Can I charge a new iPod Nano 8 GB with a iPod Mini charger?

I gave my wife an iPod Nano (black, 8 GB) for christmas. After christmas we discovered, that there is no charger, it only charges when you connect it to a computer.
Unfortunately that is not how she uses her iPod. She doesn't use a computer. I pour her favorite music into the iPod, and that's it. 8 GB is more than adequate - she doesn't update the iPod frequently. Her last iPod (a Mini) had the same music for more than a year and a half - untill she lost it.
So ... I guess I could buy a charger for her. Og bring my Powerbbok home every night just to charge her iPod.
But we have the charger from her lost iPod Mini. Does any of you know, if we can use that? The charger has a firewire plug and the cable is firewire in one end and the other end fits perfectly in the Nano. However, I am afraid to fry the Nano.
The charger says 12V .67A
The print on the iPod Nano reads 5-30V 1A Max.
Kind regards,
Peter

Yes, you can use the charger (and cable) that came with the mini to charge the nano.
Cheers!

    No......syncing requires a computer.  Backups can be done via iCloud.  What exactly are you trying to do?

  • IPod nano Problem with Nike+iPod

    Yesterday, I just got a new 3G Black iPod nano 8 GB. Sooner today, while looking its features, I found out about Nike+iPod application. Since this is my first iPod, I had no idea what it was. It was asking for the receiver to be connected. I thought that the receiver was actually the USB Charger, so I inserted it. Now it's stuck on the screen asking for the receiver to be attached. I pressed any button I could and tried everything as well. Nothing happened.
    What should I do? I suppose that when it is discharched, it will be able to work again, but since it's not playing music, I suppose that the battery will last for pretty much time...
    HELP!
    Edit: Excuse me, wrong category...

    You will need to reset your Nano by holding down the center and menu buttons until the Apple appears on the screen.
    The Nike+ Sport kit is a device that attaches to the dock connector of your iPod and has a transmitter that goes in your shoe. Without that, the menu function on the Nano doesn't do much.

  • Ipod nano compatibility with ipod accessories

  • Does ipod nano work with ipod photo dock, s-video out?

    Does the ipod nano work with the ipod photo dock, with an s-video out? Will apple make one for the nano specifically?

    The iPod nano cannot show photos on an external device, I suspect Apple have not built this feature into the hardware. The options for showing to a TV are not in the photo menus either.

  • One of the episodes that i had on my IPOD NANO 8GB was removed off when i put a new episode of that tv show that i bought and put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB. How do i get the first episode that i bought back on my Ipod Nano 8GB with the new episode on it?

    I had an episode of a tv show series on my IPOD NANO 8GB. I just bought a new episode of the tv show and I went to put it on my IPOD NANO 8GB and it removed the first episode off my IPOD NANO 8GB. Now, all I have is the new episode of the tv show on my ipod and I can't get the other back on there. How do I get the other episode that I had on there first back on to my IPOD NANO 8GB with the new episode on my ipod?  Please Help Soon.

    Hello Lisa,
    Double check your iPod's sync settings from under it's TV Shows tab in iTunes.  Make sure it is not set up to sync only unwatched episodes.

  • Can you use a iPod nano 4G With iTunes 10

    I was wondering can you use a iPod nano 4G with the new  iTunes 10

    Yes.  All previous generations of your iPods should still work with the latest version of iTunes.

  • Ipod nano 7th generation is not getting charged!

    I bought ipod nano 7th generation seven months ago. It stopped getting charged suddenly. I have checked USB cable with iphone and it is working well. Can anyone please tell me what's wrong with my ipod and how can I fix it. I have tried to charge it many times but nothing occures. It's not even being displayed in my laptop or itunes.
    Any suggestion would be really appreciated!

    Let the Nano sit and charge for at least 30 minutes.  After that, try resetting it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod?

    Hey Guys
    I need a bit of help.
    My old computer died, it was running Windows XP. I've got myself a new computer running Windows 7.
    I have a copy of my iTunes folders from my old computer (taken 2 days before it died)
    How can I use a new computer without deleting everything on iPod touch?
    I've imported all the folders (music, apps etc) into the new computer's iTunes, but when I sync my iPod
    I receive a window asking if i want to sync i need to erase and replace with the iTunes library on the computer.
    I particularly don't want to do this.
    My wife also uses my iTunes for her iPhone.
    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

    Make a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting Backup. Then restore the iPod from that backup and sync as necessary.

  • Is new software around for Ipod Nano 5G with the Nike sensor and Polar wearlink HeartRateMonitor to get spoken feedback on heartrate-zone, so you get a warning if your heartrate is higher or lower than the predefined range.

    I have:
    Ipod Nano 5G with Nike+ sensor and Polar wearlink Heartrate monitor:
    works fine, linking is easy, but....
    Software is rather minimal: Heartrate is on the screen and you get feedback when the center-button is touched.
    To get better results, more functions would be useful, like defining a heartrate zone (like Polar`s own-zone) and automatic spoken feedback if the heartrate is out of the pre-defined range. Also automatic spoken feedback on actual and average heartrate every pre-defined time-interval would be very useful: like the spoken feedback on distance and actual pace I get on my Iphone with Nike+GPS
    Anyone have any suggestions ?

    I have the same issue! I purchased a nano 6th, polar hrm so I could run and receive spoken feedback when my heart rate was outside my preset zone.  My suunto t3 used to beep when outside the preset zones.  Automatic, periodic beeps or spoken feedback is the most important information to receive during exercise. I hope apple can update the software to add this simple yet critical feature.

    - Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours. Apple does not transfer any data.
    Apple - iPod Repair price      
    - To backup all your data to computer follow the instructions here. However, do not restore from backup until you have the replacement/repaired iPod.
