Charging Voltage For iPOD

Various output voltages are provided by different manufacturers of chargers. The Apple USB power adapter provides 12 volts but my Belkin 110volt adapter provides only 5 volts. Does anyone know what the iPOD input charging voltage tolerances are? What voltage is provided by an iMAC or Powerbook through the USB cable?

iPod requires only 5 volts to charge.
Do not try using the higher voltages as this may damage (probably will damage) your iPod.

  • What is the optimum charge voltage for IPOD Touch latest version?

    Genuine Apple Chargers have either 5V, 10V or in some cases 12V for IPODs/IPADS; what is the optimum charge voltages for IPODs and IPADs?

    All the newer iPods, all iPod touches, all iPhones and all iPads use the USB voltage which is 5V DC. Some chargers say 5.1 V.
    Old iPods use FireWire charging which is 12 V DC

  • What is the charging voltage for an iPod Classic?

    I have just bought a solar charger made by Powerbee for my iPod. It offers three voltage choices:- 5 volt, 5.5 volt and 9.5 volt. I thing the ipod is 5 volt but could someone confirm this please, I can't find it in the tech specs.
    Thanks

  • Charging problem for Ipod Shuffle 3rd generation

    Hi all,
    What is the average hours to fully charge my Ipod shuffle 3rd generation using USB cable and connect to my computer?
    I have using this method for charging 2 days each times more than 3 hours but still showing orange blinking light.
    Could you tell me what is the resolution.
    Thanks in advance.

    It's eject (not "reject").  It's the command for iTunes to unmount the iPod disk from the system, so that you can disconnect the iPod physically (without causing data errors).  On an iPod with a screen, the iPod's screen says "Do not disconnect."  On a shuffle, since it has no screen, the warning is the blinking amber light.  When it's blinking, do not disconnect until it become solid.
    In iTunes, the eject button looks like a triangle with a line below it.  It is located next to the iPod's name, to the right.  What happens to the iPod in iTunes, after you click the eject button?  You say it "does not respond," but are you still able to access the iPod after clicking the eject button?
    Another way to eject the iPod is using Windows Explorer or Finder on a Mac.  Right-click on the iPod's disk icon, and select the command to "eject" it?  On a Mac, it says "Eject [name of iPod's disk]."  I'm not sure about the exact wording in Windows.

  • IPad charger used for iPod Touch, now won't charge iPad

    Hello everyone! I need help. :( This is what happened. i charged my iPod Touch with the charger that came with my iPad 2 and the iPod charged okay. Now I connected the charger to my iPad and there was no response at all (no charging or not charging sign).
    This is the second time this happened. The first time was when my aunt used the iPad charger for her iPhone 4 which charged okay. When I used it for my iPad after, it did not work as in now. What I did the first time was connect the charger's detachable head (see image http://www.thefonestuff.com/product_images/c/441/MB706_AV1__57136_zoom.jpg) to a Macbook charger. The Macbook charged okay and when I reconnected it to my iPad, the iPad began to charge as usual.
    I don't understand what happened. Was the charger somewhat "inactivated" in both instances because it was connected to a device that required a different amount of power? Without the Macbook charger, how can I "restore" the charger to its "iPad-optimized" state?
    Thank you for your reply!

    Icedgreco-
    Changing the detachable head and changing it back, might wiggle an internal connection that is loose inside either the charger or the head.
    It is also possible your charger cable has a bad connection.  Either way, I think you need to contact Apple about it.

  • Correct charger voltage for my presario cq56-112sa

    Seem to only be able to find 19v chargers when I submit correct part number for my laptop which has a 10.8v battery rated at 65w charging. can you advise please?

    Hi,
    The batteries may be 10v to 11v but nearly all chargers are from 18v to 19v. Please check the bottom of your old charger, you should see 19v and 3.42A  (ie 65W) or 19w & 4.73A (ie 90W).
    Regards.

  • Is the charger adapter for ipods the same for all generations?

    I have a nano 1st generation that came with a usb cable and I bought a charger (long time ago). So, will i have to buy a new charger if i want to buy an itouch 5? Thank you.

    I know the cables are not interchangeable, but how about the charger? I think the part that goes into the pc/laptop should be universal, thus it should well work with the usb power adapter, right? I have found out here that it is compatible:   http://http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter

  • HT1476 if i bought my ipod touch 32gb in germany where the voltage is 220v and i live in America where the voltage is 110, i will have to wait to get to my home to charge it for first time or I can charge it here and change the voltage of the battery in A

    if i bought my ipod touch 32gb in germany where the voltage is 220v and i live in America where the voltage is 110, i will have to wait to get to my home to charge it for first time or I can charge it here and change the voltage of the battery in America?
    please i need help, im worried that if I connect my ipod here, it will burn or sometihng bad.

    Just connect it to a computer's USB port.
    Most wall chargers are dual voltage (110- 220 volts) and only require a plug adopter. Check the wall charger to see if yours is.

  • Using wall charger from mini for ipod touch

  • Can someone please tell me why when I order an Itunes app. , do I always get charged twice for the same thing.  It has happened on two different occasions.  Does it have anything to do with having 2 different ipods linked to the same account?

    Can someone please tell me why when  i order an app on my sons ipod, do I get charged twice for it?   When I tried do report a problem with the charge, it said that I can not get a refund on that item.   This is the second time this has happened to me.   Does it have anything to do with having more then one ipod linked to the same account?   Thanks for any help you can give me!!!

    It has nothing to do with have more than one device using that account.
    After you purchase it once, you redownload it on other devices by the following, not like purchasing a new app.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you really got charged twice for purchases the same app twice with the same account contact iTunes again by:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    Make sure that they are really the same app first.

  • Portable power charger for ipod touch/classic

    I found this online; http://www.sourcingmap.com/black-travel-charger-pack-for-apple-iphone-ipod-p-405 93.html
    & again on another website; http://www.uxsight.com/product/36886/black-travel-charger-pack-for-apple-iphone- ipod.html
    what does anyone think to these? I am looking for a charger that is compact, as most AC power adapters are squarish shaped & too bulky to carry in a little kit.
    has anyone used one of these? are they reusable? or are they meant for a one time emergency charge? where do they get their power from to charge the ipod? are they worth the $17.00 odd dollars? would they work for my ipod touch 2and gen 8 gb, & my 160gb 6th gen ipod classic?

    They come with a cable that connects to a charger, this device is in essence a spare battery. You have to charge it from the wall.
    I prefer this one as a wall charger:

  • 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.

  • Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When connected to my PC to charge it, the light blinks yellow. I took it in to a local Apple repair shop- the gentleman charged it for me

    Have an ipod shuffle (about 3-4yrs old)- is it possible that it will no longer hold a charge? When I put in on my PC the yellow light flashes. I took it to an Apple repair store on Monday and the gentleman there charged it for me...and it fully charged. On wednesday I turned it on- no green light...
    He said the yellow light should not be blinking when charging...what am I doing wrong???

  • My charger broke so I gave my sister the charger, and my iPod touch for proof. She took it to the apple store and traded it for an iPhone 5c. I was wondering if apple can do something for me so I could get my ipod back?

    I have no idea what you meant by giving your sister your "iPod touch for proof". Proof of what?
    The only way she could have traded it was recycling it for 10% off the cost of a new device but the Apple Store doesn't do this as far as I know for iPhones. You could take the receipt for your iPhone to the Apple Store and show it to the manager but you really need to solve this within your family.

  • I 'm a novice..if i downloaded a free siriusxm radio app for ipod touch,are there any charges i.e. data etc.?

    i'm a novice..if i downloaded a free siriusxm radio app for ipod touch,are there any charges i.e. data etc.? or is it free

    You have to have the special SiriusXM account for listening and you must have a regular SiriusXM subscription. Cost is around $15.00 per month. The Live365 app only requires a $7.95 per month subscription and provides much more than SiriusXM.
