New USB Power Adapter includes cable

I just got caught and hope this advice helps others...
The original USB iPod power adapter did NOT include a USB-to-dock cable. I just ordered the NEW USB power adapter and the extra cable. Guess what - it now includes the cable!

Did you find a solution Raf SR?
I have a similar problem. After initial (updating/restoring) issues with my ipod mini which I won't bore you with, I got it working and charging successfully through my PC via the USB cable. Then I bought a USB power adapter for when I am away from my PC. When I connected my ipod to the power adapter it did the brief "do not disconnect" thing then "OK to disconnect" with no attempt to charge. I left it overnight and the following morning it had the battery/triangle/exclamation mark symbol and I had to reset the ipod to get it to work (I did this while still connected to the power adapter).
I borrowed a friend's firewire power adapter and that worked fine. I went back to the store and swapped my usb power adapter for another (firewire power adapter wasn't available) and it did the same as the first one. The ipod still charges fine via the PC and usb cable.
I don't get it! Can anyone help? Thanks

  • 2nd gen iPod Shuffle USB power adapter

    Hi everyone,
    haven't found thi info anywhere... One year and a half ago I bought the 2nd generation iPod Mini (silver pod, remember?) and its USB power adapter, which worked with every iPod at that time.
    Just bought the brand new 2nd gen iPod Shuffle: will it work with my "old" USB power adapter, or have I to get the new USB power adapter (I've seen a new form factor around...)?
    Thank you - Best of all

  • Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

    Hi,
    my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
    Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

    indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.

  • New iPod touch 5th generation charger won't work with computers or USB power adapter?

    I just got this charger less than two weeks ago and just yesterday it started saying "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work on this iPod." It will only work on some occasions, but most of the time it won't. Other times it will show that it is charging, but when I select to "Trust" my computer it stops charging. When I plug it into the USB power adapter, it rarely works (even when I try it in different outlets.) Any way to solve this issue?

    If a non-Apple cable and the place will not take it back then:

  • Old Apple USB Power Adapter with new nano

    Hi. I have an older Apple USB Power Adapter (model A1102) that I've been using with an Ipod Mini (bought it with the mini a long time ago). I have a new 3G nano on order. Will this power adapter work with the new nano? Or will I be forced to buy a new one?
    Output from the adapter is 5V - 1.0A
    Thanks

    Since I also converted from a Mini to a 3G Nano, I thought I'd give you a couple of pointers; I probably spent a couple of days preparing my existing mp3 library (and that says nothing about videos).
    1) Make sure all of your mp3's are NOT marked read-only and load everything you want into the NEW iTunes
    2) Work on collecting/saving the NEW things like album covert art and lyrics (I sometimes use the lyrics area to list musicians/personnel)
    3) Re-construct your playlists and SAVE everything (iTunes actually writes back to the mp3 files--that's why you don't want them read-only)
    4) Only then start messing with videos, because they tend to crash iTunes depending on your hardware, OS, etc. (for example, iTunes doesn't work well with Vista). My best advice for videos is use a 3rd party converter (like Nero Recode) to ensure iPod format compatibility; don't even waste your time with iTunes for anything that isn't a downloaded/purchased item.

  • Old Apple USB Power Adapter with New Shuffle

    I just purchased a shuffle (2nd gen) and was wondering if I can use the Apple USB Power adapter that I use for my ipod (5th gen - the adapter is about two years old) to charge it, or can I only use my computer? The Apple store shows that it's compatible with the newer adapters, so I'm assuming I should be fine, but wanted to make sure.
    Also, is there anyway to check on the computer, once the shuffle is docked, how full the charge is or isn't?
    Thanks!!

    It should work... try it!

    The only indication is the status LED, it's either orange for charging or
    green for "charged"...

  • Travel Adapter and iPod USB Power Adapter

    I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but this is all new to me so please bear with me I just bought an iPod video, a World Travel Adapter kit and the Power Duo kit - which contains a power block wall charger, USB mini cable, and car charger. I was looking at the plugs in the travel kit and do not see how they work. The product data says that it works with the USB power adapter - which at this point I am assuming is different than the power block wall charger? Can someone verify this for me? Also, can someone then tell me how these travel adapters plug into the USB power adapter (or power block wall charger) so that they can be used when traveling overseas. I can't tell from the photo of the USB adapter how this would be done...I don't want to buy yet another power adapter if I don't need one, but I sure can't see how they work with what I have so far or how they would work with the USB power adapter..I would have thought that the travel kit would have some with everything that I need but apparently it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance.

    Now I have hooked it up to a PC without itunes on it. The ipods says it is charging but when you disconnect you can see that the battery level is even lower. Does this mean that I should just take back the ipod to exchange it for a working one?
    Thanks

  • Can a USB power adapter go 'bad'?

    My iPod Touch recharges just fine when plugged into MacBook Pro via USB cable; but won't turn on when plugged into a wall outlet via the Apple 5W USB Power Adapter. This adapter problem presents itself after two years of loyal service.The iPod Touch works great and the USB cable is functional. Help!

  • The USB Power Adapter of the iPod AV Connection Kit

    I am a new user of iPod and thinking of buying an iPod AV Connection Kit ("Kit") so that I can view video from TV. If I am not wrong, the "Kit" includes a USB Power Adapter, which charges iPod plugged. My question is "do I have to switch off the Power Adapter if iPod is unplugged?" Or the Dock is so smart that the power will be cut if the iPod is unplugged.
    The 2nd question is can I select a video and/or music inside the iPod through viewing the connected TV by using the remote included inside the said "Kit"?
    Thanks a lot

    The USB Power adapter isn't a smart device - much more like a charger: The only way to switch it off, is to unplug it from the A/C outlet.
    But you may leave it pluged into A/C: Nothing will happen except a small consumption of electricity.
    ad 2: You may view a video through your connected TV set, but there will be nothing like a TV menu to select it - if you want this feature you have to buy a 3rd party docking station.

  • Apple iPod USB Power Adapter - ?

    Hello everybody!
    I've got a problem with my new iPod mini and I hope you may help me.
    After updating the new software for my iPod Apple told me to charge the battery with a Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which I don't have.
    I tried to connect the iPod to my computer (Windows XP) but there's always the picture of the adapter on my iPod. I've tried to reset it, restart the computer and so on ...
    But the display always shows this sign of the adapter.
    I hope you can help me, I'd be very greatful.

    but it's already worked with my computer, the iPod worked alright, so I don't think that I need this stuff you've just named.
    The iPod will work just fine without those things.
    It's the update/restore process that needs the A/C adapter.
    Anyway, you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to. I won't be insulted.

  • Apple 5w vs apple 12w usb power adapter?

    Which should i buy for my ipod touch 5 the apple 5w or apple 12w usb power adapter?

    Apple has not said. Unless the charger has a very small output, like less than 500 mA, charging rate is controlled by the iPod.
    The 5G iPod has a 1,030 mA-h battery
    Apple says it charges to 80% in 2 hours
    That would mean a charging rate of about 400 mA/hr neglecting charging efficiency
    So I guess about 500 mA/hr with efficiency included.

  • Can I charge an iPod Classic 3G with the Apple USB power adapter?

    I have just buy an iPod Classic 3G with 15  GB (SN JQ4239GQQQF) from ebay.
    I have read that it's posible to sync it with my PC with Windows 7, but, It is not possible
    to charge it by usb.
    I could charge it with the Apple USB power adapter?
    Thanks

    With that particular model, only the Firewire cable and connection will provide power to the device.  The USB cable is only for syncing.
    Using the iPod Dock Connector to FireWire and USB 2.0 Cable
    Here is the cable you'll need.

  • I bought a usb power adapter for my ipod nano so I can plug inti a power outlet. Will this take less time to charge my ipod or same amout of time if using the computer?

    Hi, Atcandela.
    I've a Macally external fire/usb enclosure that powers up and mounts directly on to my PB Aluminum 1.67 laptop but the USB portion doesn't draw power.
    Do you mean it mounts and works OK when connected via FireWire, but not when connected via USB? If so, that's unsurprising. I would be surprised to hear that it doesn't mount when you use the FireWire connnection, because most drives are able to get enough power from that port.
    Does MacAlly not offer a cable for your drive that allows it to draw power from both your USB ports? Some manufacturers of external drives or enclosures do offer such a cable, and it's well worth buying because it's much smaller and more portable than an AC adapter. Have a look at this one from Western Digital — it might fill the bill for you.
