I have this same problem with my ipod nano gen 4, but on the Homedics SoundSpa Fusion Clock Radio. Homedics has the worst customer service hours, only when I'm at work and this is my home unit.

There may not be enough power from the docking station to power the nano. There are also rare times when it wont charge because the ipod doesn't recognize it and wont charge to protect itself. Try plugging it in directly into your laptop if possible.
Maybe this could be the solution... Source: http://www.speakerstation.co.uk/ipod-speaker-docks-ct-87.html "... 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. ..."

Get one of these to sole your problem. ipod change their charging circuit I found one at Walmart in the ipod accessories section. Its called the Passport home dock adapter. http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/1695
- this accessory supports charging for the iPhone 3G, iPod touch (Gen 2) and iPod nano (Gen4) with most iPod docking stations - Snaps into any iPod universal dock and accepts universal dock adapters
Your docking stations support the previous generation nanos but not current. If you can, return the docks otherwise you'll have to fork over the cash for a new one.
I would suggest that you by-pass any docking stations and connect it directly via usb charger as most ipods do. And also, try to update Itunes and your Ipod Nano software.
for some **** reason the new ipod nano (4th generation) does not support FireWire and therefore will not charge on any docking station that is a FireWire power sorce - which seems to be most of them out there!
have same problem so will end up charging from computer as docking station still plays the new nano, no point in buying new docking station just for sake of charging!
I have the exact same problem. Sorry, nothing to add, but a "me too"
I have the 2G iPod touch and it says the same thing. My daughter has the 1st Generation iPod touch and it works for her. ???????
