My ipod doesn't fit on my dock

i have just bought the ipod nano 7generation and it doesn't fit on my dock because my dock has a 30 pin connector and my ipod has a lightning connector.
my dock cost over fifty pounds and i don't want to by a new one. i know there is a 30 pin to lightning adapter but it just looks stupid on my dock. any help would be great on how i can deal with this problem.

Hold down the Control-key and use your Mouse/Trackpad to scroll down at the same time.
Go to System Prfeferences the Universal Access and disable the "Zoom"-feature.
Zoom can come up when you used the Control-key plus Mouse/trackpad-scroll up.
The Zoom feature itself is enabled/disabled by Alt-Command-8
When enabled: Alt-Command-= zooms in and Alt-Command- - zooms out.
Quite often around here there are cats involved

Ipod doesn't fit into dock.....

Hi,
My daughter just bought herself an 4GB Ipod Nano. She tried to connect the ipod to her dock but the ipod doesn't line up with the connection.
There seems to be an adapter for the dock to make the slot bigger, which does fit the ipod, but we can't get this to fit into the dock either.
The instructions don't tell you what to do, nor does anything on Apples web site....these are all Apple accessories and came with the ipod.
Can someone please help?
Thanks
Lynn

The dock is the Ipod Dock
There are three iPod docks. Actually, there are more than that.
You can only use the iPod Universal dock or the 2G iPod Nano dock.
The adapter that comes with the iPod fits in the Universal dock.
The iPod will ONLY fit one way. If it does not fit, you have the wrong dock.
The USB cable plugsd into your computer and then the back of the dock. You put your iPod in as shown below.
This is the iPod 2G Nano dock.

New ipod nano doesn't fit new ipod hifi

I just bought a new 4 meg ipod nano and apple ipod hifi from the London Apple Store. The ipod nano doesn't fit in its adapter. Anyone know of this problem? I'm gobsmacked that Apple's quality control let this happen!
Thanks

The page
http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html
clearly says:
In the box:
* iPod nano
* Earphones
* USB 2.0 cable
* Dock adapter
* Quick Start guide
If the dock adapter is missing, which is what you need, because the iPod Hi-Fi only ships with an adapter for the 1st-gen iPod nano, then you need to contact Apple or your retailer.

Ipod touch USB doesn't fit

I just got a new 32 GB ipod touch but the ipod side of the wire doesn't fit. I'm not really sure why this would be happening and does anyone have any ideas?

Are you saying that for the supplied 30-pin one end USB other end cable, the 30-pin cable end does not correctly fit into the iPod? Make sure the writing on the 30-pin end is o the same side of the display. Also, look at the receptacle in the ipod for bent pins or foreign mater and that the cable end looks OK too. If it still does not connect correctly I would make an appointment at the Genius bar of your local Apple Store or call Apple.

Dock station just doesn't fit!

Got my iPhone yesterday and connected my dock station, BUT my phone just doesn't fit very well and I have to hold the phone in quite firm to get it charging! Tried my bossess docking station and the same with his. (and yes we have the correct docking station). Sure I can just use the cable instead but why pay good money for a docking station that you can't use...right?
Does anyone have a solution...am I missing something? Seems odd that both my boss and I have the same issue?

If you have an Apple docking station designed for the iPhone 4, you don't have to worry about inserts. If on the other hand, you have a 3rd party docking station you may have inserts. Some manufacturers make docking stations that will work with any iPhone and will provide various inserts for the different iPhone models. The inserts allow the different iPhone models to fit in dock properly.

I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo. I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock. Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal). However, I just created my own solution. The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection. Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit. It's a no-tech solution, and free!

Why doesn't my 160GB ipod charge using my white universal dock?

The remote works just fine. I have two of the (older) white universal docks and the ipod doesn't charge with either. Am I supposed to buy a new, metal colour more 'universal' dock?

Contact the dock vendor. Only they would know if their product is compatible.

My new iPod Classic doesn't 'wake' when my docking station switches on (alarm setting)

My new iPod Classic doesn't 'wake' when my docking station switches on (alarm setting).
My old iPod Classic never ever let me down, and I used it in the docking station every working day for two years.
But this new iPod Classic has let me down three times just this week!
Any clues?

While the iPod is connected to your iTunes, look (in iTunes) on the Device/Podcasts pane (tab) and make sure the Sync Podcasts option has been selected (there should be a tick in the box).

Cable doesn't fit into back USB ports

My front USB port isn't working...everytime I plug a cable into it I get a message that reads "Power Surge on Hub Port" and it won't connect. My ports in the back are functioning, but I cannot connect my iPOd into them because the cord doesn't fit. Is there something I can buy (like a mini extension cord) that will connect them?
Please help I am so frustrated. thanks!

thanks so much for your help...
I'm using a Dell Computer (it has Optiplex GX270 written on it) with Windows XP. If you need more info just tell me where to find it.
Even when I plug in a USB cable (one that isn't connected to a device), the message still appears. The iPod connector does fit in the front, but not the back ones. I know the back ones work because I plugged a camera into one in the back and it worked, (it didn't in the front).
I would just use the back ports for my iPod too but the cable is a little different and won't work. I think there is excessive plastic on the connector?

IPod Classic problem with BeoSound 8 Dock

We bought a Beosound 8 yesterday. The sound is wonderful, but it only works properly with my iPhone. My iPod (Classic 80GB) menu can't be accessed - the screen and 'click wheel' appear to be locked, with the display showing "OK to disconnect". The only way I can get the music to play is to select the desired album/track before docking the iPod, which rather defeats the object. The iPod works fine when not connected to the BeoSound. I've tried re-setting the iPod but that doesn't seem to change anything. The iPod software is up to date. Please can anybody help?

I didn't respond to your first post because I wasn't sure that I could give you any useful information. However, since you have posted again and have yet to receive any reply, I thought I would chip in.
You can confirm the software version on the iPod by either of the following methods:
1. On the iPod, go to Settings/About and when the "amount used" bar shows, press the centre button twice to move to the screen that shows the serial number, model and version.
2. Connect the iPod to iTunes and look at the Summary screen which will show you the *Software version.*
However, you need to be aware of the following; my 160GB Classic has *1.1.2 for PC* on it and is up to date. As far as I can tell (and I'm not expert at this) the Software 2.0.2 and later is only for iPod classic 160GB _*(Late 2009).*_ So for example, my iPod's software "is up to date" because it has the latest version _for my model,_ which is older than "late 2009". Likewise, I'm not convinced that your iPod will have 2.0.4 on it because it isn't for the 80GB Classic. If anyone knows differently, I suggest they add to this thread and let us know.
So that begs the question "are B&O correct to imply that your 80GB iPod can have that software?" If they are not, and their Beosound only likes iPods with that software, perhaps that's why your iPod doesn't work correctly - because B&O have got it wrong. (It's not impossible! I've seen one car stereo that the vehicle manufacturer claims to be iPod friendly, but it isn't. I tried using it and found it complete rubbish.)
Anyway, back to your situation: once you start the iPod playing, if you then connect it to the B&O, does it continue to play the rest of the tracks that you expect it to? For instance, if I connect my iPod Classic to my car's stereo, I start it playing the section I want (usually all songs on shuffle) and just let it do its thing. I can skip to the next track and back to the beginning of the "now playing" track, but I cannot use the playlists (despite instructions suggesting that I can) nor can I access the menus or change to a different selection (such as changing from one genre to another or one album to another.)
So I've got used to this quirk and simply decide what I'm going to listen to, start it playing and then connect it up.
By the way, when your iPod is coneected to iTunes, there is a button to check for software updates. I've not known it to be wrong.

See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?

Ipod not recognize by iPod Hifi, neither by Bose Sound dock... seems ok

Hi, I'm facing a strange pb with my iPod 5th gen late 2006. It works very well with iTunes and in my car (on a Dension system), but my iPod Hi-Fi did not recognize the ipod, neither a Bose Sound dockstation. I also check with an iPod Hifi at a mac reseller, but it still didn't work.
It doesn't seems to be a hardware pb because the iPod works well on my card (dock connector) and with my Mac (connected with a usb cable).
I wonder what is wrong with my ipod. Oh, I also have an iPod Touch that works very well on both the iPod hifi and the Bose station..
Any help will be appreciated (i already have tried to reset/restore settings...)
ipod firmware :1.3

Hum... I just found that post : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10224759&#10224759
Seems a firewire/usb issue... may be not the same... In my case the ipod 5th gen late 2006 won't chare n apple Hifi and BoseSoundDock AND it will not play music!
But I will give a try with a power adaptor, mayb the sound is not started because the device did not recognize my pod because of a charge problem..
