I had the same issue with my philips fidelio Dock, which also charges. Crazy thing is the receiver works with my other two docks, a Teac and a chinese one. So, i believe You're not missing anything, just the receiver doesnot work with all docks, even of they charge.

You have to get the SCOSCHE IFWAHBK 30pin adapter... Honestly this BT adapter (august) has a bad popping noise when you are not playing anything. As long as you have a play list and no dead air it will work well. As main computer speaker can't stand it

When the MR100 is plugged in and working, there will be a flashing blue light in the top right hand corner. If you don't get that on your Sounddock, the device is not powered and you'll never be able to pair with it.

My older SoundDock has an input on the back just above the power cord input. I've used it to hook iPhones, iPods and Sony MP3 players. I've even hooked a cable from my TV and/or computer and run it thru my SoundDock. I don't see why you couldn't hook it to your iPad.

The iPhone connects via AirPlay. . .but you'll need a separate charger to charge while it sends AirPlay media to the Bose if the battery is low. The USB port is for connecting to computer upon initial set up. There IS an AUX jack you can connect your phone to if you don't have one that's AirPlay compatible.

If your dock also charges your ipod it might work.. but it still a mystery in which can and cannot work

I am using it with my iPhone 4 and it doesn't seem to have any problems. It also charges the phone when docked. Was worried about it since I couldn't find any other reviews that addressed this question, though I haven't checked extensively. I have noticed a few times that I get a slight buzzing sound when the phone is docked but the music is paused or off. This never happens with my 2nd generation Nano. With an extension cable I have even plugged my iPad into it and it plays fine, though it doesn't charge the iPad. This may be a cable issue, although with the phone hooked up to the JBL Micro through the same extension cable it will still charge as well as play. Hope this helps.

The charging connector is for iphone 4 and older, so no charging or music in the dock. You can still play music through the headphone jack and cable. There is an adapter available for the iphone 5 and 6 but at least last time I checked it allowed charging but no audio.

I use it with the wired SoundDock and it charges when its docked. From my understanding, it charges with the Portable too.

No, you cannot charge an iPhone through the audio/headphone jack. If you are buying this for a docking station, get one that plugs into the bottom of the phone (where you charge it), and then it will play AND charge.

Ahhhhh....so you were sent the wrong Altec Lansing docking station. I still haven't ordered another one from Amazon yet. I was thinking about taking my IPOD touch (2nd Gen/16 GB) in to Target or Wal-Mart to try it on their docking stations. Has anyone ever tried that??Also, GM...I went through A.L. Tech support and none of the adaptors worked either. By the way, did you get a white plastic adaptor that came with your IPOD??? I found one here and it has 16 written on it. The black ones that I sent back to Amazon all had different numbers.Thanks,Seaturtlelady

Yes, it does. I believe that the dock connection Apple already uses has a power connection to it, so I everytime you see one it is very likely it will charge your device.But sincerely, my mom bought this Jukebox and it was a total disappointment on my part, the sound is terrible although it's a bit stylish to some tastes. If you want to go for sound quality, my professor at my university uses Roland Acoustics to show us the consequences of certain digital filters, the sound quality of them seems unexpectedly high to me.

Hi Traci, The Otterbox Defender case can NOT be docked on most portable sound docks because of the thickness at the bottom of the case where the connector is. The sounddock I tried my Ipod Touch on was the Bose Sounddock. I was told by the tech at Bose that it was an Apple issue and the only way to play/charge the Ipod on the dock was to buy a case that the bottom was completely open instead of individual openings for the lightning connector. These types of cases are thinner. i bought one of these cases at Walmart, and they work! However, now my Otterbox Defender case is useless, unless I wanted to remove it every time I wanted to play it on the sounddock. Sorry for the lengthy explanation . Hope this helped.

Absolutely can. That is what I have - the original Bose Sound Dock - Cable Jive fits onto the port instead of putting your IPod on there. You connect to your IPhone via bluetooth (at least that's how I connect to my IPad and/or Android phone. Very easy - sound is AWESOME. Cable Jive turned my old Bose Sound Dock into a way more versatile device for a very low cost! HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

Unless it is an old unit someone is selling, both the bluetooth module and remote will be in the box. An iPod can also be placed directly into the same slot on the front of the SoundDock 10 unit. I also purchased a Lightning-to-30 pin adaptor separately with an attached 0.5m cable to fit in that same slot when using a iPhone 5 since it apparently won't work otherwise. It was about $15 from one of the Amazon vendors. I haven't used the adaptor since I don't have an iPhone but it's nice to have if a friend wants to play their music on your Bose.

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!

Hi Tony. I returned this product because it did not work. It didn't charge my iPhone 4s or my iPad and it didn't play music through my iHome docking station. Other reviewers said the same thing. I bought one that works very well through cellphoneshop.net.

My Bose SoundDock is the first series. It doesn't say "Series I". I believe only the Series II and III are identified that way. I purchased the Power Supply/Cord you are considering and it works on my SoundDock to provide power, charge the SoundDock battery, and charge any 30 pin Apple device (iPod, iPhone, etc.) which I attach to the SoundDock. I thought I had lost the original Power Supply (the square one that the cord wraps inside of) so I ordered this one as a replacement. I then found my original Power Supply and now I have two which I can use. Hope this helps.
