IPad charger vs iPod

In an effort to reduce baggage weight, I brought my iPad charger on my current trip thinking it would work on my iPad, iPhone and iPod. Well, it works on two out of the three -- iPad and iPhone -- but not on my iPod. Everything I've read indicates it should work to charge my iPod but the iPod simply refuses to recognize that it has been connected to a power source when I plug it in using the iPad charger. What am I missing?

Perform a Reset on the iPod... Try again...
Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

    Hi there Apples or Pears,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

  • Is it bad to charge an ipad from an ipod/iphone charger?

    I've plugged my ipad into my ipod/iphone charger and it works. But it takes forever for it to charge. I just wonder if it's bad for it to charge from that charger? Am I frying the battery?
    Thanks

    Charging Tips
    The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. 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.

    Yes, you can. Same goes for the iPhone chargers. They're all interchangeable, since they've got the same connectors.

  • Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod

    Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod touch

    No offense, but that's nice. I heard I was wrong and that what I said didn't make sense, so I simplified it. If I'm wrong, fine, but you have no reason to be such a *****. You never explained why I was wrong and you were right, so how am I or anyone else suppose to know that for sure? Then I tell you my source, and you insult me some more and then ask for my background, which as for this area goes, I already gave you. I worked at an Apple store for Christmas and was told by someone on the Genius team to tell customers not to charge iPads via iPhone chargers, as they had been known to fry the adapter or in one weird case, the actual outlet. Now I could see the outlet blowing be a bunch of other contributing factors, and not directly associated with the charger. However, the topic arose when a customer came in because her iPhone wall adapter didn't seem to be working, but wasn't that old, and admitted to charging her iPad with it. Why would I NOT believe that?
    And my DEEPEST apologies on commenting on old threads. I know how vital that is to existance and what an inconvenience it is to EVERYONE else. I'll be honest, I wasn't checking dates as I assumed suggested posts with like one answer near the top of the list were newer.
    Fine, I did something foolish, but I still win as I'm not either of you heartless ****** with nothing better to do than Internet harass others. Congratulations on your existences.

  • Can I use the charger of an iPad 2 for iPod touch?

    Will my ipod touch be ok?

    The iPad charger has a higher amperage, but it shouldn't fry your iPod touch. If you try and charge an iPad with the iPod charger it will charge significantly slower, but the other way around shouldn't be a problem.

  • IPad charger used for iPod Touch, now won't charge iPad

    Hello everyone! I need help. :( This is what happened. i charged my iPod Touch with the charger that came with my iPad 2 and the iPod charged okay. Now I connected the charger to my iPad and there was no response at all (no charging or not charging sign).
    This is the second time this happened. The first time was when my aunt used the iPad charger for her iPhone 4 which charged okay. When I used it for my iPad after, it did not work as in now. What I did the first time was connect the charger's detachable head (see image http://www.thefonestuff.com/product_images/c/441/MB706_AV1__57136_zoom.jpg) to a Macbook charger. The Macbook charged okay and when I reconnected it to my iPad, the iPad began to charge as usual.
    I don't understand what happened. Was the charger somewhat "inactivated" in both instances because it was connected to a device that required a different amount of power? Without the Macbook charger, how can I "restore" the charger to its "iPad-optimized" state?
    Thank you for your reply!

    Icedgreco-
    Changing the detachable head and changing it back, might wiggle an internal connection that is loose inside either the charger or the head.
    It is also possible your charger cable has a bad connection.  Either way, I think you need to contact Apple about it.

  • Using an iPad charger for a 2nd gen iPod touch

    I have a 12W usb power adapter for an iPad and was wondering if you can use it to charge an iPod touch 2nd gen. Does this have a negative effect on the iPod touch?

    None at all. Apple says it is acceptable and I use it for all my devices, including the small 7G iPod Nano

  • Ipad 2 charger for ipod classic

    I just bought the iPad 2 yesterday, and I'm wondering if the charger that comes along with it can be used for my old 160G iPod Classic.
    Thanks in advance for your reply.

    Hi Chris,
    I just did an experiment that's baffling me and I wonder if you or anyone else can explain it. Charging an iPod Classic 80 with the following result:
    USB to MacBook Pro: charges fine
    USB to small iPhone wall adapter: charges fine
    USB to 10W iPad wall adapter: does not charge
    I've gone back and forth and gotten the above results predictably, also used two different 10W adapters, same story.
    Any idea why?
