Charging 80 GB iPod with old accessoire

Hello,
Can I charge my 80 GB iPod with the firewire-adaptor I got with an old generation 3 iPod with 15 GB?

Firewire and USB do indeed use different voltage levels, but the Firewire and USB power are on separate pins on the iPod's dock connector. So the +5V USB charging voltage goes to one pin while the Firewire voltage (+12V or higher I think) goes in through another pin. So everything is all safe using old Firewire connection devices to charge new iPods.

    By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

  • Can i charge my new nano with old adapter

    can i charge the new nano with a old ipod nano power adapter?

    thank you, is it possible to use any usb outlet charger for the nano not just made by apple, from what i heard some works but some people's ipod got fried idk
    It's hard to tell for certain, but if you are going to use a third party USB AC Charger, I would check for different reviews online for whether or not they are compatible with your iPod. Just double check for input and output voltages it works with and compare it to those that your iPod Nano can handle.

  • Charging New iPod with Old FireWire Charger

    Hi, this should be a quick one to solve... I have an old FireWire AC Charger from a 2nd (or 3rd?) Gen iPod I no longer use, and the original FW cable. The dock connector on the old FW cable fits my newer iPods (5.5G iPod Video and a Touch), can the FW AC charger be used to charger these newer USB-only iPods, or will it fry them?
    If so, will it also work with a Nano? I want to get one for a friend who doesn't own a computer, so a wall charger will be their only way to charge (in which case I'll just by a new wall charger if the old FW one is incompatible).
    Thanks!
    (Note: I don't need it to transfer data, just to charge)

    Yes, you can charge new iPod off older Firewire chargers. Just no data transfer.
    Cheers,

  • Charging 60GB 5G iPod with third party USB chargers

    I have a 60GB 5G iPod which charges fine from my PC and an old wall charger that came with my original 1G iPod. However, it will not charge from either a USB wall charger (Swisstravel) or a 12V car USB charger - both of which charge other USB devices (including other iPods...) fine.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Any solution?
    Thanks

    This has been happening to me over this month and I eventually ended up buying a new wall charger. I think that the chargers wear down after so much use.

  • HT1329 My old computer crashed but still have my IPOd with old music. How to transfer the music into new computer which has already music in it?

    My old computer crashed and I still have my music in an IPod. How to transfer the music/playlists into a new computer which has already music in it? (Not possible to copy ITunes of old computer in IPod)
    Thanks

    Lucky for you, I just found out how to get the music stored on your iPod by messing around with it. I'm not much of an Apple user (I only have a shuffle), so I'm not 100% sure it would work the same way as yours.. but it's worth a shot.
    if your iTunes didn't sync with your iPod yet,... that would be great..
    1, Make sure your iTunes does not automatically sync with your iPod (I don't know if this would help..)
    2, Click on your iPod and go to settings, check "Enabe Disk Use"
    Your iPod should now have a partition on My Computer called AFJCHAW's IPOD or whatever you named your iPod... If you go to that disk, you'll notice there's nothing in there.
    3, Click on Organize at the top right part of Windows Explorer(Windows 7, don't know how in XP..), go th the Folder and search options, view tab, and click on show hidden files, folders, and drives.
    If you go back to your disk, you should be able to find a folder
    4, It'll be pretty straightforward then. Go to iPod_Control/Music. You'll find folders there. Inside the folders are each of your music files (they're renamed but the Details would still be about the same).
    If you did get your music files back from this procedure, then, yay! it worked!!
    If you didn't,.... it should've worked..

  • Quickest way to sync new ipod with old one?

    Hi all - I have not been able to find an answer to this specific circumstance, so I'm hoping someone here can help... Here it is:
    I have two Nanos (we'll call them "new" and "old"). All of the music that is on the "old" Nano is on my MacBook, in iTunes. I'm not switching computers, fyi.
    Because I have thousands more songs on my computer than are on the Nano, I would like an easy method for putting all of the songs that are on the "old" device onto the "new" device (easier than manually locating them in iTunes and adding them to "new" Nano).
    The solution might have something to do with syncing, I dunno. Should I select "sync music" on the "old" device? If so, what does that do and what is the next step for adding those exact songs to my "new" device? Whatever the answer, please spell it out for me.   Thanks!

    Nevermind. Found my answer here: Transferring a playlist from one ipod to another 

  • New iPod with old Dock?

    My son has a new 30gb iPod Video. Since Apple cheaped out and didn't include a dock or charger, can he plug the new model into my 3rd gen touchwheel dock for charging? My dock is firewire, and I believe the new iPod is USB, but it appears the connectors match.
    30gb iPod video   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    As far as I know, the main difference in the dock is the width/thickness of the area surrounding the dock connector. Does the 30GB 5G come with anything to put into an older dock to make the fit more snug?
    I'm not certain about the actual connector, but I believe that it should fit.
    Another question is: with an older dock (3g, etc.) can you use the line out for video from the 5g ipod?

  • New ipod with old itunes, do I have to unistall old ipod?

    I recently purchased a new iOS 8.1 ipod touch to replace my 6.6.  When installing it I told iTunes to place certain old playlists on my new ipod.  Now I'm getting new syncing errors in which it loses my place in audiobooks. Never had this happen before.
    As a computer challenged old man, is there something I need to do to make this my new default player. I wonder if its resetting my files to what my old ipod had rather than resyncing it with the current position on my new ipod.

    They are in the Audio book library and not in your Music library, right?
    In iTunes on your computer in the Get Inof for the Audio Books is remember playback position checked?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all audiobooks and resync
    To delete all AudioBooks go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music and delete them
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • HT201272 How to transfer music purchases from ipod with old Apple id to a new laptop with new apple id?

    I have over 300 songs purchased on my old ipod nano using a previous and no longer valid e-mail address, i cannot remember the old password or anything related to it. Now, I would like to transfer those purchases to my new PC and Iphone and I am not getting nowhere trying doing so because itunes is requesting pasword for the old apple id e-mail which I cannot remember.
    Please advise 

    Apps and other media from iTunes can only be used with the account they were bought with.

  • Charging a US iPod with UK Charger

    Would it be possible to use a UK or European iPod Mini charger to refill the battery on my iPod (US) Mini?

    Correction to Jeff's post. If the charger is a universal charger, like the original Apple sold charger, then his post is correct. However, if your charger is a third party charger, you have to check the specs on it to see what the input is rated for. Some may be universal but other may be specifically designed (to cut costs) to only take UK voltages.

  • Cant charge new i touch with old wall charger

    I bought an i-touch recently because I was going on vacation. In the purchasing store they were ,out, of chargers (wall charger) Went to another store and learned they were on recall, not in prior to my departure. Was assured by employees at both stores Corte Madera and Emeryville that the i-pod charger would work. So now am in Japan and i-pod charger does not work (is not supported) and so for the remainder of my trip my I-touch is useless, which is of course v. frustrating! Any suggestions?

    Yes, they changed the charging circuits to only work with the new Apple charger, sorry.
    See if you can find a PC anywhere to charge it, maybe.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using a new ipod with old library

    I recently switched from a 2nd generation to a video...When i tried to importmy library, some of the songs did not transfer and said I was not authorized to listen. I also recently purchased a video from itunes that will not add to my ipod when I drag it, also saying that i am not authorized. A majority of the songs transfered, but what is with the others not working?

    It won't even play a few seconds of it. It says the file cannot befound when i try to play it through itunes. When it asks if I want to find it, nothing is found...

  • New iPods with old eMac

    I have a G4 eMac with USB 1 and,of course, firewire. The newer iPods have no firewire connection and are using USB 2. I know that USB 2 is backward compatible with USB 1 but it USB 1 is painfully slow for data transfer.
    Is there any way to add USB 2 to an older eMac?
    If I purchased an external HD with both FW and USB2 ports, could I attach the HD to the eMac with FW and then use the USB2 port on the external HD to attach a new USB2 iPod and get true USB2 performance.
    TIA.
    Maurice

    The USB 1.1 ports can't be upgraded. A dual-interface HD won't trick the computer into running faster, either; nor are there any Firewire-USB converters.
    On the semi-bright side, depending on which model iPod you have in mind, you might be able to just purchase the iPod Firewire 400 dock cable for around US$20 and use that. The cable's no longer included with new iPods but it still works with the larger iPods although not, apparently, with the Shuffle or the Nano.
