Touch won't charge with Bose Sound dock???

If this is because your NEW ipod wont work with the OLD Bose, is that their fault? Please clarify.

sounds like that complaint probably ought to be on the bose forums not the apple ones 😉

Well now. My 3rd gen Touch no longer charges on a Bose Sound Dock that happily charged the previous Touch it replaces (sadly stolen). Is this Bose's fault? I'm a bit more peeved with Apple for rendering a bunch of accessories half useless without saying anything - OK, maybe they needed more power for the new iTouch, but we all had to discover this for ourselves! 😟

Thank you for your many Blogs re this issue. Is this a software issues or is there a hardware problem? Apple, can you please sort out a software up date to fix? The Bose SoundDock is by far the best I have heard and I purchased one on advice from the Bris Apple Shop. The Dock id's Nano fine and charges but my Touch comes up with a warning - Not Charging.

It's a hardware issue. The newer iPods don't charge using the old Firewire pins as they don't have them. No software update will fix this.

It is Apple who have decided to replace the power input for the iPod touch 2nd Generation onwards. I too had a Bose sounddock which charged my Nano, but cannot charge my iPod Touch.

Wikipedia says {quote:title=:} 2nd generation (and onward) iPod Touch's also operate on 5V, unlike 12V like most previous iPod's, resulting in these Touch's not charging in vehicles equipped with an iPod connection. Most aftermarket manufacturer's of such equipment however are producing new cables and/or adapters, that essentially just kick down the voltage from 12 to 5.

Yes, I'm aware of that. Thanks.
