3rd Generation Nano won't work on Bose Soundock Series 2 speaker

My 3rd generation ipod nano will not work on my new Sounddock speaker.
I have tested other ipods on this speaker and they all work fine.
When I sent my ipod back to Apple for review, they told me that there was nothing wrong with it and that it should be working fine now.
I have tried once more to work this and still nothing is happening!
It seems that the fault is with my ipod.I have already used other Sounddock speakers from the store and my ipod won't work on any of them!

Has anyone else experienced this problem with Ipod 3rd generation and Bose Soundocks? I don't want to shell out more money when this seems like an Apple product problem that they are not willing to admit.

Thanks Katherine

The first question I'm not sure. Is that the wireless network system that works with the wall outlets for power and networking?

The answer to the second question is No. You can only transfer playlists from ITunes into the IPod. Make sure your playlists are created in ITues before transferring.

I just bought the ipod nano 6th generation and it will not charge in the Bose docking system....my old one charges with no problem.....is there a fix for this? The nano plays fine it just wont charge

If it is a different model iPod then it is likely the Bose dock does not support the newer model. Quite often changes such as from iPhone 3 to iPhone 4, Bose had to release a new dock. The speakers and music will still always work, but the support will be limited for charging. Unfortunately you will not be able to fix this, other than upgrade the dock, or go back to your old ipod.

Thumps Up!

My 3rd Generation iPod Nano died and won't charge.

You may just need to leave it plugged in for a few hours and see if it comes to life. It is usually the case.

I am sure you will be fine.. give it a try

Problem with Ipod Nano 3d generation and Bose Soundock

Try other iPods - if they work with no problems it is a problem with the iPod software, connect this to iTunes to get it updated, and also try a soft reset (hold down menu+center buttons for about ten seconds) if you still get issues, contact Bose.

Gen 3 nano and bose docking station

Have you tried another iPod on it?? I suspect that if you do, that one won't work either. If it's a Bose SoundDock then they are well known for having problems with the iPod connector getting loose. Try with another iPod. If results are the same, take your SoundDock back. Bose should exchange it straight away.
