iPod touch New touch not playing on Bose?

[rowdawg]

Hey guys,

I just bought a new iPod Touch today and when I try to play it on my Bose Sounddock, the music plays on the internal speakers instead of the Sounddock. Is there any way to fix this, or is the new touch not compatible?

The sound dock will play music from From your device it just will not charge when attached. Do not force the connection, just remove the adapter tray from the dock. With the device being so light, it will get plenty of support without the tray adapter. Cheers!

My iPod Touch 4G works fine with my Sounddock Portable. Tested it with both iPod music and Pandora. The internal speaker shuts off when I plug it into the Sounddock. The charging indicator also comes on when docked. There may be compatibility issues with older Sounddocks but works as advertised with the Portable.

That solved it, thanks!

Pin Connectors

Does the iPod touch 4G still charge when you fixed your problem? I recently had my pin connectors changed when I sent my BOSE sound dock in for repairs to allow compatibility with the iPod touch 8 GB 2nd generation.

fretdevil, how on earth did you come up with that fix? i too bought a 4th gen touch and placed it on my bose dock....nothing. beginning to despair about this device as i cannot get it online. something to do with a password for router / wifi connection. how the hell am i suppose to remember that. anyway tried removing the attachment connection and hey presto, i'm really smiley now, music at last.

I just noticed it needed a little downward pressure to make the connection.
I got po'd and just removed the tray. I hate it when Apple re-engineers their devices and commits our accompanying hardware to obsolescence.
