Idog hasn't been used in awhile.. Does it charge like an ipod?

recheck batteries and need a meter to test circuit

check your warranty

Instructions

1. • 1 Check that the iDog is powered on if it doesn't respond to your commands. Press its nose to activate the toy.
     
   • 2 Verify that the iDog has fresh batteries installed if the dog doesn't turn on. Use a Phillips screwdriver to open the dog's battery compartment, located on the its right back leg. Insert two new AA-sized batteries according to the "+" and "-" symbols listed in the compartment.
     
   • 3 Inspect the iDog's connection to your iPod if it doesn't move and dance to your iPod's music. Plug the iDog's connector cable into your iPod. The cable end labeled "B" gets inserted into the headphone jack on your iPod. The opposite end goes into the front left leg of the iDog.
     
   • 4 Make sure your iPod is powered on if the toy is connected to the media player and is turned on, but not moving to the music. Your iPod may need recharged by connecting it to a computer with its included USB cable.
     
   • 5 Reset the iDog if it continually freezes or stops moving in the middle of a dance. Use the tip of a pen, paper clip or similar thin object to press the reset button located on the bottom of the toy's head.
     

put a corn dog in a fish tank and name it bob

Yes if this has a headphone out it will work with idog.Will need cable to connect between the two.

Hi. Try to reset the ipod by pressing the middle button and the menu button at the same time.

There a lot of products out there that claim to be made for the ipod and other mp3 players. Usually, there are different problems;cheap, thin wiring sometimes can break. There can be loss of audio on the idog or any other speakers like fold out speakers. Cool or not, they are usually not well made. I had what I thought was a really nice set of speakers. Heh, after I plugged in the first time, my ipod was cracking in the speakers and the ear buds. Even though they are cool, light up, and are (what you think is) a good brand, it does't mean that it is well made. I suggest an Apple iHome.

Have you followed up all the OM instructions (e.g. full charge, how to turn on very first time, etc.)?

WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is the IPod able to be recognized on the computer? If not, you could try the 5 R's,

Reset
Retry
Restart
Reinstall
Restore

You could also try to restore the ipod back to factory defaults and see if that would help
