Charging with Dock/Firewire cable

I know that the nano comes with a dock/usb cable and USB is required for syncing the nano. If I don't want to purchase the usb wall adapter for charging when I travel, can I use a dock/firewire cable and firewire wall charger that I already have?
Thanks!

The nano doesn't actually come with a dock, just an adapter for future third-party accessories with a dock connector.
Anyway, yes, your existing dock and firewire cable will work fine for charging. I use this approach at work to charge mine and it's no problem at all. The nano is light enough that it can just sit on the dock connector even though it doesn't fit firmly into the space in the dock.

Hello,
You need to put the Tiger Install Disc in the 2011 iMac, boot the 2011 uMac into Target mode...

Boot the G4 holding the Option or alt key, hopefully the Install Disc in the 2011 iMac will show as a boot choice.
We just want to use the 2011 iMac as a big expensive FW Optical drive, it cannot be installed osing the 2011 iMac itself.

Xperia z3 compact charge with dock dk48 is slow !

I use Ampere application to check amperage when xperia z3 compact charge with dock dk48 (I always charge on 15%)I see :from 15% to 89% so amperage 800mA-900mAfrom 90% to 100% so amperage 150mA-250mAand finally pin full charge 100% need 3 hours 10 minutesIt is slowand my question is : If I use dock dk48 to charge, it really does safe for my z3 compact ?????????

They should be equal, as long as the phone isn't used more when in the dock, which would make the charging slower.

Only ipod mini can be charged with supplied usb cable? ..Really?

I just read in fine print in an obscure part of support site that only the ipod mini can be charged with the "supplied" cable? Is this true? No, come on really? But, I...I,I,I just paid 500 clams for the top of the line shiznit and it doesn't come with any kind of charger? Is apple gonna send me back to the store? No way,I thought apple was down for the little guy...I gotta go buy an A/C charger? 30 more duckets?

welcome to the forums!
your ipod doesnt need a power ac cable. Every time you connect ur ipod to your pc, it should start charging the batterie auto matically. Just leave your pc on all night long with the ipod connected, and in the morning your good to go!

Is it OK to charge the ipod battery with a firewire cable?

I find I can connect my 60GB black ipod photo/video via a firewire cable to an electric plug that came with a prior ipod and plug it into an outlet to charge it.
But is this OK to do or can it cause some problem with the ipod?
5th gen. iPod Mac OS X (10.4.3)

It's ok and works fine.

Using G5 iPod Video with older Firewire cable

I have an older iPod, the 15GB model that used the Firewire cable with the dock connector, but I just purchased a new 60GB iPod Video. It comes with an USB cable and not a firewire one, but I already have the power brick and stuff that uses my Firewire cable. Can I use my older cable with my new iPod Video eventhough it warns me when I plug it in?

You can use the firewire cable to charge the new iPod, but you can't use it to sync content onto your new iPod.
The power brick with firewire cable will charge the new iPod without any problems at all.

Connecting a MacBook to PowerMac G5 with a firewire cable

I have a 13" MacBook. I want to transfer files from my PowerMac G5 running OS X 10.4.11 to it. I can hook an external drive to the MacBook via firewire and it recognizes it. I can hook up the PowerMac and the MacBook via firewire, start the MacBook with the T key depressed and see the hard drive on my PowerMac. But... I can't do the reverse. I can start up the MacBook with the T key depressed and see the G5's hard drive on it.
Any suggestions?

Are you using the same cable to connect the machines?
Some folks suggest to shut both machines down, then connect the Firewire cable. Boot the Power Mac into Target Disc mode. Once you see the FireWire symbol on the PowerMac's screen, try booting the MacBook.
Once the MacBook has started & you're logged in, check for the hard drive in Finder. If it doesn't appear, open System Profiler (Applications>Utilities), and click Firewire in the left-hand column. Are any devices showing here?

Where is the phone number on the iPod?
If you have an iPhone with iOS and use the same ID for Messages and FaceTime as on the iPod the iPhone's phone number will be listed for Messages and FaceTime on the iPod.
If you changed phone numbers on the iPhone, sign out of Messages and FaceTime and then sing back in. Then do the same a little while later on the iPod.
For some info see:
iOS: About Messages

HT1476 My iPod touch won't charge with the USB cable.

For some reason my iPod touch (4th gen) will not charge when I plug it in with my USB cable in my pc. No symbol on the front, nothing. Any ideas?
Thanks or any help. Oh yeah, the pc CAN sense the device, it shows up on iTunes.

IPad retina stopped charging with old lightning cable

I have been hearing that iPads will only charge with Apple approved chargers and cables. Well, after the most receive iOS update, iPad and iPhone 5S have stopped charing with Apple lightning cable that came with an iPad 4th Gen. Anyone else seeing this?

Thank you for the fast reply.
The "rest of the story" is that the same problem persists with two of the older cables while the one that came with the iPadRet works well. The old cables are not charging using USB ports on a MBPro nor with the wall warts that came with the cables / iPads. How strange.
Yes, the cables may be bad. I'll test them when I get home. It is odd that the two cables stopped working immediately after the iOS updates. How's that for coincidence!

Connecting two iMac with a Firewire cable

Hello. First off, I have two iMac, one is a 24" early 2009 model (from now on, the "big") andthe other is a 21" first generation Intel (from now on, the "small")
Big one is sick, need heavy reparation. So a user of the forum recommended this:
"+Since you're able to post here, you have another Mac. You can use a FireWire cable to connect your iMac to another Mac in Target Disk Mode. This essentially turns your iMac into an expensive external HD enclosure. To boot your iMac into Target Disk Mode, start up your iMac and hold down the T key immediately after you hear the startup sound. Release it when you see the big FireWire symbol on the screen.+
+Then you can use a FireWire cable to connect your iMac to another Mac. This should mount the iMac's hard disk on the desktop of the other Mac. I suggest you use DiskWarrior to try to recover the files on your iMac's hard disk.+"
So, mi issue is that big one doesn't have a Firewire port. It's almost unbelievable but the true is that those models never came with that kind of port.
Any idea of what kind of cable should I use to link both computers? Thanks in advance!

Hi killthepixel
Both have FireWire Ports, the problem is that the Early 09 has a FireWire 800 port and the other if it's an Early white 20" has two FireWire 400 ports.
If that is the case, then you would need a 6 to 9 pin FireWire cable to connect the two systems up in Target Disk Mode.

Below is the Apple Support Article for Firewire target disk mode.

Lastly have you tried to boot and fix the sick iMac using the Install Disk that came with it.

TV out with Dock and Cable stopped working

Hi,
I'm using the Apple Component AV Cable + Apple Universal Dock to connect to my TV and it used to work fine but recently it simply stopped working. If I connect the iPod straight to the Component cable it's all fine but it doesn't work if I connect it to the Dock (but it does charge it through the dock).
Any ideas what could be wrong with the Dock and/or how to fix it?

Update
When I woke up system after being away for a little while, everything is now working as it always has.
Any thoughts on why this could be happening?

W520 only charges with docking station wall plug does not work

I have experienced this problem twice and am very confused about why it is occuring.
I usually use my W520 laptop on a docking station and when I am at home or travelling I keep it powered by with a wall adapter. So at work it stays charged and operating from the docking station (i.e. ports on the bottom of the laptop). When I am at home it stays charged by pulling it in using the Lenovo (170W power adapter).
Last year I was in China working and all of a sudden my laptop would no longer charge and would shutdown when the battery died) with the wall adapter. I ended up buying a docking station and managed to keep it charged and operating that way. Obtaining any type of warranty service in China was a major pain but the problem was diagnosed to be an issue with my motherboard. I returned to Canada and had my computer replaced (computer was about 3 months old).
Now I am back in Canada and have the same problem with my new replacement laptop. I am puzzled why this keeps happening. Has this occured with anyone else? Is the plug on the W520 not very good quality? Any thoughts or suggestions will be super appreciated.

Thanks for the reply. Actually everyone always thinks it is a problem with the power adapter cable but the cable I am using is the same one for my dock. I only had one cable for my dock and when I am travelling unpug it and use it when I am on the road.
Last time in China they took apart my computer and confirmed (I was watching them as they used the voltmeter) that power and proper voltgage was coming into my computer from the plug and all the way to the board (ie checking every interface along the way). Yet it was not charging the battery or providing power to run the computer. The only way to solv the problem was to use a dock. Only thing I could think of is that maybe something on the bottomdock connector is messed up and hence the computer believes it is connected to the dock and hence not wanting to provide power via the power adapter at the same time to avoid shorting out the board. Any thoughts?
