Charging ipod on different OS

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows if there will be trouble if I try to use my work computer usb (windows) to charge my ipod, which runs with Mac OS?
When I did this with my old ipod, there would be file corruption issues later on, but since it was in a long process of failing, I don't know if it was just a coincidence.
Any thoughts?

Under normal circumstances, if you connect the iPod then use Windows to eject it (but leave the iPod connected by the usb cable) it will charge.
However, one problem you may come across is that Windows cannot recognize a Mac formatted iPod so there may be no option to eject the iPod via "my computer" since it doesn't appear there.
I don't see any reason why the iPod should become corrupted in any event.

My iPhone 4 will not charge, have used different chargers, cables, and docks, also a hard reboot is not working, what do I do now?

Ok so I woke up this morning and found that my iPhone 4 was 2% and about to die even though I had left it on the charger over night. Also, you may want to know that the charging icon does appear over the battery, it just won't actually charge. So I plugged it into my husbands charger which is an apple charger plugged into the wall. This had the same result. So we have some docking stations that simultaneously charge while they play your ipod, 3 different docking stations ended in the exact same result, a icon but no charge.
Next my husband did a hard reboot by holding down both the top button and the home button until the system turned off and rebooted. We tried charging after this will the exact same result. My phone has now died. Can someone please give me some idea of what to do next, just saying take it to the apple or AT&T store seems like the obvious answer, but are our options really so limited?
Also note that we have checked the bottom of the phone on the charging port and it is clean and to the eye unbroken.

yes, your option is as limited as getting it into the hands of an apple store employee (or if you have to ship it.. if there is not a store close by)
My wife's old 3G had this problem, it is a battery issue. They replaced my wife's iphone within a day, but I'm not confident any amount of user troubleshooting will fix your problem

Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt. You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts. Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

MacBook doesn't charge iPod shuffle

The only way to charge iPod Shuffle is by connecting it via USB port to your computer. So I wonder why on earth my MacBook is not capable to charge it while it is shut down let alone when it is put to sleep! If a battery can be charged in aforementioned situations so should the iPod Shuffle.
where can I report such incompatibility or where can I put a suggestion for Apple people to work it out?

Did you download any programmes like
caffeine to prevent your macbook from sleeping after
the display has been closed?
No. It gives every indication that it is sleeping normally: pulsing front light, becomes cool to the touch, wakes when lid opened or key pressed, doesn't do anything strange when awakened. I also haven't used pmset to change the sleep setting from default; it pauses before the sleep light pulsates as if it's writing the sleep image to disk.
As a matter of fact, it continues to provide power with two different pads. The cheap inline switch on the pad failed and I had it replaced under warranty. The second unit has the same behavior.

Sales order charge to several different GL account instead of to customer

Hi Guru,
We have a process that need to create a sales order and charge to three different GL account instead of charging to a customer.
The following details the situation:
In regular sales order:
Debit customer $1000
Credit Sales $1000
In this business process, we need to
Debit (to GL accounts instead of customer but split as follows)
GL 1234 $500
GL 4567 $300
GL 7890 $200
Credit
GL 6688 $500
GL 8989 $300
GL 5231 $200
We set up the system to use the cash sales process so that instead of debiting to a customer account, it is debiting to a GL account. However, SAP sums up the debit to $1000 and is posted to the first GL account.
Is there a way that we can split the debit??

Hi
I came to this kind of process in construction industry with some other SAP ERP
there i managed to enter debit line items in the documents
Please check wether this is possible in R/3

Multiple iPods with different libraries for each?

Hi all, how do I set up iTunes so that I can sync up different iTunes libraries with different iPods? I have two iPods with different music on each and want to keep the libraries separate. (One is from an older computer.) The only option I see when plugging in the older iPod is "do you want to rease this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?" Yikes, no.
I'm using iTunes 9.
thanks,
Scott

It seems that you would just create your two separate libraries for the two iPods, library A for iPod A and B for B. Then, either don't connect iPod A to the computer when you have library B open or vice versa, but if you do, just select not to sync when the prompt appears.
Alternatively, elect to manually manage the iPods.

1 iTunes, 2 ipods, 2 different music tastes

My daughter and I have very different music tastes but it appears that we can only use 1 iTunes and therefore 1 Library file. How do we manage the library file for 2 music tastes, other than to uncheck the songs we don't want on our ipods each time? Please help.
Dell Windows XP ipod minis

there are basically two ways of using multiple iPods on a computer and these involve:
a) Sharing a single iTunes library and or user account or
b) Creating multiple user accounts.
Sharing a Library and/or User Account
If you want to share the one library, you can set either or all of the iPods so that they only get updated with only certain playlists (you can update from more than one if you wish):
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for the iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used some other time if you choose. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Or you can choose to update any or all of the iPods manually and just drag whatever content you want to them: Managing content manually on iPod
Loading the iPod shuffle differs slightly but it can still be used with the others, for details have a look at this page:
Loading songs onto iPod shuffle - Windows
It's also possible to have multiple libraries in a single account. To create or access a second (or more) library, hold down the Option key (or Shift key in Windows) when launching iTunes 7. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to the other Library.
Note: You can only have one Library open at a time and iTunes will default to the last library opened if you don't use the keyboard command to choose one. This can prove tricky when using multiple iPods, if you don't use the keyboard command you can risk syncing to the wrong library:
Using multiple iTunes libraries -Windows
Separate User Accounts
Another option is to create a separate User account for each person on your PC or Mac. Different accounts by definition would give you completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one. The iPod can be set to update however the owner chooses, sync all, manual or sync specific playlists
I don't use Windows so I can't give you a step by step on that one, however I can point you to another web page which should help you out. You can read about Windows user accounts here:

Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)

http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Charger-Detachable-ETA0S20JBE-ECC1DS2UBE/dp/B004R0 5W1G
My biggest concern is that it will fry the circuitry. I don't know what the Amp output is on the Mac-branded wall charger, but I think that USB 2.0 usually only goes up to 0.5A.

Quick answer is: You can if it works, but it is not recommended.
Hope this helps.

Charging iPod with accessories?

It seems my new iPod Nano only charges via my pc connection (USB). When I connect it to my car/radio adapter and/or bose docking station, I get a message that says 'accessory does not support charging'..
Why is this? Must I purchase a special adapter? My older (much older) ipod charged just fine in accessories.??..

Don't know why that site would give you problems, that is the manufacturers site and I get not popups, warnings or anything when going there. Perhaps a problem on your computer? You can also buy the adapter at the Apple Store.
Many older accessories continued to charge iPods through the Firewire pin (number 29 on the dock in case you are interested) even though Apple discontinued FW file transfer with the demise of the iPod mini, which is a few years ago. Succeeding iPods could be charged through the 5V USB pin or the FW pin up until the latest batch of iPods/iPhone which repurposed the pins on the dock connector and no longer include circuits for FW charging. Supposedly Apple informed licensed accessory makers that this would occur more than two years ago.

Using Airport Express to charge iPod?

So I plug it into the wall and use the USB cable to hook it up to the iPod... yet there is no charge. From what I've read online, older versions of the APE were able to charge iPods. Has Apple changed something so that they no longer charge, or do I have a defective unit?
Thanks.

+do I have a defective unit?+
don't think so. i can't even get my USB light such as this going. the AE works perfectly, though

HT1476 Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

5volt 1amp charger is standard for charging the iPod (5watts). Using a USB port can take longer because the charging current can be somewhat less than 1amp. So you are better off using the wall charger.
