The ipod universal dock just doesnt like cases.

Its no doubt that all the dock adapters were meant to only fit the ipods with no case or anything. I have an ipod touch with a sort of rubber back caseing. The thing wont fit into any dock adapters, but fits into the dock without an adapter just fine. It seems a bit less stable, but works 100% fine. Is there going to be any problems with it if I continue using it without a dock adapter?

Hi I too have the i touch and the rubber case. What i did was used the no 10 insert and cut the ends so the case fits in ok i found using no 10 the best

  • Does the iPod Universal Dock work with the Apple Component AV Cable?

    I have the iPod Universal Dock (MA045G/A) and the Apple Component AV Cable (MB128LL/B)...the ones in the original black packaging.
    I had wanted to connect either my Nano 3G or my iTouch 1G to my TV, but neither would work through the docking station with the AV cable. Both did work when I tried not using the dock and connected both the Nano and the iTouch directly into the AV Cable.
    My dock works great on my Computer, and I tried a second dock (same model) that I had into the TV with the AV cable and it still did not see the connection.
    Is my particular iPod Universal Dock NOT COMPATIBLE with this Apple Component AV Cable (or for that matter, the Composite AV Cable-MB129LL/B)?
    It's not a big deal since both do work with the AV cable by itself...it's just annoying I can't use the dock...

    Are you sure it is genuine Apple cable? If you bought it on eBay or non-authorized Apple dealer it probably isn't. If it is a genuine cable, it is defective, and should be returned.
    When a working genuine Apple A/V cable is plugged into iPhone, a popup appears asking if you want to enable the TV output. Since you are not getting this popup, your cable is bad.

  • Does the ipod universal dock need power?

    I have an ipod universal dock which I'm trying to connect to a video projector using s-video. Do I need to supply power to the universal dock in order to view videos from my 30GB ipod? onto my projection screen.

    Hi,
    I do not have the universal dock, so I am not 100% sure, if from what I read from the following link
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300251#tv
    It seems that you do not need the power supply to the universal dock, however, if you want to use the remote control of the dock, then you need to connect it either via a computer or iPod ac charger

  • Menu Button issue with the iPod Universal Dock with Remote

    What is the status of a firmware release to address the inability of the Apple Remote to mimic the menu button on the iPod?
    Is it even possible to update the firmware to provide this functionality? What is the hold up? I am boycotting further hardware purchases until this is taken care of or Apple accept s a return of my Universal Dock, Remote, Second power brick, Firewire cable, and AV cable.
    It is shameful for Apple to have sold these items and not made it clear that the menu button may as well be a sticker.

  • What is included in the "iPod Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack for iPod touch (4th generation)"?

    What's in the box? Is it a small dock you can rest and charge your iPod on, or is it simply an adapter for the £50 Apple Universal Dock?
    Please reply I'm really confused!

    It's only a few adapaters so your iPod can sit and rest properly on Apple's Universal dock.

  • HT1380 can the Ipod universal dock be connected to an AV Receiver

    I have just purchased the latest I Pod Touch and want to get a dock that will allow me to connect to my Yamaha AV Receiver. Can this be done?

    The dock will only provide audio and you will need an adopter
    One of these adopters/cables should work:

  • IPhone + Apple iPod Universal Dock?

    Does anyone know if the iPod Universal Dock is really
    compatible with the iPhone? When I plug my iPhone into
    the UD it says "This accessory was not made to work with
    iPhone" and then proceeds to ask if I want to go into
    Airplane mode to reduce audio interference. The actually
    "sync" functionality works perfect. Must have something
    to do with audio/video output ports on the UD?? Anyone???

    I do not have the UD adapter for the iPhone, I just plug
    that puppy right in and hope that i don't hit it as it is
    only being held up by the connector at the bottom. I've
    never had a issue with this and my nano either. I'm too lazy
    to use the adapters! But apple does have an adapter for the
    UD right here :

  • Availability of the Apple Universal Dock & Composite A/V Cable

    Does anyone know if the Apple Universal Dock & Composite A/V Cable for the Touch are in Apple Stores? My daughter purchased what the sales person said were the correct accessories as a surprise b'day gift from the Apple NY Soho store and they sold her the iPod Universal Dock and a Monster Composite (RCA) Audio cable. Wrong! Apparently the sales person did not know what they were doing. When looking at the Apple Online Store it states that they take 3-4 weeks for delivery. BTW, I am waiting for my Touch which is enroute.

    Thank you for the response, but Apple's own support site states otherwise. The iPod Universal Dock uses an S-Video out. The Apple Universal Dock requires the use of the Composite or Component A/V Cable. The Apple site specifies that the iPod Universal is not compatible. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300233
    Were you actually able to send your Touch video to your TV via the iPod Universal Dock? If so, I'll give it a shot before returning it.

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!

  • Ipod Nano Compatibility with Ipod Universal Dock and Remote

    I have an 8GB Black 2nd Gen iPod Nano. I want to connect it to my stereo. I was told that the Apple Ipod Universal Dock would be a good solution.
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=6C0 4E07A&nplm=MA045G/C
    The website says that it is compatible with my nano, so no big deal right? I just wanted to make sure it would work fine with my iPod nano before I went and bought one. Does it come with the AV cable to connect the dock to my stereo / tv? DOes the dock have a graphical menu interface like some of the third party docks/remotes have?
    Also, will the Apple Ipod Remote work with the universal dock?
    http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=BB5 E48CD&nplm=MA128G/A
    The apple store website says that everything will be compatible, but I wanted confirmation from someone who has actually owned this or knows about this.
    Can you offer any better docks/remotes ideas?

    I was looking at the review CNET had for that Kensington dock.
    http://reviews.cnet.com/mp3-player-accessories/kensington-entertainment-dock-500 /4505-6519_7-31631868.html?tag=uolst
    I had a question about part of the review though, I am not sure I am understanding it correctly.
    "We were impressed by the remote's ability to take control of our iPod; most of the third-party iPod-dock remotes we've seen only pause the music or video, skip tracks, and adjust the volume, not browse the menus. That said, the Entertainment Dock still isn't perfect. When you navigate the menus, your TV screen will be blank, so you must rely on the iPod's screen for your visual cues. Our other gripe is that the remote seems cheaply designed: The buttons on our review model looked misaligned (if usable), while the battery cover was annoyingly difficult to pry open. We got about 30 feet of range from the remote, which is more than adequate for most living rooms."
    So this means that even though the remote can navigate the menus on the iPod, you wont be able to see what you are doing unless you go to the screen of your iPod?

  • Apple iPod Universal Dock And Remote

    So If I have the Apple iPod Universal Dock and the Apple Remote And a iPod nano do I have front row?

    So in case anyone at Apple is paying attention:
    1) Offer a package of the Apple Remote, a USB receiver for it, and Front Row together as a bundle for existing Mac users. It is a perfect fit for the Mac mini sitting in my stereo cabinet connected to my TV.
    2) Assuming that Photobooth only works with an iSight camera, then why not offer it as a free download for all customers who already have iSights? Presumably it wouldn't do anyone without an iSight any good - right? It should then be packaged with all iSights as a standard part of the package.
    If you can't do (1), then at least issue an update to Tiger (10.4.3 for example) that includes Front Row built in with the ability to drive it from a Bluetooth keyboard or mouse? Then offer the Apple Remote with a USB receiver later...
    It's so obvious I can't believe it wasn't done today...

  • S-Video + iPod Universal Dock supposed to work, doesn't

    According to this Knowledgebase article, I'm supposed to be able to get video out of my iPod Classic using an iPod Universal Dock and an S-Video cable. (Scroll to the end of the article.) Doesn't work. When I try to play video, the iPod just puts up the "connect a video accessory" nag screen.
    The KB article is quite specific about this configuration. Is the article incorrect, or is there some way to make this work that I'm missing?

    I'm having the same problem.

  • Should i buy he ipod universal dock

    should i buy he ipod universal dock, can anyone help me to decide. thanks

    Sorry Liam - yes, universal dock is fine, as you get the converter insert with the ipod.
    Interestingly, the guy in the shop I went to first (and various people at the mac expo I just went to) said that the 5g dock wasn't available yet. This, naturally, is rubbish - the universal dock fits it just fine.
    Sorry - was on my soapbox about the rubbish remote again...

    1. I have an Ipod universal dock, but now need adapters. how can I order 16 to 20 adapters only?
    2. Does apple has a lead which has iphone pin on one end and HDMI on the other so that I can connect my universal apple dock to my BOSE V-30 for better sound quality than a composite cable?

    2.
    something like this?

  • I am getting interference on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from down loaded CDs to ITunes on my PC.  The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod.  This just started recently.  Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    I am getting interference (scratching sound) on my Ipod touch on music that I sync from downloaded CDs to ITunes on my PC. The music is clear when I play it on my PC but has the interference on the Ipod.  This just started recently.  Any thoughts?

    Thank you so much for the reply.  I does not appear to be the headphones because I get the same interference sound from my Ihome radio when I dock by Ipod on it as well as when I connect the Ipod to the radio connection in the car.  I have isolated the issue to the Ipod because these same tunes play without interference on my PC so something is happening in the sync process.
    More thoughts?
