Adapter "iSoniTalk" compatible with ipod touch 3g?

adapter "iSoniTalk" is compatible with the ipod touch 3g? I can use for example, calls on skype? therefore as a common microphone for ipod touch, just like a headset in the box of the ipod touch? Sorry in advance for my poor English, but I am Italian. I will buy the "Beats Studio By Dr.Dre" and in the box there is an adapter, the "iSoniTalk". I repeat, can I use it with iPod Touch 3g?

Well, dont know, if they have updated the description, or i just wasnt paying attention (probably the second), but i think this afternoon this app said that: https://itunes.apple.com/hu/app/temple-hydration-food-fitness/id661535754?mt=8
Anyway, now it just says iPod Touch, which in this case probably means 4th and 5th gen.
I think ive seen it in other apps describtion as well, and will post link next time, but now i just feel stupid
Thanks for the fast reply!

What is included in the "iPod Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack for iPod touch (4th generation)"?

What's in the box? Is it a small dock you can rest and charge your iPod on, or is it simply an adapter for the £50 Apple Universal Dock?
Please reply I'm really confused!

It's only a few adapaters so your iPod can sit and rest properly on Apple's Universal dock.

I have a docking station to charge and play audio from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Just bought a new ipod touch 5 th gen. Is there a converter/ adapter available so I can continue to use my dock?

Lightning Adopters
One of these adopters/cables should work:

Which universal dock adapter for iPod touch 4th generation?

When you go into the Apple store / cables and docks, you eventually find one labelled 'Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack for iPod touch' but when you go into the support article 300277 'Learn about Apple Universal Dock' it says to use adapter number 20 which has serial number MC598ZM/A, but when you click on the link on the serial number you get the information for 'Apple iPhone 4 Universal Dock Adapter 3-Pack'. Neither information page gives an adapter number or a serial number. So which universal dock adapter is the right one for iPod touch 4th generation?

I would get this one:

The one for the iPhone 4 will not work. You can always call Apple and ask them.

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".

Ipod touch 4g dock adapter

I have recently purchased an ipod touch 4g. I currently use a universal dock and would like to use it properly with my new ipod touch. I have looked at the "Official" ipod touch 4g adapter and it doesnt seem to fit very well. I am wondering if there is a dock that will better support the ipod touch 4g? Perhaps the adapter from the 2g touch? If anyone has any insight it would be much appreciated

The Apple Universal Dock works for many generations of iPod Touch's.
If you purchased one of these newer models it should have come with the correct dock adpater.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC746LL/A?fnode=MTY1NDA0OQ&mco=MjAyNDIwNTA
The only thing you need to change is the adapter for the correct iPod Touch.
#16 dock adapter is for the 2nd and 3rd generation model.
#20 dock adapter is for the 4th generation model.
If you don't have the #20 dock adapter, they are available from Apple here:

Connecting my iPod Touch to a power adapter.

Hi!
I had earlier an iPod Nano 2nd generation. I bought a power adapter to this iPod, which worked perfectly well. It was not bought in an Apple Store, but was produced by Hama, and ment for iPod. Later on, my sister charged her iPod Nano 3rd generation with my power adapter. After a while, her iPod started freezing. We don't know for sure that it was the power adapter that had the blaim.
The power adapter have theese specifications:
HAMA
MODEL NO. TA-03A
IMPUT 100-240V AC
50-60 Hz 200mA
OUTPUT 5.4VDC (This part is hard to read, since the text is almost gone, but I think it's VDC)
650mA ; Max. 3.5W
I haven't dared to use this power adapter to my new iPod Touch 16GB.
Will it work?

Unless there is a malfunction with the charger, it should work fine. Chargers for the iPods haven't changed since the 1G iPod ... they're all standard.

Is the "Apple Composite AV Cable" for Ipod touch a charger or power adapter

What I mean is that if it's plugged in all the time while playing it (on my stereo), is the battery being used (charger) anyway or is it directly getting the power from the power adapter therefore not using the battery therefore not using/draining the battery cycle (as a battery as a limited number of cycles in it's life). Perhaps it's not a charger/adapter thing but a Ipod Touch conception thing. If I use 24h a day the adapter, am I using the battery cycle or not? Who can answer me this for sure (Apple?)?
Also on a similar note, can I connect the Ipod touch on another PC to charge it (through the dock/USB cable) but without synching it (I know only one PC can synch but if I want to recharge the Ipod at my girlfriend's place on her PC without Itunes can I?)

Anyone else has an idea on the issue of if the Ipod touch uses the power adapter/charger as direct source of power and not through the battery? If the battery is now fully charged and the Ipod is playing (and plugged in) is only the adapter working or is also the battery?
remember the good old days when electronics could work with the adapter or the batteries of the time (non-lithium). If you didn't have a battery in it would work. Even if you did have a battery in, the adapter would be the source. I currently have a 20g Iriver and it displays a "plug" symbol when plugged in and playing and not the battery symbol which lets me to believe the battery is not being used.
I am concerned that if a lithium battery as lifetime of 500 cycles for example, and I use 5 hours a day the player (plugged in all the time) that 1 cycle will be done within 5 days even though I wasn't actually away from the power outlet. Of course I will use my Touch often away as well but overall by using 2h a day away and 3h a day plugged in, if it's the battery working all the time, my battery lifetime will be decreased by a lot.
Any ideas? Any way to ask Apple officially? email address? form they will respond to?

The Ipod Touch dock adapter!

Uh...What's up with the Ipod Touch dock adapter? I means it's kinda big, while other ipods it fits perfectly into the dock adapter. Is the Ipod Touch dock adapter supposed to be big? I mean there's gap when you put your IPT into the dock adapter. Hm....O_O

Ah okay. Thanks for the answer. When I first tried it out, i thought they put the wrong size in there~

USB Power Adapter for use on both iPod Touch and Mini?

Will the Apple USB Power Adapter that charges the iPod Touch also charge my iPod Mini? The Mini is not listed specifically in the compatibility chart. 1st and 2nd generation iPods are listed as compatible. Would the Mini be considered one of these? Just wanted to check before ordering the charger.

It's fine. Any adapter that is 5.0 or 5.1V DC at 0.5 to 2A (500 to 2000ma) will work.

Is ipod touch low battery life normal?

I just bought my new ipod touch. I found the battery life is quite short. Every day i have to charge it twice. Now I am keeping to use my ipod touch as less as possible to manage charging it once a day. This is really not compared to a regular phone, which you probably can use 3 or 4 days to recharge again.
The so-called dock adapter inside the box is quite tricky! I thought it is the power adapter. Normally when you buy a cellphone, it comes with the power adapter. But for ipod touch, you have to buy power adapter separately! I even don't know what's the use of this 'plastic' dock adapter. i called Apple and asked "You call this plastic piece an adapter!". It's a little funny!
During my first week using my ipod touch, it got stuck or crashed TWICE, two times! One time is when it downloaded an email with a 8Mb attachement.
In addition, I feel quite confusing with so many accounts with Apple, such as Apple store account, iTune account, iChat account, MobileMe account, and even this discussion forum account. Now I have 3 Apple IDs!
The use of MacBook is so far so good.
This is my experience with Apple's products!
Welcome comments and sharing your experience! i just couldn't help keeping myself silent.

Is ipod touch low battery life normal
Yes and no. Even in normal usage, Safari and videos can kill the battery in 4 - 5 hours, whereas music with the screen and WiFi off should last for 22 hours. Most iPT's can last for days in sleep mode, even with WiFi left "ON".
My previous iPod Touch had no battery problems -- the charge would only drop significantly when being used, not while sleeping. Now I have a replacement iPod Touch (the previous one couldn't install the 2.0 Update), and this one won't even last overnight in sleep mode.
Here's what I did in my last test: Turned all the WiFi services off -- Push: OFF, Fetch: OFF, Location Services: OFF, Ask to Join Networks: OFF, WiFi: OFF. Fully recharged the iPT, disconnected it and left it shut down overnight. Booted it up the next day, full battery (Okay so far). Next, I left the iPod Touch in sleep mode for the entire day (8am - 6pm), still full battery (Great!). At 9:00pm, turned on WiFi (and none of the other items mentioned above), used Safari for about 15 minutes, battery went down one notch ~ 90%. (Still normal) Put the iPT into sleep mode, but this time with WiFi left "ON". Woke up the next morning, and the battery plummeted to 10% in about 5 minutes. (NOT GOOD AT ALL).
My previous iPod Touch would have still had 90-80% battery the next morning. And while I would generally suspect the 2.0 Update being the culprit, everyone else I know has been running 2.0 without any problems -- no installation problems, no battery problems. I've been cursed with both issues in two separate iPods.
(I should also mention. I have not yet had a chance to install any media or applications on this iPod Touch, so there's no chance an errant application has somehow triggered a battery drain. This is just a plain iPT with the 2.0 Update and a restore of my Safari bookmarks.)

Charing the iPod touch with older charger?

I have been an iPod owner since the first generation 5 gig model. It's still going strong (it's my son's now). In the course of time I have acquired a few chargers -- two for home and one for the car. Both are the Firewire variety. Can I use these (with the appropriate cord or adapter) to charge my touch? Is the output of these chargers still safe to use? I don't have a newer charger to double-check to see if they're still the same. Thanks.

I have the second generation of iPod. I use the firewire and the adapter to charge my Ipod Touch to the wallplug. It works fine. You can't use the firewire cable from your computer to your ipod in order to synch it with the iTunes. So I use my usb cable that comes with my ipod touch to synch my music.
