IPod Touch and iHome Alarm Clock

We were just given an iHome (iH4B) alarm clock for iPod. The specs state that it is compatible with the 2g 16gb Touch that we have. However when it is time for the alarm, the music stops after about 30 seconds and is replaced with alarm beeps.
I think there is something wrong with the iHome but am wondering if there is some trick about the Touch that I don't know about.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

If it works with Bose but not with iHome, you should contact iHome.

  • IPod Classic and iHome, alarm feature is not available!

    yeah, the most important feature to the ihome (even the latest version, iH8) is not available with the new ipods. i know mine works because i used to have the 30gb video.
    here are my troubleshooting specs:
    scenario 1:
    -set the alarm for a minute later than current time.
    -set 'alarm 1' which is the ipod alarm. it is supposed to wake up the ipod and play music (whatever was on pause before shut down, or plays the first song).
    -when alarms wakes, it merely wakes up the ipod, but does not play music.
    -it does seem to try to play the music, since the backlight comes on. it also says 'now playing' at the top status bar. it stays in the menu, has the name of the song and album artwork on the right (new menu style), but still does not play the music. luckily, ihome has a back up alarm for when it doesn't sense music and just beeps.
    scenario 2:
    -set alarm, and just paused it rather than powering down the ipod.
    -it works! but remember the ipod shuts down automatically after a couple mins.
    -scenario 3:
    -set alarm on ihome AND ipod.
    -hard to sync becaues times on ihome and ipod are off. if ihome doesn't sense the ipod's alarm in a couple seconds, it beeps.
    solution anyone?
    already did feedback to ipod. ihome is sold in apple stores, so both companies need to do some fixing. they need to let their associates know about this, very misleading.
    help me out if you can.

    I'm in the same boat as well. I have an IH5 and have experienced the same problems. Hopefully a firmware update from Apple will resolve this but my gut is telling me that we will need to purchase a new iHome model.

  • I have an iPod touch and also have the iHome.... When I first hooked it up it played music fine.....but now when I hook it up it says accessory unavailable for iPod touch and I've resetted it 2 times but still no music comes thru the iHome speakers

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
    If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • I just bought a 5g iPod touch and was wondering if there were any ihomes out or coming out soon that are compatible with this device? I know about the lightning adapters but read about their bad reviews and would like to avoid buying one for my ihome

    I just bought a 5g iPod touch and was wondering if there were any ihomes out or coming out soon that are compatible with this device. I know there are adapters and cables you can purchase to use with your existing ihome but read the poor reviews on them and was scared away. I use my ihome very regularly and need this accessory to work with my new iPod. If you have any information on this, please help!

    iHome already makes docks that support the Lightning connector:

  • New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:

    New ipod touch and Harman Kardon boom box:
    I must say I am very disappointed that I cannot charge my ipod while playing music anymore.
    I had no problem with all other ipod generations. Can this somehow be fixed?
    While the Harmon Kardon boom box was posted on the apple web site as recommended. And Now???
    Has anyone information regarding this issue??

    I'm having a similar problem with my new touch 3rd gen, with a Sony clock/radio/docking model ICF-CL75iP.
    No sound coming out of the speakers, and no picture or video showing on the radio's LCD screen.
    Sony replied to me that it's intended to work with any ipod touch 1st and 2nd gen but not with 3rd generation. Whose fault it is? Wrong software from Sony or Apple?
    I guess I'll try to downgrade the firmware from 3.1.2 to the previous one. If not then I'm stuck

  • IPod touch 5th gen alarm didn't go off this morning, glitch?!

    Why didn't my iPod touch 5th gen alarm go off this morning??? Volume was up, alarm was on, but it didn't go off!! I missed going on a bike ride with my friend now so I'm annoyed, I'm on newest ios7 but anyone know how I can stop this glitch, or a solution?

    You can try the standard fixes but I have not heard of any real problem with alarms in this forum. I would also try testing the alarm a few times.
    - 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.
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • Incompatible message with iHome Alarm Clock

    I have an iHome alarm clock and after upgrading to the latest version of IOS the clock and my iPhone are no longer working together. I get the message that the phone does not support this accessory.  I have tried resetting my phone and deleting and redownloading the necessary apps. It is very frustrating. Can anyone out there shed light on a solution?

    I'd say the most likely answer is they did not follow Apple's design specifications for peripherals and now it's catching up with them.

  • IHome Alarm Clock

    Is the Ipod nano compatible with iHome alarm clock?

    According to their site, yes, but you need an adaptor.

  • Having songs on your iPod Touch as an alarm

    Sorry if this has already been asked, but is there an app or some way to have songs on your iPod Touch as an alarm? I looked at my iPod Touch and I haven't found anything that will let me do this, and I have yet to find an application that would do this in the App Store.
    Thanks.

    That would be nice. Please take a look at this thread:

  • I have an ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad can i use one account

    I have an Ipod touch and want to purchase an ipad.  Can the same account be used.  Can my purchases on my ipod touch be synced to my ipad?

    the only limits you'll face is if any of your iPod touch apps are for the iPhone only, they'll show up as tiny in the middle of the screen. There'll be a 2X button that'll allow you to zoom it up...some look better than others. All depends on how high resolution they are made.
    Other apps will be in the app store with a + by them, those are universal and scale to fit the screen they are displayed on. Other apps you'll need to buy the iPad version. And you'll find some apps that are iPad only.

  • I downloaded iTunes 11.4 so I could set up an iPod Touch, and now it won't open at all. Can someone please tell me how to fix it?

    As mentioned - I was trying to set up an iPod Touch, and it kept telling me "open iTunes," so it dawned on me that I probably needed to update it. So I updated it, and now it just doesn't open (it bounces once, and that's it).
    For added info:
    I have a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
    Technically I keep all my music on an external hard drive, but I don't think anything is corrupted (because it was working fine just before I updated it).
    Thank you.

    Hi, JEvansIII.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try resetting your System Management Controller or SMC then launch iTunes after processing these steps.  If the issue persists, try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes by accessing the second link below.

  • I have a Ipod touch and recently added new music to my itunes library on my laptop. When I sync with my ipod, the new music does not show up on my ipod even though the sync process seems to be working.

    I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!

    What happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs?
