Creative Zen 16GB with iPod USB wall charg

I have a wall charger my wife uses for her iPod. Can I use this to charge my Creative Zen 6GB, or will it burn it out?

It shouldn't burn it out unless there is some sort of major diviation in wiring?from the USB standard. I couldn't imagine Creative or Apple doing such a foolish thing. Best thing to probably do is to give it a try. It should either charge or not charge. All USB should be nominally 5V @400-500 mAh, the AC adapters often deli'ver higher current to enable faster charging. More current won't hurt, the player will only use what it needs.

  • Can I charge my ipod classic in Germany with the same usb wall charger I use in the USA, by plugging it directly into the correct adapter plug? Or do I need a power converter/transformer?

    I will be in Germany for a year. I want to take my ipod classic and charge it with a usb wall charger, like I do here in the USA. Can I simply use the correct wall adapter plug for Germany, or must I use a power converter/transformer in between?

    It should work as long as the prongs adapter are adapted to the outlet configuration.

  • Nexxtech USB Wall Charger compatible with Zen Vision

    I was wondering if the?Nexxtech USB Wall Charger (http://http://www.circuitcity.com/ss...oductDetail.do) would work with the Zen Vision M. I'm going on a trip this week and need a cheap wall charger (less than $20)?that I can go to the store and get it (no online orders). Thanks,
    Drake

    hey thanks for the fast reply!
    that sounds good. one more qs:
    is there a cable available that allows to sync & charge directly from player to usb without using the little dongle attachment thingy. I find it ridiculous that Creative went with a propriety connection! I don't fancy lugging that around everywhere...
    thanksMessage Edited by jayneemac on 0-2-200705:00 PM

  • USB wall charging for ipod

    Apple wall charger is too much costly so if u have an existing USB wall charger for ur camera or ur phone, use it to charge ur ipod.
    Make sure that the output ampere rating is min 1A.
    But if u have to buy one buy other makes like Phillips only for $7.
    I am using my Kodak camera charger with the OEM usb dock connector......no problrm at all.
    Save & donate for charity.

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

    Try a different charger. If the problem persists, it's the phone. This is not the typical iPhone experience and I hope you will have a good one when the issue gets resolved

  • IPod touch wall charger

    can I use a wall charger for my iPod? My uncle bought a wall charger but it's not from Apple and also can I charge my iPod if it's only in 20%?

    The iPod touch only charges via USB and therefore you need to find a USB wall charger, for instance Apple sell one.
    The reason that older chargers, docks, speakers etc don't charge the latest iPods is that they use Firewire power which is no longer supported on iPods.
    The 3rd party dock that you have is not compatible with newer iPod because of what I have described above.
    The best option is the following Apple USB charger :-

    As you can see it is fully compatible with your iPod touch.

  • Apple USB wall charger

    I have a Apple USB wall charger that says: Input 100-240v. Does that mean I can put this charger in in wall plug that is 230v and charge my iPod without having to worry about converting the voltage.

    Yes, but you will need an adapter for the plug as the plug for 230V is different than the one for 117V.

  • HT1665 USB Wall charger

    Please advise, if a USB wall charger itself should be certified by "Made for iPhone"?
    Is there any compatibility issue in case of use any USB wall charger (output: 5V / 1A), by an "iPhone" original cable (USB to lightning connector)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Shmulik

    Thankd Allan,
    The question is if Apple also mark / certify a stand alone USB wall charger (without the cable)
    with "Made for iPhone" as with other accessories?
    Thanks in advance,
    Shmulik.

  • Can I use a regular USB wall charger to charge my Sixaxis controller?

    Hi. I have a Sixaxis controller and I'm wondering if I could charge it using a USB wall charger like the ones that come with smartphones. I want to charge my controller but I have the PS3 plugged into an extension cable with my TV, set-top box and DVD player. In order to charge my controller atm I have to have all those things turned on and it's expensive and somewhat dangerous. So, can I use my phone's USB wall charger to charge my Sixaxis controller?  Thanks.

    Thanks. I just didn't want it to explode or something.

  • Creative Zen stone with speaker not recognized by Vista 32

    My creative zen stone with speaker is not recognized by computer. Downloaded starter pack and it worked, but the first time i disconnected it and connected again, the device is not in "my computer". It is listed as working properly under "safely remove hardware". Uninstalled drivers, and connected again, driver was installed and I am told the device is ready to be used, but it is still no where to be seen, and update tools etc. also does not recognize connected device.
    thank you

    Try going into "Control Panel->Administrati've tools" and clicking on "Computer Management". Find "disk management" in the left pane and click it. Your Stone should be in the right somewhere. I think you need to right click, then "choose dri've letter and paths" and give it a dri've letter with the "add" button. Let us know if that works.

  • IP4 Charging..USB to PC (MAC) vs USB Wall Charger??

    Could there be a difference in the way the battery is recharged when charging the IP4 using a USB cable connected to a USB dock, which is connected to a Mac Mini vs charging the phone using the USB wall charger?
    Couple days ago my IP4 battery drained normally, indicator went red since it was less that 20% capacity, so I plugged it into a USB cable that I had been using to charge my IP 3G. That cable goes to a USB dock connected to my Mini, my 3G always seemed to charge fine using same calbe...seems the IP4 charged ok as well...though it did seem to take longer for a full charge. I briefly used the phone that evening. When I went to bed, battery was at about 90% charged, almost full charge. Next morning, it was down below 20%. Charged it again next day using USB wall charger, used the phone more last night, but phone was close to 90% available this morning.
    I don't believe the previous evening I ran any wacky app or process that could have been running overnight, I checked that first, same few apps I normally used showed.
    So, does how the IP4 get charged, USB to PC vs USB to wall outlet make a difference in how the battery charges?

    it will take longer to charge on a computer because there is less power going to the phone thats just the way it works
    however no matter where you charge it and how long it takes to charge its not going to deplete quicker based on one source or another there must have been something that drained your battery

  • Adapter to use zen m with ipod accessori

    Does anyone know if there is an adapter out there that allows me to use my zen m with ipod accessories?Message Edited by spider4re on 0-24-200704:37 AM

    Do not under any circumstances physicly modify an iPod conection so that it will fit the Vision:m.
    As stated above the pin outs are completly different and plugging an iPod lead into a vision:m will fry the vision:m
    However it shold be technicly possible to make an adaptor lead that will suply the correct volatges etc to the vision:m from an ipod interface.

  • Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 editi

    Hello, I recently bought a Zune and then found out it wasn't compatible with my OS, XP Pro x64. I installed the software on my laptop, but it was just too troublesome to set everything up and exchange music, videos, etc. between the two machines. So I've decided to return the Zune and get a Zen instead. I'd really like to buy the ZEN 8GB, but it does not state whether or not the x64 edition is supported. The ZEN V Plus states that the software does support the OS, so if I have to get that one, I don't mind. Thanks.

    CRe: Is the Creative ZEN compatible with Windows XP Pro x64 edition?H I recently bought a Zen 8GB mp3 player. I have an xp x64 pro OS. As soon as I tried to instal the included software from the CD, a dialogue box appeared stating, "The windows operating system running on this computer is not supported by this product." I have done everything the technical assistance group has suggested with the samed result including a clean install. I did load it on my 32 bit laptop. It works fine. ONe of the problems I have found is that the correspondance goes to a different person each time and they are not reading the dialogue. I have found a way to make it work (well somewhat) with my 64 bitg machine. Oddly enough thed software for my zen V load on fine but the software is incampatable with the Zen 8GB unit. I think that there are softwarfe problems and CT is not really dealing with them.
