IPhone 3G & iPod Universal Dock (Model AA1153)

Hello all,
I am unable to find any information that states whether or not the iPhone 3G is compatible with iPod Universal Dock (Model # AA1153). I know they have a new(er) version out that has a different Infrared lens on the front, but mine is about a year old and has a round lens.
I'm hesitant to plug it in since it is unknown whether or not the dock is compatible or not. Any assistance is greatly appreciated
PS: Also, can you charge the iPhone 3G w/ firewire? I have a few spare iPod firewire power bricks and dock cables..

Thanks!
This is the dock adapter I was going to buy...

Here's why I ask... When I popped my iPhone on the dock, it said that was not compatible with this accessory..

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 :

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.

Ipod Nano Compatibility with Ipod Universal Dock and Remote

I have an 8GB Black 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I want to connect it to my stereo. I was told that the Apple Ipod Universal Dock would be a good solution.
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C0 4E07A&nplm=MA045G/C
The website says that it is compatible with my nano, so no big deal right? I just wanted to make sure it would work fine with my iPod nano before I went and bought one. Does it come with the AV cable to connect the dock to my stereo / tv? DOes the dock have a graphical menu interface like some of the third party docks/remotes have?
Also, will the Apple Ipod Remote work with the universal dock?
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=BB5 E48CD&nplm=MA128G/A
The apple store website says that everything will be compatible, but I wanted confirmation from someone who has actually owned this or knows about this.
Can you offer any better docks/remotes ideas?

I was looking at the review CNET had for that Kensington dock.
http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-player-accessories/kensington-entertainment-dock-500 /4505-6519_7-31631868.html?tag=uolst
I had a question about part of the review though, I am not sure I am understanding it correctly.
"We were impressed by the remote's ability to take control of our iPod; most of the third-party iPod-dock remotes we've seen only pause the music or video, skip tracks, and adjust the volume, not browse the menus. That said, the Entertainment Dock still isn't perfect. When you navigate the menus, your TV screen will be blank, so you must rely on the iPod's screen for your visual cues. Our other gripe is that the remote seems cheaply designed: The buttons on our review model looked misaligned (if usable), while the battery cover was annoyingly difficult to pry open. We got about 30 feet of range from the remote, which is more than adequate for most living rooms."
So this means that even though the remote can navigate the menus on the iPod, you wont be able to see what you are doing unless you go to the screen of your iPod?

IPhone 3G with Universal Dock

Just bought a iPod Universal Dock, and pulg my iPhone 3G into it, it says "This accessory is not made to wrk with iPhone" and ask me to turn on the airplane mode.
I thought the Universal Dock is universal for all iPod and iPhone, why does it give me a such error message?

I had that with a universal ipod dock but it worked fine. The only thing is that no sound came from the iphone when docked.

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?

Apple iPod Universal Dock And Remote

So If I have the Apple iPod Universal Dock and the Apple Remote And a iPod nano do I have front row?

So in case anyone at Apple is paying attention:
1) Offer a package of the Apple Remote, a USB receiver for it, and Front Row together as a bundle for existing Mac users. It is a perfect fit for the Mac mini sitting in my stereo cabinet connected to my TV.
2) Assuming that Photobooth only works with an iSight camera, then why not offer it as a free download for all customers who already have iSights? Presumably it wouldn't do anyone without an iSight any good - right? It should then be packaged with all iSights as a standard part of the package.
If you can't do (1), then at least issue an update to Tiger (10.4.3 for example) that includes Front Row built in with the ability to drive it from a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse? Then offer the Apple Remote with a USB receiver later...
It's so obvious I can't believe it wasn't done today...

S-Video + iPod Universal Dock supposed to work, doesn't

According to this Knowledgebase article, I'm supposed to be able to get video out of my iPod Classic using an iPod Universal Dock and an S-Video cable. (Scroll to the end of the article.) Doesn't work. When I try to play video, the iPod just puts up the "connect a video accessory" nag screen.
The KB article is quite specific about this configuration. Is the article incorrect, or is there some way to make this work that I'm missing?

I'm having the same problem.

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

Should i buy he ipod universal dock

should i buy he ipod universal dock, can anyone help me to decide. thanks

Sorry Liam - yes, universal dock is fine, as you get the converter insert with the ipod.
Interestingly, the guy in the shop I went to first (and various people at the mac expo I just went to) said that the 5g dock wasn't available yet. This, naturally, is rubbish - the universal dock fits it just fine.
Sorry - was on my soapbox about the rubbish remote again...

Universal Dock Model Number

I have just purchased an Apple Universal Dock (with remote), to be used to connect my Nano (and soon iPhone 3G) to a pair of Audioengine A5 active speakers.
The dock I've purchased has a model number MB125G/A.
Browsing the net, I've found the Universal Dock with model number MB125G/B.
Any body know the difference between the A and the B model?
I've tried phoning Apple tech. support but they couldn't answer the question.
I just want to make sure that I've not just purchased an out-of-date model.

It seems, percentage of the battery level is always not correct (may change suddenly ± ~30 %). I suppose, I already did this procedure that you mentioned a few times not specially and it was no change. It is strange that even changing the battery did not solve incorrect level indication. Notwithstanding this is not so important problem, I can live with this. Fast drain of the battery is the biggest problem, which is not acceptable at all.
Well, O'Neill Control Freak iPod Wireless Remote Control:
https://www.kingofwatersports.com/item.do?item=16459&path=oneill-control-freak-w ireless-control-set-i16459.html
also discharges iPod, but slower.
I will try examining the connector carefully with powerful magnifier.
Thank you very much for your ideas, LexSchellings.

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.

Ipod universal dock and remote doesnt work!!!!!

I'm fairly new to the whole apple and ipod thing, i bought an ipod nano last week and bought a universal dock with remote today (proper apple one), but the menu button on the remote doesnt work(it does on the ipod itself but thats not the point) so i cant go 'back' from an album i'm playing to find another one i want to play. the volume works fine as does the track back and forth and play pause. But my menu button on the remote doesnt work, this is incredibly frustrating!!!!!
Can anyone help?
one more thing it's not a fault with the remote as my brother has a mac mini with a remote which works fine with his, but the menu button again isnt recognised on my dock!

If you read the manual, you'll see that the menu button is for other devices, but not our Nano's. Apple doesn't make this clear on it's website, IMO. Had I known this, I would not have bought a u-dock. Plus, when my Nano is docked, I can't use the lower 1/3 of the wheel, as the Nano sits too low for my fingers to reach. It's going back to the store next week.

Playing video on tv using ipod universal dock with s-video

i am not able to play with my 180gb ipodclassic video on my tv using s-video on universal dock. the message "TV Out Enabled" please connect Video Accessory". This should work because apple support tells us so see the last picture; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=nl_NL
who can help me because i refuse to pay 49 euro's($75) for a cable when this should work?

Did you look at that kbase article?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=nl_NL
According to Apple, the iPod Classic IS supposed to work with the Universal Dock w/S-video outpupt.
It's not working for me, either. 160GB Classic.

Original iPhone, latest firmware, universal dock, composite AV cable ...

and a plasma tv...
I am trying to watch some ITunes U movies on my plasma set while working out. So i buy a universal dock, the composite AV cable for the iPhone, hook it all up and try to watch an episode. What happens is that the video on the iPhone becomes frozen with the title, and i get sound but no video on the Plasma. The Plasma (having S-Video and Video in connectors) displays S-Video as the input source...
So, a basic, stupid question. If i have, let's say an HD video on the iPhone, and try to play this over TV Out, is that supposed to work over a composite cable? Or do i need to convert those videos to 576i first? Meaning, does the iphone do any kind of conversion on the fly for the signal, or not?
If it does, what else could be the problem here?
Frank

Frank,
I am able to play videos from my iPhone using composite cables. I have a Panasonic plasma TV and when I first tried to play a video I found It would not play using my normal "cable" setting. I had to use the remote control that came with my TV and select another "cable" setting, after which it played perfectly (sound and picture). Finally,make sure that the input jacks are pushed in all the way.
