How bad is to keep iPod docked?

I'm going to keep my iPod docked on iPod Hi-Fi most of time. Is that bad for iPod's battery?

No it isn't, but at least once a month you need to exercise the battery by doing a recharge cycle, i.e., take it off the charger, run the battery pretty low, put it back in the HiFi to charge it.

HT201363 My iPhone, iPad and iPod are all associated with the same Apple ID. How can I remove the iPod and associate it with a new Apple ID without affecting the data on the other devices (note: there is no data on the iPod I want to keep)?

Very simple. Turn off Find my iDevice, then Tap Settings, General, Erase, Erase all content and settings.

I know this is old - but did you ever get this working. Thinking of getting a 780 ti card and I have an older mac with the mini-displayport too.

How do I clean out my ipod dock?

You can try with a toothbrush and distilled water and rinse very well. Shake and towel dry then try in a bag of uncooked rice for a week or so, It may be OK.

How loud should I keep my iPod Touch?

I've heard one can recieve hearing loss listening to anything above 80 dB for a certain length of time. How loud should I keep the volume on my iPod Touch. Also, does anyone know how many dB each volume "block" is worth?

You are close to the mark. There are similar "standards" extant regarding the wearing of hearing protection. When I was on active duty in the Navy, I had to wear double hearing protection (ear plugs and ear muffs) on the flight deck (DUH!!!) , in most engineering spaces (engine rooms, fire rooms, catapault machinery rooms, etc.) and during small arms training/qualifications. Inspite of all of that, after serving for over 21 years I have enough hearing loss to require hearing aids.
The best way to describe what happens is similar to what happens when you walk on your front lawn. You can do it a few times will little or no apparent damage, but over time you will wear out a path in your yard. Hearing loss is the same way.
Do your self a favor: Keep the volume as low as possible and limit the amount of time you listen using ear buds. If you cannot hear someone talking over your music, the music is too loud. Also, do not insert ear buds far enough to make a seal. You may get a "better sound" but the sealing effect traps the air pressure fluctuations in the ear canal, intensifying not only the sound level, but also decreasing the time it takes to cause damage to your hearing.

Finally, the volume graphic is no where close to being a qualitative measure of how many dBs your ear buds are generating.

How can I get an ipod replacement dock on my Ilive it188b or have it repaired?

My iPod cannot turn on, however it can when it is on my iPod dock. It won't even sync into my computer. Once I take it off of my dock it automatically turns black and I can't turn t on. How can I get it back to normal?

How to keep the dock always on the main screen?

Hi
I have a Wacom Cintiq as my secondary screen, positioned below the main monitor of MacBook Pro
The problem is, that with this positioning, the Dock always jumps to the bottom of the Cintiq screen. I don't want it that way - I need to use Cintiq only as my drawing space, and keep the dock at the main screen. How can I do that (without repositioning the screens in the prefs)?
Thanks

Maybe you should consider reinstalling it in order to make it work again!

HT1420 I just bought my cousin's ipod, and I want to update it on my computer. However, it needs authorization from his account to keep all the apps, and he's already authorized it on 5 computers. How can I update this ipod without losing all the apps?

You cannot use someone else's apps without violating the license agreement. The apps are tied to the owner (via Apple ID). The right thing to do would be to update and start fresh.

How to use bluetooth ipod dock and external speakers together

Hi
Is there anyway to make my speakers, conected to the headphone socket at the rear of my iMac, and a bluetooth Ipod dock play together.
I've bought a Bose dock with bluetooth thinking I could then have the radio or songs playing in two different rooms but I can't seem to find out how to make the computer play through the speakers and the bluetooth, I have to pick one or the other.
It's on OSX 10.6.7
Thanks for any help as this has really disappointed me

David, here's my interpretation of what you just posted:
iPod nano Dock enables quick connectivity if you have a desktop computer without an easily accessible USB 2.0 port. No more reaching behind the computer to plug it in just place iPod nano in the dock and its ready to sync with iTunes and charge its battery. <<</div>
This means that the dock connection connects to the internal battery and allows you to transfer data (sync w/ iTunes).
And you can plug a stereo mini cable to its line-out port and enjoy a clean, direct connection to a stereo or powered speakers<<</div>
This means you can plug a stereo mini cable into the same port you use to plug in your headphones. The other end would go into your stereo or powered speakers. Which means no dock connection with line out audio!
I would not be able to use the nano with my Altec Lansing speakers or my Sik Imp (which is how I listen to my iPod mini in my Honda Element). So no nano for me!
Apple's marketing strategy is all too clear to me now. They didn't discontinue the mini, their best selling iPod, because that's what everyone is trying to copy. They discontinued it because they felt sales of the mini were cannibalizing sales of hte regular iPod. If you wanted something more compact than the iPod but wanted dock connectivity to all the various accessories, you bought a mini. Now you buy the nano for compactness AND the regular iPod to use with the accessories. So where one product satisfied two needs for the average user (not the afficianados that have iPod collections) Apple will now happily sell you two products.
To all those people who asked what the mini has that the nano doesn't, this looks like it: line out audio through the dock connection. A very important feature!

How do I keep the dock on my main monitor?

Hi, I'm running OS X 10.9 on my MacBook Pro which is connected to a larger Multisync LCD monitor 90% of the time. I like to have the monitors set up so the larger one is the main one that has the menu bar and dock. When I upgraded to Maveric I cannot figure out how to keep the dock on the main monitor. Sometimes when I'm working it will disapear from the main monitor and show up on the laptop monitor. If I reboot the doc goes back to the larger main monitor but I cannot figure out how to do this while I'm working. Rebooting is not an effective option.

In System Preferences > Mission Control > UNcheck "Displays have seperate spaces". Your second monitor will now function the way it did in 10.8.

I would try the router reset. That's sadly all I got.

How bad does my iPod touch battery have to be to get a replacement battery?

My iPod battery seems to be not holding charge very well at all. I was thinking about making an appointment to get a new battery at the Apple store. But just how badly functioning does my battery have to be to get the replacement? I'm still under warranty.
Also, will they just replace my battery, or the whole iPod? If they only replace my battery will my data be saved?

Apple generally replaces these type of items.. even if its a battery issue. They use to be more lenient about replacing the product, however due to everyone taking advantage of it, now they test it first to see if what you are saying adds up. My advice is, you should take it there and have them test the battery and if it is really big noticable difference from a good battery charge they will replace the whole product.
As far as data... you need to backup the ipod onto your computer before you go there! or you WILL lose all data!
Also, if a battery does have poor performance within under a year; your probably not charging it right and or have the screen brightness on to high along with wifi always turned on and blue tooth!
Hope this helps Lauren!
