My Ipod Touch won't charge in Bose Sounddock

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?

• In the early days, iPods were charged with 12 volts. I think this was the old Firewire days. (That's correct, isn't it lllaass?)
• Then, later iPods could be charged by either 12 volts, or the newer 5 volt USB voltage. Your Classic can be charged by either the 12 volt supply, or the 5 volt USB supply.
• Later iPods can only be charged by the USB 5 volt supply. Your Touch can only be charged by a 5 volt supply.
• Your Bose Docking Station supplies only 12 volts, so it can charge the Classic, but not your Touch. (Later models of Bose Docking station do charge with 5 volt supply.)

• My Bose Docking station will charge my iPod Classic, but it will not charge my 2nd generation Touch.
• I also own the Klispch RoomGroove docking station. Well, two of them actually. (No, this isn't a brag, read on!)

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.

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.
