Q: Apple Universal Dock Remote

I just got a universal dock for my iPod Classic 80 gig. The remote will only adjust the volume. It won't pause or play or skip songs.
Any clues to fixing this?

    I don't have one, I have the Belkin, but what I would try is to unplug the a.c. and then plug it back in.

    I have this problem with a Nano 3rd generation.
    The dock works (it charges the iPod and sync with iTunes), but with the remote I only can modify the lineout volume. Not even the ipod volume.


    Is that normal? Isn't it supposed to let you "control playback from a distance using the Apple Remote", as written on the first page of the booklet?

    Hi, I've got the 3rd gen ipod - 40gb, and I have this exact same problem. I've also got a 4th gen ipod and it has no problem at all. Amusing thing is that i have the older universal dock, with the round IR port and the 3rd gen ipod remote works fine.. but it's just with the newer universal dock. Is there any solution - cos the remote already has limited use, i would like it to do more than just volume.
