Can I use my G3 ipod charger with my new G5 ipod?

I have just bought a new G5 ipod (80gig). As the new ones no longer ship with a charger in the box I was wondering whether I can still use the one that came with my old gen 3 ipod. The G3 charger is for a firewire connection and the G5 is now usb but if I connect the new ipod to the charger using the firewire cable that came with the G3 ipod using the dock connection will this work, or more importantly, do any damage. The link up would be : charger with firewire socket - firewire to dock cable- new 5G ipod dock connection socket.

Yes, no problem. I have an older firewire charger that I use all the time.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air

    Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air that comes with a 45 watt charger. One says its 14.8 volts and the other is 20 volts.

    To be clear, the wattage of the adapter is not the power delivered to the Mac, but rather the power the adapter is capable of delivering.
    Think of it as the difference between a 200 HP and a 400 HP engine; both can drive at a certain speed with no issues, the difference is what happens if you floor the gas pedal.
    The same is true between the higher wattage power adapter that comes with the iPad and the one that comes with iPhones; you can use the higher wattage adapter to charge and iPhone with no issue, but if you try and use the iPhone adapter to charge the iPad it may work, but it will take much, much longer.

  • Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
    Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

  • Can i use my wired xbox controller with a new game i just bought (call of duty 2)

    can i use my wired xbox controller with a new game i just bought (call of duty 2

    If you can find drivers for it (it could be partially supported already since OS X comes with a load of drivers build in)... I guess it could work.
    I know some people use USB Overdrive to make stuff compatible, you might want to give it a spin: http://www.usboverdrive.com
    Then again Microsoft does have a PC version of it: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/xbox-360-controller-for-windows#detail s

  • Can I use the old power supply with the new unit?

    I have a second generation Apple TV. When I install the new unit next week can I use the old power supply with the new one and the new power supply with the old one? This would save some messing with cords behind the units.

    Hello:
    I would definitely not try that.....  The power supplies may be compatible - or may not be compatible.  I think messing with cables is a small price to pay for not potentially frying a new device.

  • Can we use the same electrical charger of IPhone 5 to IPod classic

    Hi,
              This is Rayudu. Recently I purchased iPhone 5 and 4 years back I purchased IPod classic 120 GB.
              My question is - Using the electrical plug of iPhone 5 can we charge iPod classic ? I will use the same USB cable of iPod classic, Only the electrical plug I am going to use of iPhone 5 's.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks for your replies in advance.

    Yes, you can use the iPhone 5 charger with the classic's charging cable to charge any older iPod or iPhone. An iPad would require the larger 10w charger.

  • Can i use an old car charger with a usb port to charge my iPhone 5s?

    Can I use an old car charger for a not smart phone to charge my iPhone 5s through the usb port?

    Usually you can!
    check if the specification of charger (USB output) is 5V (very important) and at least 500mA (more power like 1000mA --> 1A allow you to charge greater devices like iPad)
    But personally is not good idea, because in short/long time can damage or reduce the life of battery of your iPhone/iPad etc.
    Bye

  • Can I use my old firewire charger with my iPod Touch

    I've recently got an 8GB iPod Touch which obviously only came with a USB cable to charge and sync with my laptop.
    However, I've also got an old 4th generation 20GB iPod which came with a firewire lead that connects to a firewire mains charger. Can I use this to charge my iPod touch from the mains? Also can I use either the firewire or the old USB cable to connect to my laptop??
    Thanks very much.

    You can use the firewire charger to connect your Touch to the mains. I use my old one and it works just fine. I suppose you can also use it to charge using your computer though I can't say I've tried. However, as the newer iPods don't have any kind of firewire circuitry, you can't use the firewire cable to sync you iPod.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I use 85w Macbook pro charger with Macbook?

    Hi,
    I have a Macbook with a 60w charger (standard) but I also have a 85w charger going spare from a Macbook Pro, can i use the 85w Macbook Pro charger on my 13" Macbook as a spare or will it damage it?

    Works fine - no damage. The 85 watt rating is the MAX load it can handle, the Macbook uses less, and will just take what it needs.

  • 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).

  • How can I use an existing iTunes library with a new iTunes account

    My daughter is going to college, and wants to untangle herself from the family iTunes account. Right now, we have three iPods with libraries on three computers, all using my iTunes account - and have had no problems.
    She has signed up for a new account, but her previously purchased songs (on my account) won't play on her computer (new computer, iTunes is currently almost empty library), because it is authorized to HER iTunes account.
    What is the best way to import her iTunes library that was created using my account onto her new computer? (Old library is on a PC, she now has an iBook, purchased used on eBay.) Is there any way to get these songs to play using her new account info? Can I maybe copy them somewhere without the metadata and then move them into her library? I realize that would lose ratings and other info, but would it get rid of the block? I'm not trying to do anything dishonest - these are personal iPods, personal computers, all within one family, we've paid for all music on them.
    Any advice is greatly appreciated!
    (I posted this in the iTouch discussion, and then thought it wuold be better answered over here.)

    Then can her computer be authorized to both accounts?
    Absolutely. You can authorize any given computer to up to five iTunes Store accounts.
    If purchases are made on her account, to a computer authorized to my account, can I put those songs on my iPod?
    If you connect your iPod to her computer, yes. Tracks download only to the computer from which they're purchased, regardless of which iTunes Store account is used for the purchase. Or you could copy the tracks from her computer to yours and then authorize your computer to her iTunes Store account. But that's sort of defeating the original purpose, it would seem to me.
    is it better to buy music through Amazon downloads and/or actually purchasing CDs to avoid the security features iTunes puts on its music?
    That's certainly an option. If it's an entire album I want, I buy CDs. That way I can import them at the quality I want and to whichever of my systems I want. Amazon or one of the other download stores that offer tracks as MP3 are also an option, though for me download stores are best when you just want a couple of tracks off a given CD.
