Charging and Listening to Zen Visio

If you are connecting to your computer to charge, you cannot listen at the same time? Is this true? Please advise!

Try restarting your phone by holding the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

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.

Charge and listen in car?

i have a 2g ipod shuffle, i can listen to it in my car via a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable connected to the aux socket of my car, but is there anything i can buy which will allow me to charge and listen to it at the same time?

your car in this case its just a speaker
what you can do, its buying a special charger for the car, and buying a special adapter in the shape of a "Y" so it has two inlets and one outlet, one inlet for the charger, another for the cable that connects to the car and the outlet to connect to the ipod.
hope this was useful

Charge and listen simultaneously while using car adapter?

hey everyone, so i realize that the itrip for nano is out, but yesterday while i was at target i found a little wee device called a "VR3 modulator" which was only $20. a steal compared to $60-70! ... it sez its fer all mp3 players and can be compatible with ipods! it has a usb port and an audio port. if i plug it into the audio port, itll play the music. if i plug it into the usb port, it'll charge. my question is: "is there any way to do both *at the same time*??" i know i can do both if i connectmy ipod to my mac (all i do is trash it and itll charge and play)... but when i connect to the usb port i get the "do not disconnect" image on the screen. theres no "trash" to send it to, so am i just forced to do either one or the other? ... am i gonna have to give in and go buy the griffin itrip or that one that (i thinks) is a belkin?

Strange sort of car adapter. I use a Monster iCarPlay. It plugs into a power port in the car (what used to be called a cigarette lighter) and connects to the nano's dock. It contains an FM transmitter that allows me to pick up my nano's music on the car stereo. Yes, it's more expensive. But it lets me charge the nano while I'm listening to my music.
Sometimes you get what you pay for.

Is there a way to split the line out with a splitter and charge it and listen to the music at the same time? Thanks.

No products that do it, but there's a DIY solution:

For everybody having trouble connecting, turning on, charging and updating the Zen Vision

Wrorke wrote "Make sure you have your USB ports set to be on even if not in use.
Mine wouldn't charge on my laptop. Turned out the laptop was set to turn the USB ports off when they weren't being used.
To fix this on XP, go into the XP Control Panel/System/Hardware/Device Manager. Then open the USB devices (near bottom of list). For each hub, open the Properties/Power and set the option to not turn the power off when not in use.
I did this for each of the hubs listed.
Then my ZVM charged and is now working great")This should work on most computers except some Dells, Gateways, Custom Builds, and off brand computers. I had to turn off the usb emulator before the ZVM was recognized on my averatec(cheap) notebook. Before trying, you should try the step above. To Turn off the usb emulater, go into the setup menu that appears if you push f2 on one of the screens that come up after you restart your computer. I know its different in gatways. Look for usb emulation and turn it off, usually by following on screen directions.Message Edited by ebah4290 on 2-26-2006:38 AM

I just looked at my router (Belkin N+) and I think you might want to set your data encryption to AES+TKIP. This is, by the way, the default when encryption is set to WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK on my router.
You need to be careful on password entry. The touch is case sensitive as well so if you miss one, it is not going to connect.
D-Link routers have been the source of a number of Apple and iPod touch connection issues. Just to be on the safe side, check and see if a firmware update is available. If there is one, install it.

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.

Possible to charge and listen at same time on XP Computer w/o iTunes?

Is it possible to charge my iPod video and use it (listen/watch video) at the same time by connecting it to a computer that doesn't have iTunes installed? While it's connected and charging it has the "Do not disconnect" message and I can't enter the menu system. If I remove/eject from Windows XP through the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon it appears that it stops charging also.
Thanks.

Windows (with laptops especially) sometimes likes to shut off the USB power when Ejecting a device.
Try this;
1 - On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
2 - Double-click the System icon.
3 - Click the Hardware tab.
4 - Click Device Manager.
5 - Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
6 - Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
7 - Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
8 - Click the Power Management tab.
9 - Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
10 - Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
11 - Restart the computer.

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.

Track Scratching and Skipping on Zen Visio

Hi. So I got my player a couple of weeks ago. But at least half of the songs on it scratch (every minute or two I get a scratch sound as if it's being mixed by a DJ on a turntable or something). And songs frequently just skip and move onto the next track. When I restart the song, it skips at exactly the same point in the song so it's not random.
All of the songs are fine when I play them on my PC, Windows Media Player never scratches when playing them. It it possible my player is corrupted in some way? Am I doing something wrong when transferring them? (i don't see how this is possible but I'm guessing it's something to do with the transfer process).
It's really annoying. Other than that the player's brilliant, especially video, but this skipping/scratching thing is really getting on my nerves.

Thats really peculiar... my micro once showed a 5 minute song as being 3 seconds, and the progress bar at the bottom was full for the whole song, but after playing once, it automatically fixed itself. I know it would be a hassle, but maybe plugging your micro into a wall outlet, and haveing it play through the book would fix it.

1G iPod Shuffle charge and play

Can I plug a 1G iPod Shuffle into the UBS power adaptor wall charger AND listen to it through the headphone jack at the same time?
It may seem like a stupid question but, I'm returning my 2G iPod because it can't do both at the same time.
New sales pitch:
2G iPod Shuffle, It can't walk and chew gum!

Wrong answer, unfortunately, and your example (while
correct - it won't play when connected to a USB port)
doesn't fit the question asked.
In fact, you CAN play the 1G Shuffle through the
earphone jacks using Apple's USB charger; many folks
are doing that in any number of applications where
they're just providing background music in a business
or whatever.
It plays out of the jacks, not out of the base, and
that is why it doesn't work on the 2G model; there's
no difference between the two and no way to get to
the audio on the provided dock (making me suspect
that some ingenious German is working up a modded
dock even as we speak, something that will be a
slightly bulkier version of the current one but will
feature an earphone jack .... it should be possible
to do that).
Not all USB chargers are created equal and, while
they will charge the Shuffle just fine, the shuffle
won't play. This has to do with how the pins are
connected in the charger bases themselves, and there
are several sites on the web which tell you how you
can work around that.
Thanks, that was my suspicion and hope.
I tried fabricating a 'y' for the 2G with a 4 conductor 3.5mm female (to the iPod Shuffle dock), 4 conductor male (to the iPod Shuffle) and a 3 conductor female for audio out.
If only the dock (which was connected to the USB charger) and the 2G Shuffle were connected, the Shuffle would charge.
If only the headphones and the Shuffle were connected, the headphones work, i stereo, no problem.
BUT, once you plugged in both the headphones and the dock neither would work.
Sent the 2G back ordered the 1G and am keeping the Apple USB charger.
Thanks

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.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing Your Songs Manually
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.

Is it okay to use your new iPod Touch before charging it for the first time? I did and then listened to it while charging and syncing. Thanks

Just got the 5G Touch. I turned it on and was using the camera and stuff before I charged it for the first time. Then while charging, I listened to the music I was syncing through the speakers. This okay? I remember reading to always charge full before ever doing anything on them. Doesnt say anything in the startup manual though.
Thanks guys.

Should be OK. Just make sure that the iPod is charging.

Operating Zen V Plus with full charge and charger plugged

Hello:?Just received my Zen V Plus.
I would like to be able to operate the controls when the unit is fully charged with the charger plugged in, but the controls are locked out in this configuration. How can I re-enable the controls without unplugging the unit's?Sorry if this is a repeat question. I scanned the FAQs and tried a few searches, but nothing seemed to directly address my question. Thanks.Message Edited by sabda on 03--200703:30 PM

Well, I figured it out. The on/off/lock button has different behavior when the unit is charged and plugged into the charger versus unplugged. When unplugged, a momentary push downward turns the unit on and a longer "push and hold" prompts the shutdown mode.
When the unit is plugged in, all that the momentary push does is light up the full charge indicator and the backlighting on the play and back buttons. It takes the "push and hold" on the on/off/lock button to turn the unit on. The unit works great!
