Swapping Power Adapters while using mini iPod with Belkin TuneFM

I recently purchased the Belkin TuneFM so that I could listen to my iPod through any FM radio. The TuneFM comes with a car charger so that I can charge my iPod while I am driving, however when I am at home I cannot use the normal usb cable because the TuneFM attaches on the bottom of the iPod where you would normally attach the USB cable.
Here is what I have:

My question is that I noticed that my Motorola Phone Charger has the same size plug as the TuneFM car charger, however the car charger can only be used in the car, and my phone charger can connect to a normal outlet. Will I damage my iPod if I use my phone charger to charge my iPod with the TuneFM attached or should it be ok?
I want to think it will be ok, because my phone charges normally in my car and in the house, so wouldn't the iPod work similarly? I also plugged it in momentarily and the iPod did show it as charging, but I didn't want to risk it so I immediately took it off. Thanks.

This is getting more and more irritating to me, the more I read about it.
I just bought the new Yamaha docking jack for the input to my brand new current technology RVX3800 receiver. This will play the iPhone but not charge, just like all the other recently purchased units, like my $350 Griffin Evolve wireless unit.
If the plug fits, we can't quit... Sorry a poor pun intended.
If the plug fits the bottom of the iPhone, it must have all the same wiring other than the old firewire points are not used. How hard would it have been to make the change as they did on the new iPods and the iPhone to the USB charging, but crossover the old non used points to the inboard USB points????
This would have allow dual compatibility at least until maybe the next generation of "i" stuff. Why even keep the same plug if the function is not doing what we need?
I have a USB power adapter at work and it has the PC plug that plugs into the white 120v adapter on the end and it does not work either.
The whole idea of the "i" family is to be compatible with one another throughout the product line. This is truly a VERY BIG mistake made by Apple.
I'm sorry for ranting on and on about this but it's really got me worked up.
Thanks for all the great input on this issue, I appreciate it very much.

TS2634 While using my Ipod with a Sony sound dock, it randomly gives me an error message of "incompatibility." Any ideas?

While using my Ipod Touch with a Sony Sound dock, it randomly gives me an error message - "incompatible." It honestly worked perfectly for an hour, then suddenly stopped being compatible? Any ideas out there? I have:
started, restarted.
Plugged, unplugged.
Tried dock with a different ipod- worked fine.
Help!

It's a Touch, not a phone, so not sure how to answer if it's a 4G... sorry:)
Inspection doesn't yield anything obvious; I've tried a soft toothbrush and air duster spray, to no avail...
The Ipod touch does work on another device; I'm still trying to figure out why it worked for several hours this morning, then get the message that "this device is not supported by this Ipod." Wierd.

Using 2 iPods with one iTunes account.

I share a computer with someone who also has a iPod and we have one version of iTunes downloaded. Although we have seperate user names iTunes seems to autosync what she's put in the library to my iPod and vise-versa. We would love to share some of the files that we pay for, but we certainly don't want to share everything. Is the best option for us to just sync our files manuelly instead of auto-syncing?
Thanks

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above which is a little out of date:
Method one is to have individual Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you completely separate iTunes Music folders and libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that any or all of iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library:
Loading songs onto iPod automatically - Windows
Choosing the update option "Sync Music - Selected playlists" allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. You can read more about playlists at these links:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
Another option when using a single library is to set any or all of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod

Using Multiple Ipods with 1 PC

What do I need to do so that my daughter can also maintain a plat list on my PC.
I have my play list for my ipod. She would like to have her own play list/ipod set up on my pc as well.
Thanks,
Tom

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
See this...
Using Multiple iPods With One Computer
Also, you can have many different playlists set up in one iTunes library and have iPods just sync from one playlist.
I am assuming you want two different libraries?
Either way, see the link for more information.

Using an iPod with Windows Me

As far as I know, you can't use iTunes with Windows Me. I knew that when I bought my iPod, but I figured surely I'd be able to use it without iTunes--with a different program, maybe, like Winamp. Apparently not: my computer wouldn't recognize the iPod as anything but a removable drive, which was fine, except I couldn't play anything on it that way. Tried the installation software that came with the iPod and was told it wouldn't work on anything but a Windows 2000 or XP either.
So then I thought, hey, I've got a semi-functioning Mac OS X at work; I'll just use that to put everything on my iPod, even if I can't use iTunes at home. Great, except it doesn't have the right version of iTunes, won't go online to upgrade, and demands a password to install from the CD. Again using it as an external hard drive, I stick something on it anyway and try to bring it home, whereupon my Windows Me tells me that the iPod needs to be formatted.
This is all making me crazy, because I paid good money for that iPod and I'd really love to, you know, use it. Is there any possible way I can use this iPod with Windows Me, with or without iTunes? Some kind of plug-in I can download, maybe?
Windows ME

groans
I finally figured I had nothing to lose--I'd just downloaded a new version of Real Player, which supposedly will work with iPods and Windows Me--and I let my computer format the iPod, hoping that would let it work with Windows again. Apparently not. Now it won't turn on--it's giving me the folder-and-exclamation-point icon. Resetting it didn't help, and I can't restore it because I can't install the software to my computer in the first place.
I suppose the only thing to do is borrow a friend's computer or something.

I have an order iPod classic (2007). I also have a Boise docking station. I can use the ipod with earphones

I have an order iPod classic (2007). I also have a Boise docking station. I can use the ipod with earphones or the computer however there is no sound when placed on the docking station. I don't believe it is the docking station as it is never moved, only I use it (older and single). Could it be a setting? Help

iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

Using the IPOD with VISTA

I have just purchased a new sony vaio, running vista. My older desktop is running xp. I had my IPOD and iTunes working just fine with this existing desktop. I just installed iTunes on the new laptop, and now want to use the iPod with this laptop. I attached it and attempted to sync, that the iPod is using an existing library, and wants to delete it and then use the new library. However, since the old library is on the old PC, it is not able to do this. It then says sync is complete, but none of my music is found on the new laptop. HELP.....

When you connected the iPod to your new laptop with the empty iTunes did you press "Erase and Sync"? This syncing does not transfer content from the iPod to iTunes, it transfers from iTunes to the iPod. If you linked to an empty iTunes it will have erased the original contents of your iPod and with nothing to sync will have left it blank.
Connect your iPod back to your desktop computer and it will sync the existing library back onto it again. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Syncing Music to iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Using a ipod with two different computers...

I just bought a new laptop and had to download itunes again but when i hook up my ipod it tells me that that ipod is already synced with another computer (my main desktop comp.). Is there a way to use my ipod with two different computers, or can you just use one computer at a time?
thanks!
Dell Inspiron 1505 Windows XP

You can use more than one computer, but you'll have to load your iPod MANUALLY if you do, otherwise it will keep erasing things to match the library it's hooked up to.

HT1353 How to use older iPod with Windows 7 & latest iTunes?

I have ipod classic 5th generation 30g that still has a lot of my music on it. My computer with iTunes version that synched with it crashed. New VAIO Windows 7 laptop can't recognize the hardware. Where can I get a driver for the VAIO Windows 7? Can I use my iPod with the latest iTunes? Will I ever be able to load new music to this older iPod?

I fixed this by un-installing iTunes. Next installed latest version for 64bit Windows 7. Opened iTunes and connected my iPod to my laptop using the USB cable. The driver was automatically updated and iTunes was able to recognize the older iPod and copied all my purchased music to iTunes on my new VAIO.
Yeaaa!

Can we use our ipods with other music services?

I have not been able to get into the music store for close to 3 weeks now, I have been round and round with these discussion boards and articles and unanswered emails to Apple... I want to leave and go with rhapsody or someone else, BUT can I use my ipod with these sites or does it HAVE to be Itunes??

a service like itunes is subscripiton based is it not?
No, the iTunes Music Store is not a subscription. It's a single-time pay; once you buy a track, you own it forever. Subscription sites are ones where you pay every month (or whatever) to listen to the tracks they make available. If you stop paying, you lose access to all the tracks.
And if you pay for a song, why wouldnt you be able to burn it onto a cd, or do they just let you put it on your pc?
It depends on the site. Not all allow you to burn audio CDs, even if you pay outright for the track. None of the subscription services allow burning to audio CD.
And do you mean napster or bearshare sites?
Napster yes. Bearshare is a Gnutella client which is just another P2P network like Limewire, and similarly consists mostly of pirated tracks, viruses, worms and trojans.
helful as eveyone has been, none of these solutions has fixed the problem!
Again, sorry, but as I said, you didn't answer the most important questions. For instance, you said you were using a corporate network, but you never said whether or not you'd addressed the issue with your network administrators, something that Toonz asked you two or three times. If your company's firewall is blocking the addresses and ports needed to connect to the iTMS, there's nothing you nor Apple can do to fix the problem.

Hi,
not sure if coincidence or the same question, but the same question got asked internally. The seeded option is required to get the OJSP filter installed. Here's the internal response
ADF View integration with MDS not configured
In web.xml, you need to have mds-ojsp intg enabled to load jspx base + customizations from MDS. In your web project in Jdev, go to ADFv project properties and select “Seeded customization” property. It would enable mds-jsp engine configuration in web.xml. If you want to use user personalization feature at runtime, you would need to select “User customization” property as well which would enable ADFv change persistence config in web.xml.
Warning: Some of the metadata under ... is packaged as part of both WAR and MAR. This metadata cannot be accessed from WAR using MDS.
For these two packages, you are including the files in both WAR & MAR. This warning conveys that since these base files are being put in MAR, at runtime they would be read from mds repository & not from WAR.

I had a major power out last night while using Lr5 Help with the below please

I had a major power out last night while using Lr5, we have power back now but when launching Lr5 i get this error and I have rebooted 2 times nows with no results. I have a normal pc, and this is the error message i am getting.......Lightroom encountered an error when reading from its preview cache and quit, so i say ok and still nothing works. i am trying to process my event photos from yesterday and i need to get this fixed urgently!!! please help

Delete the Preview Cache folder.
It is in the same main folder as the LR catalog. Usually in your Username folder.
Once delete LR will rebuild it once LR is opened.
