Old Apple Dock??

I have an old Apple iPod dock. I think it is "iPod Dock M9602G/A" from the 4th generation b&w click-wheel.
When I plug the iPhone into it I get the message "This accessory is not made to work with iPhone." Engadget says it works fine and that the message is to turn off the wireless so it doesn't interfere with the audio playing out of it (if you do that, which I don't).
Anyway, MY question is if the adapters you can find on the Apple Store will fit this particular dock or if there is a different dock (Universal Dock?) that those only work with. As it stands, the iPhone will connect, but there isn't physical support for it so there is too much stress on the connector. Anybody with first-hand experience on this?

The adapters fit the universal dock, not the older ipod docks.

  • Old Apple dock and composite AV cables

    My old iPod with Color display (circa 2005) recently died, so I'm getting a new iPod Touch 4G.
    the old iPod could display pictures on the TV as well as play music. I had it in an old style genuine Apple dock and used a genuine Apple Composite AV cable to connect the dock and my home entertainment system so I could show the pictures on the TV and play music through my surround sound system. That old Apple AV cable did not connect through the dock connector but is connected to the dock through a headphone like 3.5mm plug. That old Dock also has an S-Video out
    All the original stuff was bought years ago when I made good money... but I lost my job over a year and half ago and just got another after being out of work that long that pays significantly less than I used to make ...
    As my old iPod died, after living on shoestring budget so long with NO frills, even though money is still tight, I decided to give myself a gift for the holidays and replace it with a Touch.
    I knew i would have to replace my old Apple Firewire chargers (I have 2) and my old 3rd party firewire car charger (in the car I had a line out cable from dock connector as well which I connected to a cassette adaptor for my 9 year old car)..
    But figured I could find USB chargers cheaply and could still use the old dock and AV cables (as those were - and still are- outrageously expensive)...
    But I've started reading things which I think are saying is that I might not be use my old Apple Dock, and Apple Composite AV cables which is making me nervous.
    So ... can I use the old Apple Dock and AV cables for video with the 4g Touch????
    There should be no TECHNICAL reason for it not to work... but maybe Apple has gotten a bit more greedy...
    If it does not work for video, will at least the audio part of the cable connected to that dock and the s-video out work? I can make that work with what I already have to get audio and video.
    If not then I need a lot more new stuff I can't really afford... and will be very very disappointed and angry with Apple... There is no good reason those things should stop working other than purposely sabotaging them to make me have to buy new over priced accessories! I PAYED my apple tax on those already!
    Thanks for any info...

    Apparently there are at least 3 different Dock model numbers.
    The Model number is the most important and can be found on the bottom of the dock.
    The part numbers may change due to several things like boxing an AV cable with or without a wall charger. You would probably get the same cable but the part number on the box would be different due to possible other contents inside the box.
    1. *iPod Photo Dock* Part# M9868G/A, Model# ?????
    with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
    2. *iPod Universal Dock* Part# MA045G/A, *Model# A1153*
    with iPod AV Cable or S-Video cable Part# M8765G/A
    3. *Apple Universal Dock* Part# MC746LL/A, Model# ?????
    with Apple Composite AV Cable Part# MC748AM/A
    or Apple Component AV Cable Part# MC917ZM/A
    I had both items in #2 above. I still have the iPod Universal Dock and it came in its own box.
    No remote, No cable(s), but did come with 5 dock adapters.
    I never tried my iPod Touch through the Dock to the TV. I did try the iPod Touch using the older iPod AV Cable to the TV but that did not work and the link above tells us it doesn't. That's why I bought the newer Composite Cable which does work when directly connected to the TV and the iPod Touch.
    I gave my older cable away to a friend so I can't test if it would work like the document says or not but like you said, in theory, it should work.
    According to the document given above and below, the iPod Touch should work with your Dock you have now even though it doesn't list the 4th generation. (I don't think they have updated this yet)

    If you buy a new iPod Touch 4th generation, then I guess the only way you will know for sure is to try it out and let us know here.

  • IPhone 3G intermittently not compatible with Apple Dock / Component Video

    I purchased a new Apple Dock and Component Video cable for my 3G. Both original Apple parts.
    On the first day it all worked perfectly. Now it seems I have a 50/50 chance of getting the "this device not compatible with iPhone - switch to airplane mode" dialog when I place the iPhone in the dock. This is about a week old now.
    Anyone else seen this? I haven't noticed any pattern. Frustratingly random.
    Same thing happens with my JBL On Stage IIIP dock (supposed to be compatible) - I just thought it was because it was 3rd-party junk but apparently not.

    bpezza,
    The iPhone Bluetooth Headset packaging has been updated to not include a Dual-dock, and the suggeested retail price updated to $99.
    The travel cable does work with the iPhone 3G and original iPhone.
    Here is more information on the current Apple iPhone Bluetooth Headset:

  • 3G and old iPhone docks

    I noted that I cannot put the new 3G into my old iPhone dock. Does anyone know why the difference? The phone dimension are very similar! In addition to getting a new phone, I will have to get new docks for the car charger, car stereo and office. Bummer!!!

    Jorge is right. I tried to put mine in the old iPhone dock and the only thing keeping it from fitting in is the curved back of the new phone, whereas the old one was flat. The official iPhone 3G dock is available on Apple's online store..but it is 30 bucks....kind of price-y for a dock that should have been free.
    EDIT: Here's the link

    I'm going to have to buy it because I can't live without a dock....

  • I have an old apple ID that is associated with an email I can no longer access, but over half of my apps are associated with this Apple ID. Any idea on how to reset the apps to go with my newer Apple ID without completely wiping my iPhone?

    I have an iPhone 4s. The email I need to use is completely locked because Windows believed someone else was trying to use my account (another reason Windows and I don't seem to get along). Anyway, I think my little sister may have accidentally clicked "Forgot my Password" while trying to download an app on my iPad that was under the same ID. So, an email was sent to my old hotmail account that is lockedried unlocking it, but the alternate email that was listed was an old one of my moms and she can't remember what her username was. I tried answering security questions on my Apple ID to maybe get my password to reset that way, but - since I made this account when I was about 12 or 13 - I can't even begin to remember what the answers to the security questions are. (And before anyone gets on a pedestal about how I was too young to be doing something like this, I did have parent supervision and wanted something like this of my own, so lets stick to the ACTUAL problem). So, main problem here. I now have about 30 app updates that are under an account I basically have no access to. I've deleted the apps from my home screen and tried downloading them with my new Apple ID, but it shows as if it's stored in the cloud and will only let me download it from the old Apple ID. Is there any possible way to dissociate my apps from my old ID and associate them with my newer one WITHOUT completely resetting my phone?

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • How can I use the old Apple TV with new iTunes?  It tells me to input a code in iTunes but iTunes no longer has a spot to input this code to allow sync.  I can access the iTunes Store fine, just none of my Library

    ChrisJ4203,
    Thank you for the help.  Every app on my phone was downloaded using my old I-tunes ID.  I just hope that they will re-download under my new ID because I still can't change it on my phone.  In order to change to the new ID it says I have to sign out from the old ID and change to the new one.  My problem is that I don't remember my password to be able to sign out from my old ID.  Then the phone says it can change my password through e-mail and I  agree but I never get an e-mail at my old address or the new one.

  • I have an older generation of Ipod and I am trying to upload all my songs from my old Ipod to my new Itunes account. How can I change my old Apple ID to my new one so I can keep all my songs without having to buy or hunt for them all over again?

    Please help I am having the hardest time trying to get all my songs on to one account to make my life easier, but my Ipod is registered under an old apple account and I want to change it so all my old songs go onto my new apple ID. Any suggestions, please help?

    Sorry meffie, you cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. Are the songs under the old ID all purchased via iTunes?
    If so, then sign onto the iTunes on the computer with your old ID and Authorize the computer for that Apple ID: Store on the top menu, then click on Authorize This Computer.
    Once it is Authorized, you can then go to the iTunes Store and under Quick Links on the right-hand side, click on Purchased. Then click on Music, Songs, Not In this Library, and you should be able to see all of your purchased music, which you can download to your iTunes library individually by clicking on the cloud next to the song, or you can click on Download All at the bottom of the screen to download all of the tunes.
    Cheers,

  • How can I change my old Apple ID? I have a new one created but can't deleted the old one it's gray and u can't tap on it?

    I'm able to use the new one even tho the old one is there? But can't delete the old one because it's frayed out n can't tap on it to change it to the new one

    You will need to use that old Apple ID and password to update any apps you purchased using that account. So you will either need to recover that Apple ID, which if you forgot the password you should be able to reset here:

    or you will need to delete all those apps and repurchase them using your current Apple ID.

  • How can I transfer my old Apple ID purchases into new one?

    Dear All,
    Recently I decided to change my email address for some security reasons. Now I need to change my apple ID but there is a problem:
    I have purchased a lot of things by my ID  ( OSX as well as iTunes) and really don't want to pay for them again.
    Here is the question: How can I transfer all those purchases to the new ID and how can I close ( deactivate) that old Apple ID ?
    Thanks

    You can't. Apple will not merge IDs and Apple will not move content from one ID to another.
    There is no need for a new ID, just change the primary email address in the current ID and change your password if you are concerned about security.

  • My old Apple Id can no longer be accessed due to my original e-mail being locked out. How can I switch Apple ID's without access to the one my phone continues to use?

    My old hotmail account which has my old Apple ID (which is still connected to my phone) has been locked out. I have forgot the password to my original Apple ID and a recovery cannot be sent to my old account due to me not being locked out (believe someone has hacked it). I have set up a new Apple ID with a seperate e mail adress, however I cannot use the App Store because of my phone only recognizing the original e-mail I can no longer acess. Please help.

    Contact the Apple account security team for your country and ask for assistance resetting the password: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security.

  • I want to activate my old apple id in my iphone ?how to do it please replay me  quickly?

    Activate old apple id on iphone 4s

    If the account is disabled then you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Old Apple ID used to sign in for App Store

    My iPhone 5s will not let me update any of my Apps because it's asking for an old Apple ID.  I can't remember that password.  I have a new Apple ID that I have set up under General for everything, including the App store.
    I deleted that app that was purchased using the old Apple ID, but I still can't update the Apps.  When you open the App Store, and scroll down to Favorites , the NEW ID is listed  but it still wants the OLD ID to update Apps.
    I logged into ALL of my Apple IDs (my phone, husband's phone, kids' iPod, and the iPad) and made sure the Old ID was not listed anywhere.  It's not.
    How can I get rid of the OLD Apple ID and sign in using the NEW ID for updates?
    Thanks!

    The mistake was creating a new Apple ID, rather than changing the email address on the old one, or recovering the password for the old one. If you had done either of these there would be no problem with the apps acquired using the old ID, as the apps are associated with the account, not the email address that you used at the time you got them.
