how do you get it to charge the iPod touch? Any advice?

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!

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

if the devise you are charging does not draw enough power it will shut off. I have an older ipod that does this . if you plug in an additional devise to charge that normally works on it fine it should stay on and working .

I have Ipod touches and it doesn't charge them. Very annoying. Have to pre-charge Ipod touches first or use mp3 cable.

you must purchase an optical audio cable, that is sold seperatly. It took me a while to figure that out. Plus , I have an older Ipod, the one just before the touch and it will not play mine. It does play the newer ones.

I heard only the tuner works; it does not charge the iPod Touch 2nd Gen. It might charge the 1st Gen.

You have to hold it. Then it should charge. If not try charging the case. Still not working return it for a refund

Make sure you're using the input USB. Should charge automatically. You only have to turn the power on to use the device for charging purposes.

Found a reasonable solution to the problem. I bought a dock extender cable (see product link below)that seems to have solved the charging problem while connected to the speaker system. Music plays and the iphone charges. All is good.30 Pin Dock Extender Cable-50 cm in White

Switch the the tab to GPS and start your app. They connect via the port on the bottom of the ipod. Have you charged the battery in the cradle? It has it's own battery and may need charged.

There is a USB cable that you can charge and sync the ipod through a computer. There is no direct power adapter included.

You need an external USB power source, You need to get a USB to 2 Prong Wall Plug adapter. Then all you have to do is plug in the 1/8th inch "ipod" plug to the Ipad.

It does charge the iPod touch and phones. You may need an adaptor- sold at Target, best but, Walmart etc

You can find an adapter to play your new iPhone or iPod but it will not charge at same time
