No audio from my docking stations any longer

My iPod Touch (~2 years old) will no longer play audio from my two docks. This problem may have started after the latest update, but I don't recall. (I don't recall if the problem w/ the first dock occurred prior to the update or after.) When I place it on the docks, it gets power (starts charging) but won't play any audio. It just plays music through the internal speaker. It has worked on both for the past two years. Any ideas?
Worst case, does anyone know how I can upload the OS version before the last update to see if that fixes it?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it seems like iOS 5 and/or 5.0.1 makes the docks form some manufacturer's incompatible. Have you checked the dock's support site? Only solution is to waid for a firmware update from either Apple or the dock manufacturer.

IPod freezes when playing from a docking station...Any ideas about a fix?

I have had my current iPod for a couple of years now, and until recently it has worked flawlessly. Over the past couple of months a problem has develoed when I play my iPod from a docking station. When I play the iPod from it's cradle (connected to my HK Soundsticks) or from my JBL Speaker Base, the iPod plays fine for the first few songs. After a few songs, the iPod stops in the middle of song and skips to the next song, then skips three of four times without playing at all and utltimately locks up completely. The problem seems to arise when I am simultaneously playing and charging.
Any ideas?
I am using a 40mb, clickwheel, iPod.

All I can suggest is to re-encode the video as m4v with QT Pro, there might've been a problem in encoding. Also, try sending this same video (setting TV Out to Yes) with the iPod not plugged into the dock and with an Apple RCA cable, if you have one, hooked up to a TV. If that works, the dock connector might be damaged (unlikely) but it's possible. So once you've re-encoded, see if the dock situation works then. Good luck.

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1

APPLE DOCKING STATION NO LONGER WORKS WITH TOUCH 3G and 4G after ios 4.2.1 update.
I have both of these touches. I updated both 3g and 4g to ios 4.2.1 and poof...no docking station support other than charging, no audio and no remote function. My av/cable works with the tv, and the headphone jack still outputs audio, just no auido through the Apple dock and hte remote is dead. I purchased the dock from the apple store last year and it was working with both ipod 3g and 4g grrrrr...
Is Apple now in the bug trade business?, trade one for another....
Anyone else have this problem?

My iPod Touch 3G running 4.2.1 works fine with the Apple docking station.
Perhaps you have a loose cable somewhere and/or a dead battery in your controller?

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.

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.
Solved!

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.

Since updating our iPhone to 6.1.4 we have been unable to play it through our Bose docking station - any ideas?

But you can send an e-mail without an attachment OK?
If you can, have the admins take a look at the ActiveSync logs. Something's definitely not right. I can't imagine what it would be on the phone, though assuming the Exchange account is set up the same on all of the devices.

No Audio from iPod dock

iPod Touch model PC547C with 6.0.1 (10A523) firmware. TDM-iP50 docking station connected to STR-DH100 receiver. Using earlier iPod firmware, everything worked as expected. Currently, the iPod will power up when the receiver is powered up and it will charge but the remote has no effect and there is no audio through the receiver. The iPod works fine on it's own. Suggestions?

Hello Ray,
Welcome to the Sony Community.
We are investigating if any updates are required for our products to work with iPod Touch installed with the latest firmware update. You may also contact Apple support to see if they have a resolution from their side on compatibility.
If my post answers your question, please mark it as an "Accepted Solution."
Thank you for your post.

Charging an ipod nanno from a docking station

Charging an ipod nanno from a docking station

Once the battery is charged, I don't think there is any extra heat because it is in a Docking Station. It would be the same as connecting it directly to the docking cable and playing it continuously. Playing it continuously will no doubt wear it out faster than playing it a few hours per day, but the fact that it was in a Docking Station should not make any difference.
Actually, if you have it in a Docking Station all the time, it will probably last longer than an iPod that is being carried and jostled constantly, because it is stationary. iPod's are much more likely to break from being dropped or bumped a few too many times than from constant use.

How to undock Thinkpad Yoga from Onelink Docking station?

I used the search but I couldn't find the answer to my problem, so here it is:
I've got a Thinkpad Yoga and a Onelink Docking station but I can't figure out how to safely hot undock.
I cannot find any option to undock and just ripping of the onelink cable doesn't feel to be quite safe ?!?
Thanx for your help.

Welcome to the forum!
Even if it were physically possible, you wouldn't be able to use both Ethernet ports at the same time, because the motherboard doesn't support more than one connection at the time.

No sound from xb4 Docking Station

Using the HP Entertainment PC with the xb4 Media Docking Station. Can not get the mute button to turn off on the docking station. It will control the notebook volume and mute buttons, but will not turn it off on the station. The notebook sounds great until it is plugged into the station, and it becomes silent. No sound coming from the speakers at all. Purchased the entire package 4 months ago, talked with hp tech. support for several hours, and just received the third docking station today yet I'm still having the same problem. The second docking station worked great for about 2 months, then the computer was disconnected and once the computer was reconnected the problem emerged. The first and third stations had the problem from the first connection. The only thing plugged into the station is the power adapter.
Please if anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated!!

I do suffer the same pain, i just received the (XB4) replacement from Hp, because I've been having the same problem, and after hours with tech support finally they agree to send it!!! and guess what...... the same old history, no sound come out, the funny thing is that my wife has one xb4 too, and we had been doing all kind of trouble shooting tests and my wife's docking st. works perfect, now I can't express my how far my frustration has reached.
Anyway I do recommend to send your Docking Station + Replacement Docking Station and get your Money back or exchange it for some other product, because I really and strongly believe that my time is more important and valuable than dealing with this kind of issues where i paid for a quality product and it results not to be, and/plus uses my time in order to figure out how to fix it (i don't think so!!!).
This is a Bad one Hp, i like your products, but this one really got me out my nerves.
Have a nice day, and hope to hear something helpful from HP soon

Bose docking station no longer works with software update

Has anyone figured out how to get their iPod to play music through their Bose docking station after the latest software update?

- Some users have reported similar problems after updating the iOS. I do not remember if it was for the Bose. You can look at the previous podiscussions on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This".
You can also use the communities search box in the upright and search for: bose.
- Have you contacted Bose or went to their support site?
- f I recall, some accessores worked after reseting the iPod:
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.
Sometime a restore did it too. For some, nothing helped.

DOCKING STATION NO LONGER SUPPORTED since 7.06

I think people can be forgiven that Apple have a secret agenda when things like this happen.
OK my Logitek Dock and player didn't cost hundreds and hundreds but cost enough and now both my I-Phone 4S and Ipad2 will not play music. I am getting the message " THIS IPHONE/IPAD DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS DEVICE". I am dreading connecting my phones to the Mercedes Benz A20 sound system using the IM interface because I suspect that may not work either.
Anyone else having this problem and are there any fixes?

I am not totally sure from which version I jumped to and to be honest, its irrelevant.
The update notification on the Iphone flagged up the other day on the settings icon as normal but the Ipad didn't. I got it to search and the 7.06 became available. Only a few days ago I was using the Logitek dock ok.
To be honest with you, I am finding these 'restrictions' rather annoying. A perfectly good piece of equipment is now useless apart from charging.
Why restrict one type of dock and not another? Mine has no connection to the internet, it has no security issues it just charges and plays music so why in heavens name is it no longer supported?
This seems like selective hardware brand discrimination. I noticed it happen on a Bose dock at a hotel but my Mercedes SLK still works with the IM lead today.
Is it because its an Ipad 2 and a 4S with the 'old' connectors and its a clumsy marketing attempt to get me to upgrade to the new Ipad and Iphone and lightning socket? Pffft.
Dream on! I will upgrade my hardware when *I* wish, not when Apple says so. If everything becomes unusuable, I will go Android.
This sort of behaviour will as time goes just decrease Apples's share price even further. Their fantastic attempt to replace Google maps is a typical example.
One of these days a miracle either soon or far in the future, will happen that will be akin to the invention of the wheel and the invention of money.
It will revolutionise the retail world and the financial markets.
It will be when the retailer/manufacturere gives the customer exactly what they want.
Beware, Bill Gates and Balman found this out to their cost and Microsoft will NEVER recover.
What in Heaven's name is going on why cant people just leave things as they are?

Nano -no sound from Bose docking station

My nano plays sound thru headphones but there is no soung when used on Bose station.It is not the station as I have another nano which plays on it. I have sent the problematic nano back to apple but they found no fault.Ant ideas?

I have tried just now, and my Nano works too.
Have you rechecked the volume limit on your Nano?
The docking of iPod is a two ways traffic, manages to get charge does not mean it can transmit the audio signal from your Nano to your Bose, that why I asked you whether you can play your Nano via connecting with your computer.

Cannot download files from services like Rapidgator any longer

Use Firefox as my browser. High speed connection via Comcast on a 1-year old HP laptop running Windows-7, protected by Kaspersky.
This just started yesterday afternoon - when trying to "Download" a File from services like RAPIDGATOR
when I hit the "Download" button it just goes to "Searching" and the file never opens. This is also happening with other file services I subscribe to. I have already deleted my "History" and "Cookies" and it did not help. Also tried to download with Kaspersky turned off, that did not help.
any ideas?

We are experiencing some proxy issues, this bump should be cleared up shortly with version 18.0.1 to land.
Thank You!
