IPod firewire charger and international travel

I have the Apple firewire charger (model A1070) and I was wondering if anyone knows if it's dual voltage capable for international travel? My digi cam and other chargers all say that they are, so they just need a simple plug adapter, but this charger only says 0.4A Max input.
I was hoping to use my same basic plug adapter for the iPod too, without having to buy the travel kit from Apple for $35.
Thanks!

I've used mine overseas (Scotland, Spain) without any problems.

My ipod isent charging and my sound insn'et working in the jack hole there are wires sticking out but they are tiny what do i do?

First of all, you are fortunate that everything works. Secondly, I agree that rice may be the culprit in the charging port. However there is a chance that your trying to fix it could actually harm the port and cost you, so I suggest you first get under a bright light and use a magnifying glass to see exactly what and where the obstruction is. Attempting to connect the charging cable has probably already forced the obstructing substance further down into the port. Obviously the port is small and will require some kind of tool to help you remove whatever is in there. I suggest a plastic toothpick that is not likely to break and shouldn't do damage to the contacts. Tweezers may be useful but if utilized be very cautious not to scrape anything if at all possible.

I do not know what you mean by charger. Cable?

Ipod sometimes charges and sometimes doesnt. Is Software the problem?

I am having problems with my ipod mini. On some days it charges and on other days it "fake charges".
By "fake charges" I mean : leaving it to charge on my computer via usb cable overnight and it did not completely give me the charge sign. I would unplug it seeing an almost fully charged icon of the battery on the top right hand corner of the ipod. But as soon as I unplug the ipod I get the message that it has no more battery power and tells me to please plug it to a power source. Then it resets and when I reboot it the battery icon shows me that it never really charged and the icon is exactly the same before I tried charging it.
When it does charge the battery it would usually lasts up to 6 hours+ depending on the volume I put it at. Therefore I know that it isnt a battery problem but still clueless. On occasions the ipod would just shut off by itself after continious play and it was untouched + on hold.
I have tried charging on my own laptop and on several occasions used different versions of itunes. The newest itunes did not charge my ipod after many attempts so I used an older version which suprisingly worked and my ipod was able to charge fully. Then it stopped working not knowing why but I also tried other versions of itunes. They worked for awhile leading me to suspect that this maybe a software issue. After that I decided to give itunes 7.1 a try and it was fine.
I have tried restoring it many times with 7.1 itunes. They worked for awhile and allowed my battery to fully charge but I see no permanent results. My brother told me that constant reformatting of the ipod hard drive will eventually cause it to fail like any other hard drive but I am not sure if this information is true or not.
I have also tried charging it on the iMAC. My school owns a couple of iMACs so I tried charging it for an hour. Once again it "faked charged". Then I tried charging it on another iMAC and surprisingly it charges. I left it there for 2 hours and took it off the iMAC and the battery life would remain 3/4 full while playing songs. I am not sure what the difference was but the current iMAC I used had 7.1 itunes version not the 7.11 one that newly came out.
I am wondering if anyone has the same or similar problem like mine's. I am stumped at what is causing the problem and I am sad to say that itunes and quicktime has damaged my dell laptop to the point that my computer freezes every 10 minutes. It basically killed my computer and I have a program that tells me that the problem is caused by not finding the registry for itunes and quicktime making it freeze and sucking my CPU usuage to the max of 100%.
I am also quite diappointed at Apple's support because they just told me that it is the battery that needs to be replaced. I dont think that is the case. It can hold a charge but wont charge!
I am in an awful situation I think I'm going insane. the ipod that I orginially thought was a good idea is causing chao in my surroundings. I now have to fix my ipod and computer. I would be happy for any replys and suggestions. I am indeed sorry for my long post but I just wanted to make sure that I address all the problems with the ipod.
--Sorry for reposting on "Using ipod mini". I realized this has more viewers.

As I mentioned before...I did charge it with an Apple Adapter and it still "fake charged". I'm just wondering if it is the software that is causing the hardware of the ipod mini to screw up and not charge. It's just a hunch/theory.
I'm not sure if your point about "USB ports are not always a reliable way to charge an iPod" because thats all that Apple gives you with the new ipods. The adapter also functions with a USB. My mini is the second gen, not the first...it functions on USB and not firewire like most first gen of ipod mini. My computer is pretty old so there is only 1 usb port which is used by the ipod alone. So that can't be the problem.
Also I think it is ok to leave my computer overnight because I configured my computer to never sleep. I've also been charging my ipod over 4 hours and it still doesnt charge.
I read "The ipod battery unplugged". It doesnt really help me. It doesnt address any of the problems I'm having. Thanks though.

Last night my Ipod stopped charging and I have no idea how to get it to charge. I've tried everything and it still won't work. Help?

I got out of my bed last night and accidently got shocked by my Ipod and now it won't charge. I tried using a different charger and my Ipod dock but it wouldn't show that it was charging. I turned it off last night and left it on my dock and turned it on this morning and it had a low battery then all off a sudden it was fully charged. Can anyone please help me because I don't want to have to get a new Ipod just because of that?

1G iPod Shuffle charge and play

Can I plug a 1G iPod Shuffle into the UBS power adaptor wall charger AND listen to it through the headphone jack at the same time?
It may seem like a stupid question but, I'm returning my 2G iPod because it can't do both at the same time.
New sales pitch:
2G iPod Shuffle, It can't walk and chew gum!

Wrong answer, unfortunately, and your example (while
correct - it won't play when connected to a USB port)
doesn't fit the question asked.
In fact, you CAN play the 1G Shuffle through the
earphone jacks using Apple's USB charger; many folks
are doing that in any number of applications where
they're just providing background music in a business
or whatever.
It plays out of the jacks, not out of the base, and
that is why it doesn't work on the 2G model; there's
no difference between the two and no way to get to
the audio on the provided dock (making me suspect
that some ingenious German is working up a modded
dock even as we speak, something that will be a
slightly bulkier version of the current one but will
feature an earphone jack .... it should be possible
to do that).
Not all USB chargers are created equal and, while
they will charge the Shuffle just fine, the shuffle
won't play. This has to do with how the pins are
connected in the charger bases themselves, and there
are several sites on the web which tell you how you
can work around that.
Thanks, that was my suspicion and hope.
I tried fabricating a 'y' for the 2G with a 4 conductor 3.5mm female (to the iPod Shuffle dock), 4 conductor male (to the iPod Shuffle) and a 3 conductor female for audio out.
If only the dock (which was connected to the USB charger) and the 2G Shuffle were connected, the Shuffle would charge.
If only the headphones and the Shuffle were connected, the headphones work, i stereo, no problem.
BUT, once you plugged in both the headphones and the dock neither would work.
Sent the 2G back ordered the 1G and am keeping the Apple USB charger.
Thanks

My ipod wont charge and i already reseted my ipod and computer and i reinstalled itunes so what should ido cuz my ipod still wont charge

my ipod wont charge so i resested my ipod and computer and i reinstalled itunes and my ipod till wont charge what should i do?

You can does that plug your iPod somewhere else like the sockets on walls because sometimes the mac is getting less power so it cant give a bit of power to your iPod if it gives the mac will shut down
If in the socket it doesn't charge get New power adapted if it still doesn't charge get a new USB cable if it still doesn't charge take it to apple :)

TS1363 My ipod was charged and was playing music suddenly no screen is showing up, please suggest what to do..??

Hi All,
I've been using this 3rd gen Ipod Nano classic, and all of the sudden its freeze no display on the screen.
I've tried all the possible troubleshooting on this post site, but no go.
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks..

It has battery power? A 3rd gen nano is somewhat old, so its battery may no longer hold a charge.
I don't know what "all the possible troubleshooting" means, so did you do a Reset

In case the battery is worn out, you should do this while the iPod is connected to power (power adapter or USB on computer).

I can't get my ipod to charge and wont turn on

I can't get my ipod to charge, it wont turn on either. I know all of my chargers work because they work on my iphone. What do I do?

Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

Ipod not charging and it doesn't enter DFU mode as it is in a recovery mode loop. Can you please advice what i could do to solve this problem. Thank you :D

I have being using ios 5 beta 3 for a few days. It didn't charge my iPod so i thought of downgrading back to ios 4.3.3 but it didn't work so i put my iPod into Pwned DFU mode. When I tried downgrading it didn't let me. i restored back to iOS 5 beta 3 but then DFU mode didn't work so i tried another Restore and unfortuntely the battery went and i can can't charge it. It shows a black screen with a battery and telling me to charge the iPod.

Since your iPad is so new I would suggest-
If you bought it at an Apple Store, there is a 14 day return policy. Take the receipt, iPad, the box and what came in the box to the store and ask to speak with a manager and show him/her the problem and nicely ask to return the unit and purchase a new one.
Before going to the store make a Genius Bar appointment (http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar) and arrive at the store early and proceed with the first step I explained. The reason I suggest making an appointment is because the store may not have the 64GB 3G in stock to sell/exchange. But the Genius Bar may have it in stock to replace under warranty. So, if the manager explains that there are none in stock, then explain you have a Genius Bar appointment any way. If the manager says they do have them in stock to sell then explain you need to cancel your reservation.
If you can't or don't want to visit an Apple Store. Then call 1-800-MY-APPLE and speak with the customer service department.
Hope this helps.

Will an old iPod "firewire" charger work for my iPad

I have an old Firewire wall charger that came with my first iPod (wht 20gb). It is a 12 watt .64Amp output.
Will this work with my iPad. The iPad comes with a 10 watt charger.
Will the extra wattage harm the iPad?

When the current goes through the wire to the dock connection on the edge of the ipad, the devices does not "know" the shape or configuration of the connection to power at the other end. Clearly, the ipad does not interface with a firewire DATA port. However, there is an adapter cable for ipad devices with three ends: dock (to device); USB (to computer for data); FireWire (to AC wall adapter for power).
It seems to me that the 12V 1.0A output of the old wall adapter should be able to charge the ipad. I do not have the three legged cable, but do have a ipod power adapter with FireWire only connection. Has anybody tried this alternative to the 10V output wall adapter intended for the ipad?

My ipod touch charges, and even shows up on Itunes, but the screen doesn't turn on, how can i fix this?

My big brother gave me an ipod, just today. i let it charge until the battery was showing full on itunes, then i tried to turn it on but the screen won't power on. Th ipod even makes the little jingle when I plug it in. Are there any solutions what so ever?

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
