Apple FireWire Power Adapter and iPod Classic

I just looked through the user guide, and it doesn't mention anything positive or negative about using the Apple FireWire Power Adapter that came with my 3G iPod. Any chance I'm going to fry my new iPod if I try charging it with the Firewire Power Adapter?
Thanks,
Steve

No, you will not fry your new iPod.

  • Is it possible to use the firewire power adapter for ipod to charge an Ipad

    There is information everywhere that the Ipad doesn't charge with low power adapters.
    The first power adapter I received with my first Ipod was the firewire power adapter and it allows intensities even higher than the 10 W Ipad adapter.
    Could this old adapter be used with Ipad
    Model n. A1070 output 12V 6.7 A if I believe what is written on it.

    You should only use a USB-type charger for the ipad. Any other charger is risking damage to the ipad.
    The ipad uses 5Volts at 2 amps for best charging. This is why it came with the wall charger.
    You can charge it with any 5 Volt USB charger as long as the output amps is approximately 1 amp or more. If the amps rating on the charger is less than 2 amps, it will charge slower, but it is safe. The ipad will only draw the current it requires, but any voltage higher than 5 volts is risking damage to the ipad.
    Hope this helps.

  • Will USA Apple Firewire power adapter cope with 240 volts?

    Hi, just bought an Apple OEM firewire power adapter, see here
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330275832822&ssPageName=ADME: B:EOIBSA:US:1123
    Anyone know if this will this work without a voltage convertor in UK & Europe?
    It's for an iPod mini.
    I know one can charge by connecting to computer but it's more convenient to plug into the wall.
    Thanks for any help.

    Oh yes, thankyou for clarifying my mind on that.
    I also bought a syncing firewire cable from the same place while I was at it so she should just need one cable then to do both charging & syncing as long as the firewire works abroad.
    I'll inspect it when it comes & if in doubt we could leave the firewire power adaptor here for when she's in US & get a USB power adapter in UK for there & Europe.
    Or I could sell the firewire power adapter to keep things simple.
    Thanks a lot Chris.
    In case anyone has any experience using the firewire power adapter abroad I'd be interested.
    Thanks.

  • Power adapter and iPod nano cable won't fit

    Both just won't fit togheter.
    I'm trying to put the USB 2.0 cable that came with my iPod into the power adapter but the forms are different and won't fit.
    Can anyone help me?
    Am I missing some other kind of cables?

    yes you need this one

  • Apple Composite AV cable and iPOD Classic

    I purchased the composite cable so I could watch movies on my TV. Hooked it up according to directions and only sound, kept getting the message "TV Out Enabled" (Please connect Video Accessory) with the picture. It is connected just as it should be.
    Tried switching the video and sound cables to no avail. This cable was expensive! $50 down the drain? I also tried re-setting my iPOD and I even cleared it out and re-synced it. I would appreciate any good advice.

    I forgot to say. You can only use Apples cable. No third party cables will let you view images through them.
    That's not true. There are cables on eBay with a decryptor built-in. I bought one for US $8.99 from this seller. He has many more of them for sale on eBay right now. MUCH cheaper than Apple's offering and it works flawlessly with my 80GB Classic. My only complaint with it is that the RCA connectors are a very tight fit on my receiver. Other than that, no problem with the audio and composite video.

  • Amazon power adapter and iPod Touch 4

    I am waiting for an iPod Touch 4th gen to arrive and now I wonder: The iPods usually don't have the actual Apple Power Adaptor included and instead of that, there is only a USB cable. However, I happen to own the Amazon Kindle which has the adaptor for US sockets. Is it possible to charge the iPod Touch 4 (without damaging it, of course) with the Amazon adaptor whilst its specifications are: Input 100-240V ~ 0.15A 50/60Hz; Output: 5.0V ... 0.85A
    I should also mention that I am living in EU, so I will be using it with a reduction for EU sockets but that shouldn't anyhow interfere with the functionality, I suppose.
    Thank you

    It should work but the current (0.85 A is a little lower than the Griffen (1A) charger I use so it may charge a little slower. However, most USB ports on computer only put out about 1/2 A so 0.85 should be fine.

  • 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.

  • IPod mini can't see firewire power adapter after 1.4.1 update

    I updated my mini to the (infamous) 1.4.1 update, and now my firewire connection doesn't appear to work. When plugged into the computer with the firewire cable, mini doesn't appear on desktop or in iTunes, though it will start recharging the battery. When firewire power adapter is plugged into dock or into mini to try to recharge, it doesn't work. I purchased a new firewire cable & adapter but it's behaving the same way. USB cable to computer works fine (mini shows up on desktop and in iTunes). I've tried the Reset, Retry Restart, Reinstall, Restore. protocol several times with no success. I've tried Resetting the mini while plugged into the firewire power adapter. No luck.
    Any suggestions?
    Is there a way to uninstall this update?

  • Can I charge my new ipod using firewire power adapter?

    Just got my new 30GB ipod and realised that it doesn't come with power adapter to plug in directly in power outlet.
    Can I use the firewire power adapter which I have leftover after my 3rd gen ipod died on me?
    Also can I use the firewire to connect it to my powerbook for charging and song transfer? I thought firewire is faster than usb2 then why new ipods don't come with firewire cable anymore?
    Many thanks.
    PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    think if you do your research and read up you will see the USB2 is indeed faster than Firewire. I actually did a few test on a dual G5 using both the Firewire and USB2 and in all my test, USB2 was faster.
    If USB2 was faster for you, that's wonderful. I'm not about to start arguing with you over it.
    What I can tell you is that you're certainly in the minority if this was the case for you.
    USB2 has a theoretical maximum speed of 480Mbps. While this is certainly a higher number than Firewire 400's 400Mbps, Firewire will still vastly outperform USB2 in almost every case. It is near impossible to get anywhere close to 480Mbps with USB2. Even under ideal conditions, USB2 still has to contend with other processes on the machine, and other devices in the bus.
    This is the nature of USB's design.
    It is not uncommon for Firewire to reach near maximum speeds consistently. This has been proven time and time again.
    Like I mentioned already, if USB2 is faster for you... go ahead and use it. I'm not going to tell you otherwise.
    I'm quite sure I've done sufficient research on this, as well as many other people in this industry, and these forums. Perhaps it is you that might want to do a little more reading.

  • IPod displays a picture of a power adapter and wall plug & won't go away!

    Okay, I am trying to update a mini ipod for my neice. I originally have the 20GB ipod. Hers however is the 1.1 mini ipod... and I think it was formated for windows on a pc, but I didn't know this until after I reset it on my mac.
    I reset it to the factory setting, but it said I needed to plug it into the wall jack to complete the software settings... which is cool and fine. So i did by USB, but now all I get is this iPod displays a picture of a power adapter and wall plug. The icon will not go away and neither will anything change. I can't turn it off and if I try to bring up anything, all I get is the apple and then this icon, over and over again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Ipod Mini   Mac OS X (10.3.9)   I think this mini was formated for a PC, does that matter?

    Actually I did do what is it said, and it continued to blink the power adapter and wall plug picture, while I had it plugged into the wall socket. So that is why I posted this question.
    So someone else actually replied to my question and said that I have to plug it into my car ac adapter and it would finish rebooting... which it did.
    Thanks for the tips. I'm not computer iliterate, I'm just learning about the ipod.

  • 4th Gen. ipod. No longer charges from wall socket. Still can charge from computer. Wall power adapter and cord both work fine on other devices. Wall Why?

    4th Generation ipod. Used to charge fine from wall socket (cord and USB adapter) and could also charge on the computer. Suddenly stopped charging from the wall. The same cord and adapter still work for my iphone, so there is not problem with either of them. What has changed? Why won't the ipod charge from the wall anymore? Is there anything I can do about it?

    Thanks! It didn't actually work with the one I was using to charge the computer either. We had tried the computer cable with the power adapter, and it didn't  work to charge the ipod, though it does charge my iphone. Following your idea further,  I waited for my husband to get home from a trip and tried one of his extra cables he keeps in his backpack. That cable worked in with the USB  power adaptor. I had thought that because the cable I use on my computer charges my iphone through the USB power adapter or the computer, and that it charged the ipod through the computer that it was fully functional. Apparantly not.  Thanks again.

  • 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

  • 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.
