About the USB Power Adapter

Hi! I'm from India. I've had my iPod mini(second gen) for a couple of months now. I recently asked my friend in the US to buy me a USB Power adapter (I'll be getting it in a couple of days). But what I want to know is that is there a voltage rating-limit on the adapter? Cos its 220 V rating here, unlike in the US. So is this adapter going to be useless to me?

Oh, I think I have one of those (AC prong adapters).
But thank you so so much for the clarification.
I am relieved now.
Thanks again!
Nikhil

Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd Generation?

Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd generation?
(http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTM3NDk1MjI)
The specs of the Adapter ("This accessory is compatible with the following:" in the "Overview" section) don't mention iPod touch 3rd generation. They do mention 1st and 2nd Generation
Thanks!

Thank you, Lyssa.
You must be right based on that article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353). The latest model of iPod touch is referred to as "iPod touch (Late 2009)" -- and NOT "iPod touch 3rd generation", as I erroneously assumed.
That completely answers my question about the USB power adapter.

Technical Specification of the USB Power Adapter

Hey guys/gals, do you know the exact technical specifications of the "Apple iPod USB Power Adapter"? I want to know its Voltage Input Range, Voltage Output, Power Output (Watts) and Pin Assignment, i.e. which pin is +V, NC and GND. Thanks.

The USB Power adapter isn't a smart device - much more like a charger: The only way to switch it off, is to unplug it from the A/C outlet.
But you may leave it pluged into A/C: Nothing will happen except a small consumption of electricity.
ad 2: You may view a video through your connected TV set, but there will be nothing like a TV menu to select it - if you want this feature you have to buy a 3rd party docking station.

The link says nothing about the power requirements. Or the connector for power. You have not provided enough information to answer the question.
Does the PS charge using a USB adapter? In general all devices that are charged using a USB power adapter expect between 4.5 and 5.5 volts (the USB standard). However, they have different current requirements (amps). You can always use an adapter capable of supplying more current than the device requires, but you cannot use one that supplies less. For example, an iPhone 5 requires 1 amp. However, you can use a 2 amp adapter with it.

The USB Power Adapter of the iPod AV Connection Kit

I am a new user of iPod and thinking of buying an iPod AV Connection Kit ("Kit") so that I can view video from TV. If I am not wrong, the "Kit" includes a USB Power Adapter, which charges iPod plugged. My question is "do I have to switch off the Power Adapter if iPod is unplugged?" Or the Dock is so smart that the power will be cut if the iPod is unplugged.
The 2nd question is can I select a video and/or music inside the iPod through viewing the connected TV by using the remote included inside the said "Kit"?
Thanks a lot

The USB Power Adapter NOT working for 3rd Gen iPod touch!?

Hi Apple dudes
Well.. Look here:
http://store.apple.com/dk/product/MB051ZM/A?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTEyNjA0NTg
As you can see, the iPod Touch 3rd Gen (I got 32 GB, 3rd Gen) isn't listed as a compitable device.. So now I don't know whether to believe the text or the compitable list.. I really don't wanna wasted an already outrageous price on a simple thing like a adapter - And really, what's up with you NOT being able to charge your iPod from a regular USB power adaptar - NOOOOO, it HAS to be the APPLE-MADE one, cause it's soooo white.. Yes, I'm frustrated, 'cause my first time with an Apple product hasn't just been as your slogan says: "It just works!".. Nop.. Problems, confusing software, and you wouldn't even let me now that my username was already taken when I creted this account. Come on... Took me several "Create now" and Browser-switching to figure it out..
Sorry for this aggresive ending, I hope you can help me with my problem after all
Regards
Alexander

Welcome to the  forums!
I can't help you with things like user names. Apple handles that; I'm an Mac/iPod user, not an Apple employee.
Tech specs for the unit you have can be found here: http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/specs.html. And, based on the back view (4th image) on the page you listed, I'd say you could use it for your iPod, because you should have the USB charge-cable that came with the iPod. (The one that plugs into the computer, and hence, into the back of the charger.)
However, I'm not an expert in European iPods, being American.
As for software...Apple software, if you're used to using Windows, takes time to get used to. I'm still finding things out, and I switched a year ago. It takes a little time.
Best of luck--
Doc

Can Airport Express USB port substitute for the USB Power Adapter?

Literature on website says USB port will only "recognize" printers. But can USB port be used to power iPod, since no "recognition" is needed, just power?

But can USB port be used to power iPod, since no "recognition" is needed, just power?
Yes, unless the iPod is a third generation full-size model, which can't charge from any USB source.

Eligible adapter for USB Power Adapter Takeback Program

I found out about the USB Power Adapter Takeback Program, so I brought my third party USB Power adapter to an Apple Retailer. But they refused to take it. They said that the adapter have to look like an apple adapter to qualify. Is this true?

Hi John,
the store I found on the takeback site you listed (under Apple authorized Service providers) told me they will echange anything except look alike chargers. I gave in three chargers, look-alike and non-lookalike. They duly registered the serial numbers on the ipad and iphone and said they first have to "book it in" before they can do the exchange. They booked it in ON the October 18, 2013, so I get a call a few days later saying they looked at the chargers but "they are fine".
The takeback site doesn't actually say the charger first has to be deemed eligible, in fact it clearly states: "We are offering this special takeback program for any USB power adapter". Further, "We will ensure that these adapters are disposed of in an environmentally friendly way" seems to be the only stated reason to book them in, not to evaluate eligibiity. The spirit of the takeback in fact is spelt out on the said page when it mentions: "Apple Retail and Apple Authorized Service Providers cannot advise you on the authenticity or safety of your adapter", meaning there is no evaluation just a takeback.
A takeback which didn't happen, which hasn't made me safer, and only creates mistrust and an air of deception.
Please advise, what is the service provider meant to do in my case?

New iPod touch 5th generation charger won't work with computers or USB power adapter?

I just got this charger less than two weeks ago and just yesterday it started saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work on this iPod." It will only work on some occasions, but most of the time it won't. Other times it will show that it is charging, but when I select to "Trust" my computer it stops charging. When I plug it into the USB power adapter, it rarely works (even when I try it in different outlets.) Any way to solve this issue?

If a non-Apple cable and the place will not take it back then:

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

Registering USB Power Adapter - Help

Hey, does any1 noe how to register the USB Power Adapter for the iPod? ive tried puttn in all the numbers on the boxes and it doesnt work and it says that its not a valid serial number. the problem is, i also dont have the receipt for teh adapter either since it was a gift from a friend so that would also disable me from knowing the "enrollment number" as well.. help or suggestions NE1? hit me back here or email me personally @
[email protected]
thanks in advance

What do you mean "register"?
Are you trying to register it with Apple for warranty purposes?
ive tried puttn in all the numbers on the boxes and it doesnt work and it says that its not a valid serial number
Probably because there is no option to register a USB power adapter. The registration page is looking for an iPod serial number which you want to register.

Shuffle wont plug into usb power adapter

I bought the usb power adapter that plugs into the wall for my shuffle,but the shuffle doesnt fit in the adapter. What do I do>

John,
I have two Shuffles, and both work just fine with the USB Power Adapter. Assuming you can plug your Shuffle into a computer's USB port, then the problem must be with the Power Adapter -- unless you're trying to plug the Shuffle in upside-down. For a new adapter the fit is tight, so push a little bit once you're sure you've got the Shuffle oriented properly. When you get it to fit, you'll find that the Shuffle charges best when it's turned OFF -- and be patient once you plug it in because it takes almost a minute for the Shuffle's status light to illuminate.

Will iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen work with 1st Gen USB Power Adapter?

Hi.
I have the iPod USB Power Adapter (M9837ZM/A) and was wondering if it will also work with the iPod shuffle 2nd Gen?
Mine only lists the original shuffle (naturally) and I just realized that Apple apparently re-designed the USB Power Adapter (MB051LL/A), which does list the 2nd Gen shuffle (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E82 45892&nplm=MB051LL/A).
Does anyone know if I can use my power adapter with my new 2nd Gen shuffle?
Thanks!

Will I be still pleasantly surprised when my iPod is fried?
So, what you're saying is, that whatever happens, it cannot do harm to the iPod?
If that's so, i'll give it a try.
