Resetting older ipod w/o ext. power supply

Hi...
Are there any ways around using an external power supply to complete a reset on a click-wheel monochrome (or older) ipod.
My kids keep borrowing, and losinf, my power supplies and now I'm stuck!
Thanks!
Joe

You can use the 6-pin FireWire port on your computer, or a car adaptor, or an unit such as the iPod Hi-Fi, or try this method to charge the iPod. You can also take it to an Apple Store if one is nearby.

  • Trouble reseting older iPod on Windows Vista system

    When trying to reset older iPod (Model M8976LL) from Mac to PC, was told that iPod "software update server could not be contacted". As I was connected to an active network, the only other thing mentioned was for me to check my network settings. What "settings" do I need? I am using a USB power connection cord.

    See here: iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server

  • How can I reset my iPod Touch with no power at all? It doesn't charge with the power outlet or with the USB cable...

    I realized this morning my iPod Touch was not charging. I left it charging all night but nothing.
    I read i have to reset it, but since now is fully uncharged, it does not allow me to do anything...
    I tried to charge it with all possible resources (USB, different chords, power outlet, etc) but still out.
    Should I take it to a Genius Bar?

    I would try here first.

    Then to the Apple store.

  • Given an older ipod , 5th generation and 30GB, can't restore

    I was given an older iPod, 5th generation 30GB, I can't reset or restore it using windows 7 based computer even with the most current iTunes download. Is anyon e else having trouble resetting older iPods with windows or is their something wrong with the iPod itself. And if there is a problem with the iPod, does anyone know the approximate cost to get it repaired. I can't get anyone at Apple to tell me anything without it being looked at by a 'Genius' first. I don't want to waste my time driving an hour each way to an Apple store if I would better off just buying a new one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Here's more information on error message, it just says 'unknown error' and won't go into disc mode.when following the '5 R's' in technical support.

  • Mac G5 dual won't start, even after replacing power supply

    I was having an issue with the mac starting, getting the bong and then it would run for a while and then shut down. I tried resetting pram and then replaced the power supply.  It still does the same thing.  Help.

    OK, good news/bad news...
    We found the problem, but Disk Utility & fsck cannot repair it, it's either erase everything on the drive, or try DiskWarrior...
    Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

  • Power supply for HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC

    I have a HP Pavilion m7-1015dx Entertainment Notebook PC.
    The power supply (AC adaptor) that it comes with is HP part number 608428-002.
    I also have a different power supply (AC adaptor) that came with a much older HP Pavilion notebook.  This older power supply is HP part number 519329-003.
    Is the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx compatible with the older power supply (part number 519329-003)?
    Thanks!
    Mike

    519329-003 is definitely the right part number.  I just double-checked, and that's what's written on the hardware.   If you do a google search for "hp part 519329-003", you get a ton of results.
    The older HP notebook has another power supply, with HP part number 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428‑002 608428-002.  So I know that 608428-002 and 519329-003 are equivalent.
    Is the newer notebook (the HP Pavilion m7-1015dx) compatible with the power supply that has HP part number 608428-002?

  • Power Supply blows a fuse, Ext Soundcard power outages, Time Machine.

    Power Supply blows a fuse, Ext Soundcard momentary power outages. Time Machine won't backup.
    Ok here's my setup
    Mac Book Pro 13" APRIL 2011 latest firmware. 8GB RAM. Surge Protected mains connection..
    M-AUDIO FIREWIRE SOUNDCARD AUDIOPHILE most recent drivers and powered by the MacBooks Firewire Out using a NEET Pro Lead,
    The M-Audio has 2 x Firewire Ports and I take one  to a 2TB 7800rpm Iomega iMedia Drive which daisy chains to a 1TB FireWire Seagate HardDrive and yes both are Pre Powered and formatted for Time Machines exclusive use.
    The M-Audio Firewire module can be pre powered but isn't for this reason, the FireWire Out from the Mac IS pre powered, and I'm using a good quality NEET lead that powers the Audiophile ok over the last few months. I have been warned by the manual if I add a power supply to a pre powered firewire chain I could damage equipment, I'm now running the the screen as low as possible and the backlit keys off to minimise power drain, I also use an Acer 24" Monitor with a NEET DV mini port to HDMI adaptor and it's been working great but this must be more power drain on the power supply, One of the USB ports goes to an Native Instruments Maschine Sampler Module, the other goes to a Pre Powered 4 Port USB Hub and that has been fine, it has 1 Axiom 25 USB Midi Keyboard, 2 Pre Powered Hard Discs 1 Portable USB Drive. Now the problems started with Time Machine it can't backup and I get Hard Disk Unsafe Disconnects and Failed Time Machine Backups and Now my Soundcard does the same in that it momentarily disconnects and reconnects in a second, in Settings under ENERGY SETTINGS I've set hard drives to Never Shut Down, and the Screen also, it's been more frequent, then a fuse blows in the Power Supply without tripping up my Surge Protector Socket pfft! just great, well it is only a 3AMP Fuse in the Plug Socket but it saved my MacBook!, ok checks Mains, yes it's old, and I've started using the Central Heating alot now and when it turns on it could be causing a power surge, same with the FridgeFreezer. Things i've tried, on the Seagate pre powered FireWire Hardisc I have switched the Firewire lead to its second FW port, I got no errors with Time Machine this time, not 100% it's done yet, Soundcard resets in Logic 9 ****, I do have 2 lower quality Firewire Leads that go from the Soundcard to the 2 harddrives will need upgrading ASAP, thats next, I recon its time to upgrade the Soundcard as well for a Focusrite or similar as all my M-Audio Soundcards would literaly loose there minds on PCs and Macs, flakey drivers would just drop out of the Audiophole Firewire Card, more than I care to mention, so if that happens it could explain why the Time Machine drive drops out also, hmmm, and there was me thinking if I used a Mac it would all be ok. wrong. Would apreciate any qualified input, thanks.

    Ok some updates I see, 6 in total including a firmware and security upgrades, also two Native Instruments Updates, Reaktor and Kontakt. I will be testing, this. Before the Updates I managed to peak the CPU load in Logic 9 and was only using 14 tracks, will need to bounce the Synth Plugs and drum tracks and run all the source samples from the Local internal drive a Hitachi 5400rpm drive hmmm :/ will experiment, anyway my Iomega FW drive froze up the Iomega Mac Companion is the correct name for it 2TB 7800rpm but it met it's match or was is the processor? Still sussing it all out. Firewire leads upgrade in effect. testing.. bleep. .

    Should I check the memory cards themselves? Reseat them?
    Yes.
    Memtest X or Rember to test the RAM.
    Reseat is also good.
    The iPhone 4 doesn't like USB 1.1 much.
    after the update the computer was working well, except for this freeze when ever I connect iPhone.
    I'd try USB 2.0 PCI. That's how I connect my iPhone 4s, and have connected all iPhones and iPods, to my G4.
    Never an issue.
    Can't say the same for USB 1.1.......
    The above (previous post) linked PCI card is cheap enough.
    Want cheaper, try this:

    The NEC chipset is the desired chipset, regardless of what OS the maker says is compatible.
    OS X has native NEC chipset USB support.

  • IPod blows PC power supply

    Hello,
    I have been contacted by a friend with an iPod / Windows problem - they have blown their computer's power supply 3 times while using their iPod with windows. While the iPod is connected and music is being transferred to the iPod from the computer, the computer has just died all of a sudden, and the power supply has had to of been replaced.
    Just wondering if any one has had a similar problem? Could it have anything to do with the iPod draining too much power from the USB?
    Much Appreciated

    Bad news trying this VI on my (older) Win7 notebook.
    First of all it does not recognise if main power fails switching to the UPS system (even with the UPS monitoring software installed).
    It also does not recognise the notebooks battery being charged or not.
    The time remaining display changes randomly between about 400 and 2500 even running on the notebooks internal battery and the UPS monitoring cable disconnected.
    Of course I don't know which part of the misfunction is caused by Windows and/or the UPS monitoring software installed.
    I've now tried to contact APS, hopefully one of the DLL's they installed with their monitoring software will allow to read the estimated time status left and input AC directly.
    I will also try to get more information on the installed batteries using the functions in the powrprof.dll as used in the example below. It looks like providing access to the batteries installed, so if the UPS shows up as second battery or AC adapter it might work (have to check this in device manager).

  • I recently reset my iPod touch 4th gen. (holding power and home buttons at the same time.)  now it won't let me change my wallpaper, in the photo section or the settings. Any ideas, please? Thanks.

    I recently reset my iPod touch 4th gen. (holding power and home buttons at the same time.)  now it won't let me change my wallpaper, in the photo section or the settings. Any ideas, please? Thanks.

    What happens when you try to change them?
    Try:
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • Does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?

    does the Ipod touch third generation have an international power supply?  Am going to travel in Europe and want to know if I need to use a convertor with it or if it has the international power supply and I can get by with the appropriate plug adapter.

    They are charged via your computer's USB port. As long as you have a USB charger it will work with the Touch.

  • I have an older ipod 80gb that I've just reset and associated with my iTunes account.  It's recognized and up to date but when I sync I can't download any of my music.  How can I download my iTunes library to this device?

    I have an older ipod classic 80gb that I've just reset and associated with my iTunes account.  It's recognized and up to date but when I sync I can't download any of my music.  How can I download my iTunes library to this device?

    Hello Analogue guy living in wireless world,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to sync your music to your iPod.
    I recommend trying to sync your music again using iTunes.  When you have your iPhone connected to iTunes, I recommend checking the Music tab to verify that Sync Music is checked.  From here, you will be able to select to sync your "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres:"
    I recommend reviewing the full article here:

  • Can I use the iPod Nano cable and AC power supply with the iPhone?

    Just purchased my iPhone 3G. Phone was in my pocket and the AT&T clerk neglected to put the box with the computer cable in the bag with the other accessories.
    Until I can pick it up, can I use my iPod Nano cable? The plug seems the same size but I don't want to break anything.
    Also, there was no power supply in the box due to the recall. Can I use the iPod AC power supply I bought for the iPod? It is the white brick about 3" by 3" by 1" with a USB socket in the side.
    Thank you for helping me with my start-up glitches.

    Ps. When you do get the accessories, look for a green dot (on the side where the prongs of the plug come out). If there, fine; if not, your adapter is subject to the recently announced recall of ultracompact USB adapters.

  • My ipad2 crashes when it is removed from the power supply. It  can't be reset?

    My ipad2 crashes when it is removed from the power supply. It can't be reset? Doesn't respond when plugged into my pc?

    Hrm... that may be true and this may be a function of the phone email client that Apple just doesn't do.
    No, I can easily MANUALLY delete the messages. I would prefer if I didn't have to do it twice, tho. Once on the mail server and once on the phone.
    What I think the phone needs to do is, when it checks the POP, anything NOT there should be removed locally. I think you are correct on POP; the phone will poll the mx (mail exchanger) and the mx will pass off the messages to the phone. The phone then keeps ALL of that unitl you manually delete it.
    If, say, I remove a message from the mx, I would like the phone, when next polls, to see that that particular message isn't on the server anymore and remove it locally.
    Perhaps it's just me but if I delete the message on the mx itself, via my ISP's webmail interface, I really don't want to have to remove it again from my phone.
    thxs!
    cheers
