Using an iPod Classic USB cable on an iPhone 4S

Can you use an iPod classic (1st generation) USB (1.0) cable to charge the iPhone 4S? Is there any effects in doing this? I wanted to use this as an extra charger for my USB car charger.

I don't know... Just use the USB cable the nano comes with.

IPod Classic USB Cable for iPhone charger?

Can I use the USB cable of my iPod classic or any iPods to charge my iPhone?

Your current car charger for the original iPhone will never work with the iPhone 3G because the firewire pins were removed from the iPhone 3G dock port at the bottom.

Can I use my Ipod Classic(MC297ZP) with Sound Kick SFQ-04 via bluetooth

If you old charger is a USB (+5V output) it will work. If it is a Firewire charger (+12V) then I think it will still work, but Apple has removed Firewire charging from most of the new iPod lines including the iPhone and 4th Generation Nano. However I think that the 120GB Classic may be the last iPod to still charge off Firewire chargers.
It won't hurt anything to try it. If it doesn't work, you will get a screen display that states that the accessory is not supported or something to that effect.
Good luck,

IPod Firewire/USB cable

A friend gave me his old iPod Version 1.5 10 GB touchscroll which was manufactured in 2002. He didn't have the cable that I need to connect to my USB port on my PC. I haven't been able to locate one on eBay or know anyone that has one. Does anyone know where I can obtain one? Most electronic stores do not have such accessories to purchase and the ones I have found have a dock connector plug, which I don't need.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You have a second generation iPod. As b said, you need a Firewire connection on your computer to use that iPod. USB cannot be used. If you do not have a Firewire port on your computer, you should get a Firewire card such as the Adaptec Fireconnect 4300 (for desktop PCs) or the Adaptec Fireconnect 1430 (for notebook PCs). You will also need a 6 pin to 6 pin Firewire cable which should be available in most computer shops.

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a few weeks ago, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But wont work anywhere now

After using my iPod classic in my infinity G35 a for the last few weeks, I took it out of the car and it no longer works. Just a white screen with the web address for Apple iPod support. Worked fine when hooked up to iPod jack in car. But won't work anywhere now. I tried re-setting but has not worked. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features

I want to use my IPOD Classic 160gb for notepad entries in addition to the music and books I listen to. It is set to "Open ITunes when connected to computer" and "manually manage music and videos". How can I do that without losing some of the features of those two? I just want to add a feature. Thanks

Settings>Store (or iTunes & App Stores if you are running iOS6)>Apple ID. Tap your son's ID and sign out. Sign in with your ID and password.
You shouldn't lose the music, but if you try to update any apps that you bought with the family ID, you will have to use that password that is linked with that ID in order to update.
Avoid downloading past purchased content with the old ID if you can since you will associate the iPad with the old ID for 90 days and you will lock yourself out of your own, new ID for that period of time. Read more about associated devices in iTunes here.

I'm using my iPod classic as hard drive to transfer the music to my reinstalled computer but the file "iTunes" is missing. Where is it and how can I get it back?

I had a virus on my Windows Vista PC so I had to reinstall the whole system. With this I also got an upgrade to Windows 7. Now I want to use the iPod classic to put the music back on the PC. According to the explanations on Apple support you have to drag the iTunes file on the iPod to the My Music file. Unfortunately there is no iTunes file on the iPod. It does work fine though and I can listen to all the music. I have to say that before I deleted the hard drive fro the PC I forgot to switch the iPod to manual sync. It was psooible though to do that with the new installed iTunes without erasing the music on the iPod. Can anybody help? I really wouldn't like to loose the countings and playlists.
Thank you

Yes you have a one year warranty from the date of purchase from Apple. Go to this link and on the bottom right hand side it will ask you to enter your serial number and will tell you if you are still under warranty. http://www.apple.com/support/
If you are you can take it to a Apple store, or request service online here http://depot.info.apple.com/ipod/
If it is out of warranty you can google a third party service provider and get it serviced out of warranty. There are two that I know of that provide free diagnostic service. You only pay for shipping and they will tell you what is wrong and what it will cost to fix. They are ifixipodsfast.com and ipodmods.com but there are others also (I just have no experience with them) Good luck and as was stated it should charge from your usb. and just for grins, look at the docking connector on your ipod and see if there is any obstruction that is obvious.

"It" being the iPod Classic I assume.
The iPod Classic does not have Bluetooth.
If the Bose wireless function is Bluetooth, then you could by a Bluetooth transmitter, designed for the Apple 30-pin dock connector. That takes the output from the iPod and sends it via Bluetooth. Power for the transmitter is taken from the iPod.

Can I use a compatible Nokia USB cable?

It seems like an obvious question, but I want to avoid making a fatal mistake!
Please note: the only reason I wish to do this is for convenience (1 cable permanently attached to my pc/ 1 cable permanently attached to charger).
I can see the Sony & Nokia micro USB cables are "identical".
I have plugged in my Sony charger plug to the electricity with the Nokia micro USB attached.
When I then connect it to my Sony z1 the device appears with a message “Go Connect”…
I have not continued until I get some advice please.
Should I initiate “Go Connect”?
Should the Nokia USB cable work? [note: as I am only attaching the cable to the Sony charger plug, then the voltage should be controlled by the Sony charger plug, no?]
Do I have any risks in using it? [I understand “it is recommended to use Sony original chargers”]
Will the phone still recognise both the charger with the Nokia USB cable and the Sony USB cable on my pc without any conflicts?
Would it also be ok to use it as the USB cable on the pc?
I really appreciate help – it will simplify my life!
Phone: Sony Z1 Compact
Android 4.4.4
Sony Charger plug: EP880
Sony USB/ charger cable: EC801 [micro USB data cable]
Nokia cable: CA179 [micro USB data cable]

A cable is a cable - Some cheap and some not - The use of a standard fit is to stop manufactures claiming part of the market for themselves however there are some manufactures that are exempt - So yes the cable will be fine - If using it froma mains plug then the output should not exceed 5v and 1.5a or 1500ma

TA26689 can ipod classic be charged with the iPhone's or iPad's charger?

There shouldn't be any issue using one of those chargers. When I need to charge something, I just connect to any 30-pin connector/charger that's closest.

Can I connect an external dac to my ipod using a dock to usb cable?

I have an ipod Classic loaded with Apple Lossless copies of my cd collection. I connect the ipod to a Headroom Little headphone amp and drive a pair of Grado SR60s. I use a cable that goes from the dock connector to RCA stereo pair to avoid the volume pot in the 3.5 mini connector. Can I connect a DAC such as a Musical Fidelity V-DAC or a NuForce uDAC2 between the ipod and the amp to get an improved digital/analog conversion?

I also have a Classic 30GB. Got a new CD player with good DAC and usb port. But it says my ipod software isn't up to date. It is!
So to add to your question, how can I update my ipod so it will work with a 2011 DAC?
