Using an old iPod docking station charger

Does the Touch take the same charger as the original iPod 20G?
I'd like to use my old docking station to charge the Touch.
Thanks.
Don

it depends whether it uses USB or Firewire to charge. Second Gen iPod Touches will not charge using anything other than USB. First Gens should work find though.

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

Using my old ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g?

is it possible to use my old ipod classic 5g charger on the new ipod touch 3g? thanks

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get aCode 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Updateentries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
Next, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does it go through properly this time?

Would like dockable case - maybe with old iPod docking Station?!

So I love my iPhone. I need a case. I drop things a lot! I realized the iPhone will sync with the old 2003 iPod Docking Station, which is less tight. Maybe there is a plastic case of some sort that will fit perfectly in here? Is there a case that would protect my iPhone and allow docking into the old docking station? I can't find anything in the store that will fit into the new, tiny docking station.
Thanks!
Dave

I have been looking for the same thing but have not had any luck.

HT4060 Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

The iPod charger is only 5W.
The iPad 2 needs a 10W charger.
It will charge slower and hotter.

Using an old iPod as a mass storage device...

Hey there!
So, here's my dilema:
My (almost-3-year-old) iBook died on me 4 weeks ago. The logic board bit the dust and it's not covered by that 3 year logic board replacement program that Apple set up. So they (official Apple service centre here in London) want to charge me £728.50 to replace the logic board when a brand new MacBook would cost me £740.00. (If I could afford to fix the logic board I'd just buy a new MacBook!!!)
Anyways, that gripe is going into another forum...
Sooooooo.... I have an old Version 3 iPod that I want to use as a mass storage device but in a PC-based environment. So, if I re-format it for PC is it recogniseable/useable with Macs as a storage device still?
I know that PCs don't recognise Mac stuff but, and correct me if I'm wrong, I remember something about Macs recognising PC stuff??
So here's an example:
* I want to reformat my old V3 iPod into a Windows environment.
* I then want to take my newly re-formatted V3 iPod (set for disk use only) and use it to back up stuff (files, documents, MP3s) from my old, broken iBook (take it from the hard drive).
* Then I want to take those files, documents and MP3s and put them onto a new, Windows-based laptop (which I am yet to aquire).
Is this do-able?
Thanks peoples!

" I know that PCs don't recognise Mac stuff but, and correct me if I'm wrong, I remember something about Macs recognising PC stuff??"
An iPod formatted for Mac it won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. There are third party helper programs to overcome that, however Macs can read Windows formatted drives so you should be able to use your old iPod as a straightforward removable drive without any problem.

Old iPod Dock

I have an old iPod dock that i use with my old 4th generation 20GB ipod. I was wondering if the new video ipod would work with my old dock?
Thanks!

mine does...there is an adapter that came in the box with it.

Can my husband use my old iPod since I have a new one?

I got a new Nano and my husband would like to use my old iPod. How can he do this with his Mac (he currently has a Shuffle and would like to "upgrade"). Someone told me I have to connect my old one to my iTunes library and delete the music.

Just plug it in. No need to delete anything.
It will ask if he wants to sync to the library on his computer. Just click Yes.

Using an old iPod as storage for part of my iTunes Library.

I have an old 4th Gen iPod (40gb) that needs a new battery, which I plan to have repaired. I know that i can use the iPod as a hard drive, however, as my iTunes Library has grown to a huge size (pushing 63Gb), it is taking up rather more of my MacBook Pro's Hard disk space, than I would like.
My question is this; Is there a way that I can store part of my iTunes music on the iPod and the rest on the Macbook Pro? Then, when i needed the full library, I would simply plug in my iPod/Hard drive. Is this possible? and also, would it be as straight forward as plugging in the iPod and launching iTunes?
Hope you can advise me.
Cheers

My ipod (older one) does not connect to my dvd player which has an ipod docking station

i have a samsung 3d dvd player that has a ipod docking station but my ipod wont connect - i have an older version of the ipod (one of the first ones to come out); could this be the reason

I have had this happen with numerous stereos and docking stations. What I've learned to do is bring my iPod into the store with me before I purchase any new electronics. I have no idea why this happens (or rather, doesn't happen), but it does. I think Apple is trying to get us to buy new iPods. :-)

Just bought a new iPod touch 16G - I think it's a 5th gen. - I used my old iPod to record rehearsals. The new one is stating that my Belken mic is not compatible. Can I record with this new one? If so, what do I need for a mic?

Just bought a new iPod Touch 16G - (I think it's a 5th gen.). I used my old iPod to record music rehearsals. This new iPod is stating that my old Belken mic (with new adaptor) is not compatible. Does this new iPod Touch have ability to record audio? If so, what do I need for a mic??

Thanks very much! I found the app, tested it, and it sounds fairly lifelike. Big help!!

I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?
