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

My friend gave me one for free. It works great with my 3rd gen Nano. It adds the "radio" function to the ipod menu. I have used it simply for the remote option (not in radio mode) and didn't notice the extra drain on the battery that others complain about.

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.

I does not work with anything newer than the ipod nano 3rd generation. I bought an ipod nano 4th gen but it did not work in the iGroove. I still use the 3rd generation keep it in the iGroove which is in my garage for when I work on projects love the player it sounds awesome.

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.

I don't know. I've never tried to use the alarms/clock on it; I always use my phone. although, if you could set an alarm on your ipod, I think it would play through the dock

What "pin"? If you're using an extension 5mm wire plugged into the same jack on your iPod that the headphones plug into, that won't charge your iPod. No charging is capable via that port on the iPod. If you have your iPod plugged into the connection on the top of the radio via the port on the bottom of your iPod and it isn't charging but you have sound playing through the radio, then something could be wrong with either your iPod or the iHome radio. Try another iPod or iPhone if you have one. If the other device charges and plays fine, then the issue is with your iPod 4. If the other device has the same issue, then something may be wrong with the iHome radio. Also insure that your iPod is seated correctly, all the way down on the connector. There may be a soft "click" when it is seated properly. Hope this helps.

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!

iHome iH9 Alarm Clock Speaker System with Dock for iPod (Black)Just another data point, I agree that the FM quality is very poor, and I'm having the same problem reported by others with static and noise when using an iPod Touch 2G. It works fine with the iPod Nano 1G. I'm waiting to hear from customer service.

I use an iPod touch (not sure which generation, it's a few years old), and it works great. If you have the newest generation iPod/iPhone it may not be able to be plugged in, since Apple changed over to its new lightning dock from the old 30-pin style dock.Overall this is a great boat radio. I use it on a boat in Qatar, and it stands up against the extreme heat, dust, and salt water environment here better than any other boat radio I have used.

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

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.

I honestly have no idea, it plays my iPod nano 3rd gen just fine. I have seen a few videos where other people used the iPod classic on the mcr-040 which is just like this one but discontinued. The user guide says it only supports the iPod nano 2nd through 7th gen, the iPod touch 2nd through 6th generation. It is however compatible with all I phones and all iPads, that is if the newer models of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod nano and touch use the USB port on the front of the unit because of the lightning connector. Hope this helps.

I believe it takes anything that uses a lightening charge connection like the iPhone 5 and iPad 3rd Generation. If the iPod Nano uses the same lightening charger as the devices I listed then it should be fine. It will broadcast whatever you play on your device. If your Nano has the same lightening connection then it will play the radio through your Nano and into the speakers.

Return the AppRadio. You will not enjoy it even if the iPod magically starts working. There are new built-in Apple Play radios on the horizon. Wait. You'll be glad you did. Here's an article about Apple's CarPlay announced 03/04/2014: http://gu.com/p/3n84n

This only works for the ipod touch 4th generation or older. The newer ipod touch does not work since the connector is smaller than the connector on the radio. New ipod have the 9 pin connector.
