Is it OK to charge the ipod battery with a firewire cable?

I find I can connect my 60GB black ipod photo/video via a firewire cable to an electric plug that came with a prior ipod and plug it into an outlet to charge it.
But is this OK to do or can it cause some problem with the ipod?
5th gen. iPod   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

It's ok and works fine.

  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • Using G5 iPod Video with older Firewire cable

    I have an older iPod, the 15GB model that used the Firewire cable with the dock connector, but I just purchased a new 60GB iPod Video. It comes with an USB cable and not a firewire one, but I already have the power brick and stuff that uses my Firewire cable. Can I use my older cable with my new iPod Video eventhough it warns me when I plug it in?

    You can use the firewire cable to charge the new iPod, but you can't use it to sync content onto your new iPod.
    The power brick with firewire cable will charge the new iPod without any problems at all.

  • Fully charged the ipod works for 2 mins, and then shuts down, why?!

    Fully charged the ipod works for 2 mins, gives the battery warning and then shuts down. I took it to an apple store, they said battery is fine, restored ipod to original settings and it still wont work! Help!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. This time be more persistent.

  • After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    after updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod.  It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

    Try:
    - Reset the dock
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
    Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

  • Can i use my blackberry torch charger to charge my iPod4s? The charger looks very similar to the 5W USB power adaptor that Apple sells to charge the iPod?

    can i use my blackberry torch charger to charge my iPod4s? The charger looks very similar to the 5W USB power adaptor that Apple sells to charge the iPod?

    Actually, the bb charger is a 5V, 750 mA charger (which would make it a 3.75W charger vs the 5W that Apple sells for the iPod). Therefore, I would think that my bb charger should work for both bb and iPod, but would charge the iPod at a slower rate, with little harm done to the gadget, but I defer to any opinion that would suggest otherwise?

  • I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging ) the green battery light is on - soon after it turns orange and then red. Is there a problem with the battery and is it fixable?

    I have a second generation shuffle and even though (after charging) the green battery light is on it soon turns orange and red. Is there a problem with the battery and if so is it fixable?

    If it's a 2nd gen shuffle, it is probably about six years old at this point.  The cause is likely to be a worn out battery that is no longer able to hold its charge for very long.
    It is technically fixable.  This web site has repair guides
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Shuffle
    But it is very small, so you need to be good at doing such things.  The cost to have a repair shop do the work is likely to be uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50), which has more features (and possibly double the storage) plus a one-year warranty.

  • Can the ipod battery be damaged by freezing temperatures?

    can the ipod battery be damaged by freezing temperatures?

    From the "Tips and tricks to get the most out of your iPod's battery" article found at...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61434
    It says...
    Keep iPod at room temperature
    iPod's battery works best when iPod is at room temperature, generally near 20° C, but you can use iPod anywhere between 0° to 35° C (about 32° to 95° F). If you have left iPod in the cold, let it warm up to room temperature before waking it from sleep. Otherwise, a low-battery icon may appear and iPod will not wake from sleep. If after warming up, iPod does not wake from sleep, connect the power adapter, and press the Menu and Play/Pause buttons until the Apple logo appears.
    which doesn't really address what happens if you freeze the iPod when not being used, but clearly you shouldn't run the iPod when it is at freezing temperature.

    Yes, the Lightning cables do fail sometimes. They are covered by the same one-year warranty as the iPod

  • How can I sync the ipod touch with windows 7 64 bit

    How can I sync the ipod touch with Outlook on windows 7 64 bit?

    I'm having the same problem with Windows 7, iTunes has been spotty about recognizing my iPod Touch. Now that I've updates Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (June 2011), It won't complete a sync or a restore at all on either of my Windows 7 computers.
    I have gone through every troubleshooter action recommended by Apple Support, and have not been able to improve the situation at all.
    I took my Touch to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store after trying and failing to complete a restore while troubleshooting, and it restored just fine from a Mac.  Unfortunately, it now gives me an error meesage (Incompatible device) half way through an attempted sync, or iTunes simply freezes.
    I even tried removing the Windows SP1, but that was a mess, as my display went all whacky and iTunes crashed immediately upon startup.
    The Windows 7 OS ***** in general, particularly with compatibility issues, and not just for Apple products.
    Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
    I'm so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this issue that I'm going to throw it all out the window!

    This will also make a good reading.

    As output voltage is correct, charging is safe. It will charge about twice as fast as compared to its own charger.
