Looking for a In-line dock connector charger or dock connector splitter

Hi all,
I am looking for either a dock connector charger with a male & female connector, or a dock connector splitter to be able to charge my handset while using a Bluetooth A2DP Audio transmitter. I know this might not matter in a few months due to the 3.0 firmware, but for now, I have this need.
I like to listen to music while working, and I hate being tethered by headphone wires. My company doesn't want us to stream audio at work as it uses up bandwidth, so I use my iPhone with the adapter to broadcast to a Bluetooth stereo headset. Unfortunately, I cannot use the charger and the adapter at the same time, because they use the same dock connector port. This means, my battery drains at a pretty hefty pace, due to the running application and the adapter. What I need is the ability to have both the adapter and the charger plugged into the phone at the same time. I cannot be the only one with this problem. Does anyone out there have a solution?
Thanks.
---Ken

There are some bluetooth adaptors around that have a "pass-through" connector for the dock connector but i don't know how compatible they are with the iPhone. My friend uses a bluteooth transmittor that connects to the headphone jack so he can charge the iPhone in the car and listen to music at the same time. I'm betting the best option would be a trusty Google search for iPhone bluetooth or something of that ilk. Though considering you'd have to buy it i'd still probably recommend waiting till the 3.0 update depends how much in need you are i guess as come 3.0 the hardware would be a bit redundant.

    Hi,
    I am not sure I can help on a Utility for doing this.
    Again my Sagem router tells me the speed it is connecting to.
    A Basic (I think what the service is supposed to be) on the front page and a Statistic item I get slightly different readings from.
    The second are much closer to the Speeds I get from here
    http://www.speedtest.net/
    IPNetmonitor used to be a trial download as well.
    It can do things like Trace Routes (you put in an IP and it will tell you the pings times to all the intervening servers).
    I did use it some time ago as it then listed it did Port Scans on UDP (The Network Utility from Apple only does TCP and iChat uses UDP ports).
    I have not come across anything that would tell me the Cable length to the Exchange. (So many factors that could make a measurement difficult to calibrate).

  • Looking for dual wireless rechargeable headphone system with dual docks

    I'm looking for a pretty specific product, and was wondering if anyone knows of a product that'll fit the bill.
    I want a wireless dual headphone system with a charging dock for each headset. Transmitter should accept line level signal from dual RCA plugs. I'd prefer a 900mhz transmitter, but IR is acceptable. Either the system should come with two headsets or it should be a system with a transmitter/headset with the option to add a charging dock and an additional heaset.
    My old system was a Sony which is on its last legs, and I found a replacement from another manufacturer with dual headsets but it lacks charging docks - you have to plug the heaset into the transmitter and both heasets can't be charged at once. Also, the manufacturer says not to charge a headset for more than 24 hours or you can damage the battery.
    Anyone know if Sony or someone else makes what I want?
    Solved!

    Hi Verne,
    Sony does not have manufacture dual Wireless Headphones. You can perform an Internet search and check for any third party dual headphones.

    You are not addressing Apple here at all.  We are all itunes users like you.
    If you believe that your account has been hacked, then change your password, alert your credit card company and discuss reimbursement with them, and let itunes suport know about it ( click "Support" ant the top of this page, then click the link under "Contact Us").

  • Looking for shelf system that will work with 5th gen 8g Nano?

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a shelf stereo system with integrated iPod dock that will work with my 5th gen 8 gig Nano that I received as a gift. I've been researching this and have a found a few candidates such as the JVC UX-GN8 or UX-LP5, or the SONY CMT-BX20i. But... have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model. Anyone have one of those units, or something similar, that works? Also, is it true that the Apple Cradle ($49.99+cable) has some problems docking the 5th generation Nano in the sense that all the features are not accessible (audio, video, etc.)? Thanks for any and all responses.

    have been unable to confirm if they work with this new 5th generation model.
    If their websites do not specifically state that their product works with the *iPod Nano 5th Generation _with video,*_ its more likely their product is not compatible. You can try calling them if possible to confirm.
    Have you checked MacMall's website?

  • So i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    so i connected my ipod shuffle to my apple computer and the status light on my ipod shuffle shows that it is charging but when i look for it on the pc dock or in itunes it doesn't show it at all.... so what do I do???

    If you have not already, I would shut down (power off) your computer.  Do this to Reset your shuffle
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    Start up computer.  Run iTunes.  Connect shuffle.
    If you have added a new USB device recently (since the last time it worked properly), you may want to try disconnecting it to see if that makes any difference.

  • How to handle Packing, Frieght etc., additional charges on PO as separate lines - not looking for LCM

    Hi,
    Following is Business requirement given by client
    1.Create Item ( say item code : PACKING CHARGES ) as Purchasable only ( non-stockable )
    2.Invoice Match Option in Purchasing Tab of Item is : Receipt Required : No , Inspection Required : No
    3.Receipt Close Tolerance is : 100% in Item setup > Purchasing Tab ( Client don't want this line to appear in Receipt Screen )
    4.PO Created with two lines one is Inventory Item and second line is PACKING CHARGES
    5.As soon as PO is approved Second line got closed for Receiving , First line is the only line visible in Receipt Screen
    6.Receipt and Delivery is completed for Inventory item
    7.Invoice is entered > Matched > Validated > generate accounting entries is also successfully completed
    8.PO is still with Closure Status : Open at header level
    9.Inventory Item Closed Status is Closed , PACKING CHARGES line is still with status Ope
    Expectation is the PO Closure Status should go to Closed , since we have completed Invoice matching and account generation and there is nothing pending to be done.
    Please help.
    If you have any Test case document or document explaining similar case with accounting entries, this will be a great help.
    Regards
    Anil

    Hi Anil,
    I tried your test case here and below are my inferences.
    a) At the time of PO Creation, the packaging item selected will be close for receiving.
    b) The Item will be available for matching only if the Invoice Line type is Item, and the controls are defined as 3 Way Match Level with PO match option.
    c) Before attempting to match this line, the match level at invoice must be changed to PO.
    d) This line will not be created as a freight or packaging line, but it will be an item line type.
    These inferences point to the fact that the mapping is not correct. By the book, freight or any other misc charges are finalized only when the item is received and not at PO creation.
    Which means that the PO should have the only the item which is being procured and not the charges as separate line items.
    At the time of creation of the Invoice, while matching you have an option to check the Freight/ Miscellaneous check box, which gives you a popup to enter the value of the Freight and associated cost type.
    By adding this, system adds a new invoice line with the type freight/ misc and puts the additional amount incurred as charges there which is the correct behavior.
    Please discuss with the customer and update us based on above facts.

  • Battery not charging after dock connector replacement, iPhone4

    Hi all,
    My iPhone4 suffered mild water damage (water damage indicator not triggered) and misbehaved on that day. So I turned off the device and put it in a bag of rice for almost a month. When I eventually took it out, it was almost as good as before except for some weird quirks. One of them is the audio control. I can listen to music using headphone jack, but cannot listen through speakers. I see some corrosion on my dock charger. I am still able to connect to iTunes and charge using cables. I know my speakers works as I am able to hear the phone ring. However increasing and decreasing volume shows only the ringer icon with no bars underneath. Upon searching online I found out (in another thread on this website) that the phone could believe it is connected to some kind of docking device. I tried cleaning the dock using a brush, but no use.
    So I took some time and replaced the dock connector. After I finished re-assembly and turned on my phone, I noticed that my audio issue is resolved. I am now able to adjust volume using the buttons and can see the volume level (bars) go up or down. Also I can listen to the music from the speakers. However it is not syncing/charging.
    Logically this can mean two likely issues (1) I have a faulty dock connector (2) I messed up my battery during disassembly (The battery flex connector was too tight and while I was removing it with the plastic spudger, it popped up suddenly and caused my spudger to go in a tad too far. My flex cable did not rip off and I didnt see any broken pieces, so I assumed nothing bad happened, but I am not sure).
    If my dock connector is faulty, then my audio problem should not have been resolved correct? Because the logic board would not know that I have a new clean dock connector installed. This is what I am assuming, I am not sure. If some one could clarify this assumption, that would be great.
    Of course this leads me to believe that I messed up my battery. I don't have a spare battery to try out, need to buy one.
    Meanwhile I have a spare dock connector to try out. I am not sure if that is going to help. I am hoping someone in this community and say that it is obviously one problem or the other. If not, I will go through the dock connector replacement again and hope it all works out.
    Also does anyone know if I can just plug in the new dock connector to the logic board and try syncing (of course with the battery connected) while my phone is still open (and the other components have not been removed)? This would seem like a nice quick test prior to going through the full repair. I am not sure if this is safe.
    Thank you very much

    iPhones are not user servicable. Apple does NOT sell iPhone parts. Any parts you can possibly get for them have one of three possiblie origins:
    1) Counterfeit
    2) Stolen
    or
    3) salvaged from other iPhones, almost always phones that don't work for one reason or another.
    We can't advise you on how to fix your phone.
    Apple won't touch that phone any more.
    Either look for advice someplace like ifixit.com, find a competent repair shop, or dispose of it and buy a new phone.
    EVERY single documented case of an iPhone catching fire or exploding can be traced directly to damage caused by a botched repair by an unqualified person.
    Is it safe? No. Your phone is not safe. It will never be "safe" again.

  • New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

    So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
    First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
    Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
    One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
    And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
    That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

    congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
    Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files:  Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
    What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written)  than what you left behind. But that's your call.
    There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities  Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)  This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate  Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
    You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

  • Looking for a specific car dock... can you help?

    I'm looking for a car dock that connects directly to the cig lighter, but uses the 30-pin port for audio transmission to the 3.5mm aux jack on my stereo.  This way I could leave the dock connected to both the cig lighter and aux ports, and only need to place my iPhone in the dock to charge and play tunes (instead of hooking up to the headphone port every time as well). 
    Anyone know of such a product?  Belkin used to make one for the 3GS, but the TuneDirect for the iPhone 4 requires connecting a separate headphone cord.

    Looks like we'll have to put the miracle status on hold for a bit...that's not the article he's looking for. I've seen the same one before, and I'm pretty sure it came from Mark Spencer. He demonstrates the use of the Motion 3 "motion-tracking" tool by shrinking the head of a guy walking across a parking lot. Pretty cool tutorial and not at all the same one in the link above.
    Wish I knew where I'd seen it, but I can't recall at the moment.

  • Looking for competent docking station for iPhone 3GS

    I'm having a terrible time finding a good docking station for my new iPhone 3GS. Before I bought it I used a 5th generation iPod 60GB. I have a belkin usb hub/dock for it that works great. When my computer is off it charges the iPod, and it's a powered usb hub as well. Occasionally I would plug in an AV cable to watch content I purchased from iTunes on my TV.
    I'm now trying to find a dock with equivalent or better abilities for the iPhone 3GS, and I'm coming up empty. Here's what I need in order of importance:
    1. *Plug into AC and charge iPhone when Mac is off, while still being connected via USB so that it will sync automatically when Mac is on.*
    2. Pass through dock connector to another dock connector on back so that I can connect Apple composite cables to TV, via the dock.
    3. Powered USB hub with 2 or more usb ports.
    4. A media card reader would be a really nice plus and make it perfect.
    The closest I've found is the Griffin Simplifi, however the FAQ for it on their website states this:
    "Will the Simplifi charge my iPod or iPhone while my computer's powered off or asleep?
    Even though the Simplifi has its own power supply, your iPod or iPhone requires an active USB connection to charge. This means that the Simplifi will not charge your device if your computer is powered off or asleep."
    I'm pretty sure their explanation is technically inaccurate, and simply a way of trying to shift the blame for their stupidity on to Apple. Nevertheless it makes this dock utterly useless (see item 1 above).
    Is there any way to accomplish what I need, or is it hopeless?

    Costco was, and may still be selling, the iHome Model iD95....  I think this model is only carried by Costco.  Other retailers such as Amazon.com sell the iHome iD83 App-Enhanced 30-pin iPod/iPhone/iPad Alarm Clock Speaker Dock.  See the description of this model at Amazon.com.    Both my model and the one on Amazon.com are described as a HOME SYSTEM for your iPad.    It has a dock on the top of the AM-FM Radio which will accommodate either an iPad, iPod or iPhone (up to model 4s).  If you have an iPhone5 or newest iPad, you can get a "30 pin to lightning" adapter to accommodate.   I just got an iPhone 5, and ordered the "30 pin to Lightning" adapter, so that I can once again use my iPhone on the dock.   It has 2 alarms, and numerous other features, including a battery backup, digital display, it charges your iPad/iPod/iPhone, and it has pretty darn good stereo speakers.  It's easy to adjust the base and treble.  Price when I bought it in September, was $79.95 and there was a $20 coupon.   It is easy to program music or Pandora from an iPhone/iPod/iPad, and can even program for music or Pandora before going to sleep and shuts itself off at a specified time, and then can turn on the radio or an alarm, or music or Pandora at a specified time in the morning.   I'm happy with it.
