2nd generation iPod touch not working with docking station. Any solutions?

I've recently purchased a Philips micro music system (DCB2020) and whenever I put the iPod on the dock, it makes the connection sound but won't play music when I select the dock function. I've tried an iPod nano and that works so I don't think it's a problem with the docking station. My iPod touch is 2nd generation and has 4.2.1 software update. Does anyone have any idea how I could make the iPod compatible with the docking station?

IPod will not work with docking stations

My 5th gen iPod works fine except it will not work with docking stations. I can sync it with my computer and it plays fine, just won't work with docking stations and other accessories like the Belkin FM radio converter. I bought a iMode boom box and it does not work properly with my iPod.
Any ideas??

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

New IPod touch not working on Play station / Speaker

I'm having trouble with getting connection from my new ipod (slim) and my docking stations. My old one connects fine but new slim does not...any suggestions?

That is the exact same problem i am having. Exactly on the spot. There is a major bug in this new version and others are having similar problems. I tried going back to the 7.6 version but that didn't work as my library data file was already written with 7.7 The only thing i can think of is wait till another version, as of right now i haven't been lucky in finding a solution. I am still working on it, though and will let ya know if i can solve it. So far i've tried all the solutions that helped in the past, and nothing
it does work with my other ipod so, it seems that iphones and ipod touch are the ones effected at this point. Some people have said that it deleted their library, but that hasn't happened to me so i have no idea whats going on.

IPOD TOUCH NOT WORKING WITH ITUNES

I am using:
iPod Touch 16GB 1.1.4 (With $25 Software Upgrade)
Windows Vista Premium Edition
iTunes 7.6.2
Whenever I connect my iPod, the device connect sound is made and it shows up in the my computer window, but it will not show up or sync with iTunes.
I HAVE ALREADY TRIED THE FOLLOWING:
Reseting the computer
Reseting the iPod
Using a different USB port
Using a different cable
Erasing ALL of the iPod's contents (Yes I lost my $25 update as well)
Restarting the "APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT" in the "systems" application
...As well as many other things, all with absolutely NO results.
I have tried to manage my ipod through other programs, nothing seems to work. I connected the iPod to a different computer and everything worked fine.
I ASSUME the problem has something to do with the iPod Touch's drivers; for whatever reason they might be corrupted or installed incorrectly, thus preventing the iPod from automatically reinstalling them as well as preventing the possibility of syncing.
My question is, how can I reinstall the drivers without having the iPod touch do it automatically?
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

I fixed the problem myself.
If anyone else has this same problem and is looking to fix it, here is what I did.
I found this on another site:
"Okay well I spent about an hour on the phone with Apple trying to fix this problem. The guy I talked to seemed to have delt with this problem before. He tould me that Apple was getting numerous calls about the iPod touch not connecting with iTunes. So here is the solution that worked for me.
The first thing you must do it uninstall iTunes and Quicktime using the controll pannel, add/remove hardware, on your windows computer. Once you have uninstalled both of thoes programes go ahead and look for anything else that is Apple and uninstall them as well. There should be an Apple updater or driver that is very critical to uninstall, this was the cause of iTunes not recognizing the new iPod Touch. Next make shure you have the very latest update for Windows on your computer, you can check this on Microsofts web page. Finnaly once you are shure you have UNINSTALLED EVERYTHING that says Apple, iTunes, or Quick time restart your computer and MAKE SHURE THAT YOUR IPOD IS NOT CONNECTED TO YOUR COMPUTER. Then download the newest version of iTunes and install it. Once the installation is complete go ahead and connect the iPod Touch and everything should work.
I am not shure if this will work for everyone but in my situation it worked. I hope it helps some of you out there!!"
That worked like a ******* charm. Hope this helps.

TS1286 MY MUSIC WILL PLAY THROUGH THE IPOD BUT NOT THROUGH ANY DOCKING STATION SPEAKERS. IT USED TO, BUT JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED.

My music will play through my ipod speakers, but it won't work through docking station speakers. It used to but then just suddenly stopped. Can anyone help??

I just had this problem tonight and here is what worked: Go to Settings; General; Software Update; and update to the new iOS: 6.0.1. It worked for me, hope it works for you!

IPod Touch not working with Verizon fivespot modem

I cannot get my iPod Touch to work with my Verizon Fivespot hotspot. The hot spot shows up in the WAN settings, but when I try to reach the internet it says it is not available. The Touch works fine with my home hotspot. Any ideas?

Do other devices work with it? What says "not available"? Is it Safari when you try to connect to a website? If you go into the network settings what IP address is assigned to the iPod? Do wifif arc show on the upper left? Have you looked at the documentation for the Verizon product?

IPod Touch not working with speaker dock

At the moment I've been having problems with my speaker dock. Its a Goodmans clock radio and I've always been able to play my music from my touch through it. Yesterday I tried it but now no music comes from the actual speakers. I assumed it might be a bad connector on my touch but it's still charging perfectly by being in the dock so it can't be that. I also tried it on another speaker dock of a different make in case that was a problem but again there's no sound coming through the speakers just throught the actual ipod. Is there any way I could have accidently changed the settings on my ipod or is anyone else getting this problem ?

I'm having a similar issue with my iPod Touch (4th Generation). I place it on my old Apple dock (bought in 2007) and it can only charge/update. When I connect it to my speaker system through the dock's "Line Out" jack, the iPod plays through its own speakers. Is there anything I can do to correct this? Thank you in advance!

IMPORTANT - Sound on iPod Touch not working

My iPod touch 4g has been exposed to water, and now the sound does not work. If I plug it into a docking station, the audio will work, however, when I take it off, there is no volume slider. My headphones worked earlier (whenever I plug them in, Voice Control comes up), and the audio worked fine. However, now the headphones do not work! The speakers do not work at all since water contact.
Please help me. I am panicking a lot now.
Kai

Assuming the iPod is now dry:
- 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 hardware problem caused by the water.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the others. They do not fix yours.

Ipod touch not working with old ipod accessories..help?

I just got an ipod touch for xmas. I realized that I had all these accessories that worked with my old 20g black and white ipod with the click wheel. I had an ihome, ihome to go, and a $40 portable charger. The ihomes will play the music when i plug it in, but they will not charge it, like they did previously. My $40 charger doesnt charge it. I am going away and I need the charger to work. Does anyone know how to make it work or have the same problem? Thanks...

I just tried my iHome and it plays my music and it looks like its charging it. Also my third party docking station made by Tatil works also.

IPod touch not working with Sony clock radio.

iPod 4th gen won't play music through new Sony clock radio. It charges but won't play or control music. Works with 2 iPhones tested but not touch. Yes I am using the correct adapters, universal for iPod and the different ones for phones.

Does Sony say it will work with yur model iPod and iOS?
Do the phones have the same iOS?
Is the iPod fully seated in the dock?
Does the iPod sync and charge OK?

Sometimes this works

IPod Touch not working with Yamaha YDS-11, since version 3.1.1

In July 2009, I purchased a Yamaha home theater receiver model HTR-6240 with an iPod Universal dock YDS-11. The iPod Touch worked fine on it until I upgraded the iPod firmware to 3.1.1. When connected, it charges the iPod but the music only comes out of the iPod internal speaker and static comes out of the stereo speakers when turned up. I use an FM transmitter in the car that uses the line out and charges the Touch, and that still works since the upgrade. The Yamaha dock works fine with my 4th gen nano, so I am wondering how the 3.1.1 Touch upgrade affected the line out. Has anyone else run into this situation?

I'm having the same problem using I use my iPod Touch (Gen1) in a Denon ASD-11R Dock hooked up to my receiver. Prior to installing the upgrade, this setup worked very well and I was able to view all of the functions on my TV screen and fully control the IPod. Since the upgrade, when I try to view the IPod Touch through my system, it shows that it is "Loading" for about a minute and then reports "No Song". I tried rebooting and restoring the IPod a couple of times and this did not change the situation. I can still control the IPod through my remote (play, pause and skip songs), but cannot get it fully functional with my sound system like it was prior to the software upgrade.

Ipod touch not working with logic3 speaker

HI,
My 4g 8gb IPod Touch running 5.1.1 wont work with my logic3 wis030 soundbar speaker dock (which says made for ipod touch) it sometimes says "Accesory not supported" and other times it wont dock unless i fiddle about with it, and then other times it docks perfectly fine and charges and plays music,

Thanks for any help,
Quin

It may be the speaker as i just rememberd that my last ipod did it just before i changed it on the insurance for this new one,
Quin
