Is it safe to use a 4G iPod charger with iPod classic?

I want to make sure my old charger won't fritz my new iPod. Am I going to damage the battery or anything by using this older charger? I used the old charger with my first iPod classic, but experienced battery problems (10 hours or less of play time, audio only, 15% screen brightness and less than 50% volume) and got it replaced under my AppleCare protection plan. I'm not sure that the older charger caused these problems, but I want to make sure...

The old charger won't cause a problem. I'm still using Firewire chargers from my third gen iPod.

    Is it OK to use with an iPhone 5s and ipad mini?
    My worry is it'll damage the battery. It charges sooooo much quicker than the standard charger.

    Who knows ,if you want to charge faster get the Apple 12w charger that is compatible with all iOS devices
    Then you don't have to ask is it safe ,it's made by Apple for their devices

  • Can I use my 160gb iPod classic as an external hard drive for my MacBook?

    Can I use my 160gb iPod classic as an external hard drive for my MacBook?

    That link seems to be broken.  It does normally lead to a solution. For the time being go to
    http://www.google.com/search?q=ipod+classic+disk+mode
    Let your mouse hover over the link until you see the option appear on the right to view the cached version Google contains:
    Putting iPod devices with a Click Wheel into Disk Mode
    If necessary, verify that your iPod has a Click Wheel.
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it is charged.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Menu and Select buttons for at least six seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    When the Apple logo appears, release the Menu and Select buttons and immediately press and hold the Select and the Play/Pause buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod will should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you are having difficulty putting your iPod into Disk Mode, set it on a flat surface. Make sure that the finger pressing the Select button is not touching the Click Wheel. Also make sure that you are pressing the Play/Pause button toward the outside of the Click Wheel and not near the center. If you are still unable to put your iPod into Disk Mode, use one finger from one hand to press the Select button, and one finger from the other hand to press the Play/Pause button.
    If you have an older iPod model, without a Click Wheel
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Toggle the Hold switch on and off (set it to Hold, then turn it off again.)
    Press and hold the Play/Pause and Menu buttons until the Apple/iPod logo appears, then release them. This resets iPod. When you reset iPod, all your music and data files are saved, but some customized settings may be lost.
    When the Apple logo appears, immediately press and hold the Previous and Next buttons until the Disk Mode screen appears.
    Connect the iPod to your computer; the screen on the iPod should say "Do not disconnect".
    If you have an iPod nano (6th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode,  verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.

  • Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad? Or is the iPad USB adapter the safest route to take when traveling with device?

    Is it safe to use the Belkin power strip with USB ports to charge my iPad?
    Or is it better to travel with the Wall Charger provided with iPad?
    Concerned about safety of the device. Thanks for your thoughts.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). 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.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    What Itunes version can i use both and ipod classic and ipod touch?

    Hello laurie0823,
    already have ipod 32 gig and just go ipod touch 8 gig can i use both on same itunes account?
    Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPods you can have synced with one iTunes account or library.
    if i hook up ipod touch will i lose all of the stuff in library or can i sync library to ipod touch?
    No you can sync your content to any number of devices.
    Simply, plug new iPod in, configure it to sync with iTunes library however you wish and be on your way.
    For more help on different ways to manage multiple ipods with one computer, see this Apple support document.

  • Using my old  ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g?

    is it possible to use my old ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g? thanks

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

    Does it go through properly this time?

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air

    Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air that comes with a 45 watt charger. One says its 14.8 volts and the other is 20 volts.

    To be clear, the wattage of the adapter is not the power delivered to the Mac, but rather the power the adapter is capable of delivering.
    Think of it as the difference between a 200 HP and a 400 HP engine; both can drive at a certain speed with no issues, the difference is what happens if you floor the gas pedal.
    The same is true between the higher wattage power adapter that comes with the iPad and the one that comes with iPhones; you can use the higher wattage adapter to charge and iPhone with no issue, but if you try and use the iPhone adapter to charge the iPad it may work, but it will take much, much longer.

  • When using USB input iPod classic won't read in new car

    Just bought a new car with a factory iPod ready stereo system. When using the USB input iPod Classic won't read but son's iPod touch does. Anyway I can fix this? I know my Classic works fine as I was using it in my other car and it works in my wife's car. Is the car just too new therefore making my Classic incompatible and soon to be obsolete?

    the best option is to contact the car manufacturer or look at the manual to make sure it supports your ipod verision. if it is a custom radio then look then contact the manufacturer or look at the manual for same thing. you can try a reset with http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320.

  • Using my 160Gb iPod Classic as ext back-up drive

    I'm wanting to use my ipod classic as my external back-up since I have 100Gbs of space remaining after sync of my 33 Gb of music/video/audiobook/photos.

    Click here and follow the instructions. Note that content on an iPod can easily be lost and it shouldn't be used as a backup device.
