Wall charger and travelling to Europe

I've got a 5G video ipod. I'm about to go to europe and need a wall charger to charge my ipod as i won't have a laptop with me to charge it via usb port.
With my old 2G ipod, the apple wall charger converted the 220V in Europe nicely . Should I purchase the apple branded wall charger to get the same benefit for the 5G? or do all the companies' chargers do the same (i.e. belkin, etc)

You would need to check the packaging or the manufacturer's website for any third party charger you get to be sure they will work internationally, a lot of them do. The Apple iPod charger works at voltages anywhere between 100 and 240 volts, so no other adaptor is needed. If you have a look on Amazon, you'll get lots of chargers including the Apple one: iPod chargers

    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.

    Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

  • My IPad1 has completely shut down. It has no power. I have tried a restart and a reset with no results. I have tried charging through the keyboard dock, the wall charger and my Macbook Pro with no results. Is this a complete battery failure?

    My IPad 1 has lost complete power. I have attempted a restart and a reset without results. I have attempted to charge with the keyboard dock, the wall charger and connecting to my MacBook Pro. Again no results just a black screen. Is this a battery failure? I am in Mexico for another 6 weeks and hoping to find a solution.

    How long did you have the iPad connected to the wall charger?  A completely dead iPad battery may not work until it has been charged for some time - maybe a half hour or more.  I suggest leaving it on charge overnight, and then trying the reset.
    The MacBook may be able to charge the iPad if it doesn't go to sleep, but it will be extremely slow.  the Wall charger is definitely the best way.

  • HT4060 My iPad wont charge at all. I'm using a wall charger and nothing shows up by the percentage.

    My iPad2 will not charge all of a sudden I don't know why. I'm using a wall charger and the battery symbol doesn't show up as being charged.

    Could be the cable, charger or iPad. Plug the cable into your computer, if it says not charging, the cable is good.
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). 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.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • My iphone turned off after I got off the phone. It was fully charged and it went black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up, its still dead. It was totally fine before. What happened?

    My iphone turned off after I got off the phone today. It was more than half way charged and it went totally black. I plugged it into my wall charger and my computer, but nothing has showed up. It doesn't register on the computer either, the charge symbol doesn't appear, and there is no apple logo to be found.  I have no idea what happened! It was totally fine before. I tried charging another ipod with my usb and wall charger to make sure that they were still working, and they weren't the problem. What happened? Is the phone dead for good? I have a 3G if that changes anything. THANKS!

    Press and hold both the on/off button and the home button and release them both when the apple logo appears.  That will reboot the phone.  try that.

  • Iphone 4 set up query have a brand new iphone 4, I have plugged it in using the wall charger and it does not seem to be doing anything. Trying to turn it on it is not working either. Is there some vital part of set up I have missed or is this a dud??

    I have just received a brand new iphone 4 in the mail. I have plugged it in using the apple wall charger for around 3 hours now and it does not seem to be doing anything. Tried to plug it into the computer, again no response. Trying to turn it on has not had any success either. Should I be concerned that the screen is blank and not showing a charging symbol?? Have I missed some vital step in set up??
    Thanks for your help!!!!

    Try resetting the phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    Then, launch iTunes & connect your phone...what happens?

  • Iphone turns on only when connected to a wall charger and shows that the batterry is 100% charged

    My iphone 4 is not turning on using the power button, when i press it nothing happens but when i connect my iphone to a wall charger the apple logo appears and after some time it says "connect to itunes" and "slide to unlock bar" appears at the bottom for emmergency calls and if i unplug the charger the screen goes black. When i connect iphone to my computer the iphone logo comes in and stays there for about 10 seconds and then the screen goes all black and this thing repeats as long as my iphone is connected to the computer. I have tried the hard reset (pressing home button and power button simultaniously) but its useless in this case
    I think this is because my battery is totally dead and  need to relace it but if anyone of you knows and think that theres some other problem then please let me know
    when it is connected to a wall charger it says that the iphone is 100% charged but i cannot use the iphone as the itunes logo and emergency slide to unlock bar appears on the lockscreen also no service with no wifi nothing its stuck there i can only turn off my iphone using the top sleep button
    iPhone 4

    So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or Mac or when connected to a wall charger?  If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
    Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less.

  • I have an iPod shuffle 1 gb in gold I got from Avon a few years back. I hardly ever use it. I charge it when I am going to use it. But now my laptop took a turn fo the worst so I tried to charge it using my wall charger and it will not charge.

  • Macbook air and traveling to europe.

    Hello I know that laptop is safe to plug in without a converter just an adapter but my question is what about devices that are not safe to charge over there. For example what about my camera that can only charge at 110 can i plug it in to my Air to charge while my air is plugged into Europes 240 grid? Or does my computer carry the 240 through USB?
    Have a late 2010 Macbook Air 11' base model

    What camera do you have? I have Nikon, Pentax, Kodak and Canon digital cameras with proprietary batteries, and the chargers supplied work in Europe and in the US, with only an adaptor for the socket type. The chargers cover 100-240v 50-60 cycles. Perhaps European customers are given dual voltage whereas US customers are not?
    I can't think that the MBA USB would be affected by the local voltages. All the power lead does is charge the battery and pass current to enable the hardware to work.
    However, you do need someone with more specific knowledge than I have to answer you.

  • My iPod Classic 6th gen won't charge on wall charger and it's not even recognized on iMac or Windows

    Hi! I hope someone can help me with this. I have had this 160 Gigs iPod Classic for a couple of years now and never had this problem before. I have tried to connect my iPod with several cables (which work fine with my iPod Touch and iPhone, by the way), two wall chargers, 2 windows computers  and an iMac and none of them recognize my iPod anymore, it doesn't even appear in Disk Mode.  I have also reseted it several times and still nothing.
    It's was working fine but it ran out of battery now so it just says "Connect to Power" when I try to turn it on. What else can I do?

    The iPod itself has bent pins or the cable?
    If the connection on the doc connection inside the iPod is bent you'll need to get that part replaced.
    Indeed that problem would lead to a false indication and give you the problems you just mentioned above.
    Can you take a picture of the connector and upload it here?
    I've repaired many iPod classics so, I think I can help you out. !!!
