IPod touch 3g with 2g charger

I've been trying to find a charger suitable for my third generation 32GB iPod touch, and while I've found many that are compatible with the 2nd generation iPod touch (and say nothing about 3rd generation iPods on the box), those I've tried have worked strangely. The iPod does charge, however when my iPod is connected and I try to type, using any application, some keys I didn't touch are written as if I had, and the touch interface in general works in a bit of a weird manner.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any risk in using a 2nd generation iPod touch charger with my 3rd generation iPod touch? Do I have to use a charger specifically designed for my iPod?

A charger for a 2G Touch will work fine for a 3G ... there was a charging change between the 1st and 2nd generations, but not between 2nd and 3rd.
Your touch screen issues are very likely something else, nothing to do with your charger as long as it was designed for iPod.

  • IPod touch 2G with Nano charger?

    Hi there..
    My girlfriend just bought an iPod touch 2G and it didn't come with a charger to charge from the wall.. only the usb cable. I own an iPhone and now don't have use of my IPod Nano 2G charger that I used to use. Will this charger work for her Ipod touch???
    Thanks for your help.

    It does.. That's great. I just wasn't sure if the output wattage was the same for all of them but I guess if it's using usb like the touch then it should work.. Cheers for the help.

  • Cannot charge ipod touch (3G) with wall charger, only using MAC.

    I've had my Ipod Touch for over a year. Suddenly yesterday the device will not charge with either a wall (a/c) charger or a car charger. I have two wall chargers and neither one works. It will only charge when plugged into a usb port on my MAC computers. I took it into a Genious Bar today, a both of the employees there replicated my problem, but had no clue why it is doing this. They also verified that both of my wall chargers function properly. Any ideas?

    Ah!  I am having the same problem!  All charging methods were working fine, and all of a sudden only the computer charger works.  I've got two cables, and both charge via computer, and neither charge via the wall or car charger.  The connection automatically starts the iPod, but charging does not occur.  Have you resolved this issue yet?  Thanks!

  • IPod Touch Compatibility with iPod Classic accessories

    Hi,
    I'm considering buying an iTouch. I currently own an iPod classic and have the car charger/player, camera connector and wall charger. Is the iPod Touch compatible with these items?

    if you have an iTrip with the power supply for the car, i can most assuredly confirm they do work, i had an ipod 5th gen, the first video and i just got the touch, the wall charger should also work b/c it is the same size as the itrip, as for camera, i have no clue, hope this helps

  • My daughter wants to purchase an ipod touch.  Are there charges or fees for texting ipods other than ios5 systems (i.e. ios4's, etc.)?

    My daughter wants to purchase an ipod touch.  Are there charges or fees for texting another ipod with a system other than the ios5 (i.e. ios4,etc.)?

    Also, there is no battery percentage. The battery drains quicker than in iOS 6. The high power consumption may be fixed in the next update.

    My friend found his old ipod touch 4. He charged it up, and it says "disabled" and i cant restore it on itunes without his password which he forgot. Can I restore it without the password.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
