HT1665 Bose sound dock with the new Lightning connection of an iPhone5?

There are many accessories for use with the original 30pin connector, how are we to use these still great and useful items like sound dock with the new lightning connector?

Use the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter - this will make your iPhone or iPod very wobbly on the SoundDock.  To correct this and prevent damage to the 30-pin connector, make a upper support for your device from a white polymer eraser. Cut it in an 'L' shape as shown in the photo, the dimensions depending on whether you do or don't dock with a case.  You'll find your device is even more stable than when you used the 30 pin adapter.  One eraser will make 3-4 of these supports, depending on the dimensions you choose.

  • IPhone 5 doesn't work with Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter.

    I just upgraded to iPhone 5.  To my huge disappointment, I can not use it with my Bose sound dock using the 30-pin adapter. That is just ridiculous, after spending so much money!!! I tried using another cable and it works but sound is of poor quality

    I have the SoundDock 10 and generally use the Bluetooth connection.
    I have just reinserted the 30 pin normal socket ( as in normal SoundDock)
    the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter and with iPhone 5 have perfect
    sound
    It works so something in your set up is faulty possibly the adapter
    some have posted issues

  • Bose Sound Dock for the 5th generation

    Is there an adapter for the Bose Sound Dock for the use of the 5th generation iPods ??.
    thanks
    Jorge R.

    Johnny, this is a really bad idea to post on a thread that is 2 months old, if I hadn't had the e-mail response turned on I never would have know about your post. It's ALWAYS MUCH BETTER to start your own thread instead of posting on such an old thread.
    I had a 3G iPod when I bought the Bose. The 5G docks in the Bose without any dock adaptor at all. I even dock in the Bose with my agent18 case on. Hope this helps! Again, next time please start a new thread!!!!

  • Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
    Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

  • What's with the new lightning cords??

    I've only had my iPhone for a year and I have already gone through 7 chargers. I know many other people that have had the same problem.. I'm so tired of buying new chargers that continue to fail me.

    Then you're choice,
    try handling the cables a little more carefully ,as in pulling out at plug not tugging on wire

  • TS1630 Sound issues with the new 5c?

    I've today just gotten the iPhone 5c, and when my boyfriend called me he said he could barely hear me and the volume was going from loud to quiet. I've only just got this phone and it seems to be defective already. Anyone else with this issue?

    Same here... I am so mad, I cant even tell... Just got the iPhone 5C unlocked directly from the Apple Store in Las Vegas Fashion Show Mall one week ago and it is already defective. It semmed to work fine until today... Now I don´t even know what to do. I´ve tried everything on the article and nothing works. The worst part: I live in Venezuela and they do not offer service in this country... GREAT!
    By the way, this one is my second iPhone. Previously I owned the iPhone 4 and had the same issue when I bought it.

  • Questions about the new SBO2007 connection method

    Hi all
    Anyone who can clear up the following programs for me:
    1 - With the new DI connection method multible add-ons can share the same DI-API connection (1 add-on = 80 MB, 2 add-ons = 81.5 MB and so on). But is this sharing user-specific or machine specific... Imagine 10 user on a terminal server all running only one add-on. Will those 10 instances of the same add-on share DI-API connections and in total use 93.5MB (80 + 91.5) or 800MB (1080)?
    2 - Am I correct in assuming that the new connection method works when creating internal add-ons (running within the SBO client) or will external add-ons benefit in any way?
    3 - Does the SAP add-ons allready use the new connection system?
    4 - In the explaination of the new DI connect method the help file states "It is highly recommended to use XML format of the DI-API.".. What does this mean?... The connection itself does not seem to have any xml involved.

    Hi Rasmus,
    I haven't seen any official test results but here's what we have found so far:
    1) The shared DI API resource is stored within the SAP Business One client executable. This means that this grows by 80MB during the first connection but stays the same size as other addons connect. The addons themselves typically now take up 10-15MB (ie like an addon that only uses the UI API). On a Citrix or Terminal Server, as each user has their own SBO executable, the DI API connection will take 80MB+ per user session (assuming all addons are connecting using this new method).
    2) As far as I know, this new connection method is only available for applications that use the UI API to connect to the SBO client (the GetDICompany method is on the UI API company object and not part of the DI API).
    3) The SAP Fixed Assets and Outlook Integration addons do not use the new connection method (tested on patch 35). The rest I don't know about as we don't typically use them here in NZ. It would be really useful for SAP to make an official statement on this topic as it would definitely influence my decisions on using the new method.
    4) I'm not sure what they mean either :-\
    The biggest problem I found with this new connection method is debugging. When writing an addon, each time I ran a new debug session, the SBO client executable would grow by 70-80MB as it created a new DI API connection. However, when the debug session ended, the SBO executable did not release the memory used. After 4-5 debug sessions, the SBO client was taking 1/2GB of memory and couldn't be closed. This meant I had to close and reopen SBO every 2-3 debug sessions, which was a bit of a pain. In the end I reverted to writing using the old connection method and changed it over as a last step. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or this is a weakness in the new connection method while developing.
    I also read that SAP are advising that a shared DI API connection can lower performance in some cases.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • We have a new iPod  Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac.  We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level.  Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

    Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what  "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"),  should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music?  Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
    There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing.  Any suggestions?

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

  • Bose Sound Docks are no longer compatible with Apple iPhones or iPods?

    When plugging my iPhone 4S or 5, or my iPod 3rd Gen or 7th Gen into my Bose Sound Dock, I recieve a message that reads, "This iPhone/iPod is not compatible with this accessory" and will not play stored music.
    Background Info: 
         - The Bose Sound Dock was designed to support Apple products.
         - All software/OS on the Apple products is current as of Dec 2013.
         - The Bose product doesn't have update-able software associated with it.
         - Clearly, something has changed with the Apple products.
    What can be done to fix this so that iPhones and iPods will play again on Bose products?
    I've unplugged/replugged the Bose Sound Dock, and I've powered down and powered up the Apple products expecting that something would reset, but these steps have proved to be ineffective and nothing has changed.

    Ok, I was having the same issue which is why I came across this post (in search of an answer). I MAY have figured it out...I have an iPod, don't-remember-what generation, and it has always worked with my Bose sound dock portable speaker, approx 2-3 years. Anyway, a few months ago, the Bose stopped picking up that I "docked" my iPod onto it. A long while has gone by and we haven't done anything about it bc our speaker was out of warranty and didn't want to spend the $100 it costs to repair (thru Bose, don't know about other places $, but I've learned the hard way to stick to manufacturer for high-end brand device repair). Long story short, we really missed using our speaker outside and I decided to send it in instead of buying a new one (new one-year warranty comes with the repair, so I figured it was $100 cheaper than buying a new one). An added note, we tried putting my husbands iPhone 4S on the dock and it didn't read it, either; the Bose didn't charge either device, didn't acknowledge in anyway that a device was on the dock attachment piece. Back to present day... I got my speaker back from Bose, and I was so happy to try it out. I put my iPod on the attachment, and voila! It charged the iPod (so clearly it registered that a device was attached), but DID NOT PLAY MUSIC....Exact same message about incompatibility. So, when my husband got home, we tried his phone (this is last week, literally, and I was mad thinking it was the recent apple software update and that I just threw away $100). Guess what? His phone worked! Pandora, his music, you name it. When I called Bose and suggested it could be a software update issue? They replied it wasn't, that the sound dock works with the devices after update, but the piece was still bad, as it was not working correctly if it was not playing the iPod, regardless of the new update, and/or what generation it was. So my thoughts are that it is the attachment where you sit your device on the Bose that has gone faulty. I packaged up my speaker and it's going backs to Bose at their expense to repair. It stinks that I won't have it for Christmas to play music as we enjoy the outdoors, but at this point, I will just be content if they get it to work again!

  • I purchased the 5s yesterday and wanted to dock the phone into my Bose Sound Dock that I use for my IPOD and used for my previous Apple smart phone.  What steps do I need to take to use the feature of Pandora on this IPOD dock

    I purchased a Apple 5s yesterday replacing my two year old Apple 3G.  With my old phone I used it to dock into a Bose Sound Dock to listen to Pandora and other music outlets.  The Bose dock also is used to play my IPOD.  What steps do I need to take to use my new phone on this dock to continue playing Pandora

    This is the only thing I could find but it does not answer my question or even what I was told by the Global Support Rep.
    Verizon has confirmed (here and here) they WILL unlock the SIM on the iPhone 4S, allowing for use of local SIM cards while traveling abroad (no word yet on whether this will allow for use on AT&T and T-Mobile.) This is different than the jailbreak unlocking method; SIM unlocking through Verizon is permanent and will not affect your warranty in any way.
    1. Meet the following requirements:
    * Must be a Verizon Wireless customer.
    * The iPhone 4S being unlocked must be active on a Verizon Wireless line of service.
    * The line of service must be active at least 60 days.
    * The line of service must be in good standing for the past 60 days.
    * Only one SIM Unlock per line every 10 months.
    If you don't meet one or more of the above requirements, call anyway. You may still get lucky.
    2. Insert a foreign SIM into the SIM card slot on the side of your phone (only required to confirm that the unlock is successful.)
    3. Call 1-800-711-8300 (Verizon Global Support) and ask the representative for a SIM unlock. Occassionally a representative may not know exactly what you are referring to; make sure you are not transferred to a different department. You are in the right place. Explain that they should have a walkthrough on how to do this, and that it allows for the use of local, non-Verizon SIM cards while traveling abroad.
    4. Get confirmation from the rep that the unlock has been applied to your account, then check your phone to make sure it recognizes your SIM and can connect (if successful it will roam on AT&T, assuming you are calling from the USA.) You will NOT see an unlock confirmation in iTunes as that is for a factory-applied unlock only.
    5. Enjoy your new unlocked iPhone 4S!

  • 4.3 not compatible with Bose sound dock

    I updated iPhone 3GS to 4.2 then 4.3 last week and I now get an error about incompatible product when I plug it in to my new Bose sound dock 10 (and I get no sound).before the updates it worked fine. My wife has the same phone still running 4.0.1 and hers still works fine. Any suggestions?
    Perhaps apple would like to refund my $1000 spent on the sound dock

    I am not sure about the certification you are talking about (will check) spoke to both apple phone support and BOSE support. Neither had heard about it or come across it. Apple suggested to contact BOSE and see if there was an update (which can't be done) - Spoke to BOSE and at least they were going to get someone who had an Iphone 3gs to update theirs and do a test. I did visit the apple reseller where I purchased the sound dock and they were no help stating they had no way of logging anything with apple. tried the iphone in another sound dock 10 which did exactly the same thing.

  • My new Bose sound dock will not charge my itouch

    Bose confirmed this in an email:
    Hello Mr. XXXXX:
    The iPod® Touch models are compatible with existing SoundDock® digital music system inserts. If your SoundDock system came with two universal inserts, then use the A insert for the 8GB and 16GB iPod Touch models.
    If your SoundDock system came packaged with five inserts, order a new set of universal inserts by emailing us the SoundDock serial number and color, your daytime telephone number, and UPS shipping address. We will send you a set of universal inserts at no charge.

  • Macbook Pro bluetooth problems with a Bose sound dock 10

    So a while ago I bought my Bose Sound dock 10 and the bluetooth between both my Mac and iPhone has been great. But then OS X Mavericks came out and I start having issues with connecting through bluetooth for the first time. I have to go to the Sound dock and remove the bluetooth port, then put it back in, then try to connect from my Mac again but then having to do the process again. I know this isn't a fault with the Bose product itself as my iPhone 4 connects with absolutely no problems running iOS 7 and as do other Apple products that my family owns.
    I have a 13", Mid 2012 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.3 with bluetooth version 4.2.4f1 13674 (v131 c5492)

    @Matthew9391 - here is a great link that helped me get my Bose Sound dock 10 going.
