Charging Shuffle 3G using A Wall Charger

my shuffle 3G can be charge using a PC. But when using regular USB wall charger it is not showing the light to indicate the Ipod is being charging! So I bought following charger from ebay!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120671316940?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m143 9.l2649
But the result is same!
Is shuffle 3G need data signal from PC to charge?
(I'm using the USB cable which comes with shuffle)

No, there is no need for a data signal to charge an iPod. However, the quality of ultra-cheap items from eBay can be questionable. $1.98? How good could it be? It is likely that the item you bought does not provide sufficient power, or is otherwise faulty.
Apple just announced the "USB Power Adapter Takeback Program" to provide customers of Apple devices with high-quality power adapters for a reasonable price ($10). Details here
http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/
You may want to take that one from eBay and exchange it for an official Apple USB power adapter (on or after 8/16).

My sister has the same ipod as me and has no problems charging hers on our computer. Please Help me!!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Using USB Wall Outlet to Charge iPad

I was wondering if any harm can be cause by using a reputable brand USB wall charger. In other words, instead of using the 10 watt Apple charging brick with the lightening cable, using the lightening cable and plugging it directly into the USB wall charger (i.e., bypassing the Apple charging brick). It seems like it may charge faster using the wall outlet directly, but wouldn't want to risk charing the iPad in this manner if potential harm could be cause.

You should have no issue if you stick with reputable company like Skydiver119 mentions. Also, be sure that the aftermarket charger is rated for the same output (look at the watts ratings here) as the Apple charger or higher.
It's also worth noting that using an aftermarket charger of the same wattage output as the Apple charger likely will not charge the device any faster or slower. Certainly not anything you'd notice.
Also, moving to a higher wattage charger (10 watt vs 12 watt) is fine but don't expect any noticeable vast increase in charging speed...I supposed you'd notice if you did a timed test between the two but otherwise, don't expect miracles.

I have a ipod nano 4th gen. and it wont connect to my computer at all and I tryed to reset it but its been 10 minutes and iit wont go back to normal. It is charging fine when I use the wall plug. I need help!

I have a ipod 4th gen and it wont connect to my windows computer at all. I've tryed to reset it but its been 10 min and it wont go back to normal. I use the wall plug in to charge it. also it wont charge on my computer but other wise it works fine. I need help!

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

HT4060 My iPad wont charge at all. I'm using a wall charger and nothing shows up by the percentage.

My iPad2 will not charge all of a sudden I don't know why. I'm using a wall charger and the battery symbol doesn't show up as being charged.

Could be the cable, charger or iPad. Plug the cable into your computer, if it says not charging, the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Does anyone know if i can use the wall charger from my ipad 3 on the new ipod 5 touch, does anyone know if i can use the wall charger from my ipad 3 on the new ipod 5 touch

Plan on buying my first ipod touch whe its finally available. Does anyone know if you can use the wall ccharger from an iPad 3 for it. Thanks

Well all I can say it would have been nice if apple included the charger for the price these things cost. Sometimes you just don't have access to a computer to charge it. I'm OK because I have the iPad charger but I still think its a cheap move on their behalf not including one.

Why wont my 4th generation ipod touch charge using a wall or car adaptor.

I recently received a brand new 8gb 4th generation ipod touch for christmas. It used to work fine and charge fine. Now it can only be charged in a computer. I have tried multiple adapters and charger cables and nothing works. It has nothing wrong with it other then this problem, no screen cracks, and everything else works fine. In comparison, my old 2nd generation ipod touch has a cracked screen and cant play music because the headphone jack is busted, and can still be charged just fine using a wall socket, car, or computer. I have restored it twice now to no avail. It is updated to most recent software as well. Please help me.

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod then it appears you have a hardware problem. Look carefully at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, broken or cracked plastic pieces.
An appountment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store would be in order.

Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...

When streaming is it better to use the wall outlet for source of power or will that eventually drain the battery?

Best to use wall power to keep the battery from draining. You can do either of course but will have a limited time on battery.

How do I format my 3rd gen iPod Shuffle to use HFS format?

How do I format my 3rd gen iPod Shuffle to use HFS format?
I tried restoring from iTunes and I did not see any option to format it in HFS. After restore, the iPod is still using FAT32. I used the Disk Utility in 10.6.2 to format it in HFS. But, iTunes told me that I cannot use the iPod and forced me to do a restore, which formatted my iPod back in FAT32.
Is HFS not supported any more? I really do not like to use FAT32.
Thanks for your help.

iPods do not get infected.
Even if it did, plugging an "infected" iPod into a Mac would have no affect on the Mac.
I expected support for HFS+.
Bummer.
Previous generation shuffles did have that support.
All iPod shuffles have only been FAT32 as formatted by iTunes.
You can format them as HFS+ using Disk Utility and use them as a thumb drive but they will not work as an iPod until you Restore them in iTunes (to FAT32).

Can Shuffle be used on a computer not connected to the Internet

Can Shuffle be used on a computer not connected to the Internet. I have access to an Internet connected computer to register but I would like to manipulate and recharge on a machine that is not connected. Thanks for any help you can provide.

As long as you aren't trying to update/restore it the Shuffle will work on a computer with no Internet access.
