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

Yes, the same thing happened to me this evening. My iPod Nano worked fine last night, and tonight it's doa.

Could be: any part of the power cord may have been dislodged, dead battery charge if you're trying to use it without the power cable, or perhaps (this happened to me a few times when I first got it) the ipod didn't respond to the speaker for some unknown reason. After tinkering with it for a few minutes I got it to work again and it hasn't happened since. Or also you may have gotten a lemon. Hope you get it figured out because it is a decent piece of hardware.

Yes same thing happened to me. I ended up returning my unit. I went to the audio store to see if it happened to other units and it did. I would turn up the volume and the sound would cut out and not come back on unless I power cycled my head unit.

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).....

Try turning the receiver off before you remove the iPod, and leaving it off before you plug it back in. This might resolve the problem.

I bought a similar model and although I didn't have a volume issue the device stopped charging after less than 3 months...sorry this happened to u...item seems to be a loser for all of us...

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.

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. Hope this helps. I use mine with an Ipod, not an Iphone, so I don't know if my results will be the same as yours.

I do not know which generation Ipod I have (5 years old) but it does function properly except for the charging indicator. My ipod is always plugged in, but when wokeup shows ipod battery is low. This does not affect how I use the unit-basically a storage/playback unit for my cd collection. I think they showed a compatibility chart in the online manual?

I am on my second one now, and it is still that way! I'm going to try to return it AGAIN and maybe get a different ipod. I wish I knew what else to do!

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.

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!

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 have the same problem. I'm using an iPod touch and the charging quit. It plays fine, but the WiFi quits without the charger running, so my connection to internet radio drops after about 20 minutes or so.

When I first plugged it into the On Stage my iPod said it couldn't charge with this device, but it wouldn't play either. I've tried plugging it back in after finding these posts, and there's no message as before; On Stage (or iPod) doesn't acknowledge at all. It's as seated in the port as it possibly can be without worrying I'll wobble the iPod and break it. My mini-iPod still works just fine on it as always. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This has happened to me. I fixed my problem by resetting my iPod. Please download the manual from Apple's website. Unfortunately Amazon won't let me post the direct link.Go to Chapter 6 (page 55) of the current manual to troubleshoot. If you use Windows version of iPod and you manually update your playlists, your problem may have been triggered by improper disconnection. If that's the case, make sure you always eject your iPod first by using Window's System Tray (much like disconnecting flash drives). Good luck!

Yeah, you just click (the up/down buttons) repeatedly and it seems to change the volume. My iPod doesn't register the change (I checked the screen) but the volume did change. I use them for running so it was necessary that I don't have to take he device out of the sleeve on my arm.
