Do both of Apple Store's iPod power adaptors work with the new Touch 2G?

Hi,
Many thanks in advance for your attention.
Looking to to get an Apple USB power adaptor for the iPod Touch 2G.
In the Apple Store, two are listed, one smaller (and newer) than the other. In the newer one, the prongs are not retractable; in the larger (older) one, they are.
1. Does anyone know if the larger (and older) power adaptor works with the iPod Touch 2G USB-only interface?
2. I know that many power adaptors and speakers and car adaptor sets, etc. in the past had a combo Firewire/ USB power interface. That is why the new iPod Touch 2G (or iPhone 3G) does not charge up or power up with these speakers and chargers, etc. (Speakers such as the original Bose Sound Dock).
3. Is it true that the older (larger) power adaptor works better in all kinds of power situations (different outlets, etc. in different countries); that the older (larger) power adaptor is more travel-versatile? The Apple store perhaps notes a difference, noting that the newer power adaptor works only with USA-style outlets. I see no such note with the older adaptor.
4. Finally, does anyone know of a USB-only interface that would work with the iPod Touch 2G that is not Apple's (and perhaps not as insanely priced)?

Many thanks for further clarifying.
I don't know 100% for sure that the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch is different than the Apple USB cable for the iPod Touch 2G.
But:
I have read (somewhere) that the tiny pin connectors are different. That is why an iPod Touch 1G could be charged by (for example) a Logitech mm50 Speaker set and an iPod Touch 2G cannot.
An iPod Touch 2G can still connect to the Logitech mm50 Speaker set. It will still play and you will hear music. But it is no longer charging. And I have read of iPod Touch 2Gs getting very hot in these cradles. That can't be good for the poor iPod in the long run.
So for the Apple USB power adaptors to work, (which both came out before the iPod Touch 2G), they must have some override or blocked pin if they can work with both generations of iPod Touches.

  • Will This Creative Power Supply Work With The Apple iPod Ser

    I am going on a trip and i am incharge of mp3 players and charging unfortunately i am the only one who has a Zen and every one else has an iPod so.... will this Creative Power Adaptor Work with all/some iPods Thx wbnghiMessage Edited by wbnghi on 06--200709:36 AM

    I've never used an iPod, but don't they charge through their docks?
    I doubt if it would work- very few Mac products are designed to be compatible with PC devices.

  • HT4623 I updated my mini, but some of my apps are no longer available. One of them I purchased from the Apple store.  They are grayed out with the word "waiting" underneath the app.  Any suggestions?

    If there are multiple apps trying to download at once, only one can download at a time and the rest say "Waiting" until it is then their turn. Try this. Double tap the icon of the Waiting app, and it should resume the download.

    Another thing to try - Turn the iPad Off & then back ON.
    If that doesn't work:
    •  Log out of your iTunes store account.  Go to Settings > Store > Sign Out Then press the Home button.
    • Then press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously and don't release them when it brings up the Turn Off screen; keep holding them until the Apple logo appears.
    • After restart, the Waiting should be gone.

  • HT201077 i went to apple store because my iphone wasnt working. The guy there said he had to restore settings but i wouldnt loose my pictures in photo stream. my pictures havent appeared yet in my photo stream.Did i loose them

    I went in ti the apple store my phone wasn't working correctly. the guy said he had to reset and update phone. I asked about my pictures and he said if they were in photo stream i wouldnt loose them. they still havent appeared to my phone im worried are the pictures going to appear again.

    Photos remain in icloud's stream servers for a max of 30 days.  If they are older than that, then they are gone.
    IMPORTANT...
    Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream.  If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.

    Hi micjhal,
    Call them up! If you look on your receipt it'll indicate you have 14-days to return it (if bought at a retail store) and 30-days if bought through the online store.

    If you want to charge a touch gen 4 or less, then absolutly (It just might take a little longer than one specifically for the touch, because of watt dierences I think). I'm not sure about gen 5

    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Attempts to sync an iDevice to a new computer will remove all content from the device and replace it with content from the new, empty library.

  • The program vectorworks 2008 (not 2009) does not work with the new operating system Mavericks, which is a disaster because it forces us to change the program, and is very expensive. Apple should fix this problem

    Why should Apple fix the problem? Maybe you should consider NOT upgrading if an expensive piece of (obsolete) software you're running won't work with it...

  • Does the iPod Universal Dock work with the Apple Component AV Cable?

    I have the iPod Universal Dock (MA045G/A) and the Apple Component AV Cable (MB128LL/B)...the ones in the original black packaging.
    I had wanted to connect either my Nano 3G or my iTouch 1G to my TV, but neither would work through the docking station with the AV cable. Both did work when I tried not using the dock and connected both the Nano and the iTouch directly into the AV Cable.
    My dock works great on my Computer, and I tried a second dock (same model) that I had into the TV with the AV cable and it still did not see the connection.
    Is my particular iPod Universal Dock NOT COMPATIBLE with this Apple Component AV Cable (or for that matter, the Composite AV Cable-MB129LL/B)?
    It's not a big deal since both do work with the AV cable by itself...it's just annoying I can't use the dock...

    Are you sure it is genuine Apple cable? If you bought it on eBay or non-authorized Apple dealer it probably isn't. If it is a genuine cable, it is defective, and should be returned.
    When a working genuine Apple A/V cable is plugged into iPhone, a popup appears asking if you want to enable the TV output. Since you are not getting this popup, your cable is bad.

  • Will ipod car adapter work with the iphone??

  • Old iPod doesn't work with the newest iPod download

    I have a 20 GB iPod, model # MP102. I decided to restore it because it was not syncing well with iTunes. When I did that, I also updated my iPod software . Now it won't work at all. Sometimes I get the error 1429 message, but mostly, iTunes just tells me that the iPod is corrupted and should be restored, which I've done 8 times now. I'm thinking that my iPod is so old that the newer iPod software messed it up. Is that right? Does anyone have any ideas about what might be the problem. It worked fine yesterday.
    P.S. I even put the iPod into disk mode and tried to restore it that way, and that didn't work either.

    Thanks, I've actually done that several times now--holding down menu and select. It hasn't worked. I also took it to my local Apple store and learned that all they'll do is replace the battery, which doesn't help since it works fine. They don't work on iPods in my area. I suppose I'll have to mail it in.
