Old Firewire Charger

Is there any way to adapt the firewire charger to work with iPhone 3G? Reason being is I want to extend the length of the cord and I want to use the old charger so I can plug it in and use it at "long-range."

There are adapters for firewire to usb. Google is your friend.

  • Can I use my old firewire charger with my iPod Touch

    I've recently got an 8GB iPod Touch which obviously only came with a USB cable to charge and sync with my laptop.
    However, I've also got an old 4th generation 20GB iPod which came with a firewire lead that connects to a firewire mains charger. Can I use this to charge my iPod touch from the mains? Also can I use either the firewire or the old USB cable to connect to my laptop??
    Thanks very much.

    You can use the firewire charger to connect your Touch to the mains. I use my old one and it works just fine. I suppose you can also use it to charge using your computer though I can't say I've tried. However, as the newer iPods don't have any kind of firewire circuitry, you can't use the firewire cable to sync you iPod.
    Best of luck.

  • Charging New iPod with Old FireWire Charger

    Hi, this should be a quick one to solve... I have an old FireWire AC Charger from a 2nd (or 3rd?) Gen iPod I no longer use, and the original FW cable. The dock connector on the old FW cable fits my newer iPods (5.5G iPod Video and a Touch), can the FW AC charger be used to charger these newer USB-only iPods, or will it fry them?
    If so, will it also work with a Nano? I want to get one for a friend who doesn't own a computer, so a wall charger will be their only way to charge (in which case I'll just by a new wall charger if the old FW one is incompatible).
    Thanks!
    (Note: I don't need it to transfer data, just to charge)

    Yes, you can charge new iPod off older Firewire chargers. Just no data transfer.
    Cheers,

  • Will an old iPod "firewire" charger work for my iPad

    I have an old Firewire wall charger that came with my first iPod (wht 20gb). It is a 12 watt .64Amp output.
    Will this work with my iPad. The iPad comes with a 10 watt charger.
    Will the extra wattage harm the iPad?

    When the current goes through the wire to the dock connection on the edge of the ipad, the devices does not "know" the shape or configuration of the connection to power at the other end. Clearly, the ipad does not interface with a firewire DATA port. However, there is an adapter cable for ipad devices with three ends: dock (to device); USB (to computer for data); FireWire (to AC wall adapter for power).
    It seems to me that the 12V 1.0A output of the old wall adapter should be able to charge the ipad. I do not have the three legged cable, but do have a ipod power adapter with FireWire only connection. Has anybody tried this alternative to the 10V output wall adapter intended for the ipad?

  • Lightning to 30 pin adapter support firewire charging?

    I've got an old iPod interface in my car -- the kind that charged the first gen iPod touch via firewire.  Will the new lighting to 30 pin adapter convert firewire charging to USB?

    doubt it as it would be as easy for the old charger to do that as the new ligthing
    when a feature is removed then it would not make much sense to remove it and then reinterduce it later on with no benefit to the producer of the product

  • Can I use my old wall charger?

    I used to have a 4th Gen iPod which recently broke. I went out yesterday to buy the new 30 gig 5th generation iPod and to my surprise it didn't come with as much accessories as my older iPod. I was wondering if it is ok to us my old wall charger on my new iPod?

    Yes, you can use the wall adapter and the firewire cord to charge your new 5G iPod. Just know that the firewire cable that came with your 4G iPod (the one that connects to the charger) can only be used to charge the iPod with the adapter, not to sync the iPod with the computer.
    But for a simple answer, yes you can use that charger with your new iPod

  • How do I transfer music and photos from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. Have an old FireWire but it does not fit the new iMac

    I am trying to transfer photos, music, etc from my Power Mac G5 to my new iMac. The Power Mac is too old for the migration assistant to help. I have an old Firewire but it does not fit the new iMac. Any suggestions? If a Firewire is the best option which one do I need? Thanks.

    You need a Firewire 800 to 400 adapter or cable or a external USB 2/3 drive (self powered) it can default to the old USB the G5 uses 1 or 2.
    Format the drive info here.

    Nope, I'm sorry. iOS/iTunes only (you need a connection to your network, and the iPod classic doesn't have network capabilities).

  • No charging over USB after Using Firewire charging - 5G ipod

    After charging two 5G ipods (30 & 60G models) with my sons firewire power adaptor (charging is supposed to be supported for 5G models just not syncing) both iPods have not been able to be charged using orginal USB cable supplied through macbook pro and have to be rebooted each time I want to sync them using USB (but still won't charge at same time).
    I tried resetting etc...nothing. My connections now gives warning that "ipod is connected to a low-speed USB 1.1 port....you should connect it to a high-speed USB 2.0 port"... Trouble is all of my macs have usb 2.0 and since using the firewire (as a charger) it now thinks they are all USB 1.1 ports.
    I have even disconnected the battery on the 30G model but this did not fix it either.
    Any suggestions?

    Yes, After 5 hours of charging on my Mac, I plugged it in a brand new PC with USB 2.0 for 3 hours. I even tried reseting the iPod (in case it is a software problem...) When I took the iPod of the PC, the battery level was still at 70% and I still hadn't used the iPod Nano. He just refuses to charge to 100% and won't accept firewire charging. My next step is letting the iPod play for a while (untill batterylevel is red) and then recharging, see if it actually charges.
    PS: Could it be that charging the Nano with a firewire adapter messed up anything?

  • My I pod touch 5th one month old wont charge. Its on charger for 2 days but battery does not move from red sign?

    My I pod touch 5th one month old wont charge. Its on charger for 2 days but battery does not move from red sign?

    Try the remaining items of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
