Apple iPod shuffle External Battery Pack

Has anyone used this? It sounds like a cool idea especially for travelling where I can't recharge. does it use just regualr AA batteries? (on Amazon, it says AA in one place and AAA in another.)
And I read some reviews that said it ruined their Shuffle just by plugging it in. Any experience with that?
thanks for any advice.

Does anyone know if the external battery pack (Apple)
will work with the second generation IPOD shuffle??
Thanks

It will NOT work with the 2nd Gen Shuffle...think about HOW the Shuffle is connected to a powersource: through the headphone jack on its dock, thus rendering the headphone jack useless for connecting headphones to it. Some vendor MAY provide a new accessory which provides an audio out as well as a power source in teh future...

External battery pack for Classic + Belkin TuneTalk Stereo?

Can anyone recommend an external battery pack that would connect to the Belkin F8Z082-BLK TuneTalk Stereo recorder attached to an iPod Classic?
I need to double or triple the recording time in the field, which is only about 2 hours at the moment.
The external battery pack will have to provide power over the mini usb port in the bottom of the TuneTalk device.

OK, so looking into this a little bit more, the charger that comes with the iPhone is marked "iPos USB Power Adapter". It has an output of 4V @ 1A.
The old iPod Firewire charger I have and the car charger I have are rated at 12V @ 1A, so I'm going to stop using them post haste.
Yikes!!

What's the best external battery pack to bring when traveling abroad?

We're planning on going to Europe for our honeymoon and figured we'll probably need our phones to get around, translate things, etc and would hate to be in the middle of nowhere with a dead phone. Which external battery packs would you recommend? I'm open to getting more than one....one that's small and light and bring with me, and another to keep at the hotel.
Thank you!

My favorite (and I have 3) is MyCharge: http://www.amazon.com/myCharge-Peak-6000-Rechargeable-Power/dp/B008PQAFTM/ref=sr _1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1410566545&sr=1-1&keywords=mycharge.
The reason is that it is the only one that has a built in charger to recharge the MyCharge itself. Simply flip out the prongs and plug it in to any US outlet or any foreign outlet with a plug adapter. No separate power supply to carry around (and potentially lose). It also has built in plugs to charger other USB devices. You will need a Dock to Lightning adapter from Apple for the iPhone 5 and later, but it works fine with that also.

External Battery pack

I know there have been external battery packs utilizing AA and AAA batteries, has anyone used one with their Touch? What were your experiences?

Hello,
I bought one of these out of a bargain bin in a local high street shop for £6:
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Backup-Battery-Pack-iPod/dp/B00009KAPW
Works fine with my 1st Gen but be prepared for how massive four AA batteries are compared to the slinky iPod touch. I bought four rechargeable AA batteries at the same time to miminize the environmental impact.

Can I use an external battery pack on my 17" Mac Book Pro?

Hi
This may sound like a crazy question, but is it possible to safely use an external battery pack on my Mac Book Pro?.....specifically a Bescor Video Light battery pack which I can just plug my a/c power cable into. This would be very useful in the case of a local power failure (which actually may just happen tonight, as we are currently in the middle of a blizzard).
Just wondering......
Thanks,
Anneita

Yes, you can use external battery packs — but I wouldn't use one that I wasn't perfectly certain was very carefully controlled.
External battery packs specifically designed for MBPs:

Another option, designed to protect sensitive equipment from power surges and enable uninterrupted computer usage during AC power outages and irregularities, is called an +uninterruptible power supply,+ and the leading manufacturer of such devices — which incorporate storage batteries of various capacities — is APC:

What kind of external battery pack do I need for a Macbook Pro?

I am searching for a good external battery pack to use with a Macbook Pro.

If a "good" one existed, I would let you know
No such creature however exists (good).

What is a good external battery pack for a 13" retina display?

what is a good external battery pack for my 13" retina display(macbook)

Have a look here for the sizes and prices.
It is however, much better to get a USB external drive that comes with it's own power adapter to avoid issues when or if your USB port can't supply enough power to your external drive.
That issue however does happen rarely but it does happen. Especially when connecting other devices to your other USB port while your external hard drive is connected to your other usb port.

My apple ipod shuffle's ear headset has lost..And My ipod is in warranty period..So Can I get a new one for free or i should bye ?

My apple ipod shuffle's ear headset has lost..And My ipod is in warranty period..So Can I get a new one for free or i should bye ?

Frankly just about any headset with the proper size connection will likely work. We like ear buds with soft coverings so even when we get a hard headset with a player we swap them out. While Apple might just possibly give you a set for free since they are not an expensive item, loss is not covered by warranty. If you're a long drive from an Apple Store it might cost you more in fuel and vehicle wear and tear than going to a local store and buying a comfortable replacement.

External battery packs

Does anyone have a recommendation on a good external battery pack? I'm pretty sure my video usage will zap all the power on an upcoming overseas flight, so I'm looking at investing in the PowerStick by Audio Outfitters. Anyone have any experience with it? Or with others?
Thanks for any suggestions!!
Diane Wordsmith

I was still going to go for the PowerStick, but it wasn't available. I got the TuneJuice instead, as you suggested, Deggie, and it worked fine. I haven't really put it to the test yet, but it seemed to do the job ok. Thanks for the tip. I would give you a green star, but it doesn't seem to be available.

Apple iPod shuffle Reset - saves broken iPods :-)

Apple has just released Apple iPod shuffle Reset - 1.0 which says it can restore your faulty iPod Shuffles suffering from orange & Green Flashing lights.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodshuffleresetutility10formac.html
Hope this helps!
Bluefusion

IF it's blinking alternating green and two orange (for 10 seconds) it needs to be reset. In this case you can try restoring it in iTunes.
IF, on the other hand, it's blinking alternating green and orange (for 2 seconds)
it's telling you that there's NO playable content on it.
WHICH is it?

Powerbook external battery pack?

I recently bought a powerbook(15" ) to use for graduate school. My classes are going to last anywhere from 2 hours to up to 4 and a half hours. Obviously battery life is important. I am hoping to be able to sit next to an outlet but in case I cannot I am looking into other battery solutions. So my question is, is there any kind of external battery pack that can be plugged into the powerbook (usb, firewire..) while it is in use that could extend the operating time while I am in class? Also if i bought an extra battery, is the switching of the battery a time consuming/difficult task or is it easy to do on the fly?
Thanks for all your help!

I haven't seen those big battery plates for recent notebook Macs (haven't looked too hard either), but they might exist. I suspect they could be problematic if you plugged an external in and it tries to charge the internal battery.
Changing the normal battery is pretty easy - you do have to put the computer to sleep, then you need a coin to unlock/eject the battery on the bottom. You can probably do all this in about 20 seconds with practice. Newer Technology advertises aftermarket batteries that promise a little more capacity than the originals. Also, you can adjust several settings to conserve power on battery - put the energy saver for reduced processor performance; dim the screen, turn off Airport wifi, quit any applications you aren't using that might be using a little CPU power; have sufficient RAM to reduce virtual RAM pageouts.

Apple iPod Shuffle - more like iPod Shafted am I ri

Take a look at that piece of crap here : http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/
Creative came out with the same thing a year ago.
It's smaller
It has LCD display
It has FM (muvo TX)
It has Equalizer
Okay, so the battery power isn't much but so what?

Actually, I never heard of MP3 players until I expressed a desire to get an Ipod; I thought the two were completely separate and different. However, someone explained to me that an Ipod was just one brand of an MP3 player (just as a Walkman is one brand of personal stereo player), and from there I looked for the machine I liked best, regardless of brand.
So, I'm sure there are some people out there who are reasonable enough that, once they find out that the only thing unique about an Ipod is the brand name, they'll search for the brand they feel is the best, regardless of "hip" status.
