Play iPhone thru my PC (via Universal Dock)

- I purchased an Apple universal Dock and connected my iPhone 3G with OS 4.2.1 to my PC. I've seen an occasional "this device is not supported" warning when I placed the iPhone in the dock, but this alert does not always appear.
- I am trying to play songs from my iPhone through my PC. I haven't done this before, but used iTunes on my PC, but wanted to try the phone since the dock comes with a nifty remote.
- The remote works fine, but the music is played through the iPhone speaker. Not the best fidelity.
- Please tell me if there is some way to configure my iPhone or PC so that, when the iPhone is connected to the PC via the universal dock, songs played using iTunes ON THE PHONE are played through my PC.
Thanks.

There is no way, the iPhone does not use disk mode so iTunes on your PC cannot access the library on the phone.

  • IPhone doesn't work with Universal Dock remote?

    Hello,
    I received an Apple Universal Dock with remote for Christmas, and I'm pretty sure I remember it and the remote working just fine with my iPhone when I first set it up. Today, I tried using it again, and found that I can't use the Universal Dock's remote for anything other than controlling the volume, and even though I can raise or lower the volume with the remote, the volume change is not reflected on my iPhone's screen - the iPhone's ipod volume indicator doesn't move.
    The Universal Dock and remote work just fine with my wife's second generation nano, and the iPhone works without any problems when docked into a Logitech mm50 speaker system - the mm50's remote is able to jump forward and backwards through songs, pause, play, etc. The problem seems limited to the combination of my iPhone and the Universal Dock and remote.
    Is this normal? According to the Universal Dock's package and documentation, it is compatible with the iPhone and doesn't mention anything about the remote having limited capabilities when used with the iPhone.
    If this isn't normal, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
    thanks in advance and best regards,
    tom

    i just bought this dock as a car dock. I have it hooked up to power 12v and output to 1/8 into head unit. Now, I have to be in iTunes music to get it to work and it only allows volume, playing of files in a playlist and to next song. Are any of you guys having issues with VERY limited use of the remote and lack of really a benefit from using a remote because you have to touch it anyways to change through songs or video??? Are you guys wondering why you even bought it if the remote is not supported as a functional addition?

  • Playing video on tv using ipod universal dock with s-video

    i am not able to play with my 180gb ipodclassic video on my tv using s-video on universal dock. the message "TV Out Enabled" please connect Video Accessory". This should work because apple support tells us so see the last picture; http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1454?viewlocale=nl_NL
    who can help me because i refuse to pay 49 euro's($75) for a cable when this should work?

    According to Apple, the iPod Classic IS supposed to work with the Universal Dock w/S-video outpupt.
    It's not working for me, either. 160GB Classic.

  • IPhone 4 w/ Bumper in Universal Dock?

    Will the iPhone 4 w/ Bumper fit in the Universal Dock if we don't use one of those iPhone 4 adapter plates?

    I can understand Apple not making a million different dock connectors to fit every single 3rd party case available for all the iPhones and iPods, but I find it hard to believe that they can't make one more size to fit a case that they make exclusively!
    This is especially true after all this signal issue crap that's haunting the iPhone 4 right now. Personally, I would have bought a bumper case no matter what because even though I hate phone cases, this one actually helps with both the signal issue and a better grip on a rather slippery phone.
    Apple needs to step it up and create a new 3-pack product so all of us with bumpers can use our universal and sound docks.

  • Playing iPhone Thru iTunes on Different Different Computers

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm having a problem playing the songs on my iPhone thru any but the computer it's synced to. All the songs are greyed out. None of the songs are from the iTunes store so I'm thinking I should not have to authorize any other computers to play. With my iPod I just connect it to any computer and am able to play the songs off of it thru iTunes and I'd like to be able to do the same with my iPhone. Any assistance would be appreciated...
    Thanks

    Unlike the iPod, when under manual control, the iPhone will only play off the library it is synced with when connected to a computer.
    I tried this myself and discovered that, even though Apple gave us a little more control of our iPhone library through manual control with an update, but they still have it protected and set up so it can only work with one library.
    My example is, I sync my iPhone with my Mac at home. I tried to connect it to my PC at work, and all my information showed up, songs, everything. But it was grayed out, so I couldn't use it.
    Hope this helps.

  • No Video via Universal Dock and Apple AV Cable 5.5g iPod

    I recently tried outputting video from my 5.5g iPod via the Univrsal Dock and Apple's AV cable. When the iPod is docked, I get sound through the TV, but no video. If I move the AV cable to the headphone jack on the iPod itself, I then get Video and Audio. Does anyone have any insight into this? I am using the iPod specific AV cable and not the iBook AV cable like on other postings.

    I am sorry that this seems to have gotten confusing. I hope this makes more sense.
    Only iPod AV cable (RCA video, audio left, audio right) from Universal Dock to TV = No Video, Yes Audio. No SVHS cable from dock being used.
    Only iPod AV cable from iPod’s headphone jack to TV = Yes Video and Audio. No SVHS cable being used.
    Is the universal dock supposed to be used with an SVHS cable and Audio via the AV Cable for connection to a TV? I did not try that as my SVHS port is taken, but I might give it a whirl. (The video settings were set correctly to TV Out = On and NTSC.)

  • Cannot play iPhone 4s created videos via Airplay on Apple Tv

    I have had this issue ever since upgrading to the 4s.  I cannot play the videos created on my 4S on Apple TV via Airplay.  The same error occurs whether I try to pull the video from the Apple TV itself, the iPhone 4S, or the iMac.  Very frustrating.  The phone takes beautiful video but I shouldnt have to move the video to my PC and hook it up to the TV via HDMI to watch it.  Thanks for any help.

    Hi RTen1,
    What do you see when you double tap the home button on the iPhone 4s?
    When I double tap to get the Multitasking Bar, then swipe all the way to the left, I do see the volume control and the Airplay icon.  Clicking the Airplay icon lets me choose the Apple TV and set Mirroring on.  Then when I play my presentation, I see it on the TV.
    I don't see it if WiFi is off.  Also make sure the Apple TV is on the same network.

  • Cabling from Apple Universal Dock to TV (with iPhone)

    Folks,
    I am well able to get video signal from my iPhone sitting in my Apple Universal Dock to TV sets (and yes I am using Apple's Composite cable) but audio signal just doesn't come through using this cabling system. When I plug in an additional cable from the roung separatel "LINE OUT" port in the Apple Universal Dock and plug other end of that Y-cable into the audio in ports on the TV, I get the audio.
    I thought the whole idea of using the "component" cable (yellow going into the yellow video port on the TV, red and white going into their respective audio ports on the TV) that the entire video and audio signals were sent out the long'ish horizontal connector from behind the dock and funneled into the red, white, and yellow connectors on the component cable's other end thus making it unnecessary to use both the "line out" port on the dock in addition to the long white horizontal plug.
    What is up here and is there such a thing as one cable that has on one end the long white horizontal type plug as well as a line out plug and on the other end the red, yellow, and white plugs that go into the TV? There is none on the Apple site - just the COMPOSITE cable which is for TVs (the newest types) that offer essentially 5 ports - 3 for just video and 2 for audio.
    What IS the correct way the user is supposed to be doing this????

    I saw the Chart, I got the same problem as last year when I had my iPhone 3G 16GB. Apple NEVER SOLVE the issue and simply put the iPhone 3G being supported in the chart. It's not hard for them to add the 3GS for the next printed update.
    Very dissappointed with Apple on the universal dock and AV component cable combo. They are not cheap either!
    Anyone knows how can I connect the iPhone 3GS to computer monitor or projector just like what they did in WDC?

  • Universal dock remote control play/pause button doesn't work

    Hi all,
    Ok since updating to Ipod touch software v2.2 I have been unable to use the play/pause button on my Apple universal dock remote, whilst my iPod touch is in the dock.
    The volume controls and track next and previous buttons commands on the remote control work just fine.
    I have tried unpairing and then pairing the remote with the universal dock but same issue. I thought that maybe the play/pause key was possibly broken. However I tested the remote on my iMac and play/pause button works fine in front row.
    Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Strange thing is mine started working again last night and is still working. Seems the problem went away as it originally appeared. I hope it doesn't stop working.
    I will mark this thread as unanswered until we can figure why the remote, universal dock and iPod touch are behaving this way.

  • My touch will not play sound thru speakers while on the universal dock but will play when it is off

    how do i get my itouch to play thru speakers while on the universal dock?

    hmm if your ipod touch  will not play music tru its internal speakers while it is connected to a power cable might be beacuse of a malf. to fix this issue just restart your ipod touch while connected to a power adapter. if this does not work it may be a hardware problem. please take it to your nearest apple store. they might be able to fix the issue and if your ipod touch is under warrenty they might be able to replace it.

  • I feel silly: Music plays only thru iPhone, not Bose speaker, when docked

    Hi--I've read the threads on the Bose Sound Dock and they seem to conclude that yes, the iPhone is compatible with the Sound Dock as long as you put it in Airplane Mode. No problem with that--but when I dock it, the sound is still coming only from the iPhone speakerphone and not the Bose.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks.

    My iPhone works fine with the Bose speakers. When the Iphone prompts you on whether or not you want to go into airport mode, say NO.
    Also, the iPhone works in my 5th gen IPod cradle that I have hooked up in the car via RCA jacks into the AUX portion of the radio. No problems what-so-ever!
    Both of these charge the iPhone.

  • Problem with Apple Universal Dock and Iphone 3G

    Just bought the newest version of the Apple universal dock (revision C), so I can have one dock for my iphone and all my ipods.
    It appears that even the newest version isn't 100% compatible with the iphone.
    When the iphone is connected via the dock, you get no alert sounds such as for new email, text, etc..when the phone rings you DO get audio then.
    Also, when you try and sync the iphone with itunes while connected, it won't sync. It just hangs and says "sync cannot be completed"....
    Connecting the iphone directly via the cable to the computer solves all these issues.
    They advertise this as compatible with iphone but obviously not so...

    Update:
    I've checked this:
    -Aux (Dock-Connector) of the iPod has no damage, no problems playing music in the car!
    -Same Problem now with iPhone. It gets charged and so, but if I want to listen to music it is very quiet, music is playing for half a second or so, after that stopped, than goes on playing for a second or so. Cracking sounds often while music is stopped.
    So the Dock is broken, I guess.
    Any possibility to restart/resert or so by my own or try to get it fixed by apple?
    Greetz!
