Dock adapter- what is it?

This is a stupid question, sorry. In the box I just got for my new iPod, I got a white stand which I assume is the Dock adapter, though I don't see any practical use for it, so what does it do? My iPod doesn't stand up in it, so I'm guessing it isn't a stand, is it for another component I don't have? Thanks!

Hi,
I just joined this support forum as I'm facing an issue with an older Bose Sounddock Digital Music System and a recent Ipod Nano 3rd generation.
The two devices work well separately. The Ipod Nano works ok dogged into the PC or with headphone. The Bose works ok with Ipod 4th generation.
I found various articles of similar problems on the net, but no resolution. Further the web site of Bose suggests that there is no compatibility issue with Ipod Nano 3rd generation. Any hint would be welcome. Kind regards H

  • Dock Adapter in iPod Classic Box--What Is It Good For + non-video iPod Doc?

    I bought a 160 gig iPod Classic yesterday and it came with a small dock adapter (looks like a snap in type item). What is it for? I looked at the dock for my iPhone & the dock for my non-video 60 gig iPod (can't remember which generation--it's color display & does pictures), but the adapter did not work in either dock. Is it meant for docks like the Bose Sound Dock?
    boldSecond question:bold I tried using my iPod dock with the iPod Classic, but it did not work--it felt like it was loose. Does anyone know of a way to get a dock to work with the iPod Classic?
    TIA,

    How hard is it to change out the dock adapter inserts?
    Easy peasy. Just lift out the old insert and clip in the new one. Takes seconds.

  • What colour is the dock adapter?

    Has anyone bought a 3rd gen black iPod nano 8GB? Is the dock adapter black or white? I have to buy speakers for a friend's birthday to match theirs which has been ordered but not delivered...
    Thanks in advance.

    I can confirm - the adapter (like all I have ever seen before it from Apple) is white, even with the black Nano (video).

  • Iphone 4/4s bumper dock adapter

    Hi there,
    I'd like to get a dock adapter for my iphone 4s to enable it to dock with the bumper case fitted.
    I know it works with the universal dock without any adapter but this doesn't support the phone and could cause damage. It also doesn't look right without any dock adapter fitted.
    I've searched the internet for hours but haven't found any suitable solution. Why don't apple make a dock adapter for the iphone 4/4s that enables it to dock with the bumper case fitted?
    Thanks, Matt

    I don't know what options you have looked at, but the solutions that I have looked at are dock exteners and dock extension cables.  I personally opted for a dock extension cable.  Click the following link to get an idea what is available:

    I just got a 30GB Video iPod - thought the dock adapter was not included - after reading this thread I thought maybe Apple had deciced to stop including the part and had not yet updated the web and print documentation. Figure a piece of plastic 2.5inches or so long, an inche wide and half an inch thick would not be so easy to miss - but, thank goodness I checked before garbage day - the dock adapter was in the wihte plastic pouch that held either the headphones or the USB cable - not sure which. No icons or other indications that the adapter was included on the packaging.

  • The nano came with a dock adapter???

    I got a 2 gig nano and was wondering since they gave me a dock adapter tool, will it work with my 3 genereation apple breanded dock. If I remeber right, all I did was put a piece of plastic over the main part of the dock so that the 3rd gen fitted, is there an online manual or instructions for taking off this piece and hopefully put this adapter on it, thinking thats what the adapter was givin to me for amirite??? thx in advance

    My dad has G1 dock, so my 2GB adapter won't fit, so I just plug it into the dock; theres just a little extra room but it fits fine. I'm gonna keep the adapter just in case, though.
    I don't know if this will help, but if your adapter won't fit you could just put it in the dock like you would with a G3...

  • The Ipod Touch dock adapter!

    Uh...What's up with the Ipod Touch dock adapter? I means it's kinda big, while other ipods it fits perfectly into the dock adapter. Is the Ipod Touch dock adapter supposed to be big? I mean there's gap when you put your IPT into the dock adapter. Hm....O_O

    Ah okay. Thanks for the answer. When I first tried it out, i thought they put the wrong size in there~

  • Please tell me which Ipod dock adapter is compatible with the Ipod Classic 80GB?  They no longer make this particular Ipod and I need the right dock adapter for my Panasonic SC-HC25 stereo system I recently purchased.

  • Universal Dock Adapter?

  • Universal Dock Adapter Help

    Hi All,
    I just received my 60gb 5g ipod and universal dock. I am having trouble with the dock adapter and wondering if anyone had the same problems or insight into my problem.
    The adapter I got is labeled 9. It seems to be clearly too small to fit the 60gb ipod, looks like would be good for the 30gb. With it in the universal dock...there is only about 2-3 mm of space...which is not enough for the 60gb it seems to me... as far as reference it looks like the adapter that came with the universal dock for the 20gb ipod (#'s 4 and 6). I tried using the adapter for the 40gb and that actually lets the ipod go in and connect. But still not the perfect fit that I am looking for.
    Thanks for any input or help.
    Did other people with the 60gb 5g ipod have the number 9 adapter?
    Thanks,
    Jason

  • IPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter + dual dock(bt)?????

    has anyone tried this? I had iphone and apple bt(which *****),
    dualdock was good as it could hold both of them and keep them pair.
    Now things got ugly, 3g iphone doesn't come with dock, and they sell 3g dock
    but not 3g dual dock, so I have to either use travel cable or put 3g iphone
    in 3g dock and bt in dual dock(or travel charger), which is completely
    waste of space and usb port.
    So how's this combo? iPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB546G/A?fnode=home/shopiphone/iphone_accessories/cablesdocks&mco=MTI3Mzc4Mg&p=1&s=topSellers ) + dual dock
    does it work? has anyone tried? I'm sure it will look ugly but if there's
    no plan for 3g dual dock, then I'd try it...

    Thank you for your response -- (its my first ever response) -- Universal Docks that have the large round IR window on the front are OLD Universal Docks and they will not work, they are for the older ipods before the video ipods came out. They also have a SVIDEO port in back. again these are for the old ipods. the newer Universal Docks have a small slot for a IR window and these are the new NON_SVIDEO versions and they my friend do work with the iphone/video ipods and of course the latest Iphone 3g -- if you purhcase the latest AV cables that connect at the bottom of the device...

  • Which universal dock adapter for iPod touch 4th generation?

    When you go into the Apple store / cables and docks, you eventually find one labelled 'Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack for iPod touch'  but when you go into the support article 300277 'Learn about Apple Universal Dock' it says to use adapter number 20 which has serial number MC598ZM/A, but when you click on the link on the serial number you get the information for 'Apple iPhone 4 Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack'. Neither information page gives an adapter number or a serial number. So which universal dock adapter is the right one for iPod touch 4th generation?

    I would get this one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC650ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MTg5MTgxMjc
    The one for the iPhone 4 will not work.  You can always call Apple and ask them.

  • Which universal dock adapter and connection

    Hi,
    I like to find out which dock adapter is right for the ipod video 30GB? and does the new ipod accept USB 2.0 connection only? I tried firewire and it doesn't accept the connection,
    thanks for reading,
    Tom

    My new 60gb doesn't fit in the dock that I had for my older 4th gen iPod. Although they are the same width. I think that you have to buy the new dock as it might be the only one that worrks with the 5th gen iPod.
    No unfortunately Apple has dumped FireWire support for these new iPods, you can only sync with USB 2.0. Although I was dissapointed to see FireWire go USB 2.0 is pretty much the same speed.
