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.

  • Apple iPod Wall Charger

    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)

  • 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 wall charger question..

    Hi

    Does anyone know if the same wall charger can be used to charge up the smaller iPod Nano?

    excellent!
    Thank you

  • 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.

  • Ipod touch won't start or charge in computer, but displays plug into itunes window when plugged into wall charger

        so my ipod hasnt turned on in weeks. when i plug it into my wall charger, i get the connect to itunes screen. but if i disconnect it my screen just wipes and turns off. if i plug it into computer i get nothing on the ipod or on the computer that addresses that something has been connected.. This is really frustrating me since i use my ipod for alot of school work. this ipod isn't jailbroken but just seemingly bricked for no reason.

    Sounds like a bad battery. How long did you let it charge?

    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

  • I have an iPod shuffle 1 gb in gold I got from Avon a few years back. I hardly ever use it. I charge it when I am going to use it. But now my laptop took a turn fo the worst so I tried to charge it using my wall charger and it will not charge.

    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.

  • TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

    My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

    I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1.  I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

  • My iPod won't charge on a wall charger, only on the computer. I used the same cord for both though. I used to be able to charge it with a wall charger, but now suddenly I can't. I've even used other wall pieces. Nothing seems to work.

    My iPod will no longer charge with a wall charger, only the computer. I know it's not becuase of the wall piece or my cord, since I also use the same cord for computer charging, and the wall piece seems to work with others devices. It worked a couple of weeks ago, then suddenly quit. I think it may be something to do with the inside of my iPod where the charger goes. I find it really inconvient to always have to use the computer to charge my iPod. I believe I have a three year warrenty on my iPod, but I wouldn't think it would cover this problem. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    Not Charge

    - Try another cable.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

  • Ipod wont charge on a wall socket-will only charge a little from USB.

    Dear Apple,
    I have a 160gb ipod model which i bought 3 months ago.
    Recently my ipod has stopped charging from a wall socket completely.I ve been using the apple wall charger for a time so i know its not its fault.Further on i have tried another third company's usb wall charger and 2 different cables.Nothing seems to work.Afterwards i tried charging it on a PC and it worked the first time but after that i leave it charging for 2-4 hours and it only shows 1/2 of the battery getting charged which will go down to 1/3,1/4th as soon as i plug it off.I ve tried resetting it multiple times but to no avail. I know that there have been other cases such as mine and i have tried researching it in the forums but with no sure solution.Please advise as to how i should proceed.Thank you in advance

    Well ok news flash.I went outside to an internet cafe and put it in normally in a usb and after 2 hours it charged fully and lasted fully for the battery time.This still doesnt explain though why when i used two different cables and two different wall chargers it wouldnt charge when it used to.(P.S.: I am in an army camp thus the reason i cant rely on a PC socket being available)Thanks in advance
