IPOD and power adapters help =(

sooo, i decided to restore ERRRYTH`n. but on my ipod screen, it has a picture of a power adapter and an outlet. so i plugged the usb into my computer to charge it or someth`n, but it won`t do anyth`n. and when i press MENU AND MIDDLE BUTTON, it goes to a picture of the battery charging, only, its frozen like that. it aint animated. i tried restart`n the ipod, the computer, dc`n the usb and putting it into another usb port. =( anybody had this problem before?! if soo, please tell me the SOLUTiON. ty.\
btw. somebody told me if might be crashed it while flashing the firmware =T if so. please PLEASE give me a solution =(

You don't necessarily have to buy one. If you know someone with one, use theirs. If you live near an Apple store, take it by and they should let you connect your iPod to a power adapter. If they give you trouble, take it to the Genius Bar and ask them what to do.

What is it doing when you try to facetime? also if you are using the same apple Id/email on each device, it wont work.

Understanding iPhone Charging and Power Adapters

I've been in a protracted discussion (now locked) regarding iPhone battery charging and whether it is harmful/helpful to use the iPad power adapter rather than the iPhone power adapter.
There are a lot of misconceptions related to iPhone charging and current ratings on the iPhone and iPad power adapters. As an electrical engineer, I'd like to clear up some misconceptions.
Apple supplies a power adapter, not a "battery charger," with the iPhone and iPad.
The iPhone power adapter supplies a constant 5V at up to 1A (rated–independent tests have shown that it can supply almost 1.8A).
The iPad power adapter supplies a constant 5V at up to 2 or 2.1A (rated).
The iPhone's battery charging voltage and current are regulated within the phone.
The iPhone's battery is rated at 3.7V. Charged with the raw 5V from the power adapter, it would be destroyed. Fortunately, the internal regulation in the iPhone prevents that.
The maximum current that an iPhone will draw from a 5V power adapter is right around 1 amp. It does not matter if the charger is capable of supplying more, that's the most that the iPhone will use.
Because of the internal charge regulation, the iPhone battery will not charge any faster on an iPad power adapter than on an iPhone power adapter.
Apple approves the use of the iPad power adapter with the iPhone. It is completely safe for that purpose and does not harm the phone or battery in any way.
A water analogy might make this much easier for people without electrical engineering background to understand.
Water pressure (psi) is analogous to voltage.
Water flow (gallons per minute) is equivalent to current flow (amps).
A faucet valve is analogous to the iPhones battery charging regulation circuitry.
A bucket's capacity (gallons) is analogous to a battery's capacity (amp-hours or AH).
Let's say you adjust the faucet to flow 1/10 of a gallon per hour. The five gallon bucket will take 50 minutes to fill up. Easy enough. But then...
You need a lot more water flow for a new sprinkler system.
You need a lot more current for your new iPad.
Since the water pressure is constant at 80psi, the only way to get more flow use a bigger supply line.
Since the voltage is constant at 5V, the only way to get more current is to use a higher current power adapter.
After installing the new higher capacity water supply line, you go out to your faucet and adjust it to 1/10 of a gallon per hour.
After plugging in the higher capacity iPad adapter, you plug in your iPhone and its charging regulation circuitry adjusts the current flow to about an amp.
The bucket still takes just as long to fill up.
The battery still takes just as long to charge.
The faucet is not under additional strain since the pressure is still 80psi.
The iPhone's battery charging circuitry is not under additional strain since the supply voltage is still 5V.
I hope that I've clarified this for those who want to better understand the subject.

As far as the battery status, the tiny little icon in
the upper right corner of the screen is somewhat
helpful, but while it is connected it does not
actually indicate the level of the charge or that the
Iphone is charging. I was hoping to find a more
informative screen that would give better battery
details. When you first connect the iPhone sometimes
I get a large battery icon that shows the level
visually Is there a way to navigate to this screen?
1. Press the top button to turn the display off if it's not off already.
2. Connect to a power source.
3. The screen should display a large battery meter in the middle of the screen that actually shows the state of charge, even if charging.
If you don't see this plugged into your Mac try the AC adapter that came with the phone. If you still don't see it take it to an Apple store.

30G Video IPod and Windows Vista - Help!

I just recently bought a new computer equipped with Windows Vista. I have a 12" G4 iBook that was my main computer from which I ran my 30G Video iPod, and now I am wanting to sync my iPod with my new Windows computer, and this will be the only system I use with my iPod.
I realize there are many problems with compatibility of iTunes/iPods with Windows Vista.
My question is, barring the problems with iTunes, I downloaded the latest iTunes anyways and tried to use Yamipod to bring my 1600+ songs onto my computer from my iPod by bypassing iTunes. Problem is, my computer doesn't even recognize the iPod at all. iTunes does, but when I cancel the box asking me to reformat my iPod to Windows format and try to use Yamipod, Yamipod doesn't even recognize an iPod existing. I thought maybe it was just the program, so I tried about 4 others, but nothing. I also used the cd that came with my iPod and put the drivers onto this computer, but the actual computer still doesn't even recognize it plugged in.
Any ideas? Also, because a lot of my songs are in m4a format, how will that work if I am able to put them on this computer? Will I have to convert them all to mp3?
Thank you for any help you can give.

And given that Vista has been available in Release
candidate version for ages and that the release date
has been known for ages, shouldn't apple have made
the effort to make itunes compatible with Vista?
After all, the vast majority of itunes users live in
Windows land.
perhaps you should familiarise yourself with the common usage and implications of the symbol string
but as you clearly aren't familiar with it, if i took your question seriously, which i don't, then the answer is no...
your argument is that being first and being in the majority rules
that'll be apple then won't it
i) i can't be bothered to check the itunes release date, certainly it was out in 2001, which is several years before microsoft even figured out what to call the os formerly known as longhorn, let alone finished sawing off the pieces it couldn't make work
ii) the majority of people with portable music players use ipod/itunes, so it is for microsoft to conform with the majority and not make changes that impair the products used by the majority
so, by your own argument, it is microsoft's responsibility to maintain compatibility

Ipod and Power Point..can it work?

I just got the 60 gb video Ipod and wanted to know if it is possible to put a power point presentation (which is on a cd-rom with audio) on my Ipod. If it can be done, please tell me how. I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
Windows XP

If the Keynote document has some slides with quicktime movies to play, when you send the Keynote 3 doc to the iPod 60GB will the video as well as the slides be fully functional??
You can still use PP slides on the iPod. Just export
the slides as JPEGs. PP will put them into a folder
of their own. Just sync them to your iPod and c your
can view them as a slideshow.
You do lose the audio however, but, this is a great
way to have portability for your presentations.
If you are a Mac user, you can send Keynote
presentations to your iPod fully functional without
having to use this workaround.

Big problems with Firewire iPod and camcorder - please help!

Hi all,
I don't know where else to turn with this problem. I think I've damaged my Firewire kit.
I have an iPod 4G 20GB and a Canon MV901 MiniDV Camcorder. I used them both over Firewire with my Pismo without difficulty, but I then tried video editing on my Windows machine with a firewire PCI card. Scrabbling around the back of my computer, I think I somehow managed to get the firewire cable to the camcorder in the socket upside down, reversing the power and data conncectors. Nothing really happened, but the camcorder stopped showing up. I tried it a good few times, then tried my iPod. By some bizarre coincidence, I think I managed to plug the iPod in the same way. Now, my iPod doesn't work on either the Windows machine or the Pismo over firewire, but does over USB2.0 on my Windows machine.
I measured the power going through the Firewire power pins as around 13.5 volts on my Pismo and the card, but the card also has an auxiliary power connector. This was disconnected when I tested it, but was connected when the iPod and camcorder were.
The thing I would like to know is whether a voltage spike of this size could fry the firewire controllers on both devices. The iPod's diagnostic mode detects that firewire is connected, but will not show up. Strangely, it still charges over firewire from either machine. Have I permanately damaged the firewire controllers?
Thanks in advance,
Rob Johnson

Rob,
If you mistakenly inserted the FireWire connector twisted 180 degrees, the power lines can be directly connected to the data lines and can result in a fried PHY (connects the port to the FireWire bridge) or the FireWire bridge itself.
You can take a look at the voltage specs for FireWire ports and see that your voltage readings are well withing specs:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58207
I am not sure where you go from here. You could try a known-good FireWire device connected to your Pismo and see if it works. If not, the data-side of the FW port may have failed. I don't know about testing the iPod or camcorder.
A possible cheap fix for the Pismo FireWire is a FireWire PC card; if running 10.x, it will just be a plug & play affair. However, unlike built-in FireWire ports, FireWire PC cards supply very little bus power. Your camcorder will work since it has it owns power supply (assuming there is no hardware failure) and but am unsure about the iPod. The iPod will not charge, of course, but it may still work in data transfers. There are a few FireWire PC cards that also have their own power supply.

Ipods and airports! help?

Hi, Can anyone help? Whilst going thro airport and sitting in departures lounge when I switched on my ipod 40gb all my 1245 tracks had vanished! I reset it but the memory still came back as empty!! I have just returned home and switched on the ipod and wow there all back!! why did this happen, will it happen again and is there a fault with it? ( this is my second one and my warranty has just run out!!) thanks

hey bored as a **** excuse my lang. the ipod sometimes just just over heats and crashes, i don't know why it deleted all your songs but it happend to me before. not fun and i had a lot more songs then you. not sure if this is helping you? If all the songs on the ipod is gone already you should restore the ipod by going to this web site http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/ and just download the latest software, its free and simple. I doubt this will happend to you again just don't drop your ipod or leave it on 24/7

Ipod and Outlook Calendar (help needed)

Does anybody know how could I add the location field (from calendar event's details) in the syncronising data going to Ipod ?
Many thanx.

The iPod calendar doesn't display the location field although it is sync'd. You need to put your location information into the description field.
I wrote a Perl script that can be used to edit the calendar files on the iPod and move the location into description automatically, and it is available on my website <http://its.usc.edu/~bbellina/downloads>, however you would need to have Perl installed on your Windows PC to use it. It should be compatible with Outlook vcs files. You would use it after you sync your calendars.

2 iPods and 1 iMac = HELP!

So any tips on using multiple iPods on a single Mac with multi user accounts.
We have a 20in Intel iMac. It's setup so each person in the family had their own user.
Until now I was the only one with an iPod and pretty much the only one that used iTunes. I have a 5G 30gig pod.
Well we just bought my daughter her own shuffle. 2G 1 gig bright pink. (she does not know about it yet, its for her birthday in another week)
I figured that I would plug it in and put some music on it so she was ready to go when she unwraps it. I did this all on my user account.
I then figured I had better plug it in with her user logged in.
The second I opened iTunes in her user and hooked up the shuffle it told me that the iPod could only be used with one iTunes account and asked if I wanted to erase it and start over.
Whats odd though is that it detected my 5G iPod no problem and didn't give me a single error, I could access all the songs and video's on it.
So what the scoop? Is this a shuffle only issue or something bigger that i am missing.
Second part of the question - is there a way to lock her user from accessing my iPod when its connected (I always have it docked - Belkin iPod/USB hub - when I'm not using it) and I am not logged in.
My wife liked the shuffle so much that I will be getting her one soon as well, so then it will be 3 iPods and the 1 Mac...
I'm puzzled. Any tips?
Thanks.

Is this a shuffle only issue or something bigger that i am missing.
Yes; all other iPods can accept music from multiple iTunes libraries.

IPod exceeds power. HELP!!! It's driving me crazy!

Whenever I connect my iPod nano 4gb to my computer, it tells me that the "device connected to the USB port has exceeded power limits of the USB hub and needs to be disconnected immediately". I am using this iPod for over a year and i always connected the cable to the same USB port. I tried it on another computer and i get the same thing. So the problem is definitely the iPod or the cable. Can anyone who experienced the same problem tell me what can i do to resolve it? Thnx

Hey guys, I've figured it out. It was my cable which was having some probs. I bought a brand new one and it works perfectly

Where can I get accessories and power adapter for Powerbook 180c

My father just bought me second hand a Powerbook 180c. It looks to be in great condition. But it can't be checked to make sure as the battery is dead and the power adapter was not with it. I've looked on line at various stores, Office Depot, Staples, Amazon, Buy, etc only to find that they either do not carry Apple products or the accessories and power adapters would not work. Or the prices are disgustingly high. Due to illness I cannot work and my parents are on a limited budget. Does anyone know what sites carry accessories and power adapters that will work on the 180c without breaking the bank, atleast a power adapter for now, to see if the 180c even works? Any advice appreciated.

Hi, I'm not sure that a retail store will still carry an adaptor this old unless it's a generic one.
I just checked mine, as Jan says it is 7.5V DC at 3.0A don't get the older version which was for older PowerBooks as it was only 2.0A. The part number on my 3.0A is M5652.
This fellow on eBay seems to have lots.

My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow and when ever I get on a app it will shut it down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do

My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.

- Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
- Next, reset the iPod
To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
Then you can try:
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I plugged in my ipod and now i get the error message: Because a USB device was drawing too much power from your computer, one or more of your USB devices have been disabled" - i have a MAcBook pro and now my USB ports do not work - can anyone help me ???

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

My iPod touch isn't working correctly.it is displaying a white light and no matter what i try it isn't helping.tries holding the reset and power button together and tryed holding the power button in but it doesn't work. please can someone help?
