The iHome iP99 will. It's designed for iPhone but will work for iPod Nano 4th Gen.

The Emerson Research Clock Radio will charge it. Of the five different devices that I own (totaling perhaps $300 dollars!) it is the only one which WILL.- CB

It's just a dock with speakers. It will charge certain (many) ipods, but it is not an alarm clock. If you have the ipod touch, you can use the alarm on the clock app, and it will play through the speakers (but that also means you'd be keeping the ipod on the speakers/charger for a long time even after it's charged, which could wear out your battery faster). Hope this helps.

I drive a 2011 Honda CR-V and so far haven't been able to find a model that will work in it. I have the 5th generation Shuffle and when I tried to plug it in was told that my vehicle didn't support the format. I know this hasn't been much help as I'm not sure what year model car you drive. I'm assuming that my car would need a much older model iPod since none of the three MP3 players I've tried have worked. I hope you find something that works for you!

Just to clarify - This unit does charge the iPhone 4. However, none of the other functions of the clock radio work with the iPhone 4, i.e. you cannot play back your music library or set the alarm to wake you with an iPhone music track.

Yes, it will work on the 4th gen Nano as it uses the old 30 pin connector. If you have an auxillary connector it will play through the car's stereo perfectly. On my car it even turns the volume down when the phone rings for hands-off phone use with its bluetooth connection. And it charges up the Nano as well while you drive.

Hi, it charges my older iPod Nano but cannot answer about your iPod 4. You can purchase it, and return if it doesn't work. I don't think you will incur shipping charges. Good luck.

I think the latest iPods have a new charger, that won't fit. If you get a converter, I am not sure it will work--never tried. I just keep an old iPod on all of the time.

I do not know the connector of Ipod nano Generation 7, but you can always use a cable and connect it to the USB port. That's what I do with my old iphone which now only plays pandora. I find to be more easy to hand the ipod connected to a cable than using the docking station.

My friend gave me one for free. It works great with my 3rd gen Nano. It adds the "radio" function to the ipod menu. I have used it simply for the remote option (not in radio mode) and didn't notice the extra drain on the battery that others complain about.

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 have an ipod touch 4th Gen and the clock is useless. Buttons don't work and mine won't even auto sync the time with my i-pod. I am returning it. I have tried to get it to work for 3 days now (I posted a 1-star review on it if you want more details).

Unfortunately, it is not. You need to but the more expensive model which was about $200 more than this radio. I figured I only needed it for an alarm and is compatible with my Nano which I use for my iTunes. You may want to spend the extra money to get the model with more features.

4th Generation is a term used by apple. It describes what model your iPod is. Now in this case, the 4th generation, means it can update to 6.1.3 and is the 2nd to latest iPod. Sadly, apple discontinued it from manufacture but you can still buy it. The iPod 4th generation is better than the 2nd generation also because the 4th generation has a camera built in. I don't know why the other answer says it doesn't, but it does. I hope this is helpful to you :) please rate this as helpful! Have a good day.

I am unsure about the question you are asking but I am the owner of an Apple iPod Touch 3rd Gen, Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen, and an Apple iPhone 4S and they all work with this set up. It is really nice. It was exactly what I was looking for without having to spend a ton of money. This item is just like the high end ones without the big price tag. It has worked on any generation Apple product that is associated with the (i believe its called) 30 Prong connector (which is the basic Apple (up until iphone 5) charging cord such as the adapter on this converter) it has the AUX cord for MP3 and other devices.

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 have an IPod Touch 4th Generation and it plays music on my but doesn't charge it. My guess is it wouldn't charge your IPhone, but it might play music.

Ya you just need an aux cord for it. There is a USB port for it but it didn't charge mine could be different for yours depending on your iPod generation.
