Are all docking ports on apple products the same? Like if someone had an iphone, itouch, ipod nano 4th generation, would they work on this alarm?

The 5th Generation Apple devices have a different port than the older devices. 4th Gen devices and prior will work with the iHome.

I can dock my older IPod Touch. The manual didn't come with my system but we got it from the website. They say it's designed to work with IPhones up to 4, IPod Touch through 4th generation, IPod Classic and Nano through 6th Generation. My IPod is too thick to dock, but everything can be hooked up through AUX. That is the best answer I can give you.

Yes, this is good for any device that has a USB charging cable. The docks have an opening to pull the correct cable through. Some people have complained the radio alarm is too loud, others have complained it is not loud enough. I sleep on the opposite side of the bed and this alarm was loud enough to wake me up; however, my husband complained it was not loud enough. In the end I am his alarm through kicking to wake him up. If you have issues alarms not being loud enough, get ready for a possible return or look elsewhere. My husband ended up purchasing a Sony dock station from walmart and it definitely startles me into a shocked state every morning. Yes, this is good for any device that has a USB charging cable.

I have a 4th gen ipod touch, and the ipod dock works with that style charger input. So if your ipod has the same style charger, then I don't see any reason it would not work with the docking station. Otherwise, you could plug it into one of the two auxiliary inputs.

I don't see why it wouldn't work as the iPhone and iPods have the same port opening. However as others have said, it's not work the money. I had two units and they were both defective. It stops working one day and you can try and jiggle the cord and it will work for a while more but eventually you can't jiggle it anymore.

I don't know for sure. I have an iPod nano. I think if the input for docking is on the bottom, it should work. It comes with 3-4 adapters to hold the iPod. I loooove this. The sound is amazing and I love all of the features, including a dimmer/off option for the display.

No, you are looking for a 8 to 30 pin (iPhone 4 to iPhone 5) adapter. This adapter is a 8 pin to 8 pin , it is used for LifeProof and OtterBox case so you don't have to remove your case to everytime you place it on your docking station. (iHome, Bose and all others like them)

It does... but only if you have the 30-pin adaptor. Honestly there are better options for a docking station now adays. This thing was great before the charging connection for Apple products changed. But for the price it's awesome as long as you get the 30 pin adaptor. Apple Lightning to 30-Pin Adapter (0.2M)

Yes. I have a iPod Touch with lightning connector. The Sony is an excellent bedside alarm integrated with the the iPod. I highly recommend.

Yes, but you need the adapter for it to work. I've never tried the alarm feature, because I have an alarm app on my iPhone that I use and it works just fine.

It works great with my iPhone 4 and I'd bet it'd work with a 4th gen iTouch, too. I went to a Wal-Mart where they had one of these on display so I was able to make sure it'd work with my phone before buying one. You might want to do the same, just to be on the safe side.

Both of these work with the newest iPods for a similar price - will both play AND charge:http://store.apple.com/us/product/H0680VC/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY (iHome iA% app-Enhanced Alarm Clock)http://store.apple.com/us/product/TX391ZM/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY (Philips SBD7500 Portable Speaker Dock)Hope that helps. ;)

Hi... does NOT work because the dock is for iphone 4s as well itouch or ipad model with the big docks

Hi Richard, the alarm is set by the iPhone or iPod that you are using. You may also wanted to install this app: D-Sappli. This dedicated dock app for iPod/iPhone will provide various timer functions like Alarm, Music Play Timer, and Sleep Timer. Hope this helps. -Ely

Not 100% on the 4, but I have a 4s and I dock it every night to charge. I've had this for about 4 years now and it's worked with my iPod nano, by son's iPod touch and now my iPhone 4s. Love it.

I've heard that the iphone is not compatible with this speaker dock, so I would also tend to believe that the same is true of the Ipod Touch since it is similar. Apparently, it causes buzzing or some other type of interference when docked. I am not 100% sure though about the Ipod Touch compatibility. Check with the manufacturer before you buy this speaker dock. That is the best advice I can offer you.

Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch. The charging capability of any of the periphial docking devices that you have to play your itouch on are no longer supported by the second generation. The first generations are fine but a small programming change was made to the second generation that caused this to happen. So it's not the fault of the docking device you purchased- it's the Itouch itself. The only thing you can do is charge it using a Apple compatable charger but you won' t able to listen to it while charging Sorry.. I just got this news after purchasing my new itouch and calling the store where I bought it. Just and FYI for everyone out there who has a second generation itouch.
