Is it ok to leave my ipod on docking station most of the time?

I have an ipod touch that I use solely to listen to music in my room and as an alarm clock. Will it ruin my ipod or damage the battery if I leave it on the ihome docking station the majority of the time?

It is OK as long as your almost completely discharge and then full charge the battery monthly as recommended here:

    can I leave my ipod plugged in and on all the time?

    That will degrade the battery. Apple recommends that you fully discharge and fully charge monthly.

  • I have an apple certified refurbished iPod touch 3rd generatio.  When playing the music with headphones, the music moves from song to song.  When it is on a docking station, it repeats the song.  Any ideas why or how to fix it?

  • IPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time every half a second!

    My iPod Mini continually skips tracks all the time every half a second. The only thing that stops it is if you press pause but once you press play off it goes again. This means noi music is able to be played because it's always skipping. The menu button works as does the backlight if you hold the menu button down. The enter button works and the touch pad navigation also works. Both skip buttons have no effect on the unstoppable skipping. Can anybody help or at least verify the problem with other users of simular problems and if they were able to fix them simply, without having to go to an Apple dealer (it's out of warrenty i think)Any help would be appreciated.

  • IPod Touch 2G + iPod Photo docking station

    I have an iPod Photo docking station connected to my iMac via USB. Are there any issues with using ipod photo dock with ipod touch 2g? I'm only interested in recharging and syncing and not using the s-video or line out ports.

    Its fine. I used it for a bid too. Its just a dock, doesn't matter which iPod you have on it.

  • HT1339 my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks

    my ipod nano 7th generation....works fine as long as it's on the docking station. when off the station, the display goes dark after a few seconds. it's fully charged. please help. this is the heartbeat of my business. thanks

    In the worst case, it's still under warranty (all 7th gen nanos are still under one year from purchase).
    So, you disconnect it from power, and it almost immediately goes dead?  You can try a Restore... but it doesn't sound like the type of problem a Restore will fix.
    You should probably have it looked by Apple Tech Support.  If there's an Apple Store nearby, you can take it to the store's Genius Bar.  To avoid waiting, you can make a reservation at the store's web page

    As long as the dockings station has a headphones jack on it, you can attach speakers.

  • Will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    Which iPod is it?
    If it's the newest generation iPod dock, then it probably won't as the new iPod is much thinner than the iPhone 5. It also depends on the shape of the dock (if it has a thin space for the iPod device). Do you think you could add a picture. I will give a more direct suggestion of you can.

  • Is it OK to leave my iPod Touch docked on a docking speaker when I'm not using it?

    Hello. I'd like to know if it's OK leaving my iPod Touch permanently docked on a docking speaker when I'm not using it, or else can be risky to the iPod or the battery to have it permanently charging.
    Thank you.

    For maximum battery life you should monthly fully discharge the battery and then fully charge it.

  • TS2634 Problem IPod Touch docking station.

         I have an IPod Touch in a docking station which drives a player piano,  I have an Apple A1256 docking station with a remote control.  The IPod suddenly stopped working in the docking station.  The IPod screen appears to show the IPod playing, but no signal is leaving the docking station.  When I plug the piano directly into my IPod, the piano plays.  Has anyone encountered the problem of losing output from a docking station, and if so, how did you fix it?

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock 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. Bring both iPod and dock

  • Can I leave my mac book air plugged in all the time at work, without damaging the battery?

    I know people may have asked this questions many times, however I intend on using my mac book air at work and would like know I I can leave it on powered on in the office and the unplugged at night?. Would it damage my MacBook?

    Yes. It will not damage the battery. You do not need to unplug it at night. If you use it from the AC charage all the time, then about once every two months you should use it on battery power until the battery drops below 20%. Then fully recharge the battery after which you should allow the battery to "rest" for about one hour. It is OK to use the computer during that time but do not yet connect the AC adaptor. Follow this practice and your battery should have a good life.
