Ipod not working on Apple docking station

I can turn on the ipod when it is on the docking station but no sound comes out. I am getting a message on the docking station that says AUX. The ipod will say now playing, I've checked the volume but still no sound coming out of the docking station.
Also when I turn on the radio it will come on and play the station that is selected. But then it automatically goes to another station without me touching it.
Any thoughts?

if it is on AUX, then that means that the aux port is where the music should be coming from. look on the dock for a port labeled AUX. you may need to buy a cable to hook the ipod from the headphone jack to the AUX port.

  • 5th gen Ipod not playing in any docking station

    I have a 6th generation ipod classic that works great in my pioneer receiver and in both cars. I bought a 5th gen ipod on ebay for my wife and it seems to work just fine.
    I restored it using itunes, then put synced songs to it. Everything works fine when it's connected to Windows but it won't play in any docking station. It gets a charge from the station, but won't play.
    Does the 5th gen ipod not work in docking stations or is it possible mine isn't functioning right. I contacted the manufacturer of the station in one of the cars and they said all ipods should work.

    I have the same problem with a Pioneer X-HM50-K hifi system. My 5th gen ipod (system 1.3 which up-to-date iTunes claims is up-to-date, tried resetting/restoring/all that), when plugged into the docking bay, pauses the music and shows a tick mark after a while with the text "ok to disconnect" beneath it. The tick mark becomes a Pioneer logo after a while but that does not change the fact that the ipod does not react, neither to the command buttons on the Pioneer system (or on the remote control) nor to the buttons on the iPod itself (those do 'click', but have no effect). It does get charged, but doesn't play, just as in the top posting.
    A friend's iPod nano works just fine on the Pioneer, and my iPod works fine for everything else (headphones, iTunes, other docking systems I tried at friends', ...). So there seems to be a specific incompatibility with Pioneer systems.
    How can this problem be investigated and solved ?

    Hello,
    I have an issue with my light sensor. It won´t reduce the bright in a dark room and also it won´t increase under the sun. I´ve installed an application called BlackBerry Virtual Expert in order to test the behaviour of the sensors but when i want to try them, i have the following messages:
    Proximity sesnor not supported on this phone
    Light sensor not supported on this phone.
    I am running a 10.2 leak but i have the issue since 10.1.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks !
    I would suggest that you downgrade to 10.1 and go back where you bought it and have it check, it does sounds like it is a hardware issue.
    BTW VirtualExpert might not be able to access the sensor if you are using 10.2, since the program was made for the official OS which is 10.1

  • Nano ipod does not work in universal docking station but larger ipod does

    My partner has a large ipod and I have a nano ipod. he can connect to the universal docking station and listent o music through the sound system but when I connect the nano ipod using the adaptor supplied with my nano ipod it does not recognise it even though it clicks in place as it is supposed to do. I also can not recognise my tracks on the ipod on the computer where the tracks had originally been transferred from, do you think the connector in my ipod has been damaged and is now not working?
    I don't have any problems charging from the computer thopugh or listening to what is on it.
    Can anyone help?

    I have a similar but not quite the same issue. I have a toshiba tecra m3 laptop with windows xp pro. When I have the "enhanced usb driver" enabled under device configuration for my computer, my ports operate fine with usb 2.0 devices at full speed, but when I plug in my ipod it says that it is unrecognized.
    If I disable the enhanced driver, then the ports dumb-down to usb 1.0, my ipod works fine with itunes but is a bit slow and other devices (like an external dvd burner) operate at slow speeds.
    Also, whenever I plug in my ipod windows pops a box saying it would work faster if I plugged it into a usb 2.0 port. How helpful.
    Anyone else experiencing this kind of thing?

  • My ipod only works on my docking station. Any help would be great!

    I have a 4GB ipod I got in Dec. and I got a docking station in May and I use them all the time. Well I left my ipod plugged into the docking station for a couple days, and it works fine on it, but when I tried to connect my ipod to my computer,it just blinked with an apple and a line over and over again. I tried turning it on to listen with my headphones and I got absolutely nothing, it did not turn on at all. I have tried everything that apple.com provided and nothing has worked so far, so anybody that might know how to fix this, please help!
    Thanx

    Hi Blane756,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has steps for a different issue, a gray screen at startup, that I think would still be worth trying for your freezing issues:

  • Why does my ipod not play on my docking station?

    My ipod touch has just stoped playing on a docking station.  I have tried 4 different station and it will not work.
    It will charge but that is all. Someone please help!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • IPod only works in iHome docking station - nothing else (USB, power outlet, other docking stations)

    This just started last week after I'd loaded some songs to my iPod from my laptop and it wouldn't play or display anything.
    My iPod Classic only works when connected to iHome docking station and then it seems to work fine. It won't work when connected to another docking station, to laptop through USB or to power outlet. I restored while it was on iHome docking station but that didn't seem to correct anything. When I've tried to restore off the iHome, the screen flickers endlessly and nothing appears.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Long live the Classic! (Hopefully)

  • IPhone 4 not working with Sony docking station

    Hi guys,
    My iPhone 4 is no longer working with my Sony SRS-GU10 docking station. It connects with the docking station and charges, but there is no sound.
    I've tried to reset my iPhone, but that didn't work. I've turned off the bluetooth and that didn't help. I blew into the iPhone connector and the docking station and got it working for 10mins. It's just strange how it's just stopped working! Just wondering if it's knackered or can be fixed???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jen

  • Itunes on my 4s not working properly with docking stations

    Just in the last week itunes on my 4s won't work properly with my docking stations. I have one at home that is my alarm clock and while my phone will charge when my alarm goes off it will not play music, it just beeps which is what it does when the alarm goes off and the phone is not on it. If I press play on my the Itunes app itself it will play music. I have a station at work that I use daily as well, and same thing there, if I press the play button the station it won't work, but if press the play button on the app it will play. I believe it is an Itunes app issue because it will work as it is supposed to with the pandora appg. Anyone else having this type of issue? Any suggestions or tips are welcome.

    Get a magnifying glass and closely inspect your dock connector and clean any dirt, debris, dust bunnies, corrosion or anything else you find.

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

  • APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

    APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
    I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
    Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
    Anyone else have this problem?

    My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
    Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

  • IPod suddenly not charging in Apple dock

    I have an 8G iPod Touch with a Apple dock purchased at the same time I bought the iPod. I have updated my iTunes regularly. After the last update my dock now won't charge my iPod. It syncs fine but gives me the warning message that charging is not supported on this device. It charged and synced fine for over a year. Can anyone tell me what happened and how to fix it? Thanks for the support in advance.
    Karel

    Case solved. Figured out the dock must be plugged directly into the USB port on the Mac instead of the USB hub that I sometimes use.

  • Does the new ipod nano fit into the apple docking station the same as the former ipod nano?

    I have an apple docking station and I know that the ipod nano is thinner but other than eprhaps being a little wobbly does it fit into the same socket as the original ipod nano?
    Thanks

    You need the lightning-to-30-pin adapter. Get it from an apple store.

  • My home button is not working but apple will not honor the limited warranty

    My home button on my ipod touch is not working but Apple will not honor the limited warranty because the corner glass is craked.  I have been using it cracked for months.  What is my legal recourse.  I think it is unfair!!!!!!
