Is it possible to dock an ipod nano 7?

Is it possible to dock an ipod nano 7?

It was disturbing to find out the new and expensive nano was incompatable with all older ipod connectors, and also that there was no direct solution -- no apple dock that has a lightning connector.
I bought a docking station ($60+) and a 30 to lightning converter ($30+), both from Apple.  It all looks fine and pretty, and the ipod7 nano charges, but it doesn't play.  There is a loud humming sound -- as if no connection from these standard apple parts. Obviously, the Apple 30 to lightning converter doesn't really work.
The design of the nano-7 is also awkward -- although one would like to plug in the audio cable to the nano, because the lightning connector and the audio jack are on the same side, but there is not enough room between the dock and the device to plug in the cable.  I suppose I can spend another $30 on some version of a cable that has a right-hand connection.
A final problem is that when the nano-7 volume is turned up, it disorts when played through an ordinary stereo.  Must be overloading the output or input.
All in all, engineering of the nano-7 could be more ergonomic and also better thought through. Not what one would expect from a very expensive device, in the 7th version, from Apple.  Perhaps got pushed out before it was really done.

    Only if the cable fits the connectors on each end.

  • Does FM tuner work with apple universal dock, with ipod nano 6g

    Does anyone know if the FM tuner in the ipod nano 6G works with the universal dock to give audio output?

    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.

  • Help to choose (HD) radio dock for iPod Nano 4th Gen

    Can you help me decide what radio dock to get for my new iPod Nano 4th Gen?
    Desired features:
    Speaker (obviously)
    iPod doc compatible with iPod Nano 4th Gen
    Radio AM/FM/HD
    Reasonable audio quality (at a minimum)
    I'm thinking of staying away from clock radio type docks as I suspect the audio quality on a clock radio dock is likely inferior to a speaker style dock.
    I'd appreciate your comments - Thanks!

    Thanks for the suggestion!
    I continued my search and also came across this one (Sony XDR-S10HDiP):

    When I checked this model earlier in the week I could have sworn they only claimed support up to iPod Nano 3rd Gen, but today they claim 4th Gen.

  • Docking station ipod Nano compatability

    I have an old nano which I play on my Panasonic SC-CH30DB and Acoustic solutions Speaker Dock (Model CSPK40Wi). I also have a new Nano (7th Generation) but it wont fit either docking station.  Can I get adapter plates for my existing docking stations or do I need to buy a new docking station for the 7th generation ipod model?

    Before spending the money on this check with Panasonic and Acoustic Solutions and be sure their equipment is compatible with this adapter.

  • Is it really possible to connect a iPod Nano to a itrip etc?

    I heard that it is possible to connect the nano to the iRiver aft-100 fm transmitter.
    I this true?
    have somebody tried it?
    if it works just fine, i will buy one!

    Any FM tranmitter will work with the nano as long as it doesn't require the headphone remote port which the nano doesn't have. The iTrip requires this port.

  • IPhone 3G Dock charge iPod Nano?

    Has anyone tried of does anyone know -- will the iPhone 3G dock also charge the latest generation of the Nano? My original iPhone's dock would charge the Nano & I'm hoping the Nano will fit into the new dock.

    Welcome to the Forums!
    Yes, it will fit. The iPhone 3G is actually a little wider than the original iPhone, so if the nano fits in your original dock, it will definitely fit into the new, slightly larger opening of the 3G dock.
    Hope this helps...

  • IPod Nano (6th gen) and Technogym treadmill

    Hi,
    I have a 6th gen iPod Nano and I have been using it with nike+ for a while. In particular, I have been using the transmitter plugged in the ipod and the sensor in my nike shoe to track my running data and eventually upload it to nikeplus.com. Hence, I have one sensor linked.
    Today, I went to my local gym and saw a Technogym treadmill with a big touchscreen and a possibility to dock an ipod. (I assume that the model of treadmill is a couple of years old, because it had a TV, fan, ipod support, etc., but no internet support. Here is the image of the exact treadmill - http://cityfitness.lv/upload/IMG_0452.JPG).
    Moreover, I plugged in my 6th gen ipod nano. Set up and started a 5k run on the technogym treadmill. My ipods music was accessible on the technogym instantly. Also, I saw that during the workout the ipod's screen showed "Nike+. Workout data is recording" or something like that.
    I did the 5k and finished the workout. I unplugged the iPod nano but my workout did not appear under Fitness - History. When I got home, I connected the ipod to iTunes, and the ordinary-afer-a-workout popup asking whether I want to send workout data to nikeplus appeard. I clicked yes. BUT, again, nikeplus.com does not show my technogym workout and neither does itunes.
    The only thing appearing in iTunes, is a new sensor. Its name is "Gym User 1" or something like that.
    So the question is. How can I get my 6th gen iPod Nano to fully work with technogym treadmill?
    Thanks,
    Reinis

    Hello mark0198,
    I'm afraid not. Your computer must meet the minimum requirements.
    Mac computer with USB 2.0 port, Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later, and iTunes 10 or later

  • IPod Nano does not fit iHome or JBL accessories??

    Hello
    I received an iPod nano about two months ago as a gift. It does not fit the iHome alarm clock (with modifier for nano), nor does it fit the JBL player with the modifier. For both, I've had to take out the modifier and then it plays.. did that for testing. Don't want to do because am afraid will damage iPod without the modifier in to support the iPod.
    Is it possible that a my iPod nano has a manufacturing defect, and the connection slot is minutely off from what the standard should be?
    Any advice??
    Thanks!

    The dock connector on the 2nd gen nano is not exactly in the same place as the one on the first gen.
    Looking at the iPod from the front, it's slightly more to the left.
    So, are these accessories compatible with the 2nd gen nano?
    It just says "nano" on their website, so I suspect not.

  • Can I connect my Ipod Nano to my sound system with amplifier

    Is it possible to connect my Ipod nano to my sound system which has an amplifier. If so any problem will occur to my ipod nano.

    The usual way of doing this is to buy the universal dock, then use the line out jack on the dock to connect to your amp via a cable that has a mini jack (like the one on your headphones) at one end and 2 RCA phono plugs at the other end (to connect to line in sockets on your amp).
    You can do this direct from the headphone socket on the iPod instead of buying the dock, but personally I don't think the sound quality is as good this way.

  • How to get my photos from my Ipod nano 2gb (colourscreen) to my TV

    I've got an iPod(2Gb) with colour display. And I've got the AV connection Kit. The music is no problem, but I just can't seem to find a way to show my photo's on the tv.
    I read somewhere on this forum that I should click on "TV on" in the slideshow menu. But there is NO "TV On" in this feature. Under "transitions" there is nothing! I read that there sould be the TV On option!???
    CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME!
    At the Apple store they said that it should be possible to connect the iPod nano 2Gb to the TV!

    Astrid31,
    Unfortunately for you, the iPod nano does not support TV output through either the headphone port or through a dock. The only iPods that facilitate TV output are the iPod with color display and the iPod with video (5th generation)

  • IPod nano issue

    Hello everyone on the Apple Discussions!
    Well Basically I brought an iPod nano for christmas, about a month later their was a problem with the screen (pixel issues) Sent the iPod back to Apple, they replaced it... but after I came back from my trip to france so didn't have anything to listen to on the 3hour train journey
    The new iPod's been fine until last week where it just completley stopped working for no apparent reason, it was completley dead. I'm going to greece soon and the iPod probally won't be back by then...
    I've allways been carefull with my iPod and allways encouraged my friends to get Apple products and allways respected Apple but when I tryed to phone technical support (UK) I got put through to Apple US support and the wrong department. So at the moment i'm really an unhappy customer...
    Would it be possible to refund the iPod nano to get an iPod video (i'd pay the difference) they just look more robust and hold more songs.
    Any help will be highly aprechiated.
