IPod Touch: charging with Windows 2000 SP3?

Hello,
I've got an iPod Touch 2nd generation, and I'm a mac user.
At work, I have a Windows 2000 PC, Service Pack 3. I wanted to use this windows machine to charge (with USB) my Touch, but it didn't work directly. So I tried to download iTunes, but it requires SP4 at least.
What can I do? The PC isn't able to give energy to the USB port, if the device isn't recognized?
Thanks for any help
Frederic

The following applies to XP and I assume Vista, but I am not sure if this option was in 2000 or not. But you can check...
Well one thing you can try it telling you computer to leave the USB ports on all the time. XP (and I assume Vista) has a power saving mode where the USB ports are powered down if they are not in use by the operating system. I think that is the default mode. This is more of a setting beneficial to Laptops, but if you have a desktop, you might want to disable to power saving modes.
Start -> Control Panels -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device manager
In the window that opens, expand (click on the sign) next to Universal Serial Bus Controllers
You will see a number of things in that list. You want to RIGHT-Click on the "USB Root Hub" one. I am not sure if you have more than one if they still point to the same one, but open and change each to be sure. Anyway, right-click it, in the pop up menu pick Properties. In the next screen, pick the Power Management tab. There is a check box to "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power". I think default is checked, so that the ports power down. You want to unselect that box forcing your USB ports to stay powered up all the time.

  • Will Ipod Touch work with Windows 8

    Will IPod Touch work with Windows 8?  Why is that not even a listed option in the help feature?

    Apple has just not got around to revising the documentation to reflect Win 8. Just use instructions for Win 7

  • HT1476 Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger?  I tried to use a wall charger by Nook and it didn't work.

    Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger?  I tried to use a NOOK wall charger, but the ipod touch wouldn't charge.

    Likely the Nook charger does not provide enough power to charge the iPod with the screen on. You can try leaving the charger connected overnight (iPod sleeping) and see if it is charged in the morning.

  • Can i use my US ipod touch charger (with adaptor) in Norway without burning out my iTouch?

    We have a 2nd Gen and 4th Gen iPod Touch.  Can we charge them safely in Norway using our usual charger plugs that came with them, after adapting the plug to fit the wall, of course?

    Yes, the chargers are auto-switching universal voltage (all Apple power supplies are so).  All you need is the plug adapters to fit the wall sockets.

  • Can the iPod Touch Sync with Windows XP

    I am contimplating purchasing an iPod Touch to replace my Palm Pilot.  Okay, you can stop laughing now.  I intend on using the iPod touch for mostly contacts and calendar events.  I also realize there is no way to transfer my current information on my computer to the iPod Touch.  But is there a way / program that I can load on to Windows XP that will sync information?

    - If yoo use the Communities search box in the upper right and search for palm and restrict the search to the iPhone forum you will find out how to import your Palm data.you will find out how to get your Palm contacts and some other stuff into your iPod
    If you purchase a 3G or later iPod you can go to icloud.com (requires iOS 5 or later) on the computer and access/edit/add contacts, calendar and maybe some other stuff.

  • Fix for iPhones and iPod Touch's with Windows 7 x64

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/10/30/iphonep55problems/
    Looks like it's a chipset issue, not sure if it's the Apple driver or what, I have a X58 chipset as well, but both chipsets use the ICH10R USB hardware.
    I went out and bought a cheap inland PCI adapter that uses a NEC USB chipset and tossed it into my machine and now I can sync, unplug, sync again etc.
    They're about 7-30 dollars depending if you spring for PCI or PCI Express.

    Specifically, two of my laptop vaio running Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit & 32 bit. Have the same result.
    When installed, it is a notice like this.
    Click ok, then continue running the program itself. Running a time, this message pops up.
    Click Ignore to continue running it, wait for it for the end.
    I launch itunes, it will not boot. This notice is
    iTunes.exe Entry Point Not Found
    Theprocedure entry point AVCFAssetCreateWithByteStreamAndOptions couldnot be located in the dynamic link library AVFoundationCF.dll.
    Apple, help us!.
    Sorry for my English ^^!

  • IPod touch 3g with 2g charger

    I've been trying to find a charger suitable for my third generation 32GB iPod touch, and while I've found many that are compatible with the 2nd generation iPod touch (and say nothing about 3rd generation iPods on the box), those I've tried have worked strangely. The iPod does charge, however when my iPod is connected and I try to type, using any application, some keys I didn't touch are written as if I had, and the touch interface in general works in a bit of a weird manner.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any risk in using a 2nd generation iPod touch charger with my 3rd generation iPod touch? Do I have to use a charger specifically designed for my iPod?

    A charger for a 2G Touch will work fine for a 3G ... there was a charging change between the 1st and 2nd generations, but not between 2nd and 3rd.
    Your touch screen issues are very likely something else, nothing to do with your charger as long as it was designed for iPod.

    Hi to all !!
    Just wondering if it's possible to use Ipad 2 wall charger to charge my Ipod touch 4th generation...
    Any help?
    Thanks!!

    Yes you can do that without problems.
    The other way around (charging iPad with iPod Touch charger) will not work because the wall charger of the iPod Touch does not deliver enough power for the iPad.
