Can I use my iPod Cord to also recharge my iPhone?

someone told me I could NOT use my iPod Charging cord for my iPhone...gee, they look identical.....is there any reason they can't be interchangeable?

No, the only difference is that the iPod cables have squeeze release buttons, as opposed to the one that comes with the iPhone that just pulls out.

Can you use the iPod connector cable to charge the iPhone or

only the cable that came with the iPod?
Also, I put the iPhone briefly into my old inMotion speakers and a message
came up saying that the device didn't support an iPhone and would either not
charge my iPhone or have bad consequences for my iPhone-i wasn't sure-it did
work in the speakers tho.

I use an iPod connector almost all the time and have never had a problem, even after market iPod connectors, but you'll get a different response depending on who you talk to. The guy at the Genius Bar told me yes, but phone support said no. Short answer...You should be able to use the iPod connector.
When you plug the iPhone into some 3rd party devices, you'll get a message stating "not compatible with iPhone" but that is because you are going to get interference because of the cell signal. You can put it into Airplane mode to avoid the interference or just deal with the interference and just click OK. That being said, I have read other posts where these devices do cause damage to the iPhone so proceed at your own risk.

Can I use my iPod touch 4th gen to text iPhone users?

I am using iPod touch 4th gen and I want to know how can I text my friends that are using iPhones. I mean, how do I add them in my contacts (will I need to put their phone number and where?) and how can I message them? Thanks!

Since you have iOS 6.1.2, you should have iMessage, make sure your AppleID is entered in the Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID: field.
Check the Contacts to see the friends are entered, and in their iPhone number field, indicate that those are iPhones, one of the choices you can make for the type of mobile phone.

The transfer of purchased content to authorised computers has been 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 is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes

If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod 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 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. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on 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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Can i use my ipod like a phone?

I was wondering..instead of using an iPhone can i use and iPod as a phone?

Only if you use apps like skype for example, which would also require headphones with a microphone. You can make FaceTime calls to other iOS devices if you have an iPod 4G.
And you'll have to be connected to Wi-Fi, to be able to use these apps.

Can I use an IPod to back up Itunes, TV shows, and pics?

Can I use an IPod to back up the by Itunes, TV shows, and pics?Can I do a resotore off an IPOD? OS/X user...?
I have about 50GB or so of stuff I have purchased from Itunes and have not back it up yet. I looked into using DVD's and NAS devices, but I think I can also just get a new 80GB Ipod and use it as both a portable device and my main back up for my purchased stuff. Other files, like word and excel I back up using my .MAC I-disk, but the music and video files required much more space and bandwidth, so I have to back up localy.
If I have to do a restore, will I be able to restore off of an IPOD?

if you use the ipod in disk mode then, yes, you could use it to backup/restore files
but i'd never recommend using an ipod for this
great music player, but not something to rely on to keep your data safe
if you want a backup disk, get a dedicated external hard drive, it'll be way cheaper and a lot more reliable

Can I use the iPod Nano cable and AC power supply with the iPhone?

Just purchased my iPhone 3G. Phone was in my pocket and the AT&T clerk neglected to put the box with the computer cable in the bag with the other accessories.
Until I can pick it up, can I use my iPod Nano cable? The plug seems the same size but I don't want to break anything.
Also, there was no power supply in the box due to the recall. Can I use the iPod AC power supply I bought for the iPod? It is the white brick about 3" by 3" by 1" with a USB socket in the side.
Thank you for helping me with my start-up glitches.

Ps. When you do get the accessories, look for a green dot (on the side where the prongs of the plug come out). If there, fine; if not, your adapter is subject to the recently announced recall of ultracompact USB adapters.

With wifi available you can use an app like Skype for voice and video (4G only). There are also texting app like Text+.. There is also the native FaceTime and Messahes for iPods that use iOS 5. You need a wifi connection for all.

Can I use my Ipod touch to surf the internet on my HDTV?

Can I use my Ipod touch to surf the internet on my HDTV?

The quality is questionable, and text when viewed at a short distance does become un-readable, although, viewed from a distance, the touch outputs the PERFECT browsing experience in rich colour, and text with anti-alias.
Also, it is to e noted that the old composite and component cables are still being sold on the online Apple store, alongside the new and improved one which support the ipod Touch. The old cable sets DO NOT support the iPod Touch even though the site may say they do. I reported this to Apple Onine and they changed the old cable set compatibility pictures to not feature the ipod touch anymore.
On the subject of accessories for the toouch, you may also be inclined to know that I have confirmation from Apple that the current 'camera conector/adapter' they are selling on the Apple Online Store, DOES support transfer of photos from your camera to the iPod Touch. And for £20, its a spiffy gadget to have in your pocket.
Thats All. Hope this helps your decision to invest.

Can I use my ipod touch as a airplay receiver to hook up to my stereo and play my itunes music from my computer?

I just was wondering, Can I use my ipod touch as a airplay receiver to hook up to my stereo and play my itunes music from my computer?

I believe there's got to be a way you can use the ipod touch as a airplay receiver to use on the stereo.
The ipod touch has a port for plugging in earphones, that can also be used to plug a stereo into it.
Now somebody just has to make an app for using on ipod touch or iphone to plug directly into the stereos input
jack to play itunes music from your computer wirelessly, other than the ipod being plugged into the stereo with a wire.

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple

I just bought an Apple TV. I have found that I can only use my Ipod "remote" app for Apple TV products and not with my Netflix app-the Home TV icon only shows with Apple products.
I had hoped that I could use my Laptop Pro for unrelated tasks while I watch a movie-I have chosen TV only on the drop down. I dont seem to be able to seperate the two

The movies do not download onto apple TV it shows them as purchased and you need to stream them down. If you want to show your purchased music on Apple TV you need to sign up for iTunes Match.
There seem to be a few glitches with iTunes Match so i just use the computer icon to listen to music on my computer through Apple TV. If you have your Movies and TV shows on your computer this is where you will find them.
The Movies and TV Shows buttons on the main page of Apple TV show you films and tv shows you have purcahsed or cen rent or purchase.
You can also sync your Photos over as well. Method is slightly different in that in iTunes on the computer
File > HomeSharing > Choose photos to share with Apple TV

Can i use the charge cord from my iPad Air on my iPhone 5S?

Can i use the charge cord that shipped with my iPad Air to charge my iPhone 5S?
thanks.
iPad Air Wi-Fi, iOS 7.1, 32gb

You can also use the iPad charger (12W) to charge the iPhone (its charger is 5W) and it will charge the iPhone faster.

Can I use my iPod touch while it's charging?

Hi, I've tried to research this so I wouldn't have to ask, but have had no luck. So, my question is, can you use your iPod Touch while it is plugged into the charger? Would that do any damage to the iPod? Thanks, Diane

Axel, I meant to also mark your response as Solved, but I checked Helpful by mistake. Hope that didn't take any "points" away from you. Diane
