Problem with Universal Dock

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if any of you guys have had problems with volume adjustment with video iPod when attached to the new dock and stereo. In most cases I have to crank the volume almost to end, but not the all way, because then the sound only comes out of the headphones. As I said, this happens in almost every song. On other the songs - I've found only few - I can't adjust the volume, which I find more pleasing. So I would like to know, is there any way to change those preferences on the iPod, or with some other method?
In case its needed, my iPods firmware is 1.0, which I wouldn't like uprage because of the backlight timer.
Thanks in advance!

Also have this very frustrating problem. Completely fine playing audio out through iPod touch 2nd Gen with 4.0 update connected to universal dock. Now after the iOS 4.0.2 update, no audio from speakers when I connect to universal dock (headphones and internal speaker work fine), the volume slider disappears when I connect the iPod to the dock and the TuneIn Radio app says "No Volume Available". Hardware volume buttons and apple remote have no effect.
Resetted settings, downgraded back to iOS 4.0.1, restored to factory nothing seems to work. Strangely enough, tried connecting a friend's 2nd Gen ipod touch which hasn't been updated to ios 4.0 (it has 3.1.3) and the same thing: volume slide goes away when connected to dock, and no audio out from speakers. Speakers are good, tested them separately.
Could it be that the ios 4.0.2 update screwed up the universal dock firmware?

Problem with Universal Dock after iOS 4.0.2 installation

My universal dock is only two weeks old..It worked fine with iOS 4.0.1.
Today everything was also ok but after I upgraded to 4.0.2 while the phone was sitting on the dock and now I get the error message:
"this accessory is not optimized for this iphone"
Tried to reset settings and clean connectors, but no results.
Did you experience the same?

IPod with Universal Dock and Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

Is anyone successfully using their iPod with Universal Dock and the Logitech Harmony 880 remote? Does it need to be trained or does can you use the logitech software to program the remote?

logitech software to program the remote?
You can program the 880 to work with the Universal Dock with just the logitech software. Just add a Digital Music Server and when asked what Model it is enter "iPod Universal Dock". That's it. For some reason Logitech tech support says it can't be done but me and and a couple of friends have done it without any issues.

Problem with universal data cleanse

I have problem with universal data cleanse.
I am using DS 3.2.x (12.2.2).
I created:
Dictionary: TEST
Classification: TEST_CL
Custom outputs: category: TEST_CAT
Dictionary Entry:
Primary: BO
Classification: TEST_CL
Gender: Unassigned
Secondary information:
When used as: TEST_CAT
Standard: Business Objects
Rule file:
DataCleanse Rule File v2.0;
TEST_CAT = TEST_CL;
action = TEST_CAT;
TEST_CAT = 1 : TEST_CAT : 1;
end_action
Data Cleanse:
Input: Multiline1
Options:
Parsing Dictionary: TEST
Rule file: .../test_rules.dat
Break On Whitespace Only: Yes
Parser Sequences Multiline1: TEST_CAT
Output:
Parent_component: TEST_CAT1
Generated_field_name: TEST_CAT and RULE_LABEL
Generated_field_class: parsed/standardized
Contenet_type: none
and EXTRA field
I wanted to replace word u201CBOu201D with the standard words u201CBusiness Objectu201D, but I have result: there is "BO" in the extra field,
there are "null" in others fields.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for all help!
P.S. I don't have cleansing packages installer.

There seem to be a couple of things going on here:
1. If you are using your custom dictionaries, then you have to map your input to MULTILINE1 and enable the custom parsers - just something to be aware of
2. You mentioned that you made some changes to the existing dictionary and you are not seeing any changes. To be clear, do you have different TEST and PRODUCTION environments? Or is it the same environment except that you have a local DS repository and for the dictionary you are pointing to another repository (using Dictionary --> Manage Connections)?
Having the dictionaries on a different repository should not make any difference as long as you point to them in your designer using the Dictionary --> Manage Connection option.
So I think there may be some issue with your job setup and/or dictionary values need to be looked at. You can start by adding another output field named "EXTRA" to see whether or not your data is getting parsed at all. Also, make sure the entry "CLEANME" is classified as FIRM_NAME_ALONE in the dictionary and that you are selecting the correct dictionary name in the Datacleanse Transform options.

Problem with universal installer

Hi
I have a problem with universal installer (version 2.1) as trying to intall IDS. Always it worked fine, but now, when I click on Next button of the home selector page (I fill right from/to fields), I get the message saying "problem to access the intermediate area; review if the values of destiny and origin are valid". In Spanish exactly is: "Se ha producido un problema al acceder a la zona intermedia. Asegúrese de que los valores especificados para \'Origen\' y \'Destino\' son válidos".
It stops the proccess and I can't continue. I review the log file and read the values and error message .
I deinstalled the ids pack, so may be it did some damage on my oracle installation. Also I try to start with another version I have on my computer (2.2), and it crashs just when I click on Next button of the welcome page. At the "hs_err_pidxx" of \archives of programs\oracle\oui, I can read the following:
Unexpected Signal : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION occurred at PC=0x6d4873de
Function name=JVM_InitializeCompiler
Library=E:\Archivos de programa\Oracle\jre\1.3.1\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll
# HotSpot Virtual Machine Error : EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
# Error ID : 4F530E43505002C4
# Please report this error at
# http://java.sun.com/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (1.3.1_01 mixed mode)
I have W2000prof, 1G in RAM, and always oracle worked very fine here.
Well, can somebody help me? any suggestions will be welcome.
Gracias

Do your install files reside in a path with spaces in it? I've experienced some problems with the Universal Installer, if e.g. I have my files in
c:\install\Oracle Forms 9i\
but if I write
c:\install\Oracle_Forms_9i\
there's no problem.

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?

IPod 3rd gen not working with universal dock

My old iPod 3rd gen (15GB, touch wheel, dock connector) worked great with the old dock, until the latter started scratching noises when outputting audio to my stereo. Still charges the iPod though.
So, I tried old iPod with the universal dock I got for my Touch and found the following problems:
1. iPod is not being charged through new dock plugged to wall adapter
2. touch wheel menu control is not working as long as iPod sits in universal dock plugged to the wall adapter - the sound of clicks is all I get, but no control of menu or any other function. In order to select playlist or use any other function through touch wheel or any of 4 buttons I need to unplug power from the dock (it is not charging anyway)
3. remote is not working at all
Otherwise playback is OK.
Any ideas what may be the culprit here? Apple states that Universal dock is compatible with 3rd generation of iPod and up.

Hello Andrew,
What a coincidence as I too have had to find a new dock for my 3rd gen ipod. This week I purchased an Apple AV Connection kit - but found that it would not charge the ipod or respond to the remote. I also bought and tried a Belkin AC adapter with cable to power up the ipod but it too would not charge the ipod.
To see if these units were working I connected them to a friend's brand new ipod classic and both the Belkin and Apple AV Connection Kit worked fine - so there is something different about the 3rd gen ipod.
I'm not sure if this helps you - but at least you know it's not just your ipod that is not working with the new dock.

My ipod touch is no longer working with universal dock since downloading the new OS

I have the Apple Universal Dock. It had been working fine with my ipod touch. I just downloaded the new OS and now my ipod touch will not work with the Universal Dock.
Any ideas?

Hi grecokev,
Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Problem with ipod dock and apple remote

I have a problem with my apple remote and my 5th gen ipod on a dock. I set it up and plug it into a TV, yet when i get into a music video playlist- it will only play 4 songs (the same ones) and then go back to the song selection screen. The same thing happens in the movie "tab" as well.
Any ideas?

btabz,
Thanks for your response. No the iPod doesn't respond at all--the volume display doesn't come up or change.
When I press the play/pause or either skip forward or back on the remote, the iPod, while on the dock, lights up and responds to the command as it should. But when I press volume up or down on the remote the iPod does not respond at all.
According to Apple's store info on the remote, the volume up/down controls should work. I am wondering if maybe it doesn't work with the 3Gs for some reason. But if that is the case, Apple should indicate that. It is kind of frustrating to not be able to adjust the volume.
Thanks,

S-Video with Universal Dock

Hi,
I plan to order the 5G iPod and Universal Dock tonight. I will want to be able to play photo slideshows (both photos and sound), and videos, through my TV. To do this, I plan to place the iPod in the Universal Dock, then connect the Dock to the TV by a S-Video cable. As I have read that this method gives a clearer/better signal compared to using the Apple iPod AV cable.
Is this all I will need? Will both video and audio work/transmit to the TV via the S-Video cable? I'm assuming I won't need my laptop there either, as from what I understand, that set-up would be completely stand-alone...?
If a S-Video cable is all I need, can anyone recommend any manufacturers? I can not find an Apple S-Video cable on their online Store. There is a Belkin one though.
Could I get away with buying a bog standard S-Video cable from a local store, for say a few pounds?
Thanks in advance.

Oh, drat! So you can either use just the iPod AV cable, which transmits both video and audio, from the iPod's headphone port to the TV, or...
... you can use the AV cable and an S-Video cable (in which case you also need the Dock with you)? With this second option, does the S-Video connection override the AV's capabilties to transmit video - so the AV cable is purely being used to transmit the audio??
Sorry to sound dumb, I have no experience with connecting an iPod to a TV.
Basically, what I want to know, is what I require to connect my 5G iPod up to my TV, to view photo slideshows and videos (both video and audio) - in the best/highest quality format possible. As I said above, I will be purchasing a Universal Dock.
Thanks for your help and quick reply.

No sound on my home audio system with universal dock

Hi,
I have 2 docks: the iPod dock and the universal dock.
If I use the dock with my home audio system I have sound - clear and loud.
If I use the universal dock I have no sound.
Does the universal dock only work with a remote?

If the home audio system is the same, the cables are the same, the iPod is the same, and the settings are the same, than I would assume you have a bad dock.

Any 4S cases work with universal dock?

I'm finally upgrading to the iPhone 4S. I'd really like to find a case and/or universal dock adapter combination so I can continue to use my univ. dock for charging.
I'd prefer to avoid having to remove or otherwise adjust the case to make it work. Dock stub extenders aren't ideal either.
I have an Agent18 case for my 3GS which came with a dock adapter and works great. Have not been able to find a comparable unit for the 4S.
Any recommendations??
Thanks for your ideas.

Any case that's a slider case. I would suggest the InCase Slider.
