Playing on a Docking station

ipod touch has a light piece of plastic on bottom where it connects to the dock youtube has a video on how to remove it softly with a razor blade and once it is removed it will work properly although to be played through stereo i must have my ipod touch 4th gen on airplane mode

Mine will not turn on

I have an iLive bar speaker ipod dock and it has worked great until today. The sound isn't working. You can hear that it is on, but it isn't playing music. The display works and everything. Is this fixable?

Easy, I had this problem too. The reason it isn't playing is because its not in all the way. I was getting very frustrated with this, so I kept trying to push it onto the dock to get it all the way down.
Solution:
1. Play a song on your ipod/iphone so you can hear it through the device.
2. Connect your ipod/iphone to the docking station(Bose) so that you hear the chime(This lets you know its charging).
3. Pick up the docking station and firmly press the ipod/iphone down on the connector.
4. Keep pressing it and wiggling around until you hear the music begin to play through the docking station.
It may take a few tries, but you will get it.
Hope this helped!

Do a reset of your Ipod.

Should work then..

I had this problem for the pat two days. Believe it or not I took my Ipod touch of the dock. Shut the power off to the Ipod to reset it. Also the power to the docking station. turned everything back on. Put the Ipod back into the docking station and heard the beep.. and hit play and it was working again. Not sure but shutting Ipod off does act like a reset.

if it has a battery try replacing it

Best solution: DONT use that brand of dock! Zlive is known for that problem anyway.

The problem is that Atlec Lansing used a low quality (piece of ****) plug/interface for the dock. If you pull the top of the ipod forward while it is pressed fully onto the docking station, you'll get a surprise. It will work. This problem stumped me for days. Now, the next question is how much tension is the proper amount not to degrade the cheap plug further or damage the ipod itself.
