30 pin adapter
I have 2 different 30 pin adapters and neither one will work with my 7th gen nano on my old docks what gives ? was I mistaken to assume that it would ?
iPod nano
Is it the lightning to 30 pin adapter?

Yes, and neither one will allow play back
The old 30-pin connector passed a lot of different signals, including an "iPod Out" protocol that was used by a lot of home and car docks to pass control signals along with audio. The Lightning-to-30-pin adapter passes audio, but it doesn't pass the "iPod Out" signals, so a lot of old docks don't work.
