Important Note: iPods released since Sept 2008 (e.g. Touch 2nd Gen, 4th Gen iPod Nano and iPod Classic 120 Gigabyte, iPhone 3g and onwards) have an updated dock connector that means older revisions of speaker dock may not be able to charge these newer models of iPod/iPhone. Older docks should play music from these newer models with no problem.
The problem with charging is due to Apple removing support for 12v (firewire) charging on these new models of iPod/iPhone. Only 5v (USB) charging is supported on these new models. ..."

When I plug in my Ipod to the inMotion im310 portable speaker the Ipod screen says it is not supported, and it worked this morning.

Check the pins on the speaker and on the plugin on the iPod, that's the problem usually. Also, check if the iPod is truly compatible, even if it worked before it may not be. I have seen car chargers for say a 2G iPhone work for a bit then say incompatible, it happens. Here are the compatible iPods for the iM310:

Plays and charges
iPod mini;
iPod nano 1G, 2G, 3G, 4G;
iPod classic 3G, 4G, 5G, 5.5G, 6G;
iPod touch 1G, 2G

Good luck!

Inmotion speeker dock wont charge new ipod touch

This is because you are using different generations.

If the dock was only meant for 1st generation, then itwill only charge 1st generation. It's how they make their money.

Doesnt charge ipod nano

I called Altec Lansing technical support (1-800-258-3288) and stated the problem with the 4th generation nanos not charging. The man I spoke with was aware of the problem and will ship a new unit to anyone calling in with the same issue. I am required to send my unit back to them and they will ship a new unit with a different pin configuration that will solve the problem. You are required to ship the unit with proof of purchase (copy of receipt) to the address they provide in Milford, PA. You will only be out the shipping charges to get it there. He mentioned that I should receive a new unit (Not Rebuilt) around 10 days after they receive mine.
