Radio just hums.

there is no way to charge it and play it at the same time, unfortunately, iPod touch is not supported for that format, only the latest nano and below.

Your iHome may be an older model with an the wrong charge type. Different iPhone / iPod generations use different charge voltage with iPhone requiring a higher voltage than your iHome gives. My suggestion would be to get an adapter that should fix the problem.

My ihome radio is not working

I got the iH8 as a present everything works fine except for the ipod alarm. the unit will play my music when i press the play ipod button, and recognizes its plugged in, but when i set the ipod alarm, without taking out the ipod or anything, it doesnt go off with my music, it just buzzes. Idont think it is the ipod because i have updated the software on the ipod and have even tried 3 different ipods with the iH8. i have had the iH8 for about 2 weeks and set it nearly every day, and out of all those times it has gone off with my music only 3 times. How do i get it to work every time!??

Just solved exactly the same problem by powering off and on the iPhone

No solution, but my iHome iH8 has the exact same problem. Took the bottom casing off to see if I could find a speaker fuse or reset button. No luck...

Just purchased a used iH9 and I can't get any sound from the radio or ipod. I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right and I've reset the iH9 by removing the batteries and disconnecting the power. Any suggestions?

Look at the Box and the Manual! 3rd Generation is not supported by iH9! Clearly marked on the Manual.

no, the remote is out of batterie.

Hey I figured it out. When you bought the 4th generation ipod nano it came with it's own dock insert. It fits perfectly and fixes everything, including the remote issues. Now my only problem is I have a black ihome and a white insert :( Good luck!
