HT1726 Charging iPod with mains charger or dock

When Charging an iPod Classic using a mains charger or an iPod dock (on a CD midi-system), do you simply remove the iPod when it's finished or is there a safe ejecting procedure like there is when charging from your computer?
I am being cautious as my last iPod stopped working when I removed it from the computer before it'd finished ejecting. Strictly speaking the iPod screen DID already say it was safe to eject (otherwise I'd not have removed it), but the line hadn't finished going across the iPod screen.
Thank You!

Yes it is fine to use that. See Using iPad power adapters with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod - Apple Support

  • TS2634 While using my Ipod with a Sony sound dock, it randomly gives me an error message of "incompatibility."  Any ideas?

    While using my Ipod Touch with a Sony Sound dock, it randomly gives me an error message - "incompatible."  It honestly worked perfectly for an hour, then suddenly stopped being compatible?  Any ideas out there? I have:
    started, restarted.
    Plugged, unplugged.
    Tried dock with a different ipod- worked fine.
    Help!

    It's a Touch, not a phone, so not sure how to answer if it's a 4G... sorry:)
    Inspection doesn't yield anything obvious;  I've tried a soft toothbrush and air duster spray, to no avail...
    The Ipod touch does work on another device;  I'm still trying to figure out why it worked for several hours this morning, then get the message that "this device is not supported by this Ipod."   Wierd.

  • My ipod comes up with the itunes icon with it wanting to be attached to usb but I do that and my computer no longer reconises it nor does the charger or dock.

    Whats with the itunes icon and the usb wanting to be connected pictures??? My ipod won't charge or be recongnised by computer, charger or docking station. Help Please.

    - Try placing the iPod in Recovery Mode and restoring via iTunes
    - Next try DFU mode and restore.

  • IPod with dock connector is not getting charged with car charger and iTrip

    My iPod from 2003 with dock connector is not getting charged in my car by using the griffin iTrip with USB car charger. iTrip works, but not the charger. Maybe there´s not enough power output from the car charger? Only 5.0V with 400mA are coming out. iPod needs more? 12V with 1.0A?
    Does somebody have information about that problem for me?

    Has Apple dropped support for older model iPods?
    Nope. Support is still there, even back to the original 1G iPod with the wheel that actually turns. I have a 3G iPod, and it syncs just fine. There have not been any software updates for years, but the old software still works fine with the latest iTunes.
    You have to use FireWire, which you seem to be doing.
    Try putting it into Disk Mode first, then connect it.

    Does the iPod currently play music as it should?
    Do you have another docking cable (FireWire) that you can try? FireWire connectors often get worn and they no longer work, although the power connection can continue to work.
    Did you try the other FireWire port in the iMac?

  • Will one day "ipod with dock connector" be able to be charged by USB cable?

    Hi,
    this question has just popped into my mind
    a moment ago. it might be very useful if
    one day they'll grant us to be able to do that.
    but if this request seemed to be too far
    from hardware capability, i'd stop thinking
    about it.
    could anyone give me a clue? any support teams?
    Thanks,
    p/s hope i'd called my ipod right, it's the
    one with four buttons outside the wheel, and
    it is not a clickwheel one. "ipod with dock
    connector" right? :] thank you again

    Hi Kenekeu
    I just wanted to chime in and bump this thread. Although I've posted here several times about this exact problem, with no solution found yet, and no response from Apple. I tried rebooting into windows (via bootcamp) and reformatting my ipod from there. However when I downloaded the older version of the ipod updater, i was told that it was expired and a newer version was available (sigh). So I now have a windows formatted ipod that still won't connect via firewire.
    I am still able to mount and transfer songs via USB in mac OSX. Luckily I had one of those dual usb/firewire cables, which plugs into the plug charger via firewire, and into the computer via USB at the same time, so my ipod doesn't lose charge.
    Hopefully there'll be a fix soon, because this is really frustrating. I've had this ipod for a couple years, and was always proud that it lasted this long... and now this.

  • Fried My iPod with Auto Charger

    Hey,
    My car charger actually sparked at the bottom port of the iPod, and left smoky residue there (probably fried some connectors and circuits - there was actually a smoky smell). It immediately made my iTrip inoperable. Now I bought a new iTrip, but it won't work. Headphones will work on it though. Am I SOL with making another iTrip work on this thing? I'm kind of p.o.'ed, because this is my second iPod, and I'm not ready to buy another one just yet. Any suggestions on what I can do?
    Thanks.

    It sounds like you may have a damaged iPod.
    Have you tried docking the iPod to a computer? If the port is bad, you shouldn't be able to get a connection. If you can, then you may just have a partially broken port.
    In either case, there are a number of iPod repair services that could at the very least let you know if the iPod is repairable.
    And as for your car charger, I'd not use it if you can help it. Some of the 3rd party accessories are garbage, and it could be the root cause of your problem,

    By "charger," do you mean a USB power adapter that plugs into the wall outlet (used to "charge" the iPod), or are you asking about the USB docking cable that connect the iPod to the computer?

  • Charging 80 GB iPod with old accessoire

    Hello,
    Can I charge my 80 GB iPod with the firewire-adaptor I got with an old generation 3 iPod with 15 GB?

    Firewire and USB do indeed use different voltage levels, but the Firewire and USB power are on separate pins on the iPod's dock connector. So the +5V USB charging voltage goes to one pin while the Firewire voltage (+12V or higher I think) goes in through another pin. So everything is all safe using old Firewire connection devices to charge new iPods.

  • Will Apple replace an iPod with broken charging port

    My daughter has had her iPod for a year will Apple Repair or replace an iPod with broken charging port.

    If still under warranty, Apple frequently says the damage is caused by operator error and would only be covered by an Applecare+ extended warranty.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs They do not fix yours.

  • Charge iPod with the USB cable

    When I connect my iPod to a computer whithout iTunes installed, I get a new drive in windows. But on my iPod I get symbol in the display that says that I should not remove the cable before I disconnect the iPod in windows.
    In this case the iPod charge until I disconnect the iPod in windows.
    When I use iPod with my computer where iTunes is installed, I can press the Eject iPod button in iTunes and the iPod still get power from the USB cable, and the iPod still charge.
    Is there any software so can do the same job as in the iTunes for eject iPod? Beacuse then I can charge the iPod with only the usb cable and still listen to the music.

  • Charging iPod With Wall Adaptor + Converter?

    Hello,
    I am going to Europe in a couple weeks, and I was wondering if I will be able to charge my iPod with the wall adaptor and a converter (since their wall outlets are different than ours in the U.S.) without any problems. Will this work?
    Thanks.

    Ya to clarify Chris's post a bit, if the adapter says it takes a wide range from the low 100's of volts into the lowish-mid 200s of volts (e.g. 100-250, 120-240, etc.) then you have a univeral adapter that will take "world" voltages. In Europe they use 240V. here in the USA we use 120V.
    Now if for some reason you have an adapter that only lists US voltages (e.g. 120V, 110-130V, etc.) in that case a simple adapter will NOT work and trying to use one will just destroy your charger. In that case you need either a voltage converter to step down the 240V European voltage to 120V USA voltage or just purchase a univeral charger.

  • I have a iphone 4s and its stuck at the apple logo to comes up then fades away and every time i try to restoring with iTunes it gives me a 4013 error i changed the charging port/dock and the battery ive also used a different computer and cable

    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694#USB
    However, the most likely reason is your self-repair of a device that is only factory repairable broke something. Note that Apple does not sell replacement parts, so whatever parts you used were not made by Apple's supplier and are of questionable quality.

  • Will charging my iPod with a 9 Volt battery damage it?

         I made one of those Altoids Mint Tin chargers. It runs on a 9V battery.If I charge my iPod with it, will it damage my iPod? If it can damage it, what would it do?

    The voltage required to charge an iPod is the standard USB voltage of 5 volts. Since the device you have built is effectively homemade, and we have no way of knowing which circuit design you have used, you need to decide whether you have built it to provide 5 volts out, even though it has 9 volts going in. If it sends 9 volts into the iPod, that may damage the iPod. The polarity of the supply needs to be correct as well - in other words, the positive and negative need to be the correct way round, otherwise you may damage the iPod.
    The second thing that your charger needs to be able to do is deliver the voltage at the correct rate (I believe it's 500mA. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong). In this case, if it doesn't deliver enough mA, then once again, it may not (or more likely, will not) charge the iPod.

    Make your iPod unusable.
    Oh! and by the way, if you did damage an iPod as a result of stuffing 9 volts into it, that would void any remaining warranty on it.

  • Can I connect iPod (with dock connector) with just a USB connector?

    My mother-in-law gave my daughter her old iPod (with dock connector). It was supposed to come with an adapter that converts the 6-pin firewire cable to a USB cable (you are supposed to plug the 6-pin into the dock connector to charge it, then use the adapter to connect to your computer). We never got The adapter, so I just used USB connector from my own iPod nano to connect the old iPod into the computer. All kinds of error messages. I've now restored the iPod and it seems to be working, but I'm afraid to plug it back in using just the USB cable. Is it possible to connect the USB cable directly from the iPod to the computer without the adapter? Or could the problem be that I have also use my iPod nano on this computer? Thanks for any help you can provide.

    A 15GB iPod would have to be a 3rd gen iPod.  It has a touch (not click) wheel with four touch buttons in a row that glow orange during use, correct?  That model needs to be connected using FireWire, because it cannot charge over USB. 
    If your new Mac has a Thunderbolt port, you can get an adapter for FireWire
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD464ZM/A/apple-thunderbolt-to-firewire-adapte r
    plus an adapter for FireWire 800 to FireWire 400
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/FIR1369AD/
    Another way, if you have the square white FireWire power adapter that came with your iPod, is to get a special docking cable that Apple used to sell a long time ago.  It has both USB and FireWire connectors.  Here's a listing for a third-party version on eBay
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-Vanco-iPod-Dock-Connector-to-1-USB-1-FireWire-Cable-/2 71074766489?pt=US_MP3_Player_Chargers_Cradles&hash=item3f1d50ae99
    (Search on "FireWire USB iPod docking cable" to see other listings.)
    What you do with this thing is plug the USB connector to your Mac's USB port, the FireWire connector to the FireWire power adapter, and the dock connector to the iPod.  iPod can then sync over USB while getting power over FireWire.
    I would go with that special cable, to avoid using a series of adapters (which adds complexity and unreliability) and tying up the valuable Thunderbolt port for just your iPod.
