Using a 4.5/6V Adapter with a 5V MP3 Play

I've searched for MONTHS for an combination FM transmitter/car power adapter for my Jukebox Zen Xtra, I and finally found one in the the Arkon SoundFeeder SF00.
I ordered it online, and when it arri'ved, I discovered that it only has output setting options of 4.5V or 6V. But the Zen Xtra supports only 5V. Can I use either the 4.5 or 6V without frying or harming the mp3 player, or neither? Is there any type of adapter I can buy might "lower" the voltage if I try the 6V option?
I really want to be able to power/charge the Zen Xtra as well as power the FM transmitter at the same time. I've bought regular battery-powered FM transmitters before; and while no FM transmitter works superbly, I really like the freedom they give you to listen to your own music on long car tri
ps.
While I realize that iPOds have the vast majority of the marketshare, I'm baffled why why more manufacturers don't make dual adapters/transmitters for other mp3 players and devices so that the average person doesn't go through batteries like water.

Imporant to note it's not just the voltage that's important, it's also the rated current. The Xtra needs a minimum of .5A. If the current isn't rated this high it can cause the voltage to go way off what it should be and damage the player.
Also note that there are 3rd party adapters and 3rd party adapters. Some are good, some are not so good, and have been known to seriously damage players.
If this adapter is rated to .5A or more, then try the 4.5V setting first. The voltage tolerance on some of the players at least is quite small.

    The devices are not designed for transfer of that kind.  Use Photo Stream as suggested by another poster, or transfer photos to your computer (a good idea anyway since they will be lost if your device needs to be reset), then use iTunes to sync them to the other devices.

  • Can I use custom query in DB Adapter with Polling

    Hi All,
    I am getting problem while using db adapter with polling. Can I use custom query in db adapter with polling.
    I am using 2 tables; table 1 and table2
    Structure of table1 is as:
    File_name
    Batch_id
    Creation_date
    Status
    Structure of table2 is as:
    Batch_id
    Employee_ID
    Last_Name
    First_Name
    Middle_Name
    Group_ID
    Site_ID
    Dept_Num
    Report_id
    I have to use below query while polling to table1
    Select count(*) as NOSEXP, Report_id
    from table1, table2
    where table2.batch_id =
    table2.batch_id
    and table1.Status= 0
    group by Report_id;
    I mean, when I use DB adapter to poll table1, I have to use above query.
    Can you Please suggest on this.
    Thanks in advance.

    I will check for existance not based on Primary key but based on three other fields in the table. I think , by default DB adapter configured for MERGE checks for existance based on PK. Can we change the Primary Key in the mapping file after the DB adapter is configured. In that case , will it check for existance based on the fields , I mention.

  • Use a JCA 1.5 Adapter with BPEL

    We have a JCA 1.5 adapter working with OC4J 10.1.3. Has someone an example how to use a JCA 1.5 adapter with the WSIF JCA binding in BPEL ?

    Hi Manfred,
    If you download the Oracle BPEL Process Manager preview on OTN, it contains 4 tutorial directories
      121.FileAdapter
      122.DBAdapter
      123.JmsAdapter
      124.AQAdapter
    which demonstrates how to define a JCA interaction (or activation) using WSDL (based on WSIF).
    The JCA connection information is encapsulated in a J2C deployed connection factory, and referenced in the WSDL Service section, for example
    <service name="ReadFile">
      <port name="Read_pt" binding="tns:Read_binding">
        <jca:address adapterInstanceJndi="eis/FileAdapter"/>
    The JCA interaction properties are captured in the WSDL Binding Operation element, for example (inbound)
    <binding name="Read_binding" type="tns:Read_ptt">
      <pc:inbound_binding />
      <operation name="Read">
        <jca:operation ActivationSpec=
        "oracle.tip.adapter.file.inbound.FileActivationSpec"
           PhysicalDirectory="C:\tmp"
           IncludeFiles=".+\.xml"
    Outbound example:
    <binding name="Write_binding" type="tns:Write_ptt">
      <jca:binding />
      <operation name="Write">
        <jca:operation InteractionSpec=
        "oracle.tip.adapter.file.outbound.FileInteractionSpec"
           PhysicalDirectory="C:\out"
           FileNamingConvention="out_%TIME%.xml"
    You can also browse at the tutorial directories to discover some more example.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can you use the I pad power adapter with the I phone 5 lightning cord?

    Can you use the I pad or I phone 4 power adapter with the I phone 5 lightning cord to charge your I phone 5 without damaging it?

    Yes, the iPad charger has more wattage so it would charge your iPhone faster then the square iPhone charger.

  • Can I use my old iPhone AC Adapter with my new iPad mini

    Just bough myself a new mini retina but was wondering if I could use my old iPhone 4 AC power adapter with it i.e. plug the new lightining to USB to AC Adapter.
    The iPad's power adapter is a bit bulky and anything so I don't end up taking a hundred power adapters on holiday tomorrow!
    Looking at the details they say:
    Old charger:
    100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.15A
    Output 5V == 1A
    New charger:
    100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.45A
    Output 5.1V == 2.1A

    Another option is that you can take ONLY the iPad mini's 10W charger with you instead of the iPhone's 5W charger. It's not that much bigger than the iPhone's 5W and will safely charge BOTH devices. It's really not recommended (& not considered compatible by Apple) to use the 5W charger to charge devices requiring a 10W or 12W charger. Yes, as was mentioned above, you CAN use the 5W to charge the mini Retina. It will take longer and the charger will likely generate more heat. Personally, I'd just take the 10W charger. It's safe and compatible (officially by Apple) with both your iPhone 4 and the iPad mini Retina.
    Compatibility for 5W charger: (scroll down to compatibility)

  • Using Apple World Travel Power Adapter with Airport Extreme

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use Apples World Travel power adapters they sell for Powerbooks and ipods on an airport express. I'm looking to use it in Switzerland.
    Thanks

    1) use some sort of USB to Ethernet converter to plug the USB device into the AE
    A "normal" USB-to-Ethernet adapter/converter merely makes the computer network capable. Useful if an Ethernet port is not provided originally. This is not what you want in this case. Instead, if you wish to connect an existing Wi-Fi base station (router), you should look for a special adapter (maybe something like this) with an Ethernet output and support for the very USB mobile broadband modem that you are using.
    An alternative solution could be a dedicated mobile broadband router (with support for said USB modem), where you choose to or not choose to use its Wi-Fi capabilities.

  • 2 times negative experience with Creative Labs mp3 play

    Hey,?I wanted to share my negati've experiences with you on two different Creative Labs mp3 players that I happened to own and suffer from. Before you jump to any fast conclusions or start drawing any parallels note that I loved the sound quality of both 5Gb Zen Micro and 30Gb Zen Vision:M and that I purchased both of them in Ukraine. 5Gb Zen Micro, my first player, was fine until I accidentally dropped it'sfrom about m above the floor. The player was fine and still able to play the music but... the screen was gone. The screen would only light up a few seconds after booting and then go dark and leave you in dark to guess your way through the menu. The sensitivity of the touch pad was way too high even at the lowest level and I often made mistakes with it. But sadly enough there is no support whatsoever in Ukraine. Email support was useless as you can't really have any software solution to the corrupted screen. I had to forget it :-(. Next, I got excited about the 30Gb Zen Vision:M. I was happy to buy a good alternati've to an Ipod but my joy was premature. After very little use of my Zen Vision I once left it unused for about a month. The next thing I noticed was that my battery is dead. The battery would not charge no matter how long I tried to do it! Not even several months passed since I purchased it when the Li-Ion battery went dead. Once again there was no customer support center to go to to fix it and there was no way to return it to the shop either. I had to replace the battery somehow. I am sure many of you saw detailed step-by-step instructions on how to disassemble the Zen Vision and get access to the battery. I bought a replacement battery on Ebay and had the original one replaced only to find out the replacement battery was dead at opening!!! I next ordered another battery on Ebay with a one-year warranty but yet again the battery would not charge. At first it would not charge and then after about 5 hours of charging it would show 00% charge but the player would shut off immediately once I disconnected the AC adapter. I gave up trying to do it myself and there is no local customer service center here. I would send it to the US for repairs but Creative has hidden all service center addresses and puts you through a very long and tedious way of reporting problems with your Zen player. I am very frustrated indeed! I don't wanna buy another Creative player and face the same problems and terrible customer service. I hope someone from Creative Labs will read this and advise the company on how to improve. Creative is losing the battle to Apple believe it or not. Apple is making tons of money on its players with poorer audio quality and fewer features because their customer service is superior. Creative is losing money quarter after quarter because their battery suppliers are not producing consistent-quality batteries, customer service support is non-existent in many countries outside the US and because many popular Creative players come with a user-unfriendly built-in battery!!!

    Hey, everyone!
    Thanks for your comments. I am in no way shying away from my responsibility in the case of dropping my first Zen. Such things do happen as you know. The point I was trying to make was that there is NO Creative service center over here, neither in Russia or any neighboring country I could go to.
    Yes, Apple does have many service centers in Ukraine. So what do you do with the product that you can't repair? It wasn't completely shattered and a replacement of the screen or maybe some chip would fix it.
    As for the battery I have to disagree. For a Li-Ion battery one month shouldn't be a problem. Someone asked who makes the batteries for Creative Labs. It's the company called SKC. http://www.skc.co.kr/skhp/en/prod/bat/03.jsp
    Once again, maybe changing the battery yourself isn't the best idea but I simply have no other option and you simply don't want to throw away $360.
    I still think that Creative should have done a better job selecting the battery supplier and especially setting up service centers locally. A lot of people over here buy Creative Zens and face similar problems. We have nowhere to go for service. I would rather send it in for repairs but Creative does superb job of hiding its technical support email forcing you to go through a web form.
    And unfortunately Creative financial performance is only worsening:
    http://www.creative.com/corporate/in...gs_Release.pdf
    I don't know how much longer they are going to stay in business. I don't like Ipods and all that hype about them but I'd prefer to have better choices and responsi'veness from Creative.

  • File adapter with QoS=EOIO  Is there any filesize limitation?

    Dear Experts,
    I'm using a File/FTP Sender adapter with Quality of Service = EOIO (Exactly Once In Order) to keep the polled order of the files.
    In the processing parameters I defined a queue name and everything is working well for small (~1 MByte) files.
    But if I want to transfer bigger (~25 MByte) files, the whole Java stack collapses and the system has to be restarted.
    Is there any size limitation for this own defined queues?
    Have you any experience with this kind of processing?
    Any comments / experiences are welcome!
    Best regards,
    Andras

    Hello,
    there are several files to poll, we have to keep the alphabetical order of them.
    It seems, that we have this issue only with EOIO. (EO works good)
    After the system has restarted, the first file from the queue was processed, but with a n error message "Could not delete file 'filename.dat' after processing: java.lang.NullPointerException"
    (the delete option is on after the transfer)
    Is there any possibility to check the mentioned "QuicSized" settings?
    I just wanted to know, if there is an "unofficial" size limit of these queues.
    Thank you!

  • What eq settings should i use for my ipod touch if i am using a car cassette cd adapter

    i have found a cheaper way to listen to my ipod touch in my new 1999 cadillac catera is to use a casette adapter that you would use if you wanted to use a portable cd player in a car (although mine already has a cd player in it)
    however my problem is that the audio for coming out of the speakers sounds a but tinny, and rough, i tried to use the eq settings (treble booster) and sound check to alevate the problem, and while it is marginally bettter now, the audio still sounds very rough and tinny
    my question to all you apple experts is that if someone wanted to use a car cd casette adapter with their ipod touch, what audio settings does he/she need to use in order to make it sound right (meaning just like if you were using speakers at home or your headphones)

    The appropriate MPEG2-DVD preset should suffice.

  • I have an hd movie on both my ipad and iPhone 5, using airplay with my iPhone 5 plays perfectly but gets stuck with my ipad 2, almost like its buffering? I just want it to play smoothly like with my iPhone. Any suggestion?

    I have an hd movie on both my ipad and iPhone 5, using airplay on my apple tv with my iPhone 5 plays perfectly but gets stuck with my ipad 2, almost like its buffering? I just want it to play smoothly like with my iPhone. Any suggestion?

    About 6 months ago I discovered iTunes was set by default to 720p. These MUST BE CHANGED TO 1080P!!!!!!!!.......So I installed FULL 1080P file on my laptop on iTunes...  When I download movies on iPhone 5s/iPad mini the file is 720p So within about 60 seconds of starting download of 1080p files into my laptop of iTunes purchases. It was at that moment that I realized it was that file my laptop has on file to sync to my Apple device...Ten minutes later when the first 1080P HD file was downloaded  I must say... The resolution is amazing... I now use this same process to install movie files from iTunes.. In FULL 1080P.. Not 720P... Works on my iPad mini also... Avatar is 5.4 GB if installed over Wi-Fi... However sync with laptop and file is 6.5 GB in size... Called Apple told them... No reply yet.... You must delete 720P files from your laptop... Look for file size in any movie purchase and you will see DOWNLOAD IN 1080P.. This will open preferences in iTunes for you to the correct tab so you can change setting to 1080p from default of 720p... DELETE any downloaded movies already downloaded into laptop... You can check file quality by right click on any movie folder and the look at movie info... Will say 720p HD... Delete to recycle bin and iCloud will appear on each movie... Now download 1080P HD file... When completed. Right click any file to verify it is 1080P HD... The sync with device...... And get ready to be upset with Apple for holding back your device for the last 2 years 3 months and 16 days......And be ready to catch your jaw from hitting the floor when you see your screen in full 1080P HD.... Apple Engineer's were asleep.....
    You will notice better pic quality... Apple by default is still sending the 720P file to the new iPhone 6 plus over wifi and sync.. howve this process above will give you full HD file for your Apple device...

  • Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?

    Hey everybody,
    I have a quick question. I work on computers fr friends and family as a hobby. I have an ADC monitor and need ot be able to hook up computers with a VGA port on them to it. Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter along with an Apple DVI to VGA adapter to successfully connect VGA computers to my ADC display? I was assuming this would work and ordered both adapters but now I have made myself nervous about weather or not this will actually work. Has anybody out there successfully done this? Thanks for your help in advance everybody.

    You can't run an ADC display with a VGA computer without a converter. Adapters won't do it.
    a VGA to ADC converter will drive the ADC display directly
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1301>
    If you have the Apple DVI to ADC adapter
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
    you could use it with a VGA to DVI converter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1310>
    It might be cheaper to get DVI graphics boards for the computers and use the Apple DVI to ADC adapter.
    <http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?mco=18 72D402&nplm=M8661LL/B>
    Your title says "Can I use the Apple ADC to DVI adapter with a VGA monitor?". If you want to connect a VGA monitor to a computer's ADC port you need the ADC to VGA adapter
    <http://www.gefen.com/kvm/product.jsp?prod_id=1299> You can't use an ADC to DVI adapter followed by a DVI to VGA adapter, because the ADC to DVI adapter doesn't pass the analog video signals needed for VGA.
