Docking systems compatible with 4th Gen Nano?

Can anyone give me a list of current docking stations on the market that are compatible with the new 4th generation Nano chrome? I'm looking to get one for my daughter who got one for Christmas. And, as many of you have mentioned, I was unpleasantly surprised to see that it is incompatible with my existing docking systems!
Thanks.

Boombox or Dock w/Skrs and Charger compatible with 5th Gen Nano?

So I'm trying to research devices that are COMPLETELY compatible with the 5th Gen Nano. Please don't recommend the Apple store as I do not find the compatibility information I seek (most manufacturers only claim w.r.t. music playback).
Most all 3rd party devices that are "compatible" will play 5th gen Nano music through speakers (of course - what would be the point otherwise), but if they possess a charging feature, they were designed and manufactured well before Apple changed the connector arrangement on the 5th Gen Nano, and so will not charge.
Has anyone compiled a list of devices that are compatible both in terms of music playback and charging with the 5th gens?
Thanks.

It's good to know someone like yourself has both 4th and 5th gen and can definitely state they charge the same (I am assuming with the same USB cable).
So - theoretically, if I find a device that will both charge a 4th gen and playback a 4th gen, it will do the same with the 5th gen? I think this is what you are implying. That is what I am hoping.
I cannot find this in writing, and I suspect some of the devices on the Apple Store will not play but NOT charge a 4th gen nano, so the same will be true of the 5th gen.
OK, price-point is less than $100... portable (plays on battery) or AC powered. WILL charge a 5th gen nano. Nice if it had a remote. OK if it has a clock. OK if it has a FM tuner (how would one use the Ipod to tune FM if the earphones were not connected (used as an antenna)?
Thank you.

Problems with 4th Gen Nano

I got a yellow iPod nano late August from my aunt as a going away present for college. Since then, my iPod needs to constantly restart. If I unplug it from the macbook, I need to restart it in order for it to work normally. Then, when I turn it off to reserve power and turn it back on later, it either restarts completely instead of being on the music screen. Sometimes, It won't turn on AT ALL, despite the fact that I have full battery!
I had a first and second generation iPod nano and when I turned them off and turned them back on, it wouldn't have a problem at all. Is my current iPod a dud?
Thanks!
Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.6)

Update: I just put it into Disk Mode, and then it finally showed up in both iTunes and Finder. When I then tried to restore it, error message 1429 popped up. (The iPod then disappeared from both iTunes and Finder.) Following Apple's resolution, I'm supposed to eject it from iTunes, but how am I supposed to do that when it's not showing? The screen says "Do not disconnect."

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.

Suggested sound dock for the 4th gen nano

Hi, I'm getting my son a new nano for Christmas, and wanted to get a sound dock to go with it.The nano is the 4th gen unit.
Q: Which sound docks work with the 4gen and will charge it
My price range is up to $100
The Klipsch units get good reviews but it's unclear to me if they support this unit or will charge it while docked.
Many thanks

The Altec Lansing iM310 speakers work with the nano 4th gen (both charge and play). These speakers are carried by both Best Buy and Circuit City. The specs that show up on a lot of the online descriptions don't say it's compatible with the 4th gen, but if you go directly to Altec Lansing's website, it clearly states it is.
About $80 everywhere.

In Chile with NEW 4th Gen Nano that won't charge

I am visiting in Chile with my family and we have two NEW 4th Gen Nanos that won't stay on after being unplugged from the computer. My daughter has a 1 year old MacBook and I have a HP PC with Vista. She had a 3rd generation Nano that worked fine on her USB port and all my PC's USB ports are 2.0 compatible. Help???

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

Sync 4th gen nano with iPad

How can I sync my 4th gen nano with the music I have in my iphone4 or iPad2? I no longer use a regular computer, and have music in my iPad I want to put on my iPod. Is it possible?

No. Music can only be synced to the Nano via iTunes on a PC or Mac.

Can bomberman game work with 4th Gen ipod Nano?

In the games section it says they all work for the 3rd and 4th gen ipods and then inside the games it says different in some cases, and in the bomberman game one it says only the 3rd gen nano, will this not work with the 4th gen nano? Lemme know thanks! AIM me at azrael4791 about this! THanks!

You're looking at this one, right?

Interesting, the main page does say 3rd & 4th gen nanos, but the Bomberman page doesn't. However some of the other games I checked randomly do say 4th gen nano.
If I were you, I'd contact Hudson Software - the makers of that iPod click-wheel game.

Can't import TV show from Itunes to 4th gen nano-running OSX 10.5 with Imac

This message has also been posted to the general use forum of the 4th gen nano forum.
Bought my daughter a 4th gen nano for Christmas. Also purchased a TV show from Itunes some time back.
This TV show has been in Itunes for months, and is on my 5th gen Ipod and plays fine, but will not import to the 4th gen nano.
Here is what I have done so far:
1.Plugged the nano into the computer, highlighted nano, clicked TV show tab, clicked the TV show we wanted to sync, then clicked the sync button.
2.I downloaded a sample movie into Itunes from the apple support site, and it won't import into the nano.
3.After researching, I downloaded and reinstalled Itunes and Quicktime both.
Nothing seems to be working.
Funny thing is, there was one music video that imported from Itunes to the nan when I first registered and set it up, and it plays fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

My 13 yr. old daughter solved this problem, and successfully imported the TV show to her Ipod.
She tells me she has no idea how she did it, she just did it.
So, although I guess my problem is solved, I'd still love to know what the answer is.

What's wrong? Having problems with a 4th gen nano.

My 4th gen nano's clock is frozen and trying to change the time causes the screen to freeze. Resetting it brings it "back to normal", but the clock's still frozen. The lock hardly works, and the iPod starts playing music randomly. It is not recognized by iTunes or Finder; iTunes seems to eject it before recognizing it or saying it's plugged in. The following error message says that it should be ejected properly and that iTunes/Finder will try to restore it the next time it's connected.
None of the solutions in the Help Center fixed it and the screen's now frozen at "Connected."
Other than that, it's working perfectly fine...

Update: I just put it into Disk Mode, and then it finally showed up in both iTunes and Finder. When I then tried to restore it, error message 1429 popped up. (The iPod then disappeared from both iTunes and Finder.) Following Apple's resolution, I'm supposed to eject it from iTunes, but how am I supposed to do that when it's not showing? The screen says "Do not disconnect."

Weird Bugs with new 4th Gen Nano

I've been getting weird bugs only a week after I bought a 16GB Orange 4th Generation iPod Nano on ebay New of course. First off, while at school the other day, it shut off and the apple screen showed for about 30 seconds. Then none of my 600 songs would play. However, I reset the ipod by pressing the center button and menu and holding them down for a few seconds. What do you think is wrong? Thank you so much.

I just bought a PURPLE 4th Gen Nano 8gig, and I have been having the same problem. If I skip to the next song more than 4 times, the Nano shuts off and reboots. I did have one particular song, when "played," that was causing it to shut down, so I removed it. I did not attempt to re-sync it. Now, if I skip to next track more than 4 times, it shuts down and reboots. This happens a few times a day. Depending on my mood, I may not want to listen to Rock tracks that day, so I skip them to get to my R&B tracks. Some days I want to listen to DANCE tracks. So, for clarity's sake, I do tend to skip songs a lot. But that should not be cause for constant reboots, from any MP3 player. It certainly was never a problem for my Sandisk Sansa e280, that I owned before switching to iPod.
Another item that bothers me is that my tracks are not all in alphabetical order. Or rather, I should say, they are listed alphabetically in multiple sections. Out of 1500+ songs, there are approx. 20 sections of A-Z. For example: If you scroll through the song list A-Z, you will not find Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy." But after Z, the list "continues" A-Z again!! But "Nature Boy" is not in that list either. The list continues on AGAIN, A-Z... and viola, there is "Nature Boy." In the THIRD section of A-Z of the song list. Anyone, have a clue as to WHY the entire library of music is not listed alphabetically? But rather parceled out in sections?? None of the tracks are repeated, each section of A-Z contains different tracks!! It makes finding a song you are wanting to hear, a real chore!! And is NOT indicative of a world class company, nor a world class product.
And before anyone reads off their teleprompter as to how "I should check to see that my computer is blah, blah, blah......" It IS up-to-date. Every driver, every piece of software, every security definition, every release, every add-on. I spent an entire weekend making absolutely POSITIVE that THAT issue was resolved. Vista SP1, Windows Defender, IE7, Firefox 3, iTunes 8, eve-ry-th-ing!! Been there, done that, got the T-shirt. I'm looking for a little thing called "real answers." Thanks.

4th gen nano

the display is sideways when plugged into my docking station. Can the display be rotated?

My coworkers 4th Gen Nano arrived this morning and the first thing we did was compare the connectors to my 2nd and 3rd Gen Nanos. Unfortunately it looks like neither of the prior Lanyard headphones will work with the 4th Gen and so far there is no sign that Apple intends to resurrect the concept. I know that I won't be buying a 4th Gen until they do. To make matters worse I believe that Apple has a patent on the concept so no third party will be able to step up and fill in the gap.

HT1351 Got a used 4th gen nano, but i need to sync it. i can see it but i cant figure out how to authorize it

Got a used 4th gen nano and I need to sync it with my library on my computer. I can see the ipod but i cant figure out how to authorize it

You don't need to "authorize" it, unless you are trying to sync content that uses DRM (copy protection). You probably just need to set up syncing.
First, if the iTunes sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar. The iPod appears in the sidebar, under DEVICES, when connected.
Select the iPod in the sidebar. The iPod's Summary screen is shown to the right. Toward the top, there is a bar of buttons, starting with Summary. Click on Music to the right of Summary. This Music screen is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. If your iTunes music library is small enough to fit on the iPop's storage, you can choose to sync Entire music library. Otherwise, choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. From the lists below, select what you want to sync the iPod. One convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library, and put ALL of the songs you want on the iPod on those playlists. (Or you can use existing playlists.) Back on the iPod's Music screen, select (checkmark) those playlists under Playlists. You can also select other items on those lists, as desired.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs the songs in your selections to the iPod. Going forward, to update the iPod, just update those playlists in your iTunes library (add/remove songs). The iPod does not need to be connected. The next time you connect the iPod (or click Sync if already connected), iTunes updates the iPod with the same changes automatically.
