iPhone 4 upgraded to iOS5, now Bose SoundDock not working

I have the same problem and I spoke to Apple and didn't know about it

I have the same problem with my bose dock and with my JBL dock. When I putt my iPhone in the dock it will charge but it won't play music. I'm really not happy with this and I hope that apple will fix the problem realy fast!

I finally found out why the iPhone 4 would not play on the Bose:

Please either take the iPhone case off or take the base plate off the SoundDock. An iPhone with a protective case or a Bose speaker with the base plate PREVENT both devices from being fully inserted to each other!

Good luck!!

I have 3 docks in two locations. My iPhone 4 still charges and plays music with the JBL. However, it will no longer play music with the Bose or Phillips -- it will, however, charge. For those who believe the iPhone case is the problem, it is not. First, I have tried it both with and without the case. Second, prior to iOS 5, I was able to use all of the docks while the case was on the iPhone. . . that's why I bought a non-obtrusive case. My boyfriend's iPhone 3G works just fine on all three devices. Of course, he is not on iOS 5. It seems abundantly clear that the problem is with iOS 5 as that is the only thing that changed.

Yes it is deffo the iOS5 - 2 phones in our home have been affected - but last night after reading this discussion I tried tilting the phone forward in the dock - and guess what it works!! I don't know how or why!
But only when you pull it forward and I am too concerned about damaging either phone or Bose by doing that - weird though!

After the update, my Altec Dual doesn't work. My husband I have identical iPhone 4 's (not the 4s) and they've always worked fine in the Dual docks. Now his will play (unupdated) and mine will not (updated). Both will charge fine. So I'm trying some things and will report back.

Well, that was fast. I started the music on my phone, then set it in the docking port. No sound at all. I unplugged the Altec and plugged it back in while the phone was in the dock. It started playing through the speaker immediately. I switched to the other dock and it didn't work. Unplugged and plugged the speaker again and magically dock #2 started working as well.

Hope it's that easy for others. I don't know if that'll be a permanent fix or if I'll have to repeat.

Well our boys in SV have a big Problem now! I'm sitting in Germany and have the same problem like all of you here!

My iPhone 4 16GB is working with no sounddock anymore! I tested it here with mine at home, with 10 in a retail store and everywhere the same Problem! It's clear that if you spit the ipod app in two apps that you have to make sure that the source Programming for old Output devices made for Apple are still running! So dear Apple so please fix this, or we all with the same problem gonna see each other in front of Court!

Same problem with a iPod touch 4. Bose sound dock and my pioneer car HU don´t play iPod with iOS 5.

Same Issue. My Sony ICF-Cl75ip would act wierd with iphone 4. Then when i updated the iphone software it refuses to work at all, even with IOS 4. It always worked fine with it, despite Sony's claims that they can't ensure compatiblity past 3GS, which is bull since it worked fine. I even updated the dock software to no avail. Such an expensive multi function dock and now what!

I live in France and I have the same trouble with my 2 JBL docks : it just produces music for a few seconds and then doesn't work at all, ...?

It looks like a software abnormality...

PLEASE HELP !

Sort of the same issue. Have a Bose SoundDock. I have an iPhone 4 and a 4S both on iOS 5.0.1. The iPhone 4 works fine in the dock, the 4S does not work - no sound at all. The phones both recognise the dock as they both tell me charging is not supported when they are inserted. Come on Apple, get your act together.

I have had similar problems with my iphone 4s and my Sounddock II. Before the OS upgrade, my iphone charged and the remote worked... Since the upgrade, the phone intermittently charges, but my bose remote no longer controls the dock in the slightest. However, the speakers have continued to work.

Has anyone found any solutions to this problem? I have had many problems since upgrading the OS and have been so disappointed.

Hello my iPhone 4 with the latest iOS update no longer plays music through my Bose Sounddock. The dock detects the iphone, states that charging is not possible (which is fine), however music cannot be heard when a song is played. What is causing the issue? Any help would be appreciated as I suspect it is ioS 5.xx just like everyone else.

Please note that my old iPod still plays music through the Sound dock.

I am very upset with the new frimware upgrade, my logitech dock will no longer work with my ipod touch 4, my wifes touch 4 without upgrade still works, I hope Apple come up with a solution soon......
