What docking stations work with the ipad 4?

I want to get my daughter a speaker docking station for her ipad 4, if possible not more than £50. All the ones i've looked at seem to be compatible with the older ipads and will work with version 4 but only if you plug a cable in which seems to defeat the object!
Has anyone bought one or know of any please?

Well, I don't have any specific recommendations, since I've never used them myself.  There are so many choices, just make sure the specs say it works with your older iPod model.
If you get a "plain" dock (like that Universal Dock), or an older version (no remote control) for cheap on eBay, it's not just for connecting to computers.  It has a audio output jack (that gets a high quality line out signal from the iPod's dock connector).  You can connect that to your stereo system's auxilliary input, or to any powered speakers (the type people connect to computers).  For power, connect the docking cable to a USB power adapter instead of a computer's USB port.
And you can connect it to your computer too.  Plus, if the speakers go bad (or you want better ones), you don't have to throw the whole gadget away.  Just get new speakers, keep the dock.

  • What docking station works with the ipod touch 4th generation?

    What docking station is works with the ipod touch 4th generation?  We have a Bose docking station which I'm having trouble getting it to fit onto.

    Gal:
    I'm not exactly clear what your question is.
    How does the system you have been given not work with your iPod? What is the problem?
    What is your point about the 4th generation adaptor? The "adaptor" is merely a physical piece of plastic that sits in the Docking Station's dock and creates the exact shape for your model of iPod to fit snugly into it. So a 1st or 2nd generation iPod would not benefit in any way from a 4th gen adaptor.
    Are you trying to find a portable iPod Docking Station that works without mains power?
    You said: " the customer service agent said it would make the iPod fit, but it wouldn't charge or play music." What is your point about charging the iPod? I don't understand what you are trying to say. I presume that the system you've been given does charge a 1st and 2nd gen iPod.
    The product you linked to looks portable to me. So why does it not suit your needs, is this about using it out in the garden (my question 2)?
    Less complicated in what way? What exactly are you finding complicated? Simply place the iPod into the Docking Station and (presumably) select the iPod input and press play.

  • Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ?

    I am very interested in this product. But not sure if Boynq iCube Docking Station work with iPod Video ? Has anyone out there with a ipod video also has this. Does it dock well with say iPod Video 30G ?

    as long as it has the same connecter it should be fine.
    if you get one make sure the ipod fits in the cradle well.
    if it wiggles too much or seems to be leaning further back than it should either put something around it to keep it standing up or return it and get a different kind.

    Wifi is not available where I come from. I have broadband connection where data transmission is through cell sites then to USB modem connected to a computer. The modem draws power from the computer. Will this setup work with the ipad?

    iPad requires Wifi (or 3G /LTE) to connect to the Internet. You cannot connect a USB modem to the iPad.
    You can create your own WiFi hotspot through your computer for your iPad to connect to, if your computer supports this functionality. All Wifi Macs and many Wifi PCs do. Check your computer manual for how to do it.

  • Small CF card reader that works with the iPad Camera Kit?

    I'm looking for a small (not much bigger than a CF card) CF Card reader that works with the iPad Camera kit (USB piece) - Anyone know of one?
    All the ones I see people suggesting are big and bulky (made for a desktop). I know there are many smaller ones, but that the iPad camera kit doesn't work with everyone. Anyone know one that works with it?

    My set up, quite compact for travel, this is a no brand version but I have seen other ones branded Integra or something similar.

    You want the newer Lightning to USB Camera Adaptor.

    The old Camera Connection Kit also works and I use it on my iPad 4, however, to use this your will need the Lightning to 30 pin adaptor.

  • Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?

    Hi, I know that this might be deemed as stupid but I am just curious: Would Microsoft's surface keyboard work with the ipad air ?
    Is the surface keyboard bluetooth enabled ? If so, then it should work, right?

    No, it would not. The Surface is optimized and uses a different operating system than iOS7.
    I'm pretty sure that both the Surface and iPad Air can use Bluetooth; but Bluetooth peripherals might or might not be recognized.

  • What larger monitors work with the 15" vga G4 iMac

    What larger monitors work with the 15" vga G4 iMac?

    It is not so much how large but rather a question of resolution and how it would look on a larger monitor than the original.
    All iMac G4 15-inchers supported: 640x480; 800x600; and 1024x768 at a fixed 4:3 ratio--no provision for widescreen. The old rule of thumb for decent clarity for 4:3 ratio CRT monitors was:
    15-inch monitor supports 640x480
    17-inch supports 800-x600
    19 to 20 inch supports 1024x768
    I believe you would find the same issues with an older 4:3 flat-panel monitor.
    Also the iMacs can only mirror the resolution set on the built-in monitor so you can't have the external one set differently nor use it for extended desktop. If you set the built-in to 640x480 (would look nice at 15 inches) you are going to get 640x480 on the external regardless of how big it is. On a 19-20 incher, 640x480 could start to look pixelated.

  • Will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    will the ipod docking station work for the iphone5?

    Which iPod is it?
    If it's the newest generation iPod dock, then it probably won't as the new iPod is much thinner than the iPhone 5. It also depends on the shape of the dock (if it has a thin space for the iPod device). Do you think you could add a picture. I will give a more direct suggestion of you can.
