Updated software-do I need to buy a wall charger????

I only have a usb cable to charge my ipod by. Itunes asked me if I wanted to update the software-I clicked yes, but then, after it was done, it told me that I needed to unplug it from my computer and put it in the wall charger-and it will not do anything but show me a picture of a plug and a wall-if I try to reset it, it shows a pic that shows that it is not charged! I have hunted around the apple site, but cannot find anything that addresses this.
do I need to go and buy a wall charger?
Is there another way to take care of this (preferable at the moment!)??
HELP!

it IS plugged in through the computer!
Yes, but not via a firewire port as was mentioned.
When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see this icon displayed.
It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.
No power adaptor? Try this.
Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process.
You need to do this because you have (according to your signature) a 4th gen iPod. This is not an iPod Classic (which is the forum you are posting in).

Do I need to buy a transfer charger if I bring my IPAD MINI from US to UK? Or can I just bring the original charger to UK?

I bought the ipad in US. And I will go to UK fr some days. I'm afraid the charger in UK can't fit my ipad. So do I need to buy a tranfer charger to fit it or just use my pringinal one ?Thx

since the electrical outlets are different, all you need to do is purchase an adapter that will fit over the existing plug. It will charge fine

Check car manual to see if it supports charging ,some do not
or use a USB 12 volt plug in for the "cigarrette lighter" socket and plug into that ,probably a better solution

Where can I buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch?

Does anyone know where I can buy a wall charger for a third generation iPod Touch? I am giving this iPod to my father because I want to buy myself a fifth generation iPod Touch for my birthday. Could I just get an iPhone 3GS or iPhone 4 or 4S wall charger and use that? I used my brother's iPhone 3GS wall charger, when I was visiting him out of state, and it worked just fine.

Any wall charger with a USB port will work. You can go to Target or BestBuy and other places too. An iPhone charger is fine.

I don't understandwhy i need to buy a new charger cable for my iphone 5 every week. why can't you make a normal cable, that doesn't stop working? i csn't spend so much money on buying new cablesall the time.

these cable are so delicate that after one week of use they break down. i can't spend all my money on buying them. moreover, last week it broke down on saturday eve so i was stuck untill tuseday without a phone.
i have to say that this compan is so rude, and it took me like an hour to sign in and write this complain, and i'm not even sure if it's the right place to wright this sort of things.
apple's customer service is the wort customer service in the world.

I don't understand why you need to buy a new one every week. I've had my iPhnoe 5 for almost a year, never had a problem with the cable. In addition, your phone is can't be more than a year old. Therefore, unless you're damaging them, your cable is under warranty and Apple will replace it. Perhaps you should have tried actually availing yourself of Apple's customer service before complaining about it.
Best of luck.

I bought my Macbook in the US but will be traveling to the UK this summer. Do I need to buy a new charger/adapter?

I purchased my MacBook 3 years ago in the US. I will be in the UK for 8 weeks this summer. Can I use the charger that came with the laptop when I bought it? Do I need to purchase a new charger or some sort of adapter?
THANKS!

The AC adaptor will auto-switch. But you will need a plug adaptor such as the one in the World Travel Kit from Apple or from the travel area of a department store or a AAA travel center.

My ipod touch has software 2.2.1 but all the apps now require newer software. It won't update because it says it's the up to date software. do i need to buy a new ipod touch?

I can't update my ipod touch software because when i check for updates using itunes it says the software is up to date. Does this mean i have to get a newer ipod touch or is there a way to manually update the software to the newer versions?

You probably have a 1G iPod. See here:

The 1G can go as far as 3.1.3. You can purchase that update here. You may have to use another browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

How do I update to 5.0 if I don't have software update in my settings?

If you are under iOS 4.x, you cant update ota (over the air). You need to plug your device to your computer and update it from iTunes.

Do I need to buy a new charger or a whole new iPod

My iPod will only turn on and charge in my truck, when I try and plug it into my laptop it doesn't charge or turn on. As soon as I unplug it from the charger in my truck it turns off and won't turn back on even if it was fully charged

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
and/or
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

I suspect a hardware problem like a bad battery.

My MacBook Pro that is running on 10.6.8 won't update software so that iTunes connects to my iphone 6. Problem is that when I go to update, it restarts the computer but never updates any of the software.

My MacBook Pro that is running on Mac OS X 10.6.8 won't update software that I need in order to download the newest iTunes software to connect to my iPhone 6. Problem is that when I go to update, it restarts the computer but never updates any of the software.

In addition to Stedman's spot-on reply --
When you buy an upgrade disk, all updates in that OS can be found on Software Update.
For instance, I bought Snow Leopard at 10.6.
All other updates have been free and downloadable. So I'm not a 10.6.7.
10.4 (Tiger) went to 10.4.11.
10.5 (Leopard) went to 1.5.8
10.6(Snow Leopard) is currently at 10.6.7.
Now, when Lion come out (the next major upgrade of OSX), I will have to pay to go to 10.7.
After that, updates are free til 10.8 comes out.

Going to England/France/Italy - do i need to buy different power adapters?

I'm going to England France and Italy and bringing my Macbook with me. Does anyone know if I need to buy adapters to charge my Macbook?

You just need the adapter kit to slip on your power brick.
