my iphone 4 wont connect with either docking speakers and play music. why not?

I have got a Philips alarm clock and a Gear4 Houseparty rise and when I connect my Iphone 4 with either I get the message that its not optimised. the phillips dock wont play anything and the gear4 will not allow me to adjust the volume. I have tryed restartin, updating, restoring, everything i can think off but still nothing. any help or suggestions would be great. cheers Nic

iPhone 4, iOS 4.3.3

ipod/iphones used to have firewire in their pin30 but apple removed that feature

so older docks which used it for powering rather then the usb pins will only work with older iphones/ipods

there is nothing you can do apart from buying a new dock or buying an old iphone/ipod


also have a dock which only works with my old 1g ipod touch 16GB and non of the iphones or ipod touch in later generations

my iphone 4 wont connect with either docking speakers and play music. why not?
