Is there a dock (with a clock) for my iPod Touch?
Is there a dock (with a clock) for my iPod Touch?
There are some 30 pin docks with clocks still around, though not many, and likely not new.
Here are some choices from amazon : https://www.amazon.com/s?k=30+pin+clock+dock+for+iPod+and+iPhone
Your better option is to use one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Savings-USA-Lightning-Female-Adapter-iPhone
and then just look for a current Lightning dock with a clock. Easier to find new.

Try searching online for the expression "ipod 30-pin docking station with clock".
Old style 30-pin cable:
USB plug on the left (that plugs into the computer) and 30-pin dock connector on the right that plugs into older iPods.
------------------------------
Lightning cable connection:
with USB cable on the left and the lightning cable (which plugs into newer iPods) on the right.
The two connectors are not compatible, you need the correct dock. I've noticed some on Amazon UK, but that doesn't help you in the USA.
You need to look for the naming of dock connector style. Either:
and study the pictures of the dock itself to see which style of connection it has.
A basic online search (using Google for example) would be a better idea than asking here. After all, this is an worldwide forum. Without any idea where in the world you are, it is impossbile to answer that since what is available to me in my country, may not be available in yours.
Just search for iPod dock with clock (or iPod docking station with clock) and see what that brings up.
Thank you for getting back to me. I certainly understand your problem with my location (I'm in Massachusetts, USA). However, I have done a few online searches and found lots of docks with clocks on Amazon, etc. The problem is that I cannot tell if they will be compatible with my iPod Touch, which is probably about 6-7 years old.

I don't see pins at all on the connector, so I don't believe it's one of those. I tried to see what a lightning connector looks like, but find nothing that looks like mine. Mine looks just like a regular USB connector, but maybe twice as wide.
Does your iPod touch has the Lightning Connector or the old 30-pin one? (Because you stated that your iPod is 6 - 7 years old)
You can get the iPhone Lightning Dock if your iPod has that connector.

Does it look like the one in he middle here:
YES! So I guess it is a 30-pin. I just couldn't see any pins. Duh!
So, are there docs (with clocks) for 30-pin connectors?
You can also look for iPhone docks. The iPod is just a hair thinner than an iPhone and as long as the connectors at the bottom are good they should work.
Now if you have a 4th gen or older you may have a hard time since devices with 30 pin connectors are harder and harder to find
