      Time sync may not work if you are using older iPod models like the iPod mini, which do not support this function. Ensure you are using a properly docked iPad, iPhone, or newer iPod such as touch, nano, or classic. Also, check that Autosync is turned on by pressing and holding the Clock Button, then the + or – Button to select Autosync On.

      First, ensure your iPod, iPhone, or iPad is correctly docked and that there are no obstructions on the connectors. Reseat the device in the dock. Also, check the volume setting to ensure it's not muted or set too low. Make sure your device is working properly before docking it into the iHome unit. If the issue persists, upgrade the software on your device via iTunes. Note that 1st or 2nd generation iPod, iPod Shuffle or other devices are not supported.
