Docking/Charger station with speakers--recommendations needed.

I am looking for a docking station/ charger with speakers for my son.  He has an iPad mini and an iPhone 4.  I need a station that will charge even with the case on.  Any recommendations?

The iPod 4 and iPad Mini use different connection types, so its unlikely you'll be able to find a dock with both types.
Perhaps your best bet is to find a dock tha has 2 or more 30 pin connectors and use the Lightning to 30 pin adapter from Apple for the iPad Mini.
Or find a Universal powerd USB Hub and use that to charge the devices.
As it stands there doesn't seem to be a device that can charge  both types of devices and then have speakers.

Thias for example will charge both of them simultaneously using each of their included USB cables, but has no speakers.

  • I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning)

    I want to buy a dock station with speakers and radio wich can support my ipad2 (30 pin connector) and also my iphone 5 (lightning). I would be glad to get your help.

    If you get the 30 pin dock get an Apple genuine adapter the rip-offs often do not work correctly
    If you buy a lightning dock a company called Sandberg makes the reverse adapter ,I have one and it works correctly
    As tonefox said i got the sandberg from Amazon

  • Will 4G dock/charger work with 5G iPod?

    I just bought a 5G 30GB iPod to replace my 4G 40GB iPod that died about one month after the Apple Care ran out. (Funny how that happens, isn't it? The repair on the old one would have cost about $280, thus the decision to replace.) I see the new iPod comes with a USB 2.0 cable and a "dock adapter for use with Universal Dock." Can I use with my new 5G iPod the following items I received and used with my 4G iPod: (1) dock, (2) charger that plugs into the wall, (3) firewire cable that runs from the dock/charger to my iBook, and (4) USB cable that runs from the dock/charger to my iBook?
    Thanks!

    Assuming everything interfaces nicely (e.g. the 5th gen's connector matches the 4th gen's connector) then the answer to your questions are yes. You can charge a 5th generation iPod off of either USB or Firewire, but you can not sync your iPod with Firewire anymore, that feature was removed, but it will still charge off a Firewire connection.

  • Problem using docking station with ipod 5th generation

    just bought an ipod touch, 5th generation, with the Lightening connector. Bought an Acoustic solutions docking station with the same small lightening connector but when I dock I can only charge the ipod and not play music through the docking station. Does anyone have same problems playing music with a 5th generation ipod that has the new small lightening connector?...I bumped into someone at Argos who said they are having the same problem not being able to play music from the new iphone 5 that has the lightening connector and even if you use a adaptor to make it 30 pin connector compatable it still doesnt work, any help will be appreciated, thanks

    Does Acoustic Solutions say it will work with your model iPod and iOS 7.0.4?
    Have you went to their support site?
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                                
    iOS: How to back up                                                                                     
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.             
    Sometimes an iOS updates breaks compatibility and yo will have to wait for iOS update or an update to the dock's firmware.

  • Recommendations for a USB Charging Stations

    We purchased 3 USB charging stations about a year ago made by http://easy-doks.com/. One bit the dust a couple of days ago. I was told to contact them and do a RMA. I did not purchase these but, being under a year I thought no problem. I contacted them and they promptly sent me back a short kind ofrude email saying that it was after 90 there wouldbe no return or repair. Really 90 days on a piece of equipment that cost $500. I couldn't believe it. Again I wasn't involved with the purchase or we wouldn't of bought these units. I couldn't find there warranty anywhere on their site. So now I am involved in finding a replacement and probably 2 more in the future. I was looking at some of the Trip-Lite units that look nice and they come with a 2 year warranty.I was just curiouswhat other Spiceheads are using. Any recommendations would be...

    Has anyone ever did something that caused sparks to fly, or magic smoke in some device to escape?
    I've had a couple, but it was old older stuff which was next to worthless so I just tinkered with and sometimes things happened. A couple times I went to plug in an additional drive or something and would touch one the 5 or 12V lead to the ground on the HDD and it shutdown the system.
    I removed all the casing, cooler from an old 200MHZ pII and it got to like 300F and started to pop and smoke.
    I think my biggest one would be I was working on my home backup server I was doing something with the power to the SCSI raid cage and somehow in soldering and trying to fix the wires I managed to cross the 12V and the 5V. It blew out the backplane board....

  • What is the best dock with speakers for a new ipod classic

    I need to purchase a new ipod classic and portiable dock with speakers for my organization.  What would be best for a classroom setting?

    I would say Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign are the industry standard in design. But not the most affordable if your are on a tight budget. Photoshop elements has most of major features as the full version of Photoshop but is much cheaper. You can also download a trail version of the Adobe products from Adobe's website for your son to try out.
    Also, look in the app store on the Featured page, there is a link on the right, "Apps for Designers". There you can find several image editing and vector programs he could try. There might be a few layout programs as well.
    I would say if he is serious about getting into graphic design, Adobe products are the way to go. 

  • Thunderbolt Docking Station with 2 Ports...

    I'm new to the forums. Please forgive my noob status. I have a Belkin Thunderbolt docking station with 2 Thunderbolt ports (as well as a number of other useful connecting ports). My MacBook Pro has 2 of them also. If I connect my MacBook with TWO cables, one in each port, will this double (or at least increase) the transfer speed to and from my laptop, over and above the use of 1 TB Cable?
    Thanks!

    That dock is designed for one TB input from your Mac.  The other ports on the dock are for additional TB devices to be connected.  They are not made for parallel inputs.

  • Static Problem: iPhone 3G in Auto with Apple Univ Dock, Charger

    Here's my car setup: iPhone 3G in a first-generation Apple Universal Dock. The dock is connected to a Belkin PowerJolt SE charger via the dock connector AND a stereo cable from the dock's line-out connected to my car's AUX input.
    When just the line-out is connected to the dock, I get clear, clean audio. When the Belkin charger AND the line-out is connected to the dock, I get ongoing static and diminished volume.
    I'd like to be able to both charge my iPhone 3G AND have it connected to my car stereo. Any help on how to lose the static here? Or will the second-generation Apple Universal Dock will fare better?
    Thanks!

    Yes, the OEM charger works with both phones. Your English is fine, I've seen much much worse from people who supposedly have English as a first language.

  • Laptops in docking station with lid closed go to sleep during in-place migration from XP to Windows 7

    We have an issue where existing XP laptops are targeted with SCCM 2012 OSD TS for upgrade to Windows 7.  The laptops are in a docking station, with the lid closed.  The laptops are going to sleep when the OSD is booted in WinPE, just before the
    Setup Windows and Configmgr step.  I have copied powercfg.exe from a Windows 8.1 machine (both AMD64 and x86 versions) to the MDT Tool package...." and then a step to run:
    %DeployRoot%\Scripts\%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%\PowerCfg.exe -setacvalueindex 381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e 4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347 5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936 0
    However, the laptops are still sleeping during the Setup Windows and Configmgr step.   Any insight to correcting this will be extremely helpful.

    Hi
    We came across this issue, seems odd that SCCM doesn't suspend the power management in the OS during the TS - (But then again it also seems odd that Windows 7 will go to sleep if you close the lid of a laptop half way through a shutdown, so that when you
    lift the lid it wakes only to complete the shutdown, did MS not spot that, or choose to ignore it!?).
    These commands should be run soon after the Setup Windows and ConfigMgr step and will disable the device and screen from sleep/hibernating:
    Prevent sleep during OSD (Battery power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-dc 0
    Prevent sleep during OSD (AC power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -standby-timeout-ac 0
    Prevent monitor off during OSD (Battery power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -monitor-timeout-dc 0
    Prevent monitor off during OSD (AC power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -monitor-timeout-ac 0
    Prevent hibernate during OSD (Battery power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -hibernate-timeout-dc 0
    Prevent hibernate during OSD (AC power)
    cmd.exe /c powercfg -x -hibernate-timeout-ac 0
    At the end of the TS, you can revert these changes by running the following command to reset the power scheme:
    powercfg -restoredefaultschemes
    Hope this helps
    Thank you.  However, we did put similar steps in our Task Sequence right after the "Setup Windows and..." step, but the issue we are having is that the "Sleep" occurs during the "Setup Windows and...." so it never reaches
    anything after that step until the lid is opened.

  • Random "clicking" sound when 16GB iPod touch docked with speakers

    Hi all,
    My friend recently got a 16GB iPod touch. It works fine with headphones but whenever she docks it into her speakers or my own a random clicking sound can be heard. It doesn't matter if the thing is actually playing a track or not, so long as it's docked on the speakers the sound is heard. It also happens with the wi-fi switched off.
    She recently paid the £12.99 for the update that adds Google maps etc. so I was thinking maybe that would update the firmware and fix the problem but it hasn't. I'm suspecting a fault with her iPod, has anyone else encountered this issue and knows of a fix short of returning it to Apple for a working one?
    Thanks in advance,
    8

    Thanks very much, that seems to have fixed it!
    Must admit I was a little skeptical but on my speakers (Altec Lansing ones) it's silent when not playing music and no distortions or clicks are audible when it is. On my friend's own speakers (some fairly anonymous brand) there is a little hissing and clicking but I think they do that with my own 1st generation Nano plugged in. She's getting some new Logitech ones, a set for her living room and another for her bedroom so hopefully that's it sorted.
    Cheers again!

  • Usb expansion dock station with arch

    Hi guys,
    I'm the owner of a dell xps m1330 and i was wondering to buy the kingston exapsion dock station with the video out. It is connected to the laptop using a usb cable.
    I know it works with winzozz obviously, but i don't know anything about its support with linux.
    Is there any problem to transmit video out through usb to the dock and then to the external video lcd?
    thanks in advance

    What kind of video card do you have?
    Just from my Dell XPS m1530, I have a nvidia card and within "System >> Preferences >> NVIDIA Server Settings", I am able to plug in a VGA cable on the side and have it recognize it almost instantly. I know tried it on a projector but still, it that worked, I would say you should be ok with the monitor part.
