Trip to Europe..Charging iPod??

I am going to France and Spain in a week. I bought the USB power adapter that plugs into the wall to charge my iPod wihtout a computer. If i have the proper outlet adapter in Europe will the USB adapter automatically convert the voltage, or will I need to buy a voltage converter too? I don't want to ruin the only source of music i will have!
Thanks for any information...
PS. i know that apple makes the world travel adapter kit, but really i only need one of those adapters so i am not willing to spend 30 bucks on it...any suggestions?

Every single adapter I ever bought from Apple for iPods or laptops has been multi-voltage, so you should be good, but just to feel better, check what's written on the adapter. It should be clearly written.
If against all odds it doesn't handle it, buy a new power adapter in Europe. I'm pretty sure that's cheaper than a voltage converter. And it takes less space.

  • Using iMessage on a trip to Europe?

    I'm going on a trip to Europe and I was wondering if iMessage will still be available to use through the Wifi there for me to message my friends in the states who also have iMessage? I have Verizon by the way. If that even helps with anything.

    Yep. iMessage requires a data connection, either WiFi or 3G.

  • Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

    do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

    None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt.  You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts.  Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
    All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

  • Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)

    Can I use my Samsung Wall USB charger to charge iPod Nano (6th gen)? (output is 5.0V, 0.7A)
    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Charger-Detachable-ETA0S20JBE-ECC1DS2UBE/dp/B004R0 5W1G
    My biggest concern is that it will fry the circuitry. I don't know what the Amp output is on the Mac-branded wall charger, but I think that USB 2.0 usually only goes up to 0.5A.

    Quick answer is: You can if it works, but it is not recommended.
    Hope this helps.

  • Charging iPod with accessories?

    It seems my new iPod Nano only charges via my pc connection (USB). When I connect it to my car/radio adapter and/or bose docking station, I get a message that says 'accessory does not support charging'..
    Why is this? Must I purchase a special adapter? My older (much older) ipod charged just fine in accessories.??..

    Don't know why that site would give you problems, that is the manufacturers site and I get not popups, warnings or anything when going there. Perhaps a problem on your computer? You can also buy the adapter at the Apple Store.
    Many older accessories continued to charge iPods through the Firewire pin (number 29 on the dock in case you are interested) even though Apple discontinued FW file transfer with the demise of the iPod mini, which is a few years ago. Succeeding iPods could be charged through the 5V USB pin or the FW pin up until the latest batch of iPods/iPhone which repurposed the pins on the dock connector and no longer include circuits for FW charging. Supposedly Apple informed licensed accessory makers that this would occur more than two years ago.

  • Using Airport Express to charge iPod?

    So I plug it into the wall and use the USB cable to hook it up to the iPod... yet there is no charge. From what I've read online, older versions of the APE were able to charge iPods. Has Apple changed something so that they no longer charge, or do I have a defective unit?
    Thanks.

    +do I have a defective unit?+
    don't think so. i can't even get my USB light such as this going. the AE works perfectly, though

  • HT1476 Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

    Can i use wall power charger 5v 1A to charge Ipod touch5 or only via usb?

    5volt 1amp charger is standard for charging the iPod (5watts). Using a USB port can take longer because the charging current can be somewhat less than 1amp. So you are better off using the wall charger.

  • MacBook doesn't charge iPod shuffle

    The only way to charge iPod Shuffle is by connecting it via USB port to your computer. So I wonder why on earth my MacBook is not capable to charge it while it is shut down let alone when it is put to sleep! If a battery can be charged in aforementioned situations so should the iPod Shuffle.
    where can I report such incompatibility or where can I put a suggestion for Apple people to work it out?

    Did you download any programmes like
    caffeine to prevent your macbook from sleeping after
    the display has been closed?
    No. It gives every indication that it is sleeping normally: pulsing front light, becomes cool to the touch, wakes when lid opened or key pressed, doesn't do anything strange when awakened. I also haven't used pmset to change the sleep setting from default; it pauses before the sleep light pulsates as if it's writing the sleep image to disk.
    As a matter of fact, it continues to provide power with two different pads. The cheap inline switch on the pad failed and I had it replaced under warranty. The second unit has the same behavior.

    If all your ports are in use, try buying a USB hub, they are inexpensive and will give you several more ports.  Google for them.

  • My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

    My iphone4s won't charge while being plugged into any charger/ iPod dock

    If the iPhone won't charge when connected to the power adaptor that was included with the iPhone, the same when connected to your computer, and no change when connected to any charger, do you have access to another cable to rule out a problem with the cable being used?
    If no change with a known good cable, there is a hardware problem with the iPhone.
    Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby.
