Apple 5w vs apple 12w usb power adapter?

Which should i buy for my ipod touch 5 the apple 5w or apple 12w usb power adapter?

Apple has not said. Unless the charger has a very small output, like less than 500 mA, charging rate is controlled by the iPod.
The 5G iPod has a 1,030 mA-h battery
Apple says it charges to 80% in 2 hours
That would mean a charging rate of about 400 mA/hr neglecting charging efficiency
So I guess about 500 mA/hr with efficiency included.

  • 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.

  • How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?

    How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?
    Ours has stopped working and we presume it must be an internal fuse, but how do you access it as there is no 'slots' as on the 12w version?
    All UK power devices must be fused to comply with regs but I can't work out how you open the 5w adapter to change the fuse.

    This is the power adapter I have http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD812B/A/apple-usb-power-adapter
    Is it really only a 12 month warranty? Seems a waste and environmentally criminal to throw away an adapter without being able to check the fuse!?

  • 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.
    Laura
    iPod mini   Windows XP  

    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.

  • No DHL Here - Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program

    There is no DHL shipping center where I live but the message I got from the Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program is to ship via DHL; what should I do?

    Mine was delivered by Fedex, with instructions inside to call DHL to pick it up for the return. Well, I don't have DHL service in my area either. After calling Applecare 4 different times in one day and spending I don't know how much time on hold, I finally talked to a human, who's expert solution was for me to take it to the post office!!!!! I explained that it had a prepaid DHL sticker on it, he said he didn't know why the Post office wouldn't honor that, or maybe I should call Fedex to come pick it back up, they would probably honor the DHL sticker too? I suggested that I would be near an Apple Store the next weekend and could take it there myself, he put me on hold for another 25-30 mins to check with someone to see if this could work. When he finally came back, he was pretty sure it would, if not they could just have DHL pick it up from them, since they use them anyway. This should not be this hard. I was sold a defective product, give me my better improved product and a simple way to get rid of the one that is going to kill me and my family without me having to make 4 phone calls, be given no real solutions to my problem, and in the end I have to come up with the answer myself.....Wonderful customer service.....

  • Can Shuffle play while charging on Apple USB Power Adapter?

    Hi,
    We would like to purchase a shuffle (2nd gen) to play continuously music on hold to our company's telephone system. The Phone system's audio-in jack is compatible. I've connected my 1st Gen iPod shuffle to the phone system, and it plays fine.
    We will not be able to plug the shuffle into a computer, so we will need to plug it into the Apple USB Power Adapter.
    Is anyone doing this? Does it work? Any problems?
    Thanks,
    David

  • Can I charge an iPod Classic 3G with the Apple USB power adapter?

    I have just buy an iPod Classic 3G with 15  GB (SN JQ4239GQQQF) from ebay.
    I have read that it's posible to sync it with my PC with Windows 7, but, It is not possible
    to charge it by usb.
    I could charge it with the Apple USB power adapter?
    Thanks

    With that particular model, only the Firewire cable and connection will provide power to the device.  The USB cable is only for syncing.
    Using the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire and USB 2.0 Cable
    Here is the cable you'll need.

  • Old Apple USB Power Adapter with new nano

    Hi. I have an older Apple USB Power Adapter (model A1102) that I've been using with an Ipod Mini (bought it with the mini a long time ago). I have a new 3G nano on order. Will this power adapter work with the new nano? Or will I be forced to buy a new one?
    Output from the adapter is 5V - 1.0A
    Thanks

    Since I also converted from a Mini to a 3G Nano, I thought I'd give you a couple of pointers; I probably spent a couple of days preparing my existing mp3 library (and that says nothing about videos).
    1) Make sure all of your mp3's are NOT marked read-only and load everything you want into the NEW iTunes
    2) Work on collecting/saving the NEW things like album covert art and lyrics (I sometimes use the lyrics area to list musicians/personnel)
    3) Re-construct your playlists and SAVE everything (iTunes actually writes back to the mp3 files--that's why you don't want them read-only)
    4) Only then start messing with videos, because they tend to crash iTunes depending on your hardware, OS, etc. (for example, iTunes doesn't work well with Vista). My best advice for videos is use a 3rd party converter (like Nero Recode) to ensure iPod format compatibility; don't even waste your time with iTunes for anything that isn't a downloaded/purchased item.

  • Apple 5W USB Power Adapter

    This may be a dumb ? but I can't find a answere to confirm if the Apple 5W USB Power Adapter is also a surge protector or not.

    It's not advertised as such, and I certainly wouldn't rely on it to function as one.

  • Old Apple USB Power Adapter with New Shuffle

    I just purchased a shuffle (2nd gen) and was wondering if I can use the Apple USB Power adapter that I use for my ipod (5th gen - the adapter is about two years old) to charge it, or can I only use my computer? The Apple store shows that it's compatible with the newer adapters, so I'm assuming I should be fine, but wanted to make sure.
    Also, is there anyway to check on the computer, once the shuffle is docked, how full the charge is or isn't?
    Thanks!!

    It should work... try it!

    The only indication is the status LED, it's either orange for charging or
    green for "charged"...

  • Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 running 10.8.4? Tried mini display to VGA cable

    Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop?  Would like to use larger screen when working at home.  I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work.  When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer.  What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible?  Any assistance would be appreciated.

    11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
    This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
    Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
    Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
    So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
    When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
    Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
    Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
    When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
    Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
    If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
    If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
    To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu.

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

    Hi,
    my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
    Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

    indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.
