What are the best speakers for my iPod nano 2nd generation?

BobS

I want good speakers, nothing too fancy, for my ipod nano that aren't too expensive. Plz help

Answer
Speaker that are made specifically for iPods are pretty expensive a lot of the time and are not always that great. If you purchase an inexpensive "RCA to headphone jack" cable you can hook your iPod up to any speakers/stereo systems with the RCA connections. You can also hook your iPod up to any computer speakers. Just go to your computer and unplug the cable with the green end and plug that into the iPod's headphone jack. Here's a picture of the RCA to headphone jack cable (probably cost less than $10):

MEMOREX SPEAKER SYSTEM FOR IPOD REMOTE CONTROL NOT WORKING PROPERLY?

Claudia Ca

I JUST GOT A MEMOREX SPEAKER SYSTEM FOR IPOD. I'M USING IT WITH MY IPOD NANO. ON THE REMOTE CONTROL, THE POWER, VOLUME, AND MUTE BUTTONS SEEM TO WORK FINE, BUT THE PREVIOUS, NEXT, AND PLAY/PAUSE BUTTONS DO NOT RESPOND WHEN USED. IT JUST DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE TO DO IT MANUALLY ON THE IPOD. MY FRIEND ALSO BOUGHT ONE AND HERS IS WORKING FINE. WHAT COULD IT BE?

Answer
It's either the system, or the remote. Get with the friend, use your remote on his unit. If it works your remote is good. Use his remote on your system. If it doesn't work, your system is bad, assuming his remote works fine on his system.

If all the units are the same, this usually tells the story. You can also try your speakers on his unit. Make notes on what you do. Hope this helps, Magyver

What is the best speaker system for the iPod nano?

Izzpuppy

I'd like one that charges my nano, but also has awesome sound.
I don't want like surround sound for iPod that takes a lot of time to assemble. Just a plain speaker that plays my music and has a remote will do.
I don't want one that doubles as a CD player/alarm clock/etc...I just want one that docks my nano, plays it, charges it, has a remote, and has awesome sound.

My sister just got a Bose SoundDock Tuesday and it is cool. I've listened to it a couple of times, but the remote won't allow you to go back to menu so I guess that is a factor too, ability to go back to menu from the remote. I heard the Apple Hi-Fi is good too, but to me the Bose looks a lot better. I may be missing the best one out there just because it isn't a big named one (Bose, Apple, etc.). I'm ready to pay the big price if I get sound and everything I listed for it. I want it worth my while.
I've done a little research with other people who have asked the same question, but still haven't come to a decision.

According to Dan Frakes of Playlist:

"Weâve tested the nano with a good number of iPod speaker systems, and in our testing, speakers that get their audio from the dock connectorâsuch as Boseâs SoundDock, Logitechâs mm50, JBLâs On Stage, Altec Lansingâs inMotion models, Klipschâs iFi, and even iHome Audioâs iH5 clock radioâwork with the iPod nano just as they do with other dockable iPods; audio is passed to the speakers as expected. In addition, on those systems with a wireless remote control, the remote also controls the nanoâs playback, just as it does with mini and full-size iPods.

There are, however, two caveats here: The first is that since the nanoâs dock port is off-center, the nano sits off-center when connected to these speaker systems (or when sitting in any dock-cradle accessory, for that matter). The second is that most of these speaker systems do not currently include a âdock cradle insertâ specifically for the iPod nano, although we expect many vendors to provide such adapters soon. (See âThe mysterious Dock Adapter,â below, for more on dock cradles for the nano.) That being said, because the iPod nano is so lightâit weighs only 1.5 ouncesâthe dock connector itself should be strong enough to hold the player upright, at least until speaker vendors provide an âofficialâ cradle insert.

Of course, any speaker system that connects via a standard headphone jack is also fully compatible with the iPod nano; JBLâs On Tour is an especially nice portable match. (As a side note, if the nanoâs bottom-mounted headphone jack were centered, PodGearâs Shuffle Station would have been a better match for the iPod nano than for the shuffleâthe shuffle currently has to be connected upside-down. Alas, the nanoâs jack is far enough off to the side that the nano doesnât fit between the Shuffle Stationâs speakers.)"

I have an older ipod nano, and I want to be able to listen to it in my car.
However, my car radio does not work and I would NOT be able to use something that plugs into my car power outlet.

I want a simple unit that will play my ipod and charge it at the same time and preferably under $25. Any suggestions?

Answer
i have a portable i-home, it doesn't charge it though. it runs on double a batteries and it is a good speaker. Although it doesn't charge your ipod i still highly reccomend it. you can get it at office depot.

Why is my ipod not working or displaying anything?

Cherry Tom

My ipods battery died, when I tried charging it, it wouldn't charge, i've left it for at least hour, then I tried a different computer and even a different speaker charging system. The ipod won't turn on or display anything, not even the little apple symbol. I've looked on many sites and I've toggeled it, (its an ipod nano) to reset it, nothing is working.
Please help.
What should I do?

Answer
Go to the apple website and either ask a question or look for an answered one.

You can also try buying one of those chargers that you can plug in and charge, like this:
http://store.apple.com/au/product/MB051X/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTU5MjU

One of those things came with my ipod but it was a special offer and the first time my ipod died i couldn't sync it with the computer because idk but it started charging when i used one of those but it takes a bit longer.
