Problems with a dock connector?

I have a 40G 3rd Generation iPod. As far as I know it works fine: Connects to my computer, transfers songs, connects to my portable speaker set and plays fine. I am trying to use it with a 2006 Alpine with iPod support. It has a dock connector and when I plug ipod to it's dock connector it starts charging but leaves me in control of the ipod interface. The alpine just displays 'searching' and doesn't do anything. I know the alpine hardware is good as I plugged in a 4th generation ipod and it worked fine.
Is there anyway to test the dock connector on my ipod and make sure the pins being used by the alpine aren't broken? I was in diagnostic mode and the 5-1 test passed, but I didn't see anything that looked like it tested the pin out. Maybe the remote test when it is plugged into the alpine, but I don't know if that would work.
I suppose this is what we get when Apple doesn't control all the hardware. Oye! I just want this to work! I suppose I could sell the 3rd generation and get a 4th generation one, but that would be kind of lame and I'm sure a big loss on my part.
Anyone have any thoughts on testing the dock connector? I suppose I'll have to do a restore tonight, but I'm not looking forward to it!

Trouble with the dock connector??

I have no clue why my Ipod is doing this or if its the cord. Ill plug my Ipod into the computer, and nothing happens. If I lift the cord up right where it plugs into my ipod it'll start charging. So unless i use the case to wrap the cord up over the screen and hook the cord to the belt clip to keep a constant pull on it, it won't connect or charge. Though i have used another cord and i still had to do this to charge it.
Can anyone tell me why it's doing this? and how I would fix it?

Have you tried cleaning the dock connector slot on the iPod? You may have a problem with the dock connector and it needs replacement. If you have an Apple store nearby you might want to make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

This is likely to depend on the version of the OC you have. The released one isn't supposed to work with Outlook 2003. Please contact Tech Support for the latest version and help.

Hi,
Have a look at:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9320116
Directions on the installation/configuration and requirements of the outlook connector (for 2005Q4 since you haven't told us what version of the comm suite you are using) are available at docs.sun.com e.g.
http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/2783#hic
Outlook connector requires that you have UWC (a.k.a communication express) installed and configured, which has it's own requirements. UWC provides the single web-interface to mail & calendar & address-book. Outlook uses the address-book functionality via UWC, IMAP and SMTP for messaging/email, plus WCAP for calendar.

Shane.

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,

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?

Problems with the OPC Connector for older OPC DA servers?

Hello,
we are developing a solution involving OPC data access and want to utilize xMII as a gateway between the OPC server and our application. The xMII installation we use works fine with three different demoservers we connected, even when accessing them remotely.
When first trying to connect to our real datasource, we encountered problems. The namespace was not browsable from within the xMII Query Template editor. A taglist was given though, but the tags did not give proper results. The general log stated, that an "invalid server" was being used.
Other OPC clients which are designed for diagnostic use did not have any problems with namespace browsing or accessing the data in our server, so the problem was limited to the use of xMII. Reconfiguring the namespace of the OPC server led to data access working in xMII, but the namespace is still not browsable from within xMII.
We use a Simatic NET OPC Server, which states it fulfills OPC DA specification 1.0A and SAP xMII 11.5.1 with an OPCDatasource2_5_0_4beta Connector. The question is, if our problems could arise from our use of such an old OPC specification in the server? It is stated that the DataSource Connector works with "any OPC server", but as I understand it the actual specification is OPC DA 3.0, which would be quite a distance in versions.
Thanks in advance for any useful hints!

Hello Martin,
thanks a lot for the answer! This is exactly the information I need to explain my senior staff members why it is not my fault.
Luckily, I found a stable state for cooperation between my components. Now I have the validation that this state must not be altered by others.
Thanks again!

Firewire causes Fatal/Stop Windows error with ipod/dock connector

Hello,
Anyone have any ideas on this one? It's an older Ipod so I'm sure there's some kind of fix for this by now... and I see alot of issues with this on the net in general (but no fixes....wait, now I'm worried...).
Windows XP, sp2
New PC, screaming RAM
USB 2.0 works fine, can update 3g Ipod (20GB with dock connector) just fine (and doesn't charge the ipod which is normal for 3g/2.0 USB connections).
When Firewire is connected, charges Ipod just fine until Itunes starts up and tries to access the Ipod, in which case Windows gets blasted out of existance with a fatal stop error.
Is this a bus command issue? Driver issue? Everything works just fine with everything else. I'd like to use the firewire to keep the thing charging while I synch as the USB port runs the battery down QUICK!

hiya!
(didn't we already meet off in another thread about this sort of thing?)

what numerical and text codes are you getting with it? (ie 0x[zeros/letters/numbers] CAPSANDUNDERSCORES)
here's a reference on the sorts of things i'm asking about:
Troubleshooting Windows Stop Messages
if you're just seeing a flash of a blue screen, we can use this technique to slow it down a bit:
1) Open your system control panel (Start->Control Panels->System).
2) Select the "Advanced" tab.
3) Click the "Startup and Recover" section's "Settings" button
4) Verify that under "System Failure" the "Automatically restart" checkbox is not checked.

USB connection kit with Charging Dock connector?

Hey guys,
I am planning on buying the Apple USB dock connector in order to connect a midi device to my iPad to use with music apps. Im afraid of the battery dying as I'm recording and editing though and was wondering if anyone knew of a cable that also allowed me to plug the charging dock cable into my iPad at the same time as the USB?
A bit like a USB+DockConnector---> Dock connector cable?
Thanks alot,
Aaron.

Googling "Camera connection kit" or searching eBay for the same finds many third-party connectors that appear to do what you want, such as this, but I have no idea as to quality or functionality. At least they're cheap enough not to worry about wasting significant money finding out.

Icon bounce notification problem with hidden dock

Hi: I think this has been reported on macosxhints for the mail app, but I'm seeing it in other applications too. Specifically, I have Adium setup to notify me via a bouncing dock icon on new messages. I also have a hidden dock.
I've noticed that on new messages, initially the dock icon bounce will be visible. But if I mouse over the dock area to unhide + hide the dock, the bouncing will no longer be visible (it is still bouncing, and I can unhide the dock to confirm - just not visible when the dock is hidden anymore). If I click on the dock icon to check my message, any subsequent messages from Adium result in the dock icon bounce not being visible with the dock hidden. Once again, it is bouncing, just not visible.
As described in http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090330170041769, there are certain ways to avoid this, or even to recover from this, but I end up missing my IMs pretty often.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you Barry. I wonder if anyone else has the answer to that question. I have many different view options for different folders, and it would be a pain to have to reset each one of them.

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?

After upgrading to leopard, I have this problem with the Dock

Any time I try to remove an icon from the dock, it crashes and restarts, hence I am unable to ever remove items from the dock!
Any ideas on how I might fix this?
Thanks in advance!

Barry Hemphill wrote:
If you do not want to do that, I would probably do an archive and install (it will take you about two hours):
I suspect that this might be yet another of those things linked to the way migrating Tiger user accounts to Leopard can cause permissions issues that an Archive & Install (with the default option to preserve user settings) will not permanently solve. I think the easiest way to eliminate this possibility is to create a new user account in Leopard & see if the problem persists. If it does, & continues to do so after repairing systems permissions with Disk Utility, then it may be worth the time to do an A&I; otherwise probably not.

Problem with DK26 dock for Xperia Z

i just got my DK26 dock today and tried it out. it seems that whenever i plug in my device onto the dock, it'll reboot my phone every 5 to 10 minutes without failing! my sibling on the other hand has no issue on this. i have an SDcard plugged into my phone while my sibling doesn't. can anyone help me with this because its irritating.

Might be related to the SD card yes. Try formatting the card via your computer and see if the problem persists. Remember to backup all the data on the card you want to save.

Problem with DLO Dock Deluxe

I've been trying to get my nano to work with the "On TV" feature of the DLO Dock Deluxe. The nano connects fine to the stereo when in the default dock mode but as soon as I push the mode button on the DLO remote to go to TV mode the nano display slides to a big check mark saying OK to disconnect. The TV screen shows the DLO menu screen but says "no iPOD detected". I've called DLO several times. First they said to update the nano to 1.1 (did this and the updater brought the nano to 1.1.1 but didn't help solve the problem), then they said to try and restore the nano (which I did with no change in behavior), then they told me to exchange the dock for another one (which I just did today and I still have the same problem). I'm feeling convinced that the problem has to be with the iPOD but not sure what to try next since I've tried everything DLO has asked. I think someone may have said to reformat the device but I didn't know that was an option and not sure how to do that. I'm assuming that would be different than reseting, updating, and restoring. Has anyone else had similar challenges? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Thank you Barry. I wonder if anyone else has the answer to that question. I have many different view options for different folders, and it would be a pain to have to reset each one of them.
