Apple's website CLAIMS this dock supports video. However, I have tried 2 different universal docks. The older version apple sold 2 yrs ago has an S-video port. That one worked and supports video. I tried to use apples newer dock that requires their $30 AV cable and could not get video to go through to the TV. I tried on two different TV's using an iPhone 1st gen, an iPhone 3G, and a 160 gig iPod video. The results were alawys the same- S-vid dock worked, new universal dock is a piece of crap.
there's a way to assign your apple remote that came with your imac to your imac, and to assign the one that came with your dock to your dock, so I'd look at the apple website to see how this works
hey, i dont know if you've found this out already, but you can pair your remote to work with certain devices. ie: pair that iMac's remote to it, and this remote of yours won't control its front row
the dock is pretty cool and all considering it makes a good stand when playing videos and all(even though its not its manin purpose) but do you have any idea why it cost so much, it should only be like 20 bucks, they sell for fifty!
Okay. I now have the universal dock remote - to my 160GB classic. And I can say, that there are higher output from the dock, than from the iPod itself. Maybe because we have a 100db retriction here in europe, to protect the ears.
if iTunes is open on your Mac and you use the remote it doesn't open FrontRow...it just controls iTunes. i use it all the time. it does the same thing with the DVD Player App.
Just sync your iMac's remote with the iMac and then the iMac will only respond to the remote that came with the iMac and the remote that came with the dock will only work with the iPod.
i have like 4 remotes, all of the codes for the computers and docks and laptops are the same so it doesn't matter i have a bunch more (i am not even sure wich one is which)
How is the dock not good you have a remote and there is NO video throught the dock dip$hit

doesn't the dock come with the ipod touch?

no, if you have the remote close to the computer it will control whatever application (if it works) with the computer

I used to, i don't anymore, (i didn't download on purpose, i was doing it for another video to show features of the iPod
ipodtouchproductions 4 years ago
Yo, I like the vids but here's a tip
Turn your ipod screen brightness to 0% when video taping it, it`ll focus better and wont be all high contrast.

just put the touch in your jeans pocket with the screen facing you, and walk around. it will be as clean as new.
