Ipod Nano will charge but will not play on dock

Hi,
My ipod nano (1st Gen) will charge but will not play on my philips DS7550/05 Docking station.
When i phoned Apple support they told me maybe it was because my ipod was not compatable with the Docking station but to follow that up i checked the system requirements and my ipod is perfectly compatable with this docking station.
Other ipods do work on this Dock. I tried resetting my ipod but that did not work. My ipod works fine through headphones, syncs through my computer and charges fine when i plug it into the dock but simply will not play music!
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Not in particular.  The fact that the iPod does not play when connected to any other docks could mean either the 1G Nano does not have the ability to output sound via it's dock connector port or yours in particular has gone bad.

  • Ipod will charge, but is not found

    Hello, I have had my Ipod Mini since march of this year(2005) and it has been working great up until about a few months ago. My Ipod will charge but is not recognized on the computer, and I have tried it in every one of my USB 2.0 slots(10 of them).
    When it is recognized sometimes it will update the songs onto my Ipod and then it will just disappear from my computer, like its not connected, but it will still charge. What I want is for when I open "My Computer" it will show that a Ipod is connected and I can open if from there. If anyone has any suggestions, they would be welcomed. And yes, I have tried every one of the support things on the site and in my Ipod booklet.

    Ive restarted my computer many times and its still the same, it only works about 15% fo the time, and when it does rihgt when it finishes updating it will act like its not there anymore.

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • When I connect my ipod to 2 different Mac computers, it will charge but is not showing up in itunes for sync. What happened?

    When I connect my ipod to 2 different Mac computers, it will charge but is not showing up in itunes for sync. What happened?

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your Mac? Have you tried a different USB cable?
    What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the Mac?

    Has this iPod ever worked on this Mac or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?

  • After software update, I can see the songs on iPod nano in iTunes, but I cannot play/move the songs from iTunes.

    Is the "software update" for iTunes 12?  Or something you did to the iPod?

  • My ipod will charge but does not show in itunes or windows

    I tried to use my ipod as a disk to transfer my itunes library from my desktop to my notebook (both Dell), now my ipod charges, but does not show up in itunes or on either of my computers. I have used the advice of going to control panel and unchecking the box under power management but that didn't work, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE PLLLEEEEAAAASSSSSSSEEEEEEE HELP ME?
    I have windows xp on one and vista on the other, if that helps.

    This worked for me, don't know if it will for you. Have ITunes open. While IPod is connected to computer press(at the same time) the menu and center buttons until your screen goes black and shows the apple icon then immediately press the forward button. Your IPod should show up. It won't hurt to try it, even if it doesn't work. Hope this is of some help to you.

  • My iPod touch 4g will charge but is not recognized by computer

    I have done everything I know to do. My iPod touch 4g will charge from my computer but will not sync and is not recognized by the computer. I have tried it on 4 different computers and my brothers iPod touch 3G works and so does our iPad 2 but something is wrong my with just my touch 4g. Both of them have updated to the ios5 and I have not. I did the extremely stupid thing of resetting it and now it's just stuck an the original start up screen. So I can no longer even get into my touch. My 90 day has expired as well.
    Please someone help me. My brothers have spent hours looking for ways to fix it but can't find anything. Nothing is working at all.

    Did it work with previous ii.x version?
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Did you do everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Including
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    New cable and different USB port?

  • My Ipod Classic 160 GB will charge but is not recognized on my macbook or in itunes. Just began suddenly

    I purchased my Ipod Classic 160 GB about a year ago new and never had any issues until lately. I recently updated my itunes to the newest version and my Ipod seemed fine and didn't have any trouble. About a week later my Ipod was no longer recognized by Itunes or my Mac book. The catch is, that my Ipod is still able to charge but never shows any signs of connection besides the charging screen. I have no clue where to begin.
    Any help would be awesome! Thanks

    Have you updated your iPod and iTunes sofware?
    most cases, iTunes can play these high quality songs, which is meant for newer mobile devices like  iPhones, iPod Touch, nano and iPad, which the older iPod cant play, but only playable with iPod classic sofware version 2.0.4
    most likely it is an incompatible song format, read this Apple support article.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1334?viewlocale=en_USet
    If  your iPod software is version 1.1.2, then you have to use lower quality format.
    Can you select the problematic song, and Advance -> create iPod version

  • IPod Nano plugged in but is not recognized...help

    So i just recently bought a 4 gig i pod nano and put in the cd to download the updater software and all that garbage. I already had itunes 7 downloaded on my computer but the disk that came with the ipod nano had itunes 6 on it (for what reason i dont know) and thats where everything went downhill. Previously (before i purchased the nano) i had an ipod mini connected to my Itunes 7 and since i downloaded itunes 6 which came with my nano it wouldnt even let me open itunes. so i redownloaded itunes 7 and plugged in my nano and it didnt show up but when i plug in my mini that shows up. i dont know what to do...i think it has something to do with my music library but not sure...let me know

    try safe removal option. my computer says "generic volume is running" or something like that, and then it will be recognized by itunes. itunes 7 for some reason recognizes my nano faster than itunes 6. can't figure out why since the rest of itunes 7 stinks.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod nano (the new one) is not playing songs?

    I uploaded songs on it and put the ear phones in my ears and it still is not working. Plesase, how do I fix that?

    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.

  • Please help : new ipod nano : songs loaded but don't play=(

    I have managed to load songs onto the ipod.
