IPhone dock connector

I have a dock from a clickwheel iPod in which my fist gen iPod worked great but the 3g says device isn't supported. Same thing with my iPod connector in my car: 1st iPhone would charge and play but new phone won't charge but will play. Are pinouts different or what is the issue? Any thoughts?

most likely your accessories used the fire wire pinout for charging. Apple removed support for charging on those pins in the 3g. Chargers must charge using the USB standard to work on the 3G iPhone.

IPhone dock connector and Wi-Fi syncing not working

Who's ready for a tough one?
I have an iPhone 5 which will not connect to any charger or computer through USB. I have tried more than one lightning cable. The iPhone will also not connect to iTunes for Wi-Fi sync which isn't surprising to me because it almost never works on any of my family's devices. The iPhone is at 2% battery right now so iCloud backup isn't an option.
Any ideas for me?
I have had 3 iPhone 5 devices on which the dock connector has broken. It's probably just programmed to do that after 2 years so a new device has to be bought. This is so frustrating because I have tried on 2 of them to replace the part only to have some part of the new thing not work... How about we make a dock connector that isn't so fragile or we at least make some way to manually connect an iOS device to iTunes for Wi-Fi sync via IP address or something?

Just to make sure I'm picking up what you're putting down. When you plug the device into a charger and wall adapter, it does not charge. And when you plug it into the computer it does not appear in iTunes?

IPhone dock connector output during an app

I didn't see this in any of the examples...Can someone point me in the right direction for learning how to turn on the iPhone's video output when my app is running? I'm looking to plug my iPhone into a TV using Apple's AV composite cable & see the screen...it appears to only output when I'm playing video with the default video player.

I read someone else that the iPhones used in the WWDC 2008 keynote were modified to allow for video output while 3rd party apps are running. It sure would be nice if this was enabled in the OS...

IPhone dock 30-pin connector to line-out 3.5mm adapter/cable?

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a compact adaptor or cable to go from my iPhone 30-pin connector to a 3.5mm cable (or 3.5mm plug). Wondering if there are any recommendations, as some pre-date the iPhone and thus prompt the iPhone to switch to airport mode...
I've found:

Did deeper research. It's apparently true that phone call audio is not and cannot be routed to the "line out" of the iPhone. I'm disappointed. It appears to be a hardware design thing, as I've found no app that would enable this, and darned if I can think of a situation that would have this capability as a downside.

Does voice command work with a line-out (dock connector) plugged in?

Thinking of upgrading to 4th gen touch if I could use voice command in the car. I do not want to use the headphone/mic jack for sound quality reasons.

AFAIK, none of the pins on the iPhone dock connector support this, thus there is no way to do what you want. You're not the first to want to do this. All I can suggest is that you suggest such to Apple:

My iPhone 4S will be playing music and then it will stop and go into dock connector mode. What do I do to stop this?

Hi, my iPhone 4S will be playing music or nothing and it will randomly stop! I doesn't even show the volume bar. It goes right into
dock connector mode when it's not even on a dock. It only does this when I want to play music through the iPhone speaker. I
don't know what to do or how to fix this, It started doing this when I was on 5.0.1 and I read something saying it would help
to upgrade my phone, so I went to 5.1 and nothing was fixed, sometimes it does this and than it doesn't. For me to get it back to
normal I need to hold down the Siri button and select the way I want it to play when the device button comes up and it says
" iPhone " , " iPhone Speaker " and sometime it won't even say those. Will apple give me a new phone if I take it in? I never signed up
for Apple care. I just got this phone in February 2012. PLEASE HELP ME.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore. Has any of this been tried?
Unless and until is has been, Apple will not do anything, beyond the basic troubleshooting listed above.

Placing, and receiving calls through the iPhone's dock connector.

Can calls be placed and received through the iPhone's dock connector?
For example, assume you have a device, with two connectors, an iPhone dock, and a telephone jack. The device would allow you to connect a standard phone, cordless phone base station, fax machine, etc, and make calls using your iPhone cell service instead of you landline.

No, that can not be done.

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker

My 3GS keeps switching between iPhone speaker and Dock connector and I don't know how to keep it on iPhone speaker so I can listen to my music and games. Is it hardware or software problem?

I was told by a friend that sometimes when you use a 3rd party charger that the connectors are not the same size and so it can affect the sensors in the phone and make it seem like it is in a docking station and so changes the output for dock speakers. With that said, I didn't take my pohone in to be serviced at the appple store because it was a 3GS and over 2 years old and so not covered by any service plan. Since then my phone is back to normal and I can use my headphones and listen with the speakers on the phone. I stoped using the suspected cheap 3rd party charger and maybe that's what did it, but not sure if it was or wasn't the cause of my problem. I'm glad that my phone is better I was kinda holding out for the Iphone 5 when i comes out later and hope my phone lasted until then.

IPhone 4s dock connector functionality after iOS 7 upgrade

I recently decided to upgrade my Apple iPhone 4s 64gb CDMA model to iOS 7, prior to the upgrade I had no problems at all. The upgrade was successful but after the reboot the device was no longer being recognized by iTunes on my Macbook Pro. The phone would charge without a problem just not readable any longer by iTunes. Thinking something was wrong with iTunes on my Macbook I tried attaching it to my Mac Mini that previously worked but the same thing occured so I tried swapping cables but no change in status. So I figured let's reboot the device to see if that fixed it, but it would no longer respond to holding in the power button, so I did the trick with holding in the home and power button to force a reboot which worked. However when it restarted it just keep rebooting, meaning it would show the apple logo at startup then restart and kept repeating this process in a loop. It seems that the device is stuck in a recovery mode and each time I try to connect it to iTunes it will briefly recognize the device but will reboot which produces an error message.
I tried a few third party software solutions that are known to force the device out of the recovery mode but none of them seem to work on it. Not sure where to go from here, my thought was to replace the dock connector but just not sure that is the problem given it was working perfectly before the iOS 7 upgrade.
Looking for sugguestions?

IPhone 4S, dock connector broke, warranty not honored

I went to your Apple Store on 5656 Bay Street. Emeryville, CA 94608 because the outlet connector on my iPhone 4S broke -I have had the phone for less than a year (still in warranty). This is a plastic piece inside the base of the phone and I have just used it in the normal way, connecting and disconnecting the device when it needed to be charged. I had been sent by my phone's carrier, AT&T, to the Apple store to get the phone fixed or replaced under the warranty, yet Apple answered that it was a physical problem and I should have to pay $200 to purchase a new iPhone. They tried to tell me repeatedly that the phone had water damage and that it would therefore not be covered under warranty. My phone has never had any water damage to my knowledge, nor was there any problem with the phone's function. It is and has been a perfect phone. It is simply a piece of the phone that broke off due to normal necessary charging. After even speaking with a manager they told me that if I was not happy with the quality of the device I could buy from another brand. My husband was going to buy a new iPhone 5 but after this experience she is thinking to by a Samsung Gallaxy instead. I still have my contract with AT&T and I will have to pay $200 if I decide to break the contract with them. At AT &T, they told me that after 30 days of purchase the warranty of the phone is covered by Apple and they will not do anything for me too. This is extremely upsetting to me. The normal cost for a new iPhone 4S is around $700; their product broke and they are refusing to fix it for me. I would like this complaint to go on record.
In the last 10 years I have only buy Apple computers (two mac book pro's), other two mac books, mostly all the ipods since the first generation and I was very happy with the service and the quality of mostly all their products but in the last year this was the second issue I have with them. The first one with my Mac Book Pro overheating because a factory defect in the graphic card cost me $300, and now this one still in warranty it supposes to cost me $200. I don't think that Apple is having economy problems to just get honored their warranty. I understand if they don't fix the phone if it has a physical damage for bad use but conecting the phone to charge it?. I was felt so bad with their behaviour that the first I did when I got home was to put a complaint in the Federal Trade Commission (first time ever). I have always defend the quality of Apple products and service, but I think that is all gone.

The phone has never been around any water and anyway the iphone is in working conditions, the only problems is the dock connector ins partially problem, it can be charged but the data sync is not working well and I'm afraid it will broke more until it couldn't be charged. If there is any water damaged (I don't think so), the only explaination is humidity, anyway the iphone is working, I don't even why he told us that because that wasn't anything in relationship with the physical damage.
Thank you anyway for your answer.

Is the iPhone 3G's dock connector compatible with the 3GS?

A few days ago, my iPhone 3GS stopped charging. After some research I've determined this is due to a faulty dock connector. I'm out of warranty so I can't get a replacement from Apple, and I don't want to purchase a new phone since a new iPhone is rumored to be announced as early as next month. I've been using my brother's old iPhone 3G in the meantime, but now I'm wondering if I can just take the dock connector out of the 3G and put it into the 3GS. Does anyone know if this will work? If they aren't compatible, I noticed that Amazon sells some cheap third party dock connectors. Reviews suggest that people have had varying experiences with them. Does anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive third party connector?

yes it is same with iphone4 and 4s

Flat iphone 4 dock connector protection cap?

Hi there,
I'm looking for a protection cap for the dock connector/ear plug of my iPhone 4/4S.
I don't seem to find any that is not sticking out of the phone.
If anyone knows where to get a flat protection cap (preferably aluminum, so that it stays subtle), please notify me.
Thanks in advance

I tested on mine to see if it'd work and it does. However it seemed to fit in weird and the adjustable arm on top seemed to move awkward when removing it like it readjusted itself to a lower position. Overall it seems to work at not harm the phone which is good.
Since I don't have a case for it yet, I'm extra careful mounting it and removing it. To remove it, I found it easiest to actually raise the top mount instead of just lifting the front "lip".

Can I use my ipad dock connector for an iphone 4s

Yes, you can.

IPhone White 3Gs Crack neer dock connector. Seeking answers about possible outcomes.

Hey guys, I have a white 32gb iPhone 3gs. Now I have noticed a crack on the back coming up from the dock connector. The iPhone still has 3 months of warranty left and I'm wondering what I can do? As I will be heading to an apple store this Friday and I want to be prepared. Is there anyway I can upgrade to a 4 (I will pay money to be able to) or am I stuck with the 3gs. Also what happens with mine, because they dont produce 32gb 3Gs' anymore. Any replys are appreciated.
Thanks

If your phone is determined to be faulty, and covered by warranty, it will be replaced on the spot with an identical refurbished model. While the 32GB model is not sold new any more, there are stock available for warranty replacement. As to upgrading, you can do that at anytime. Whether you qualify for a subsidized price would be determined by your carrier. Backup your 3GS before you go to the Apple store.
