IPod classic charger with iPhone 3g ???

I will be receiving a 3g phone tomorrow. I have a question concerning chargers. Will the charger I have for my iPod Classic video 30GB work with the iPhone 3g??

Even though the connectors might be the same, they probably charge differently and use different levels of voltages. You can try it out and see if it will work, it shouldn't damage the device or anything, it will probably say it won't work if anything.
Not true. ALL USB ports and chargers provide 5 volts nominal (actually 4.5 to 5.5). Wall chargers provide 1 amp; computers are only required to provide 0.5 amp, but most newer ones provide 1 amp. The only difference is that 0.5 amp will take twice as long to charge the phone.
Firewire is different; there was a range of voltages that Firewire chargers would provide, so they were not interchangeable. But the iPhone doesn't work at all with Firewire so it's not an issue.

  • Can I charge an iPod Classic 3G with the Apple USB power adapter?

    I have just buy an iPod Classic 3G with 15  GB (SN JQ4239GQQQF) from ebay.
    I have read that it's posible to sync it with my PC with Windows 7, but, It is not possible
    to charge it by usb.
    I could charge it with the Apple USB power adapter?
    Thanks

    With that particular model, only the Firewire cable and connection will provide power to the device.  The USB cable is only for syncing.
    Using the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire and USB 2.0 Cable
    Here is the cable you'll need.

    And the wall adapter as well.

    Copy your iTunes Library from your Old computer, or it’s Backup, to your New computer...
    See Here for one way
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    Or...
    From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

  • Can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

    can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

    If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
    It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
    Good luck,
    Patrick

  • OK, here is my problem...i leave my ipod classic charging for 2 days and it still has the 'Please wait, very low battery" sign! what should i do? Please answer!

    OK, here is my problem...i leave my ipod classic charging for 2 days and it still has the 'Please wait, very low battery" sign! what should i do? Please answer!

    When you connect the iPod to the adapter or PC, you should see either of these signs on the iPod Screen .
    If you just get
    It may mean that your Adapter is not giving enough juice, because
    the adapter or the cable  is defective or
    your bottom dock connector is dirty with lint or dirt.
    Have a nice day!

  • How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (windows 8). It synced with my old computer (windows XP) but not with my new one (windows8)

    How do I sync my Ipod Classic 160gb with my new computer (Windows8).? It synced with my old computer (WindowsXP) but will not do so on the new computer?

    Hi Lechwe,
    I had this issue recently, due to changing HD for an SSD.
    In my case, since the library in my iPod was synced to the HD it was not syncing to the library in the SSD, though they were the same (had the same contents).
    I found there's this checkbox in iTunes > iPod > [Settings] Music, called "Sync Music". Mine was unchecked, I guess due to iPod being synced to the old library. I marked the checkbox and clicked then in Sync. iTunes asked me if I was sure I wanted to sync the iPod with the "new" library, i clicked yes, and the it started determining the song to sync. Since the library was essentially the same (just a couple songs more in the new one), it synced the couple new songs and that was it.
    Hope it helps!
    Regards,
    Awlo.

  • Ipod classic compatible with Vista Home Premium 64 bit

    Hi,
    Is the Ipod Classic compatible with Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit?
    I found out the hard way that the Itouch is not!
    Greetings,
    Miguel

    If I could I would answer your question.
    But I do not know how I did that.
    Itunes has been working since day 1 on my 64 bit machine, only problem is that it takes half a minute to copy album cover art to song in itunes, the computer is hanging for 15 seconds before the album cover art is copied.
    I just took the Ipod out of the box and connected it to the computer and it worked fine.
    Only problem that I had yesterday is that when I'm intergrating album cover art my hard disk is doing strange things.
    Just yesterday, my RAID 1 was corrupted by Itunes, first hard disk 1 was failing and an hour later hard disk 2 also crashed.
    Was able to reconnect them into RAID 1, luckilly.

  • Will my ipod classic work with windows 8

    I am finally updating my Windows XP desktop to a Windows 8 laptop.  Will my ipod classic work with Windows 8?  I've seen a ton of problems from other users with regard to compatibility.

    Do yourself a big favor. Switch to Windows 7. (Or buy a Mac.)

  • How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1

              How do I make my iPod classic work with iTunes 9.1?

    You are correct in some of your assertions, Limnos but, if I were to follow Apple's wishes, I would have to purchase the latest and greatest Apple product every month!  I refuse to do that.  I understand that my G4 is old but, it does what I need it to do.  To answer your question though, I purchased the iPod classic as a refurbished unit, about 5 years ago and had it replaced three times, since then so, there is no way for me to know how old it is.
    From my knowledge of how the Classics work(which is extensive.)  It is basically a hard disk.  There should be of performing a low level format, plug it back in and the G4 should recognize the ROm and automatically search for the correct software associated with that version of iPod and load it but, Apple will most likely no longer carry the software on their servers anymore!(surprise,surprise.)

    No, the iPod classic has no means of connecting to Wi-Fi, thus making it incompatible with iCloud.

  • I was given an 80gb ipod classic formated with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library?

    I was given an 80gb ipod classic formatted with mac os. Is there any way to connect it to my windows pc so I can transfer the song to my library? When I try to connect to my pc I get a message asking me if I want to format the drive. I want to try to save the 15000 songs that are already on the ipod. Any suggestions?

    The iPod and iTunes are designed so that you cannot transfer music on an iPod to another iTunes Library. This is because the 15,000 songs do not belong to you and you have no legal right to keep them.

    Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger?  I tried to use a NOOK wall charger, but the ipod touch wouldn't charge.

    Likely the Nook charger does not provide enough power to charge the iPod with the screen on. You can try leaving the charger connected overnight (iPod sleeping) and see if it is charged in the morning.
