Dock adaptor for Gen 2 nano

Watch out for this!! I have 2nd Gen ipod nano & a BLACK Bose sound system. The ipod can only be docked using the white Dock adaptor it arrives with. Bose have no plans to produce a 2nd gen nano dock adaptor & nor do apple!!
Therefore I have a black system white a white Dock adaptor
Sounds great; looks yuk

The Apple dock adaptor only comes in white as it's meant for use with Apple's own universal dock and not a 3rd party item like the Bose Sound Dock.
This is up to Bose to address (as discussed here previously many times).

  • Syncing Classic with USB killed docking station for my Nano

    I have two libraries in Itunes, one for music and one for books. I use my Nano for music. After I organized a second library for books, I bought a Classic. It uses a USB cable. After my first hookup of the Classic, syncing the book library. The firewire docking station for my Nano no longer will connect that Ipod to Itunes. I can charge, but not sync. Is this a new feature from Apple or does Itune now only recognize Ipod thru the USB port? I can sync the Nano with USB, but I like the docking station

    I do not think that your USB docking station is faulty. I use it all the time.
    What killed my ipods (resulting in exactly your problem) was the update to firmware 1.1.2. I am on my fifth !! ipod classic (courtesy of technical support/ genius bar at the apple store) as they are not as solid as the older models and
    may go wrong quicker, despite much more enhanced functions. Touch wood mine is working fine now.
    In the mean time, you could try a hard/factory reset of your ipod:

    Interesting may also be "hidden" ipod commands:

    Hope you can sort it.

  • Speakers/charging dock combo for iPod Nano?

    I have a 3rd party home speaker dock, which works as a speaker, but didn't realize that the new Nanos don't let 3rd party stuff work as chargers. When the Nano is connected it says "charging is not supported with this accessory".
    What are my options in terms of docks that would both charge the Nano, and work as a good set of speakers (with good volume)?

    Unfortunatly Apple are not being precise nor correct in their information regarding which systems work (charges) the Ipod Nano G4 ....
    There are literally hundreds if not thousands of accessories not made by Apple that claim some level of iPod compatibility. It is impossible for Apple to supply comprehensive data about which ones work with which (if any) iPods. Newer products sporting Apple's "Made for iPod" logo indicate that the manufacturer (not Apple) certifies that it meets Apple's specifications for iPod compatibility, but that does not necessarily mean it supports all features with all iPod models, especially charging the Nano 4G, & latest iPod Touch & iPhone models.
    Some accessory manufacturers now specifically list which iPod models each of their products supports in product literature, at their websites, or on the packaging. If so, be sure to check for any fine print or footnotes to make sure all the features work with a particular model! If you can't find this info, your best bet is to buy a product from a vendor with a good return policy or contact the manufacturer directly & request specific, detailed compatibility info.
    Note: there is a lot of confusion about the "Made for iPod" logo. To display it, a manufacturer must pay Apple a fee & sign a non-disclosure agreement to get access to the technical details that ensure compatibility with current iPods & timely notifications of changes in the specifications that might affect compatibility with future models. Apparently, notifications about the changes to the charging specs went out to participants quite some time ago, perhaps as early as 2005, but very few accessory makers have done anything about it until now. Of course, non-participants have always reverse-engineered their products for compatibility without Apple's help, so it is probable that they knew nothing until the new iPod models were on retailers' shelves.
    Complicating things even more, some manufacturers market both newer & older versions of some products under the same model name, or just slightly change the model name (like with a "II" suffix).
    The bottom line is "newer is better" but is in itself no guarantee that the accessory will charge the Nano 4G.

  • Logic 3 AC Adaptor for the nano

    Does anyone know if the Logic 3 AC adaptor (IP140B) works with the Nano?
    Maplin sell it (http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=48388&TabID=1&WorldID=&doy=29m11) for £15. The pack says it works with the iPod and iPod mini, and Maplin say it works with all iPods.
    TIA
    Eric

    Thanks for the reply - sounds like you have faith in it.
    I just wondered if there was anyone out there who had actually tried it and could say whether it worked or not?
    It just seems to be a lot cheaper than the Apple charger, without all the extra cables and converters etc - it just seems to good to be true.

  • Does anyone know if replacement adaptors for ipod docks are available suitable for latest nano?

    I have just got a replacement ipod and it's the latest 6th gen little square one with a clip on the back. This means it doesn't fit my JBL dock anymore - it's too fat.  JBL say they will send me a new set of adaptors but were uncertain that this new ipod would fit.
    Does anyone know where to find an up to date set of adaptors for the nano and my iphone 3gs?
    Veronica

    The iPhone is not user servicable. You can get an out of warranty replacement from Apple for $149. If you open the phone yourself, you forfeit the ability to do this.

  • 3rd gen nano shuts off automatically

    When I dock my 3rd gen nano into my Bose portable it randomly shuts off and displays the battery charging screen on the nano.
    When I press the start button the Bose remote the nano will play again for a few songs then shut off again. This doesn't happen with my ipod video.

    I called Apple Support last night to make sure they are aware of this problem. While on the line, we tested a few scenarios, and it seems that the nano only shuts off automatically if the pause / play buttons are used on the Bose Sounddock remote. When I started the nano using its controls rather than the remote, everything worked fine, including adjusting the volume, skipping songs. Only the play / pause button caused the problem, but really, who knows at this point.
    I also noticed this problem only after "upgrading" to firmware 1.0.2. I will try to restore the nano to its factory settings this evening (1.0.1) and see what happens.

  • Questions about 6th gen nano fm radio

    Is it possible to dock your 6th gen nano in the 30 pin car adapter and listen to the nano fm radio over your car stereo speakers? 
    Does the car act as the antenna?
    My problem is that i have a U. S. spec. VW Golf, driving it in Germany, where my U. S. spec car radio will not fine tune into German channels and I thought this might be a possible fix.  yes or no?

    If this is the case (moisture damage) I'd be quite surprised.
    I clip it to my waistband, with the screen facing outward. It doesn't really get sweaty at all, maybe the backside of the metal clip, and the screen stays relatively dry. Maybe my hands are sweaty, but this is supposed to be a workout-oriented MP3 player for active people, right? I am just using it on an indoor elliptical trainer, and it never sees rain or dripping moisture.
    When I get my (fourth) unit, I can try clipping it to my outer pocket, but if this is the problem they are not sealing it very well. What is strange is that the unit itself looks very tightly sealed from the outside and it's hard to believe they cannot do better.

  • Does the 4th gen Nano have an adapter for docking stations? Need help!!!!

    I have a philips dock and play docking station and whilst my 1st gen Nano is very happy playing on it the 4th Gen won't even go on properly. Am i not inserting it correctly or are they just not compatible? What i'd really like to know, is there an adapter for the 4th Gen so that i can attach it to the docking station as well?

    Hiya...try this http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1695
    It's a dock adaptor. Not sure if it works - but frankly, I am just as annoyed as everyone else about the change in connection. I have the original Bose sound dock and the 4th Generation Nano does not work in it.

  • Dock for a Nano

    Is there any dock for the new Nanos? Is the pin adaptor only good if you have a dock? If I have the USB wall charger, and the USB comes with the Nano, I would not need anything else would I? Does anybody know how long the USB cable is that comes with the new Nano? Somebody told me the dock is great to have with the Nano, but I do not see one for the 6 gen Nano.
    thanks

    43" long? You are talking about what the Apple website lists as one of the contents in the Nano box? It can't just be a plain USB connector but in order to plug into the Nano it has to be what the Apple website calls the "apple dock adapter to USB cable." Even without a dock, you still need this cable to hook into the Nano and the computer or the little white power adapter that gets plugged into the electrical outlet that you see in the walls.

  • WILL THE 1st GEN DOCK WORK WITH 2nd GEN NANO?

    as the title states.... i think it will, but if anyone knows or has a logical idea, let me know. thanks.

    The 2nd Gen Nano does only work with Apples universal dock.
    For this product, you will find an adapter.
    If you (like me) have purchased a Nano (1st Gen) dock - aka the small dock without audio/video/ir - then the 2nd Gen Nano does NOT fit in. The connector is slightly shifted and due to the round edges, you cannot insert it.
    kind regards

  • 4th gen Nano - only 1 channel plays when docked with external speakers

    * bought 4th gen Nano direct from Apple
    * Boynq iCube - music only comes out of right channel (iPod Video works fine though)
    * Jensen JiMS-185 - music barely audible from left channel (iPod Video works fine on this as well)
    * Insten cradle / supplied iPod cable - both channels work fine
    * headphones work fine
    Are there any known incompatibilities between 4th gen Nanos and some external speakers, or is does this sound more like a wonky refurb'd unit? Both problematic speaker systems were purchased new. If it was just one I'd think it was the speaker system. But given that similar issues are spanning 2 different speaker systems I'm not sure what the problem is now.

    Sounds like you have an issue with the pins on the dock connector of your Nano. There is a left and right outputs on two of the pins on the dock connector. It could very well be that one pin is bent and on one radio no connection at all while on the other barely touch causing bad sound.
    Alternatively it might be dirt, grime, oil, or other debris caught in the pins as well that simply need to be cleaned out.
    Get a good magnifying glass, eye loupe, etc. and inspect the dock connector on the nano for debris and for damaged pins.

  • Will a USB cord for iPod touch fit the 1st Gen Nano?

    Hi, I am about to purchase a used 1st gen nano because the wireless fm transmitters are cheaper, and to be honest, I don't want to ride around with my 3rd gen Touch in my car all day. But it doesn't come with the USB cable, and I was wondering if I could use the same one for later my iPod touch?

    Yes, since the creation of the dock connector, all dock connectors have been the same... They were originally available in FireWire, but that cable specification was discontinued before the iPod with video...any new iPods will not work with them, however, all iPods with a dock connector will work with the USB version of the cable...

  • Is there any hope for a Nano 6th gen that went through the washing machine?

    Is there any hope for a Nano 6th Gen that went through the washing machine?  All of the devices contents are showing up in iTunes when connected but the device itself is not working.

    Hello kpratta,
    There is some hope. I have heard of someone putting the ipod in a bag of dry rice and putting the bag in a dark place for a 4-5 days. After that they used this:
    www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    This has the best chance. The rice absorbs any liquid in the ipod.
    Hope this helps.

  • Driver for Ipod Nano 3rd Gen

    Hi
    Just brought Ipod nano 3rd gen and plugged it into PC. It is not able to install properly - computer says it can't find driver. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    I am having the same issue here.
    OS: Vista ultimate 64-bit
    iTunes: 7.6.0.29 (64-bit)
    iPod: Nano 8gb 3rd gen
    I currently have a 60gb iPod Photo that works flawlessly. I bought the Nano tonight, brought it home, and charged it up. Plugged it in, and now Windows Vista is asking for drivers for the Nano. Doesn't recognize the Nano at all.
    The Nano knows it's plugged in, and is giving me the "eject before disconnecting" screen. However, Vista wants drivers, and iTunes doesn't recognize the Nano is connected whatsoever.
    Can someone please shed some light on this for us? Thanks.
    [edit] Yes, I have reset the Nano. Yes, I have uninstalled iTunes, rebooted and re-installed iTunes. Yes, I also tried putting the Nano into Disk Mode manually and connecting it to the system, but the system still wants drivers....
    [edit2]And yes, I'm using the administrator account on the system, too.
