Does it charge the Ipod as well?

Yes, but the clock radio itself is very hard to program. If it weren't for the compact size which is great, I would get something easier to program.

I bought 2, pink and black. With the black one, you have to sometimes play with your iPod to get it to start charging. The pink one makes a humming noise.

Yes, it does while you are listening to your music. Good small sound too and easy to program.

It doesn't. What isn't shown is that there is an attached cable that comes out of the back of the display (where it's attached to the flexible arm) that leads to the dock connector on your iPod/iPhone). It does charge your phone, while it's connected.

It does charge the iPod...but it eventually stopped playing my iPod from the dock after a couple months. Various sites suggest fixes for the error message (device not recognized) that began to pop up, and they worked at first. Finally nothing worked. I believe it is an issue with Apple's not "playing nice" with others--not sure. Regardless, it was nice while it lasted but ultimately a pricey mistake. I would not buy this unit again to work with an Apple product until there is a way to know that all compatibility issues have been resolved. Altec's own web site acknowledges the problem.

Only if it is connected to an outlet. If it is running on its own battery it will not charge your iPod.

This just is a charger, it will not play your IPod and only charge your IPod.

I don't believe so. When it's connected to my iPod classic, it doesn't seem to charge the iPod.

No it doesn't. All you need to do is remove the little piece to attach for the iPod and plug it into itself and use a USB plug

If you have an iPod on the dock (as shown in the images), it will charge the device. If you wish to play music without charging, you can use the aux-in at the back of the dock.

The USB is powered, so if you connect this to your stereo per the instructions (by connecting to the rear USB and auxiliary connections on your stereo), the USB will charge whatever device you plug into it. So, if you need to charge your iPod, for example, it will charge. HTH

It charges both my iPod and my iPhone. I therefore assume it would charge other brands of MP3 players as well.

Yes, through the USB/charge cable supplied with the iPhone. It also charges the iPhone while playing music.

Hello, no it will not charge it. the iPod dock actually sucks... It went down on me after the first month! but if decide too, you could always get an adapter to switch it to an iPod 5.

I've never used it with a phone. However, it charges the iPod, so I assume it charges the phone too.

I don't know...I never said anything about iPODs in my review. But some other reviewers did have success with it charging their iPODS, from what I read.
