It froze on you. You have to press both center and up arrow buttons together and hold for about 10-12 seconds. Once done, it will reset and work fine afterward. Hope this helps you, and that you still have the ipod.

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 use mine with an Ipod, not an Iphone, so I don't know if my results will be the same as yours. The volume control on my headphones will only allow volume to go as high as inputted on the Ipod and won't go higher unless I raise the volume physically on the Ipod. Easy fix, just have the volume turned up on your phone before you start and you can always adjust down with the headphones. This has never been a problem for me. I only need the volume to be at approximately 1/4 level on my Ipod to get enough out of the headphones, and even with that I have to adjust the volume down on the earphones, even while using them in noisy areas.

My iPod shuffle is no longer working. I contacted the manufacturer but to no avail. I wouldn't spend $ on another!

I know this is a common concern but I just got this speaker and it CAN charge an ipod touch 2nd generation...if you have the time to deal with it. I tried playing around with it and figured out that if you have the speaker turned on (with the ipod turned on (or in sleep mode) and inserted on the dock) and unplug and replug the speaker, it begins charging each time. The speaker MUST be turned on when you unplug it or else it doesn't work. The ipod doesn't have to be on the dock when its unplugged but it has to be on the dock once you plug it in for this to work. This is the only way I can get it to charge 100% of the time. Tedious but it works. Let me know if this helps. Good luck everyone!

I asked my daughter and she said no. She's using an iPod 4th Gen. She did say if she presses the physical volume buttons it takes a couple of tries to get the iPod to change the volume, but it's never not responded. Hope this helps a bit.

I don't know - this unit stopped working last year. It was my son's and we found the volume was just automatically go from whatever setting to zero after about 30 seconds of playing. And you couldn't get the volume to change unless you powered it off & on again. BTW, he just got a iPod Touch 5th gen - and he loves it.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

I just bought this for my 13 year old daughter and can't get it to play her iPhone 4. Is there a trick to it? When the iPhone is plugged in I can see that it is charging but there's no sound at all.

Only thing I can think of is to check the volume on your iPod. I have found mine is quieter if the volume is down on my iPhone.

Well, I've been turning mine on/off (listening here & there) and in my own humble opinion, I get about 5 hours, give or take. now, the volume is low as it is next to me, but I do vaguely recall iPod hook-up at full-bore for a little under 2 1/2 hours. Considering the size of the M12, I'm impressed.

I am so glad to read this! I bought my son a nano last year, and have returned it three times. It needs returned again, but I'm positive it's out of warranty now. The issue is that it randomly stops playing some songs - his library went from 250+ songs that would play to less than 50. This has happened so frequesntly that we're thoroughly disgusted. The 40G iPod video we have has no such problems!

Hi John,Sorry for the bad news but when apple changed their charging system from Firewire technology to USB it rendered all the newer models useless for charging. I had to resort to using the Ipod charger and then putting back on the dock. You're likely getting a "Charging not supported on this device" type of notice. My older one worked till it's final day but it was the old style. The only solution is a new dock system or find a cheap old one on Ebay. Best of luck,Cheers--Sam

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.

Yeah what's up with that? I'm having the same issue. iPod recently stolen and have been using a USB stick. Guess I'm gonna have to write Pioneer unless I find a solution online. Let me know if you do and I will do the same.

I have retuned 3 nano's for this problem. The nano sometimes doesn't recognize that the headphones are plugged in. The volume contol then changes the volume of the speaker but the headphones get full volume. If you cover the headphones you will be able to hear the nano speaker change volume with click wheel control. I called Apple and they say this is a hardware problem but said there weren't many people reporting the problem and I was just having bad luck. This happened less when I used different headphones, so the problem may be with the earbuds that come with the nano.

Same problem with ours, so suspect there is a defect. My wife uses this speaker with an iPod, which does have a functional volume control. Probably not much help, sorry.
