Ipod nano charge port: is it universal?

This is a question about ipods in general. I have an ipod nano (not sure what gen, I think 1st) and I found an accesory for it I like that uses the charge port. But in the picture it is hooked to an ipod original/classic. Do ipods have universal charge ports aka will it probably work with my nano as well? Please help!

Yes, all three generations of the nano use the standard Dock Connector. They should work with standard charging accessories.
The only caveat is that they cannot sync over Firewire, but even if you did connect them to a computer's Firewire port, I think they may still charge even though they won't sync.

  • Will a ipod nano charger work with a new ipod touch?

    will a ipod nano charger work with a new ipod touch?

    If you want to charge a touch gen 4 or less, then absolutly (It just might take a little longer than one specifically for the touch, because of watt dierences I think). I'm not sure about gen 5

  • IPod nano charges but is not recognized

    Good morning.
    Im writing this topic, because I saw all the topics about this same problem, and none of them solved mine. I hope you can help me on this, so here is the thing:
    When I connect my iPod to the 2.0 usb port, the ipod lights its screen, charges, but neither windows or iTunes recognizes it.
    Ive tried going to:
    1. Going to control painel
    2. Double clicking System icon
    3. Hardware < Manager of Dispositives < Universal USB thing
    When Im there, I disabled the options at USB ROOT HUB on "Computer can turn it of dispositive to minimize waste of energy", as I have read on the other article to do, but it didnt help.
    Here is something that Ive tried everything to understand, but I cant: In the same place (Hardware - System - Control Painel), when the iPod is connected at the computer, my ipod appears on that list! But it comes with an Exclamation Point right next to its name, and it says that it needs an software to make it useful.
    The real message is:
    The drivers for this dispositive are not installed.(Code 28)
    To reinstall the drivers of this dispositive, click at 'Reinstall Driver'.
    Doesnt iTunes install it or whatever? What can I do to get my iPod recognized by the iTunes and computer, and then sync my songs?
    Please, I need someone's help!
    Thanks a lot,
    Andre.
    Ps:. 1. iPod nano, 1st generation, 2gb.

    Did you ever find a solution for your problem. It is exactly the same as mine and I'm so frustrated with all the problems after spending so much money for something that is supposed to be fun.
    I too have done everything suggested and still no answer. My computer will not install the driver or recognize the ipod exists.
    If you did find an answer, please email me with anything you think may help.
    Thanks

  • Ipod nano charging problem

    I got ipod nano today.
    After unpack I tried to charge 5 hours but it never charge up.
    So I disconnected usb cable and tried to operate ipod even there was mark of very low charged mark on screen.
    But it turned off suddenly with message of low battery.
    So I had to charge again but I saw the big low battery sign with thunder mark on the center of screen with some buzzing sound and tiny bip sound when I connect ipod nano to USB port.
    Are these normal?

    Bought an Ipod Nano today and I GOT THE SAME PROBLEM!!
    I could not start it at all, charged it for like 4 hours, nothing helped.
    What I though could do, was mount it to the PC, and the PC could feel it, and I could see the drive etc.
    Now to the solution, I ran the update Ipod program, and updated the program in the Ipod, and RIGHT AWAY it lighted up and now it seems like it works?
    Really strange.. Try to update yours to!

  • Does the ipod nano charge quickly when connected to a mac?

    hi everyone.
    I recently switched from windows to a macbook. i noticed that my ipod nano(second generation) charges quickly when connected to the mac as compared to when i connected it to my pc? is this possible or is there something wrong with my ipod? it is 11 months since i got my nano. kindly help.
    this is my first post
    Thanks in advance

    I assume you're talking about using the Apple cable with either component or composite cables. On a non-HD TV, the quality is quite good. I'm not sure what you mean about picture size. It doesn't letter box anything, if that's what you mean. Used to do it a lot when I went away for the weekend. It was an easy way to take iTunes rental movies with me and watch them on a big screen. I've never tried with my HD TV because i haven an Apple TV and there's no need.
    Best of luck.

  • Help. about the ipod nano charged with usb 1.1

    i just got the ipod nano. now i am charging it. according to the mannul, it will take 3hr to charge it by usb 2.0.
    considering i only have usb 1.1, so my question is how long it wil take to charge the nano. until i wait for 6hr and the screen still shows do not disconnect. i can transfer the music and image to the nano. thanks.

    Sorry, I'm not really sure how long the charge will take with USB 1.1, but I'd guess it would be way longer that "twice as long".
    The "do not disconnect" will show as the display until you eject the iPod thru iTunes.
    Now here the tricky part since I don't have a 1.1 USB. If you eject it thru iTunes, I believe the screen will show if it is still charging or "charged". So when you know you need to charge it, plug in to the `puter, then eject and leave it connected, to see what happens.
    I do recommend getting the USB power adapter. For USD30.00, it is really worth it. Well, for me at least. I charge regularly (4 times a week) and only plug into my computer to add more music (maybe once a month). Your usage may be different, but it is so easy to come home and just plug it into the dock (plugged into the wall).

  • IPod Nano Headphone Port Glitch, Need Help!

    I have an iPod nano 5th gen that was given to me on christmas, 2009. It worked fine for a year, but when I finally used headphones/earbuds that were not apple based my iPod started to glitch.
    The glitches are like this, I'll be listening to a song, and if I make any sudden movements that wiggle the headphone jack in the port, it will fast forward/skip/pause the song, I run so this is really annoying, I have cleaned my ipod, carefully cleaned the inside of the port, and made sure my headphone jacks are clean. I tracked it down to a side-to-side motion of the jack in the port, so it would seem that the male connector is short-circuiting the female part. I have contemplated taking apart my iPod, but that is my last resort. I have been waiting for a chance to go to an Apple store, and ask a genius about it, but since my computer isn't a 2 hour drive away I decided to ask here first.
    If you have any suggestions or answers please give them, I don't wan to buy any earbuds (which I need) until I can be sure they won't glitch my iPod. Also if you know how to take apart an iPod so I could check for dust or some sort of grit in the system that would be great as well.

    headphones/earbuds that were not apple based my iPod started to glitch.
    Contact the 3rd party vendor since it's their product.

    Then use the earplugs that came with your iPod Nano.

  • Ipod Nano, charges in Sounddock but no sound & no response to remote.

    I have an ipod Nano 3rd gen. Works fine. Version is 1.1 PC (Settings>About>Version)
    In the Bose Sounddock it charges but no sound at all. remote does nothing.
    Any ideas. Thx!

    I have a similar problem. I have had a Nano 3g for several months now and it's been working fine with my Monster car adapter and JBL Onstage. In the last couple of days, it suddenly stopped working in both. As soon as I plug the nano into either device, it freezes. I can't even do a reset while it's plugged into them. As soon as I unplug it, it is responsive again. I did the 5Rs and even downgraded from v1.1 software to v1.03, but that didn't change the behavior.

  • My iPod touch charging port is broke. Is it worth it to get it repaired? How much does it cost?

    My iPod touch stopped charging. When I examined the charging port on the ipod, I could see that a pin or two was busted and laying in there. Is this a repairable issue? What is the cost to repair the port?

  • IPod Nano Charger question

    as everyone know
    apple Nano doesn't come with a AC adapter Charger mad.gif
    I see on the back of the Nano (power = 5-30V --- 1A Max)
    I was wondering if I could use my 3rd Generation AC adapter (which has a firewire cable with the same 10 pin connector with Nano's USB cable)
    Output for adapter is 12V --- 1.0A
    will it be ok to use this charger?!?!

    All official Apple Ipod chargers firewire or USB connected with the proper cables are guaranteed to work and will not damage your Nano.

  • Ipod Nano charging with power adapter

    I have just purchased a 4Gb Nano and was wondering if I can use the power adapter (Model No.: A1003) from my old and now sadly defunct 40Gb touch wheel/dock connector ipod?
    Imac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)   Wintel user until August 2005

    yep! you can definitely use your old power adapter to charge it. ive used my adapter which came from my 3rd gen ipod with all my other ipods and it works fine!

  • Ipod Nano USB port uncovered?

    Is it ok or will it get clogged with dirt and not function? What do others do? New to this...

    In the past, as with the iPod Photo and mini, there was a wide variety of iPod cases which provided protection for the Dock Connector port as well. This is typically what people use. There's a couple for the nano right now.
