IPhone 6 no longer "compatible" with Bose III SoundDock

I have had a Bose Soundock III (see link below) for the past year and a half and it has worked perfectly with my iPhone 5 and more recently iPhone 6. Over the past few months I keep getting messages saying "this accessory is not compatible". Sometimes the message comes on after a few minutes and sometimes after a few hours. I primarily use the dock in conjunction with My Alarm app to wake me in the morning. The charging function works, but it won't play music through the speaker. I am using the most current version of iOS 8.1.2. Is there a fix for this? Seems like BS that Apple would have disabled the use of this product seeing that it was specifically designed for lightning bolt connected apple devices and sold at Apple retail stores? Thanks

It uses a different connector and I think to continue using it with an iPhone 6, then you'll have to buy a new connector or an adaptor.
I have a Bose portable that connects via Bluetooth and there is no problem connecting the iPhone 6 to it - smaller and more compact than the SoundDock, but still good quality sound and even more portable.
Purchase an adaptor or a new connector or consider purchasing another kind of dock that has the ability to connect via bluetooth.

  • IPhone no longer compatible with iPhone dock after 2.1

    I have an iPhone dock attached to my PC for power, with an audio out to a stereo system. Before the update I would pop it in the dock and use the remote to control music. Neat. After the 2.1 update, when I put the iPhone in the dock I get the alert saying that the iPhone is not compatible with the equipment and asking if I want to switch it to airplane mode as a consequence. The remote only controls volume now, not play/pause, skip or menu. So, of what benefit is it for the iPhone now not to be compatible with the iPhone dock? Or am I the only one experiencing this problem?

    Which iPhone dock are you referring to?
    If you mean the iPhone dock that came with the original iPhone then it is not made for the iPhone 3G as the phone does not fit. There is no other iPhone dock other than the dock that Apple are now selling here :-

    This dock does provide the functions to which you refer.

  • IPhone no longer compatible with Sony ICF-C1iP Dock/Speakers

    I'm a litte annoyed today. I purchased the Sony ICF-C1iP so I could use it with my first generation iPhone without the static I was getting with the iHome. However, after updating to the newest update yesterday, (August 5), the Sony ICF-C1iP no longer works - well, it still works, but it is now just a clock radio. I can't get music to play through the speakers at all. I called the Apple store and after checking into it, I was told that the problem is with the new update and not the unit, and it is an issue that cannot be helped. Another "however"...the Sony ICF-C1iP is still on display in the Apple store as being compatible with the iPhone. Anyone else encountered this problem and if so, any solutions?

    I just bought the Sony ICF-C1iP for my 1st gen iPhone yesterday to use at work. I iPhone is updated with 2.0 and after having read some of the most recent posts on the discussion boards, I think I'll wait on the most recent update. I can use the iPhone with the clock radio, but it doesn't recharge the battery, as matter of fact it drains the battery. I contacted Sony today and they said it was the ICF-C1iP.

  • After installing the latest iOS update, my iPhone 4S is no longer compatible with Bose Sound Dock...any suggestions?

  • IPhone no longer compatible with car audio

    Since upgrading to iOS8 my phone defaults to "repeat all" whenever an external audio device is plugged in such as the car. Previously it started playing as soon as plugged in. Now in freezes until I unselect "repeat all". iPhone  5 &  BMW iDrive.

    Maybe we need to wait Apple for 8.0.1 or something like that.

  • My iPhone 4S is no longer compatible with my Sony ICF-DS15iP dock since updating to iOS7.1.1

  • Why is my iPhone 4S no longer compatible with my Sony ICF-DS15iP dock since updating to iOS6.1?

    Since updating to iOS 6.1 my iPhone 4S (16GB) is no longer compatible with the Sony audio dock. Obviously the FM radio still works fine, and when docked the phone still charges, but now when you play music the audio only comes out of the phone's integral speaker and not routed to the amplifed speaker in the dock.
    Any ideas how this can be corrected, without rolling back to iOS 6.0 that is??

    Hi Duke,
    Did you get this to work. I have same issue.
    Thanks

  • Is my iphone 4 compatible with bose connect kit

    Is my iphone 4 compatible with bose wave connect kit?

    Hi there,
    Yes but only if you have a bluetooth compatible Wave system and also only if you also have the bluetooth adapter to go with the bluetooth compatible Wave system. If you have these two parts, you can simply ensure that the bluetooth device is on and discoverable using your wave remote control (press and hold preset button 5 or 6 for 10 seconds or till you see discoverable written on the LCD screen of the bose wave system). You should hear a beep.
    You can now go into your iphone 4 and under bluetooth (under iphone settings), turn it on and you should be able to connect with the bose adapter which should now be on the list of nearby devices under bluetooth. Hope that helps or solves your problem.

  • HT5988 I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version?  How do I make that unit compatible?  olefromca

    I downloaded Mavericks and now my WD Smartware that I use for Time Machine is no longer compatible with this OSX version?  How do I make that unit compatible?  olefromca

    I agree entirely, been messing with this since the upgrade to Mavericks but I didn't find it quite as easy as uninstalling the WD smartware as it still operates when you plug the drive back in - I think it gets loaded onto the drive and runs from within (?). The advice from WD was that time machine was faulty and I should contact Apple...thanks guys!
    Anyway, for the OP's benefit, this is what I found:
    1. My problem was that time machine couldn't see any further back than before the Mavericks install, but if I opened up and interrogated the WD drive, the old backups were still there.
    2. When TM started doing new backups, it overwrote the ones that it could see, not the oldest ones on the drive. This indicated to
    me that the WD software had somehow partitioned off the old backups and excluded that part of the drive from being overwritten. Of course, as the drive was practically full, it meant that any new backups wouldn't fit in the available space.....
    3. The only way I could find to resolve this was to use the disc utility to erase and repartition the external drive. This will obviously remove all of the old files and backups, but I was more concerned about keeping a current profile as backup rather than a load of stuff from months ago.
    4. Anyway, what happens after the eraseure has completed is that you get the WD icon on the desktop, and you're invited to install the software - this means the software has now been deleted. Juts don't reinstall it, just let TM do it's backup and all is well.
    Usual disclaimers and warnings about keeping another copy of your system etc. obviously apply, and I know this is a radical move to delete all your old data but it worked for me. I guess I didn't appreciate that you could use the external drive without the software that came with it and just followed the screen guide.
    I'm also aware that if you don't want to use TM to do a complete restore and only want to find one old version of a document, this is difficult. However, you can then install the WD software and find the file but you'll then have to do this all again.....

  • After replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?

    after replacement of my hard drive iPhoto is no longer compatible with my lion software - why ?
    any suggestions on how to fix this ?

    what version of iPhoto are you using? i can't begin to answer that - it is no longer listed in my applications & has only a shadow of its icon in the dock
    what version did you have before the drive replacement? same answer
    what system version are you running? 10.8.5 - the one i was using when the hard drive died
    what exactly do you see when iPhoto attempts to launch? -it doesn't attempt to launch - i get a message saying "You can’t use this version of the application “iPhoto” with this version of OS X. You have  OS X 10.8.5. The application requires OS X 10.9 or later".
    what have you tried? wringing my hands ! i daren't try anything after the hard drive crash
    where is your library located? there is an iPhoto library folder on my desktop with random photos & albums - not all - put there by me - i vaguely remember a problem with iPhoto when i upgraded from snow leopard
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring? after the drive replacement i uploaded saved data from a week old back up and found iphoto looking somewhat sick - no updates were offered in software updates
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? i'm afraid i do not know what that means
    what type of Mac? a macbook pro
    how much free space on your boot drive? about 380 GB
    thank you very much for your questions - i hope i find some answers
