Universal Dock and Remote

I just bought a Transpod for my iPod VIDEO. I'm asking if the transpod is a universal dock. Also, if i by a universal dock with a remote, can i use the remote in my car?

The dock will NOT allow video out from the nano, although it will allow audio line out, syncing, and charging.

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...

Ipod Classic 80gb won´t work with apple universal dock and remote

I own 2 ipods a 5th generation 60gb and an ipod classic 60gb. I've just bought an apple universal dock with remote and the original apple component and composite AV cables. I connected the universal dock to my TV via the composite cable, with my ipod 5th gen I can watch videos on the TV and control the ipod with the apple remote but when I connect my ipod classic to the universal dock it will charge but I can´t get any video out or control the ipod with the remote. It's as if the ipod classic doesn't recognize the universal dock and it keeps showing the connect the video accessory screen, even when i tried using the apple component AV cable. I dont think the problem is with the universal dock because it works fine with my Ipod video 60gb, but with my Ipod Classic 80gb the remote control and video out won't work at all, i can´t even control the playback of audio playlists. Does anyone know why that is happenning? Please help me!

I have the Classic 80gb also...same probem. I retuned the Apple Universal Dock and purchased one that was half the price. Pluged it in and it works perfectly! So my advice would be to save some money and get products that work.

Ipod universal dock and remote doesnt work!!!!!

I'm fairly new to the whole apple and ipod thing, i bought an ipod nano last week and bought a universal dock with remote today (proper apple one), but the menu button on the remote doesnt work(it does on the ipod itself but thats not the point) so i cant go 'back' from an album i'm playing to find another one i want to play. the volume works fine as does the track back and forth and play pause. But my menu button on the remote doesnt work, this is incredibly frustrating!!!!!
Can anyone help?
one more thing it's not a fault with the remote as my brother has a mac mini with a remote which works fine with his, but the menu button again isnt recognised on my dock!

If you read the manual, you'll see that the menu button is for other devices, but not our Nano's. Apple doesn't make this clear on it's website, IMO. Had I known this, I would not have bought a u-dock. Plus, when my Nano is docked, I can't use the lower 1/3 of the wheel, as the Nano sits too low for my fingers to reach. It's going back to the store next week.

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?

IPod, Apple Universal Dock and Remote

Hello everyone,
So I have this 3-years-old 3g iPod, a 4th generation that still has black and white display and no video. Yesterday I just bought this Apple Universal Dock on a discount which has an IR receiver, audio output but no s-video output (i think it is an old version of the dock).
The dock and the ipod works fine. My ipod does sometimes act funny like I can't auto-sync all my songs to the ipod but has to do it manually. But it works fine with the dock, charging and cleanly put the songs to the speakers just fine.
Until I get my remote out from my macbook. I read it on the net that it is supposed to work with the dock as well. I've tried pairing it many times with the dock but still, not even volume up/down can be controlled from the remote. But the remote still works well with the macbook.
Is this because simply my 3G iPod is, uhm, too old?

Ok, I think you have the newer version of the dock (Apple removed the S-Video out in 2007). Yes the remote should work, what do you mean by "paired".
And,

Which iPod is it a 3g or 4th gen?

After updating my iphone 3G and my ipodtouch 3G ios5, universal dock and remote control doesn´t work

After updating my iphone 3G and my ipotouch 3G with ios5, the apple remote controls (the white and the aluminium one) doesn´t react when iphone or ipod are docked at the universal dock. The remote controls both still work with my Macbook, therefore it must be a problem with the dock. I have tried to connect both with the dock (Menu + left for 6 seconds) but it doesn´t help. Further the volume control doesn´t react on the iphone and the ipod when they are docked. Neither the one on the touchscreen nor the buttons. The day before the update everything was fine. Anyone any idea?
Thanks!

Look at the previous posts on the right under the heading: "More Like This". I appears that others are having the same problem.

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.

Mini with new universal dock and IR remote

I just got a new universal dock and IR remote for use with a Mini. It seems like the only controls on the remote that work are Next, Prev, and Play/Pause. Neither of the Volume buttons or the Menu button do anything. Is this normal? Is there any advanced information available for the new IR remote and dock (the manuals aren't very helpful)?

The description would make you think otherwise...
"Control your iPod from afar. Play, pause, control volume and skip forward and back between songs from across the room with the Apple Remote."
It goes on to say that the Menu button is for use with the Mac.
"When you click the Apple Remote's Menu button, your desktop fades and Front Row's sleek interface takes its place to give you control over your music in iTunes, your photos in iPhoto, the videos in your Movies folder and whatever DVDs you want to play."

Universal Dock's remote doesn't work with iPhone Photos

Has anyone tried Universal Dock's remote with iPhone Photos? I can't get it to work.
The remote does work with iPhone music and video though.

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?

Does Av digital adapter works with the universal dock for remote control?

if I only connect the Lightning to 30 pin adapter to the universal dock for remote control it works so good with music, spotify, Netflix, YouTube etc.
but if I add the av digital lightning adapter to watch on Tv, the dock and remote control don't work anymore what can I do? I want to watch stuff on tv and use the IR dock for remote control please help me what's going wrong?

Thanks for your advice.
I recently purchased a universal dock for my iphone 3g. It works great. I just had one question. When my iphone is sitting on it for lets say 20 - 30 minutes. Then if i press the buttons on the remote. nothing happens! If I then press the home button while it is on the cradle then, the remote, it plays music. There after lets say if I stop stop the music through the remote and again press the remote button after a few minutes it starts playing. So what happens after a long time. Why do i have to press the home button on the iphone for the remote to work. Is that how it is supposed to work???
Thanks

Universal Dock and signals

This is a two part question (and pardon my lack of correct terminology):
1) I am planning to buy the newer universal dock and apple remote to hook up my Ipod to my stereo. When I do this, would the volume be totally controlled by my stereo (similar to all other components)?
2) Related to #1, is the signal that come out of the bottom connector of the Ipod line, variable, or amplified (maybe incorrect terminology)? My hope is that it is NOT amplified so it will provide the cleanest signal to my stereo possible.
Thanks in advance.

To answer your question about number 2, the signal that comes out is not amplified. It is a clean signal that is not distorted or helped. This is different than the signal that come out of the headphone jack which has some amplification (obviously because of the headphones). I hope this helps. If you are wondering about distortion when being played on your stereo, I would use the dock or a signal that comes out of the base. In my untechnical opinion, this would be the better signal. Of course, I am not an electrical engineer, so any electrical engineers please correct me. I hope this helps.
