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.

    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.

  • Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd Generation?

    Is the USB Power Adapter compatible with iPod touch 3rd generation?
    (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTM3NDk1MjI)
    The specs of the Adapter ("This accessory is compatible with the following:" in the "Overview" section) don't mention iPod touch 3rd generation. They do mention 1st and 2nd Generation
    Thanks!

    Thank you, Lyssa.
    You must be right based on that article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353). The latest model of iPod touch is referred to as "iPod touch (Late 2009)" -- and NOT "iPod touch 3rd generation", as I erroneously assumed.
    That completely answers my question about the USB power adapter.

  • Anyone have any pics of the iPod AV Connection Kit unpacked?

    can i use the Ipod USB Power Adapter to charge ipod shuffle's battery??
    Thanks...

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

  • 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.

    And the wall adapter as well.

  • About the USB Power Adapter

    Hi! I'm from India. I've had my iPod mini(second gen) for a couple of months now. I recently asked my friend in the US to buy me a USB Power adapter (I'll be getting it in a couple of days). But what I want to know is that is there a voltage rating-limit on the adapter? Cos its 220 V rating here, unlike in the US. So is this adapter going to be useless to me?

    Oh, I think I have one of those (AC prong adapters).
    But thank you so so much for the clarification.
    I am relieved now.
    Thanks again!

  • Hello, I have Just purchased an iphone 5 2 weeks ago but when I look through my USB power adapter, there is no serial number printed inside the USB opening, can I know is it a fake one?

    Hello, I have Just purchased an iphone 5 2 weeks ago but when I look through my USB power adapter, there is no serial number printed inside the USB opening, can I know is it a fake one?

    If you purchased it from Apple or an authorized Apple reseller, it's genuine.
    If not, it is very likely to be counterfeit and dangerous to use. Counterfeit power adapters often bear fraudulent consumer product safety markings. It is difficult or impossible to distinguish a genuine power adapter from a counterfeit from an exterior inspection, and inspecting its interior destroys the adapter.
    From http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/:
    If you need a replacement adapter to charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, we recommend getting an Apple USB power adapter. For a limited time, you can purchase one Apple USB power adapter at a special price — $10 USD or approximate equivalent in local currency. To qualify, you must turn in at least one USB power adapter and bring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to an Apple Retail Store or participating Apple Authorized Service Provider for serial number validation.
    If in doubt, do not use it.

  • Technical Specification of the USB Power Adapter

    Hey guys/gals, do you know the exact technical specifications of the "Apple iPod USB Power Adapter"? I want to know its Voltage Input Range, Voltage Output, Power Output (Watts) and Pin Assignment, i.e. which pin is +V, NC and GND. Thanks.

  • How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?

    How do you change the fuse in a UK Apple 5w USB Power Adapter?
    Ours has stopped working and we presume it must be an internal fuse, but how do you access it as there is no 'slots' as on the 12w version?
    All UK power devices must be fused to comply with regs but I can't work out how you open the 5w adapter to change the fuse.

    This is the power adapter I have http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD812B/A/apple-usb-power-adapter
    Is it really only a 12 month warranty? Seems a waste and environmentally criminal to throw away an adapter without being able to check the fuse!?

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

    I will be traveling to Peru and have an adapter for the different prongs there, can I use the 5w usb power adapter that came with my iPad mini, or do I need to buy a converter as well for t their 220v?

    The apple charger is rated 100V to 240V, 50/60 Hz. You can use it in any country.

  • 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:

  • 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
