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.

ipod video Other OS
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

Apple iPod USB Power Adapter - ?
Hello everybody!
I've got a problem with my new iPod mini and I hope you may help me.
After updating the new software for my iPod Apple told me to charge the battery with a Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which I don't have.
I tried to connect the iPod to my computer (Windows XP) but there's always the picture of the adapter on my iPod. I've tried to reset it, restart the computer and so on ...
But the display always shows this sign of the adapter.
I hope you can help me, I'd be very greatful.

iPod mini Windows XPbut it's already worked with my computer, the iPod worked alright, so I don't think that I need this stuff you've just named.
The iPod will work just fine without those things.
It's the update/restore process that needs the A/C adapter.
Anyway, you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to. I won't be insulted. -
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?

Old iPod USB Power adapter ok for iPhone?
Hey folks,
Is the old-style iPod (classic) USB power adapter ok to use with the iPhone 3G? I wish I could post the picture of what it looks like ...
It's that 1.5" x 1.5", white, biscuit jack-looking plastic adapter with retractable power prongs on one end, and the female USB port on the other. Plugged my old 60GB iPod dock cable in to the USB end, and the adapter to a wall outlet and viola ... AC power / charging ...
Was wondering if I can do the same with my iPhone 3G dock cable?
Thanks!Yes, that will be fine.
All of the old USB charging accessories will work for the iPhone just fine. The firewire ones, however, will not. -
1st of all thx for answering my last question, now i wonder if there is any thrustable on-line store in the united states that sells the accessory usb power adapter to other countries (brazil actually)
because this accessory costs 29 dolars in us and 110 dolars in brazil and it's not worth that much...i am sorry, but your answer was neither of them, apple store brazil sells it for 110 dolars and i already said i'm not gonna pay that much on that accessory

Apple iPod USB Power Adapter? how many miliamps?
i read that the 5th gen ipod vid. likes to have 1000 milliamps for recharging, and then even a little more. does this adapter provide that much or is it just like pluging into the computer via usb2 (which i read only provides 700milliamps)?
I think he was only correcting your 700 ma statement.
Here is the adapter page.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60939
I am interested in where you read the recharging current the 5G iPod likes to have? The amount of current only changes the amount of time used to charge an iPod. As long as the minimum is supplied (that the internal charge circuit requires) it doesn't care what you do. A wall charge usually means it will charge faster because more current is being output in most cases.
In this case a USB 2.0 port supplies 500 ma and a USB Wall charger supplies 1 amp. They both work fine since I use both for my 5G iPod.
This is speculative from my knowledge of charge circuits we used in engineering design. Without knowing the exact specs of the charger circuit and a schematic I can't tell more than that.

Can AX act as an iPod "USB Power Adapter"?
Can the AX be used to charge an iPod via the USB port on the AX?
Thanks...You can use an Airport Express to charge an iPod Shuffle, but I am not sure if you can charge other (especially older) iPods.

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

Will iPod Shuffle 2nd Gen work with 1st Gen USB Power Adapter?
Hi.
I have the iPod USB Power Adapter (M9837ZM/A) and was wondering if it will also work with the iPod shuffle 2nd Gen?
Mine only lists the original shuffle (naturally) and I just realized that Apple apparently re-designed the USB Power Adapter (MB051LL/A), which does list the 2nd Gen shuffle (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=E82 45892&nplm=MB051LL/A).
Does anyone know if I can use my power adapter with my new 2nd Gen shuffle?
Thanks!Will I be still pleasantly surprised when my iPod is fried?
So, what you're saying is, that whatever happens, it cannot do harm to the iPod?
If that's so, i'll give it a try. -
2nd gen iPod Shuffle USB power adapter
Hi everyone,
haven't found thi info anywhere... One year and a half ago I bought the 2nd generation iPod Mini (silver pod, remember?) and its USB power adapter, which worked with every iPod at that time.
Just bought the brand new 2nd gen iPod Shuffle: will it work with my "old" USB power adapter, or have I to get the new USB power adapter (I've seen a new form factor around...)?
Thank you - Best of all

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.
Firewire chargers do not work

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

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.
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. -
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.

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.
