Itouch and OLD altec lansing ipod speakers????

I just bought an Itouch. When I plug it into some old speakers that I used with my first IPOD, I get the error "charging not supported with this device". You can dismiss the error. It works fine with the speakers other than that. Question is : Is it OK to use the itouch w/ these speakers?? I don't care that it's not charging, I just don't want to do any damage. I guessing it's fine but just wondering

Do those speakers have an iPod connection on them?
I have some Logitech speakers that don't charge via the unit's power adaptor, but if I connect my iPhone's wall charger via the speakers iPod port, it will charge. It means 2 power adaptors need be connected to the speakers (one for the speakers themselves, the other for my iPhone), so it's not the cleanest solution, but it works.
Cheers!

Altec-Lansing XT1 speakers need to be unplugged after every shutdown

I recently bought a set of Altec-lansing XT1 speakers, partly because I read lots of good reviews but mostly because I missed being able to use my iSub.
They sound better than the internal speakers and having a subwoofer again makes a world of diffecence.
But one problem is becoming increasingly annoying: every time I shut down the computer, I have to unplug and re-plug the speakers' USB cord to get them working.
I have checked the settings in system prefs, MIDI setup and Garage Band, but nothing will make them work each restart except unplugging/plugging USB.
Any suggestions?

I have some more clues/data...
If I connect the XT1 USB Speakers to my PowerBook G4 running 10.4.8, everything works perfectly, reboot, power-up, everything.
One difference I noticed, on the PowerBook, the XT1's blue power LED is lit a second or two before the gray apple appears on boot and stays solid blue from that point on.
On the Mac Pro, the XT1's blue power LED is lit a second or two before the gray apple appears (like the PB) BUT shortly after the gray apple appears the blue LED flashes for less than a second.
If the Mac Pro USB Audio driver mutes the XT1 the blue LED will go out. If the USB power flickers the blue LED will go out.
More clues, more confused.

can anyone tell me what i need and where to get it so i can make this work??

Hi,
If you haven't already, take everything out of the iPod touch box. A Dock adapter should have been included in the box, as mentioned in these articles:

Nano docking compatibility with Altec Lansing IM7 speakers?

I just bought Altec Lansing's terrific speakers for my mini - sounds easily as good as my friends Bose - and wonder if anyone knows if the nano is compatible with it. The mini just docks into it - not sure if the nano has identical docking "port" at bottom.
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
According to their website, it is compatible...

Ipod + Winxp MCE Docking Issues(using Altec lansing Inmotion speakers)

hi:
im new to this kind of things(posting in forums) i like to share an issue and some stuff that help me out to solve them, and ofcourse a part that is not solved. here it comes.
i buyed and ipod clickwheel a year ago 40gb model(im not sure of what generation it is), it was working fine with my G5 i use a Inmotion speaker system(not im500 or im7 just a plain inmotion) and while i used the firewire cable with,it give me no trouble, recently i stop using my G5 for handling the ipod and switched to a brand new pc i brought it has Windows XP MCE (2002 SP2+up to date fixes) there is when all my troubles began, first it was amazingly hard to configure it, i mean the ipod was in HFS(MAC native file system) i will list down the issues and how i solved them in order.
1.- windows was unable to recognize it, i got an error message about "windows cant recognize the USB device".
Solution: after various attemps i decided to plug it without the Inmotion speaker system and yes it worked, windows did recongnize it
2.- after that i tried the restore option from "ipod for windows 2.0" and i got the folder and exclamation logo on the ipod, after the restoration process began and say that i have to unplug it and let the firmware flash occurs (i unplugged it ) i got the folder and exclamtion icon on the screen.
Solution: i tried the Mac/Ipod updater 2006-06-28 and it worked fine, i got the message to unplug the ipod for a firmware flash( after checking battery was full charged) and with that software it worked fine it finished and windows was able to see it,FAT32 SYTEM FILE.
3.-THE UNSOLVED PROBLEM: i been trying to break my head open why when i use the Inmotion speaker system as a bridge between the ipod and the PC( using a USB 2.0)
windows is not able to recognize it it says "windows cant recognize the USB device"(or something like it) other curious stuff is that i tried to plug it to an older PC i have i believe and Intel D850 motherboard P4/1.7Ghz that is able to see/detect the IPOD even when i plug it using the Inmotion speaker system, it says something like" USB device of high speed detected, it will work with decreased speed" but still it is able to SEE IT, while my brand new PC cant, i tried another P4/2.4Ghz and it cant detect the device(using the Inmotion speaker system). Why do i seek any words of wisdom, because those 2 speaker where very expensive here(im in bolivia right now) and i want to break them to bits, i use the inmotion as my charger station and i tend to play my songs from there it was practical i shouldn´t have buyed a 150$ bucks gadget if it wanst.
HELP: i will apreciate any help that all you may provide, i hope that all the steps above helps anyone that might have some related issues and dont use a expensive spekaer system as bridge. , and yes i will like to solve it, after all those 2 little speaker really sound great.
PD: i have tried plug it other USB 2.0 ports i have, i even tried to make it work iwthout the DC power( Inmotion speaker system,not Inmotion plus or IM5 just a plain Inmotion) cable plugged if anyone have a similar issue and need more details please let me know, and my most sincere apoligies for my english,to say the truth is not my native languaje and thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks.

Hello Sean,
Since I don't have an 'imPLUS', have you tried resetting the nano?

Is there a way to combine and old Model of ipod that is no longer synced to any of my computers with my new ipod so I can get rid of one?

I have an ipod nano that my friend gave me with music on it from her computer that I have never plugged into mine. I also just got an Ipod touch that is hooked to my laptop. Is there a way to get the music off the nano and into itunes so that i can only have the ipod touch and get rid of the nano. My goal is to purchase a classic ipod that has much more memory and eventually get rif of the touch but first I need to know if I can lose the nano without losing the muic off it. Any insight would help. Thanks

Altec Lansing iM plus and Nano

I'm thinking about purchasing a Nano, I want to make sure it will work with the iM plus speakers I have just purchased for my mini... The plug on the Nano looks to be of center... Does anyone know if the Nano will fit in the dock opening on the speaker base??
Thanks,
Terry

Not sure about the iM plus but the Nano works with my Altec Lansing imMini speakers (that I used for my Mini). Because the 'plug' is off-center on the Nano - the ipod is slightly to the right when it is plugged into my speakers. Works fine, though.

Altec Lansing imMini no longer works with Nano

Hey,
I have a the Altec Lansing imMini speakers - which I originally bought for my Mini. When I bought the Nano, the speakers worked perfectly - though the Nano was slightly off-center. Recently, it only works occasionally (after a few plug/unplugs). Now, it doesn't seem to work at all.
The Nano still charges but no sound comes out (except the pathetic squeaking sound that the iPod makes when it first connects to the speakers).
Anyone else experienced similar erratic problems with Altec Lansing speakers - or in fact, anything at all that connects to the dock-connector?
June

Thanks dwb - it seems to have done the trick (for now, anyway!) Really appreciate your help.

Will the TX work with an Altec Lansing IMT1 speaker dock

Hi all,
I have a palm tx and an altec lansing inmotion (imt1) speaker dock. When i plug my TX into it, i cannot hear any sounds through the imt1 speakers. I can only hear sound through the rear speaker on the TX. The battery symbol has a lightning bolt through it, so i assume that it is making a connection to the dock and is charging. I am only using the main docking part, and not any other cables to make a connection between the two. The imt1 is powered on, and the setting is turned to the music setting. Hope that someone can help me out here. thanks
Post relates to: Palm TX

i havent tried it, but i dont see any reason it wont work.

Altec Lansing driver needed for Model ASW0170510BK Speaker system

I need the driver for my Altec Lansing computer speakers. The speaker system is model number ASW0170510BK
I have tried numerous phone numbers at Altec Lansing and they all go to the same recording stating technical support requires a call Mon, Wed, or Friday between 8;30am and 5pm Eastern time. Good luck getting anyone to answer the phone. With all the changes at Altec Lansing there seems to be no support for older speaker systems.

2 of 4 speakers and Subwoofer not working for Altec Lansing Lucasfilms THX Surround (circa 2003)

I am attempting to connect my Altec Lansing Lucasfilm THX 5.1 sound system to my HP ENVY All-in-one. I think the original audio card for the sound system came on a Dell with Soundblaster.
I have connected the green audio to the jack in the back which only gets 2 of the 4 speakers working (even after configuring the speakers). The subwoofer is connected to the sub jack in the back panel as well and is not working at all. I realize that I am trying to have an ancient sound system work with my fancy new HP Envy. Am I asking too much?? I thought maybe a driver update might be needed. But in theory, if those jacks are available in the back it should work (she says optimistically).
Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.

Not a problem. Thank you for the additional information.
It sounds like you have the speakers connected correctly. If there is only one connector for all of the speakers, it may be that you will only be able to use two of them. However, I am not certain why the subwoofer isn't working. Is it selected in the Control Panel / Sound? I realize that you said the speakers are configured in the Control Panel, but is the subwoofer separate?
I have an old (2001) Polk Audio set of speakers. I have only been able to get two of them and the subwoofer to work with my new HP computer. It sounds fine without the other two speakers.

Do the Altec Lansing inMotion iM600 Speakers work with 80GB iPod Classic???

I have already bought these speakers and now I am worried that they might not work with my new iPod. On the website, it does not say that it is compatible with the new iPod classic, but its doesn't say that its not either. Just incase you don't know what speakers I'm talking about, its this one: http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/canadastore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E2 856423&fnode=home/shopipod/ipodaccessories/speakers&nplm=TM019LL/A
PLEASE HELP!!!

I'm beginning to think that speakers should work with the Classic ipods because they don't need software to run??? You connect them to the ipod using a dock or a lead. I think the issue with the camera connector could be to do with the software that it uses to transfer photos from camera to ipod.
I'm looking at speakers which'll either be the soundtraveller k3000 or the Altec Lansing Orbit. Both are within budget and have decent battery life although the latter doesn't appear to be able to run off mains but has longer battery life.
What I might do is email the 2 companies and ask or even possibly phone them as both are UK based.

HT2494 Good afternoon, I have a set of 5 speakers + 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 cables - 1 black + 1 yellow + 1 green - to my new i-mac. What connection type do I need? And where I can connect it? BR Pascal

Good afternoon,
I have a set of 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer 5.1 from Altec Lansing and I would like to connect the 3 exit cables - 1 black + 1 green + 1 yellow - to my new i-mac 22" - acquired last week - equipped with only 4 USB 3.0 + 2 Thunderbolt + 1 Ethernet + 1 jack for micro or speaker.
What connector type do I need? And where can I connect ot?
Many thanks in advance for your help
Best regards
Pascal Quennesson

Sorry you cannot
That speaker system is for sound cards on PC's which separate the channels, the Mac's don't seperate the channels or decode surround sound formats and only pass the 5.1 through the dual analog/optical stereo mini port.
You might find a external device that accepts Toslink optical inputs and then separates the channels and sends the appropriate signal to the powered speakers.
