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.

Problem of my iPod with speaker/charger

I have bought a new charger and a pair of new speakers. I plug the charger to my iPod, it can charge my iPod. But when I want to play with the games in my iPod when charging, the monitor of the iPod doesn't work!! This problem also occurs when I plug the iPod to the speakers. After I unplugged the charger/speakers, it becomes normal again. Is it the problem with my charger/speakers, or the iPod? Plz help me! =]

Does the manufacturer say the accessary is compatible with the iPod touch y have (model and iOS)? Have you checked the manufacturer's support website?

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?

Will Apple replace an iPod with broken charging port

My daughter has had her iPod for a year will Apple Repair or replace an iPod with broken charging port.

If still under warranty, Apple frequently says the damage is caused by operator error and would only be covered by an Applecare+ extended warranty.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the dock connector for less. Google for more.

HT1726 Charging iPod with mains charger or dock

When Charging an iPod Classic using a mains charger or an iPod dock (on a CD midi-system), do you simply remove the iPod when it's finished or is there a safe ejecting procedure like there is when charging from your computer?
I am being cautious as my last iPod stopped working when I removed it from the computer before it'd finished ejecting. Strictly speaking the iPod screen DID already say it was safe to eject (otherwise I'd not have removed it), but the line hadn't finished going across the iPod screen.
Thank You!

Yes it is fine to use that. See Using iPad power adapters with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

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

60GB 5G iPod Windows XP

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.

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.

Any way to charge mac book air with another charger

I am trying to help my aunt with her mac book air, but she didn't sent it with the charger. I have loads of chargers for our mac book pros, phones and Ipads. Does anyone know a way to either use those chargers or connect the devices to work off their batteries temporarily?

You can use any of the chargers from your MacBook Pros that have a Magsafe connector. It won't hurt the Air.

Fried My iPod with Auto Charger

Hey,
My car charger actually sparked at the bottom port of the iPod, and left smoky residue there (probably fried some connectors and circuits - there was actually a smoky smell). It immediately made my iTrip inoperable. Now I bought a new iTrip, but it won't work. Headphones will work on it though. Am I SOL with making another iTrip work on this thing? I'm kind of p.o.'ed, because this is my second iPod, and I'm not ready to buy another one just yet. Any suggestions on what I can do?
Thanks.

It sounds like you may have a damaged iPod.
Have you tried docking the iPod to a computer? If the port is bad, you shouldn't be able to get a connection. If you can, then you may just have a partially broken port.
In either case, there are a number of iPod repair services that could at the very least let you know if the iPod is repairable.
And as for your car charger, I'd not use it if you can help it. Some of the 3rd party accessories are garbage, and it could be the root cause of your problem,

Us ipod with uk charger

Hi, I would greatly appreciate any help on my question...
I have a mini ipod that I bought in the States. Now in the UK, is it okay to get a uk charger and plug the ipod into it? or does it need to still go through a voltage converter?
I turn on my laptop a lot, through a voltage converter, just to charge the ipod and it seems like a lot of strain on the computer for a little task.
thanks in advance!

iPods all charge using the same voltage, regardless of where they were purchased. Also, Apple supply power supply units which work pretty much anywhere in the world.
As long as you can physically connect the power supply to the power outlet in your country, the iPod will charge.
To simply answer your question: yes, you can get a UK charger to charge the iPod you have purchased.

Can i charge 30gig ipod with blackberry charger?

it says on the charger dc output 5.0v > 0.5A.
it says on iPod 5-30v > 1A max
surely this should be fine but i dont want to plug it in without being sure. has anyone charged an ipod this way before??

Blackberry charger has a dock connector? 30GB iPOd charges through the dock connector so I don't think the Blackberry charger will work.
