Universal Travel Adap

Hey I have a Zen Neeon 5gb and am considering buying a uni'versal travel adapter for it, and was wondering if you can play music from the MP3 player while it is charging with the travel adapter?

The travel adapter comes with different plugs for using in different countries.
Where are you from? So we know what Online Store you're looking at.

Universal Travel Adapter for the Zen Mi

I'm planning on ordering a 6GB white Zen Micro from the Creative store soon and hopefully getting it in time for my trip to Germany and France this July - so I've also been looking at the Uni'versal Travel Adapter in the Creative store also. But I have a few questions about it...
Since the normal power adapter seems to be out of stock for the time being, I was planning on just using the USB charger with my computer to recharge *while I have the player in the US* - which is really no big deal - but does the uni'versal travel adapter offered *need* the "regular" power adapter too, or does it plug straight into the micro and then into the wall without it's
Also, will the uni'versal power adapter work in France and Germany? (I'm pretty sure it will, I'm just asking because I don't want any nasty surprises!)
Thanks for your help, I'm a terrible n00b to the whole mp3 player thing period - but I feel better asking.

The travel adapter doesn't need the other charger also, it's stand-alone.
It will work in France and Germany.
Really all the travel adapter is, is the original adapter with different sockets. If the other adapter were available you can get this and buy a travel socket.

Help with non-Creative Travel Adap

I have a Zen Plus V 8gb player. I bought a Hammacher Schlemmer travel adapter/converter (00v-240v) with USB port for an upcoming trip around the world. I plugged the USB cable into the mp3 player, however the little battery wasn't indicating that charging was occurring.
Does anyone have experience with this adapter, or can think of a reason it wouldn't be compatible? I've received feedback that it works with recharging Ipods via USB. I'm concerned I received a defecti've unit because the USB light doesn't shine as bright as the AC light when "charging" items.

Yes, I do see the blue lights fading in and out, so that did confuse me a bit. I probably didn't leave the player plugged in long enough to verify it was actually charging the battery a noticeable amount. Another problem that occurred was the converter/adapter has an auto-shutoff if it gets too hot. When I had the mp3 player hooked up, over about 20 minutes, a buzzing slowly became louder, until the adapter did the auto shutoff.
That worried me a bit given it can take 6 hours to charge the player, and?I'm going to be staying in public hostels where the?noise would be too likely to bother others around me.

Using a Universal AC Adap

I just purchased the GB Creative Zen V. I will be traveling next week with no access to a computer to charge it. I?would like to use a digital uni'versal ac adapter to charge it while I'm away. I understand I can purchase a charger from Creative but I already have a very good one (3-2 volts/300 mA). If I can what do I set the voltage selecter to??Thanks for any feedback.?Carolyn

what about fast scrolling with the mx900 .... i can get up and down but not fast scroll

TravelDock universal power adap

Just set up my TravelDock for my Zen Micro player, and since the manuals are mostly in pictures instead of words (wish they would have more English!), I haven't found the answer to the following:
Among the accessories included with my TravelDock was a "uni'versal power adapter". It's different from the uni'versal power adapter I bought some time ago, which actually has different interchangeable worldwide plugs supplied with it. This uni'versal power adapter that came with the TravelDock doesn't seem to have other plugs included with it in case I would be traveling to another country. Could someone please explain why the power adapter that came with the TravelDock is called "uni'versal", and where the plugs for other countries are, or do I have to buy those separately?
Thanks.

...you could look up power sockets on wikipedia.org...
...they have a list of all sockets from all countries...

The Universal Travel Adapter for Zen Micropho

k i li've in canada and i bought this thing. Aparently it is supposed to come with 5 different plug ins. I never got these. Dunno why but i never did.... Where can i buy them seperatly? Can i even do this? Thanks

Leafs,
Are you positi've that you have gotten the correct package There's a Zen power adaptor that comes without those interchangeable plug which I saw from the online store here. If you're sure you have gotten the correct package perhaps you should contact the vendor/Customer Support(if you had order from the online store) and verify with them.

Charging Zen V from universal power adap

My children have each a zen V, which easliy charges from the USB on the PC. However, I did an attempt to chrage with my uni'versal usb power supply which I use for my cell-phone pda (which of course is also possible to charge from the usb on the pc) with no success. Also tried the Hama one in the shop, as Creative must be ordered..., didn't work any better.
Anyone has an idea what causes it, and what can be done?
I have one idea, that the zen V needs some kind of signal through more than two leaders, which may have been designed into the Creative Power adapters... (not unlike the apple strategy...)
Also heard a theory that the power should give enough milliamps, but I'm sure that my i-mate has more to give than the pc-usb anyway, and also, I guess the Uni'versal Serial Bus standard must also be met...
Anyone knows?

Although I couldn't tell you about the specifics, you are generally better off using the adapter from the brand of electronics you have. I was just surfing the net, and Wal-Mart has the Creative Zen Uni'versal Adapter for around 25 dollars. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...duct_id=542752?I will be buying this adapter when I get my Zen Vision M from Staples. (I have a $00 gift card from work that is redeemable at Staples!)? From what I have gathered on this board, you are much better off using a wall plug in charger rather than using the USB to charge.

"Makeshift" Travel Charger He

I'm travelling to China, Vietnam, and Cambodia 2 days from today. Unfortunately, I did not plan ahead in buying a travel charger for my Zen Micro. I do have the wall charger with only the US plug. There are no local retailers in my area that sell the travel charger, and I don't have time to order one online. Will the standard charger work in Asia by adding on a plug for the specific country I am in (ie these: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2036266&cp=&origkw=travel+adap ter&kw=travel+adapter&parentPage=search)? Or will I need a voltage converter (I believe china is 240v)? Any tips/suggestions? Thanks!
-David

If you check on the charger that you have it should tell you what voltage range it can cope with: my Zen Touch one can do between 00-240v, so yours might be similar. Then if the mains voltage of the country you're visiting is within this range, you can just use the country's plug and your current charger. Obviously, if the country's mains voltage is outside the range of your charger, plugging it directly in without a transformer is probably a bad idea.

I purchased IPad air in USA. DO I need an adaptor to charge it in UK as a regular Uk USB PLUG does not seem to work

I have just tried to charge my IPad which I purchased in USA. I plugged the USB into a UK USB mains plug but it does not seem to start my IPad charging. Do I need an adaptor as I assume the IPad is 110 volt and not 240?

The power adapter is rated 110-240 Volts, 50-60 Hz so that part is OK. What you may need is a physical wall plug adapter for the UK.

You can purchase those at luggage/travel stores, electronics shops, online, etc...

What do I need for my MacBook Pro to work in the UK

I am traveling to the UK. Do I need anything special to plug it in for power being they use 220V there? And if so, what will I need.

Just get the appropriate plug. Either a converter from Radio Shack to go from the standard US flat-blade NEMA plug to the funny UK plugs, or the fancy Apple Universal Travel Kit from the Apple Store. The latter has all that you need to plug anywhere in Europe, should the yen arise to take the Chunnel Train and see the Continent.

Noise on audio output when using the power adapter

I'm a musician and use my mid-2007 MBP 15" in my live rig. When I use the power adapter, I hear a buzz, sometimes accompanied by a slightly louder buzz that cycles on & off about 1x/second. There are a few weird things going on here:
1. The buzz does not happen all the time. That leads me to think it may be noise in the AC line that the adapter is plugged into.
2. The noise is heard when I use both the built-in audio output AND an external USB audio interface.
In any case, when I disconnect the power adapter and run my MBP on battery, the noise goes away completely. I can probably do this on most gigs, but I'm a little nervous since I run a FW drive, an external USB audio interface, and my midi keyboard (powered by USB) so I am putting a little heavier than usual load on the MBP's battery.
As I said, this may be a noisy AC line. Another guess is that it's the PMU inducing noise into the audio circuitry. I'm hoping a simple AC line filter can help me but I thought I would ask here first in case anyone else has dealt with this. TIA for any help!

I had a similar problem and fixed it with a $5 universal travel adapter. Yours might be different but here's my situation. Try it for little cost and see if it works.
I'm also a muso with an iMac running external KRK speakers via USB Mbox2. Previously I had a Macbook Pro and the same audio problem. I've been putting up with a very low volume, high pitch noise until now. I simply plugged the Mac power cord into a universal travel adapter which then goes into the wall. For Aussie users there is an adapter on ebay that will allow a 3 pin Aussie plug to go into female side and has a two pin Aussie male on the other. For US users you can probably get the same although there is a 59c product that will do the trick called a ground lift adapter. Applecare actually agreed this was the best fix and confirmed there would be no problems with power supply or Mac performance. What a gem ! God knows I've looked into all kinds of alternatives that could have cost hundreds instead of $5.

Use of UK Charger in USA

Hi, I am off to the USA with an Apple 3pin USB adapter/charger, rated 2.5A, 250Volt, and a Universal Travel Adapter. Will I be able to charge my iPad2 over there? Advice would be appreciated.

Yes, all your need is the physical plug adapter. All Apple chargers are multi-voltage as the feint gray print on them states.

USB Power adaptor

I am thinking about buying an Apple USB power adapter (£19) for use with my iPod Classic in the UK. I already have a set of universal travel plug adapters to be able to use the different pin configurations of power points in other countries and was wondering if anybody knows whether the UK USB power adapter will work outside the UK (i.e. in America) with the use of my travel plug adapters?!
Is the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit just a set of different pin adapters, or a set of different power adapters? This is unclear from the information on the Apple Store site. I really don't want to spend another £29 on this kit if what I have will work already.

An Apple iPod AC charger is an universal .. so yours should be fine

I am traveling to India with my new iPad...to enable me to be online 24hrs a day to access my emails...do I just need a local sim card...also can I use a normal adaptor to plug in to charge or am I best paying for the apple universal kit....

If you have the AT&T 3G iPad then you can explore the SIM card. I'm not sure if India has the SIM network or another type. REgardless you should be able to access wifi.
HOnestly, if I were traveling I'd get a plug adapter from a normal retail store. You can get a good one for $20 or less at your local retailer, Walgreens, Walmart, Target, probably KMart though I've not looked for them there. Best Buy and the office supply stores may also have them. You don't have to pay for the official one unless you want to. (I have 'over the counter' plug adapters so if I traveled I'd use what I have not buy another)
