Universal Dock 'adapter' #14 and #15

This is a bit esoteric but I have an Apple Universal Dock and it uses a little plastic adapter to match it up to each of the many versions of ipods and iphones. Each of the little white plastic adapters has a number code like 1 or 14 or 15 which maps to a particular model or generation of iphone or ipod.
After a lot of search I determined that officially white adapter for the iPhone 3G S is #15.
All I have is a #14. It appears to work with the iPhone 3G S in that I can plug it in and the phone charges and plays. But it doesn't slide in without a little bit of fussing.
Question: can anyone say what the difference is between the 14 and the 15 and whether I need to bother BUYING a #15 little plastic adapter for my universal dock?

Same here with iPod 3G, only stopped working close to one year later.
Here are the symptoms:
remote no longer works
volume slider disappears
line out is a periodic "bump"
iPod no longer goes to sleep and keeps making those "bump"s
iPod no longer detects video cables attached to dock
Everything works when ipod not connected to dock
My diagnosis: the dock is screwed up and is no longer recognized as such.

  • IPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter + dual dock(bt)?????

    has anyone tried this? I had iphone and apple bt(which *****),
    dualdock was good as it could hold both of them and keep them pair.
    Now things got ugly, 3g iphone doesn't come with dock, and they sell 3g dock
    but not 3g dual dock, so I have to either use travel cable or put 3g iphone
    in 3g dock and bt in dual dock(or travel charger), which is completely
    waste of space and usb port.
    So how's this combo? iPhone 3G Universal Dock Adapter( http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB546G/A?fnode=home/shopiphone/iphone_accessories/cablesdocks&mco=MTI3Mzc4Mg&p=1&s=topSellers ) + dual dock
    does it work? has anyone tried? I'm sure it will look ugly but if there's
    no plan for 3g dual dock, then I'd try it...

    Thank you for your response -- (its my first ever response) -- Universal Docks that have the large round IR window on the front are OLD Universal Docks and they will not work, they are for the older ipods before the video ipods came out. They also have a SVIDEO port in back. again these are for the old ipods. the newer Universal Docks have a small slot for a IR window and these are the new NON_SVIDEO versions and they my friend do work with the iphone/video ipods and of course the latest Iphone 3g -- if you purhcase the latest AV cables that connect at the bottom of the device...

  • Which universal dock adapter for iPod touch 4th generation?

    When you go into the Apple store / cables and docks, you eventually find one labelled 'Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack for iPod touch'  but when you go into the support article 300277 'Learn about Apple Universal Dock' it says to use adapter number 20 which has serial number MC598ZM/A, but when you click on the link on the serial number you get the information for 'Apple iPhone 4 Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack'. Neither information page gives an adapter number or a serial number. So which universal dock adapter is the right one for iPod touch 4th generation?

    I would get this one:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC650ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MTg5MTgxMjc
    The one for the iPhone 4 will not work.  You can always call Apple and ask them.

  • Universal dock adapter for iPod classic

    I am having problems obtaining a MA125G/B Universal Dock Adapter for my 160Gm iPod Classic. Now that all my music library is on the iPod, I am changing the "docks" from my car to my SUV to my home stereo system to a chargeable portable SONY docking station. I have only the one dock adapter #9 which came with the iPod. I live in Canada, and have had my Apple store try to locate a few additional adapters for me, but without success. I see that I can order one on line from Amazon.com, but when I go to purchase it, I am told that it can only be shipped within the US. Is there any retailer out there in Canada from whom I could purchase two or three of these universal adapters?

    Actually, I'm not really replying to myself. I just want to confirm that the MA125 G/B universal dock adapter which I found on Amazon.com will be compatible with my 160GB iPod Classic? There is no picture shown with the adapter,and it says it is for an iPod Video 30GB. Is this adapter the one which has the number "9" stamped underneath the lip? I think I may be able to have it shipped to a friend in Fla.

  • Why no iPod w/Video 60GB Universal Dock Adapter for UK?

    I've got a 60GB iPod with Video, which I use in two locations (home & work). As such, I have two universal docks.
    While the 60GB iPod with Video came with a single universal dock adapter, I need another adapter for my other universal dock. Unfortunately, only the 30GB adapter is available for purchase on the Apple Store (UK version).
    Anyone know why the 60GB adapter has slipped off the map in the UK? It's listed in the US store.
    Alternatively, can anyone suggest a place that might sell them?
    Dean

    [I hate to do this.. but.. 'Bump..!']
    So, has nobody else in the UK needed to buy a 60GB iPod w/Video Universal Dock Adapter?

  • Which universal dock adapter and connection

    Hi,
    I like to find out which dock adapter is right for the ipod video 30GB? and does the new ipod accept USB 2.0 connection only? I tried firewire and it doesn't accept the connection,
    thanks for reading,
    Tom

    My new 60gb doesn't fit in the dock that I had for my older 4th gen iPod. Although they are the same width. I think that you have to buy the new dock as it might be the only one that worrks with the 5th gen iPod.
    No unfortunately Apple has dumped FireWire support for these new iPods, you can only sync with USB 2.0. Although I was dissapointed to see FireWire go USB 2.0 is pretty much the same speed.

  • 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.

  • Universal Dock Adapter Help

    Hi All,
    I just received my 60gb 5g ipod and universal dock. I am having trouble with the dock adapter and wondering if anyone had the same problems or insight into my problem.
    The adapter I got is labeled 9. It seems to be clearly too small to fit the 60gb ipod, looks like would be good for the 30gb. With it in the universal dock...there is only about 2-3 mm of space...which is not enough for the 60gb it seems to me... as far as reference it looks like the adapter that came with the universal dock for the 20gb ipod (#'s 4 and 6). I tried using the adapter for the 40gb and that actually lets the ipod go in and connect. But still not the perfect fit that I am looking for.
    Thanks for any input or help.
    Did other people with the 60gb 5g ipod have the number 9 adapter?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    Go to the Apple Store online, 3 pack, $9.
    I'll make it easy for you: click

  • Do I get an Universal Dock Adapter for the iPod nano 7. gen?

    I allready have the universal dock connector, but with the new Lightning Connector it is not working.
    I can't imagine to connect the new iPod nano with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter?!
    Will the iPod fit the universal dock with it?
    Anyone with some experiences to share?
    Thanks!

    I am affraid that the iPod will not stay in place and tip over if i place the Lighting to 30-pin adapter on top on my universal dock and then attach my iPod to it!
    There must be a better solution!
