Hi. I just bought and successfully installed it into my iPod 7th Gen with a 32gb compact flash. When I power up the iPod I get a big RED X...HELP

If you are getting a big RED X then that means that your iPod doesn't recognise the memory and the CF card. What you can probably do is to reverse the cable or the CF card and slot it again. When I say reverse then that means if your point one of the data cable is starting from the left side up then reverse it so it starts at the right side bottom. There maybe a fault with the cable so you may have to double check on that. Either way the problem seems to be that your iPod is not detecting memory and that is why the BIG RED X. Ensure that you have connected the data cables in the right way because there are less chances of your new CF card or your new CF converter card to malfunction. GOODLUCK!

Ahhhhh....so you were sent the wrong Altec Lansing docking station. I still haven't ordered another one from Amazon yet. I was thinking about taking my IPOD touch (2nd Gen/16 GB) in to Target or Wal-Mart to try it on their docking stations. Has anyone ever tried that??Also, GM...I went through A.L. Tech support and none of the adaptors worked either. By the way, did you get a white plastic adaptor that came with your IPOD??? I found one here and it has 16 written on it. The black ones that I sent back to Amazon all had different numbers.Thanks,Seaturtlelady

The worse thing about this is the fact that they know about the issue but don't have a solution. I have the same issue with my iPod touch so am returning the product. It's basically false advertising and they should clearly state the compatibility issue or be liable.

Well,ds s what i did,i order a 2nd gen lcd screen 4 my ipod 3g because i did some research before i order it & it seems dat if i had order d lcd screen 4 a 3rd gen wouldn't work right,so i did order d 2nd gen lcd screen & m having a few problems with it,but at least s working 4 d most part so m not complaining,it was my first time doing it,& before dat d ipod wouldn't wok it all... ( d power button doesn't work & sometimes d screen doesn't react as fast as i touch on it,i guess s cuz of d 3rd gen ipod having a 2nd gen screen) it was my fault anyways :) thanks for caring.

same problem over here! I just got mine yesterday. It's the pink one, 160gb. Everything else works cherry so far. For me, the mic is not worth the hassle of returning since i will probably rarely use it (if ever). If there is a fix though, I'd definitely love to know! Thanks for starting this discussion!

I had the same result. Very annoying. If you already have the older cable you just need to buy the adapter from Apple. Wish I knew that before I ordered this.

I have the 3rd generation (new one) 32 GB IPOD Touch. Works great with this unit. Only problem. The IPOD played perfectly with the default dock adapter, but is a little jiggly. I took that adapter out and replaced it with the one that came with my IPOD. I could not get enough clearance. The IPOD wouldn't make the connection - wouldn't play. I replaced it with the adapter it came with. No one else has this complaint. Plays great music. Also, it's my understanding that the 2nd and 3rd gen IPOD Touch are identical physically, so it shouldn't be a problem. To be safe, this is available in store at Target for $79. 90 day return policy.

I'm afraid I had the same problem, a 5th generation iPod that fits into the adapter that wasn't recognized. I never got it to work. I ended up having to get a refurbished 6th generation iPod, which does work.

I just bought 30 gb video ipod. I get about 6 hours playing music and maybe 2 hours with video.I was told thats normal. I use it work and all the usb port are disabled here. After reading these posts, looks like instead of buying a AC charger I should just replace it with another one. Still with in return policey time.

Esteban thanks a bunch!!!! I looked everywhere because my ipod was too loud and the radio wasn't working. After I pressed the center and up arrow (menu) button for 12 seconds everything worked!!! I thought I had a bad ipod!! THANKS

I have the exact same problem, my 2nd Gen just broke and the new shuffle appear to be worthless. Some people recommend buying a reconditioned 2nd Gen from Apple but they appear to be out of stock. Not sure where to turn! Ipod Nano is popular but heavier than I'd prefer. Bring back the 2nd Gen Apple!

The last 7Gb on your Classic! I think you are already effectively maxed out, as our iPods need a bit of breathing room and the 7gb would be that room.

Sounds like a connection problem if it works some times and not others. I only have a iPod CLASSIC and have never had any problems. Maybe a visit to the Apple Store. Sorry not much help. Regards,Barry

Remember to update your flash bios for the player. Mine is also a 16gb version and I had purchased it recently; however, there still were two versions of a newer firmware on Creative's site...so follow their directions to update that first and then try your card. I just got a 16gb card as well and it works just fine...

I really do not have a problem ... The radio in my car for some reason was not picking up local radio frequencies now that I have this it works well as a fm radio picks up the local frequencies. The player is fine as an MP3 it was a no brainer to load it .... The only set back have is that I bought a 4 gig and I have way more music than that... I had a 32 gig iPod before and it was stolen ... And to be honest I don't miss it... No complaints about this product .... I use it mostly in my car just plug it in the aux and good to go ....

My ipod will not work it keeps telling me its not connected I feel the ipod cord connecter is faulty or it may be the internal input? any one have this problem,what can I do?

Mine was missing the iPod cable that plugs into the main unit, but new iPods can plug into a USB cable that plugs into the USB port. HOWEVER, the usb cable does not provide much or a charge, nor does it provide a full on-sreen control experience, so make sure they include the full ipod adapter cable if you want real ipod control. Overall, AMAZING :)
