Other uses of USB Power Adapter

I have a Toshiba Gigabeat F40, which can charge through the USB port. Can I use the Ipod USB power adapter (M9837LL/A) to charge it?

I ran across a blog recently where they compared charging the iPhone via USB power adapter vs computer and the adapter charged twice as fast. I didn't bookmark it unfortunately and I have no idea why that would be as both should comply to the USB standard.

It appears to work with the entire iPod line but oddly doesn't mention anything more then 2 years old so perhaps there is some DRM weirdness going on.

I've never heard of anybody damaging equipment via USB charging unless there was some case grounding issue.
There is a good deal of experimentation going on here

  • Can't recharge using iPod USB power adapter

    My 2nd gen iPod shuffle will recharge ok when plugged into the USB port of my Mac, but when I plug it into an iPod USB power adapter it won't recharge, the indicator light does not light up, and if I turn the power on the light turns to amber for a couple of seconds then goes blank.

    This sounds like your iPod USB Power Adapter is malfunctioning... does it charge other iPods?

    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.

  • HT4341 Can I use the 5w usb power adapter for iPad mini/ iPhone 4 in 220v with an adapter?

  • HT1665 Can I use a 10 W USB power adapter from an IPad to charge an iPhone 5s.

    I have 10 W. USB power adapter that I bought for my iPad. Can I plug my iPhone 5s into it to charge?  I see that the adapter that comes with the 5s is listed at 5 watts.

    volts are pushed amps are drawn
    if a charger provide the 5volts ios devices were meant to be charged by it does not matter
    if it can provide 1000 amps making it a 5000W device because of ohms law which state W = Amps * Volts

  • USB Power Adapter for use on both iPod Touch and Mini?

    Will the Apple USB Power Adapter that charges the iPod Touch also charge my iPod Mini? The Mini is not listed specifically in the compatibility chart. 1st and 2nd generation iPods are listed as compatible. Would the Mini be considered one of these? Just wanted to check before ordering the charger.

    It's fine.  Any adapter that is 5.0 or 5.1V DC at 0.5 to 2A (500 to 2000ma) will work.

  • IPod Nano + USB Power Adapter (+ Universal Dock)

    Hi,
    I've got an iPod Nano and a USB Power Adapter to charge it. Untill a few days ago it went fine, even with my Universal Dock between them. But since 2 days my iPod only charges when I put the Power adapter direcly into the wall plug, but with my Hi-Fi installation I'll have to use it with a multiple socket.
    Does anybody know why and how to get round this?
    Thanks
      Windows XP  

    possibly a fuse blown in the multiple socket plug?? or even in the power adapter itself

  • 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

  • No DHL Here - Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program

    There is no DHL shipping center where I live but the message I got from the Apple Ultracompact USB Power Adapter Exchange Program is to ship via DHL; what should I do?

    Mine was delivered by Fedex, with instructions inside to call DHL to pick it up for the return. Well, I don't have DHL service in my area either. After calling Applecare 4 different times in one day and spending I don't know how much time on hold, I finally talked to a human, who's expert solution was for me to take it to the post office!!!!! I explained that it had a prepaid DHL sticker on it, he said he didn't know why the Post office wouldn't honor that, or maybe I should call Fedex to come pick it back up, they would probably honor the DHL sticker too? I suggested that I would be near an Apple Store the next weekend and could take it there myself, he put me on hold for another 25-30 mins to check with someone to see if this could work. When he finally came back, he was pretty sure it would, if not they could just have DHL pick it up from them, since they use them anyway. This should not be this hard. I was sold a defective product, give me my better improved product and a simple way to get rid of the one that is going to kill me and my family without me having to make 4 phone calls, be given no real solutions to my problem, and in the end I have to come up with the answer myself.....Wonderful customer service.....

  • USB Power Adapter

    Yes, you can. In fact I recommend using the USB AC charger instead of an USB port on a computer.
