Docking an iPhone onto external speakers with the sleeve/case on

Briefly: is it possible? I have a nice "Case-mate" leather-like case for my iPhone, but I have discovered that in order to dock it onto external speakers I have to take it out of the case, which is not easy (it's a nice snug fit). Are there any docks where I don't have to take it out of the case? (Or, alternatively, are there any cases which don't interfere with docking?)
Thanks,
- Wayne

Would a battery pack that has a USB "port" instead of a "dock" connector meet your needs?
You could use the redesigned dock connection cable and plug it in to something like this:

I'm sure there are much cheaper versions of this on eBay.

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

    You can try the standard fixes of reset, restore from backup and restore to factory defaults to rule out a hsoftware proble.  Frequently it is to to a problem with the eadphone jack and the solution is to replace the jack.

    Hello,after the last apdate iOS 7.1.1 my iphone has stop work with the bose dock station. why it is happens?

    Natan turbo hadar,
    I have the same exact problem.
    I put an iPod shuffle on the Bose system, it plays just fine.
    My iPhone 4s works just fine connected to my car stereo.
    My iPhone 4s on the Bose will charge, it "thinks" it's playing, song shows, time line shows it's playing, can pause if I touch the phone's screen.
    The remote for the Bose WILL NOT pause it, forward to next song, etc. It does work with the iPod shuffle.
    So it's not the Bose, it's not connections, it's the iOS 7.1.1
    Everything worked fine before, any one else have suggestions?

  • How do i take a playlist from my itunes, and put it onto my ipod with the newest itunes?

    How do i take a playlist from my itunes, and put it onto my ipod with the new itunes?

    For music that you've purchased from Apple that are on your iPhone you should be able to copy to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. Also if you are in the US then you should be able to re-download past music purchases for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    For your own music that you've copied, then if you haven't got a backup on, for example, external drives or CDs/DVDs then you could see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work

  • HT1665 how come i cant use other headphones or external speakers with my ipod

    how come i cant use headphones or external speakers with my ipod.sood as you plug either in there is no sound.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split i have a new laptop and now it keeps asking for the old ID or it'll erase my apps bought on theold account.

    Hi, I need help and advice. Basically me and my ex partner both had iphones and synced it with the same computer under the same ID. We split up and now im trying to get all my apps and info onto my new laptop with a new account but it keeps asking me for the old apple ID which she is still using and she changed the password. i tried backing it up but still nohing. When i try to back up purchased items being apps etc its keeps asking for the old one. help

    See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. But you'll still need the password.
    Once you have the computer authorized to use the account she could change the password again to stop you buying apps on her card (assuming it's not on yours!). It would lock you out of upgrading them too but they should work unless she uses the deathorize all feature.
    It depends on how amicable the split is...

  • 2 External Monitors with the T430s with Intel HD4000

    I have read several multiple monitor threads but could not get a clear solution to this.
    Model: I have a T430s with Intel HD4000 graphics.
    Desired set up: 2 External Monitors + Lenovo LCD
    Problem: It seems that I can only drive one external monitor. I'd like to drive two external monitors, as I did previously with my T420.
    What I've tried: I have a dock and have tried VGA + DVI for the external monitors, as well as DVI + DVI. Neither setup has worked. It always greys out the third monitor in the Windows Display options.
    Any thoughts on how to drive two external monitors with the T430s? Clarity is appreciated. Thank you!

    If I'm reading the link you provided correctly, can I correctly assume that I CAN connect two external displays with just the W520 Laptop and NO docking station?
    I tested this today.  You can connect two external displays (1 VGA, 1 DisplayPort) without a docking station.  The result is 3 independent displays - the ThinkPad LCD, the VGA monitor, and the DisplayPort monitor. 

  • External speakers with built in speakers?

    Is there a way to have audio come out through both built in speakers and external speakers?

    The only way that comes to my mind is in the latest versions of iTunes using Airtunes, and this obviously applies only to sound comin from iTunes.
    When using a pair of external speakers connected to the AirportExpress, you click on both "Computer" and "Airport" in iTunes output menu (next to the buttons for Equalizer, Full screen, eject). Now everything that goes through iTunes will be heard on the computer and on the external speakers.
    This does not work with any other source of sound in your computer (quicktime, DVD player, VLC, etcétera), only with iTunes.

  • External speakers with iChat

    Hi,
    I find the in-built speaker volume level very low when i webcam with iChat. I would like to be able to switch to external speakers but can't find a way to do it.
    I am using Airport Express to connect to Internet and some external speakers are plugged to it. I expected Preferences/Sound/Output to let me switch to those but they just don't appear in the list.
    Is there a way to use external speakers with iChat ?
    Many thanks.

    Hi RemiL,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions
    The person at the other end can increase the volume at their end.
    The go to System preferences > Sound > Input tab.
    For you to switch Output devices you have to go to System Preferences > Sound > Output tab.
    Also in iChat > Preferences > Video section - if there is a choice of Output devices there will be a additional drop down to change the choice.
    As your speakers are beyond the Airport device they are unlikely to show up. They would have to be connected to the Mac.

  • External Speakers with MacBook

    Can I use the spheric glass speakers that came with my iMac flat-panel on my MacBook ?

    You need to use powered external speakers on the macbook. The spherical ones that came with the iMac a long time ago have are designed to work off the built in amplifier that came with that iMac and I believe it had a special connector. Griffin used to sale a powered interface that would allow you to use them with other computers, but I don't know if they sale it anymore.
    I use Harman kardon's soundsticks II with my macbook. It has great sound and I got them off of Amazon a while back on sale for 79 bucks.

  • If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    If you registrate one Apple ID for each iPhone/iPad, you'll get 5GB on iCloud for each Apple ID, right? I have two iPhones and one iPad  with the same Apple ID, why can't I get 5 GB fo each of them?

    Actually, everyone missed one point, when a device is priced, the cost of icloud storage space for that device is also included in it that is why they are able to give you 5gb each for each user ID, in nutshell there is nothing free coming with apple device purchase, it is paid for.  What they are trying by giving only 5gb per user ID irrespective of the number of devices used is pure broadlight looting, they take money from you when you buy each device and give you nothing, This is a case of goods and services bought but not fully deliverd ie apple can be suied for discreminatory treatment towards it's users. I wonder why no one tried this yet in America where everyone sue everyone for petty things..... there is no one to take up this issue? . if tim got any love for the guys who shell out money for the devices his company makes, he should be implimenting this as priority before someone wake up from sleep and sue him.

  • When i go to sync my apps with my computer it tells me  ''are you sure you want to sync apps ? all exsisting apps and there data on (iphone) will be replaced with the apps on this itunes library'' does this mean all my data will be lost if i continue ?

    Regarding your broken, previously authorized computer, here's how that works:
    You would authorize your new computer -- maybe you've done that already.  Then you will have two computers authorized.  Apple allows you to have up to five computers authorized at any time.  If you get to five, you can then go to your account details in iTunes and remove all authorizations.
    Bear in mind this is not saying you can synch to more tham one library.  Razmee209 and gdgmacguy's comments above are correct.  But if Apple only allowed you to authorize one computer at a time, then having a broken computer would mean you could no longer use your Apple ID with iTunes.

    Hi john,
    Yes, you would sign out of iTunes & App Store: Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on the Apple ID, click on Sign Out. Then sign back on with the new Apple ID. Also, if you have an iCloud account with the other Apple ID, you would delete that iCloud account, and then sign on with your new ID: Settings>iCloud>Delete Account.
