Does this work with iPod Nano (I guess 3rd generation - A1236)? I'm looking for speakers to play music in a nursery. Any suggestions?

If you have a BOSE soundock 1 it works because that is really what this adapter is for. If you want to use it for some other adapter check first only and see if it is compatible with other kinds, but this is only for sounddock 1 this adapter at least.

Thanks for your question. This will work with a ipod. This is a fantastic sounding speakwer. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Boston Acoustics dealer.

I sent this back because it was not adaptable to my Bose speaker system. Bought a Nano instead and bought an Adapter for it from the Apple store. I like seeing the screen to determine what I play!Hope this helps!

Yes, I have the same question, and will only purchase this item if there are speakers that can be used with it. I already have the CA portable digital speakers and use them with my (now full) 8GB ipod nano, doesn't look like the 2GB shuffle is compatible with these speakers.

Yes, it is possible to play your 7th generation Nano through this speaker system, but you won't be able to use the docking feature in the front since it is designed to only accommodate the older style iPods & iPhones with the 30-pin connection. However, you can play your newer iPod, iPhone along with other MP3 players and Android phones using a 3.5 mm male-to-male connector, which connects to the unit via the 3.5 mm jack in the back of the unit. The only downside to this is that your device won't be able to charge while playing like it would if it could be docked with the unit. However, in the case of my 7th generation iPod Nano, it seems to hold a charge for considerably longer than my older iPod Nano, so that isn't really a major drawback...

I'd like to know the answer to this too. Has anyone tried it? I'm afraid to upgrade to the ipod touch 4g unless/until I know if it will work with my iGroove SXT speaker system. Please advise. Thanks in advance. :)

I have a IPOD touch 32GB, it didnt work on this player. I had ordered the Altec Lansing IM600USB player from J&R through Amazon website. I have a 32GB Ipod Touch (2nd generation). The FM radio is working fine, but the Music from the Ipod wont play on the speakers. Also the Ipod doesn't seat correctly on the docking station. The Docking station adaptors which come with the player also didn't help. I had called J&R Customer support, they instructed me to call Altec Lansing Technical Support centre. The Technician tried to resolve the issue but he wasn't sure why the Ipod music wont come on the speakers & why it is not seating correctly on the docking station. He instructed me to return the player as there was no more troubleshooting that could be done over the phone. Also I had ordered Altec Lansing IM600USB player, the manufacturer box shows Altec Lansing IM600. I returned the unit. Waiting for Altec Lansing IM600USB to come on Amazon.

I use mine to play itunes from my computer and my ipod (which is a really old 2gig nano but still going strong, just getting full). My son bluetooths it with his Iphone5. You can't transfer music to it or charge electonics from it as it is a speaker only. Can play audio via bluetooth or the 3mm speaker plug. If the device can connect via either of these methods, you're good to go. Runs for 7 hours on a single charge.

If you use a link cable from the speaker of the IPOD to the Speaker Dock, and insert it into the port of the docking station on the back, then push the input button on the Speaker Dock, that should work. (It is the same cable/wire you use to connect your IPOD to a car's stereo system.) There is a port on the docking station that allows you to hook up other devices to the docking station and use its' speakers. Otherwise, I don't know.

Lisa, I am pretty low tech. I have an I phone 3. That is what I use. I just plug it right into the top of the unit and listen to Pandora. No cords......and it charges my phone while I listen to music.Sorry.......I don't have an iPod. I would think it would work. Oh, and by the way, this unit puts out some excellent sound and power. I have a 20x26 garage and it fills the room much better than expected. Good luck.

Don't even bother with the thing. They don't work, Altec Lansing have discontinued the speaker and provides no support for them! I have a lemon sitting here that is destined for the trash. The Logitech Rechargeable Speaker S315i with iPod Dock works well, is portable (cordless), and will recharge your nano.

My son used his with an iPod, I don't know which one it was, But beware, this iHome only lasted us for a few weeks before it stopped working.

I'm not familiar with the iPod, but if yours is an older iPod I think it should work fine. But for the newer iPhones/iPads there is a lightning connector adapter you can put on the speaker itself. I had a first gen iPad I used the speaker for, now have an iPad Air, so got the adapter and it works fine. Speaker also charges your device if you play iTunes downloaded songs. Nice. It's a great speaker.

I have the latest generation I-Pod nano. They provide uncompromised excellent sound and have a comfortable fit for my needs. The best out of whatever is out there (or at least whatever Best Buy has , as I sampled all that they have). Monitors work great with my I-Pod. One thing I noticed, though, that battery life decreases by about 20%. Difference being it takes more juice to power the Monitors as opposed to ear buds.

I don't have one of those so I can't guarantee my answer would be right, but if the nano takes a regular sized iPod jack then it should. If not you might be able to get an adapter. I love my little speakers though, so much fun.

I bought it to use with my generation 4 iPod shuffle, but the directions say it can be used with iPod nano 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th generation iPod nano. Unfortunately, it doesn't mention 6th generation. Sorry, I couldn't be more help.

Mine worked with my Bose sound link ll and my iPod Classic. I don't own a nano so cannot comment. Easy to use. Made my iPod much more portable.
