Is it possible to overcharge an iPod Classic in a Bose SoundDock?

Do I need to be concerned about leaving my iPod Classic 120MB docked in my Bose SoundDock Series II when not in use? Could this practice overcharge the iPod's battery and hence shorten the life?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but the iPod will not allow itself to be overcharged - it will "quick-charge" to 80%, trickle charge the remaining 20%, then stop whether plugged into your computer or your Bose SoundDock.

  • Connecting ipod classic 160Gb to bose sounddock

    the ipod 160Gb is so thin so doesn't sit in a bose sounddock securely, have to wedge something behind it to get proper connectivity......the plastic adapter doesn't hold it upright. Any ideas?

    I assume that by "plastic adaptor" you mean the one that came with your iPod 160GB Classic. It doesn't hold the iPod upright, it will be leaning back slightly. You have inserted the "Dock Adaptor" the right way round I hope?
    If you have the insert (Dock Adaptor) in the correct way and the iPod is leaning backwards slightly, but no sound comes out (unless youy force the iPod upright) it sounds as thought the connector in the dock is broken.

    "It" being the iPod Classic I assume.
    The iPod Classic does not have Bluetooth.
    If the Bose wireless function is Bluetooth, then you could by a Bluetooth transmitter, designed for the Apple 30-pin dock connector. That takes the output from the iPod and sends it via Bluetooth. Power for the transmitter is taken from the iPod.

  • Is it possible to replace my iPod Classic with this following reasons?

    1. The battery drains faster than the tech specs.
    2. It's still under warranty.
    3. I have a Silver iPod Classic(80gig) and I compared it with my mums Black iPod Classic(80gig) and her clickwheel responds much faster. Mine usually freezes.
    4. My mums Black iPod Classic has much brighter LCD screen than mine. We both set it to 50% brightness & you can see the difference.
    5. And I noticed that the casing of my iPod wasn't perfectly attached it's a bit lose.
    6. My mum and I has tha same movies in our iPods but when i play this movies mine has more pixelation than my mums Black iPod Classic.
    Do I have the right to replace it with a new one and could i demand for a Black iPod if replacement is possible?

    Since no-one here is an Apple employee we can't give you any definitive answer to your question.
    Only Apple can determine whether your iPod is replaceable under warranty or not.
    You can either arrange online service here.

    Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

  • IPod 'blown up' & damaged Bose SoundDock

    Hi,
    My iPod Classic, not sure which generation - I think 5th?, bought in 2005 has 'blown-up' whilst in my Bose SoundDock.
    The iPod is totally dead, the back has come away and the screen is a mess.
    The SoundDock no longer works either.
    I'm not quite sure what to do as they are both out of warranty?
    Can anybody advise?
    Many Thanks,

    If the back of the iPod has come away and the screen is in a mess, it does sound as though it has blown up (as opposed to you exercising poetic licence. )
    First thing, avoid touching any mess that has come out of the iPod because it could be harmful to you. (It sounds as though the battery has actually exploded.)
    I think the iPod has had it, in which case, buy new. You could try getting it "repaired", although in that case I would suggest you try Apple. Apple will simply swap out the iPod with a replacement (of the same type) whereas I think third party suppliers will probably attempt to rebuild a broken iPod, which in this case probably won't be possible. I could be wrong about that though.) It's really a question of whether you want to pay for a repair or buy new at (probably) slightly higher cost.
    However, the bose is a different proposition. Since you're resident in the UK and presumably have a UK mains-plug on the Bose, you could test the plug's fuse on the Bose to see if it's that that has failed. You never know, you may be lucky. The Bose website (http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-entertainment/customer-service/for-owners/faqs/ SoundDock-II-FAQ/index.jsp) has a phone number for their troubleshooting/repair line on 0800 781 1274 (UK number). Presumably, they can advise you whether it's worth buying a new power supply - they certainly supply them. They will need the 17 digit serial number of your Bose (it's on the SoundDock's base) when you call.
    One thing you should consider doing is writing to both Apple and Bose to let them know what has happened, since exploding batteries is a serious situation. They may even ask you to let them see the devices so that they can work out what caused the problem.
    Good luck.

    3) when removed it locks for up to 20 secs

  • IPod touch 4 with Bose sounddock portable

    Hey buddies, my IPod touch 4 (iOS 5.1.1) isn't fit with Bose Sounddock Portable, how come? You guys have any solution? Thx

    If you mean theat the 4G iPd does not full mate with the dock you have two solutions:
    - Modify the dock with knife and duct tape to make it fit.
    - Use a dock extender:

  • 'Solved': interference of iPod Touch 4G on Bose SoundDock

    My iPod Touch 4G generates an irritating humming noise from the speakers of an upgraded (to support charging of the iPod Touch 4G) Bose SoundDock when docked and playing an album. This is somehow related to the 'Now Playing' screen (perhaps the scrolling banner at the top?). If I hit the 'back' Arrow on the 'Now Playing' screen to go back to the 'All Albums' screen the humming noise is gone..
    Regards,
    Gijsbert

    Yes, it seems like a defect in the iPod. If the iPod is within warranty and has not been abused Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one at no cost.

  • Ipod Nano 8GB with Bose SoundDock

    Hi all,
    My new Nano 8GB won't fit into the Bose SoundDock using any of the supplied plastic adaptors. It fits without an adaptor and works fine but the supplied Nano adaptor won't allow it to fit.
    Does anyone know where to get an adaptor that fits?
    Thanks,

    If location sevices is turned off then you can't locate the iPod.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Using iPod classic (or any iPod) as OSX startup disc?

    hi there
    does anybody know whether it is possible to use an iPod classic (i have the 160GB) as a startup disc (emergency startup disc) for any mac computer (ie. mac mini or MBP)?
    i already use an external 500 GB disc via USB, which works well, though very very slow. so i thought this should work with an iPod too, once activating the "use as volume" option. true?
    thanks and cheers
    george

    hi niel
    thanks for your post. clear. i was actually less thinking about running a mac then from the iPod but just having a better option (with some own system settings) than just a startup CD in case of troubles.
    i don't really get though why this should overheat the iPod as when you use it as simple sound player it is also accessing the hard disk constantly. don't see much difference there. however, i have no warranty left and my previous iPod died a few weeks after the warranty expired. murphy's law.
    right now i am using the USB 500GB external hard drive as startup disk with a new mac mini because my MPB is broken and i had to send it to repair, so the easiest way which would allow me to use all my data (and the HD in the MBP is a 500 GB, but in the mac mini only 320) was to take the original HD out of the MBP and purchase a case and this way i can use it from any mac. i purchased another 500GB disk and copied all the data on it and placed it in the MBP before i sent it to fix. the problem is most likely hard ware related and i hope to get it back soon to be able to work with speed again...
    by the way, the original MBP hard disk which i use now as an external gets way less hot now than it used to be when in the MBP.
    this just to explain you why i always like to have one more copy of my settings somewhere and ideally as a startup drive, and since my iPod is not full...
    thanks again for your post. highly appreciated.
    cheers

  • IPod Classic and digital output to dac

    Hi,
    The topic is not new but I couldn'f find a concrete answer to this very simnple question:
    Is it possible to use the iPod Classic headphone out as a digital out to a dac using a toslink cable?

    No. There is no optical capability in any iPod's headphones jack.
    However, you can also get high-quality audio from the dock connector, and there seems to be a product that outputs a digital signal

  • IPod classic 80GB playing just one podcast episode

    I upgraded from my Fifth generation iPod and was wondering if it was possible to set my iPod Classic 80GB to play just one podcast episode and then return to the menu? It seems like the default is to move to the next podcast episode after the prior one is finished. Thanks

    Yes, turn on shuffle song/albums! I know - that makes no sense
    Either:
    1. use the Settings menu, go to shuffle and turn it on, or;
    2. while playing a song press the select (centre) button until the shuffle option appears and then turn it on.
    Then when you play a Podcast the display will show 1 of 1 (instead of the 1 of X that you see now!) and at the end of that one episode, it will stop.
    One important thing to note though, there is a shuffle option on the *Main Menu* but if you use that to start shuffle, it will not change the Podcasts to play-one-episode only. (For this reason, I removed the shuffle option from the *Main Menu* .)
    I only found this by accident - if it's documented, I can't find it!
