Is it possible to play the iPod while charging it?

Is it possible? I am a dj and I use my iPod as a music source, but I need it to play for at least 4 hours.
Is it possible to use a power adapter to charge, and still be able to play music while charging?
If so, which accessories would be needed?
Thanks!

Yes, I do this all the time.
You need a USB power adapter that connects an AC outlet to your USB cable and then to your iPod.
You can get one from Apple here:

Or get one from other manufacturers (I have one from Griffin, my wife has one from DLO). Check the prices.

Hi Bev076,
I would try these ideas first:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

If that doesn't resolve the situation, I would suggest reporting it:

In itune did you play any of the songs downloaded. If so plug your ipod back in an manualy check off to sync all music. If that doesn't work you might have to restore the ipod.

Was playing the Ipod and it went black and now won't turn on

was playing the IPod touch with camera and it went black in the middle of a game ans now won't turn on.

After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If it now works you are done.
- Connect it to the computer. If it appears in iTunes restore the iPod
- If not seen, see if placing he iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

To give you something, I need something too, like
How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
What do you see on the iPod screen?
My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
Have a nice day!

Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

Why should u not leave the case on the ipod while it is charging?

Because charging the iPod battery generates heat which may become excessive if the iPod is left in a case. If you don't allow the heat to escape, then you risk damage to the iPod.

I am aware that the iPod Touch 5g has no official date yet, on the site it only says: Available to ship: October. But, does anyone know what a possible, date for the iPod to be released? :)

Well, I recently checked apple.com, and the "pre-order" button has been replaced with the "buy now" button. This is a very good sign that the iPods will begin to ship soon! There is still no exact date, but I expect that they will ship within the next 3 days. You should get an email when they have shipped.
Take care!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
When it says restore the iPid via recovery mode, try placing n recovery mode and restoring several times.

Why can't I listen to my iPod while charging it on my computer?

When I plug my iPod into my computer (PC) to charge, it doesn't let me listen to it while charging. I have a co-worker that has an iTouch and she's able to listen to her's while charging.

If your iPod is a shuffle, it only has one connection point that is for charging, data transfer, and headphones. Therefore, it's not possible to connect the headphones while it is charging.
If the iPod is a nano, classic, or touch, it has a dock connector (for charging and data transfer) that is separate from headphones jack. Therefore, you can use the iPod (as an iPod) while it is connected for charging.

Is it recommended to not use your ipod while charging it?

We'll I've heard that using your ipod while charging decreases the batteries life, is this true?

I have not heard that. Doing so will increase the time reqired to fully charge the iPod.

Using iPod while charging..

Is it okay to use my iPod while charging? Does it not affect my battery? Thanks.

Yes, it's OK.

HT1476 Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a wall charger by Nook and it didn't work.

Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a NOOK wall charger, but the ipod touch wouldn't charge.

Likely the Nook charger does not provide enough power to charge the iPod with the screen on. You can try leaving the charger connected overnight (iPod sleeping) and see if it is charged in the morning.

My laptop and itunes is not seeing the ipod. the ipod is charging, so it sees the macbook. But the macbook doesn't see it. HELP.

My laptop and itunes are not seeing my ipod classic. the ipod is charging, so it sees the macbook. But the macbook doesn't see it. I have the most recent itunes loaded. the usb connection is fine. I've rebooted the laptop, I've rebooted the ipod. I don't know what else to do. Help, please.

What is wrong with it?

For your purposes? Probably nothing.
If you want Apple to service the device under warranty, it has to be done at an Apple Authorized Service Provider.
Look here: http://www.apple.com/ae/contact/
This is how you contact Apple to find out what to do.
