New speaker dock's no sync?

I noticed recently that all the iPod speaker docs to play your music thru a speaker dock stand used to have a USB sync cable connector. Looking at the new units all vendors talk about protection from the signals from the iPhone, however also mention they no longer have the sync connector. Is there something with syncing with the iPhone that is different from all other iPod devices that once the iPhone was interjected into the equation they dropped the sync option? Checked over 10 vendors and they all show the same story.
Thanks.

They are not easy to find. Here's one that will let you charge, play and sync: http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV020VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA5Mg&mco=MzM1MDk0OA&p=1& s=topSellers

  • My 2nd generation ipod touch won't play on my new speaker dock but my iphone does

    I just purchased a new speaker dock for my ipod touch but when I dock it it shows it's charging but no sound comes out of the speakers. When I dock my iphone on it, it plays fine and I know the ipod touch works because it plays on my old speaker dock.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    Many vendors when they are updating apps for iOS 5 have droped support for iOS les than 4.  It could be that the dock manufacturer is not support earlier iOSs and/or the 1G iPod.
    I went to nadelectronics.com and only found the:
    - VISO 1 which did not really say anything about compatibility.
    - NAD IPD 2 Dock which said "Compatible with all current iPods and iPhones.  The 1G with iOS 2.x may not be considerd current.

  • Tried Ipod in new speaker/dock and it's gone blank

    My Ipod was working well then I tried it on a new speaker (gear4 houseparty) and it worked perfectly for a couple of hours. Now it's gone completely blank with a grey screen, and the computer/ITunes doesn't recognise it. I've tried the five R's but it seems absolutely dead; no icons, no white screen.

    Your iPod is currently carrying very low battery level, and does not manage to get charged by connecting with your computer.
    Have a read of the following, hope you can find a way to solve it
    Until yesterday, I finally received a 4th Gen 20GB iPod (around 2 years old)from a friend and asked me whether I could fix it for him, which has been left untouched as a paper-weight for almost 2 months.
    I tried to turn it on, and the screen was completed blank and the device looked dead. Before doing anything I prepared the following:-
    1. A window based PC
    2. A Mac computer
    3. An USB iPod cable
    4. A Firewire iPod cable
    5. An iPod AC charger
    As the iPod was previously formatted on a PC, therefore I tried to plug it with a PC via USB cable, it did not response and not able to get recognized by the PC. I ejected the iPod and connected with an AC charger, after a few minutes, I did a Reset for the iPod
    How to reset iPod
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61705
    The iPod showed an Apple sign, it stuck there for almost a minute, the screen then showed a battery with an exclamation mark sign, and after a minute, the iPod turned off itself. I was sure that the iPod carried very low battery, and could not be charged by connecting it with any computer (both Mac and PC).
    I decided to let it have a charge with an AC charger for a bit longer, after 10 minute I did the Reset again, this time a sign of folder with exclamation mark showed up after the Apple sign, and again could not get recognized by a computer.
    I changed my mind, and put the iPod into disk mode
    Putting iPod into disk mode
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93651
    Instead of connecting with a PC, I plug it with my Mac using a Firewire cable, it did not response, so I switched the cable to an USB, interestingly, the iPod got recognized and a window pop up indicating that the iPod needed to do a Restore. Therefore I clicked “Restore”, after a few seconds, an Error message pop-up with Error Message 1417, the sign that I have been waiting for quite sometime.
    I ejected the iPod and the screen immediately showed a folder exclamation mark (a sign indicating a corrupted or a failure iPod OS). I am forced to put the iPod into disk mode again, connected with the Mac computer and open the Disk Utility
    1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
    2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
    3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
    4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
    5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
    6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
    It managed to complete the Restore process, and started to sync with the iTunes. However, it got stuck at the song no.238 from the total of 2000. I left it for an hour, but with no process, instead the iPod became “Hot” and the iTunes showed an Error message of 1428. I ejected the iPod from my Mac computer, the iPod’s screen turn to show the famous killer icon;“The Sad iPod“.
    This time it was totally dead, even failed to put it into Disk Mode and non of the computer could recognize it. Sigh, I hated to do it but I knew that I must did the following:-
    Holding the iPod in my Palm, and hitting it on a surface of a Sofa with 5 attempts.
    Did not surprise me, the iPod turned on and it showed the Language Menu on the screen. So, I put it into Disk Mode and connected with my window PC.
    The PC showed a sign and indicated that an USB device had been connected with it. I opened the iTunes and did a Restore there.
    However, an Error Message 50 showed up, but I were not worried about it, connected it back with my Mac computer with it in Disk Mode. As expected the iTunes opened and allowed me to do a Restore there.
    This time it managed to complete the process and a window of register pop up. After the completed the process, the iPod started to sync with the iTunes again, which finally managed to complete the process.
    I left it connecting with the AC charger overnight. In the next morning, I switched it on and have a play with it, I am so glad as it is working like a charm.
    From the above experience, I would like to share it with the user the following:-
    1. It always better to charge with an ac charger instead of the computer, as when an iPod carrying with very low battery, it may not able to get charge from a computer
    2. Try to connect the iPod with a computer, switching between USB and Firewire
    3. Try to format an iPod with HD problem, with a different kind of computer e.g. Mac or PC, as the formats are totally different, the way it formats may able to solve the bad sectors on the HD
    4. It may get better chance to get your iPod recognized, if you put it in Disk Mode
    I hope the following works in your case as I did.

  • Brand new IPOD touch does not work w Bose speaker docking station is there anything that needs to be done?. The Nano that I have works fine.

    My new Ipod touch is not working with my Bose Speaker docking station. My Nano works fine.
    Any reasons for this?

    Does Bose say it will work with your model iPod and iOS?
    Does it appear that the iPod fully seating in the dock?

  • Why has the new ipod nano no connector for a speaker dock?  The white blank at the bottom looks as if one was intended, but then there were design problems?

  • New Logitech speaker dock - does it work ok with Classic?

    I'm thinking of getting the Logitech Pure Fi Anywhere speaker dock for my Classic. This is the latest update of the Logitech ipod speaker dock. From testing I know that the previous model worked fine and didn't seem to experience any of the problems with the classic that other sound docks had. Does anyone have the Pure Fi Anywhere and can confirm that it works fine with the Ipod Classic?
    Many thanks.

    I bought it after reviewing all kinds of brands and models. This is the best for the ipod cassic, believe me. Well I guess it's too late as you poted in Nov. sorry

  • New problem connecting to a speaker dock.

    I have a Vivo speaker dock and everything was fine until today and it won't recognise my ipod. I don't think it's the speaker dock because I can plug an mp3 player into it via 3.5mm phono and that works fine. I haven't played it since the 1.13 firmware update so I suspect that is the culprit. Anyone got any suggestions please?

    I've tried a restore and that hasn't sorted it...but of course the firmware is still 1.13

  • Could I harm my new iPhone 4s trying to charge it on a iPod speaker dock?

    On my desk at work I have a Centrios iPod speaker dock/radio from Radio Shack. It also charges my iPod and I'm wondering if it might be an option to use this device to also charge my iPhone at work? I looked over the manual that came with the speaker dock and it does not mention connecting an iPhone to it. Could it do any harm by trying?

    Its funny how easy it is for people to complain about something when they dont understand the full scope of it. AT&T isnt going to spend lots of money jsut to update its servers for a launch of a phone, it jsut doesnt make sense in a busness sense. Anyways they were prepared, they hired lots of support staff to answer phone calls to tell customers to wait until the server traffic lowers. That was their cost effective solution instead of updating server capacities.

  • After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

    Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
    Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

  • Does the lightning to 30 pin adaptor work in speaker docks?

    My old 3rd Generation iPod stopped working (the round scrolling dial won't work), so I bought a new 7th generation iPod last week.  I realized I couldn't play it on my fairly low-end Memorex speaker dock, so I got one of those $30 lightning-to-30-pin adaptors.  The new iPod charges, but it won't play music in my speakers.  Is this a problem with my particular adaptor, or do those not work to play music?  I am hoping there is some kind of setting adjustment I can make...  Thanks!

    There are reports that 30-pin adapter does not work in all types of speaker docks. If it should, there should not have any trouble interfacing it with the ipod. If you are planning to get a new dock, check with the store first if it is compatible before you purchase it. Cheers!

  • New Universal Dock

    Hi there thanks for taking the time to read this, I bought the new universal dock yesterday and although music is working just fine Ive just noticed the iPod is not charging.
    I use the firewire charger from my old 4G iPod. I know sync has long gone via Firewire but charging still works. With the iPod connected directly to the FW charger it charges just fine, but nothing at all via the dock.
    Does anybody else have their 6G iPod charging through a new universal dock from the FW charger? Not sure if I have a faulty dock, or its just further gouging from Apple which they appear to be getting worse for by the month.
    Many thanks
    Gareth

    Hi WhiteKnight999 it appears its further gouging from Apple, I have since posting been forced to buy a new TV out kit which comes with a USB charger and it works just fine.
    So on top of the money for the iPod I have had to spend an extra £70 on a dock and video out solutions that I have already paid for once already.
    The dock I can forgive as it came as part of the iPods until the 5G, the crippled FW and need for new video leads is just greed however as none of the connects are any different from any iPod going back as far as the 3G (dock) and 1G headphones
    Anyhow the point of my original post was is my dock faulty to which I can answer no it is not

  • Getting daughter Nano for Xmas, is there a speaker dock that does this...

    I want to be able to use her nano to go onto a speaker dock for listening in her bedroom.
    I want this functionality though, I know the are hundreds of speaker docks..
    *To be able to play video out for connection to a TV
    *Able to navigate with a remote, through song lists etc (my dock only allows vol up/down/next/prev track)
    *FM radio
    *Clock radio/alarm
    I live in UK
    please help me find one, think the hardest thing will be the video out. I have the new dock video out cable for my iPod classic (80G) but would prefer the dock so all functions from that for her
    thanks

    Been searching all day, cant find a dock that can output video from the newer iPods (Classic, nano 4G, iPhone 3G etc) to output to TV for viewing.
    They can charge newer ones, but no video out?!?
    I know that Apple has crippled the video out and so need "special chips" to be able to output video, but surely they are going to allow 3rd party people to use these chips as well? otherwise its only going to be allowed with the cables
    please help
    cheers

  • I got new speaker system and i plug ipod in and try to play music and it wont but it will charge

    i got new speaker system and i plug ipod in and try to play music and it wont but it will charge. How do i fix

    - Make sure that the iPod is fully seated in the dock.
    - Does the manufacturer of the dock say it will work with your specific model iPod touch and its iOS? Not all dock work with all models and iOSs. Users have reported that when the updated the iOS on their iPod and broke compatibility.

  • Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony speaker dock

    Why won't my ipod touch gen 5 play audio on my Sony RDP-X30iP speaker dock. I have bought a lightning adapter and find that there is no audio from the speaker dock and the dock does not charge the ipod.

    - Reset the dock
    - Go to Sony's support site and check to see if they say it will work with a 5G iPod touch (w/adopter).
    Also look for a firmware update.
    Sometimes this works:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Or, it just may not be compatible.
