Using iPod while recharging

Sometimes I listen to my iPod while it is recharging...
Is this bad for battery consumption? Am I messing up the battery? Maybe I am shortening the life of the battery?
Thanks

Oh Cool!
Heh...then I can keep watching movies on and on...nonstop for a whole day.

Is it safe to use iPod while it's charging?

Just wondering if it's safe to use the iPod while it's charging with an adapter?

Not only is it safe, using it when charging prevents using up the battery. The battery has a finite number of charge/discharge cycles...

Is it okay to use my iPod while charging? Does it not affect my battery? Thanks.

Yes, it's OK.

Using iPod while riding a bike

Does anyone have any good tips on using an iPod while biking in an urban area? I ride my bike to work and would love to listen to music. The problems are that my iPod's earbuds fall out while I ride and, even if they don't, wind noise drowns out the music. I don't want to deafen myself by cranking the volume all the way up, nor do I want to drown out all the surrounding noises -- cars approaching behind me, sirens, etc. Are there any good compromises? Or should I stick with riding iPod-less?

While riding with headphones is somewhat dangerous, I'd definitely suggest picking up some kind of over the ear headphones instead of the stock head phones. I'd like to reiterate the safety issue. A friend of mine was hit by a car while running with the headphones and volume all the way up.

Using ipod while running

Hi,
I listen to my ipod while I run but have it just sitting in my pocket while I do my thing. As a result it swings around a lot throughout my runs. I've noticed that at about 25 mins in, it starts to skip a lot which I'm sure is a result of the skip protection memory running out. However, I've also noticed the ipod battery seems to drain faster than usual after one of my runs too. I am thinking that skip protection drains a lot of battery power. Is this true?
Thanks
Mike

The iPod loads 25 mins of music onto flash memory before playing. This shouldn't drain any extra batteries because this is the normal way that the iPod plays.
Your battery problem may be the battery slowly dieing. You will get more play out of a single charge if you dont change songs to often. Uninteruppted play makes the battery last longer.

Using ipod while connected

can I use my nano while it is connected to the computer. I get a "do not disconnect" message on the screen and can't seam to use the ipod itself. I want to be able to use the itrip whilst it is connected to to the computer charging but as soon as the usb cable is plugged in it stops playing.
nano Windows 2000

Hi sam,
The "Do Not Disconnect" message is normal. You can play songs from your iPod through iTunes, but you cannot control through the iPod itself. If you want to charge and play at the same time, consider buying a wall charger.

TS2776 I used my Ipod while at the gym one day and now it's acting wacky. I have tunes that will not download due to an "unexpected error (-50). Anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

I used my Ipod while at the gym one day and now it's acting wacky. I have tunes that will not download due to an "unexpected error (-50). Anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

looks like the gtk theme is not the problem. didnt really think it was, but the documentation was worth posting. the guys over at ubuntu look as though they have dealt with this in great detail, and have produced a few solutions, which may or may not work. i have decided to post these for anyone else who may have these problems.
Solution 1 - new user creation:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104521
Solution 2 - config file delete:
http://ge.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=724439
post number 6 here features the config file delete solution, as well as a link to another post which may be useful.
judging by a google search on this problem and the number of responses that came up, the bonobo/daemon error is quite a common curse for the users of gnome, although much more common in distros such as ubuntu or fedora.
i hope that this proves useful and if anyone has anything to add, please feel free. the more documentation the better.
EDIT:
another solution would be to remove gnome and reinstall it from scratch. (some please tell me if i am doing this correctly. thanks )
1. clean your catch:
pacman -Scc
2. remove gnome, gnome extras, and whatever other gnome files you might have installed
pacman -Rscn gnome gnome-extra etc...
3. reinstall gnome and gnome extras
pacman -Sy gnome gnome-extra
4. reconfigure your desktop the way you want.

No.

There is nothing you can do other than look for it,

Will using my ipod while plugged into ac usb adapter hurt it?

Im sorry for such a greenhorn question but Ive searched and cant find a definitive answer for nano 5g.
Ive ordered the usb ac adapter from apple (wanted a generic but couldnt be sure the newest ipod would be workable with non apple).
I dont want to destroy my ipod, if I use the data cable (is it) that came with ipod along with the usb ac adapter from apple to charge it can I also use the ipod while its plugged in that way? will it harm it?
Also Ive set my unit to manual loading is okay to leave it?
Thanks for help :O)

error still need answer, am in correct forum now. LOL Please see my original question.

I have not heard that. Doing so will increase the time reqired to fully charge the iPod.

Can I use my iPhone as an iPod while overseas?

I was just wondering if there will be any charges if I were to use my iPhone as an iPod while out of the counrty. Also, if I was WiFi, can I iMessage?

Just put it in Airplane mode and turn WiFi on. That should avoid any cellular roaming charges for voice, messaging, and data.

As far as I know, the iPod shuffle doesn't need to be turned on while charging, so you can turn it off

Using iPod as Disk in OS 9

Hello,
Just wondering if there is a fix/hack to enable the 5th Gen iPod to work as a USB drive on OS 9 Computers? I don't expect/want it to run iTunes in OS 9, just make use of it as a simple external drive. I tried reformatting it and making sure the "install OS 9 drivers" box was checked but then the iPod wouldn't work as an iPod (so I reset it) any help would be appreciated.

If you're trying to use it while booting under OS 9, I am doubtful you will find a good hack. However, if you're just running an OS 9 application under OS X, you should be able to save to your iPod if you enable disk use under the settings/preferences in iTunes.
