HELP... iPod 5th gen wont play on docking station

We have 2 iPod 4th gen nano's and both play perfectly well on the docking stations, one being great quality one. The 5th gen nano plays but only with internal speakers even tho connected to docking station....Help.

Did you ever get it to work or does anyone know a reasonably priced docking station that is compatible? I got an Ipod Nano 5G for Christmas. Followed all the instructions and trouble shooting with the same problem. Plays great on the ear buds, but only get scratchy internal speaker when placed on a docking station. I ended up exchanging the ipod. The new one does the same thing. I bought an iHome H10 that is supposed to be compatible, so I assumed it was the Ipod. Im really disappointed in this. The benefit of Apple is the easy transition and compatibility. You shouldn't have to test a hundred docking stations to get one to play an ipod.

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

    Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I understand that your iPod nano is not recognized in iTunes. To troubleshoot this, choose an applicable article below that best describes your issue and is based on your operating system.
    Windows
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
    Mac OS X
    iPod not recognized in iTunes and Mac Desktop
    MacBook and MacBook Air: iPod won't mount when connected via USB hub
    What to do if your computer won't recognize a USB or FireWire device
    Thanks,

  • My ipod 5th gen wont charge or turn on when plugged into the wall or on my docking station

    I have had my iPod for around a year now and it has been perfectly fine........until now. I came home from work to find my iPod was turned off, I assumed that it had just run out of charge. I plugged it in to charge using the power adapter and nothing happens when I put it to charge on my docking station?
    Can anyone help? Or does it look like a new iPod is on the cards?
    Thanks

  • IPod 5th Gen Only play SMALL FILES? : (

    I Have heard from some people and seen on the forum that the new 5th gen.'s only play very small sized files. Does this mean i cant watch movies that are say...an hour long?
    Is this rumor fact or fiction? PLEASE RESPOND

    Does your audio cut out at all on your Matrix Reloaded? I've tried to covert it a few times and every time this movie has had issues. About every two minutes the audio cuts out. If I restart the video it starts up again but will cut out again a few minutes later. The video is perfect and plays flawlessly on quicktime but my iPod has issues with it. When I asked Apple support they said it could be a scratched hardrive but I can put several copies on my iPod and they all cut out at the exact same spot. Any suggestions?

  • Updated ipod touch now wont charge in docking station

    Updated my ipod touch now it wont charge in my docking station help!!!!!

    Some user's have resolved the problem by:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    For others you have to wiat for an firmware update from either Apple or the dock manufacturer.
