Updating classic Ipod w/o the wall charger

I tried to update my classic 20gb Ipod this afternoon after 4gbs of songs were missing from my Ipod and was asked to plug Ipod into wall after update. Well I don't have the wall adaptor anymore, I left it in Oregon when I moved to HI to keep items to a minimum when I moved and everyone I know has a new Ipod that didn't come with one, what can I do other than having someone send me my wall adaptor from Oregon which will take a week (I don't know if I can live w/o my Ipod that long).
I've tried resetting the Ipod with the hold (on then off), menu+select button for 6-10sec and no luck.
Thanks!

You might want to repost in the regular iPod forum. What you have is not a Classic. Confusingly, the Classic is the most recent generation of iPods.

  • My iPod will charge in the computer but not my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same sofware and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    My Ipod will charge in the computer but noy my iPod dock, my sisters iPod dock or the wall charger. My sisters iPod will charge in all and we both have the same software and generation. Why won't mine charge?

    Look the dock connector on your iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corred contacts, foreign material and cracked/broken plastic.
    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears..
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod

  • Is the Classic compatible with Apple A1070 wall charger?

    My three-year-old 20gig iPod became unreliable so the other day I went out and bought a 80 gig Classic. But right away I ran into an issue. I have a three-year-old Apple wall charger -- it is the Model A1070. The output is marked 13 volts and 0.62 amps. I have searched high and low and cannot find anything in the Apple documentation to tell me whether I can use this old charger with the iPod Classic. The wall charger being sold now on the Apple website LOOKS the same (it is model MB051LL/A). Also, the A1070 cable snaps into the 30-pin dock connector hole on the Classic just fine (I tried it without plugging in to the wall outlet) -- but I don't know if Apple still has the pins set up the same inside. Also, somewhere I think I saw specs for the Classic that said it wants 12 volts at 1 amp. Can anybody tell me for sure whether it is safe to use the old Model A1070 charger?

    My concern is that the new iPod Classic is stamped next to the port "Rated 5-30 v -- 1 A max." But the three-year-old Apple Model A1070 wall charger is marked "output 13 volts == 0.62 amps." I wish I could find out for sure if it is safe to plug the Classic into this charger with its apparently higher volatate.
    The new charger does have a different output. The one I got with my video cable is 5v 1A but since the iPod has a variable power rating of 5 - 30v your older 13v charger is within acceptable limits.

  • My iPod touch won't charge or connect to my computer but connects to the wall charger!

    My iPod is charging fine when connected to the wall charger but when I connect the same to my computer, it does nothing. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! My stupid computer just gives the sound of a USB connecting. That's all! I updated my iTunes from 11 to 12 last night and I haven't connected the iPod to my computer in a while so I don't know when exactly it seized to connect properly. I can't risk going into recovery and requiring to connect to the computer to restore a backup too! What should I do?
    iPod touch 5th gen, Windows 8.1, iTunes 12, iOS 8 !!

    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

    My ipod nano 3rd generation, when connected by usb, does not show up in itunes, does not show up on my computer, does not seem to charge by the wall charger. It just has a black screen. Any ideas for me?
    I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

    Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
    Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

    My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.

    Did you check the USB cable or try another one?
    Did you check the docking port for any kind of debris or lint?
    Did you already try to reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again?

  • Ipods req the wall charger, old and new

    Ok, technical question here.
    What is the variable in an ipod requiring a wall charger for the final part of a restore? ipod type or powered usb port. I believe it's the type of ipod (with the powered usb port being a requirement for the ipod to connect to the computer), but read below with further details.
    I was under the assumtion that the ipods required a powered usb (1.1 or 2, 2 being the better choice) port, and if it was not powered, the ipod wouldn't connect in the first place. Am I correct with this, or are there like strange multiple versions of powered usb ports?
    The thing that leads me to believe that it depends on the ipod is because that is what I've dealt with during my stint doing psychotic ipod fixing. Same laptop/chord/usb port and everything, but the 5Gs/nanos did not require the wall charger during the restore process while the old 4Gs/1G minis did.
    If it was the poweredness (I don't know what else to call it!hah) of the usb port that was the variable, the older ipods would not have required it.
    These same findings have been experienced on the brand new two day old laptop I was using at work, and my one year old laptop at home.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    There are 4 components to the charging circuit: Power adapter, dc-in card, logic board, and battery. It sounds like your power adapter is working alright. Based on your description, they replaced the dc-in card, which contains the port the rca plug from the power adapter goes into, and they replaced the battery.
    Have you reset the Power Management Unit (PMU)? See this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    If a PMU reset doesn't fix it, take it back, explain that you've replaced the dc-in card and battery and it still doesnt't charge. Sounds like you have Applecare. They should take it, and replace the logic board, as that's the only component left in the charging circuit (again assuming your power adapter is good).

    1) authorize iTunes on your wife's user account for her iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect the device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred her purchases in the previous step, your content will be in her library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.

  • My ipad won't charge with the wall charger

    I have been able to charge my ipad and ipod using the wall charger. Now when I plug my ipad in, it won't charge. It also doesn't charge when plugged into the computer.

    iPad Charging
    "The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included USB Power Adapter.
    iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter.
    When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain."

  • Is it okay to charge my iPod Touch with my wall charger on a regular basis?

    I like to use my iPod Touch at night before I go to sleep but since my computer is not in my room my iPod Touch is usually charging with the wall charger I bought (from Apple) for hours and usually overnight and its becoming that that is the only way I'm charging my iPod because at night that's the only time I'm using it.
    So my question is, is it okay to charge my iPod like that? I've been noticing that when I turn my iPod on and use it, it'll say there is half the battery left but usually when I turn it on the next day it says there is only 10% remaining and it's like that everyday.

    Yes, it's okay.
    You should let it run down completely every feew months to somewhat "calibrate" the battery meter though.

  • I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update now it doesn't even turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. What should I do?

    I tried updating my iPod touch to the newest update. But my iPod was unable to complete the update. Now my iPod doesn't turn on completely. The apple logo appears but then the screen goes blank. I've tried charging it, letting it discharge, I've tried things I found on the internet but nothing seems to be working. What can I do?

    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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
