IPOD 80g Classic & docking station help!

Hi everyone, hope someone can help. Bought a friend slimline TEAC cdx60i for Christmas to use with her IPOD 80g. When she puts the IPOD into the dock, it freezes and won't play, she has had to reset everytime. Any suggestions before we return the unit to the store, its nice but won't work half the time & frustrating. I saw an earlier post from 2009 that said this was happening after updating Itunes to a newer version? thanks!

A bit more info........this is a CD/IPOD charging unit that attached to the tv to play music/videos from your IPOD (maybe that explanation is not necessary). It plays videos fine when choosing the function from the IPOD menu, but when trying to just play music it freezes on the docking station. My friend is worried about resetting it all the time and just plain doesn't want to deal with the hassle, maybe its not compatible with the classic model? Thanks again all.

Does leaving your iPod in a docking station damage the battery?

I've just purchased an LG docking station for my iPod Classic. While using it for the first time, I noticed that the iPod also charges up via the docking station, even when I've turned the docking station into standby mode.
I've read on several posts that the iPod batteries eventually start to deteriorate after several hundred charges. My question is, will leaving my iPod in the docking station (so it's therefore permanently on charge) eventually lead to my iPod battery being damaged/deteriorating?
Prior to this I've always charged my iPod via my PC when syncing to iTunes.
Cheers.

See question 7.

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 Classic - Docking Station

Don't know if I'm posting in the correct place but I own an 80gb ipod Classic and I wish to purchase a compatible docking station (reasonable price).
I'd like it to have fully working functions like: Alarm that wakes up with ipod music, maybe ID tag display, and even video output??
Is there a docking station on the market at the moment that does all this?
I purchased the iLuv i199BLK but have recently taken it back because the video output didn't work and also the alarm didn't work with my ipod, I was informed that it's because it's made for the 5th generation ipods.
I have purchased another docking station today the inMotion im600 Altec Lansing and the Alarm function doesn't appear to be working on this model either? Am I doing something wrong? or which Docking Station do I require?
Thanks

The IM600 video output does not work with the Ipod classic (6th generation). I have tried with my new 80 GB Ipod, and it does not work. Interestingly, the user manual I downloaded from the Altec Lansing website says the IM600 is "made for" the Ipod classic. The picture of the back view of the unit on their site that shows the yellow video output exists, but the manual makes no mention of it. I liked the IM600, but now I am quite dissatisfied and question the integrity of the company. I have read that the new classic now requires a $49 cable from Apple which has a chip in it allowing videos to be played. Unless AL would make something to plug into the video output that would work like the apple cable, the video out feature is useless for new Ipod owners.

IPod fails in docking stations

Having been a long time iPod user I am absolutely furious to find that my new iPod touch 32G doesn't charge on my BOSE docking station nor on iPod charger used for classic version. I never even dreamed to search this issue before buying. I am posted overseas and so cannot return my BOSE docking station for the BOSE solution to this problem - good on BOSE for at leats trying to keep their customers satisfied. I will never buy an apple item again. Why did apple do this to us? I tried to contact apple support but they were very unhelpful on this. Bad move apple. I will let everyone in my contact list about this and hopefully help them save their money before xmas.
Did anyone else find a solution apart from modifying their BOSE docks?

the reason it does this is because most likely when u got your BOSE system the ipod touch hadnt been invented yet and since its more advanced it takes more to charge it its just like how all phones dont have the same kind of charger

How do you play the radio with an iPod and the docking station model RDP-M5iP

I purchased an iPod docking station model RDP-M5iP and I cannot play the radio. It says to plug in the headphones for radio reception but that does nothing. Is there any way to use the radio portion of the iPod with this model?

Hello Roger,
Welcome to Sony Community.
This Personal Audio Docking System does not have built in radio and it seems you are playing radio from the connected iPod and wish to get the audio from Docking System Speakers. You may try checking the radio reception in the iPod. Also, you may try to playback music in the iPod and check if audio is output from the Docking System Speakers.

Colby

Thin white line at top of ipod 80G classic screen

Would like to know if there is a way to get rid of this line, which is located across the top of the screen, in the area where the battery icon is located. The screen was fine then I downloaded the latest version of software for the 80G Classic and synced it. Next thing I knew I had this white line across the top of the screen. Is there a way to get rid of the line, or do I have to send the unit in and have Apple repair it? Only had the unit since December 2007.

Oh - you are good!

Docking Station help

Can anyone suggets a docking station that will work with a T500 2081-CTO ?!?
Been looking high and low and cannot find a definite answer and what will fit.
Many thanks

lot of these ebay sellers can ship overseas. You won't find them new in most places, most of these would be from ex-corporate/business machines that were decommissioned.
Alternatively post a want to buy on the forum.thinkpads.com marketplace, there should be people whom may able to help you out.

I put my iPod on the dock station but the volume dose not play?

I put the volume on my iPod and when I put it on the docking station I hear no music I saw that the volume controller disapeared now I can't hear my music

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Go to the dock manufacturer's support site and se if they have any suggestion or if a firmware update is available for the dock
Sometimes this works:
Try:
- 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
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

IPOD PLACED INTO DOCKING STATION

i've got a ipod nano 7th generation, which i love but when i place it into the docking station no music comes out.I had to buy the lighting adaptor.

I heard of some problem with ipod nano lightning-to-30-pin adapter that it is not compatible to some docking station. Have you bought the adapter?

Ipod 80G classic Restore Loop

A few months ago i accidentally dropped my ipod onto its corner. after that it would freeze and not work properly. eventually it set itself to disk mode. i have no idea how or why. it just did. now when i connect it to itunes it says i need to restore. when i try to update and restore it will go through the first part of the process, but it seems to skip the second half of it. itunes then reads it and tells me that it has detected an ipod in recovery mode and needs to be restored before it is usable again. i tried one solution i found but it failed.
i reallly wanna know how to fix this if possible without sending it in, im desperate to fix it so anybody that can help please do!!

Hello!
Try this:
1. Open the Control Panel.
2. Double click on Administrative Tools. Note: If you don't see Administrative Tools, look at the left column in Control Panel for a link that says, "Switch to Classic View," and click it.
3. Double click on Computer Management.
4. In the left column, click on Disk Management.
5. Locate the iPod and right click on it, then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
6. Click the Change button.
7. Use the drop-down menu to select a new drive letter. Note: Make sure to choose a new drive letter that is not already assigned to a network drive. The drop-down menu will display all available letters that are not assigned to a physical drive. Drive letters that are assigned to a network volume will still be listed here. It is also a good idea to assign a drive letter other than a, b, c, or d, as these letters are usually reserved for other system drives.
8. Click OK.
9. Click Yes on the confirmation dialog.
10. Close the Computer Management window.
11. Restart your computer. Make sure you're iPod is not connected to your computer when you restart it. This may cause trouble in restarting your computer, as your computer may try to "boot" to the hard drive in your iPod.

Can't Sync ipod 80G Classic

I just burned several cds that I purchased new that, after importing, only show up in my iTunes in the Recently Added folder in Playlists. They do not, however, show up in Albums or Artists. As well, they do not sync to my iPod at all. Also, the playlist sidebars in iTunes and my iPod no longer match (apart from the recently burned cds that don't show up, other playlist folders that still show on my iPod no longer show on my computer--not sure how long that has been a problem). I have not tried importing cds into iTunes for awhile, but it was definitely before I installed the most recent update to iTunes (as of 11.13.13). I tried uninstalling the most recent update and installing a version from a couple updates ago to see if thast would help but I was unable to install an older version for some reason. Any ideas?

Pictures on Ipod 80G Classic - not all showing

I sync'd my ipod with my photos and only some are showing. I can see them in the split screen, but when drill in to see a picture or to have them randomly scroll I get a blank screen - Can anyone help?

Aye - tried all the steps and suggestions listed in the document but no luck.
Could this be an issue with the iPods battery?
Otherwise I might have to get the nearest apple shop to look at it but i'd like to try all other possible avenues first.
Many thanks,
Swift101.

My iPod 80g Classic is regonized by Windows, but says there is no disk.

When i go to My Computer, IPOD is in (E:). When i double click it, it says "please insert disk in drive (E:). I then go to Computer Management, Disk Management, and it says Disk (E:) is "unreadable." at this point, i have tried nearly everything. what should i do?

Hello! Welcome to the Apple Discussion Boards!
Here is a helpful article for problems between a PC and the iPod. I'm assuming you are working on a PC as you mentioned My Computer. It is possible that the hard drive has become physically damaged. If the steps in the following article do not work, call Apple or visit an Apple store or authorized service provider for further help.
