4G IPOD SHOWS POWER ADAPTER CORD

HELP!!! My 4g ipod has a frozen screen showing the power adapter cord connecting to an outlet even though I connected it to my computer. I just updated it with the latest software and it still shows it.

"My 4g ipod has a frozen screen showing the power adapter cord connecting to an outlet even though I connected it to my computer...the weird thing is is that i don't even have an AC charger."
I am confused...
You might want to look at Knowledge Base Document #93936 on iPod iconology or what does this picture on my iPod mean?. It says,
"This icon appears on the screen during an update or restore that occurs when iPod is connected to the computer via a low or no-power connector. This can include some USB ports and 4-pin FireWire ports. When this appears, disconnect iPod from the computer and connect it to the power adapter. Then plug the power adapter into a power outlet. The update or restore will complete and iPod will restart to the main menu."
I hope that helps,
Jon
[Never mind, I read it wrong. I thought it was plugged into the wall outlet and even though it had been plugged into the computer]

  • Apple iPod USB Power Adapter - ?

    Hello everybody!
    I've got a problem with my new iPod mini and I hope you may help me.
    After updating the new software for my iPod Apple told me to charge the battery with a Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which I don't have.
    I tried to connect the iPod to my computer (Windows XP) but there's always the picture of the adapter on my iPod. I've tried to reset it, restart the computer and so on ...
    But the display always shows this sign of the adapter.
    I hope you can help me, I'd be very greatful.

    but it's already worked with my computer, the iPod worked alright, so I don't think that I need this stuff you've just named.
    The iPod will work just fine without those things.
    It's the update/restore process that needs the A/C adapter.
    Anyway, you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to. I won't be insulted.

  • Using the iPod mini power adapter for iPod Touch

    Can I use my 1st generation iPod mini power adapter to charge my iPod Touch? The cable that it uses is a firewire cable.

    Thanks. Will try it when my battery runs out. And to answer the last post- "mabuti naman".

  • Using iPod mini Power Adapter to charge iPod 5G ???

    Hi!
    I got my new iPod 5G. Now I'd like to use the old iPod mini power adapter. It got a Firewire connection. Does it work? Or do I destroy my new iPod???
    Thanks a lot!

    The power adapters can be used with any iPod or iPod Nano, they aren't model specific. A 5th Generation iPod can be charged by Firewire, it just can't use a Firewire cable to update. Updating of any iPod after the 4th Generation or the Mini can only be done via USB.

  • Can the iPod firewire power adapter(LR56612 A1003, using 12V pin

  • Power Adapter Cord Transformer/Brick/Block Thingy

    The power brick/block on my power adapter cord get sooooo hot! How hot is too hot? This is a replacement cord after the first one's magsafe died. This one is the 85W. This one is working fine, but the block is so hot (seems especially hot today). If I hold it up to my ear I can hear a faint buzzing noise. Is this normal? Thanks.

    OK, thanks. That's what I have been doing (letting it sit asleep but on) have actually had this for... hmmm I think its having a 2 year birthday! But this brick is new and I think it might have just been the intensity of the cpu and the location of the brick. I hope. It was HOT. I could pick it up, but if I put my hand flat against it's flat side, it was too hot to keep my hand there. (is it of any use to actually measure the temp?) Right now it is on a table, actually near an open window so that is cool air, and it is just warm. Normal amount I think. Still making the buzzing only if I hold it up to my ear. Battery indicator says 96%. Cord itself is not warm at all neither is mag safe. I'm going to mark this as "solved." But do post if you/anyone has anything additional to add or if that one overheating episode sounds like a bad indicator of a problem. I don't want to leave it unattended if it is a fire risk. Most important of all because of our animals.

  • Power adapter cord will snap soon....

    It appears my power adapter cord will snap soon... It's slightly cracked towards the end where the cord meets the rectangular magsafe connector.
    Is there a way to fix this before it's too late?

    The only way this can really happen is if:
    1 - You accidentally tripped over the cable (or some other way) that yanked the Magsafe free from your MacBook by the cable. If this is the case, it did exactly what it is supposed to do... protect your MacBook from tumbling to the floor... sometimes at the cost of the much cheaper adapter.
    2 - You've been disconnecting the Magsafe by pulling the cord... which would have the same effect as #1. In order to disconnect the Magsafe connector, you should be doing so at the connector itself, not by the cord.
    There is no harm in seeing if Apple will replace it for you. I would not recommend attempting a repair on your own... especially since the damage is right at the connector. You don't really want to take a chance at creating a fire hazard for something that is reasonably inexpensive to replace.

  • Power adapter/cord for the Power Mac G5 A1177 EMC 2023?

    How do I determine the correct power adapter/cord for the Power Mac G5 A1177 EMC 2023? I suppose I would need a part number or identifier to look for a replacement.
    So far, I haven't been able to determine the answer from Apple's support search or other search methods. I do not have an original user's manual but the one I found on the net doesn't specify the correct power cord.

    Hi-
    That is a Late 2005 Dual Core machine?

  • Can't recharge using iPod USB power adapter

    My 2nd gen iPod shuffle will recharge ok when plugged into the USB port of my Mac, but when I plug it into an iPod USB power adapter it won't recharge, the indicator light does not light up, and if I turn the power on the light turns to amber for a couple of seconds then goes blank.

    This sounds like your iPod USB Power Adapter is malfunctioning... does it charge other iPods?

  • IPod Firewire power adapter??

    Hi I'm getting a Touch next week (actually somebody already bought it for me but its coming with it next week) and I have a 2nd (YES, SECOND) generation iPod with 15gb...
    They didn't come with a usb cable back in those days, there was only firewire 400... but i bought that firewire to usb cable from apple back then that had 3 ends, the dock connector, a firewire 400 and a usb 2.0.
    Here some pics to help

    http://flickr.com/photos/filipeg165/1480542704/in/photostream/
    The question is: can I use this power adapter with my new touch? it is not a usb power adapter, it is a firewire one because the port ON the connector is firewire.
    ps: yes I managed to make my SECOND (lol) generation iPod survive all these 5 years... and it still works

    to answer your qeustion YES. i had purchased the third generation ipod the one with the four buttons on top of the menu with the button in the middle was just touch... it lit up red on the buttons... but that was when they used firewire and jsut kept that with the ipod and i rmemberd how mad i was because i had windows and had to wait another week after christmas for my usb cord... but back then APPLE INCLUDED THE POWER ADAPTER working with the firewire cord obviously... but i wanted a way to charge my new ipod touch away from my macbook...
    so i plugged it in to the firewire charger all the way back from like 03 or 04 i cant remember i think 03... but anyway yes that firewire charger does work with the touch

  • Travel Adapter and iPod USB Power Adapter

    I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but this is all new to me so please bear with me I just bought an iPod video, a World Travel Adapter kit and the Power Duo kit - which contains a power block wall charger, USB mini cable, and car charger. I was looking at the plugs in the travel kit and do not see how they work. The product data says that it works with the USB power adapter - which at this point I am assuming is different than the power block wall charger? Can someone verify this for me? Also, can someone then tell me how these travel adapters plug into the USB power adapter (or power block wall charger) so that they can be used when traveling overseas. I can't tell from the photo of the USB adapter how this would be done...I don't want to buy yet another power adapter if I don't need one, but I sure can't see how they work with what I have so far or how they would work with the USB power adapter..I would have thought that the travel kit would have some with everything that I need but apparently it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance.

    ipod video   Other OS  

    Now I have hooked it up to a PC without itunes on it. The ipods says it is charging but when you disconnect you can see that the battery level is even lower. Does this mean that I should just take back the ipod to exchange it for a working one?
    Thanks

  • Using ipod mini power adapter for nano?

    I just got an ipod nano and I have a few questions:
    I noticed that it doesn't come with a charger (or power adapter?...not sure what it's called) which I thought was unhandy for traveling because then I can only charge it through a computer and I won't always have one around. I had an ipod mini before which did come with a charger. Can I charge the nano with my old ipod mini charger?
    And also I was stupid and forgot the instalation CD for the nano at my sister's who lives really far away, so I was wondering do I need the CD or is the software that I have for ipod mini ok too?

    Hi Hol,
    You can use any iPod charger. See charging FAQ's:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61127
    For the software, you definitely want the Nano software. You can download the Updater from Apple which covers all models.
    Good luck,

  • Macbook pro magsafe power adapter - cord melted

    Has anyone had the cord on their power adapter burn or melt through? I've had my Macbook Pro for 3+ years and taken great care of it. I experienced the battery bulge issues and has two batteries replaced under AppleCare. I came home yesterday to find this:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/jdgrif/MacbookProPowerAdapter?feat=directlink
    Any ideas?
    I realize I'm outside of my AppleCare now but I still find this alarming.
    Thanks.

    I would take MBP & Magsafe to your local Apple Store or AASP. Otherwise, see the following KB Articles;

  • Old iPod USB Power adapter ok for iPhone?

    Hey folks,
    Is the old-style iPod (classic) USB power adapter ok to use with the iPhone 3G? I wish I could post the picture of what it looks like ...
    It's that 1.5" x 1.5", white, biscuit jack-looking plastic adapter with retractable power prongs on one end, and the female USB port on the other. Plugged my old 60GB iPod dock cable in to the USB end, and the adapter to a wall outlet and viola ... AC power / charging ...
    Was wondering if I can do the same with my iPhone 3G dock cable?
    Thanks!

    Yes, that will be fine.
    All of the old USB charging accessories will work for the iPhone just fine. The firewire ones, however, will not.
