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?

I just contacted SOny support and they told me it is compatible with a 4G Ipod but when I asked them to clarify about the 4G Touch - they checked their Knowledge Database and said that it is NOT compatible with a 4G TOUCH

Actually, I bought this Sony and it works fine with the 4G iPod. No problems at all.

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?

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.

Michael&gt; will the 4G work in the ICF-CS10iPBLK? Sasha_&gt; Please give me a moment while I get this information for you. Sasha_&gt; Thanks for waiting, Michael. Sasha_&gt; The iPod Touch 4G is compatible with ICF-CS10iPBLK Clock Radio. Michael&gt; are you positive? Sasha_&gt; Yes, I have checked the information in the Manual of the Clock Radio. That was directly from Sony support.

It does charge the iPod...but it eventually stopped playing my iPod from the dock after a couple months. Various sites suggest fixes for the error message (device not recognized) that began to pop up, and they worked at first. Finally nothing worked. I believe it is an issue with Apple's not "playing nice" with others--not sure. Regardless, it was nice while it lasted but ultimately a pricey mistake. I would not buy this unit again to work with an Apple product until there is a way to know that all compatibility issues have been resolved. Altec's own web site acknowledges the problem.

Yes. Sony is very strong on the capability to charge while having a device docked. This is one of the primary features that make Apple such a strong competitor. Unless you truly buy a cheap knock off, most all "i" docks have the capability to charge. However this is dependent on the gen of "i" device as apple changed their charge pins and power input rates around 2010. The devices will state if they are for post iphone 4 or pre iphone 3g. 4 is good for 4 and 4s and 3gs is back to original iphone. This is also the case with gen 4 for nanos and gen 3 back nanos.

I bought for my 4th generation and it is very hard to put it into the dock so I don't think it works. Just called Sony and they said it is not compatible. I will be returning mine.

Not 100% on the 4, but I have a 4s and I dock it every night to charge. I've had this for about 4 years now and it's worked with my iPod nano, by son's iPod touch and now my iPhone 4s. Love it.

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.

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).

Ok, so I took the time to talk to Sony (2 hours on the phone) and Apple (1 hour on the phone) about this. Sony tell me that the iPod classic has the same specifications for the connection port as the iPod 5th gen Video. So, they believe that the problem is in the iPod classic's firmware. They did say that they were going to get their engineer's to look at connecting a classic up to see why it is not working. So, the Apple story. Apple looked at this and said that the classic's video out was slightly different than the 5th gen. But, after looking at it a little more closely, and looking at some of the products that Apple sell for similar functionality (video out to TV/Receiver), they then started to feel that there may be an issue with the hardware/firmware. They also indicated that they had received reports of the classic working with similar products, and then failing to work after a recent firmware upgrade. Apple also indicated that they would contact their engineers regarding the connection to the Sony Digital Media port, and give reasons as to why it is not working, and whether there is some way to make it work. I should hear back within the next few days (given that tomorrow is friday, it may be early next week). Hopefully this matter will be resolved by a firmware update. What was really dissapointing was I plugged in my friends 5th gen, and it worked a charm. So it can work...

Hi - I use it for my iPod nano 4th generation & I used to use it with iPhone 4S - here's the deal though - it has the older WIDER plug though. In other words my iPhone 5s now & my iPad (latest) that has that tiny little charge plug does not fit into this stereo. You can use the other cord that plugs onto ear bud then to back of this stereo but you can not use the cradle or arm thing. Honestly - the sound sucks too on this thing. Hope I answered your questions correctly :)Jerry Adams answered on January 3, 2014

Not sure where you are getting your information. According to Buy.com:"Audio portion works with any iPod featuring an iPod dock connector. " and in their product description:"Audio portion works with any iPod featuring an iPod dock connector. Charges all iPods except 4G Nano, 3G iPhone, 2G touch and 120GB Classic."According to this, any iPod with a dock connector will work, its just that a certain few won't *charge* while in use.

unfortutately I dont have a nano... it has the normal (previous versions, not the new one) ipod connection, and an extra smaller cradle.
