Can I use AC charger from ipod mini on new nano???

My son had an ipod mini. He had bought an AC charger for it. I am buying him an ipod nano for his birthday (ipod mini went bad...). Can he use the charger from the mini to the nano???

Maybe, depends on the charger. It would appear that while older iPods only needed the power pins, newer ones may require the data pins to also be active for charging. Some chargers do not connect the data pins at all.
But it won't damage the Nano. It will either work fine or do nothing at all.
Which charger is it?

  • How can I save my music from iPod to a new computer?

    Probably this problem got solved already in the past but I could not find help till now. I still use my iPod 30gb Classic from 2005 but the computer with which I made the syncs is broken and I got myself a new one. I wanted to save the music files from iPod to the new computer with iTunes so that I have another backup if this iPod should get broke in the future. But I could not backup the music files, somehow. Anyone has help? Thanks in advance.

    How it was originally designed by Apple is you store your music in iTunes on a Mac or a PC. you back up your computer. you add to your library through the computer. you then sync to ipod classic. it was never intended to move music back the other way unless you purchased the music from iTunes store.
    If your compuetr breaks you restore iTunes library from computer backup.
    in many cases music is reduced in size and quality to 128kbps on sync so backwards sync would lose library quality.
    finally, it avoids people illegally sharing music, or stealing music from lost or stolen ipods.
    to backwards sync you will need to either get into the risky business of third party software, or find a PC running Linux and Rhythmbox and ask again.  I probably said too much.

  • Can I use my windows format iPod mini on an apple powerbook?

    I've got a pc and an iPod mini whit windows format. If I buy a powerbook can i use my ipod(Windows) whit it?

    NO!!!
    Uh, you are wrong.
    The guy that said yes probably assumes you just want to use your ipod as a hard drive
    No, I assumed he wants to use it as a hard drive as well as to upload music, notes and contacts.
    You obviously do not have much experience using iPods with both Windows & Macs.
    You won't be able to upload songs to your ipod with a powerbook.
    Sure he can. It works fine with no problems at all.
    You'd have to format the ipod with the Mac
    Again, no he will not have to format it to use on a Mac.
    A Mac formatted iPod can only be read by a Mac. Windows cannot read a Mac formatted iPod.
    A Windows formatted iPod can be used on both Windows and Macs. Macs DO know how to read & write to a Windows formatted Ipod.
    Don't risk it unless you have one of these overpriced power adaptor that Apple wants a fortune for (it's not but a small transformer, gimme a break, Apple)
    You only need an AC power adapter when restoring the 1st generation Mini. The 2nd Gen mini does not require it.
    And it is $29 from the Apple store. To you, that is a small fortune?

  • Moving iTunes Library from iPod mini to new computer (old hard drive dead)

    Hi all, I own a 2nd gen (I believe) iPod mini with all of my music from my iTunes library on it. Last weekend, my computer began freezing/crashing while loading my desktop, and a diagnostic confirmed that the read/write head on my hard drive was bad. I don't currently have the spare cash to send it away to a recovery lab, so I am starting from scratch with a new computer I will be ordering today.
    My question is this--is it going to be possible to transfer the music from my iPod to my new computer? Many of the songs on my iPod are from other sources, during the years that I was not using iTunes, and from what I have read I will only be able to transfer my purchased music. I know there is a way to make my iPod into a hard drive in order to transfer the music to my new computer, but as I said, I cannot even boot up my old machine, and thus cannot access my iTunes library on my HD.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions and advice you may have.

    I've had to do this in the past (4 years ago). Try this page for a list of programs that can help you:

  • Replacing Ipod mini with New nano,

    Hi
    I have purchased my wife to be a new Ipod nano (8gb), she currently uses an Ipod mini (6GB). We use the same PC & to keep both her mini and my 30Gb Ipod video. So she has to manually manage the tunes on her mini.
    Now she has this new nano, she wants put the same songs on her shiney blue nano, but this as taken hers hours to shift through all 6000 tracks that we have collected in itunes.
    So the question is, is there a simple way to copy the same tracks on the old mini to the new nano?

    *is there a simple way to copy the same tracks on the old mini to the new nano?*
    You can't copy from one iPod to another and since the old one is being managed manually then you've no original single source to sync from so I'm afraid there is no simple answer.
    Something you might want to consider for managing smaller iPods with a large shared library is the option "Sync Music - selected Playlists". Syncing selected playlists is just like syncing your whole library only on a smaller scale and more "selectively". This is particularly useful when your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod. When your iPod is is set to sync selected playlists it automatically picks up any changes you made to that playlist in iTunes since you last connected. Anything you added to the playlist will be added to the iPod, anything you deleted from it will be deleted from the iPod. In other words the iTunes playlist and the iPod are kept "in sync". In future if you were to add another iPod it could sync to the same source playlist.
    Open iTunes and create a playlist to update the iPod from, call it -My iPod Nano for example (the dash will position it at the top of the playlists in Sources). You can make it a smart playlist that picks the songs for you or just a normal one and drag whatever content you want to have into the playlist. Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod: Syncing Music to iPod

  • Can I use my current dock, etc. with my new Nano?

    Question, I just received my 4GB Nano, I already own a 10GB 3rd Generation Ipod with a Dock (currently plugged into a belkin firewire card, but also has a USB 2.0 connector) I also have a Apple Ipod travel charger (apple model # A1004)which seems to plug right into the charging/transfer port perfectly. Can I use these accessories with my new Nano? Thanks in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

    OK,
    so your choices are
    1) see if you have a firewire to dock connector cable ("Apple iPod Dock Connector to FireWire Cable " $19 from Apple online store). If not, buy one from Apple or third party (Griffin Technology makes these cables, maybe a little less expensive). This will let you charge your nano with your existing firewire wall charger, BUT you won't be able to sync your nano with this cable (no big deal if all you do is use this cable to charge)
    2) purchase Apples USB wall charger "iPod USB Power Adapter ", $29. Advantage is you use the cable that came with your nano (less cable clutter).

  • Can i use a charger from a pre-2011 macbook pro on my 2012 macbook pro?

    left my charger out of state, it's being shipped but in the meantime i need to charge my laptop! a friend has a charger that i think is from a 2011-2010 macbook pro.  will this work? is it bad for my computer?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. Both MacBooks Pro have the same power settings and the same charger, so there won't be any problem, more if both of them are 13-inch MacBooks Pro or 15-inch MacBooks Pro.
    In the case of 13-inch MacBooks Pro and 15-inch MacBooks Pro, they come with chargers that provide different power, 60W for the 13-inch MacBook Pro and 85W for the 15-inch MacBook Pro. If you use a 15-inch MacBook Pro charger with a 13-inch Mac, you won't have any problem, but if you use a 13-inch MacBook Pro charger with the 15-inch MacBook Pro, the charge may be slower

  • Transfering music from iPod mini to new computer

    Ok, so I have two older ipods; the mini and the 4th gen. click wheel version. I no longer have access to the computer that housed both iTunes libraries whatsoever. Now that I have a new comp, how do I transfer my iPod music from both items to the new itunes library?

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod"

    I have a Sony AC-U50AD charger can I use it on my ipod touch and ipad mini - there is a switch for "ipod" - I've had the adapter for several years and I think it's ok for my ipod touch but since it pre-dates both of these products I want to try and make sure it's ok to use with them before I do use it. Thanks.

    If iTunes does not see your iPod then your only hope is a data recovery company. Not cheap.
    However, you may be able to get some photos by:

    - If they are in an iPod backup then restore another iPOd, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    - If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini

    There is no license required for iWeb.  Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
