How to use the iPhone 5 in the old iHome equipped for the bigger port?

I'm upgrading to the iPhone 5 but i have an ihome now that was very expensive so how do i fit my iPhone 5 on it?

You can get a Lightning - 30 Pin adapter that will connect your iPhone 5 to your iHome. It's $29 at the Apple store, but you can also find generic ones for less than $5 (see amazon link). Word on the street, unfortunately, is that these things break quite often (official or generic) so you are better off buying a few generic ones. (They won't damage your iPhone. They just stop working when they fail)

Hope this helps.

  • Why port forwarding on port 80? I have a foscam home security camera and it needs port forwarding on port 80 if I want to use my iphone to view it from outside. Surely enough, it works as soon as I open that port. But isn't port 80 open by default? Else how could I view http websites in the first place. I don't get it. It's already open so why open it again?
  • Why do I keep losing my sound everytime I take my iPhone off my iHome? I unplugged my iPhone from my iHome and I keep losing my sound and then I always have to restart my iPhone in order to get it back and then I unplugged it again and I lost it again. If there's anything that I can do to fix this please let me know.
  • Problems connecting my Iphone with my ihome? My iPhone needs a snugger fit with it's iHome. When I first bought it, it worked fine but now when I snap my iphone into the dock it doesn't connect unless I keep the phone pushed forward a little bit because it is leaning back too far. Also, it is not my iphone that is the problem, does the same thing with anyone elses. Any tips? None of the adapters to change the dock input work with my phone either, they are all too small. I have the iPhone 4 and the ihome iD91
  • Is there an ihome for the iphone 5? I really want to buy an ihome, but i can't find one that is compatible with my iphone 5. I don't want to buy one and put an adapter on it because i read that it could break the phone or the cord. I want one that is specifically made for it. Are there any out there that i just haven't found yet?
