My IPod Touch won't charge in my Bose Sound Dock. My IPod classic does however the Touch will not. I get a message stating:
Charging is not supported with this accessory
Dismiss
Why does it work with my IPod Classic and not my Touch?
Yes, I believe that it did charge in the docking station before. However, I have mostly used the docking station with my IPod Classic. But what difference would that make?...
A lot.
That seems to be odd if the docking station is not compatible with my Touch but is with my Classic. As stated, the Touches plays through the docking station how would it not be compatible?
The Klipsch was available around the time that Apple dropped 12 volt charging on iPods. So Klipsch recalled the RoomGroove from the shops and modified it so that it could charge iPods using the 5 volt supply. My two Klipsch's, model name "RoomGroove", look identical, but in in fact different. One can charge the iPod Touch. the other one cannot.
By the way, I have an adaptor fitted to my my car stereo so that I can plug the iPod into it. This adaptor can charge the Classic, but not the Touch - for the same reason, the adaptor supplies only 12 volts, which is no use to the iPod Touch.

Is it a 5G iPod?
Does the iPod play on the dock?
Did it work/charge before?
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem r the dock is not compatible with your model iPod and is iOS version.
No, it's the 80G Touch
Yes, the Touch plays in the docking station

No bent or missing contacts or foreign material etc.

There is no 80 GB iPod touch
There are five different generations of iPod touch and the capacities vary between 8 and 64 GB,

Sometimes an iOS update to iPod touch breaks compatibility.
Does Bose say it will work with yo model iPod touch and its iOS version?
My mistake....64G Touch
BOSE does not mention anything that I can find about iOS versions. My Touch says that it is up to date with 6.1.6. The BOSE website does say that the docking station with the connector I have will work.
I have also Reset the IPod and gone to Settings and also Reset All. Still the same issue.
My Ipod Touch won't charge in Bose Sounddock
