Is the docking station really needed?

Is it worth spending the additional money for this?

Thanks. Wanted to verify that. I just ordered my first nano yesterday for my daughter along with a fm transmitter, case, and itunes gift card. I was hoping on not having to spend anymore on this. Ill just pass on the docking station then.

  • Does the 4th gen Nano have an adapter for docking stations? Need help!!!!

    I have a philips dock and play docking station and whilst my 1st gen Nano is very happy playing on it the 4th Gen won't even go on properly. Am i not inserting it correctly or are they just not compatible? What i'd really like to know, is there an adapter for the 4th Gen so that i can attach it to the docking station as well?

    Hiya...try this http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1695
    It's a dock adaptor. Not sure if it works - but frankly, I am just as annoyed as everyone else about the change in connection. I have the original Bose sound dock and the 4th Generation Nano does not work in it.

  • My ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. Help?

    my ipod will only charge on the docking station. says it has a full charge but when I take it off the docking station it says battery is low so I've plugged it into the usb and plugged it into my wall outlet but it is still not charging. I'm not sure what generation it is, its an 80GB. Help?

    The battery is possibly unable to take as much power as a normal battery. It may need a replacement battery.

  • I have a good question does how many things we have in the dock station

    Slow our computer down, I used to have a pc and the more you had on your taskbar the slower the system was. Does the same thing happen with my Imac or does it not matter. If it does slow things down I would like a recomendation on how many programs I should put in the dock station without affecting my systems's performance

    Good questions!
    You will only really be adding 512MB because you'll have to replace one of the 512MB's with the 1GB. If you are using that much ram for your everyday usage you should consider upgrading your ram to 2GB (2x1GB) modules. You will get a little better price on a 2GB kit, but you can upgrade 1GB now and one later if you wish.
    The ScreenSaver "Options/Settings" like the Dock won't make any difference, but letting it run will.
    If you go to: "Macintosh HD / Application / Utilities" you will see an App. called "Activity Monitor" open it to see all your processes. If you want you can drag a copy of the icon to your Dock same as other App's, it uses 10MB when open so quit when your not using it as well.

  • What the iPod touch really needs.

    So I may have missed a thread on this... But does it not seem logical that what the the iPod touch really needs bluetooth. I could care less about using bluetooth for audio, synking or anything else but 1 thing...
    Given that the iPhone is locked into AT&T wouldn't a bluetooth enabled pone allow you to use bluetooth's networking abilities to share you cell phones data plan? Granted some wireless providers (cough*verizon*cough) cripple there phones and disable this feature. but it would be at least an option to some people.

    The ipod touch does not support bluetooth nor does it have bluetooth built into the device. THere are bluetooth adapters that you might use for like headphones but nothing like data transfer and what you mention. If this is a feature you would like on a future ipod then leave your feedback at the link below.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    THese forums are for technical questions regarding the ipod touch and not for speculation or rumors. You should go elsewhere for such a thing. If your interested in how bluetooth works on the iphone then it is best to post your question about that product in the right forum linked below.

  • How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

    How do I get Elements to occupy full screen on my macbook pro? - the docking station remains visible and I don't want to have the dock in hide mode?

    Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!

  • HT1473 How do I get a purchased song to play on my ipod shuffle remote from the docking station?

    How do I get a purchased song to play on my ipod shuffle remote from the docking station?

    I can think of only one reason a song would be "converted" while it is being loaded on a shuffle.
    Select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar, under DEVICES.  Over to the right, depending on iPod model, go to the Summary or Settings tab.  There should be a setting there that says Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC (the 128 kbps part may be adjustable).  If that checkbox is checked, try unchecking it.
    NOTE:  This setting may allow more songs to fit on the shuffle, but for any converted song, the sound quality will become inferior.  So I don't use it.

  • Does the iPhone 5 really need a case?

    Does the iPhone 5 really need a case? ive been reading articles that says it doesn't, opinions please...

    In that case (no pun intended), you may not need one. I agree, it does look and feel better without the case.  I bought a clear case so it still shows off the design, but the problem is the case itself scratches easily.
    It's your call. But I would say, if you are not worried about dropping the phone (with AppleCare+, a replacement is only $49 as you may know), you do not absolutely need a case.

  • Is it possible to plug ipad 2 with the smart cover on the dock station?

    I'm wondering if the dock station can be used while Ipad2 is covered by the SmartCover?
    Thank in advance for answers !
    Greetings from France

    I before I bought my case for my iPad2 I had the cover on it, in order to get it in the dock I had to slightly open the cover to seat the iPad on the dock then I could close it again. There is not enough room in the cradle to hold the iPad with the cover closed (tight fit without the cover), but I did not have to remove the cover to put it in, just open it.

  • HT4528 I pulled my iPhone out of the docking station/speakers and now the ring tones don't work.  Anyone know a fix for this?

    Does anyone know if there is a fix for iPhone 4S when you pull it out of the docking station and now the ring tones don't work -- it only vibrates.

    Basic troubleshooting of the device is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
    Do other sounds work?
    Have you checked to see if the dock connector or headphone jack have debris in them?

  • 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

    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

  • Ejecting W520 from the docking station

    Hello everybody,
    This is a very silly question, but there in no eject button on the docking station for W520. I wonder what are the best practices to eject a laptop safely?
    Thanks so much.

    I wonder what are the best practices to eject a laptop safely?
    Wasabi:
    I used to encounter problems ejecting my W500 from its docking station, even when I did everything correctly.  As a result, I got into the habit of shutting the darn computer off (completely), then ejecting it.
    In his post above, Thetiv states that the W520s might be different, and might not have such complications when they are ejected.  Quite possibly this is true, however, once bitten, twice shy...  My personal 'best practice' is to turn the darn thing off before ejecting it.

  • I can't get my ipod touch to slide all the way down on a docking station.  The ends the stick up on the docking station seem to prevent it from going all the way down.  What do I do?

    I can't connect my ipod touch to a docking station.  The ends stick up on the docking station connection piece.  I believe that is what is preventing my ipod from sliding down all the way.  What am I doing wrong?

  • I just bought an IPOD Touch 5th and just realized that there is no place  to insert it into a Bose Docking Station to play the music from the IPOD thru the Bose, any suggestions.  The 4th Generation had a larger hole to connect to the docking station.

    place it on the Docking Station like the IPOD 4 did.  Do you have any suggestions?  Does this not dock?
