Can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch

can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch? Device was plugged in to an ipad charger then failed during an update to IOS 601. went to a solid color screen and will only boot to the apple logo on a reset than returns to the solid color screen.

Try the following to get the iPod working.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can an iPhone 4th Gen charger be used to charge iPod  Nano 7th Gen?

    Can an iPhone 4 Gen charger be used to charge an iPodNano 7th Gen?

    Yes it should work, I believe if the voltage or amperage is too low the iPod will not recognize it. But any USB based charger should charge any device that can charge by USB as long as it meets the 5 volt USB standard.
    The only exception is the iPad which requires higher amperage to charge, although I believe they will still slow charge when off from the lower powered chargers. Even if using a higher amperage charger an iPod will only drawn the power it needs.
    I now look for USB charging when shopping for my gadgets, it cuts down on the power adapters I need when traveling.
    Be aware that cheaper USB chargers, usually found on EBay, may not meet the USB standards and may not charge and could damage the iPod. Stick to good name brand models.

  • Can I use an ipod shuffle 4th gen charger with an ipod shuffle 2nd generation?

    Basically, last week I lost my ipod shuffle (4th gen). ****. so consequently I have bought a second hand 2nd gen shuffle, thinking that the USB - minijack cable would work fine - and it fits perfectly. But my 'new' ipod is not showing up in itunes, and neither is it illuminating...
    I spoke to Apple Support, and they suggested plugging it in for an extended period of time, as the battery may be 100% flat, but after an hour still nothing.
    Any ideas, folks?
    Ta!

    The USB cable for the 4th gen iPod has a different connector at the iPod end.  This is the replacement part for the one used by the 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A
    and it states at the bottom that it is only compatible with the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.
    This is the replacement part for a second gen shuffle (with a "mini-dock").
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A
    It's somewhat expensive compared to $49 for a brand new shuffle.  There are cheaper third-party replacements (most have just the connector with no dock) available on Amazon and eBay, and elsewhere.  Just make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle.

  • My ipod touch 1st gen says its connected to wifi, but when i go on safari it stops at "connecting" with a grey screen, what should i do, my router is fine, cause my brothers iphone 4th gen works, but my ipod touch 1st gen dosen't?

    Try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds. This may correct the problem.

  • Why does it take. So much longer for YouTube videos to load on my iPad 1st gen. then on my iPod touch?

    Why does it take so much longer for YouTube videos to load on my 1st gen. iPad then on my iPod touch or my laptop?

    This is not the place to make a point. This is a user to user support forum. I do not need instructions about the use and care or alleged failure of cables. At no time did I ever say or imply that you were an idiot, that is your statement and words, not mine. Take the time to Google and you will find instances where there have been injuries and death dealing with 3rd party cables and chargers. The abilities that Apple has for manufacturing and what business decisions they make in creating their products is nothing more than speculation, and that is not allowed under the terms of the forum that you agreed on when you joined here. If you want to rant at Apple, then use the feedback link, www.apple.com/feedback. Other users cannot do anything for you.

  • Is there an adapter to connect iPad 4th gen to my older iPod nano 5th gen.

    I know there is a lightning to 30 pin adapter but the 30 pin part is a female and I need a 30 pin that is a male so I can plug it "into" my iPod. I have the 30 pin (male) to USB but I can't find a regular USB receptor to lightning either. Please help, I don't want to be forced to buy a new iPod in addition to the new iPad only because of this new lightning connector.

    You can buy and download musci, and movies through the iPad. Once you sync to the PC you can sync that same music over to the Nano. But yes you need the Pc as an intermediary. iPads are not PC's they are tablets. They cannot do many things a PC can like trasnfer content to another device such as an iPod Nano.

  • I have a ipad 4th gen with the lightning charging port. I have realised how long it takes to charge and the poor battery life which means I can't take my ipad anywhere. Is there a case that is available that will charge my ipad? I know they are out there

    I have a ipad 4th gen with the lightning charging port. I have realised how long it takes to charge and the poor battery life which means I can't take my ipad anywhere. Is there a case that is available that will charge my ipad? I know they are out there for older iPads with the 30pin charger but I can't find one for the lighning 8pin charger.

    I don't know what you mean by "poor battery life". If your iPad is working properly you should get 9-10 hours of life.

  • IPad Air and 4th gen charging question

    Does the ipad 4th gen and iPad Air use the same charger. And can I use an iPhone 4s charger with a 30pin to lightning adapter to charge them?

    The iPad chargers fudge the USB standard a tad by pumping 1 Amp of current across the cable to ensure a faster charging time. Nornally USB should only carry 0.5 Amp, which is what the iPhone charger pumps out and is why it shouldn't be used with the iPads.
    Using the bigger iPad charger for all is fine: the iPad will charge as it should, the iPhone will sip less current and charge as usual. I don't even remember where I put the phone's brick; have two iPad bricks I use for everything.

  • My iPad 4th gen takes 10+ hours to charge!?

    My new iPad 4th gen wi-fi takes an extremely long time to charge, upwards of 8-12 hours. I have had no other issues with it so far but I came from an iPad 2 which took maybe 2-3 hours to charge. I am just curious if this is normal or should I consider exchanging it before its too late. Thanks

    I've been using my 4th Gen iPad since early January and have to charge it overnight as it takes so long... not just the initial charge... every charge. It's pointless trying to do it during the day as it invariably means I can't use it, without being next to the wall.
    I had assumed that the battery in this model is bigger and takes longer. My wife's 2nd Gen iPad charges in only a couple of hours.
    I must say i'm impressed with the life of each charge though. My normal use means it generally needs to be charged every 2-3 days.

  • Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

    Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

    FOr this and anything, read the fine print on the charger. It should say that it takes an input of 100 - 240v. That means all it needs is an adapter. If it doesn't have that number range then don't plug it in. (like stedman says, official apple chargers are rated for world wide power)

  • IPad 4th gen won't charge?

    I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
    Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
    I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
    So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
    I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
    I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
    both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
    but my iPad will not budge past 1%
    I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
    Does anyone have any ideas why?
    And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
    Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

    Hi Moll.x,
    If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
    Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
    If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
    Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
    Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
    Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
    If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
    Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
    Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
    Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
    Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
    If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
    If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,
    Brett L

  • Why do I have to connect my ipad(4th gen) to my laptop to download apps? I downloaded some yesterday, but now they just say waiting. If I connect to ITunes, I can get them through that. I am not using cellular data, just through wifi.

    Any ideas greatly appreciated, it will save me a journey to the apple store

    I have now solved it. I signed out of my iTunes account and then held down both the power buttons until the apple appeared. When I signed back in it started downloading.
