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.

  • Can you charge an ipod on a computer that isn't formatted for i tunes?

    All data is on my daughter's computer. If i were to plug her ipod into my computer to try to charge it, is that doable or not doable?

    Yes, that is possible.
    When it is done charging, just make sure you eject it properly. Hit the Safely Remove Hardware icon by the clock in windows and go to stop iPod device. Then the main menu will appear and you can remove the iPod without damaging it. (This makes Do Not Disconnect go away)

  • 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.

  • My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

    i updated my iphone  to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!

    I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

  • Can i charge my iPod shuffle whilst listening to Music? (plugged into wall and using twin audio jack?

    I want to connect my iPod shuffle to a telephone line so when people are put on hold they can listen to music, however the battery will die after some time.
    Can i charge the iPod whilst listening to music simultaneously?  (Plugged into wall not computer)

    Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
    The iPod will support playback and charging only if you have a wire that supports it. Since both audio out and electricity flow through the 1 headphone port you would need a cord of some sorts that will allow the iPod to charge and include audio out. As far as using it on a telephone. If the telephone you are using supports and audio input using the headphone jack then you could use the iPod shuffle as telephone music. If not than the iPod Shuffle may not be the best tool for you.

  • 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.

    Yes, you can. Same goes for the iPhone chargers. They're all interchangeable, since they've got the same connectors.

  • I recently restored my computer and now I can not sync my ipod to my computer - the error says "my ipod is synced with anothers itunes libary"

    I can not sync my ipod to my computer - the error message says " my ipod is synced with another itnes libary"

    Re-installing the OS on your PC has caused your iPod to think it is now syncing with a new/different iTunes library. An iPod can only be synced with one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync the iPod with a different/new iTunes library it will erase the contents the iPod and replace them with what is in the new library.
