No longer can play though docking stations.

I have two compatible docking stations, a Bose portable and a shoe to connect to our built in home system. Always worked fine on both until today. This device still running on os version 4.3.3, so recent upgrade of os is not the culprit. Suspect something wrong in the connection. In both cases the IPod touch recognizes it's connected to a docking station and starts to charge, but it continues to play music through it's little inboard speaker instead of connecting to big speakers through the docking station.
Any help?
Thanks.

- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Does the iPod play OK throiugh the headphone jack? If yes then sometimes this works
Try:
- 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.
If it does not play through the headphone jack
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    Hello ..do you have a history on the phone? did you get it wet? was it dropped? have you been using an authentic ORIGINAL apple charging cable?
    this problem occurs when there is a short circuit  in the phone... you  most likely got  it wet at some point and maybe didnt even realize it? The moisture in the phone hasb probablly  oxidized one or several capacitors, integrated chips thereby short circuiting the phone. that is why he phone  is acting erratic because these short circuits inadvertently "activates" other circuits.. eventually the phone will not turn on anymore- the heat will stress the citcuit board and you will have discontinuity along your main power lines and the phone will cease to function..i see this alllll the time in our shop
    the fact you upgraded to ios6 will even work the phone harder because its a more powerful operating system taking full advantage of the A4 chip..

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • HELP... iPod 5th gen wont play on docking station

    We have 2 iPod 4th gen nano's and both play perfectly well on the docking stations, one being great quality one. The 5th gen nano plays but only with internal speakers even tho connected to docking station....Help.

    Did you ever get it to work or does anyone know a reasonably priced docking station that is compatible? I got an Ipod Nano 5G for Christmas. Followed all the instructions and trouble shooting with the same problem. Plays great on the ear buds, but only get scratchy internal speaker when placed on a docking station. I ended up exchanging the ipod. The new one does the same thing. I bought an iHome H10 that is supposed to be compatible, so I assumed it was the Ipod. Im really disappointed in this. The benefit of Apple is the easy transition and compatibility. You shouldn't have to test a hundred docking stations to get one to play an ipod.

  • Hoping Someone Can Solve my Docking Station Woes

    I have a Latitude E6410 laptop, with the Dell branded docking station. Although it does work, there are some problems I'd like to figure out, namely finding a way to get the screens to switch automatically when docking and undocking. I imagine I can use udev for this, but have no idea how.
    When I dock, this command switches the screens appropriately:
    xrandr --output DP1 --off --output HDMI1 --auto
    When undocking, I just do the opposite:
    xrandr --output HDMI1 --off --output DP1 --auto
    I would prefer if there was a way I could have this happen automatically. Has anyone done this before?

    I apologize and feel silly for not knowing this, but how do I find out if it creates an event?

  • IPod touch has stopped playing through docking station, please help

    Please help, my ipod touch has stopped playing through my docking station, what should I do?

    Undock the Touch, get a flashlight and inspect the docking connector. Clear any dust/debris you find. Do the same on your docking station.

  • Changed account name and old music files no longer can play

    I changed my account name to an e-mail address that I currently use. since I moved the old one I could no longer access any longer. Well they have a feature to do that so I took it so it would be easier to remember the account and password. thing is since I changed none of the songs that I purchased with the old account name can be played any longer. they need to be Reauthorized.
    No biggie right just type in the old account name and password and I'll be on my way. Wrong :P
    According to the music store the old account does not exist. Well of course not that is because I changed it. I check to see my account history under the NEW account and it has all the files I ever downloaded since I first installed iTunes! If this is the case why on earth can I not play the files purchased under my old account under the new accounts name! did I make a mistake by not deauthroizing my computer before changing account? because it is not mentioned in the instructions to do so! Grrr... normally I'd just say oh well but it's most of my iTunes library!
    Pleas help!

    Problem Resolved!
    I was sent back an e-mail stating that I did not make a second account but changed my account name from (accounts will be withheld for security) one to the other. Problem?
    Files downloaded from the other account name would not work with the one that I was currently using.
    Issues further complicating the matter. My computer recently was having Power supply issues and I reformated my computer several times. Not realizing that this left iTunes Music store saying that I had 5 computers authorized on my account because I had not deauthorized any of the computers each time. Couldn't really, windows crashed out and I couldn't get to it. So when I got everything ironed out on my computer. I couldn't play any of my songs becaus I had reached maximum authorizations! even Deauthorizing and reauthorizing didn't work.
    Solution:: Login to your (working) account and go to your account summary. Click on the button that says "Deauthorize ALL computers" This will wipe all computers that you had associated with your account to play your songs. Not that big of deal because all you have to do is log back in. (BIG deal to ppl that don't know your password, which they shouldn't be playing yoru songs anyway!)
    Once I resetted my authorization on all computers and logged back in everything was fine.
    Now I think the tech that sent me the e-mail did do one thing for me. He must have enabled my old account I used to have and linked it to my current one. Because instead of my old account saying it does not exist it says it works now! yet I still login to and access my account with my new e-mail account!
    So even though I would like to say everything was within my power to do myself the whole time. That is not the case. The tech did help me associate the two accounts from withing iTunes. So I can now listen to my songs at anytime I want and not be told I have 5+ computers when I only own 2 LOL

  • Where Can I Find Compatible Docking Station for Lenovo G780

    Hi representative,
    I have a lenovo G780 laptop and I am looking for a docking station that matches the G780. The model name is 2182,
    I have searched the lenovo shop but I cannot find any docking station that matches. Could you please help me find which docking station model that works for my G780 and where I can buy that docking station.
    Thanks for your help.

    As far as I know there is no custom-designed docking station for the G780. Instead, consider a port replicator like Lenovo USB 3.0 Port Replicator. It connects to your G780 using a single USB port so it's almost as convenient as a docking station.

  • No music on ipod but in disk mode I can play the files from the ipod

    My company now requires our laptops to be encrypted. So we have this Utimaco Safeware stuff installed. Ever since it was installed my ipod no longer can play music. Odd thing is I can put the ipod into enable disk use and the songs are there and I can play them in quicktime. After I disconnnect the ipod the ipod tells me there is no music.

    If the files were placed on the iPod outside of iTunes or another iPod manager, the iPod will not recognize them as songs. Those transferred to the iPod through iTunes will not normally be visible as files on it.

  • Are there any docking stations for the iPhone 5?

    Bose, Phillips, Sony...don't seem to make units with the lightning connector.

    You have to buy "Lightning to 30 pin adapter" so iPhone 5 can fit on docking stations that works with older versions of iPhone, available from online Apple Store for $29. Maybe can get it from other places like WalMart or Amazon, etc.

    Hi Adam
    I have answered your first question about Portg docking station.
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=17291
    There you will find the link to the Options and Accessories site.
    On this Toshiba site you will be able to find the compatible and supported devices.
    If your notebook supports a slot at the bottom for a connection to the port replicator so you can use the docking station or port replicator as a additional device.
