Charging/Power Support for iPod without iTunes Installed

I have an 80 GB iPod that I load and manage on my home system. Is there a way that I can plug the iPod into the USB port on a Windows laptop that does NOT have iTunes installed and listen to music already on the device? I want only the power from the laptop USB which is a corporate machine, i.e., can't put iTunes on it. I tried it and I get the "Do Not Disconnect" screen and the device is unusable.

Look on the system for new hardware found. Just eject it there and it should allow the regular screen to come up. If I remember correctly it comes up in the lower right hand side of the bar at the bottom of the windows screen.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

Can you get songs on the ipod without itunes?

like you can on ipods?
use your own music on it to save you buying every song.

like you can on ipods?
I think if you google "ipod without itunes" or "iphone without itunes" you'll get plenty of hits with interesting suggestions.
use your own music on it to save you buying every song.
Just because you use iTunes doesn't mean you have to buy every song from Apple's store. You can import your existing CDs or MP3s into iTunes without buying them again. You can use iTunes to manage your existing collection of music, and not buy any new music. (The vast majority of my music collection was ripped from CDs, not purchased from Apple's store.) Also iTunes has wonderful integration with free sources of audio content including podcasts, iTunes U, etc.
In my opinion, the main reason to get an iPod or iPhone is for the seamless integration with iTunes. If you decide you don't want to use iTunes, you probably are dealing with slightly more cumbersome music integration which is probably no better or no worse than any of the other MP3 players out there.
Reading between the lines of your original post, if you're concerned about getting locked into Apple's proprietary world when managing your music in iTunes, you consider using an industry standard format, like MP3, rather than Apple's proprietary file formats, such as AAC. Specifically, in iTunes, go to preferences, go to the "When you insert CD section", click on "Import Settings", and change from AAC to something like MP3. Not as efficient way of storing the music, but you're also not locked into Apple's file formats (and thus just Apple hardware/software). But if you expect to stay with iPods and similar Apple players, AAC is a fine format. But for those of us who play music on other players too (e.g. my TiVo), MP3 is a more flexible format.

ALTERNATIVE METHOD TO PLAY MUSIC FROM iPod without iTunes

Hey all. I'm gonna post here an alternative way to play songs/videos from your iPod on PCs/notebooks without iTunes installed.
Let's say you're at work and wanna play music from your iPod but your workplace's PC/notebook has no iTunes and installation of any programs are not allowed. Well, what you can do is:
1) Connect your iPod to the PC/notebook
2) Enable viewing of hidden items/folders by going to Folder Options, click on the 'View' tab, next click on the 'Show hidden files and folders' radio button. Click OK.
3) Go to the drive of your iPod, you should see a folder called iPod_Control.
4) Open up the folder, and you'll see a few folders called: Artwork, Device, iTunes, Music and Tones. Open up the 'Music' folder.
5) In the Music folder you'll see a few folders named Fn (where 'n' is a number). Open up any of these folders and you'll find your music files in it.
That's it. 5 easy steps to play music without iTunes. However, when you wanna upload songs to your iPod, please use iTunes. Hope you all found this useful!!

Right. Forgot to mention this part. I'm guessin' you tried this method. And obviously you've seen that the music files have weird file names like FZYA and so on. iTunes automatically changes the file names when you transfer your music to iPod. To know what are the title and artist of the songs are, right click on any blank space of the folder, View -> Details. If Details shows you nothing, click View -> Tiles. Hope that helps you all.
Dang, shoudln't have marked this post as a question..... -_-"

In israel there is an hebrew support for ipod touch 1g.

You are just talking to other users like yourself here. Nobody can possibly know the answer, and Apple itself never provides advance info on such feature additions.

Highly Annoyed: No iTunes Support for iPod Nano 5's (new) Recording Ability

Re iPod Nano 5th: does anyone else out there find it to be a p-ss-off that, now that it records videos, voice and steps (well-done!), the iTunes application gives little or no support for any of them? Clear to me: iPod WAS just a playback machine, and iTunes fed it the media, one-way only. But the Nano 5th is now a 3-part recorder, and is Apple going to change iTunes or supplement it to make it a two-way application? Disk use doesn't cut it - and often conflicts with use of the iTunes Sync button (which I use for my songs library). Cases-in-point: I've taken camera videos that I can no longer find on my iPod, even though their files are still in the iPod DCIM folder! For Voice 'memos' (great for recording just about any dialogue or talk), I have first to make sure that the playlist "Voice Memos" in my iTunes library has the same 5 recordings I have on and want to keep on my iPod before I do a manual Sync to transfer the CD songs I've just added to iTunes and want on my iPod. I have spent hours trying to establish a 'disk use' method get back a recording that's disappeared from the iPod's Recordings folder (done by iTunes without my say-so).
Because I'm new to using iPod and iTunes, I've turned to the 104-page User Guide for the Nano 5th. Is anyone else annoyed that it's upbeat language completely skirts Apple's gaping hole of incompleteness in software support for the new recording functions of Nano 5th? Is it dishonest? Pity the Apple underlings forced to write it, knowing Apple iPod execs f--ked up by failing to develop iTunes/software support in tandem with the new iPod wizardry. Back to my question: is this bugging anyone else, and do you have any insight to lend me?
McGoosteraneous ly (a stupid name for an unstupid guy)

I will check out Apple Knowledge Base though. URL is?
http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=search
*The Apple staff are unlikely to help me with "all my issues"* if they lead me thru indirect ways to manage camera videos and recordings and not thru dedicated software that Apple has overlooked to develop along with the Nano 5th.
You will not know this until you get there. If you do not want to march on down to the store then call iPod support.
"Complaining" in these forums is falling on deaf ears. Apple will not respond nor do they read these postings because these are user-to-user forums where everyday folk post questions and offer answers to each other.
If you have a problem with the way Apple has intergrated the iPod Nano with iTunes, post them on Apple's Product Feedback website.

Speakers/charging dock combo for iPod Nano?

I have a 3rd party home speaker dock, which works as a speaker, but didn't realize that the new Nanos don't let 3rd party stuff work as chargers. When the Nano is connected it says "charging is not supported with this accessory".
What are my options in terms of docks that would both charge the Nano, and work as a good set of speakers (with good volume)?

Unfortunatly Apple are not being precise nor correct in their information regarding which systems work (charges) the Ipod Nano G4 ....
There are literally hundreds if not thousands of accessories not made by Apple that claim some level of iPod compatibility. It is impossible for Apple to supply comprehensive data about which ones work with which (if any) iPods. Newer products sporting Apple's "Made for iPod" logo indicate that the manufacturer (not Apple) certifies that it meets Apple's specifications for iPod compatibility, but that does not necessarily mean it supports all features with all iPod models, especially charging the Nano 4G, & latest iPod Touch & iPhone models.
Some accessory manufacturers now specifically list which iPod models each of their products supports in product literature, at their websites, or on the packaging. If so, be sure to check for any fine print or footnotes to make sure all the features work with a particular model! If you can't find this info, your best bet is to buy a product from a vendor with a good return policy or contact the manufacturer directly & request specific, detailed compatibility info.
Note: there is a lot of confusion about the "Made for iPod" logo. To display it, a manufacturer must pay Apple a fee & sign a non-disclosure agreement to get access to the technical details that ensure compatibility with current iPods & timely notifications of changes in the specifications that might affect compatibility with future models. Apparently, notifications about the changes to the charging specs went out to participants quite some time ago, perhaps as early as 2005, but very few accessory makers have done anything about it until now. Of course, non-participants have always reverse-engineered their products for compatibility without Apple's help, so it is probable that they knew nothing until the new iPod models were on retailers' shelves.
Complicating things even more, some manufacturers market both newer & older versions of some products under the same model name, or just slightly change the model name (like with a "II" suffix).
The bottom line is "newer is better" but is in itself no guarantee that the accessory will charge the Nano 4G.

How to reset my ipod without itune

i forgot my password and i need to reset it but without itune, can i do that ? and thanks

Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
otherwise you need a computer with iTunes and an interner connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

IPod without iTunes

Is it possible to add photos, not thumbnails to an iPod 5th generation without having iTunes installed on a computer? I will be travelling and would love to have the extra storage for photos if my memory card fills up.

Enable your iPod for disk use and just drag the photos to it like you would if you were using a regular USB flash or external drive. When you get home connect your iPod and drag the photos onto your own computer: Using your iPod as a storage drive

Russian language support for iPod 10 GB (firewire) ?

Is there a Russian language support for that iPod (not iTunes, for the device itself)?
Thanks

You should ask this in the forum for that device, which is here:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=151
You should also identify your ipod more exactly if possible. Here is a chart:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61688
Then you can probably find the tech specs via Apple or Google. Here is one example (Russian not supported).

Specific Power Requirements For iPods?

+(Yes I searched, no I didn't find this information.)+
I am looking for specific power requirements for multiple iPod models; 1st-Generation iPod touch, 5th-Generation 80GB Video, 3rd & 4th-Generation iPod nano, and 2nd-Generation Shuffle, to be precise.
I am not looking for the obvious information found on the Apple site, such as charge times and USB vs. FireWire. I need more accurate data such as exact mAh and wattage input requirements for each iPod. I know I have chargers that will satisfy the needs of the nanos and 80GB but leave the 1st-Gen touch wanting and waiting for more. At the same time, I do not wish to overload the smaller iPod models like the shuffle.
I have searched Apple.com and the Apple forums as well as Google, but I cannot find this information anywhere.
Please help! I am trying to find suitable alternate power supplies such as solar, crank, and AA/AAA-battery backup sources and I want one that will work with all of my current iPods and hopefully future iPod purchases as well (to include many current iPods). Thank you!

I don't have the info you need on the iPods.
But I have an AC charger bought originally to use with another brand of mp3 player. After I got my iPod, I didn't see the point in buying another AC charger if it would work with iPod, since the company (Griffintechnology) also makes some for iPods. (Of course, I would have to switch out the USB cable to the one that works with iPod, but that's easy enough.) I couldn't find the info on their web site or on Apple's, so I emailed Griffin, and they told me it was safe to use with the iPod. So far, so good.
So I would suggest emailing the maker of the chargers you already own, to check on compatibility. I know Griffin makes them, as does DLO. As far as AA/AAA rechargers, we recently got one from www.adrenalinetechnologies.com (haven't yet used it, though) that's supposed to work with multiple iPod models, and they have multiple adapters and such for different things.

WMF Support for iPod anyone?

Hey,
Am I the only one, who would like to play wmf files with iPod?
IMHO they sound better than mp3 to my ears. I know, I know, this is very personal statement and you are free to disagree, but I'd just prefer wmf over mp3.
I am not an iPod owner yet, but I consider buying one.
Although I am impressed with iPod - the slick design, UI, etc are all unrivaled, the lack of wmf support is THE major drawback, which makes me look at other players. iPod is the only player which does NOT support wmf. I ripped most of my cd collection to wmf, so conversion to mp3 would be a pain.
Does anybody know if Apple might add support for wmf (or other formats, like flac, ape) anytime soon?
Sorry, AAC/AIFF is not an option either.
PC Windows XP Pro

if you read the tech specs for the 5g ipod link below
http://www.apple.com/ipod/specs.html
under audio support its as follows "AAC (16 to 320 Kbps), Protected AAC (from iTunes Music Store), MP3 (16 to 320 Kbps), MP3 VBR, Audible (formats 2, 3 and 4), Apple Lossless, WAV, AIFF"
THere is no WMA format suported. If you look further on video support (just as a notice) there is no WMA format supported. "H.264 video: up to 768 Kbps, 320 x 240, 30 frames per sec., Baseline Profile up to Level 1.3 with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats
MPEG-4 video: up to 2.5 mbps, 480 x 480, 30 frames per sec., Simple Profile with AAC-LC up to 160 Kbps, 48 Khz, stereo audio in .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats"
I am sure but dont know of any WMA file converter. And since you state AAC/AIFF is out of the quesiton well then see on converting the files to MP# sicne thats more universal. Why should apple ipod support for windows media files. when microsoft is so rankerous in being so proprietary on their software as well. I am sure you can find a converter and i recommend googleing for such info. But i highly doubt apple will add support for a proprietary file format that comes from a competing software company. Im not bashing jsut making a real observation. =)
