Whenever I plug my iPod through USB cable it will connect to my computer, but my iPod will not connect to the iHome. It will not even charge. Do i need to replace a part?
Is this a good question?

Steven Smalley, you did not tell us what model iPod your are using. You will have to make sure that your iPod is compatible with your iH5.

anything else will not work due to a reconfiguration of the dock connector. If you are connecting one of those iPods and still have issues with that, replace the dock connector on your iH5. You'll find some good instructions for that on here. Hope this helps, good luck.

You may have to replace the docking cradle, but another solution could be bad wiring, or the iHome itself may not be recognizing the iPod, as is a common issue with this model. The iH5 doesn't charge certain devices such as the iPod Touch, but may still play with it.

William, how do you do that "replace the docking cradle"? How do you check the wiring? Why is this "a common issue with this model."? Why would it not recognize certain models? You are guessing and not providing solid answers.
