You can program the 880 to work with the Universal Dock with just the logitech software. Just add a Digital Music Server and when asked what Model it is enter "iPod Universal Dock". That's it. For some reason Logitech tech support says it can't be done but me and and a couple of friends have done it without any issues.

  • Volume control problem with 30GB iPod 3G, Universal Dock, and Apple Remote

    I just hooked up my 30GB iPod 3G to the Universal Doc and tried the my new Apple remote. The only buttons on the remote that work in controlling my iPod while on the dock are the play/pause and the skip forward and back buttons.
    For some reason the volume up and down buttons don't adjust the volume on my iPod while it's on the dock. Any ideas? Shouldn't the volume up and down work? Or do they only work on the newer iPods?
    Any info appreciated.

    btabz,
    Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
    When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
    According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
    Thanks,

  • IPod, Apple Universal Dock and Remote

    Hello everyone,
    So I have this 3-years-old 3g iPod, a 4th generation that still has black and white display and no video. Yesterday I just bought this Apple Universal Dock on a discount which has an IR receiver, audio output but no s-video output (i think it is an old version of the dock).
    The dock and the ipod works fine. My ipod does sometimes act funny like I can't auto-sync all my songs to the ipod but has to do it manually. But it works fine with the dock, charging and cleanly put the songs to the speakers just fine.
    Until I get my remote out from my macbook. I read it on the net that it is supposed to work with the dock as well. I've tried pairing it many times with the dock but still, not even volume up/down can be controlled from the remote. But the remote still works well with the macbook.
    Is this because simply my 3G iPod is, uhm, too old?

    Ok, I think you have the newer version of the dock (Apple removed the S-Video out in 2007). Yes the remote should work, what do you mean by "paired".
    And,

  • Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

    I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

    I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

  • Mini with new universal dock and IR remote

    I just got a new universal dock and IR remote for use with a Mini. It seems like the only controls on the remote that work are Next, Prev, and Play/Pause. Neither of the Volume buttons or the Menu button do anything. Is this normal? Is there any advanced information available for the new IR remote and dock (the manuals aren't very helpful)?

    The description would make you think otherwise...
    "Control your iPod from afar. Play, pause, control volume and skip forward and back between songs from across the room with the Apple Remote."
    It goes on to say that the Menu button is for use with the Mac.
    "When you click the Apple Remote's Menu button, your desktop fades and Front Row's sleek interface takes its place to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Movies folder and whatever DVDs you want to play."

  • Apple iPod Universal Dock And Remote

    So If I have the Apple iPod Universal Dock and the Apple Remote And a iPod nano do I have front row?

    So in case anyone at Apple is paying attention:
    1) Offer a package of the Apple Remote, a USB receiver for it, and Front Row together as a bundle for existing Mac users. It is a perfect fit for the Mac mini sitting in my stereo cabinet connected to my TV.
    2) Assuming that Photobooth only works with an iSight camera, then why not offer it as a free download for all customers who already have iSights? Presumably it wouldn't do anyone without an iSight any good - right? It should then be packaged with all iSights as a standard part of the package.
    If you can't do (1), then at least issue an update to Tiger (10.4.3 for example) that includes Front Row built in with the ability to drive it from a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse? Then offer the Apple Remote with a USB receiver later...
    It's so obvious I can't believe it wasn't done today...

  • IPhone and iPod with video docking station.

    I just got an iPhone and was happy to see that it fit in my iPod with video docking station. But when I plug it in I get a message that says that this docking station was not meant to be used with the iPhone, and then it just syncs up and works fine with iTunes anyway.
    So what's with the warning? Can the phone be damaged by the docking station? Should I be worried? And if there is nothing to worry about, why splash the warning?
    Thanks, I look forward to your insight.

    There are very few if any docks that are compatible with all functions of all ipods as well as the iphone 3G. Even Apple can scarcely manufacture one (although with a series of adaptors and optional cables they sell a "universal dock"). One of the biggest issues is the charging, as the 3G only charges via the 5 volt USB standard. I don't think there is a risk of damage, but an incoming call could generate some noise artifacts in your sound system. Have you been able to output video from your phone with that dock, and does it charge? BTW which dock are you using?

  • IPhone doesn't work with Universal Dock remote?

    Hello,
    I received an Apple Universal Dock with remote for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure I remember it and the remote working just fine with my iPhone when I first set it up. Today, I tried using it again, and found that I can't use the Universal Dock's remote for anything other than controlling the volume, and even though I can raise or lower the volume with the remote, the volume change is not reflected on my iPhone's screen - the iPhone's ipod volume indicator doesn't move.
    The Universal Dock and remote work just fine with my wife's second generation nano, and the iPhone works without any problems when docked into a Logitech mm50 speaker system - the mm50's remote is able to jump forward and backwards through songs, pause, play, etc. The problem seems limited to the combination of my iPhone and the Universal Dock and remote.
    Is this normal? According to the Universal Dock's package and documentation, it is compatible with the iPhone and doesn't mention anything about the remote having limited capabilities when used with the iPhone.
    If this isn't normal, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
    thanks in advance and best regards,
    tom

    i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

  • Universal dock and sector adapter compatibility

    Hi,
    is someone aware of compatibility issues between Apple Universal Dock and Apple sector adapter (plugged in the wall)?
    I have bought my dock in the US and my adapter is French. I cannot charge my iPod through the dock when it is plugged to the sector adapter. Works fine when I plug the dock to my computer through USB.
    Is this normal (maybe the dock are not the same in all the countries) or does my dock have a problem?
    (I had posted a somewhat similar question on the iPod touch forum but I guess that this one is more adapted).
    Thanks.

    I have exact the same issue with the Apple universal dock except it is with a "made for ipod" product.
    If I connect to Ipod directly it charges.
    If I connect to dock and put Ipod on the dock, no go.
    Anybody have the same issue?
    Cheers

  • IPhone 3G with Universal Dock

    I had that with a universal ipod dock but it worked fine. The only thing is that no sound came from the iphone when docked.

  • Problem with Universal Dock

    Hi everyone!
    I was wondering if any of you guys have had problems with volume adjustment with video iPod when attached to the new dock and stereo. In most cases I have to crank the volume almost to end, but not the all way, because then the sound only comes out of the headphones. As I said, this happens in almost every song. On other the songs - I've found only few - I can't adjust the volume, which I find more pleasing. So I would like to know, is there any way to change those preferences on the iPod, or with some other method?
    In case its needed, my iPods firmware is 1.0, which I wouldn't like uprage because of the backlight timer.
    Thanks in advance!

    Also have this very frustrating problem. Completely fine playing audio out through iPod touch 2nd Gen with 4.0 update connected to universal dock. Now after the iOS 4.0.2 update, no audio from speakers when I connect to universal dock (headphones and internal speaker work fine), the volume slider disappears when I connect the iPod to the dock and the TuneIn Radio app says "No Volume Available". Hardware volume buttons and apple remote have no effect.
    Resetted settings, downgraded back to iOS 4.0.1, restored to factory nothing seems to work. Strangely enough, tried connecting a friend's 2nd Gen ipod touch which hasn't been updated to ios 4.0 (it has 3.1.3) and the same thing: volume slide goes away when connected to dock, and no audio out from speakers. Speakers are good, tested them separately.
    Could it be that the ios 4.0.2 update screwed up the universal dock firmware?

  • Problem with Universal Dock after iOS 4.0.2 installation

    My universal dock is only two weeks old..It worked fine with iOS 4.0.1.
    Today everything was also ok but after I upgraded to 4.0.2 while the phone was sitting on the dock and now I get the error message:
    "this accessory is not optimized for this iphone"
    Tried to reset settings and clean connectors, but no results.
    Did you experience the same?
