My ipod classic is not charging. It plays but does not charge. Did anyone else experience this? Is there a spec that I missed for a dock to charge?

Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (7th Generation) NEWEST MODEL Does it work with the above docking system?

well, this is disappointing. this dock works perfectly when playing music and sounds great. but like everybody else, no video on my ipod classic either. will keep this dock but will monitor this discussion, hoping apple can fix this problem.

Check to see if there is a problem with the cable... if you have the dock try a different usb cable... if both a new cable and the dock fail and it will not charge with the usb cord separately then the unit is most likely broken and needs service by Sony

Hello, no it will not charge it. the iPod dock actually sucks... It went down on me after the first month! but if decide too, you could always get an adapter to switch it to an iPod 5.

fannie lou, sounds like you got a lemon. I'd return if it was me. And regardless would return it since you already have docking systems. The charging issue is a known one, if you have older docking systems, it may likely not work. New docking systems will most likely work. That does suck. My attitude is that the Nano 4th gen is great for first time ipod users like myself (who will buy new docking stations anyway), not so good for existing users.

My experience was that I did just that....plugged in my ipod cord and played the music, no extra app required. However, two things happened: a) the ipod's battery was depleted (for some reason, I expected one of the two-pronged cords would provide a charge) and b) the system's preset buttons became unresponsive to the touch. I unplugged the ipod and reset the preset buttons and I've had no problems at all since then (several months ago) - however, I haven't bothered to use the ipod since then. It may have had nothing at all to do with b).....

I saw a comment concerning a dock for my Ipod (classic 160 GB). Do I need a dock for mine to use this. Also, what kind of range does this offer?

I have an 80g classic -- I hope that it works. I can't get the case open to put the new battery in. I've looked at on line videos to see how to open the case -- and you should do that (there's a tricky way to unhook the old battery -- if you don't do it right, you ruin the ipod) -- and I still can't get ti open. If I had it all to do over again, I'd take it to an Apple store or send it to one of the online repair shops (best Buy, etc can't work on them.

battery is gone on my 5gen classic ipod and only works when plugged in to its old charger. Does not run with new classic charger. Will this drive it?

It doesn't really stay in dock mode for me. If it actually goes into dock mode, and you have a music shortcut on the dock screen (which can be customized) you can play music through the speakers while charging. But if you end up pressing the home key and taking it out of dock mode, it stops playing through the apeakers and the you'll have to undock/redock again to play through the speakers. Its really annoying. If you end up getting this dock and figure out a fix, please let me know!

I tried charging both my Itouch and my Ipad in the hub but neither one of them will charge if only plugged into this hub. The response I get is "charging is not supported with this accessory".

If you have an iPod on the dock (as shown in the images), it will charge the device. If you wish to play music without charging, you can use the aux-in at the back of the dock.

There is no docking station, so it doesn't matter. You have to use a USB cord to connect to your iPod, so whatever charging device you got with the iPod can be connected to the radio/docking station. (To the extent you can get it to work; my problem has been that it doesn't...) The image makes it look as if you're insert the iPod or the iPhone to charge or play, but actually what is provided is simply a place to rest it and make it LOOk as if it's charging. You need a cord to link the two.

I don't have an IPod Classic, but I have used this with ipod touches, and nanos, iphones, android phone, and computers, etc. Pretty much anything with a headphone jack. Good sound for the price!!! Hope this helps

I would troubleshoot the device first....try using a different USB port first to make sure it's not just a faulty USB port...If it still doesn't work the device may be defective.....Also make sure your IPod is working because it might be the IPod that's defective and not the charging dock. Good luck
