i just bought a nano chromatic and it seems my d3 does not charge it. It charges my old ipod mini but not this one. any thoughts?

Nope. The new iPod Nano, iPod Touch and iPhones use USB now where the old ones used Firewire to charge. You will need to add a converter for about $30. I just ordered this one: http://www.griffintechnology.com/produc ... -converter.

 

Good luck

To be pedantic, there is no such thing as the "nano chromatic." That's apple's cute little marketing slogan for the new color spectrum of iPod Nanos. So, you have an iPod Nano. And no, it won't charge - its the newest model and uses the USB charging circuit rather than the older firewire one. You can buy a converter for about $15, or the Griffin model for $30.

sorry, not up to date on these new ipod names. do you have links to these adapters? so this will let my d3 charge it?

The Griffin product works great. I can'[t figure out how to get the Bose sound dock add on, but it works.
