Ihome dock damaged ipod?

I have a new ipod dock (the iHome iH5), not an Apple product. I put my iPod (20GB) in the dock & charged it. Then, I turned it on to shuffle. Songs skipped a bit & now my iPod is totally screwed up. All the songs are gone; my computer doesn't recognize the iPod & even after opening the updater and doing a restore, when I open iTunes, nothing happens--I get a message that I've inserted an unrecognizable disk. Very frustrating.
So, I have many questions about what to do next. I've been trying to figure out what to do after the restore, but more importantly, since I can't find any information about this, how likely is it that the dock itself is the culprit. If so, should I just return it... or...?
Thanks for any advice you may have.

If it is under warranty exchange it.

I home alarm clock dock damaging ipod

My daughter has gone through 3 ipods in 4 months now. She puts her ipod into the ihome dock to either listen to music or charge it. It works for about 3-4 weeks and then from one day to the next, she takes it out of ihome and the ipod completely stops working. What is going on?

I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and take the iPods and dock.
If you look at the dock connectors on the iPods do they look damaged? Like bend contact or broken plastic pieces?
Also, are you fully seating the iPods in the dock?

IPod only works in iHome docking station - nothing else (USB, power outlet, other docking stations)

This just started last week after I'd loaded some songs to my iPod from my laptop and it wouldn't play or display anything.
My iPod Classic only works when connected to iHome docking station and then it seems to work fine. It won't work when connected to another docking station, to laptop through USB or to power outlet. I restored while it was on iHome docking station but that didn't seem to correct anything. When I've tried to restore off the iHome, the screen flickers endlessly and nothing appears.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Long live the Classic! (Hopefully)

When I dock my ipod touch into my bose speakers, the 365Live radio APP doesn't work. Does anybody know why?

When I dock my ipod touch into my Bose speakers, the 365LiveRadio APP doesn't work. It buffers and doesn't connect.
Why ?

Audio through a dock connection is at line level, also called line out. Line level volume is not adjustable. You need to change the volume using the controls on the iHome device, or its remote.

Ihome 8 and Ipod Touch 1G issue, ipod turning itself on

Since having upgraded my Ipod Touch to the firmware 2.x my Ipod Touch is turned on at arbitrary times when docked in my Ihome IH8. Also when just playing music on the Ipod, the typical beep sound of switching on is produced by the Ipod when docked into the IH8. In both cases this is repeated until I take out my Ipod.
My Ihome8 has already been exchanged, but the problem persist.
I have no clue as to cause of this; the ihome or the ipod touch.

This is the only post on this subject, that I've seen posted here. I defiantly would suspect the IH8 as the culprit. You should contact the company that made the IH8 and see what there willing to do about it.
If it is a big enough issue for you, return the IH8 to the store and get a refund.

Why does sound only come out of 1 speaker when I dock my iPod?

My son's Ipod only plays sound out of I speaker. When I dock the ipod on his ihome radio or my sony radio, sound only comes out of the left speaker. When I put other ipods on the same docks i get sound out of both speakers. It is just this one ipod that won't produce sound out of both speakers, no matter what docking station I use.

Likely it is a hardware issue for the iPod, you need to bring it for service

Your itunes library should be on your computer and should be included in your regular backup copy of your computer.

Is it possible to dock an ipod nano 7?

Is it possible to dock an ipod nano 7?

It was disturbing to find out the new and expensive nano was incompatable with all older ipod connectors, and also that there was no direct solution -- no apple dock that has a lightning connector.
I bought a docking station ($60+) and a 30 to lightning converter ($30+), both from Apple. It all looks fine and pretty, and the ipod7 nano charges, but it doesn't play. There is a loud humming sound -- as if no connection from these standard apple parts. Obviously, the Apple 30 to lightning converter doesn't really work.
The design of the nano-7 is also awkward -- although one would like to plug in the audio cable to the nano, because the lightning connector and the audio jack are on the same side, but there is not enough room between the dock and the device to plug in the cable. I suppose I can spend another $30 on some version of a cable that has a right-hand connection.
A final problem is that when the nano-7 volume is turned up, it disorts when played through an ordinary stereo. Must be overloading the output or input.
All in all, engineering of the nano-7 could be more ergonomic and also better thought through. Not what one would expect from a very expensive device, in the 7th version, from Apple. Perhaps got pushed out before it was really done.

If I have my damaged iPod Touch gen 5 (no back camera) replaced under the repair program, will the replacement have a camera?

If I have my damaged iPod Touch 16gb gen 5 (no back camera) replaced under the repair program, will the replacement 16gb have a camera?

No. Replacements are always the same as what is being replaced. No back camera now means no back camera after replacement.

Docking my iPod Touch

I docked my iPod Touch and the screen where they ask you to pay $20 for the software upgrade comes up and I say remind me later. It loads into another screen talking about the new apps and I press ok and leads me to the iTunes store and when I press on the iPod Touch device window, it still has the app page. Is Apple forcing me to buy the apps or can I uninstall iTunes and the problem will be fixed or is there a way to get rid of it?

Apple's not trying to force you to buy anything. I've heard this is an issue they've acknowledged and are working to fix as we speak. Just wait a day or two.

My daughter dropped her ipod touch 4g into water. We bought a new one 3 days ago which she has dropped. The screen has smashed! Can we use the good screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one

Can anyone help please? My daughter dropped her ipon touch 4g into water which resulted in it being ruined. We bought her a new one three days ago and she has just dropped it and cracked the screen!!!
Cany anybody tell me, are we able to use the perfect screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one on the new ipod or, would the water damage have ruined the screen too?
Thanks in advance

Your very best option would be to take it to an apple store and exchange it for an alike model which can be a refurbished, or new unit. The repair/exchange price is about 99USD. http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING

HELP!!! (iHome not charging iPod)

Why isn't my new iHome charging my iPod 4th generation but still playing music through it?

Oh my friend has an iHome and i have the 4g ipod. I use it and the same problem happened with me but try moving your ipod around and once you find the perfect spot where it charges, try to put something to hold it there. With my friend, she put a rubberband on it to keep the ipod in place. Oh one more thing is that if you hvae a case on your ipod, you will need to take it off.
