Hi All, Wanted to share!
As some of you may know, we had a pretty scary incident recently. Attached are pictures of what remains of our 2007 Suburban. We are all okay but I wanted to warn everyone not to make the same mistake I did. This fire resulted from leaving an iPhone charger/docking station plugged into the car outlet. It overheated and started a fire, while parked in our garage. PLEASE unplug anything you have in your car outlets once you turn off your car!
We were VERY fortunate that we found the fire, at 11pm, before going to bed and before it spread to the house. None of our garage heat detectors or house fire alarms went off (another item to take care of on my “to do” list). Feel free to pass this along to anyone you want. Better safe than sorry.

Any clock radio designed for an iPhone and a dock extender (http://www.amazon.com/CableJive-dockStubz-Converter-Through-Adapter/dp/B003TJR2H S/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1323723379&sr=8-8) or dock extension cable should meet your needs.
@Rudegar, I must compliment you on your choice of cases.

Allowing iphone 5 docking station to work with 30 pin accessories

I know there is a lightening cable that allows iphone 5 to use older accessories, but is there an adapter that'll allow my iPad 3 to work in my iphone 5 docking station?

IPhone + Case + Docking Station

Hello all-
I just read a post about someone using the iHome 2go Docking Station with their iPhone still in the case (believe the case was Revo). Does anyone know of any other docking stations that are compatable with the iPhone + its case? I'd like to have my iPhone sitting in its dock on my nightstand when I go to bed. However, I haven't been able to do this because the phone won't fit into the dock if the case is still on. Naturally, I would just take the case off, but this is tedious and tends to stretch the case out. Thanks.

I use the iHome iH6BR Clock Radio for iPod with my iPhone. It lets me charge the phone and play music through the radio's speakers while leaving the phone in its Case-Mate leather case. The iHome comes with a range of adapter inserts to fit most iPods, but I find the iPhone sits in the dock just fine without any of them. The only negative is the iPhone nags me that the iHome is "not a compatible device" when I first put it in the dock and offers to switch itself to airport mode (which I agree to). Other than that, it works just fine.

IPhone on dock stations....

I was thinking I would be able to use my iphone just as my ipod on my Kensington docking station, but I was wrong. It will charge it but it won't allow the music to come through. Is this something I am going to have to live with or can a possible update fix this issue?
Not a real big issue, I love the phone for the most part, but if it can be addressed it would be great.

It is that the Doc is not compatible with the iphone no software update can correct that. The issue is the hardware and not the software. Iphone still does work with a lot of doc out there, and then not with others.

Is there a cable to hook iPhone to docking station without taking off otterbox?

Is there a cable available to connect an iPhone in an otterbox to a docking station?

Use Do Not Disturb. You can set DND to only allow calls from people on your Favorites list, you would just need to add the work number to that list. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5463. Not sure if it has been updated for iOS 7, but should be relevant. You can also check the User Guide for other information. http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf

Yes, they will work. The two phones have the exact same design (outside of internals)

Charging Docking Station

Can anyone suggest a charging docking cradle for an iphone with a iFroqs Shell Case (without having to remove the case?

There are very few options out there for you. Here is one that specifically addresses the problem of docking while in a case.

Put iPhone in docking station and now it won't turn on

I put my iPhone into a docking station which I didn't know had had a drink spilt on it a year or 2 ago. I quickly took it back out but now it won't turn on at all. Even holding the home and lock buttons doesn't do anything. Please help

Has Apple made an iPhone 6 docking station?

I used to have a simple dock for my iPhone 4s. In the back were two ports one for the charger and the other for an aux (line out) cable. It was perfect for my speakers. I know the ones with the lightning ports for the 5 won't fit. So have they made one for the new iPhone 6?

Click on the "Store" link at the top left of the page. If Apple makes one, it would be there.

IPhone 4 docking stations

Does anyone know of an inexpensive dock that will allow me to play my iPhone 4 through my Bose system? I have a Cambridge Audio iD50 dock that worked perfectly with my iPhone 3 but is incompatible with the 4. The compatible Cambridge dock is $350 and I'd prefer something cheaper.

this one connected to a minijack or rca input in your amp would do the trick

Docking Station iPhone 3G

Hi,
I am new to these forums,
I have just recently upgraded to a iPhone 3G and realized that there is no docking station included with it. I noticed that I cannot use my older iPhone 2G docking station for this phone because of the body style differences.
Do I need to buy an adapter or just purchase a new docking station?

Hi Clinton,
There is a different dock for the iPhone 3G, its on the Apple online Store here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB484G/A?mco=NDY5OTYwNw
There are iPhone 3G dock adapters, but they will not allow the iPhone 3G to be used with the original iPhones dock.
Heres the link for the iPhone 3G dock adapter: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB546G/A?mco=NDY5OTE0Mw

My daughters iPod touch (4th gen and 4 months old) is not recognized by iTunes (PC) or our stereo docking station, but it will charge. Other devices (iPhone and another touch) work fine on PC and stereo. What is wrong??

We have an iPod touch 4th generation (4 months old) that is charging on our PC but is not recognized by iTunes. It is also charging on the docking station of our stereo but is not recognized by the stereo (will not play music). Other devices (2 other iPod touches and an iPhone) are recognized by both the PC and the stereo. What could be wrong with this particular iPod touch??

What are the model iPods and iPhone and iOSs that work?

All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
The following may result in in the inability to regain full use of the iPod if iTunes does not see the iPod
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch will only charge in docking station after 3.0 upgrade

Prior to my recent (this week) upgrade to 3.0, my ipod touch could charge off of my desktop computer, my laptop, and my Apple USB wall charger adapter. That adapter is not the current version, but the prior model. Since I've done the upgrade, the ipod touch no longer recognizes it's attached to the adapter (and the wall outlet) or to the USB cable and computer. I am using the Apple supplied USB cable, so it is not a matter of using non apple equipment or Firewire. This week, it will only charge using a lamp that has a docking station. I've had the ipod touch about 4 months, and didn't have this issue until the 3.0 upgrade. Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas on how to fix it?

If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
