Do I have to use the Apple Power Adapter specifically to charge my iPod nano without using my laptop?

CAN I CHARGE MY IPOD NANO WITHOUT USING THE APPLE POWER ADAPTER? Can I  use any of my many usb wall charging adapters instead?

I am using my jambox wall adapter.

  • Can you use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using it as a router

    Can i use the apple time capsule as just a wireless hard drive without using  a router

    You can, but this type of configuration is not recommended or supported by Apple.
    Two cautions if you want to try this:
    1)  The Time Capsule has to be configured to "Join" your existing wireless network in this type of setup...and to do that, you must know the exact type of wireless security that your network is using.
    2)  Backups are going to take twice as long. The wireless signal must travel from your computer to the wireless router and then from the wireless router back to the Time Capsule.  Two "hops"......even if the computer is located close to the Time Capsule.
    If you want to try this, we can tell you how....but with no guarantees on your results....since this is not officially supported.

    The link says nothing about the power requirements. Or the connector for power. You have not provided enough information to answer the question.
    Does the PS charge using a USB adapter? In general all devices that are charged using a USB power adapter expect between 4.5 and 5.5 volts (the USB standard). However, they have different current requirements (amps). You can always use an adapter capable of supplying more current than the device requires, but you cannot use one that supplies less. For example, an iPhone 5 requires 1 amp. However, you can use a 2 amp adapter with it.

    I don't know about that for sure, but my guess is that it won't matter.  Battery technology today is much better.   You should follow Apples battery tips here:

  • IPad WiFi 3G can't be charged using the 10W power adapter

    Hi,
    My new iPad gives me Not charging sign when I use the 10W power adapter comes with, and even I can't connect it to iTunes in my Macbook Air, windows XP, or windows7 laptops. I tried everything apple support provided but again nothing.
    So, I'm open for suggestions.

    I would try another charger and cable.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, I'd take it back to the seller for replacement.

  • 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.

  • Do I need the "Apple Mobile Devices" program with just an iPod nano

    I'm going through the list of programs on my computer (using the "Programs & Features" tool in Control Panel, on Windows7) and trying to figure out what's on here that I don't need & can safely remove.
    There's one program called "Apple Mobile Devices Support" (that's what the Control Panel utility calls it, I think it's also called "Apple Mobile Device Service") I did some google-seaching to find out what it is, and apparently it's needed in order for iTunes to connect to iDevices such as iPods & iPhones. I couldn't find a very clear explanation of it, but as far as I can tell, it might just be needed for some kinds of devices, like iOS devices. All I have is an iPod Nano, which is one of the few existing Apple devices that *isn't* iOS. I don't have an iPhone or iPad or iPod Touch, etc.
    Can I use iTunes as normal to manage my music library, download media, manage my iPod library/playlists/etc, without having the Apple Mobile Devices Support program? Or is it needed for connecting iTunes to ANY device, including a simple iPod Nano?
    (BTW I connect my iPod to my computer using a standard iPod/USB cable)

    It's a 4th generation IIRC
    Yeah, I'm pretty sure that one does need AMDS for at least something.
    (I know there's an article around somewhere which gives the precise generation at which point AMDS is used by nanos ... but I just can't remember which particular article it is. I keep finding it only by accident on those occasions when I do find the reference.)

  • Is it possible to use Nike plus on the new iPod nano without using the shoes and accessories?

    There is a fitness app included and the apple website you can use it without accessories. Which accessories are they talking about?
    Please help

    The apple website also says that you dont need anything. Is this true? Sorry anout the questions, this is the first problem I've had with apple products.
    "The built-in accelerometer in iPod nano gives you real-time feedback on your workout, and you can upload data to the Nike+ website. There’s no need to connect a receiver or use a shoe sensor to track your steps, distance, pace, and time. Just clip on iPod nano and go. In the gym, connect iPod nano to a Nike + iPod compatible cardio machine to keep track of every workout. Back at your computer, upload all your data to the Nike+ website to create personal goals, check your progress, and challenge your friends to top your results."

  • TS3212 how do i unlock my screen on my ipod nano without using itunes

    how do i unlock my ipod nano screen without using itunes?

    Sorry, but you can't. If you've forgotten the code, connecting the iPod to the computer from which you sync it or restoring the iPod are the only solutions.

  • IPad won't charge using power adapter but will charge via USB

    I have an iPad 1 that recently stopped charging using the power adapter. "Broken power adapter or cable" I thought and reached for a spare that I have. That didn't work either. The original power adapter however DID charge another iPad without any problems, so the problem cannot be with the adapter or cable.
    Now this is the wierd bit - using the original cable plugged into my laptop I get the usual "Not charging" message but the iPad DOES charge slowly this way.
    I rebooted the iPad, restarted it in recovery mode and restored the firmware, cleaned out the 30-pin connector port - all those useful bits of advice that you find on the internet but all to no avail. The iPad just will not charge using any of the many  original Apple iPad charger sthat I have been able to get my hands on but will only charge on an underpowered USB port!
    The 30-pin connector must work otherwise it wouldn't charge via USB. Can there be some kind of wierd internal hardware defect that might cause such behavior?
    I fear that if I take a 3 year old iPad to the Apple Store they might just give me their best smile and show me the latest iPads but this old iPad works fine otherwise and I don't really want to replace it.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
