Will T420 Laptop Work With T61 Docking Station?

I'm getting ready to replace about 50 T61 laptops with T420. Will my existing docking stations work, or do I need to buy all new docks as well?
Thanks

As said the T420 uses the latest generation of docking station (series 3 docking station), the T43 docking is one generation older than the T61 docking station.

  • IPhone 4 not working with Sony docking station

    Hi guys,
    My iPhone 4 is no longer working with my Sony SRS-GU10 docking station. It connects with the docking station and charges, but there is no sound.
    I've tried to reset my iPhone, but that didn't work. I've turned off the bluetooth and that didn't help. I blew into the iPhone connector and the docking station and got it working for 10mins. It's just strange how it's just stopped working! Just wondering if it's knackered or can be fixed???
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Jen

    Try the solution in the post at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3228386?start=0&tstart=0, it worked for me.

  • I have just got a iPod 5 gen 32gb and lightning adapter but can't get it to work with my docking station it will charge but not play audio please help??

    I have bought a 5th gen iPod and lightning adapter but it won't wrk on my docking station it charges but doesn't play audio? Please help

    Does the dock manufacture say it is compatible with the 5G iPod with iOS 6.0.1?
    Have you went to the manufacturer's support site? Contacted them?
    Try resetting the dock. How you do that depends upon the dock
    Sometimes this works
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Why did my 4th generation iPod touch stop working with my docking station?

    I have an Altec docking station and my iPod suddenly stopped working on it.  The station comes on and makes a beeping noise like it is connected when I insert the iPod.  However, the music will only come out of the iPod.  The docking station will charge the battery on the iPod, so I assume it isn't broken. 

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Remote doesn't work with Universal Docking Station

    Hi
    I have an iPod nano 3rd gen. Whilst in the dock the remote doesn't work at all until I select some music manually using the nano controls. Then I get a response. This is the second docking station from Apple.
    Surely it has been designed to work with the remote as soon as it has been docked to enable scrolling through the menus? There are archived discussions from years ago about the same problem and no solutions! It appears that this product is known to be defective by Apple yet they do nothing and when you call them they act as if the problem doesn't exist. They appear to be selling products that don't work and then do nothing about it.

    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?

  • External hard drive works, but not with a docking station

    hello,
    I'm finding it difficult to use my docking station with my WD Cavier Green 2TB hard drive.
    I know that the hard drive is in perfect working order as it still works with my many different leads and cables i have. But when i plug it in to my docking station i get the "unable to read' message.
    I've checked disk ultility and the hard drive is there but the second name down reads disk1s1 and is greyed out.
    I've read through the countless discussions and opend the ownership (when i plug it in with my many cables) but when i use the dock it claims there's no ownership.
    I've tried verifying and repairing but an error message appears.
    I've tried turning off the hard drive and docking station and turning it back on.
    I've tried restarting my comuter.
    And i've tried using a different cable.
    it just seems odd that a docking station could stop my hard drive being recognised yet plugging it with many cables is fine.
    Is it simply a case of my hard drive not being fully compatible with the docking station? or am i missing something?
    Below is all my specs.

    Hello, I am having a similiar problem. I had an old MacBook that died so I took out the partitioned HDD and put it in an enclosure. The other day I plugged it into my other MacBook and both HDDs appeared (Mac and Bootcamp) but today only Bootcamp will appear. When I run the commands recommended above, I get this:
    It appears as if there are two traditional hard drives? The first and second line? I'm not very Mac savvy so I don't know how to use the chflagg command to make these visible. Ultimately, I want to complete wipe this entire HDD (partition included) so I can have it fresh. Can anyone advise on how to make the Mac partition visible or how to complete wipe it and start fresh?
    Thanks!

  • Since upgrading to ios7 my iPhone 4S will no longer play music through docking station, worked fine before upgrade, it's charging but not playing any music at all

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

  • Cases that will work with Accessory Docks for Bionic

    I am looking for a case that will protect my Bionic and also work with the car and home docks.  Does anyone know what cases will work and still protect the phone well?  I really want the otterbox commuter series, but I doubt that will work with the docks.
    Any help is appreciated

    If motorola follow the pattern they did with the Droid X and X2 you may nor see a case that will work with the dock because the dock wasnt made to accept a case while using it...  I know its crazy but universal docks from Walmart or Best Buy is the only way to make this possible.

  • I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light.

    I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and have recently upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now airport utility won't work with my base station so I bought a Time Capsule. For the life of me I can't make the substitution work and only see a blinking amber light. Can anyone who has made this change offer some advice?

    The Utility transferred all of the AE's settings, so I still have to change the password, which leaves me with only 2 other questions, I think:
    1)  I assume it's just a matter of using the Utility, entering a stronger password and checking for it to be remembered in Keychain Access.  But do I have to  change the password for each individual unit-- the TC, the Extreme and both Expresses-- or will changing it just for the TC alone work for the entire network?
    Resetting the password you will need to do for each device... the utility cannot even see those old units.
    So you will have to do it for each one.. think it through.. because as you change passwords the others will lose connection.. so start from the express which are wireless extending .. change those first.. and go back up the chain.. as each one changes it will drop off the network.. until you reach extreme and change that. Then you might need to reboot the whole network to get everything talking again. If something goes wrong.. just pluck that one out of the mix and plug in ethernet.. reset and redo the setup. That is my preferred method anyway.. do everything in isolation one by one. By ethernet and then nothing goes wrong.
    2)  Who's the treasonous SOB who spilled the beans to you about the ICBM in my back yard?!?
    N.Korean hackers.
    [Edit] Whoops-- one more question:  I want to partition the TC's disk, but Disk Utility doesn't see it.  What do I need to do?
    You cannot partition a network disk. And apple provided no tools for it in the TC itself. You can pull the disk out and partition it but that voids your warranty. (although done with care who is to know).
    Look at Q3 here.

    Mixing TM and data on the TC is worth planning carefully. They don't necessarily sit happily together.

  • What case works with the dock

    Hey, I'm looknig for a case that will work with the dock. Are there any out there? I really like using the dock to sync my phone and I'm not happy loosing that feature in order to use a case.
    I'm already aware that the iSee case will not work with the dock http://www.contourcase.com/isee/iseeiphone/ . What about the other cases out there?

    This looks like it might do the trick:

  • Will MA591G/B work with iPad 3 ?

    Will MA591G/B work with iPad 3 ?
    http://store.apple.com/au-hed/product/MA591G/B?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE

    In the photo the connector looks the same, BUT in the "Compatibility" section it only lists iPad 1 & 2.
    Other accessories have listing in "compatibility" section for iPad 1, 2,& 3, I thought this might be incompatible as iPad 3 isn't listed.
    I don't have a problem with the cable I have { I don't think I do, anyhow }  I am wanting to have the extra cable in my Lounge room and one in Bedroom.
    Will these allow me to connect to the Apple iPad Dock located on : http://store.apple.com/au/product/MC940ZM/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjE ?

  • New iPhone &iPad 2 working with Extreme Base Station Model A1034

    iPad 2 worked with Extreme Base Station Model A1034. Now new iPhone and now neither can connect to the Base Station. What could be the reason for the iPad 2 to stop working with the Base Station and why can't the iPhone use the Base Station? Thank you!

    At this point are you saying that none of your wireless clients can connect to the AirPort? If so, then I would recommend that you do the following:
    I would recommend that you do the following as a minimum:
    Power-down the modem, AirPort base station, and computer(s).
    Power-up the modem; wait at least 10-15 minutes to allow it adequate time to initialize.
    Power-up the AirPort base station; wait at least 5-10 minutes. Note: The AirPort's status light may continue to flash amber after it has intialized. That is because, there may be some additional configuration items necessary, like setting up wireless security, before the overall setup is completed to get a green status.
    Power-up your computer(s).
    If the above steps do not solve the problem, start over with step 1 above, but then perform the next steps between steps 1 & 2. above.
    Disconnect the AirPort base station from the Internet broadband modem.
    While all of the devices are powered-down, perform a "factory default" reset on the base station. This will get it back to its "out-of-the-box" configuration and make setting it up much easier, especially if you use the "Assist me" process within the AirPort Utility. (ref:Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule)
    After the base station resets, go ahead and power it back down.
    Reconnect the AirPort base station to the Internet broadband modem. For the Extreme and Time Capsule, be sure to connect the cable to the base station's WAN (circle-of-dots) port.
    Continue with step 2 in the first set of steps.
    In this basic configuration, the AirPort base station will broadcast an unsecured wireless network with a Network Name (SSID) of Apple Network NNNNNN. Network clients, connected to the base station either by wire or wireless, should now be able to access the Internet through the ISP's modem. Once Internet connectivity has been verified, you can use the AirPort Utility to configure the base station for wireless security and any other desired options. Please post back your results.
