It froze on you. You have to press both center and up arrow buttons together and hold for about 10-12 seconds. Once done, it will reset and work fine afterward. Hope this helps you, and that you still have the ipod.

Esteban thanks a bunch!!!! I looked everywhere because my ipod was too loud and the radio wasn't working. After I pressed the center and up arrow (menu) button for 12 seconds everything worked!!! I thought I had a bad ipod!! THANKS

Yes, the same thing happened to me this evening. My iPod Nano worked fine last night, and tonight it's doa.

I just got the Road Trip yesterday and the problem I'm having is that I have to crank the volume up to it's loudest on my car radio to hear my iPod at a semi-decent level. I like it loud and louder and can't figure out how to fix this problem. The Griffin website doesn't help at all.

i came here to ask same thing. love the speaker, really loud but battery went bad really fast and now i can only get about an hour use before it goes dead :'( and from others say i guess it's just a matter of time before it doesn't work at all.

Hi John,Sorry for the bad news but when apple changed their charging system from Firewire technology to USB it rendered all the newer models useless for charging. I had to resort to using the Ipod charger and then putting back on the dock. You're likely getting a "Charging not supported on this device" type of notice. My older one worked till it's final day but it was the old style. The only solution is a new dock system or find a cheap old one on Ebay. Best of luck,Cheers--Sam

I use mine with an Ipod, not an Iphone, so I don't know if my results will be the same as yours. The volume control on my headphones will only allow volume to go as high as inputted on the Ipod and won't go higher unless I raise the volume physically on the Ipod. Easy fix, just have the volume turned up on your phone before you start and you can always adjust down with the headphones. This has never been a problem for me. I only need the volume to be at approximately 1/4 level on my Ipod to get enough out of the headphones, and even with that I have to adjust the volume down on the earphones, even while using them in noisy areas. Hope this helps.

Mine died about three years ago but I don't remember having to set it each time. I found one and left it there. Guess I had a radio preset on that station so when I wanted to listen to the iPod I could go to that preset and turn the iPod on and all set to go.

Does anyone have problems with the volume? Mine doesn't seem to be loud enough to hear in the classroom. I push the volume button all the way up, but it's really not very loud. Any suggestions? I'm using an iPod (volume all the way up) to play music through it.

My ipod froze once. I went to the ipod website and tried all the listed cures and none seemed to work. After a day, the battery drained, I recharged it and it has worked fine since. I use the ipod in an ihome alarm clock with remote so that may have caused some problems but like I said, it only froze up once and has worked well daily since.

My iPod quit working after 16 months. It just wouldn't turn on one day at the gym. Completely dark even when I try to recharge it. I haven't a clue as to what's going on but it is very annoying since it is a 160GB iPod. I used this 5 days a week. Guess I'll take it in and see what the repair bill will be, but seriously, 16 months is not enough time for something this costly.

I recently bought the 8GB Nano from Amazon and returned it within a week due to the problems you describe. I thought I was the only one. 8GB Nano would freeze up at least once a day, and would sometimes turn on unexpectedly (when it was turned off and I would just pick it up) with a solid white screen that would not turn off and would not respond to button presses - I would have to reset it. I was so disappointed with my ipod experience that I requested a refund (rather than a replacment) so I can buy a competitor's product. I am jaded about Apple/iPod now.

Are you turning it off after use? You need to hold the power button down until the little light turns red. I was having to charge it every time I used it until I realized it needed to be turned off. I thought it would just shut off like the ipod does after a bit of time. Now that I turn it off, I can used it for many runs before needing to charge it.

Hi, S. Kessler. Maybe you can solve a problem for me. I received a ipod classic today, but I can't get it to set down on the dock. Tried adapter, but it won't fit either. Is there a trick to this or what?

I don't have an issue with the bass setting on mine. Have you checked the EQ on your iPod? Make sure it's not on Super Bass. Or, you can make sure you lighten up the bass setting.

Mine powers on but won't play my iPod anymore and that only worked a couple of times as well. Major let down

during set up, how was the volume set in your computer/pad/phone? i control the volume in my setup, from my iPad. i believe that i too had that issue, and my son enlightened me. i may also have incorrectly set up the blue tooth. certainly glad my son is patient... because i have only been retired from being a computer programmer for over 30 years, would have hoped that i would have been able to set up a small speaker on my own!

Sometimes there is a fuse inside. Was the speaker clipping too much? That could cause to blow. If using the ipod feature on high volumes or the usb, it can become dislodged

I love my waterproof ipod and use it a lot. So spoiled that I don't want to swim without music. Recently I have been swimming in a salt water pool and the last two times I used it I had problems. It quit playing and then came back in five minutes later. Right away I thought the salt was causing the problem. But honestly not sure what happened so ultimately not sure how to respond to your question.
