Thanks for the suggestion... I've tried that - and it does work (hooking JBL up to PC, then docking the 2G iTouch... however, as my JBL is used in my bedroom, and my PC is in another room of the house - this doesn't quite work.

But oh well. It doesn't take but an hour to charge the 2G iTouch... so I listen to it on the speakers to go to sleep at night, and while I'm getting ready in the morning, I charge it.... by the time I leave my house - It's ready to go.

-   I have a 2G iPod Touch with a JBL On Stage II w/ remote... I get the same error message. The speaker system works with the sound - it just will not charge the device... annoying.-   reagan1powel

-   i have 2 ipod touches 1 ist gen 1 2nd gen
2 docking stations
and 2 official ipod chargers

the 1st gen will charge on all of the above
but the second gen will charge on none
i get the message that charging is not compatible with this accessory

i can only charge on my pc
which is rather large and does not work in my car

i can only assume that this is apple's way of extracting some more money from your wallet

i assume there will be a software fix but this will invalidate your warrenty


the best fix is to take your ipod back and use your money to buy a cheaper competitors ie zen

If you're willing to spend $40, there's an adapter available from Scosche Accessories. It comes in both black and white and they say it will convert any docking device to the new charging format. (The problem is that Apple has discontinued charging via the FireWire pin - which virtually all accessories - even including Bose - have used up to now. All the 2nd Generation stuff now uses direct USB charging, not FireWire.

Check out the convertor at:

I have the 2G touch, and got the error message. But now have plugged my usb charger (bought on ebay for under £10) into the back using the usb cable which came with the iPod Touch. Its a bit of a pain havin 2 plugs in the back of the JBL, makin it a bit more bulky, annoying since its most impressive for it's lack of size.
