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!

Are you using the onstage micro portable? If so it should charge it, mine does and it works for others as well. Just make sure the ipod is shoved all the way into the port (you may even want to remove the plastic seat thing to test it). I found if the ipod wasn't pushed all the way down it would still play, but not charge sometimes - must be part of the connection or something. if it doesn't work after trying that, I'd go back to the apple store or send it back to amazon, might be a quality issue. good luck,ac

is it necessary to use the plastic adapter? i have a 8 g nano and it works fine without it (i'm not sure where mine is). at work we use the same speakers and we don't use it. mine is now buzzing loud intermittently and a red light is coming on. i e-mailed the company and they're inquiring if i'm using the adapter as i may have caused permanent damage to the unit. the one at work has never had a buzzing sound and we use it all the time. please advise. i don't want to admit not using it to void my one year warranty.

Hello. Yes, the JBL Sound Stage Micro does support docking and charging of the Apple Ipod Nano 4th generation. I know because I have one and it charges fine in this speaker dock.

Yes, i got this at xmas and everything worked fine (remote, recharging, playing) with the 4th gen Nano. The only thing to be careful of, is make sure you push it all the way down into the base. if it isn't fully seated it will play, but won't recharge and the remote won't work. it's a good little unit.

I haven't been able to get my 4th G nano to charge. It plays fine. Suggestions?

Yes, it is possible to play your 7th generation Nano through this speaker system, but you won't be able to use the docking feature in the front since it is designed to only accommodate the older style iPods & iPhones with the 30-pin connection. However, you can play your newer iPod, iPhone along with other MP3 players and Android phones using a 3.5 mm male-to-male connector, which connects to the unit via the 3.5 mm jack in the back of the unit. The only downside to this is that your device won't be able to charge while playing like it would if it could be docked with the unit. However, in the case of my 7th generation iPod Nano, it seems to hold a charge for considerably longer than my older iPod Nano, so that isn't really a major drawback...

I have the latest iPhone 4S and it works marvelously. I love the sound of this docking station. I know the connection changed wtih the iPhone 5, and it will not work with this docking station (w/o an adaptor). I do not know what the connection is for your 7th generation iPod Nano, but if it differs from the iTouch and iPhone 4 connection, then it probably won't work w/o an adapter (adaptor must fit the iPhone 4 and earlier).

I was wondering if this would work with the IPod shuffle 2nd Generation as far as the docking and charging is concerned..anyone know for sure?

Really? I cannot get the T612 to work with my daughters new Nano 5G 16GB. Buzzing sounds and the only music playing is through the Nano's internal speaker. Works great with an old Nano 3G..... but that is not the point. Any trick to getting this to work??

Okay....I just called Altec Lansing (800-258-3288). I was advised that yes it would work but that there was no adapter (as of yet) for the ipod 8 GB nano. BUT.....if you use unit in a stationery position it would work. I bought one for my 82 year old mother 2 years ago, one for myself last week (i have a sec gen ipod nano) and now...I'm thinking of buying the new ipod 8gb nano and using my altec lansing. I don't carry it around....I use at home or bring to work and use. Its always stablilized. I have one of the original in home BOSE stereo systems (5 big speakers) and HANDS DOWN, this IM7 beats it for crispness and clarity. Okay....I just called Altec Lansing (800-258-3288).

According to Griffin's website, this is not compatible with iPod nano 4th generation. Mine just arrived and I've yet to open the packaging, but the box shows compatible iPods and the nano 4g is not listed.

I have looked everywhere as I got my 14 year old the Nano 16 gb- best I can figure out there are allot of subtypes of the IH9BR - it was very confusing- and it is next to impossible to figure out if this one will fully support NANO 16gb. IHOME and Apple have them on their site with some info- I may just wait a few months to get her a dock (Birthday) as I think think they are still trying to get rid of some older models not compatible with the NANO 4th generaiton and it is buyer beware....If anyone else finds out about this I would be interested,

Yes this works with an Ipod Nano... At least the newer version, which uses bluetooth 4.0. I have the newest Ipod nano touch 16gig and it works fine with it. Not sure about all the older versions which may not have bluetooth/wireless capability.

Yes. It charges and plays it just fine. You just need to use the dock insert that came with your nano as the included inserts are for the older generation nanos.

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?

If you go by others' reviews of this product on Amazon, even though it claims to be compatible with all ipods, it will not, in fact, charge the 2nd gen Touch or the 4th gen Nano. So it will still play the music but it won't charge it. A dealbreaker in my opinion but it still might be worth it for some.

It will not charge a 4th Gen. Ipod Nano, I know that for a fact from firsthand experience...

I believe the Ipod Nano Gen 4 has the lightning connector. These are lightning connectors and should work fine.
