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 am unsure about the question you are asking but I am the owner of an Apple iPod Touch 3rd Gen, Apple iPod Nano 4th Gen, and an Apple iPhone 4S and they all work with this set up. It is really nice. It was exactly what I was looking for without having to spend a ton of money. This item is just like the high end ones without the big price tag. It has worked on any generation Apple product that is associated with the (i believe its called) 30 Prong connector (which is the basic Apple (up until iphone 5) charging cord such as the adapter on this converter) it has the AUX cord for MP3 and other devices.

It's just a dock with speakers. It will charge certain (many) ipods, but it is not an alarm clock. If you have the ipod touch, you can use the alarm on the clock app, and it will play through the speakers (but that also means you'd be keeping the ipod on the speakers/charger for a long time even after it's charged, which could wear out your battery faster). Hope this helps.

Are you starting the music playing BEFORE you put the ipod on the dock ? I have an ipod touch gen 2 that plays on the Altec im 600 with the dock adapter that came with the touch 2 , I get a messege on the touch screen saying the device won't charge on the im600 put will play... I ordered a im600usb from Amazon but the box said im600 and I returned it as wrong item. I'm waiting for Amazon to send the im600usb when they get it in stock.

fannie lou, sounds like you got a lemon. I'd return if it was me. And regardless would return it since you already have docking systems. The charging issue is a known one, if you have older docking systems, it may likely not work. New docking systems will most likely work. That does suck. My attitude is that the Nano 4th gen is great for first time ipod users like myself (who will buy new docking stations anyway), not so good for existing users.

It won't plug in directly since iPod 5th gen uses the new "Lightning" dock connector whereas this radio has the older-style 30-pin dock connector. Apple sells a "Lightning to 30-pin Adapter" for $30 which will probably fit OK in this radio but the iPod will lean back, supported only by the plug on the bottom. Maybe not the best combination.

When I first plugged it into the On Stage my iPod said it couldn't charge with this device, but it wouldn't play either. I've tried plugging it back in after finding these posts, and there's no message as before; On Stage (or iPod) doesn't acknowledge at all. It's as seated in the port as it possibly can be without worrying I'll wobble the iPod and break it. My mini-iPod still works just fine on it as always. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have an old style iPod Classic with the big white dial on the front. I'm not sure of the "generation". It has the larger "hook up" on the bottom. It works perfectly in this clock.

Not sure. I have an iPod 1st gen, it won't charge it but it plays it. It does have an awesome sound.

I think the latest iPods have a new charger, that won't fit. If you get a converter, I am not sure it will work--never tried. I just keep an old iPod on all of the time.

The version we got only has a line in, not a line out. Ours does not have the Ipod charge on top, but I think that was an option when we bought it. It has a USB charge and a "Line in" that does NOT work with headphones. The book says it is for a 3.5 mm line-in jack to play music from phones, iPods, MP3 players, and other audio devices that are not bluetooth enabled, alarm clock, USB port in the back to charge your phones or other devices. BTW, my husband loves it and I love the way it looks. We looked many years to find a lamp with an alarm radio!

Sorry, I don't know the answer to that question. The clock radio has the old style, bigger iPod connector built into the top of the clock radio. Maybe it would work with an adapter of some kind?

I have an ipod touch 4th Gen and the clock is useless. Buttons don't work and mine won't even auto sync the time with my i-pod. I am returning it. I have tried to get it to work for 3 days now (I posted a 1-star review on it if you want more details).

The Philips clock radio is compatible with iPod touch; iPod touch 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations; iPod nano 1st through 6th generations; iPod 5th generation; iPod classic; iPod mini; iPod with color display; and iPhone 3G, 3GS, 4, and 4s. And, it sounds great!

If your nano 4th gen has the same plug as the conventional ipod, then, yes charge and play via the cord. Yes, you can skip songs with the buttons on the ipod. The only control on the Scosche is stop and go for the ipod. The other controls are to change broadcast frequency.

This is not necessarily true. The nano 4g will work on most older docks but it will not necessarily charge on the dock. This is because the 4g nano charges differently than the older ipods.

Yes, i got this at xmas and everything worked fine (remote, recharging, playing) with the 4th gen Nano. The only thing to be careful of, is make sure you push it all the way down into the base. if it isn't fully seated it will play, but won't recharge and the remote won't work. it's a good little unit.
