  • 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?

  • 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?

  • Original iPhone, latest firmware, universal dock, composite AV cable ...

    and a plasma tv...
    I am trying to watch some ITunes U movies on my plasma set while working out. So i buy a universal dock, the composite AV cable for the iPhone, hook it all up and try to watch an episode. What happens is that the video on the iPhone becomes frozen with the title, and i get sound but no video on the Plasma. The Plasma (having S-Video and Video in connectors) displays S-Video as the input source...
    So, a basic, stupid question. If i have, let's say an HD video on the iPhone, and try to play this over TV Out, is that supposed to work over a composite cable? Or do i need to convert those videos to 576i first? Meaning, does the iphone do any kind of conversion on the fly for the signal, or not?
    If it does, what else could be the problem here?
    Frank

    Frank,
    I am able to play videos from my iPhone using composite cables. I have a Panasonic plasma TV and when I first tried to play a video I found It would not play using my normal "cable" setting. I had to use the remote control that came with my TV and select another "cable" setting, after which it played perfectly (sound and picture). Finally,make sure that the input jacks are pushed in all the way.

  • Your thoughts.. lack of functionality Apple Universal Dock Remote Control

    Most of us that toy around with the a/v out capabilities of the Touch are aware that standard remote control functionality is not currently available with the Apple Universal Dock remote. I can understand how mapping the multi-touch functionality to the remote's 'standard iPod wheel' functionality is like mapping apples (no pun intended) to oranges. But, I would imagine a firmware update could do the trick. However, I think it would be really cool (and expensive) to create a mini multi-touch remote.
    I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.
    I have posted my enhancement request, firmware upgrade first.. new remote second... to Apple's feedback site... please send in your comments if you feel the same way I do... they do listen...

    What happens when you try to use the remote with an iPod touch in an Apple Universal Dock? I'd been thinking of getting Apple's dock/remote, especially because the features guide says,
    You can connect iPod touch to your TV and watch your videos on the larger screen. Use the Apple Component AV Cable, Apple Composite AV Cable, or other iPod touch compatible cable. You can also use these cables with the Apple Universal Dock, available separately, to connect iPod touch to your TV. (The Apple Universal Dock includes a remote, which allows you to control playback from a distance.)
    Does the remote have only limited function, then? What does the remote do, or not do?

  • 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.

  • Universal Dock won´t recharge my 4G Ipod

    I have an old 20 gb 4G Ipod (no colour screen) and I have just bought an Universal Ipod Dock.
    However, I cannot get it to charge my Ipod. I´ve connected it to power via the original power adapter (which has a firewire connection).The playback through the remote and audio-out (to my hifi) works fine though.
    Any idea what the problem is?
    Thanks in advance
    Martin

    I've just experienced the same issue with my 5G Ipod the other day after cleaning the docking station. Suddenly my IPod, which previously recharged without problems, didn't want to recharge anymore. I thought I've broken the dock when cleaning it and therefore bought an Universal dock as replacement(with remote control). I was very surprised when the same problem reoccurred with the new dock. I'm using an old iPod AC power supply via Firewire. If connected to the IPod directly it works without problems, but through the universal dock it won't recharge (anymore!!). Can anyone tell me why previously this wasn't an issue and now all of a sudden it doesn't work? I haven't changed the firmware of my iPod. I can't believe this problem relates to the use of power supply (i.e. firewire vs. USB).

  • 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?

  • Remote and Universal Dock

    Hi guys,
    There's been a few discussion already on the remote and universal dock. Is it difficult for Apple to enable the display of the Ipod screen to the TV-out? You can gain a huge amount of functionality on the Ipod if you can actually see where you are on the menu and remotely navigate it. It just seems strange that I need to walk over to change from one play list to the next even after owning the remote. Apple please take note for this suggestion!
    cheers,

    Nevermind, a hard reset fixed it!

  • Cabling from Apple Universal Dock to TV (with iPhone)

    Folks,
    I am well able to get video signal from my iPhone sitting in my Apple Universal Dock to TV sets (and yes I am using Apple's Composite cable) but audio signal just doesn't come through using this cabling system. When I plug in an additional cable from the roung separatel "LINE OUT" port in the Apple Universal Dock and plug other end of that Y-cable into the audio in ports on the TV, I get the audio.
    I thought the whole idea of using the "component" cable (yellow going into the yellow video port on the TV, red and white going into their respective audio ports on the TV) that the entire video and audio signals were sent out the long'ish horizontal connector from behind the dock and funneled into the red, white, and yellow connectors on the component cable's other end thus making it unnecessary to use both the "line out" port on the dock in addition to the long white horizontal plug.
    What is up here and is there such a thing as one cable that has on one end the long white horizontal type plug as well as a line out plug and on the other end the red, yellow, and white plugs that go into the TV? There is none on the Apple site - just the COMPOSITE cable which is for TVs (the newest types) that offer essentially 5 ports - 3 for just video and 2 for audio.
    What IS the correct way the user is supposed to be doing this????

    I saw the Chart, I got the same problem as last year when I had my iPhone 3G 16GB. Apple NEVER SOLVE the issue and simply put the iPhone 3G being supported in the chart. It's not hard for them to add the 3GS for the next printed update.
    Very dissappointed with Apple on the universal dock and AV component cable combo. They are not cheap either!
    Anyone knows how can I connect the iPhone 3GS to computer monitor or projector just like what they did in WDC?

  • How can I create a Music Video playlist (for Universal Dock)?

    Ok, I created a smart playlist of all my Music Videos but this is a music playlist.
    I want a *Music Video* playlist so that all my music videos will play one after the other without user interaction (when playing in the Universal Dock with it's useless remote control).
    Is this even possible?

    MVP video playlist app is the one you want download

  • 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.

  • IPhone (3,3G,4) does not work with Apple Universal Dock.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch that has been upgraded to iOS 4. My iPod Touch will no longer sync via the Apple Universal Dock. Also, my new iPhone 4 also will not sync via the Apple Universal Dock.

    Trust a geek not to give up. I decided to get to the bottom of the "iOS device does not work with the Apple Universal Dock" problem. I noticed that the iPhone 4 and iPad came with slightly different USB-Dock adapter cables. I wondered if that might be the issue. My Apple Universal Dock was connected to my Mac via the original dock adapter cables which are slightly larger. I connected the newer cables between the Mac and the Apple Universal Dock and .... voila! Both the iPod Touch with iOS 4 and the iPhone can now connect via the Apple Universal Dock. Apple changed something in the way the adapter cables function.
    Of course I still have the problem with the car head unit dock adapter ... Sigh. I'll have to call Best Buy ( uughh! ) and find out if they'll do the update for me. The were the vendor authorized installer.

  • My ipod touch is no longer working with universal dock since downloading the new OS

    I have the Apple Universal Dock.  It had been working fine with my ipod touch.  I just downloaded the new OS and now my ipod touch will not work with the Universal Dock.
    Any ideas?

    Hi grecokev,
    Thank you for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPod nano is no longer recognized by iTunes after an update. Reinstalling iTunes is a good troubleshooting step, and if the device still doesn't appear in iTunes, try the following steps next:
    Turn off your computer and your iOS device or iPod, then turn them on again.
    Check to make sure that you've installed all required updates for your computer.
    Verify that the 30-pin to USB cable or Lightning Connector to USB cable is free of debris and not damaged. If another cable is available, test with that cable instead.
    USB cables that are bundled with third-party products or accessories might work only to charge those products and might not transmit data. Also, if you're using a third-party case or extended battery pack, try removing the case and connecting the Apple-supplied USB cable directly to your device.
    You can find these steps in this troubleshooting article:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
    If the steps above don't solve it, see the section of the article called "Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed" for some additional steps to try on your PC.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy
