Can I charge my ipod on an Itune-less computer?

Hi, I'm currently visiting people in another country, and because I didn't plan well, I bought the wrong kind of adapter to charge my computer while I am here. I can live without the computer, but I'd really like to be able to use my ipod.
I can't download Itunes on someone elses computer, but does anyone know if I can just plug in my ipod and charge it without doing so?
Thanks

thank you..
but, I connected my ipod to the computer and got the "do not disconnect" screen, and the computer said it found a new hardware device, and it would need to restart before the changes would take affect, or whatever it normally says. I didn't restart it because of the "do not disconnect" screen...but I can't imagine why that screen is still up because it doesn't have anything to update. Is this what it should be doing?

Can i download to ipod using an Itunes sharing computer?

Hellooooo ~
My original Itunes install is on a Mac 10.3.9. My Itunes sharing computer is a Windows XP. The sharing over the local network seems to be working fine. I have not yet purchased an IPOD. QUESTION: Will I be able to get my (Mac sourced) songs and podcasts onto the IPOD from the sharing Windows computer?
Another question: is there any way to duplicate my actual song files to the Windows XP computer so that I don't have to turn on the Mac in order for itunes to function on the XP machine? All my song files are on the Mac.
thanks for any helpppppp.
very truly yours

No, iTunes library sharing only allows you to listen to music in the shared library.

Yes, use the network to copy the files from the Mac to the PC.

Can I charge my iPod shuffle on non-iTunes computer?

Can I charge my iPod shuffle on a non-iTunes computer, just by plugging into the USB port?

You can also charge the ipod on any powered usb hub when no computer is on. I leave it on overnight and get it in the a.m. when I leave for work.

Can i charge my ipod on any computer?

I need to charge my ipod, i dont have the charger with me and i am away from my computer. I do have the UBS cable, can i charge the ipod on any computer with a UBS port or does it need to be the one its registered on?

As long as the computer has the port that your iPod supports (USB and/or FireWire), and as long as the computer doesn't have iTunes (or if it has iTunes, when it detects your iPod, don't choose to automatically update it - otherwise, all the songs on your iPod will be replaced by whatever's in that computer's iTunes), you should be good.

My daughter charged her ipod touch on my sisters computer. She managed to login to her iTunes account - now it seems my sisters computer is authorised to access playlists and Apps. How do I stop this?

My daughter charged her ipod touch on my sisters computer. My daughter also accessed iTunes - my fault she knew the password for the account. Now the account information says that 2 computers are authorised to access this account. How can I deauthorise or remove my sisters computer that is now linked?
Any ideas? When i access Store the only option is to deauthorise the computer I am on now. There is no option to remove the 2nd computer that is my sisters.

Very simple....go to itunes store, on the top right click on your account. It will ask for your password, then show you a screen where it will have your address on top. Look 1/2 the way down on the right...it says deauthorize all...click that and then just go back in to your computer and reauthorize your own computer...

I can't open my iPod library in iTunes, the app doesn't show the device at all, no error message, nothing, but windows 8 opens it like it would a flash drive. It has worked for me before just fine and both have the most updated software versions.

yeah i plugged in my iphone to my computer and itunes does not even notice that i plugged it in.

Can I use 2 ipods on one itunes account? I have also used 2 computers.

I'll try to make this clear.
I had one computer and one ipod set up on itunes. The computer ran on Windows XP.
I gave the computer to my niece and left the itunes account alone.
I bought a new computer that runs Windows Vista. I installed a new itunes account.
I bought a smaller ipod to record audio books. I wanted to keep the larger ipod for music.
Now I have the smaller ipod on the new computer. If I decide to download music, I can't use the larger ipod that I want to use for music. How can I own two ipods and use itunes? I am not file sharing. I just wanted two devices for two purposes because I like to keep the audio books separate. Now if I go back to the original ipod (the larger video one)it is not recognized on my new computer. A lot of the music on the original Windows XP computer was from CDs that I owned, not just music I purchased. I probably should have just stuck with one ipod, but I didn't. I am so confused.
Can I put the music on my old ipod, from the old computer, on the new itunes? I would then just use the new ipod. It probably has much more storage than I realized. Then what happens when it syncs? Would I lose everything? Is there a machine that can transfer music from one ipod to another, then I could just sync it all on the new ipod and new computer?

Hi mverza
Yes you can use as many ipods as you like on differnet itunes libarys. As long as you manually manage your ipods and don't sync. You can put your purchased music on as many ipods as you like (as long as you manually manage your music and you connect to the computer you bought it from). You can transfer purchased music to your ipod for a maximum of 5 computers (so you can play music purchased music on only 5 computers) although apple have changed the rules so there is no file protection)
But see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420 for more infomation.

There is no Info tab in Mavericks
if you use OS X v.10.8.5 or earlier. If you use OS X Mavericks v.10.9 or later, your contacts, calendars, and other info are updated on your computers and iOS devices via iCloud. For more information, see iCloud Help at icloud.com.

ITunes was on a drive destroyed by virus; how can i sync my iPod with new iTunes on new computer without losing my old library? There is no backup iTunes/iPod files available.

If you connect your ipod to your computer then look in the hidden folder labeled "iPod_Control" . (This is on a Mac version, but i think it's the same for Windows) and in "Music" is all your music mixed up in different folders. Just drag the MUSIC folder onto itunes then BAM! It's done ;D

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?

How can I sync my iPod classic with iTunes if I only have an iPad?
I recently downloaded music on my iPad via iTunes, but I can't get it to my iPod. Any help?

You cannot. There is no iTunes application on an iPad and iPods cannot sync with an iPad.

I can't connect my iPod classic to iTunes, it just doesn't react when I put the USB into the PC

hey, I have an iPod classic and it can't connect to iTunes.
I put the USB into my computer trying to add music, but it doesn't seems to react.
It DOESN'T say that it can't recognize the Ipod..
- Itunes just simpely doesn't react when I put the USB-cabel into my computer.
- when i go to the task manager the "apple device mobile" and "ipod service" is acitve in the processes
- I've tried to restart my computer (windows XP)
- update iTunes
- reinstall iTunes
- restart my apple devices mobile manager
what I think is the problem (which I can't solve) is that iTunes doen't even react to the USB
plz hlp me!
- ps it really should be able to add music to my iPod without getting help from a expert.

Hello qz0rz213,
It would seem that iTunes has encountered or developed an issue in the process of trying to sync photos to your device. The best place to start would be removing the iPod Photo Cache (thus allowing for a new version to be created).
Note: Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library.
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314
If the issue is not resolved by removing the iPod Photo Cache, the following article goes into further steps that can both help you determine the source of this trouble and eliminate it.
Symptoms
In certain situations, iTunes may display an alert or may be unable to sync photos to an iPod or iOS device. Examples include:
After updating iOS, iTunes displays an alert that there is not enough room to sync photos
This error appears: "The iPhone/iPod touch '[device name]' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
This article outlines steps to resolve these issues.

I can't charge my ipod without having to bend the chord what should I do

I have tried 2 chords already and I just got a new one thinking that the problem was the chord, I'm not really sure how this happened, but it did and now I can't charge my iPod.

Hey Godsgrl1, A short and/or debris in the iPod's charging port are the first things that come to mind. Have you tried a different charging device? The thing that supplies the power, not the cable. If issue continues, check the charging port on the iPod for debris, pocket lint can interrupt a solid electrical connection. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the port, with the power off. You should see the silver bumps on the short ends, (one on each end), the gold contact pins on one of the long sides and the bottom of the port should appear dark gray or metallic and smooth. If it appears to be a mat finish, could be looking at packed lint. Try blowing it out, If that fails, use a non-conductive probe, I like a round wooden toothpick and carefully remove the debris, usually lint, from the port. Be very careful to NOT TOUCH the gold pins, damage, bent or break then and your screwed! Also, make sure the locking clips, (the silver bumps) are free of debris and push back when touched. If your cable is OK, and is an Apple product or approved for iPod use, Should get you back to charging. If there is no debris, the power supply is good and cables are free of shorts, and still will not charge, try resetting first. If still no joy, then attempt to restore, from backup. If still zip, make sure you have a current backup and restore to new. If a full factory restore does not work, you most likely have a hardware issue. Also, check that there is little to no movement of the port on the iPod, if you can see movement, or damage (missing pieces, cracks, etc.), the port maybe damaged. Schedule an appointment with Apple to have your iPod evaluated, be sure to bring the cables and charging device if possible. Hope this helps. Good luck, Cheers.
