'Solved': interference of iPod Touch 4G on Bose SoundDock

My iPod Touch 4G generates an irritating humming noise from the speakers of an upgraded (to support charging of the iPod Touch 4G) Bose SoundDock when docked and playing an album. This is somehow related to the 'Now Playing' screen (perhaps the scrolling banner at the top?). If I hit the 'back' Arrow on the 'Now Playing' screen to go back to the 'All Albums' screen the humming noise is gone..
Regards,
Gijsbert

Yes, it seems like a defect in the iPod. If the iPod is within warranty and has not been abused Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one at no cost.

IPod touch 4 with Bose sounddock portable

Hey buddies, my IPod touch 4 (iOS 5.1.1) isn't fit with Bose Sounddock Portable, how come? You guys have any solution? Thx

If you mean theat the 4G iPd does not full mate with the dock you have two solutions:
- Modify the dock with knife and duct tape to make it fit.
- Use a dock extender:

When I dock my ipod touch into my bose speakers, the 365Live radio APP doesn't work. Does anybody know why?

When I dock my ipod touch into my Bose speakers, the 365LiveRadio APP doesn't work. It buffers and doesn't connect.
Why ?

Audio through a dock connection is at line level, also called line out. Line level volume is not adjustable. You need to change the volume using the controls on the iHome device, or its remote.

Using ipod touch 4gen with bose ae2i

Listening to ipod touch (2g) on Bose sound dock

I am trying to decide on purchasing the new ipod touch. From reading this forum I understand that the ipod touch 2g will not charge on the old Bose sound dock. Does anyone know if it will even play through the speakers on the sound dock and if this would damage the ipod? Thanks in advance for any information.

Thanks so much for the reply helifreak. Based on what you said I purchased the ipod touch. I can confirm that is does play on my old bose sound dock. As previously stated it will not charge though. I can't comment on if listening to the ipod on the bose is damaging my ipod but it seems fine so far.

Ipod Nano 3G and Bose Sounddock Problems - Please help if you can?

2) will not let me change songs when docked
3) when removed it locks for up to 20 secs
4) bose remote will only let me alter volume not songs or rewind
5) if I press off on Bose remote it goes off for 5 secs then comes back on
Please can anyone help explain or offer solutions to this please.

IPod 'blown up' & damaged Bose SoundDock

Hi,
My iPod Classic, not sure which generation - I think 5th?, bought in 2005 has 'blown-up' whilst in my Bose SoundDock.
The iPod is totally dead, the back has come away and the screen is a mess.
The SoundDock no longer works either.
I'm not quite sure what to do as they are both out of warranty?
Can anybody advise?
Many Thanks,

If the back of the iPod has come away and the screen is in a mess, it does sound as though it has blown up (as opposed to you exercising poetic licence. )
First thing, avoid touching any mess that has come out of the iPod because it could be harmful to you. (It sounds as though the battery has actually exploded.)
I think the iPod has had it, in which case, buy new. You could try getting it "repaired", although in that case I would suggest you try Apple. Apple will simply swap out the iPod with a replacement (of the same type) whereas I think third party suppliers will probably attempt to rebuild a broken iPod, which in this case probably won't be possible. I could be wrong about that though.) It's really a question of whether you want to pay for a repair or buy new at (probably) slightly higher cost.
However, the bose is a different proposition. Since you're resident in the UK and presumably have a UK mains-plug on the Bose, you could test the plug's fuse on the Bose to see if it's that that has failed. You never know, you may be lucky. The Bose website (http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-entertainment/customer-service/for-owners/faqs/ SoundDock-II-FAQ/index.jsp) has a phone number for their troubleshooting/repair line on 0800 781 1274 (UK number). Presumably, they can advise you whether it's worth buying a new power supply - they certainly supply them. They will need the 17 digit serial number of your Bose (it's on the SoundDock's base) when you call.
One thing you should consider doing is writing to both Apple and Bose to let them know what has happened, since exploding batteries is a serious situation. They may even ask you to let them see the devices so that they can work out what caused the problem.
Good luck.

Connecting ipod classic 160Gb to bose sounddock

the ipod 160Gb is so thin so doesn't sit in a bose sounddock securely, have to wedge something behind it to get proper connectivity......the plastic adapter doesn't hold it upright. Any ideas?

I assume that by "plastic adaptor" you mean the one that came with your iPod 160GB Classic. It doesn't hold the iPod upright, it will be leaning back slightly. You have inserted the "Dock Adaptor" the right way round I hope?
If you have the insert (Dock Adaptor) in the correct way and the iPod is leaning backwards slightly, but no sound comes out (unless youy force the iPod upright) it sounds as thought the connector in the dock is broken.

Is it possible to overcharge an iPod Classic in a Bose SoundDock?

Do I need to be concerned about leaving my iPod Classic 120MB docked in my Bose SoundDock Series II when not in use? Could this practice overcharge the iPod's battery and hence shorten the life?

I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but the iPod will not allow itself to be overcharged - it will "quick-charge" to 80%, trickle charge the remaining 20%, then stop whether plugged into your computer or your Bose SoundDock.

Ipod Nano 8GB with Bose SoundDock

Hi all,
My new Nano 8GB won't fit into the Bose SoundDock using any of the supplied plastic adaptors. It fits without an adaptor and works fine but the supplied Nano adaptor won't allow it to fit.
Does anyone know where to get an adaptor that fits?
Thanks,
MT23

My 4GB Nano just got destroyed and I'm getting ready
to buy the 8GB...Will it work in the same docking
stations that my 4GB worked in? Thank
you

My ipod touch won't connect when plugged into Bose speaker

Whenever I plug my iPod touch into my Bose speaker system, nothing happens. It doesn't say that there is an error or anything. It starts charging just fine but it won't play when it's plugged in.
I know it's not an issue with the iPod's abililty to play music because headphones and the built in speaker work just fine. Other iPods connect fine to that speaker, just not this one. I'm just not sure why it won't connect to the speaker.

- Does Bose say it is compatble with your 4G iPod and iOS 6.1.6? Sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility
- Did it work before the iOS update?
- Have you went to Bose's support site/contacted them?
Trey:
- Resetting the Bose unit
- 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.

Bose sounddock and ipod touch

is it safe to use mt new iPod touch with the Bose sound dock that was compatable with my iPod mini? i dont want to blow up my iPod with a terrible amount of power or something. please help.. THANKS !!!

I have a Bose sound dock and it generally seems to work fine. However I have had one problem with the charging and I would be interested to know if you are having the same issue. I've posted the question twice now, had a lot of views, but no responses. I'm assuming this is because not may folks are using the Bose dock (which is really just Apple's dock) with their iPod Touch yet. Here is my last post:
+When I put my iPod Touch in the standard Apple dock that came with my Bose Wave 2 iPod kit, the iPod displays a "plug" in the upper right hand corner. This is even though it is not fully charged. I've even received warnings that the battery was running low while it was sitting in the dock.+
+I triple checked the connections and everything is OK. Every once in a while the icon does change to the lighting bolt, indicating that it is actually charging, but I can not determine what sequence cause this to happen. I've plugged my iPod Touch into at least 6 different "sound dock" type devices and I always get the expected lighting bolt icon.+
+I went back to the Bose store where I bought the kit and we had the same problem with another Apple dock they had sitting out. They even gave me a brand new replacement kit, but when I got home, same issue.+
+I can't figure this one out. Any one else having this problem and/or know what I need to do to have the iPod charge (if needed) when I put it in the Apple dock?+

IPod Touch 4 - Bose Speakers Conflict

When I try to plug in my iPod touch into my Bose Speakers sound dock, there is a notification saying that 'Charging is not supported with this accessory'. Is there anyway to get around this? Or do I need new speakers that cost a few hundred dollars?

Turns out the speakers were outdated and not compatible.
