The iHome iP99 will. It's designed for iPhone but will work for iPod Nano 4th Gen.

The Emerson Research Clock Radio will charge it. Of the five different devices that I own (totaling perhaps $300 dollars!) it is the only one which WILL.- CB

I'll give that a shot. I've noticed that they only claim to support the 5th gen and newer Nano, as well as the iPhone/iTouch. I was using a 4th gen Nano and an old classic (at that time just called the iPod). Now I have a 5th gen Nano, and it seems to work? I'll report back after more testing.

Hi, it charges my older iPod Nano but cannot answer about your iPod 4. You can purchase it, and return if it doesn't work. I don't think you will incur shipping charges. Good luck.

Thanks for your detailed response. Do you know if the 6thG Classic will still charge when docked to (for example) a clock radio?? I read that the 4thG Nano will still play music from such a device, but no longer charge the battery(unlike 3rdG Nano). I find this really annoying ...

Ya you just need an aux cord for it. There is a USB port for it but it didn't charge mine could be different for yours depending on your iPod generation.

My daughter uses her 4th generation iPod touch and it works and sounds great. The only thing she uses the iSleep app for is to set the alarm.

I believe it takes anything that uses a lightening charge connection like the iPhone 5 and iPad 3rd Generation. If the iPod Nano uses the same lightening charger as the devices I listed then it should be fine. It will broadcast whatever you play on your device. If your Nano has the same lightening connection then it will play the radio through your Nano and into the speakers.

What "pin"? If you're using an extension 5mm wire plugged into the same jack on your iPod that the headphones plug into, that won't charge your iPod. No charging is capable via that port on the iPod. If you have your iPod plugged into the connection on the top of the radio via the port on the bottom of your iPod and it isn't charging but you have sound playing through the radio, then something could be wrong with either your iPod or the iHome radio. Try another iPod or iPhone if you have one. If the other device charges and plays fine, then the issue is with your iPod 4. If the other device has the same issue, then something may be wrong with the iHome radio. Also insure that your iPod is seated correctly, all the way down on the connector. There may be a soft "click" when it is seated properly. Hope this helps.

I know this is a common concern but I just got this speaker and it CAN charge an ipod touch 2nd generation...if you have the time to deal with it.I tried playing around with it and figured out that if you have the speaker turned on (with the ipod turned on (or in sleep mode) and inserted on the dock) and unplug and replug the speaker, it begins charging each time. The speaker MUST be turned on when you unplug it or else it doesn't work. The ipod doesn't have to be on the dock when its unplugged but it has to be on the dock once you plug it in for this to work. This is the only way I can get it to charge 100% of the time. Tedious but it works. Let me know if this helps. Good luck everyone!

You can charge all iPods with 30 pin connector and it only has a 3.5mm jack that will play music only from other products but will not act as a usb charger. Thank you

Yes, it uses the charging pins in the dock to charge its internal battery. Apple changed which pins supply power to its iPods several years ago, however, so docks built for the early generations of iPods will not charge this. It will play audio, but not charge, in older docks.

I believe the Ipod Nano Gen 4 has the lightning connector. These are lightning connectors and should work fine.

I have a 3rd generation nano. It works very well. I don't know if a 4th generation works with the unit.
