Ipod Touch 5 - Can you use same docking station as Ipod 4?

I am thinking of pre-ordering the new Ipod 5 touch for my son to replace his Ipod 4 touch.  But I am wondering if any of the accessories he already has he will stil be able to use including his docking station.  I know the 5 is larger so he will need new cases etc but I am hoping his docking station will still be okay?

The 5th Gen iPod touch has the new lightning connector, so in short, without an adapter it wont work with 30 pin dock connector cables and accessories.

    No. Siri requires an internet connection. It is done in the Cloud, not on the iPod.

  • Ipod Touch 4g not recognized by docking station anymore

    Hi there,
    Have got a problem which just arose a few days ago, my ipod touch isnt recognized by my docking station anymore for some reason?
    My docking station is a Sony RDH-GTK33iP Mini HiFi and the box it came out of says its compatible, its just all of a sudden my ipod doesnt get picked up by the dock so cant play music or charge. My Ipod was at the time I found out it wouldnt connect, was in "Headphone" mode (no idea how it got into that mode) but now I sussed that out & sound is coming out of the external speaker of the ipod again,
    When connecting to the dock, the dock just keeps flashing "CONNECT" and will just keep flashing that whilst the ipod is docked on it until I take it off and then it says "IPOD" which is what it normally says when the ipod is docked and recognized, and also gives a tone confirming theres a ipod docked which doesnt happen now with this ipod, I have yet to try a different Ipod.

    - Does the iPod work Ok with the internal speaker and when headphones are connected?
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the dock and go to the manufacturer's support site
    - 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.

  • My Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging

    my Ipod touch doesnot play music via docking station of microset, but is charging. We have already restored the settings of the Ipod but it doesnor help. Please your advice.

    Yes the manufacturer (Philips) says that the device (CD player with a docking station) should work with my IPod+iOS 6.2.1; we've updated the Ipod to iOS 6.2.1.
    We've bought the device this week, so I assume the firmware is up-to-date...
    My Ipod also does not work on another device with Apple-docking station, whereas other Ipods do connect with my new Philips device. I think it is pretty clear that my Ipod is the problem?
    I think we'd best go to an Applo store?

  • HT4205 cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    cant find airplay on my 2nd gen ipod touch can you help ?

    What are you trying to AirPlay to? The AirPlay icon only appears if you have an AirPlay receiver ready to accept the media from the iPod.
    Also, see the following. The 2G not hot have iOS 4.3 or higher.
    From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
    With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality.

  • I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • If you already have an iPod..Can you use an iPhone on the same computer?

  • I have just bought a 1st generation Ipod touch, can I use my Ipod shuffle accessories for this or do I need to buy ipod touch accessories?

    Can you use the same accessories from ipod shuffle to ipod touch?

    The headphones will work with the iPod Touch.  For charging and syncing yo will have to purchase a cable for the iPod Touch since one end of the cable has to have a 30-pin dock connector.  The Shuffle uses a different connecotr.

  • IPod Touch-can you deactivate Internet?

    Good morning all you experts!
    Quick question: Is there a way to somehow de-activate Internet access on an iPod Touch? My nephew wants one but my sil doesn't want him accessing wi-fi all over the place. Can you use the Touch without the Internet? Remove it? Lock it? Any and all answers will be greatly appreciated!!
    TIA

    There are parental control settings on the iPod touch.
    If you go into Settings > General > Restrictions you can turn off :-
    Songs with Explicit lyrics from being played (if they are bought from iTunes)
    Safari - no internet access
    YouTube - no YouTube access
    iTunes - Stop purchases
    Installing Apps - prevents the installation of applications

    Why is it not in itunes?
    It should always be in itunes and included in your regular backup of your computer.

  • 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

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why did my 4th generation iPod touch stop working with my docking station?

    I have an Altec docking station and my iPod suddenly stopped working on it.  The station comes on and makes a beeping noise like it is connected when I insert the iPod.  However, the music will only come out of the iPod.  The docking station will charge the battery on the iPod, so I assume it isn't broken. 

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.
