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).

    1. What is the difference between succession planning in 4.6C and ECC 6.0
    2. Can I still use the old succession planning in ECC 6.0
    3. Is there a requirement to transfer data from old succession planning to new succession planning if we move to ECC 6.0?

  • My ipad won't charge with the wall charger

    I have been able to charge my ipad and ipod using the wall charger. Now when I plug my ipad in, it won't charge. It also doesn't charge when plugged into the computer.

    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 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.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    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."

  • Difference old and new transfer

    I will find out the fifference between old and new transfer process.
    On one hand I know the old works with update rules an inforsource and transfer rules. the new one has an transformation and a dtp.
    also I know that there are update rules for direct writing and update rules for flexible writing.
    direct is for hierarchies also and flexible is to change data before the target.
    So my question:
    I wrote that I need Update Rules when I want to write from master data while loading data into a charakter. I wonder is the name flexible update rule here used in the same way as transformation rule? or do i really have to use the old transfer 3.x?
    At least the question: What is the real difference between direct or flexible update rules and a transformation?
    Why can'T I load a history with a transformation and with flexible update rules? Why do I have to use direct update rules?
    I would be very happy if you tell me that update rules and declaring rules in transformation means the same... but i think it is not like that..

    In BI 7.0 we have DTP to load data. In transformation we have start routine, end routine and transfer routine.

    My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears..
    - Restore from backup

    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.

    my ipod touch is not responding. It wont turn on. I have plugged it to the wall charger and its not receiving a signal. I have plugged to my itunes and its not sending a signal to my computer. what could be wrong?

    Did you check the USB cable or try another one?
    Did you check the docking port for any kind of debris or lint?
    Did you already try to reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?

  • My iPod touch won't charge or connect to my computer but connects to the wall charger!

    My iPod is charging fine when connected to the wall charger but when I connect the same to my computer, it does nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! My stupid computer just gives the sound of a USB connecting. That's all! I updated my iTunes from 11 to 12 last night and I haven't connected the iPod to my computer in a while so I don't know when exactly it seized to connect properly. I can't risk going into recovery and requiring to connect to the computer to restore a backup too! What should I do?

  • HT1384 My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    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 :(

    just got a ipod 7th generation and having some difficulty copying tunes from 5 generation to new ipod; cant seem to sync old with new. any suggestions?

    Plug your iPod in and when it appears in iTunes, click on it from under Devices in the left hand pane.  This brings you to the Summary tab.  Locate and click on the Music tab.  What configurations do you have made from under this tab?  Is your iPod configured to sync those playlists?

  • Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    I searched for docs and specs but can't seem to come with anything. Does the wall charger for a 17" macbook pro work on my new Macbook Pro?

    Well, obviously you have NO faith in me or you wouldn't ask.
    Go to the Apple Store online. Search for laptop power products and look for Apple's replacement AC adaptors. One is the 60 watt model for MacBooks. The other is the 85 watt adaptor - now read this very carefully because it's in smaller, lighter print - which says for 15" and 17" MacBook Pros. Will you take Apple's word?
