IPod Power Adapter

I bought this product: iPod Power Adapter from eBay. It made the building on fire.

It has sparked the extension cord. I used a glove and a scissor to cut off the stucked part.
After the cut, the whole apartment power switch went off.
Just sue the seller. I got his or her information here: [email protected] & [email protected]

The power striked my finger or hands.

OK to use iPod Power Adapter to charge iPhone?

At the Apple Store, they told me that I could use a power adapter and cable for an iPod with my iPhone. Seems to work fine, charges the battery fine. But I notice that in the tiny print on the side of the iPod power adapter it says, "Output 12V -- .67A". The print on the side of the adapter that came with the iPhone says "Output 5V -- 1A".
Wouldn't want to fry my phone battery with those extra volts.

It's not $29.99 + $19.99. They include with the iPhone both a dock/charger and a power adapter/wall plug charger. But only one cable between either of them and your iPhone. So, if you have a computer in one room and you charge your phone overnight in another room, you need another cable.
One solution is to to use some cable you already have, that fits, such as I did once, from an iPod 2 or 3 years old. But I had to use the power adapter that came with that cable/iPod, since the USB cable end was different. It said output: 12V. the iphone power adapter said output: 5V.
So, although the cable fit and the iPhone charged seemingly fine, I was not comfortable charging my $600 iphone with a 12v charger when the one that came with it was a 5v charger. I paid just $19.99 for a duplicate cable to the one that came with the iPhone, used the 5v power adapter that also came with it. Just in case. The apple guy at the "genius bar" agreed: it "ought to work" but, yeah...it's disconcerting...
So, that's the story. I now have a dock on my iMac and a power-adapter from the wall in my bedroom. Both supplied with the iPhone. Both using identicl cables.
What I would like to know, from some tech person, is YEA or NAY. The 5v and 12v iphone and ipod adapters are interchangeable OR they are not and WHY. Otherwise, we are all just speculating.

IPod Power Adapter Question?

Hey well i just bought this ipod power adapter but the thing is that what else do i need because when i try to connected my ipod's 5G charger that came witht the ipod it wont fit but the thing that i want to know what else do i need to use this charger?

when i try to connected my ipod's 5G charger that came witht the ipod it wont fit
Sounds like you purchased the iPod Firewire Power Adapter, instead of the iPod USB Power Adapter.
If you want to keep the power adapter you purchased, you'll need to also get a 6-pin Firewire to Dock Connector cable.
Otherwise, you could return the power adapter you have and exchange it for the USB power adapter and use the cable which came with your iPod.

Which iPod Power Adapter?

I need to buy an iPod Power Adapter (for my video iPod).
FireWire or USB?

Your iPod will charge over either Firewire or USB. However it would probably makes sense to buy the USB one so that you can use the USB to Dock connector cord that came with your iPod to connect it. If you buy a Firewire adapter you'll need a Firewire to Dock connector cord to attach it.

IPod Photo won't charge with Power Adapter but charges through Computer....

Hi got this problem... searched the discussion board but didn't find any satisfying answers.
Hope somebody can help me out here.
Problem description:
My iPod photo won't charge using the power adapter from Apple. Bought a second one won't work, used different cables won't work either.
however it does charge via the USB port of the computer.
And it also charges via the car stereo plug (forgot the real name but it's from the apple store).
So does anybody have a similar problem? Could it be the iPod that is defective and also destroyes the Power Adapter maybe?
didn't try a different iPod to charge yet. So that's one thing left to try for verification.
untill then maybe somebody knows help, and it might be just a little setting thing.
Thanks for the Help

hi Rene!
hmmmm. it sounds like you've already tried most of the things listed on these documents:
iPod's battery doesn't charge
iPod: Troubleshooting the Apple iPod AC Adapter
iPod: About the Apple iPod Power Adapter
from what you're reporting, i'm currently most suspicious of the electrical outlets you're using with those adapters. if you try switching it to a different outlet, does it charge properly then?

New USB Power Adapter includes cable

I just got caught and hope this advice helps others...
The original USB iPod power adapter did NOT include a USB-to-dock cable. I just ordered the NEW USB power adapter and the extra cable. Guess what - it now includes the cable!

Did you find a solution Raf SR?
I have a similar problem. After initial (updating/restoring) issues with my ipod mini which I won't bore you with, I got it working and charging successfully through my PC via the USB cable. Then I bought a USB power adapter for when I am away from my PC. When I connected my ipod to the power adapter it did the brief "do not disconnect" thing then "OK to disconnect" with no attempt to charge. I left it overnight and the following morning it had the battery/triangle/exclamation mark symbol and I had to reset the ipod to get it to work (I did this while still connected to the power adapter).
I borrowed a friend's firewire power adapter and that worked fine. I went back to the store and swapped my usb power adapter for another (firewire power adapter wasn't available) and it did the same as the first one. The ipod still charges fine via the PC and usb cable.
I don't get it! Can anyone help? Thanks

Power adapter - not from apple.

I recently purchased an iPod power adapter + dock from Value City I think it was. I don't use the dock, but I do use the power adapter that I plug my iPod into using the cord that came with my iPod. the box for the adapter says that it's compatible with iPod video.
is this okay to use even though it's not manufactured by apple?

Take it to your nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have them look at it.

4th Gen w/o power adapter

I bought a 4th generation 20GB iPod from eBay. I plugged it in and it started syncing right away, but it was slow because my old-school iBook only has USB 1.0. So, after a couple hours of syncing, I got a message saying that the iPod had no power left and that I should connect it to an external power source. I messed with it for a little while and got the syncing to sort of start again, but then more trouble, so I restored it using the 'restore' button in iTunes. The result followed pretty closely the details of this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
But when it got to the point where it says "Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models)" I was stuck because I don't have a power adapter. I thought iPods were powered by the USB. (The seller, a company [not an individual], made no mention of this either way.) But the point is, all the iPod does now is show a little picture of an adapter plugging into a wall. Any idea what I need to do here? Is it as simple as buying an adapter, or is there another way to deal with this?
Side note: I plugged it into my wife's G4 iBook with USB 2.0, and it still showed the picture described above.
Can anyone help with this?

I plugged it into my wife's G4 iBook with USB 2.0, and it still showed the picture described above.
Plug it into the iBook G4 with FireWire, or an unit such as the iPod Hi-Fi, or try this method, or take it to an Apple Store.

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

Hi,
my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.

New iPod touch 5th generation charger won't work with computers or USB power adapter?

I just got this charger less than two weeks ago and just yesterday it started saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work on this iPod." It will only work on some occasions, but most of the time it won't. Other times it will show that it is charging, but when I select to "Trust" my computer it stops charging. When I plug it into the USB power adapter, it rarely works (even when I try it in different outlets.) Any way to solve this issue?

If a non-Apple cable and the place will not take it back then:

IPod Nano + USB Power Adapter (+ Universal Dock)

Hi,
I've got an iPod Nano and a USB Power Adapter to charge it. Untill a few days ago it went fine, even with my Universal Dock between them. But since 2 days my iPod only charges when I put the Power adapter direcly into the wall plug, but with my Hi-Fi installation I'll have to use it with a multiple socket.
Does anybody know why and how to get round this?
Thanks

possibly a fuse blown in the multiple socket plug?? or even in the power adapter itself

IPod mini can't see firewire power adapter after 1.4.1 update

I updated my mini to the (infamous) 1.4.1 update, and now my firewire connection doesn't appear to work. When plugged into the computer with the firewire cable, mini doesn't appear on desktop or in iTunes, though it will start recharging the battery. When firewire power adapter is plugged into dock or into mini to try to recharge, it doesn't work. I purchased a new firewire cable & adapter but it's behaving the same way. USB cable to computer works fine (mini shows up on desktop and in iTunes). I've tried the Reset, Retry Restart, Reinstall, Restore. protocol several times with no success. I've tried Resetting the mini while plugged into the firewire power adapter. No luck.
Any suggestions?
Is there a way to uninstall this update?
g5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Thanks Chris - I did this, and am now running the earlier version of the software, but my iPod still can't see my power adapter. Any ideas about this?

4th Gen. ipod. No longer charges from wall socket. Still can charge from computer. Wall power adapter and cord both work fine on other devices. Wall Why?

4th Generation ipod. Used to charge fine from wall socket (cord and USB adapter) and could also charge on the computer. Suddenly stopped charging from the wall. The same cord and adapter still work for my iphone, so there is not problem with either of them. What has changed? Why won't the ipod charge from the wall anymore? Is there anything I can do about it?

Thanks! It didn't actually work with the one I was using to charge the computer either. We had tried the computer cable with the power adapter, and it didn't work to charge the ipod, though it does charge my iphone. Following your idea further, I waited for my husband to get home from a trip and tried one of his extra cables he keeps in his backpack. That cable worked in with the USB power adaptor. I had thought that because the cable I use on my computer charges my iphone through the USB power adapter or the computer, and that it charged the ipod through the computer that it was fully functional. Apparantly not. Thanks again.

Travel Adapter and iPod USB Power Adapter

I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but this is all new to me so please bear with me I just bought an iPod video, a World Travel Adapter kit and the Power Duo kit - which contains a power block wall charger, USB mini cable, and car charger. I was looking at the plugs in the travel kit and do not see how they work. The product data says that it works with the USB power adapter - which at this point I am assuming is different than the power block wall charger? Can someone verify this for me? Also, can someone then tell me how these travel adapters plug into the USB power adapter (or power block wall charger) so that they can be used when traveling overseas. I can't tell from the photo of the USB adapter how this would be done...I don't want to buy yet another power adapter if I don't need one, but I sure can't see how they work with what I have so far or how they would work with the USB power adapter..I would have thought that the travel kit would have some with everything that I need but apparently it doesn't.
Thanks in advance.

ipod video Other OS

Now I have hooked it up to a PC without itunes on it. The ipods says it is charging but when you disconnect you can see that the battery level is even lower. Does this mean that I should just take back the ipod to exchange it for a working one?
Thanks
