Wall charger compatibility???

I bought a generic wall charger for my 60gb ipod video.
The output of it is 11v/700mA.The company i bought it from is so horrible , that i want to make sure for myself that this charger is safe to use.
Will this charger work safely?
It has been an unbelievable hassle to get this figured out.
I almost regret buying from a company that makes compatibility so hard to figure out.Thanks

Welcome To Apple Discussions!
May I ask which company you purchased the wall charger from?
I purchased my wall charger from Griffin. They make great quality products. I also like DLO.

Wall charger compatibility for

I realize there have already been a few posts about chargers already, but I have a spesific compatibility question. I have several chargers for my motorola phone, they are mini usb chargers just like what the Zen uses. I realize that creative cannot/will not verify that this will work as a charger for my zen, but I am afraid to plug it in without someone telling me that it will not distroy my Zen. So I am hoping that someone will post with their experience on this issue, or at the very least could someone point me to the power specifications for a charger that Creative supports for the zen.
Thank you,
Bric

The Motorola chargers, if they are the genuine article with the Motorola branding, will usually work on the Creative players, but the Creative chargers will not work on Motorola phones.

Volts! Wall charger: International Compatibility? Please help!

Hi, hope someone can help me - I've been searching for answers for the last 3 hours and still havn't got one!
I bought an iPod + video 60GB in Japan over Christmas.
I brought it back to the U.K.
I need a wall charger as I have no free USB sockets on my laptop.
U.K. voltage is 240V. In Japan its 120V.
So... My questions are:
1. If I plug in my Japanese iPod into a U.K wall charger will my iPod break??????
2. Do all iPods from different countries have the same specs? (You'd think I'd atleast find this one out myself but I can't find anything about it)
3. What would you reccomend I do?
I've been browsing for chargers from random sites and came across a few... such as:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/iPod-30GB-60GB-Video-2GB-4GB-Nano-U2-Mains-Charger-UK_W0QQ itemZ5861845063QQcategoryZ48680QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
But even the sellers don't know if a Japanese iPod can withstand 240V!!
I thank you in advance for any help/advice/recommendations.

How can a FireWire adaptor charge my iPod?
Your iPod doesn't use firewire, but it can drink the power that firewire ports produce. Nevertheless, just buy a standard iPod charger. You don't need to worry about firewire.
(I'm not
entirely sure what FireWire is except its some
invisible magical waves that lets some people use the
internet without USB cables and other wires..no?)
No. It's similar to USB but faster. It's used for connecting things together eg. digital cameras, printers etc.
Are FireWire adaptors as good as socket in wall ones?
(A friend uses FireWire net connection and says its
way slower if she wanted to download anything.)
It's way faster, but it makes no difference to you. You iPod doesn't use firewire but it can use firewire as a power source. Just get a standard iPod charger.
If all iPods work on 5VDC does that mean I can use
and iPod adapter, even the cheapy ones on ebay,
because they all adjust the voltage so its 5V and not
240?
No. All iPods consume the same power eg. standard USB or Firewire. All proper iPod chargers will output the right power for all iPods everywhere, but that doesn't mean the charger itself is designed to work with the wall power in any country. As long as it's a standard British iPod charger, it should be ok.
I don't really want an international adapter as it
seems you can use it in every country except Japan.
(Although I am based in the U.K. I go to Japan every
year for 2 months you see).
Fair enough!
After alot of consideration & browsing I'm thinking
of buying this one:

Do you aprove? Is a FireWire one still better?
Ignore firewire.

2g wall charger with 4g iPod touch

I have a 4th gen iPod touch and bought an omnitwch iPod accessory kit containing, among other things, a USB wall charger and car charger. The compatibility chart only goes up to iPod touch 2nd gen. Can I still use this charger?
Thanks

It should work fine. USB uses a standard voltage.

HT1665 USB Wall charger

Please advise, if a USB wall charger itself should be certified by "Made for iPhone"?
Is there any compatibility issue in case of use any USB wall charger (output: 5V / 1A), by an "iPhone" original cable (USB to lightning connector)?
Thanks in advance,
Shmulik

Thankd Allan,
The question is if Apple also mark / certify a stand alone USB wall charger (without the cable)
with "Made for iPhone" as with other accessories?
Thanks in advance,
Shmulik.

Wall Charger OK for 120 GB classic?

Some time ago, I purchased a wall charger from Apple for my old shuffle (2nd gen). It's the cube charger with the folding prongs. The info on the charger gives a model number A1205 W005B050. I can't find this charger anywhere on the Apple site to check its compatibility. Does anyone know if I can use this charger for my IPod Classic 120 GB?

Hello otter_69,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Are you talking about this?
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=30027&cat=2751
If so, then yes you can use it to charge your iPod classic as well. In most cases, if the charger works for one iPod model, it usually works for all.

Phone no longer recognized by my computer or my wall charger...HELP

After the 2.0 upgrade had a few issues, still have a few of the apps quitting etc. these I can deal with while waiting for the fixes.
The big problem is the phone now cannot connect to the computer or the charger, tried different cables {still can charge with car charger} all combinations and even my daughters new wall charger that came with her 3 g, nothing, so not the connector or the cables since all work in the car, not the charger since hers works on her phone and her phone works on my charger!
I used to do the connection for back up etc. using a hub but that was first to fail {worked during upgrade {?} to 2.0 and for a few days after that, up until this morning I could plug it directly into the usb on the computer and that worked now nothing works but the Belkin car charger.
Did all of the restarts of the phone and the computer, nothing helps, would try a restore on the phone but, read above.
If the old cell plan were transferable to the new phone I would gladly go buy a new phone {is this some hidden software bug to make me do that? ;-} but I see no need to pay $15 more per month for the same service, there is no 3 g near me so all I would get for the money is gps.
Any ideas?

I am right there with you with this issue. I've tried every reset feature there is and that doesn't work at all. NOTHING FIXES IT!
I have a Logitech monitor with a ipod dock in it and that will charge it but once you hook the USB cable to ANY computer MAC/PC it stops showing that it is charging.
It will NOT sync at all and doesn't look like it is charging but I swear it is.
I took mine to the Apple Store in Brandon about 2 hours ago. They never saw this issue before and of course I'm out of my warranty by only 20 days!
My phone is hosed and I had to get a new one if I wanted to sync anything to it. They had the white 3G 16gig so I had to shell out another $300 to get a working phone. Which brings my total in just over a year of having it to almost $1000. I don't see how this is fair business practice...
I hope someone as Apple is listening. Your people don't know how to fix this in the store and right now I have a worthless iPhone!!! This *****!

Ipod touch won't start or charge in computer, but displays plug into itunes window when plugged into wall charger

This is really frustrating me since i use my ipod for alot of school work. this ipod isn't jailbroken but just seemingly bricked for no reason.

Sounds like a bad battery. How long did you let it charge?

I've run diagnostics. Can't find device. I've tried resetting. The toggle has been turned on and off.

Cable works fine on my other iPod. Reset by pressing menu and center button together for 6-10 seconds. Left it to charge for many hours. Started acting up while running. Suddenly the music stopped playing but my Nike + was still working for the rest of my run. Took it straight it home and plugged it in to the wall to recharge since the battery was fairly low. Looked like it recharged ok but then screen went blank and now does it not show up on iTunes, does not seem to recharge by the wall charger (apple wall charger plugged into a surge protector in India). I have turned the hold switch off and on many times.
Sounds like a repair issue, which is not easy to do in India :(

Hello, my ipad mini is completely 0% and it won't charge on a wall charger, i tried to reboot, but then the low baterry sign pop up saying it is not charged, which is really annoying to me, i literally had to wait 8 hours to reach 1% before, thank you!

Hello, my ipad mini is not charging what so ever and it is literally 0%. Once I put it on my wall charger, it still won't charge. I tried rebooting it, by pressing the home and sleep button for 15 second. I tried to change the wall outlet, AC Charger Adapter with USB for the Apple ipad mini and nothing would not work. This happened more than a billion times, and i had to wait more than 18 hours just to reach 1% before.
My Imessage doesn't work either, each time I send a message it won't send.
I have lots of problems with my ipadmini.

My iPhone will not work unless I plug it into my wall charger, It is fully charged but only works when it is plugged in to wall charger. When it is turned on it say "Restore needed iphone can not make or receive calls' i tried plugging it up to Itunes but it will not turn on to sync.

First try a hard reset, press and hold the power button and home buttons until the phone restarts and displays the Apple Logo, then let go.
If that doesn't work...
Try forcing recovery mode and then restore with iTunes.

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.

My iPod shuffle won't charge on a wall charger. It won't even light up after 8 hrs. On charge. What's wrong?

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?

TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1. I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

Wall charger compatibility???
