USB Dock connector

Hi,
I recently bought a new video ipod. I lost my dock connector used to upload the videos. so i bought a new charger which is of some other company, Now I am unable to load the videos into it. I can hear only the sound but unable to see the video. Does only the apple ipod usb cable works or any company's usb cable is fine.Please respond to my query.

"I can hear only the sound but unable to see the video."
On your iPod go to "Videos / Video Settings".
Then select "TV Out" and either set it to "off" or "ask".
Also, make sure you are accessing the video through the videos menu. If you have a video mixed in an audio playlist and you access it through that, you also won't be able to see the video.

Nano + FW/USB dock connector cable ?

I have my 3G iPod dock that I connect using Apple's FW+USB cable:
http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71606/wo/O84Nz4a VKoBc3zmbmpbqLHKdgS8/1.0.15.1.0.6.25.7.11.0.3
(Gotta love those super-short Apple URLs.)
The cable's USB connector goes to my PC for data transfer and the FW connector goes to a power brick. I don't run my computer all the time, and this way the iPod gets juice even when my PC is off.
Is this FW/USB cable safe to use with my new iPod nano? The product page doesn't mention the nano, but that could be an oversight. I'd like to keep using the same cable to sync/charge both of my iPods.
Thanks.

USB connection kit with Charging Dock connector?

Hey guys,
I am planning on buying the Apple USB dock connector in order to connect a midi device to my iPad to use with music apps. Im afraid of the battery dying as I'm recording and editing though and was wondering if anyone knew of a cable that also allowed me to plug the charging dock cable into my iPad at the same time as the USB?
A bit like a USB+DockConnector---> Dock connector cable?
Thanks alot,
Aaron.

Googling "Camera connection kit" or searching eBay for the same finds many third-party connectors that appear to do what you want, such as this, but I have no idea as to quality or functionality. At least they're cheap enough not to worry about wasting significant money finding out.

Iphone USB/Dock autoradio doesn't work anymore

Hi,
After upgrading my iphone 4 to the latest ios6, i just went crazy about the usb dock ipod fonction of my iphone 4 in my car: i just can't use next/prev... the song just continue until the end and the iphone get stuck in pause !
I saw the same problem with bluetooth streaming from another users...but i'm using the usb dock connector (with a pioneer 8300 BT autoradio)...it's just crazy, doens't the ios6 went from a couple of month of beta testing before it was released ?
If it's a bug can we expect a relase date for a...patch ? because it's just unusable anymore in a car...and i'm seriously thinking about downgrading to the previous ios...if it's possible of course.
Thanks for your reply,
Cya
Seb
Bonjour,
Après avoir mis à jour mon iphone 4 avec la version 6 d'ios, je me suis apercu ce WE que les fonctions avancer/reculer ne fonctionnent plus sur l'autoradio. J'ai vu que d'autres utilisateurs rencontraient les mêmes problèmes avec le stream bluetooth mais j'utilise pour ma part le connecteur USB qui utilise le connecteur dock de l'iphone...
Je n'arrive pas a comprendre comment un bug comme celui-là à pu passer au travers de vos beta...
Avez-vous une date pour un correctif qui résoudrait ce dysfonctionnement car la fonction ipod est juste inutilisable en l'état en voiture...ou alors si c'est possible de downgrader en ios 5.1 par exemple ?
Merci
Sebastien

had the same problem. washed my hands. solved

Male micro USB to female apple dock connector

Hey there does anybody know where I can get a male micro USB to female apple dock connector cable from?
Many thanks

What I would do is use the male to male iPhone cable that came with it, attach a female to male micro usb adapto and a female dock connector coupler.

Apple's Dock Connector will become mini-USB?!!?

Hi everybody, I heard that: from 2011 Apple and other Mobile phone makers are planing to use mini-USB port as a universal charging connector! I just want to know, what will happens to Dock connector? replace with a mini-USB port, or what?
and then what about the speaker docks?! they'll become useless for apple's new products?! and itunes will work with a USB connection?!

Speculation is not allowed in the forums.

Can I connect iPod (with dock connector) with just a USB connector?

My mother-in-law gave my daughter her old iPod (with dock connector). It was supposed to come with an adapter that converts the 6-pin firewire cable to a USB cable (you are supposed to plug the 6-pin into the dock connector to charge it, then use the adapter to connect to your computer). We never got The adapter, so I just used USB connector from my own iPod nano to connect the old iPod into the computer. All kinds of error messages. I've now restored the iPod and it seems to be working, but I'm afraid to plug it back in using just the USB cable. Is it possible to connect the USB cable directly from the iPod to the computer without the adapter? Or could the problem be that I have also use my iPod nano on this computer? Thanks for any help you can provide.

A 15GB iPod would have to be a 3rd gen iPod. It has a touch (not click) wheel with four touch buttons in a row that glow orange during use, correct? That model needs to be connected using FireWire, because it cannot charge over USB.
If your new Mac has a Thunderbolt port, you can get an adapter for FireWire
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
plus an adapter for FireWire 800 to FireWire 400
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
Another way, if you have the square white FireWire power adapter that came with your iPod, is to get a special docking cable that Apple used to sell a long time ago. It has both USB and FireWire connectors. Here's a listing for a third-party version on eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vanco-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-1-USB-1-FireWire-Cable-/2 71074766489?pt=US_MP3_Player_Chargers_Cradles&hash=item3f1d50ae99
(Search on "FireWire USB iPod docking cable" to see other listings.)
What you do with this thing is plug the USB connector to your Mac's USB port, the FireWire connector to the FireWire power adapter, and the dock connector to the iPod. iPod can then sync over USB while getting power over FireWire.
I would go with that special cable, to avoid using a series of adapters (which adds complexity and unreliability) and tying up the valuable Thunderbolt port for just your iPod.

Will one day "ipod with dock connector" be able to be charged by USB cable?

Hi,
this question has just popped into my mind
a moment ago. it might be very useful if
one day they'll grant us to be able to do that.
but if this request seemed to be too far
from hardware capability, i'd stop thinking
about it.
could anyone give me a clue? any support teams?
Thanks,
p/s hope i'd called my ipod right, it's the
one with four buttons outside the wheel, and
it is not a clickwheel one. "ipod with dock
connector" right? :] thank you again

Hi Kenekeu
I just wanted to chime in and bump this thread. Although I've posted here several times about this exact problem, with no solution found yet, and no response from Apple. I tried rebooting into windows (via bootcamp) and reformatting my ipod from there. However when I downloaded the older version of the ipod updater, i was told that it was expired and a newer version was available (sigh). So I now have a windows formatted ipod that still won't connect via firewire.
I am still able to mount and transfer songs via USB in mac OSX. Luckily I had one of those dual usb/firewire cables, which plugs into the plug charger via firewire, and into the computer via USB at the same time, so my ipod doesn't lose charge.
Hopefully there'll be a fix soon, because this is really frustrating. I've had this ipod for a couple years, and was always proud that it lasted this long... and now this.

Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable PROBLEM

I had my iPhone plugged into my Mac book at the coffee shop this weekend using the dock connector to USB cable. After a while, I kept getting a message on my phone that said "This accessory is not compatible with your device. Would you like to turn on Airplane mode?"
I thought this was odd since the connector was an Apple product; I've never seen this message before, and I've had my iPhone plugged into my laptop several times before.
I didn't think anything of it, so I kept selecting 'No' after getting this message repeatedly. I had no reason to question the integrity of my iPhone or its accessories since I don't misuse or mistreat anything ever.
After a while, I looked down and noticed white smoke coming out of where the cable connects to the phone! I immediately unplugged everything and noticed the burnt and melted section of the connector part and in the phone itself. I left my phone unplugged until I could get to the Apple store.
I have to say, I believe these cables are not made very well. Luckily, the Apple store replaced my phone and my cable for free without any hassle. I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Is Apple doing anything about this?

Doing anything about what ? Other people's faulty computers which go over voltage and fry iPhones ?
The initial message you got is indicative of a short circuited or dirty dock connector so it was probably dirt on the connector or iPhone which caused the problem. No they aren't likely to. I've never heard of this before but I am glad they replaced your iPhone so swiftly !

Dock connector to usb cable

Just wondering about the dock connector to usb cable that came with my new iPhone 4S:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/B?fnode=MTY1NDAzOQ
I have an iPod 5th Generation (Video), part number MA147LLA which has a very similar connector. I'm wondering if the two are interchangeable. The white part of the iPod dock connector looks a little bigger than the one for the iPhone 4S but the actual connector itself still fits. I'd like to keep one in the car for when I need to do a charge when I'm away.
Anyone else using this same cable with both, their iPod and iPhone?

IPhone3G Not Charging, USB vs Firewire, Dock Connector, BMW iPod kit, etc

If find my Mini/BMW iPod kit will not charge my iPhone3G so I did some reading on this problem and here is what I found. There's about a million or more people complaining.
The dock connector specification simply has pins mapped to both the USB and Firewire interface. It has other interfaces as well--like video and audio. Both USB and Firewire include power lines on the interface, USB - 5 volts, Firewire - 12 volts. The power comes from the computer/car/etc to power the devices like an iPod/iPhone.
The iPhone3G is perhaps the first dock connector device that no longer supports Firewire in any form. So if a computer, car, etc, provides 12V power only to the doc connector--the Firewire interface--it will not charge the iPhone3G battery.
It ***** that Apple made this change, but being a hardware engineer, I can undstand the value in dropping support for an unpopular interface and an additional voltage regulation.
There is no use in complaining as this cannot and will not be fixed. Look for an aftermarket adapter.
-hjb-

I found this soon after I bought my IPHONE:
http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/connector.htm?connipod.htm
I haven't received mine yet so i can't say yea or nye.
I took a "Griffin PowerJolt Car Charger for iPhone or iPod (Black)" and modified it to hardwire into my fuse block in my Infiniti G35X. This is just for charging though.

20 GB iPod (dock connector) and 60 GB USB cord

Wonder if anyone can help me out with this...
Back in January of 2004 I bought a new 20 GB touch wheel iPod with a dock connector (hence, it came with a firewire cord to connect it to the charger and the computer). In September of 2005 I purchased a 60 GB color display iPod (the fat one, not the ones that show movies) and that came with a USB cord rather than firewire. My firewire cord from the 20 GB works on the 60 GB, however it does not appear that the USB cord from the 60 GB works with the 20 GB. I wanted to give the 20 GB to a friend who has a PC and therefore does not have a firewire port, but if he can't use the firewire cord and the USB cord doesn't seem to work with the 20 GB, then he can't connect the 20 GB to his computer--so he's out of luck. My question is, should the USB cord from the 60GB work with the 20GB, or is there a USB cord that I can purchase that WOULD work with the 20GB or should I just forget about this idea?
Thanks

But what is there to guarantee that buying another USB cable would work? I want to give him the USB cable that came with the 60GB, but it doesn't work with the 20GB... if he buys another one, how am I to know that he won't have two USB cords that don't work with the 20GB? Are there different kinds of USB cords, some that would work with the 20GB and others that wouldn't?

Faulty USB port message & froozen iPod with picture of dock connector

Hello,
I've got a problem with a faulty USB port. I've been connecting my 3rd gen iPod (2003, touch wheel, dock connector) to my windows using computer for year - but today it doesn't work. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and was about to syn/upload my iTunes library to my iPod but then computer says I have a faulty USB connection. There is nothing wrong with the USB ports. The iPod shows a picture of the dock connector, and then shuts down. I've tired resetting the iPod but the same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Andrea

the new updater is screwing up 3rd and 4th generation ipods. you can buy a new ipod at your local electronics store.

IPOD dock connector touch wheel in New BMW with built in USB connection

HELP! I have a 2008 BMW 5 series that came with a built in USB Ipod connector.
I have an older IPOD dock connector touch wheel that plugs right in to the plug that BMW gave me but won't read on the display.I tried another plug and still, the Ipod is not working in the car. Do I have to download additional software? Is my Ipod model not compatible with the new BMW ipod system. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Are you hoping to have the iPod serviced by Apple or a third party repair company? If you want Apple to do the service, see this link.

How do you get sound through the dock connector to a PC or Mac?

Where I work they have blocked the Pandora website. (Along with just about every other online radio site.) They don't mind if we listen to music, as long as it's not streamed online through their network.
I have both a PC & a Mac on my desk.
What I would like to do is listen to my Pandora app from my iPhone by plugging the dock connector into a Mac or PC. This would keep the battery drain to a minimum & allow for better quality.
When I plug in the dock connector the phone starts charging & iTunes want's to sync. I can run the Pandora app, but no sound comes through the computer.
Does anyone know how to get the audio to come from the dock connector & play through the computers sound card?

You have several choices:
1. Composite AV Cable: has a dock connector on one end and USB, RCA line out and RCA composite video on the other. It also comes with an AC Adaptor.
2. Component AV Cable: same as the Composite AV Cable but with RCA component video.
3. Universal Dock: has a dock connector socket on it and a line out socket.
4. iPhone 3G Dock or the (original iPhone Dock): same as the Universal Dock but designed just for the iPhone.
All you need is somewhere to plug the line out into.
