    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. Any help please??

I THINK its because it was made before the ipod nano 4th gen and ipod touch so it does no support the system.

When I try to charge my iPod on my AZ-1330D (AZ1330D/37) Docking Station I get the message "charging is not supported with this accessory." The IPod is a Generation 5 Nano.

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.

Unsupported docking for Nano Chromatic

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.

Docking station

Hi!

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.


Thanks and good luck! =)

Ipod nano not charging on docking system, it has low battery if none, can play with a little charge on ipod but has to be charged with plug first, the docking system is brand new aswell and is charging...

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!
