Charge and connect at the same time

I'm still waiting to get an N8 so can anyone tell me if it's possible to connect up a charger at the same time as using USB to connect a keyboard/mouse and external storage device via a powered usb hub?
In other words, can I use USB devices while it is being externally powered?
What about when it's using a dock that I've briefly seen on some youtube videos?

Sorry, but we're not allowed to speculate about future releases on these forums.
Cheers!

  • IPod Touch 4g won't charge and play at the same time

    I used to have a 4g Nano that I would play in my car through an aux cable and charge through a cigarette lighter charger. I just got a 4th gen iPod Touch and it no longer lets me charge and play at the same time. If both wires are connected it will only charge and not play, once I pull the charger part out it will play through the speakers. Is there a fix to this? Do I need a different charger so that it won't think it's simply docked?

    You would need to turn off hard drive mode via iTunes iPod settings on your home system to do this. I don't know if you have this mode on or off already. I thought I read that there is a way to enable/disable hard drive mode via the iPod buttons but I don't remember how.
    Thanks,

  • Charge and Listen at the same time?

    I am new to the IPOD experience, and I am listening to my IPOD Nano at work, without ITUNES. I want to listen to the IPOD and charge it at the same time. But it seems while the IPOD is charging, the "do not disconnect" icon is blinking, and I can't play any songs. The only thing I can do is "eject" the IPOD, and then I can listen. But even though it's plugged in, I don't think it's charging. I tried to download my music to some other media player on my office computer, but no luck. I am not allowed to download software, so I can't put ITUNES on my desktop. Any advice?

    even though you "eject" your ipod, it is still charging. and listening to it while it is chargin is okay.

  • Charging and listening at the same time?

    Is there a way to play and charge the Shuffle at the same time??

    Well considering that the charging/data USB cable and the headphones use the same jack, it doesn't seem possible. Maybe a y-cable would allow it, but some of the contacts in the headphone jack may serve two different purposes depending if the iPod is charging or playing, so may not be able to do both at the same time.
    On the other hand, you may be able to play the iPod through your computer while charging it. Set up the iPod for manual mode then if you plug it into a computer with iTunes installed, you can play music out of the iPod on your computer.

  • Can't charge and sync at the same time?

    I just bought my iPad 2, and noticed that I can't charge it and sync it at the same time like I can with the iPhone 4. I can if I have it plugged directly into my MacBook, but I use 2 different USB Hubs, and I have the iPad plugged into a hub. Is there a fix for this?
    The iPad is running iOS 4.3.
    The MacBook is running Mac OS 10.6.6

    I have a Griffin PowerDock, and having upgraded the software on my iPhone 3GS to IOS 5.1, I am able to charge and wirelessly synchronise simultaneously.
    I am hoping it will be the same for the iPad that I am planning on buying soon, although this will have to be a wall charge because of the extra power needed by the iPad.
    The fact that IOS 5.0 allows wireless synchronisation will probably stop any further development in this area by Belkin and Griffin.

  • Does MagSafe 2 T Connector get hot when charging and using at the same time (while the light still in amber) ?

    Hi,
    Just want to check out with the other Apple Users here. I am using a Late 2013 rMBP, however the T Connector do get hot while I am charging and using the mac at the same time. Is this normal ? or do I have to drop by an Apple Store to check it out ?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello there.
    It's quite normal for the magsafe 2 connector (magnetic one) to become a bit warm while it's charging your mac. It will be warmer when your battery is low and the heat will start to dissipate as the battery charges. There is absolutely nothing to worry about. Normally your magsafe can go upto 35℃ depending your surrounding temperature. Even mine does. Just remember the warmth should not be untouchable, if that is what you feel take to a apple genius bar to get it checked.
    Hope that helps.
    Thank you.

  • How can I charge and listen at the same time?

    I'm using a windows PC and the USB connector. If I plug the cable in, iTunes automatically opens and I get the "do not disconnect" message and can't play music.
    If I eject my iPod from iTunes, it doesn't charge anymore.

    You can listen to the music on your iPod through iTunes. Just click on the nano icon where the library and store and playlists are and hit play at the top. If you want to listen to it while charging, you can do that by using a wall adapter to charge. I do this at work when my battery starts to get low.

  • Connecting via USB and FireWire at the same time...

    Hey all,
    I have a 3rd Generation iPod (with the play/pause, menu, next track and previous track buttons between the screen and the touch wheel), and I just bought a new Nano.
    Obviously, I want to keep them both synced with my MBP, but there's a problem. The 3G will sync via the Dock-to-USB cable, but it will only charge and sync with Dock-to-FireWire. The Nano, on the other hand, doesn't support FireWire.
    So, in order to sync/charge them both, I have to use a different cable for each.
    Or, do I? Apple sells a Dock-to-USB-AND-FireWire cable (one Dock Connector with two wires coming out). I'd love to plug both the USB and FireWire connectors to the MBP and then just plug the Dock connector into one iPod and then into the other. But, in the documentation for the cable, it says not to connect both the FireWire and USB ends to the computer at the same time, or it might result in "unexpected behavior."
    Does anybody out there have any experience using this cable with both ends connected at the same time? Does it work? Have you noticed any "unexpected behavior?"
    I wanted to check before I go defying Apple's instructions.

  • Can I use both Wifi and a Lan connection at the same time?

    With me back in the dorms I have been limited to a slower connection than what I would like. Now we are able to use both Wifi and a Lan line so I was wondering to somewhat "double" my speed if there was any way to use both connections at the same time.
    Now I know that you can have both plugged in at the same time, I guess what I'm asking is, is there a way that I could set programs to use one or the other? Or some kind of virtual desktop that is set to use the other connection or anything that would allow both be used at the same time.
    Or am I just wishing for something that doesn't have any possible way to work?

    You can use both at the same time, but not gor Internet access if that's what you're asking.
    Now there is a thing called Link Aggregation, which combines a number of interfaces for speed/redundancy, but it really only works locally, and then only with ALL special equipment in the route, and most likely OSX Server involved.
    Sorry.

  • Can't i use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time?

    Hello to all and thanks in advance.I use xml schema and oledb data connection at the same time and the problem is that when I try to export the xml, the outcome is not what i expect.Without the oledb connection everything is ok (just the schema) and the xml complies with the schema.

  • Wi-fi connection on HP Deskjet 2540 and network at the same time?

    Hello
    Please can you tell me how to keep my connection to my wi-fi printer whilst connected to my Virgin Media Broadband? Every time I want to print I have to switch off the Virgin network connection and connect to the HP Deskjet Wi-fi, and then switch it back again to Virgin to browse or send emails.
    Thank you for your help

    Hey there @AC33 Welcome back
    I understand you are looking to install your printer on your network, so you can use the internet and printer at the same time. By the sounds of it, you may be connecting the printer currently, using the Wireless Direct feature, which will only allow you to connect to the printer or the network at a time. Basically, the printer is acting like a network.
    Here is a link for you to check out. It will help you install the printer on your network:
    Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless network for the HP Deskjet 2540 and HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 2...
    I hope this helps you, let me know the outcome

  • I have an iPad 2 (wifi 3G). Is it correct to use wifi and 3G at the same time ? Or one at time depending on connectivity? Thanks.

    I have an iPad 2 (Wifi + 3G). Is it correct to use the Wifi and 3G at the same time, or one at a time, depending on connectivity? Thanks in advance.

    Your iPad will use wifi first if available. If wifi is not available, it will use 3G.

  • Charge ipod and listen at the same time?

    hi,
    i sit at my desk for about 8 hours at work and would like to charge my ipod at my computer via usb and listen at the same time. is this possible? it's a pc computer here at work. and it does not have itunes installed and i don't see having itunes on it as a possibility.
    i don't like having to charge it, wait about an hour, then listen for a few hours, then charge it again.
    also, do you notice any battery "leakage"? i mean, i have some battery power at night when i turn it off, (yes, i do turn it off b/c the screen goes blank) and then when i get into work and try to turn it on, i get this battery looking thing and have to charge it.
    it's possible that the ipod came on while i was walking (it's in my bag), but this happens too often for me to think that it does.

    You'll need iTunes if you want to access your iPod and listen through your PC. Also you'll need to set it to manual update, see the articles below.

    When your iPod is in your pocket make sure you have the lock on to disable the controls otherwise it is liable to get switched on and use battery power.

  • Wired and Wifi has to be connected at the same time to not be disconnected!

    I work as a tester for WoW and for the past few months, I’ve had connection issues. I’ve had Comcast come out a few times and they are so eager to leave they look up the speed and say, “Oh you are good on speed” well I’m not. Every few mins I’m disconnected from the server. It’s not my computer and I’ve done every thing WoW suggested. The ONLY way I’m able to stay online for an hour is I have to have the wired and WiFi connected at the same time on my desktop. If you have any suggestions let me know.

    I have posted this many, many times here. See if this helps you understand how this process works with regard to system sounds and screen rotation lock.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?

    Can I turn off the wireless and use the wired connections at the same time?
    This is to avoid transmission when I work without the need for wireless

    Yes, you can. Just open the web interface of the router. On your browser type the IP address of your router, usually http://192.168.1.1 go to wireless tab and disable it.
