IPod USB adapter & PowerBook AC extension cord

I just bought an iPod USB adapter and see that it has the same sort of removeable "duck head" AC plug as the power adapter for my G4 PowerBook. Does this mean that I can use the PowerBook's 3-prong "extension" cord with the iPod adapter?
2GHz G5 iMac 20-in.   Mac OS X (10.4.4)   1.5 GHz G4 PowerBook 15-in.

I figured this out myself.

    Is it ok if I use ipod usb adapter model a1102 charger for my iphone 4?

    You can use the A1102 charger to charge the iphone 5 as long as you have the lightning adapter.  I just got off the phone with an apple tech, and you can use the A1102 charger to charge the Iphone 5.

  • Using converter/adapter with macbook extension cord'

    I'm taking my macbook to the u.k. and want to know if i can use just an adapter with the magsafe extension cord. I already have an adapter for the the magsafe cord but may need to use the extension cord as well.

    Yes you can just use a plug adapter. It will work fine either way.

  • Charge new iPad with iPod USB adapter 5V 1amp?

    Is there any problem to charge my new iPad with a USB iPod wall adapter with an output of 5V 1amp? And is it okay to do it daily? Will it affect in any way the battery?

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Question about returning iPod USB Adapter...

    ... Recently my adapter stopped working and Apple sent me a new one. Now the one I just recieved did not come with a return shipment label as far as I can tell (it has a P/N numbers and a package ID), so what am I supposed to do in this situation? Do I create my own return label?

    Well there is a receipt pull out and it does say that I should return the item back within 10 days. The label, as far as I know, isn't one of those labels that apple normally send with returnable items that you just rip off and has the return label under it. It's just two stickers with my address on it. Now has anyone ever been charged for not returning the item?

  • USB extension cord not recognizing keyboard

    I bought a USB extension cord to connect my keyboard to my iMac. I plug it in and nothing. I test it on a ipod and no problem. Where am I not understanding?

    How long is the USB extension cable?
    Since you noticed this problem, have you shut down (powered off completely) your iMac, and then restarted?
    I assume you tried connecting the keyboard directly to the iMac's port AFTER noting that the USB extension cable connection is not working. And it worked when connected directly AFTER trying it with the extension cable.

  • 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

  • Safe Output Rating for 240V USB adapter to charge my IPod Touch4.

    Is it safe to use a 240V USB adapter I have for my camera that has an Output rating of 4.4V  400mA to charge my new IPod Touch4?  I note that similar comercial (non Apple) products that claim to be compatible with the IPod Touch4 have a rating of 5V 1A.  I would be grateful for any advice on this subject.

    I have to say that the likelyhood anyone being able to "confirm" almost anything on a public forum is remote.
    I can tell you though;
    a lower voltage than the one required will not damage an iPod. However, a lower voltage may not provide enough "energy" (voltage potential, or EMF) to push the current around the circuit. So it wouldn't work.
    A higher voltage than the one required could possibly burn the electronics inside the iPod. One completely broken iPod.
    A charger that does not provide enough current may either charge slowly or not at all. I still believe 400mA is not enough, especially if it has a low output voltage as well.
    The iPod should draw only the current it requires, so one that supplies more than enough current will not damage it. However, personally, I would not use a charger that supplied (for example) 2400mA, with an iPod.
    Considering the cost of your iPod, isn't it wiser to spend a little money now, on either an Apple charger or at the very least, a proper 5 volt USB charger that supplies more than enough current (the mA), rather than coughing up for a new iPod because the charger you used damaged the iPod?
    Actually, two questions you can answer, which might help.
    What make is this camera charger anyway?
    Does it have a recognised (proper) USB output connection?
    You say that you have three opposing views. In fact, all three of us are effectively saying don't use this charger. Perhaps we have confused you by trying to explain it.

  • Apple iPod USB Power Adapter - ?

    Hello everybody!
    I've got a problem with my new iPod mini and I hope you may help me.
    After updating the new software for my iPod Apple told me to charge the battery with a Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which I don't have.
    I tried to connect the iPod to my computer (Windows XP) but there's always the picture of the adapter on my iPod. I've tried to reset it, restart the computer and so on ...
    But the display always shows this sign of the adapter.
    I hope you can help me, I'd be very greatful.

    iPod mini   Windows XP  

    but it's already worked with my computer, the iPod worked alright, so I don't think that I need this stuff you've just named.
    The iPod will work just fine without those things.
    It's the update/restore process that needs the A/C adapter.
    Anyway, you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to. I won't be insulted.

  • It it okay to use a powerbook G4 cord as an extension cord for my iPad?

    As you know, the iPad cord for charging is VERY short, so I sometimes need to use an extension cord. I noticed that when I slide that plug piece out of the iPad cord, it had same connector as my powerbook cord which I haven't needed lately and it fits perfect. Is there any reason this can't be safely used, like maybe some voltage issue or something else I know nothing about?
    Thanks

    It is safe to use the MB plug extension on the iPad wall charger. Apples make the plug thingy removable to different plugs for different countries can be used. The iPad wall charger and MB charger work on both 120 and 220 V too.

    Mains adapter?
    Depends on make/model but I think there should be no problem with older versions, unlike charging straight to the 32 pin connector via some older docks.

  • IPod dock extension cord

    A product accessory that I would to see: An iPod dock extension cord that consists of a female and male on either end.
    The reason for this, is I have the Speck Tough Skin case. I can not fit my ipod 60 with the case on into the dock of the iHome (H5). If I want to get the full capabilities of the H5 I have to take my iPod out of my case. Since the case is rubber and it not easy to remove or replace my iPod into that case. As of now if I want to use the H5 fully and have my iPod in a case I have to purchase a brand new case. I am sure other customers have similar issues as well and could benefit from this accessory.
    Thank you

    I'm in a similar boat with my iPod Shawn. I love the Agent 18 case and don't want to remove it from the case to put it into any docking accessories that would work fine with the case removed. Not sure this would help with your iHome, but I notice that Apple is now providing dock inserts to handle the footprint and size differences of each of the iPods. Couldn't someone just make a dock insert that would allow a full size iPod with a case on it (assuming the case has an opening at the bottom to access the dock)? Haven't seen anything like this, but seems like it would be a useful product since a lot of us keep our iPods in cases...

  • HT1384 Is there a difference between an IPod USB cord and an IPhone USB cord?

    Is there a difference between an IPod USB cord and an IPhone USB cord?

    Guy would this be of any help:
    To start up your computer in Apple Hardware Test:
    Press the power button to turn on your computer.
    Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears. If Apple Hardware Test does not start up, see the Additional Information section at the end of this article.
    Note: Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT.  An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature.
    It takes a minute or so for Apple Hardware Test to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
    When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
    The Apple Hardware Test console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
    To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
    To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
    Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.
    To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.
