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.

    If you are unable to get the iPod into Disk Mode to try and restore it, it's a very good indication, as mentioned in the article, that the iPod's hard drive is damaged and in need of replacement either by Apple or a third party repair company.

  • Can you use a iPod nano 4G With iTunes 10

    I was wondering can you use a iPod nano 4G with the new  iTunes 10

    Yes.  All previous generations of your iPods should still work with the latest version of iTunes.

    Get a replacement cable. If still under warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

    No, they do not look the same.  Open your eyes and take a 2nd look.
    The iPhone cable connects to the iPhone via Apple's proprietary dock connector.
    The cable for the galaxy connects via an industry standard microUSB cable.

    DM wrote:<B>Can you use Limewire to transfer songs to a Zen player?</B>But if its corrupted then it might cause your player to stop working.
    FYI: Normally, Limewire will indicate that a file is corrupted and give you the opportunity to continue with the download or cancel it.

  • If you use your iPod Touch while its charging, will it ruin the battery life/battery?

    I have an iPod Touch 5th gen. and people say that if you use your iPod/iPhone while its charging, the battery life will deacrease or the battery will be ruined/shot

    However, you should almost fully discharge and fully charge the battery monthly otherwise you will degrade the battery.

  • Can you use an Australian purchased ipad 3G in the USA and Canada and can you get Aussie sim card work there

    My daughter is going to the US and Canda soon and we want to get an ipad to contact.
    Can you use an ipad purchased in Australia?
    Also is it best to buy a prepaid sim card here or overthere?

    The 3G telecom in the USA is AT&T, so she will need an AT&T microSIM and then to activate a data plan from the iPad.

    She can activate the data plan for a month with a bank card and then deactivate as she wishes. Hopefully AT&T will allow an international bank card.

  • Can you use FaceTime or iChat to call a non-iPhone?

    Can you use FaceTime or iChat to call a someone who does not have an iPhone?

    Hi,
    Yes.
    Just to be clear let me qualify that.
    FaceTime can contact other devices that use FaceTime either by a iPhone Number (includes some iPads) or an Apple ID.
    There is a FaceTime for Mac version so the person you contact (by Apple IDs) does not have to be on an iPhone.
    As well as iPhones certain other iOS 5 devices can use FaceTime and these include iPads as already mentioned and certain version of iPod Touches.
    As iChat does not work to iPhones and is an Instant Messaging app that can do Video and Audio Only chats and Screen Sharing, File Transfers, Pics-in-chats, iChat Theatre and more then the answer is also Yes.
    I suspect the question was really "Can I contact other phones that can do Video using FaceTime ?"  the answer to that is No.
    iChat can Text chat to most client apps on Phones (Jabber or AIM for instance)
    Video needs iChat (Or AIM or Trillain on a  PC).

  • Can I use an ipod shuffle 4th gen charger with an ipod shuffle 2nd generation?

    Basically, last week I lost my ipod shuffle (4th gen). ****. so consequently I have bought a second hand 2nd gen shuffle, thinking that the USB - minijack cable would work fine - and it fits perfectly. But my 'new' ipod is not showing up in itunes, and neither is it illuminating...
    I spoke to Apple Support, and they suggested plugging it in for an extended period of time, as the battery may be 100% flat, but after an hour still nothing.
    Any ideas, folks?
    Ta!

    The USB cable for the 4th gen iPod has a different connector at the iPod end.  This is the replacement part for the one used by the 4th (and 3rd) gen shuffle
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC003ZM/A
    and it states at the bottom that it is only compatible with the 3rd and 4th gen shuffle.
    This is the replacement part for a second gen shuffle (with a "mini-dock").
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA694G/A
    It's somewhat expensive compared to $49 for a brand new shuffle.  There are cheaper third-party replacements (most have just the connector with no dock) available on Amazon and eBay, and elsewhere.  Just make sure it is described as being for the 2nd gen shuffle.

  • HT5622 Can you use more than one apple ID on the same computer? I can't sign in and out and sync my iPod because my library isn't on there.

    My sister has an iTunes account on our main computer, and I have one on our laptop.  I want to be able to sync my iPod with the main computer, but I can't because my library is on the laptop.  Is there any way to sync my iPod with my library on the computer?

    Yes
    http://www.imore.com/how-use-multiple-apple-ids-one-computer-and-itunes
    However you can only sync all media from one iTunes library/computer. However, one can sync music and videos with different computers/libraries if you have iTunes setup to manually sync. See that method included here:

  • Can you use two iPod's on the same computer?

    I currently have an iPod Video, and my mother wants to get a shuffle or nano. The problem is, we only have one computer that will let iTunes run. Is it possible to use two iPods on the same computer, or even with the same iTunes?

    See these articles about using more than one iPod on one computer, and with either one or more iTunes libraries.
    Multiple iPod installations.
    How to use multiple iPods with one computer.
    If you have the latest iTunes, an easy way to create a new library is to hold down the 'alt' key whilst opening iTunes (for Macs), or hold down the 'shift' key (for Windows).
    This will give you the option of either using the current iTunes library or creating a new one.
    There are various methods of transferring different songs to different iPods with a single iTunes library.
    One is to manage the songs manually.
    With this setting, you can drag and drop songs/playlists etc onto the iPod from iTunes, and also delete and/or edit songs which are currently on the iPod without affecting the iTunes library.
    If you wish to keep the convenience of automatic sync, then you could set the iPods to sync with "selected playlists". This setting can be found in the iPod summary screen under the 'music' tab. With this setting, different playlists can be transferred and later deleted from each iPod without affecting any playlists stored in iTunes or the playlists on the other iPods.
    Also, on the 'summary' main page you will see the option to "only sync checked items". With this setting selected, if you remove the check marks from any songs in iTunes, they will not be transferred to the iPod. You can restore the check mark if you want to put the songs back on the iPod at a later date.
    Be aware that when playing songs in iTunes, any songs that do not have a check mark against them will be skipped over and will not be played.
