IPhone 4 not working with Sony docking station

Hi guys,
My iPhone 4 is no longer working with my Sony SRS-GU10 docking station. It connects with the docking station and charges, but there is no sound.
I've tried to reset my iPhone, but that didn't work. I've turned off the bluetooth and that didn't help. I blew into the iPhone connector and the docking station and got it working for 10mins. It's just strange how it's just stopped working! Just wondering if it's knackered or can be fixed???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Jen

Any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station pls

any ideas why my ipod nano 6th gen is not working with Sony SRSGU10IP docking station please ? classic working fine, so not the fault of the station itself ? it's been bought as a present for my father & he's confused !

Check the headphone jack with a flashlight and clean it if necessary. The jack on a new Nano is very tight, be sure you push the headset jack all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.

IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio. It charges but won't play or control music. Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch. Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones.

Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
Do the phones have the same iOS?
Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
Does the iPod sync and charge OK?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Sometimes this works
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

IPhone and iPod with video docking station.

I just got an iPhone and was happy to see that it fit in my iPod with video docking station. But when I plug it in I get a message that says that this docking station was not meant to be used with the iPhone, and then it just syncs up and works fine with iTunes anyway.
So what's with the warning? Can the phone be damaged by the docking station? Should I be worried? And if there is nothing to worry about, why splash the warning?
Thanks, I look forward to your insight.

There are very few if any docks that are compatible with all functions of all ipods as well as the iphone 3G. Even Apple can scarcely manufacture one (although with a series of adaptors and optional cables they sell a "universal dock"). One of the biggest issues is the charging, as the 3G only charges via the 5 volt USB standard. I don't think there is a risk of damage, but an incoming call could generate some noise artifacts in your sound system. Have you been able to output video from your phone with that dock, and does it charge? BTW which dock are you using?

IPod 3rd gen not working with universal dock

My old iPod 3rd gen (15GB, touch wheel, dock connector) worked great with the old dock, until the latter started scratching noises when outputting audio to my stereo. Still charges the iPod though.
So, I tried old iPod with the universal dock I got for my Touch and found the following problems:
1. iPod is not being charged through new dock plugged to wall adapter
2. touch wheel menu control is not working as long as iPod sits in universal dock plugged to the wall adapter - the sound of clicks is all I get, but no control of menu or any other function. In order to select playlist or use any other function through touch wheel or any of 4 buttons I need to unplug power from the dock (it is not charging anyway)
3. remote is not working at all
Otherwise playback is OK.
Any ideas what may be the culprit here? Apple states that Universal dock is compatible with 3rd generation of iPod and up.

Hello Andrew,
What a coincidence as I too have had to find a new dock for my 3rd gen ipod. This week I purchased an Apple AV Connection kit - but found that it would not charge the ipod or respond to the remote. I also bought and tried a Belkin AC adapter with cable to power up the ipod but it too would not charge the ipod.
To see if these units were working I connected them to a friend's brand new ipod classic and both the Belkin and Apple AV Connection Kit worked fine - so there is something different about the 3rd gen ipod.
I'm not sure if this helps you - but at least you know it's not just your ipod that is not working with the new dock.

IPhone does not work with IPOD Dock to select next song / pause - play

After using the iPhone at the gym, the IPhone quit working using the remote for the Docking station to navigate to next song nor pause / play. Suspect Iphone connector....
Also the iMuffs Headset bluetooth adapter that plugged into the iphone connector quit working. Tested iMuffs bluetooth connector on another iPhone and is still functioning.
any ideas?? clean connector?? short?? service??
Note, the iPhone still syncs with iMac via docking port (USB). So the connector is not totally bad.

Does the dock manufacture say it is compatible with the 5G iPod with iOS 6.0.1?
Have you went to the manufacturer's support site? Contacted them?
Try resetting the dock. How you do that depends upon the dock

How can I get my iPod nano to work on SONY docking station?

I have a 5th gen iPod nano. I bought a SONY dock and for a couple days it worked fine. I put it on a few days later and no music. When I try to play, it goes to pause. The nano works on my clock radio dock and with my ear buds, but not on this docking station. I've reset the nano but no luck. any thoughts?

Iphone not working with car headunit

I have a JVC KW-NX7000 installed in my 2004 Subaru WRX wagon. I must say the head unit is amazing, i love it! I just recently bought a Iphone 3g. I read all the info about both the head unit and phone and then bought a JVC KS-U30 audio/video cable.
I can not get the head unit to see the phone. Just keeps telling me no USB device but will charge the iphone. Thought it might be the cable or head unit so tryed a friends ipod touch. That worked perfict. Tryed another friends iphone 3g also with no luck. I have the AV setting on the head unit set to Ipod, is there another setting i am missing-maby one on the phone? Any help would be much appriciated.

I have a simmilar problem, i have a JVC KD-R606 head unit and seem to have connection issues first thing in the morning or when it's a bit cold it just will not connect, also when i do get it to connect the audio switches over to the Stereo bluetooth connection from the dock connector after about 20 seconds and then have to manually go through the iphone to change the output source to the dock connector, it still works ok when a phone call comes in it switches to the bluetooth automatically and back to the dock connector again, it's getting a bit annoying when it's connecting for the first time and keeps switching speaker source.

Will T420 Laptop Work With T61 Docking Station?

I'm getting ready to replace about 50 T61 laptops with T420. Will my existing docking stations work, or do I need to buy all new docks as well?
Thanks

As said the T420 uses the latest generation of docking station (series 3 docking station), the T43 docking is one generation older than the T61 docking station.

Remote doesn't work with Universal Docking Station

Hi
I have an iPod nano 3rd gen. Whilst in the dock the remote doesn't work at all until I select some music manually using the nano controls. Then I get a response. This is the second docking station from Apple.
Surely it has been designed to work with the remote as soon as it has been docked to enable scrolling through the menus? There are archived discussions from years ago about the same problem and no solutions! It appears that this product is known to be defective by Apple yet they do nothing and when you call them they act as if the problem doesn't exist. They appear to be selling products that don't work and then do nothing about it.

i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

Hello,
I have an issue with my light sensor. It won´t reduce the bright in a dark room and also it won´t increase under the sun. I´ve installed an application called BlackBerry Virtual Expert in order to test the behaviour of the sensors but when i want to try them, i have the following messages:
Proximity sesnor not supported on this phone
Light sensor not supported on this phone.
I am running a 10.2 leak but i have the issue since 10.1.
Can you help me?
Thanks !
I would suggest that you downgrade to 10.1 and go back where you bought it and have it check, it does sounds like it is a hardware issue.
BTW VirtualExpert might not be able to access the sensor if you are using 10.2, since the program was made for the official OS which is 10.1

Nano ipod does not work in universal docking station but larger ipod does

My partner has a large ipod and I have a nano ipod. he can connect to the universal docking station and listent o music through the sound system but when I connect the nano ipod using the adaptor supplied with my nano ipod it does not recognise it even though it clicks in place as it is supposed to do. I also can not recognise my tracks on the ipod on the computer where the tracks had originally been transferred from, do you think the connector in my ipod has been damaged and is now not working?
I don't have any problems charging from the computer thopugh or listening to what is on it.
Can anyone help?

I have a similar but not quite the same issue. I have a toshiba tecra m3 laptop with windows xp pro. When I have the "enhanced usb driver" enabled under device configuration for my computer, my ports operate fine with usb 2.0 devices at full speed, but when I plug in my ipod it says that it is unrecognized.
If I disable the enhanced driver, then the ports dumb-down to usb 1.0, my ipod works fine with itunes but is a bit slow and other devices (like an external dvd burner) operate at slow speeds.
Also, whenever I plug in my ipod windows pops a box saying it would work faster if I plugged it into a usb 2.0 port. How helpful.
Anyone else experiencing this kind of thing?

IPhone not working with Windows 7. Message asks to install 64-bit version

Full error message; "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes".
I have just bought my wife a brand new iPhone 32Gb 3S for Christmas & now it's the most expensive paperweight I own. My wife has also just bought me a brand new 16Gb Nano, which also now comes up with error messages when connected, saying that it faild to load and I need to disconnect it & reconnect it. Naturally, this does not work either.
I'm running Windows 7 & the current 64 bit version of iTunes, but no matter what I do, the above error message comes up.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, very carefully following the exact process & order as detailed by apple, with no luck.
Everywhere I look, there seems to be references to a piece of software that should exist on my computer; "Apple Mobile Device Application Support", yet this is not to be found anywhere.
I have spent over 2 hours on the phone with the Apple techies, with no results whatsoever.
Can ANYONE assist me as I'm going completely bonkers & am about to storm into the Apple store and demand my money back?

The MSCONFIG workaround requires I-tunes and I-phone code to be installed on the machine. The problem is that I-tunes will not install on XP 64-bit machines. It will install on Vista but NOT XP. MSCONFIG requires the user to allow code that can't be on the machine until it's been installed! Apple staff have confirmed this to me over the phone after I spent half a day trying to figure it out.
There is an option, which I know some Apple staff are aware of, which has been set up by a Japanese kid and can be found here:

There are also a couple of 3rd party I-pod readers which, if I name them, will probably get me kicked off the list. Why the f*ck can't Apple sort this out. XP 64 bit has been around for FIVE YEARS!!!
