Is it safe to use iPod while it's charging?

Just wondering if it's safe to use the iPod while it's charging with an adapter?

Not only is it safe, using it when charging prevents using up the battery. The battery has a finite number of charge/discharge cycles...

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.

Is it safe to use the Yubi 1200a battery charger for my iPhone 5s?

iis it safe to use a Yubi 1200a battery charger for an iPhone 5s?

According to specs yes. But being a 3rd party device you are subject to their quality.

Going by the reviews (only 8 at this time on Amazon)

Using iPod while riding a bike

Does anyone have any good tips on using an iPod while biking in an urban area? I ride my bike to work and would love to listen to music. The problems are that my iPod's earbuds fall out while I ride and, even if they don't, wind noise drowns out the music. I don't want to deafen myself by cranking the volume all the way up, nor do I want to drown out all the surrounding noises -- cars approaching behind me, sirens, etc. Are there any good compromises? Or should I stick with riding iPod-less?

While riding with headphones is somewhat dangerous, I'd definitely suggest picking up some kind of over the ear headphones instead of the stock head phones. I'd like to reiterate the safety issue. A friend of mine was hit by a car while running with the headphones and volume all the way up.

Safe to use iPod (5W, 1A) charger for Kindle Touch?

I have an older iPod charger and was wondering if it's safe to use with the Kindle Touch? I travel and carrying several chargers around isn't fun
The output of the iPod charger (model A1205) is rated at:
Power = 5W
Current = 1A
Voltage = Power / Current = 5V
The Kindle Touch is rated at:
Power = Current x Voltage = 0.5*5.25 = 2.625W
Current = 0.5A
Voltage = 5.25V
(Note that the underlined values were not marked on the device but calculated based on the formula P=IV.)

Here is how the iPod charger looks:
Here is a closeup of the iPod charger specs:
Here is a closeup of the Kindle Touch's specs:

I thought so too. So as long as the potential power output of the charger is higher than the device, it should work fine? I mean, the Kindle will know to take only as much as it needs, right?
(I called Amazon and they said to only use official Kindle chargers — as they would.)

Using iPod while recharging

Sometimes I listen to my iPod while it is recharging...
Is this bad for battery consumption? Am I messing up the battery? Maybe I am shortening the life of the battery?
Thanks

Oh Cool!
Heh...then I can keep watching movies on and on...nonstop for a whole day.

Using ipod while running

Hi,
I listen to my ipod while I run but have it just sitting in my pocket while I do my thing. As a result it swings around a lot throughout my runs. I've noticed that at about 25 mins in, it starts to skip a lot which I'm sure is a result of the skip protection memory running out. However, I've also noticed the ipod battery seems to drain faster than usual after one of my runs too. I am thinking that skip protection drains a lot of battery power. Is this true?
Thanks
Mike

The iPod loads 25 mins of music onto flash memory before playing. This shouldn't drain any extra batteries because this is the normal way that the iPod plays.
Your battery problem may be the battery slowly dieing. You will get more play out of a single charge if you dont change songs to often. Uninteruppted play makes the battery last longer.

Using phone while battery is charging

This is probably a stupid question from a novice cell phone user, but here it is. I have an LG Cosmos touch. Can I turn on the phone and use it while the battery is charging or can I disconnect it before it has fully charged so that I can use it? I am having trouble anticipating when it will need to be charged and then find myself without a phone when I have to stop and charge it.

There are no stupid questions - and yours is a good one!
The newer Li-Ion cell phone batteries do not have "memory", so partial charges or "topping off" a charge do not have the same effect as with the older NiMh or NiCad batteries (and there is debate over the NiMh memory effect as well, but that's another topic!) Yes, you can use the phone with a partial charge.
It's probably better to fully charge the phone each night, or every other night if it gets you through two days. If, like my BB, it lasts about a day and a half, just charge it each night, so you start each day with a full charge.
And I do use my phone when it is on the charger if I have to; I've heard advice both ways (it's ok and don't do it!)
HTH,

Using ipod while connected

can I use my nano while it is connected to the computer. I get a "do not disconnect" message on the screen and can't seam to use the ipod itself. I want to be able to use the itrip whilst it is connected to to the computer charging but as soon as the usb cable is plugged in it stops playing.

Hi sam,
The "Do Not Disconnect" message is normal. You can play songs from your iPod through iTunes, but you cannot control through the iPod itself. If you want to charge and play at the same time, consider buying a wall charger.

38gb ipod, 5th gen for xmas.using it while it was charging, music on

it just comes up with the charging sign when i put it on saying it has no battery, but if i take it out nothing at all happens, its just completely off. pleas help!!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some cable shipped with the 5G were either initially defective failed after shart use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

Safe to use Ipod touch at work?

I recently used my ipod touch at work. They have guest access. It is stupid to worry they could have seen my email and chat accounts? Please help

I thought so too. So as long as the potential power output of the charger is higher than the device, it should work fine? I mean, the Kindle will know to take only as much as it needs, right?

Can i use ipod touch 5's charger instead of ipadmini's???I'm in hurry!!!

I'm in hurry!!!!!!!

Assuming the iPad mini is not the Retina display version yes you can use the iPod charger with it.
If the Mini has a retina display it requires more power than the iPod charger can provide. It still may charge, but will be very very slow.

OK to use iPod Power Adapter to charge iPhone?

At the Apple Store, they told me that I could use a power adapter and cable for an iPod with my iPhone. Seems to work fine, charges the battery fine. But I notice that in the tiny print on the side of the iPod power adapter it says, "Output 12V -- .67A". The print on the side of the adapter that came with the iPhone says "Output 5V -- 1A".
Wouldn't want to fry my phone battery with those extra volts.

It's not $29.99 + $19.99. They include with the iPhone both a dock/charger and a power adapter/wall plug charger. But only one cable between either of them and your iPhone. So, if you have a computer in one room and you charge your phone overnight in another room, you need another cable.
One solution is to to use some cable you already have, that fits, such as I did once, from an iPod 2 or 3 years old. But I had to use the power adapter that came with that cable/iPod, since the USB cable end was different. It said output: 12V. the iphone power adapter said output: 5V.
So, although the cable fit and the iPhone charged seemingly fine, I was not comfortable charging my $600 iphone with a 12v charger when the one that came with it was a 5v charger. I paid just $19.99 for a duplicate cable to the one that came with the iPhone, used the 5v power adapter that also came with it. Just in case. The apple guy at the "genius bar" agreed: it "ought to work" but, yeah...it's disconcerting...
So, that's the story. I now have a dock on my iMac and a power-adapter from the wall in my bedroom. Both supplied with the iPhone. Both using identicl cables.
What I would like to know, from some tech person, is YEA or NAY. The 5v and 12v iphone and ipod adapters are interchangeable OR they are not and WHY. Otherwise, we are all just speculating.
