Does the ipod universal dock need power?

I have an ipod universal dock which I'm trying to connect to a video projector using s-video. Do I need to supply power to the universal dock in order to view videos from my 30GB ipod? onto my projection screen.

Hi,
I do not have the universal dock, so I am not 100% sure, if from what I read from the following link
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300251#tv
It seems that you do not need the power supply to the universal dock, however, if you want to use the remote control of the dock, then you need to connect it either via a computer or iPod ac charger

  • Does the iPod Universal Dock work with the Apple Component AV Cable?

    I have the iPod Universal Dock (MA045G/A) and the Apple Component AV Cable (MB128LL/B)...the ones in the original black packaging.
    I had wanted to connect either my Nano 3G or my iTouch 1G to my TV, but neither would work through the docking station with the AV cable. Both did work when I tried not using the dock and connected both the Nano and the iTouch directly into the AV Cable.
    My dock works great on my Computer, and I tried a second dock (same model) that I had into the TV with the AV cable and it still did not see the connection.
    Is my particular iPod Universal Dock NOT COMPATIBLE with this Apple Component AV Cable (or for that matter, the Composite AV Cable-MB129LL/B)?
    It's not a big deal since both do work with the AV cable by itself...it's just annoying I can't use the dock...

    Are you sure it is genuine Apple cable? If you bought it on eBay or non-authorized Apple dealer it probably isn't. If it is a genuine cable, it is defective, and should be returned.
    When a working genuine Apple A/V cable is plugged into iPhone, a popup appears asking if you want to enable the TV output. Since you are not getting this popup, your cable is bad.

  • Does the ipod touch itself need wifi in order to use find my iphone??

    My ipod touch 4g got stolen and i have find my iphone turned on but my question is does the ipod itself need wifi to track it down??  I've tried so many times i played sound, i have a passcode lock on it, i even sent a message to my ipod... But i try to locate it, it says it's offline.it down?? if so there's no way to point to try to find it Right??

    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with a bank or any other savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  This requires action before the device is lost/stolen.  If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • Menu Button issue with the iPod Universal Dock with Remote

    What is the status of a firmware release to address the inability of the Apple Remote to mimic the menu button on the iPod?
    Is it even possible to update the firmware to provide this functionality? What is the hold up? I am boycotting further hardware purchases until this is taken care of or Apple accept s a return of my Universal Dock, Remote, Second power brick, Firewire cable, and AV cable.
    It is shameful for Apple to have sold these items and not made it clear that the menu button may as well be a sticker.

  • What is included in the "iPod Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack for iPod touch (4th generation)"?

    What's in the box? Is it a small dock you can rest and charge your iPod on, or is it simply an adapter for the £50 Apple Universal Dock?
    Please reply I'm really confused!

    It's only a few adapaters so your iPod can sit and rest properly on Apple's Universal dock.

  • The ipod universal dock just doesnt like cases.

    Its no doubt that all the dock adapters were meant to only fit the ipods with no case or anything. I have an ipod touch with a sort of rubber back caseing. The thing wont fit into any dock adapters, but fits into the dock without an adapter just fine. It seems a bit less stable, but works 100% fine. Is there going to be any problems with it if I continue using it without a dock adapter?

    Hi I too have the i touch and the rubber case. What i did was used the no 10 insert and cut the ends so the case fits in ok i found using no 10 the best

  • HT1380 can the Ipod universal dock be connected to an AV Receiver

    I have just purchased the latest I Pod Touch and want to get a dock that will allow me to connect to my Yamaha AV Receiver. Can this be done?

    The dock will only provide audio and you will need an adopter
    One of these adopters/cables should work:

  • Availability of the Apple Universal Dock & Composite A/V Cable

    Does anyone know if the Apple Universal Dock & Composite A/V Cable for the Touch are in Apple Stores? My daughter purchased what the sales person said were the correct accessories as a surprise b'day gift from the Apple NY Soho store and they sold her the iPod Universal Dock and a Monster Composite (RCA) Audio cable. Wrong! Apparently the sales person did not know what they were doing. When looking at the Apple Online Store it states that they take 3-4 weeks for delivery. BTW, I am waiting for my Touch which is enroute.

    Thank you for the response, but Apple's own support site states otherwise. The iPod Universal Dock uses an S-Video out. The Apple Universal Dock requires the use of the Composite or Component A/V Cable. The Apple site specifies that the iPod Universal is not compatible. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233
    Were you actually able to send your Touch video to your TV via the iPod Universal Dock? If so, I'll give it a shot before returning it.

  • IPhone + Apple iPod Universal Dock?

    Does anyone know if the iPod Universal Dock is really
    compatible with the iPhone? When I plug my iPhone into
    the UD it says "This accessory was not made to work with
    iPhone" and then proceeds to ask if I want to go into
    Airplane mode to reduce audio interference. The actually
    "sync" functionality works perfect. Must have something
    to do with audio/video output ports on the UD?? Anyone???

    I do not have the UD adapter for the iPhone, I just plug
    that puppy right in and hope that i don't hit it as it is
    only being held up by the connector at the bottom. I've
    never had a issue with this and my nano either. I'm too lazy
    to use the adapters! But apple does have an adapter for the
    UD right here :

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!

  • Does the Zen Sleek docking station NEED a power adapt

    I already have a docking station for my Zen Sleek which is connected to my PC.
    I would like to get another one for my hi-fi downstairs so that I can take advantage of the line out socket. Does the dock need power to provide the line-out socket so am I going to have to sort out a second power supply as well?
    If I do need a second power supply, would it be ok to just buy a uni'versal power supply (providing the current is sufficient) and plug that in, which would be cheaper than a Creative OE one?
    Thanks in advance. The Sleek rocks!Message Edited by manoman48 on 06-27-2006 03:55 AM

    The battery pack for the V200 is a different size/shape to the one for the TX, NX, TX FM etc. More important I suppose is whether the actual MP3 module is the same size or not; whether the V200 module will fit in the TX battery compartment or not.
    Creative's official answer will probably be that they are different. On first looks they appear different but someone with both players might be able to give you a better answer.

  • HT1380 I have an Ipod universal dock, but now need adapters. how can I order 16 to 20 adapters only?

    1. I have an Ipod universal dock, but now need adapters. how can I order 16 to 20 adapters only?
    2. Does apple has a lead which has iphone pin on one end and HDMI on the other so that I can connect my universal apple dock to my BOSE V-30 for better sound quality than a composite cable?

    2.
    something like this?

  • Does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?

    does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?  Am going to travel in Europe and want to know if I need to use a convertor with it or if it has the international power supply and I can get by with the appropriate plug adapter.

    They are charged via your computer's USB port. As long as you have a USB charger it will work with the Touch.

  • Using the Alarm clock -- does the ipod need to be on the charger?

    Does the ipod (touch 4g) have to be on the charger in order for the alarm clock to work?
    Or does the ipod "awake" from the off position and sound the alarm?

    The alarm will work if the iPod is asleep (screen goes black automatically after set period of inactivity or you momentarily press the power button and you have to slide to unlock). However, if you power it off (hold power until power off slider appears and you slide it) it will not alarm.

  • Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd Gen) need to be fully charged...

    Does the iPod Shuffle (2nd gen) need to be fully charged (green light) to appear in my iTunes. I just bought one on eBay... not sure if it works. It's plugged into the USB port and the light is orange (solid, not blinking).
    Should I expect it to turn green before it will show up as a Device in my iTunes?

    So, the issue on this one was that I was not plugged directly into my computer - I was using a usb hub. Once I removed the hub and put the ipod shuffle (2nd G) directly into my hard drive it opened up iTunes and I was able to synch. It never did show a green light, until I unplugged it and put the ear buds in, turned on the "on" switch and there was a green light. I hope this helps someone else.
