Charging from Mains using USB Cable

Hi,
I've not been able to get my classic to charge from the mains using a plug with USB socket and the cable that came with my Ipod. The same thing works for my TomTom and Garmin.
I've only ever been able to charge from my PC, Klipsch dock and the dock in my car.
Help! I'm going on holiday soon, and won't have a computer to charge it from!

The problem is that I want to be able to charge when on holiday, and even the official Apple travel charger is a glorified USB charger. As far as I'm aware, USB has a standard 5v output, and should work no matter what adaptor I have plugged into the mains as long as I use the dock -> USB adaptor included with my ipod?

Battery charging of ipad2 using USB cable

I am unable to charge my ipad2 when attached via USB to any of my computers. It states "not charging" on the ipad. Are there any settings I need to change in order to charge via USB?

Ipad 2 will charge with usb cable even it show "not charging" it just take a longer time because regular usb port does not give out 10w, let connected overnight and you'll see its charging...
or you can install a software called ai_chargexxx (i forget the full name) on your PC, just google it
This is not correct. If the battery icon on your iDevice doesn't show the lightning bolt, it isn't charging no matter how long you leave it on there. Most accessory USB ports on computers aren't powered and are bus-powered drawing power from the computers USB interface without a seperate power hookup. That aside, for devices the require more power than this, they will not work with this type of USB, as in the iPad. Most USB's that have the juice to power anything are typically found on the back of the computer and typically only provide 500mA which again is pretty low. That would charge it, but you might as well watch corn grow which would be faster.
As for the software you speak of, not heard of it, but willing to check it out.

Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is

Hello,
Will an Apple Iphone 3g charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer is sleeping?
I have a Motorola SLVR L7, two BCK-08 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and two iPower Secondary iPhone batteries that all charge from my Powered USB Hub while my main computer is sleeping.
It would seem that my iPhone 3g will not charge from a Powered USB Hub while the computer attached to it is sleeping?
Is there any way to get an Iphone 3g to charge from a PoWeReD UsB HuB while the computer it is attached to is sleeping?
I'm thinking in terms of greening things ... but this is making me leave a 170 Watt computer running while I sleep ... I don't use the computer much while asleep ...
Thanks for your time,
Bobby

How 'linux' is OS X?
In linux you can get a lot of USB information by typing "+lsusb -v+"
or through "/proc/bus/usb/devices"
(but they would both list everything connected via USB)
if you knew the vendor and device id you could type as an example
+(laptop:/proc/bus/usb) # lsusb -v -d 050d:805c+
+Bus 001 Device 008: ID 050d:805c Belkin Components+
+Device Descriptor:+
+idVendor 0x050d Belkin Components+
+idProduct 0x805c+
+bcdDevice 0.01+
+iManufacturer 1 Ralink+
+iProduct 2 802.11 n WLAN+
or
/proc/bus/usb/devices
+T: Bus=01 Lev=02 Prnt=03 Port=02 Cnt=01 Dev#= 8 Spd=480 MxCh= 0+
+D: Ver= 2.00 Cls=00(>ifc ) Sub=00 Prot=00 MxPS=64 #Cfgs= 1+
+P: Vendor=050d ProdID=805c Rev= 0.01+
+S: Manufacturer=Ralink+
+S: Product=802.11 n WLAN+
+C:* #Ifs= 1 Cfg#= 1 Atr=80 MxPwr= 4mA+
In windows under details it lists the parent ID (port above) so if you found the USB port the iPhone was connected to ... you could find the hardware and vendor id or name of the hub it was plugged in to ...
I'm thinking it might be easier and more positive to start a thread requesting that anyone who has an iPhone that will charge from their computer through a USB Hub while that computer is sleeping ... but I don't know if I can start a thread with a title that long ...

Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable

Hi,
I just buy this item and it seems that the item is not working...
What can i do?
Incase Dual Car USB Charger with Lightning to USB Cable
$39.95
Yakir

jddj,
If the charger uses the firewire pins (even though it uses a USB cable) to charge in the car it won't charge the iPhone 3G.
The iPhone 3G supports charging and syncing over USB only, the original iPhone supported charging over firewire in addition.
Hope this helps,

How Do We Charge N8 with its USB Cable?

Hello Everyone,
I tried to charge my N8 with USB cable but it didn't charge. I connected its USB Cable to my phone and laptop, but it didn't start charging my N8. Do I have to do something else?
If you know anything about it, please share the information here.
Thank you..

You can't but they may be a way around it. Not all usb ports support charging. Try the different ports on your laptop and see if any of them don't charge.

HOW CAN I CONNECT IPHONE 4 INTERNET TO MY PC USING USB CABLE

HOW CAN I CONNECT MY IPHONE 4 INTERNET CONNECTION TO MY PC USING USB CABLE AND I HAVE DONE TETHERING IN MY PHONE AND ALSO DOWNLOADED ITUNES USING FLASH DRIVE AS I HAVE NO INTERNET CONNECTION IN MY PC AND IN MY PC THERE IS NO DETECTION OF ANY APPLE DEVICE. PLZ HELP ME

First, knock off the all caps typing. It is considered shouting, rude, and is just plain hard to read.
Since you use the term "PC," are you using an Apple computer or something that is Windows based?

Curve 8330 Shows full charge using USB Cable on Desktop, but isn't fully charged.

I have an issue with my 8330 and Charging. I plug it into the computer using the supplied USB Cable to download/ upload media while it charges using my desktop. Last night it indicated it was fully charged, so after downloading some things onto it, I shut it down and disconnected it from the desktop.
This morning I got to work and turned it on and the battery life indicator on the home screen showed it was 3/4 charged. The time on the clock was off also and I had to go in and update the time in the settings tab. When I returned to the home screen from updating the time, the battery indicator showed half full. This is the second incident where after charging the phone either on the USB Cable connection or the wall charger, I've turned it on the next morning only to have half a charge or a little more. Any information on this would be helpful. Thanks!
Brian

Try Restoring it (this will remove all data from the iPod), resync, use it until the battery is low, and then fully charge it. And make sure your Dell is set to provide full power to USB ports.

N97 mini charging from flat using PC USB

Had quite an interesting experience:
My N97 mini was completely flat (battery).
When I try to charge it using my PC's USB port, the PC will try and identify it as a flash drive, but it will then bomb out - this is an endless cycle (the sound Windows makes when adding USB Flash drive and then removing it).
Using different USB ports has the same result. I am not sure whether charging occurs, but after 10min or so I am still unable to switch the phone on.
So I went to the device manager and I can see it reloading each time the N97 tries to register as a USB device. Then I went and looked at which port the N97 is connected to (open each USB root hub and look at the Power tab - ie refresh each time the new device found sound is played from Windows - the USB hub that will be connected to the phone will be indicated by "nokia usb flashing parent"). By disabling the applicable hub, the phone actually showed the Nokia logo on a white screen with the battery life indicator (non charging).
When I then re-enabled the USB Root Hub, the display remained on the phone and it started charging.
Without disabling the hub the phone would just continue to endlessly find and then discard the "flash drive".
I was using Windows XP SP3.
Nokia OVIsuite 2.2.0.241
I did manually terminate any Nokia processes prior to disabling the USB Root Hub (not sure how many tried to rerun again).
Finally it is charging again. Wasn't too keen on what happened, because I don't carry the charger with me when travelling abroad.
Hope someone finds this usefull.
Ciao

Hi all.
Went to bed with 5 bars of battery, woke up with a dead phone. Now I'm at work trying to charge via USB, but the screen won't light up. It'll buzz when I press the on button but nothing else happens. The little light beside the N97 Mini's USB port is on OK. My PC doesn't recognise the phone as a drive or anything.
Is it charging at all? Is my phone just dead and this isn't a battery problem?:-(
Thanks!

Transferring old photos from Ipad to Imac using usb cable or local wifi?

Can anyone tell me how I transfer old photos from Ipad to Imac? These were originally on a PC (now disposed of). I can see how to transfer new photos from Camera Roll using Iphoto, but my 10 year archive with 1000s of photos appears stuck on my Ipad. I have a very slow internet connection, so I can't send them across by email and would like a solution involving the usb cable if possible.
Worryingly this question appears several times in old threads but appears to be unanswered, but I will be pleased to be referred to the right thread with all the answers - if it exists!
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.

Connect the iPad (USB) to your Mac then launch the Image Capture app. It's located in your Applications folder.
You can import photos from the iPad using that application.
You can even designate where you want to the photos stored on your Mac and which app you want to use for editing from the bottom of the Image Capture window.
