't emit sound. Yes, there are oddles of dock stations with speakers; they're overkill. I had purchased a few of those 'lego' style speakers, which btw work fine, and I was wondering if there were a dock with the footprint of the Apple style dock yet with some sound.
Doesn't have to be concert quality, just for use a clock radio or reading; it should have 2 30pin connectors: one for ipod to sit on, the for standard usb to wall charger. Should be usable without external power (If the 'lego' speakers I mentioned had another 30pin connector for power, that'd be darn close); A one or two micro speakers built in. No remote or other frills needs. Just simple dock with sound.
Does such a beast exist?it should have 2 30pin connectors: one for ipod to sit on, the for standard usb to wall charger.
You want the other connector to do what? You want one connector to play into speakers and the other only to charge?
The iPod sitting in the 30 pin dock connector charges.
Don't know any that have speakers and two 30 pin connectors.

"old" Universal Dock not working with iPod Classic/iPhone
I purchased the Universal Dock back when it came out. Now I have upgraded to a new Classic & iPhone and neither seem to work to the TV through it. I took having to spend another $49 on the chin and bought the new composite AV cable, which by the way does work with YouTube after Apple told me it wouldn't, nice bonus. The new cable works great (haven't tried charging yet), however, plugged into the dock, the remote works, but I get no audio or video out to the TV. iPhone gives me the standard not compatible and wants to go into airport mode which is fine, but then the video plays on it's (iPhone) screen. The Classic pretends everything is working great. Do I have to go spend another $49 on a new "Universal" dock now?
Did you already have a look here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233? It specifies exactly what combinations of cables, docks, and iPod models do and don't work. Looks like the old dock doesn't work with the new iPod's.

Do I get an Universal Dock Adapter for the iPod nano 7. gen?
I allready have the universal dock connector, but with the new Lightning Connector it is not working.
I can't imagine to connect the new iPod nano with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter?!
Will the iPod fit the universal dock with it?
Anyone with some experiences to share?
Thanks!I am affraid that the iPod will not stay in place and tip over if i place the Lighting to 30-pin adapter on top on my universal dock and then attach my iPod to it!
There must be a better solution! -
Nano ipod does not work in universal docking station but larger ipod does
My partner has a large ipod and I have a nano ipod. he can connect to the universal docking station and listent o music through the sound system but when I connect the nano ipod using the adaptor supplied with my nano ipod it does not recognise it even though it clicks in place as it is supposed to do. I also can not recognise my tracks on the ipod on the computer where the tracks had originally been transferred from, do you think the connector in my ipod has been damaged and is now not working?
I don't have any problems charging from the computer thopugh or listening to what is on it.
Can anyone help?I have a similar but not quite the same issue. I have a toshiba tecra m3 laptop with windows xp pro. When I have the "enhanced usb driver" enabled under device configuration for my computer, my ports operate fine with usb 2.0 devices at full speed, but when I plug in my ipod it says that it is unrecognized.
If I disable the enhanced driver, then the ports dumb-down to usb 1.0, my ipod works fine with itunes but is a bit slow and other devices (like an external dvd burner) operate at slow speeds.
Also, whenever I plug in my ipod windows pops a box saying it would work faster if I plugged it into a usb 2.0 port. How helpful.
Anyone else experiencing this kind of thing? -

HT1380 can the Ipod universal dock be connected to an AV Receiver
I have just purchased the latest I Pod Touch and want to get a dock that will allow me to connect to my Yamaha AV Receiver. Can this be done?
The dock will only provide audio and you will need an adopter
One of these adopters/cables should work:

tried several times to restore my nano via itunes and still keeps on saying that it needs to be restore since its on recovey mode, what do i do next?
Are you really running Windows 98? I sure hope not. :S
I have noticed a few others with the same problem the past couple of weeks. Many of them were able to resolve the issue by doing a low level reformat of the iPod's flash storage using the instructions in this article.

Bluff package: Apple Universal Dock
I am the owner of a 2G iPod classic and my girlfriend owns a 1G iPod nano.
To use our iPods with the same HiFi system I thought it would be nice to have an universal dock. As this dock - according to the promisses on the package - can be used universaly and is compatible with ALL iPod models with dock connectors I thought I could just connect the Universal Dock to our HiFi system and then dock either my or my girlfriends iPod just the way we like it. After I bought an Universal Dock (MB125G/A) I learned that I was wrong.
I was able to get the iPod nano to run in the Universal Dock, but my 2G iPod classic won't charge and makes no move when docked in the Universal Dock.
Today I learned from the guy from the Apple Phone Support that my 2G iPod classic is NOT compatible with the Universal Dock and that there would only exist one Universal Dock that is compatible with both iPods but this Universal Dock I would need (MA045G/A) is not sold anymore. I was pretty surprised to learn that there exist different models of the Universal Dock since I never noticed different models in the Online store or anywhere else and since UNIVERSAL for me implicates that there is only one model that can be used for every device.
When I talked to the guy from the Support I first thought: Hey, thats the **** system of the manufacturer. Like this they make sure people always have to buy the new devices although theirs old ones actually work perfectly fine.
But guess what. I was wrong again!
I asked the guy from the Support if it would be possible to use the Universal Dock for example together with an iPod touch AND an iPod nano. I learned from the guy that because the iPod touch uses a different technology this also is not be possible!!!
Apparently it is also for a manufacturer like Apple that is - or for me was - well known for the functionality of their devices impossible to create a dock that works with every iPod. I can hardly believe that it is the last conclusion of wisdom that one has to use one dock with each iPod!
I am extremly disappointed from you Apple guys! But what I'm really shocked of is the fact that you write on the package that the device is an UNIVERSAL Dock and compatible with ALL iPod models with dock connector. That's a stone cold falsehood I up to today wouldn't have expected from Apple....To be frank, I am also suprised that your apple universal dock, does not compatiable for the 1st Gen iPod Nano, but when I read the link below:-
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MB1 25G/A#overview
It is clearly stated at the buttom of the page that only the iPod (with Video funtion) i.e. iPhone iPod Video and 3rd Gen iPod Nano .... are compatiable with mb125g/a -
IPhone (3,3G,4) does not work with Apple Universal Dock.
I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch that has been upgraded to iOS 4. My iPod Touch will no longer sync via the Apple Universal Dock. Also, my new iPhone 4 also will not sync via the Apple Universal Dock.
Trust a geek not to give up. I decided to get to the bottom of the "iOS device does not work with the Apple Universal Dock" problem. I noticed that the iPhone 4 and iPad came with slightly different USB-Dock adapter cables. I wondered if that might be the issue. My Apple Universal Dock was connected to my Mac via the original dock adapter cables which are slightly larger. I connected the newer cables between the Mac and the Apple Universal Dock and .... voila! Both the iPod Touch with iOS 4 and the iPhone can now connect via the Apple Universal Dock. Apple changed something in the way the adapter cables function.
Of course I still have the problem with the car head unit dock adapter ... Sigh. I'll have to call Best Buy ( uughh! ) and find out if they'll do the update for me. The were the vendor authorized installer. -
Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote
I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!
I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.
