Direction on safe power adapters for iPods from US to Travel in France

Hello, I searched other topics found the Apple power adapter plug for the ipod discussesd this topic (which I do already have), but it did not SPECIFICALLY say that it will convert from US (110v) to Euro - France (220) volt. All the instructions from available power adapters (non-Apple) specifically say 'not for use with stereo or musical equipment.'
Help ! Can I just plug in my Apple ipod power adapter INTO a standard 110v to 220v converter and not worry about problems? Do I need to look for a special voltage adapter that works between certain amps or voltage ranges?
Best Buy, Radio Shack, Travel Smith and Sharper Image were NO help.

hiya!
but it did not SPECIFICALLY say that it will convert from US (110v) to Euro - France (220) volt.
the accepted input power range is given in the "About the Apple iPod Power Adapter's Voltage Requirements" section in this document:
iPod: About the Apple iPod Power Adapter
... and there's info on the World Travel Adapter Kit given in the "Charging iPod around the World" section in this document:

What type of adapter/ converter would I purchase from Apple if traveling to France? Does Apple even offer one?

The power supplies used by Apple can be used with any line voltage between 100 and 240 volts so you done need any changes there.
What you will need is pin adapters because the European socket require different shaped pins. You can get the pins adapters at any hardware store quite inexpensively.

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.

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:

Is it possible to use the firewire power adapter for ipod to charge an Ipad

There is information everywhere that the Ipad doesn't charge with low power adapters.
The first power adapter I received with my first Ipod was the firewire power adapter and it allows intensities even higher than the 10 W Ipad adapter.
Could this old adapter be used with Ipad
Model n. A1070 output 12V 6.7 A if I believe what is written on it.

You should only use a USB-type charger for the ipad. Any other charger is risking damage to the ipad.
The ipad uses 5Volts at 2 amps for best charging. This is why it came with the wall charger.
You can charge it with any 5 Volt USB charger as long as the output amps is approximately 1 amp or more. If the amps rating on the charger is less than 2 amps, it will charge slower, but it is safe. The ipad will only draw the current it requires, but any voltage higher than 5 volts is risking damage to the ipad.
Hope this helps.

Alternative power adapters for the X220

As posted in other threads, there are problems using the "native" Lenovo power adapters with the X220:
- The 65W adapter does not supply enough power, which causes reduced performance.
- The 90W adapter is big and heavy.
- The Ultraslim 90W adapter causes erratic touchpad behaviour.
bender957 recommended the FSP NB L90 90W adapter that, according to his experience, does not suffer from any of the issues listed above.
Unfortunately, that post and others discussing that adapter were removed from the thread they were posted to as off topic, so I created this one to host the discussion.

The SNA 95 has arrived. It's about the same size as the new 90W Dell adapters, so maybe not as small as I was hoping. The Dell adapters struggle to put out 90W without getting dangerously hot though.
The output voltage is 19.5V with no load, so only 0.5V below the rated input voltage of the x220. I've yet to encounter a laptop that can't deal with ±1V. I just can't see anyway they could design a DC-DC converter so badly that it could only take 20V.

I need to find my serial number for IPOD from itunes

Can anyone help me locate my ipod serial number from i tunes. I have been sent some infor on how to do this but I have found it confusing as i am not technical. Can you tell me step by step how to do it in simple non jargon fashion. Thanks

From an apple support page:
iTunes
Connect iPod to your computer.
When iPod appears in iTunes, select it on the left side of the iTunes window under Devices.
Click the Summary tab, and your iPod's serial number will display on screen. For iPod shuffle (1st and 2nd generation), click the Settings tab.
If your iPod is not currently connected to your computer, but has been connected to your iTunes library before, follow these instructions:
Hold down the Control key and choose Help > About iTunes (Windows) or iTunes > About iTunes (Mac).
Release the Control key.
As the iTunes and QuickTime version information scrolls, you will see the serial number of the last connected iPod as well as the last connected iPhone's serial number and IMEI.
Tips:
Hold down the Option key (Shift key in Windows) to reverse the scrolling.
Press the Space bar to pause the scrolling.
You can copy this information to the Clipboard and and paste it into a document.
In Mac OS X, choose Edit > Copy (or Command-C).
In Windows, press Control-C.
Note: In iTunes, when you view the iPod serial number, you can choose Edit > Copy to put the serial number on the Clipboard. You can then paste the serial number into an email or web page (for registration, for example).

Anyone know the required power supply for ipod shuffle???

Everyone,
I just bought a new USB power adapter. I intend to use it to charge my iPod Shuffle, butt am a little suspicious about its output voltage. I tried to look everwhere on the website and even chat with the help desk, but nothing comes up !!! Unbelievable!
Please, if you know the power voltage for the iPod shuffle, please let me know...
Thanks

The output of the IPod USB charger is 50-60HZ 5V 1.0 A
Couldn't find it any where online had to go find mine.

Aftermarket power adapters for MacBook

I travel a lot and am extremely frustrated by the lack of aftermarket power adapters to support the MacBook on long flights.
This appears to be solely a function of Apple's policy on licensing their "wonderful" power connector!
I consider it a very good reason to NOT buy MacBook computers! If I had known that Apple would restrict the availability of airplane adapters for the MacBook, and would not provide anything themselves, I would have switched back to the dark side and purchased a Wintel machine that I could run for the duration of a cross-country flight!
This is just one of the poor planning issues associated with the MacBook product release (lack of a good travel case to fit the 13" MacBook is another).
There are NO airlines that make 110 volts AC available at seats. There are two standards for 12 Volt DC among the airlines, and most of the aftermarket power adapter vendors have good support for the Wintel and the iBook or PowerBook machines... but nothing for the MacBook!

Welcome to the discusions!
Apple made a huge deal about the MasSafe adapters, so it is rather obvious that it would take a while for the aftermarket adapters to come out.
That said, there are a ton of power inverters that will allow you to plug your stock MB adapter into them and then into the power adapter on the plane. They are readily available at any place that sells PCs and run less than $40.
Don't so dramatic. It certainly is not a valid reason to not buy a MB at all. Get the inverter - problem solved.

Bluetooth adapters for ipods

Does anyone know of any bluetooth adapters that can be used with ipods? I have a shuffle and an older 40G model. I wear hearing aids and the new one I just got has a way to use bluetooth technology instead of headphones to listen to things... cell phones, MP3 players and other devices hands free/headphone free . Right now I have to use different headphones when listening to the ipod, since in the ear don't work when you already have something in the ear.... I'm guessing I need to use some sort of adapter in order to make the ipod work with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm guessing this something that someone needs to create? It would be a great help to those of us who wear hearing aids.
Thanks for any help you can offer?

radioshack has a bluetooth adapter for ipods. its $79 it plugs into the dock of the ipod. i dont think they have one for the shuffle though.

Belkin Power Adapter for iPod mini

I wanted a power adapter for my mini and of course, after X'mas, every store in town was out of stock for the Apple adapter. But the guy told me the Belkin Power Pack for the iPod Shuffle also works for other iPods. I bought it and thought I'd give it a whorl. But I wanted to make sure it's ok to use on my mini before I plug it into my ipod. I've done research online but I can't seem to find anything on it. So can anyone tell me if the Belkin Power Pack for the iPod Shuffle is also compatible with my iPod mini (2nd gen)? Were there any problems with using the shuffle power pack to charge the mini??
Thanks!

i think you should really post your own topic in the forums so that we can keep these threads specific to a topic and you get more attention for your topic and you should really try to post with better english next time with capitals and more than just one long sentence that is very hard to read.
