Ipod wall charger question..

Hi
I have a wall charger for the iPod 20gb (4th gen I think) model.
Does anyone know if the same wall charger can be used to charge up the smaller iPod Nano?

excellent!
Thank you

    I've got that white iPod wall charger, and when I plug it into the mains, it makes a high pitch noise. why is it? something in it is spinning really quick, because when I turn it off, it starts to slow down. (i think that's what it is)..
    what's wrong?
    the ipod needs a new hard drive.... is this a reason for the wall charger screwing up?
    it uses the FireWire connection (the charger does)

  • Wall charger question

    I have the iPad with the USB cord and wall charger. I also have the wall charger that is used with iPods.
    Is it possible to use one charger with both the iPad and the iPod Shuffle (Gen. 3 - the new small ones)?
    I do realize that the cords are different.
    Thanks, Steve

    Numerous other threads say that either charger can be used with iPads, and ditto for iPods. If you use an iPod charger on an iPad, it'll charge more slowly, though.

  • IPod Wall Charging

    Not sure if anyone has tried this... but when you have multiple iPods in the family, it's bound to happen. I attempted to use a regular iPod USB wall charger to simply charge the Shuffle from the wall. To begin it appeared to not charge... after disconnecting and reconnecting a few times, success - the Shuffle appears to be charging. After sometime I disconnect the unit and see that the battery indicator shows green... I go to turn it on, and all seems fine until hitting the play button. I then get the alternating Orange-Green light show. Same with the battery indicator on the back (orange-green). Which led to my post below this one (had the battery drained enough to not have anything on it at this point)? Or is the iPod Shuffle incompatible with the regular USB wall charging units. Just curious... I can charge through computer, but tried this when I only wanted to charge. Little help would be appreciated... thanks.

    Yes, is able to charge the other iPod... not sure what's happening here. Appears to charge when it does... but it may be having had let it sit for too long (which i didn't think was very long at all)... likely it drained and erased it's files along with it.

  • HELP! 40GB photo ipod "wall charger" icon..

    I am not sure what generation my photo ipod is but I got it a year or two ago so I am assuming it is a 4th generation one. All of my songs were deleted and now has the "plug to wall charger" icon. The problem is, I don't have a wall charger anymore. Would I need to buy one or does anyone know of any other methods I can go through to fix it? I been charging my ipod through the usb/computer.
    Please help. I am too broke to afford to buy a new one! I love my ipod dearly!

    I purchased a refurbished 4th generation HP branded Apple iPod for my friend today. When I was setting it up for him I noticed it was formatted for Windows and he uses a Mac, like me. To change it to Mac-format, so he could install firmware updates, I restored the iPod in iTunes. I've done this a number of times with my Mac and my iPod Mini, however with a firewire cable. I didn't know that if you restore this generation iPod with a USB connection, you need to connect it to a wall charger afterwards to complete the firmware update.
    HP did not ship this iPod with a firewire cable or a power adapter. It was asking to be connected to a wall adapter but we did not have one. We bought a car power adapter, but this didn't work. We tried inserting the USB cable half-way, but that did not work either. What finally worked was taking the iPod to a Radio Shack and plugging it into an iPod clock radio/boombox type device; the firmware installed, the iPod rebooted, and we have a Mac-formatted iPod working perfectly now.
    No amount of resetting or attempts to put the iPod in disk mode prior to this would work. Hope this helps someone.

  • Reset ipod, wall charger

    I just reset my son's ipod, and now it wants me to plug into a wall charger, which I did, but the symbol for wall charge hasn't come off of the screen! How long does it take, or is there something else wrong?

    I had the same problem with the plug in symbol on display and it not recognizing my usb power supply. It also didn't work when I bought the electric wall/power supply for the usb connection. *Here's the fix!!!!* Go to Best Buy and look at the *Curtis Clock Radio* for IPOD (approx. $39.99)It will be in the boombox/clock radio section. Not the MP3/IPOD section! Put your ipod on the display model and it should connect, finish updating etc! They don't care if you "try it out"! If that one doesn't work for some reason, try the other ipod type radio/boomboxes! It worked for me!!!! Rick

  • 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 question

    if i want to charge my ipod in a computer that does not have the same songs in itunes, will my songs be erased?
      Windows 2000  

    Only if the iPod is set to automatically update and you click yes to this message...
    If you click No or if your iPod is set to manually update, your music will not be erased/changed.
    Be sure to click No.

  • Use IPod Wall Charger with Zen 16

    I have been experiencing awful battery life with my 6GB Zen---After three years my Nano still deli'vers 6 hours. This Zen is rated at 25 but I'm lucky to 4 hours. I have been charging it with my Nano charger---is there something wrong with doing that? I hate to leave the computer on for the 4 hours necessary to charge it.
    Help please! I'm on the verge of returning it. I bought a Zen Plus V on a whim---I actually like it a lot better and the battery never seems go down---I've only charged it once since I got it and have used for about 6 hours...
    Chris

    It depends a lot on what you're doing with it. For playing video, the Zen's battery life is rated at only fi've hours. If you're listening to audio, it can make quite a difference if you turn off the screen while listening. You do this by switching the player into "hold" mode while playing, and wait a few seconds.
    Then again, you might just have a bad battery ... or, the charger might not be matched properly to the battery.

  • USB Charger question

    Hey, everyone.
    I just wanna know if the new iPod wall charger works on 20 voltage.
    Thanks to those who will fill me in about this.

    I think you are missing a digit there somewhere. So I am not sure if you are asking about 120V or 220V or 240V or ... etc.
    But generally, the Appe branded wall charger will use any world input voltage which means 100-240V. I was not aware there was a new model out, but if there is, I am sure it is like the old/current model where it supports that same full range of input voltages.

  • TS1410 My iPod Touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my computer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and my wife's iPod Nano will sync on the computer. I did go in and reset my iPod back to factory settings, but still will not work. An

    My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.

    Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

  • Ipods req the wall charger, old and new

    Ok, technical question here.
    What is the variable in an ipod requiring a wall charger for the final part of a restore? ipod type or powered usb port. I believe it's the type of ipod (with the powered usb port being a requirement for the ipod to connect to the computer), but read below with further details.
    I was under the assumtion that the ipods required a powered usb (1.1 or 2, 2 being the better choice) port, and if it was not powered, the ipod wouldn't connect in the first place. Am I correct with this, or are there like strange multiple versions of powered usb ports?
    The thing that leads me to believe that it depends on the ipod is because that is what I've dealt with during my stint doing psychotic ipod fixing. Same laptop/chord/usb port and everything, but the 5Gs/nanos did not require the wall charger during the restore process while the old 4Gs/1G minis did.
    If it was the poweredness (I don't know what else to call it!hah) of the usb port that was the variable, the older ipods would not have required it.
    These same findings have been experienced on the brand new two day old laptop I was using at work, and my one year old laptop at home.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    There are 4 components to the charging circuit: Power adapter, dc-in card, logic board, and battery. It sounds like your power adapter is working alright. Based on your description, they replaced the dc-in card, which contains the port the rca plug from the power adapter goes into, and they replaced the battery.
    Have you reset the Power Management Unit (PMU)? See this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    If a PMU reset doesn't fix it, take it back, explain that you've replaced the dc-in card and battery and it still doesnt't charge. Sounds like you have Applecare. They should take it, and replace the logic board, as that's the only component left in the charging circuit (again assuming your power adapter is good).

  • Is it okay to charge my iPod Touch with my wall charger on a regular basis?

    I like to use my iPod Touch at night before I go to sleep but since my computer is not in my room my iPod Touch is usually charging with the wall charger I bought (from Apple) for hours and usually overnight and its becoming that that is the only way I'm charging my iPod because at night that's the only time I'm using it.
    So my question is, is it okay to charge my iPod like that? I've been noticing that when I turn my iPod on and use it, it'll say there is half the battery left but usually when I turn it on the next day it says there is only 10% remaining and it's like that everyday.

    Yes, it's okay.
    You should let it run down completely every feew months to somewhat "calibrate" the battery meter though.
