Explain charging process change, please

I've read thru threads about why the IPT G2 won't change with many adapters that charge the G1 and other iPods. The common explanation seems to be that earlier chargers / iPods used "Firewire 12v pins." I'm having trouble understanding this explanation. We have four iPods: 30GB and 60GB Video (5G I think), a 4GB Nano 3G, and a new Touch 2G. All but the Touch will charge on several docks / USB chargers we have. The Firewire 12v explanation does not make sense; the USB spec has always been for 5vdc on the outer two pins (1 and 4), it's never had a 12v output, yet our other iPods all will charge fine on a USB adapter.
Can anyone offer a more complete and accurate explanation about what changed on the Touch 2G and other new iPods? If I'm totally missing something here, please set me straight.
Thanks,
Jack

The explaination is simple:
Over two years ago Apple switched to USB charging for iPods. They maintained compatibility with Firewire to give other manufacturers a chance to make the change. Unfortunately, the other manufacturers, for the most part, just 'sat on their hands' and didn't make the change in their accessories.
Firewire charging and USB charging use different pins in the docking connection. Firewire voltage can vary from 8 to 30 volts while USB is just 5 volts.
Apple has never explained the reason for the change. We aren't supposed to speculate on Apple's plans.
Let me just say, as one who has been involved in the design and construction of electronics equipment for years, if I were trying to make a small device with lots of features, I wouldn't maintain two sets of charging circuitry and would drop the higher voltage charging for size and heat reasons. Apple may well have a completely different reason for making the change.
BTW, according to http://pinouts.ru/Devices/ipod_pinout.shtml , pins 19,20 are the Firewire + charging pins and pin 23 is the USB + charging pin.

  • Please explain consignment process in details along with SPRO customisation

    [Consignment|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/HTML/J58_CustConsProc_EN_KO.htm]
    Also go though the extract below
    The consignment process in SAP standard consist of four small processes: 
    Consignment fillup (send materials to customer consignment). 
    Here you have a consignment fillup order and a consignment fillup delivery. 
    Consignment issue (issue materials from customer consignment to the customer). 
    Here you have a consignment issue order, consignment issue delivery and a consignment issue invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal OR flow, but the materials are issued from the consignment stock instead of plant stock unrestricted). 
    Consignment return (return materials from customer ownership to customer consignment). 
    Here you have a consignment return order, consignment return delivery and a consignment return invoice. (the flow is very similar to a normal RE flow, but the materials are returned to the consignment stock instead of plant stock returns). 
    Consignment pickup (pickup consignment stock and move it to plant stock). 
    Here you have a consignment pickup order and a consignment pickup delivery. 
    Note that in consignment fillup and consignment pickup there are no invoices since there is no change of ownership for the materials. 
    How to perform a consignment order?
    In consignment orders you are allowing the stock to sit in your customer location. Once he informs that he used the stock you will invoice him. If he returns the stock you will accept the stock to take it back.
    It is defined in 4 steps.
    1. Consignment fill up: 
    Sales document type is KB
    Item category KBN
    shedule line category E1
    In this step, you are not invoicing the customer. document flow is sales order -
    delivery item category. It will not be relevent for billing and pricing because you are not charging money for these goods in this step.
    In schedule line category, you will set movement type 631 & set for availability check and TOR.
    2. Consignment Issue.
    Once the customer informed you that he used all the goods or partial goods then you will create consignment issue for used goods.
    Sales document: KE
    Item category: KEN
    shedule line category: C0 or C1
    Here you are invoicing the customer(because he used the goods). you are assigning the delivery documnt and billing document to the sales document.
    In item category, you are setting relevent for billing, pricing, special stock.
    In schedule line category, your setting is 633 movement type, relevent for availability check & TOR.
    3. Consignment Return:
    Customer found that some goods are damaged or he not able to sold the goods he want to send it back. that you are creating this document.
    Sales document type: KR
    Item category: KRN
    Shedule line category: D0
    You will assign delivery document and billing to sales document. you will create return order, return delivery, return billing.
    Your setting item category relevent for billing, returns, pricing, special stock.
    Your setting schedule line item category: 634 movement type, NO availability NO TOR.
    4. Consignment Pick up:
    Even if you create the consignment return the goods are not come to direct to your plant. For that you need to create consignment pick up. here the owner ship is not changing so you do not need to create billing.
    Assign retrun delivery to sales document type.
    Sales document: KA
    Item category: KAN
    schedule line category: F0 & F1
    Your setting item category relevent for returns. any shedule line category relevent for 632 movement type, MRP, availability check, delivery.
    Now you check your plant stock. Stock will increase.

    But now , the hole process of sign uping is changed , please remove the wrong guide its not working , and why apple not let to access the free app .!!!

    Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Charged whilst changing my password in itunes store

    Hello,
    Could somebody please clarify whether Apple charge whilst changing the apple id, itunes store password?
    I changed my login password for the itunes store today, using my apple id and somewhere along the process, I received a request from apple asking me to validate my purchase, which I did. I then received an alert, from my card issuer, informing me that USD 1 was debited to my card via itunes store.
    I immediately checked my purchases history and there were no purchases for USD 1 and neither are there any new apps downloaded, hence my query as to whether Apple charge everytime you either chage or rest your password. If not whom do i contact to refund my money?
    Thanks,

    You weren't charged.
    Your credit card was validated for the new ID, similar to what happens when you're "charged" for a free download.

  • CAN ANY BODY EXPLAIN ABOUT "PROCESS DEFAULT" IN SSAS PROCESSING OPTIONS

    Hi, i am working with SQL Server 2008R2.
    working for SSAS Tuning. 
    I want to Know about "PROCESS DEFAULT" option, whether it calculates the aggregations on Measure groups and Dimensions for both or not.
    Please explain me about this Option in detail..
    SUPRAJA'S

    "Default" processing is mainly useful during development, when you tend to change structures of objects of the cube, but the data content does not change. Then it optimizes processing, only processing the parts of the cube affected by the structural
    change.
    Default processing detects the state of all objects like dimensions, cubes, measure groups, partitions, aggregations. The state can be any of processed, unprocessed, or partly processed. Process default brings the partly or unprocessed objects to processed
    state. It does not check if any data has changed on the relational data source, it just checks the state of the objects in the database.
    An object can get to unprocessed state in one of the following ways:
    If you newly create it.
    If you change the objects structure. making sub objects just visible or invisible does not change the structure, nor does renaming sub objects in most cases, but adding or removing sub objects does.
    If you explicitly unprocess it (using the Unprocess or Clear process options of the process command).
    If you process an object on which the current object depends, and do that in a way that does not keep relations. E. g. if you do a full process of a dimension, all measure groups related to the dimension will get unprocessed. If you do a "Process Update"
    of the dimensions, the measure groups stay processed.

  • My iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, but when connected to my brand new ASUS Windows-8 laptop's USB 3.0 port the charging process just keeps "blinking" on both the iPod and the laptop and will not connect to Itunes...

    Hi, I HATE to ask for help with this, but I HAVE looked everywhere and Google searched different wordings and have not found anything similar nor a solution to my problem!                                                                                                                                                                                                                               My good old iPod 4th-gen charges just fine in any wall outlet, in any house, but when I connect it to my brand new ASUS laptop that has Windows-8 and 3.0 USB ports using the charging/data cable, the charging process just keeps "blinking" BOTH the iPod and the laptop and it will not connect to ITunes and I get "A Device is Detected" message that keeps popping up and going away over and over right above the Windows desktop toolbar.                                                               When I go to control panel and select "Devices" it does show the iPod, but for only a split second and than it disappears, but than it comes back again for a split second and than it disappears again and just keeps doing that over and over and over!                                                                                                                  I have tried resetting the iPod while it is plugged into the laptop by holding the power and menu buttons, that did no good.                                                             I also tried uninstalling iTunes and any other Apple stuff listed and reinstalling it all, that did NOT work!                                                                                          The iPod, the laptop and iTunes ARE all fully updated!                                                                                                                                                                I AM using a brand new charging/data cable that I just opened up an hour ago (I've learned to keep a few brand new ones around at all times since these piece of garbage rip-off cables hardly last a week, even when you baby them!).

  • "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed.  Please try again later" iTunes Store

    I have a user with a new iPad2, who has set up an iTunes account.  It takes her username and password, which it recognizes (it fails if she fat-fingers it).  Then it says that it is a new account, and offers her the terms and conditions which she agrees to, and then it takes her to the screen asking for her personal info and credit card info, which she fills in.  Then it pops up a message from the iTunes Store that says "Your request is temporarily unable to be processed.  Please try again later." 
    She has tried this multiple times over the past week, same error each time.  This morning, just to vary things a bit, we tried logging in to her account in iTunes on her iMac.  (If nothing else, a real keyboard and mouse is less painful...)  Exactly the same behavior -- it clearly knows who she is, bringing up address information, etc. when she puts in the right username and password.  But it will not complete the signup with the iTunes store, so she cannot get applications (even free ones) downloaded on to the iPad.
    If I sign in with my appleID and password (set up years ago, and with iTunes gift card credit on it) it simply takes it and works -- but not on her credentials.

    Found this discussion:  https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3603097?start=0&tstart=0 which was really helpful.  The problem is that we were trying to change this person's credit card associated with the AppleID from her personal card to her company credit card.  Going to http://store.apple.com/us/account/home and trying to Edit the credit card information at least got us to a more useful error message -- it complained about the credit card billing address.
    So we went to Plan B, and created a new appleID for her, following these instructions http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 to get her an appleID without a credit card.  It then happily completed the registration process, and now she can download free apps.
    When she needs to buy an app, I'll probably be back.  (Sheesh, apple, this should NOT be this hard to give you money!!!)

  • Free of Charge Process in CIN Version

    Hello CIN gurus
    My CIN experience is little rusted. I  have a question around Free of charge process CIN specific.
    When I use item category YANN (copy of TANN) and the Pricing field is blank the table J_1iexcdtl is not updated with the BED . However if it is flagged as "B" the BED is updated in the table.
    I am not convinced that this is the solution as we have the free goods functionality for other countries and it would impact those processes.
    Any idea how I can achieve this requirement in CIN without the flag"B"?.
    Thanks a lot
    Sunny

    Hi,
    As per my openion don't use the TANN item categeory. Define new pricing procedure there please keep price statistical and use  R100 condition type with G/L assignment (expenditure).
    Hope you got Idea.
    Thanks

  • I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

    I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?

    I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
    The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
    If I get solution, I'll post it here.

  • Wall adapter not indicating charging process

    My wall adapter of iPhone 3G "works" very strange: when I connect it to iPhone nothing happens. No bolt on battery in status bar. Lock screen shows just a background, no battery indication. And battery level does not change until I disconnect wall adapter from iPhone! After few secs charge icon in status bar changes to 100%! I tried only big charge timess so iPhone could fully charge.
    So I just feel very uncomfortable of not knowing if charge process has began or I forgot to connect one of the wires

    When you plug in to charge, the battery indicator should appear on the screen and the icon in the upper right of the battery will have a lightning bolt on it to indicate charging.

  • TS50000075(Process Change Request (Web)

    Hi All,
    We have customized a standard PCR workflow WS50000031(2 level approval) based on our requirements, which is using another sub -workflow for approval step..
    The sub-workflow has a step for task TS50000075(Process Change Request (Web)).
    The problem is, the above workflow step creates an workitem which appears in SAP Inbox as well in UWL..
    When the item is processed from UWL it does not have any effect, but the item retains in the UWL with status 'In Process' as well in SAP inbox with status 'Reserved' and the workflow execution does not happen further.
    But, when it is done from Inbox, the item disappears and workflow execution continues..
    Please let me know how could I resolve this issue..
    Thanks & regards,
