Can I charge with USB adapter before use?

Just got an iPod nano! Woop woop! Question is...before I even think about turning it on or plugging it into my computer, is it OK to charge it with the iPod USB Power Adapter before connecting it to a computer for the first time? Or should I charge it on the computer? What do you recommend?

No problem at all to charge nano before connecting it up to a computer.
Enjoy!

  • I can't sync with FireWire port and I can't charge with USB port!!

    Hi. I've a old model of iPod (M9244Y). After the last update, my iPod does sync with the FireWire port.
    I tried with another PCs and Mac but it does work. Finaly I buyed an USB cable and this one syncs but not charge.
    I've restored to early versions of iPod Updaters but it does not work again. Can I do somethig to fix it?
    Why I can't sync with the FireWire port?
    Please help me, I can't live without iPod, I can't live without music!!!

    Do you have other Firewire devices? Do they work? Could be the FW ports are not working right.
    First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, power cycling the computer won't work.
    So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chip alive. Now let it sit for ten minutes (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug it back in, start up the Mac and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.

  • My 3 month old iPad is suddenly not charging with the adapter

    Hi, this feels like a dumb question but when i plug my iPad into the 10W adapter directly into a wall outlet, the message 'not charging' appears next to the battery percentage. What am I doing wrong? It's charged with the adapter before but now all i get is that message. thanks for any help you can provide! Jeannie

    Thanks everyone! I decided to leave it plugged in and it seems to be charging but it still says 'not charging' in the top right corner next to the battery percentage. It seems to be charging slower than usual though. It was at 44% around 10am and at 2 pm it's at 66%. I don't see the lightning bolt through the battery icon like I normally would. what would cause that? I really appreciate all of your help! Jeannie

  • Get "using too much power" message when charging with USB

    I have a 4th gens iPod Touch that appears to have a number of issues:
    1. get "using too much power" message when charging with USB
    2. can't re-boot
    3. unable to access iCloud Backup, Ignore and Settings button inactive
    4. unable to unlock unit when using the Home button to turn the unit on

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try another cable                                                       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Images from scan on flash drive. Can female- female USB adapter be used to input to ipad?

    Can female- female USB adapter be used to input images from scans to ipad?

    You have to use the camera connection kit adapter, which precludes the input of power at the same time. Most newer USB flash drives don't use too much power. You can also put your pics into a DCIM folder on a camera SD card and use the camera connection kit. Haven't seen any posts about an SD cards using too much power.

  • Only ipod mini can be charged with supplied usb cable? ..Really?

    I just read in fine print in an obscure part of support site that only the ipod mini can be charged with the "supplied" cable? Is this true? No, come on really? But, I...I,I,I just paid 500 clams for the top of the line shiznit and it doesn't come with any kind of charger? Is apple gonna send me back to the store? No way,I thought apple was down for the little guy...I gotta go buy an A/C charger? 30 more duckets?

    welcome to the forums!
    your ipod doesnt need a power ac cable. Every time you connect ur ipod to your pc, it should start charging the batterie auto matically. Just leave your pc on all night long with the ipod connected, and in the morning your good to go!

  • Charging with USB?

    Before you blast me with 'No!'s, let me explain further.
    Long story short, my Powerbook won't charge with AC adapter, so I bought an external battery charger and although it works, it is very annoying.
    I bought the DLO power bug (http://www.dlo.com/products/PowerBugshuffleProd.tpl) to charge my iPod, and recently wondered if I had the Power Bug plugged into an outlet, then had a USB plugged into that and my laptop, would it charge?
    I did research this already but found no such case as mine, so I decided I would try it here. Be nice

    Hi, amandiaaa. No — but that's a nice no.
    Your Powerbook's USB ports simply aren't designed to receive significant power from outside, and there's no circuitry linked to them that has the ability to direct such power to the battery or control battery charging. I don't know for certain, but I suspect that connecting the Power Bug as you propose might damage your Powerbook.

  • Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Can two people with their own iPhones use the same computer and iTunes?

    Yes. My wife and I each have our own Apple ID and used the same computer to sync our phones with iTunes. The best way to do this is set up separate user accounts on the computer. If you are logged in to your account on the computer and your wife wants to sync here phone, you would log out and she would log in. These keeps all your stuff separate and avoids a ton of confusion.

    My ipod ejects itself, immediately after connecting with usb cable, before synchronizing could start. What’s wrong?

    Have you tried plugging the iPod in with a different USB sync cable to verify the issue is not with the cable?  It might not also hurt to connect it to another USB port as well.
    Otherwise, try manually placing the iPod into Disk Mode and then connecting it to your PC.
