Which iPod Power Adapter?

I need to buy an iPod Power Adapter (for my video iPod).
FireWire or USB?

Your iPod will charge over either Firewire or USB. However it would probably makes sense to buy the USB one so that you can use the USB to Dock connector cord that came with your iPod to connect it. If you buy a Firewire adapter you'll need a Firewire to Dock connector cord to attach it.

  • IPod Power Adapter Question?

    when i try to connected my ipod's 5G charger that came witht the ipod it wont fit
    Sounds like you purchased the iPod Firewire Power Adapter, instead of the iPod USB Power Adapter.
    If you want to keep the power adapter you purchased, you'll need to also get a 6-pin Firewire to Dock Connector cable.
    Otherwise, you could return the power adapter you have and exchange it for the USB power adapter and use the cable which came with your iPod.

  • Please tell me which Ipod dock adapter is compatible with the Ipod Classic 80GB?  They no longer make this particular Ipod and I need the right dock adapter for my Panasonic SC-HC25 stereo system I recently purchased.

    Look through the compatible list chart and see which 80GB model are you using, either ID 9 or 10. you can order through Apple Online Store.

  • I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

    Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
    If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

  • OK to use iPod Power Adapter to charge iPhone?

    At the Apple Store, they told me that I could use a power adapter and cable for an iPod with my iPhone. Seems to work fine, charges the battery fine. But I notice that in the tiny print on the side of the iPod power adapter it says, "Output 12V -- .67A". The print on the side of the adapter that came with the iPhone says "Output 5V -- 1A".
    Wouldn't want to fry my phone battery with those extra volts.

    It's not $29.99 + $19.99. They include with the iPhone both a dock/charger and a power adapter/wall plug charger. But only one cable between either of them and your iPhone. So, if you have a computer in one room and you charge your phone overnight in another room, you need another cable.
    One solution is to to use some cable you already have, that fits, such as I did once, from an iPod 2 or 3 years old. But I had to use the power adapter that came with that cable/iPod, since the USB cable end was different. It said output: 12V. the iphone power adapter said output: 5V.
    So, although the cable fit and the iPhone charged seemingly fine, I was not comfortable charging my $600 iphone with a 12v charger when the one that came with it was a 5v charger. I paid just $19.99 for a duplicate cable to the one that came with the iPhone, used the 5v power adapter that also came with it. Just in case. The apple guy at the "genius bar" agreed: it "ought to work" but, yeah...it's disconcerting...
    So, that's the story. I now have a dock on my iMac and a power-adapter from the wall in my bedroom. Both supplied with the iPhone. Both using identicl cables.
    What I would like to know, from some tech person, is YEA or NAY. The 5v and 12v iphone and ipod adapters are interchangeable OR they are not and WHY. Otherwise, we are all just speculating.

  • IPod Power Adapter

    I bought this product: iPod Power Adapter from eBay. It made the building on fire.
    http://blin90.shutterfly.com/pictures/1376

    It has sparked the extension cord. I used a glove and a scissor to cut off the stucked part.
    After the cut, the whole apartment power switch went off.
    Just sue the seller. I got his or her information here: [email protected] & [email protected]

    The power striked my finger or hands.

  • Which MagSafe Power Adapter?

    I have a MacBook Pro 5.4, 15" screen, purchased in 2009 I think. It came w. a 60W MagSafe Power Adapter. I want to purchase a 2nd power adapter for my alternate work site. I see that an 85W MagSafe is being specified for the 15" PowerBook Pro. Is the 60W one I have all right to use, and should I buy the second one as an 85W?

    What about using the 85W Mag Safe 2 Power Adapter (used on MacBook Pro) for my MacBook Air which comes with a 45W Mag Safe 2 Power Adapter? Is there a problem with that?

  • IPod Photo won't charge with Power Adapter but charges through Computer....

    Hi got this problem... searched the discussion board but didn't find any satisfying answers.
    Hope somebody can help me out here.
    Problem description:
    My iPod photo won't charge using the power adapter from Apple. Bought a second one won't work, used different cables won't work either.
    however it does charge via the USB port of the computer.
    And it also charges via the car stereo plug (forgot the real name but it's from the apple store).
    So does anybody have a similar problem? Could it be the iPod that is defective and also destroyes the Power Adapter maybe?
    didn't try a different iPod to charge yet. So that's one thing left to try for verification.
    untill then maybe somebody knows help, and it might be just a little setting thing.
    Thanks for the Help

    hi Rene!
    hmmmm. it sounds like you've already tried most of the things listed on these documents:
    iPod's battery doesn't charge
    iPod: Troubleshooting the Apple iPod AC Adapter
    iPod: About the Apple iPod Power Adapter
    from what you're reporting, i'm currently most suspicious of the electrical outlets you're using with those adapters. if you try switching it to a different outlet, does it charge properly then?
    love, b

  • New USB Power Adapter includes cable

    I just got caught and hope this advice helps others...
    The original USB iPod power adapter did NOT include a USB-to-dock cable. I just ordered the NEW USB power adapter and the extra cable. Guess what - it now includes the cable!

    Did you find a solution Raf SR?
    I have a similar problem. After initial (updating/restoring) issues with my ipod mini which I won't bore you with, I got it working and charging successfully through my PC via the USB cable. Then I bought a USB power adapter for when I am away from my PC. When I connected my ipod to the power adapter it did the brief "do not disconnect" thing then "OK to disconnect" with no attempt to charge. I left it overnight and the following morning it had the battery/triangle/exclamation mark symbol and I had to reset the ipod to get it to work (I did this while still connected to the power adapter).
    I borrowed a friend's firewire power adapter and that worked fine. I went back to the store and swapped my usb power adapter for another (firewire power adapter wasn't available) and it did the same as the first one. The ipod still charges fine via the PC and usb cable.
    I don't get it! Can anyone help? Thanks

  • Power adapter - not from apple.

    I recently purchased an iPod power adapter + dock from Value City I think it was. I don't use the dock, but I do use the power adapter that I plug my iPod into using the cord that came with my iPod. the box for the adapter says that it's compatible with iPod video.
    is this okay to use even though it's not manufactured by apple?

    Take it to your nearest Apple Store or Apple Authorized Service Provider to have them look at it.

  • 4th Gen w/o power adapter

    I bought a 4th generation 20GB iPod from eBay. I plugged it in and it started syncing right away, but it was slow because my old-school iBook only has USB 1.0. So, after a couple hours of syncing, I got a message saying that the iPod had no power left and that I should connect it to an external power source. I messed with it for a little while and got the syncing to sort of start again, but then more trouble, so I restored it using the 'restore' button in iTunes. The result followed pretty closely the details of this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60983
    But when it got to the point where it says "Restore Instruction 1: Disconnect iPod and connect it to iPod Power Adapter (typically applies to older iPod models)" I was stuck because I don't have a power adapter. I thought iPods were powered by the USB. (The seller, a company [not an individual], made no mention of this either way.) But the point is, all the iPod does now is show a little picture of an adapter plugging into a wall. Any idea what I need to do here? Is it as simple as buying an adapter, or is there another way to deal with this?
    Side note: I plugged it into my wife's G4 iBook with USB 2.0, and it still showed the picture described above.
    Can anyone help with this?

    I plugged it into my wife's G4 iBook with USB 2.0, and it still showed the picture described above.
    Plug it into the iBook G4 with FireWire, or an unit such as the iPod Hi-Fi, or try this method, or take it to an Apple Store.

  • Travel Adapter and iPod USB Power Adapter

    I know this is going to sound like a stupid question but this is all new to me so please bear with me I just bought an iPod video, a World Travel Adapter kit and the Power Duo kit - which contains a power block wall charger, USB mini cable, and car charger. I was looking at the plugs in the travel kit and do not see how they work. The product data says that it works with the USB power adapter - which at this point I am assuming is different than the power block wall charger? Can someone verify this for me? Also, can someone then tell me how these travel adapters plug into the USB power adapter (or power block wall charger) so that they can be used when traveling overseas. I can't tell from the photo of the USB adapter how this would be done...I don't want to buy yet another power adapter if I don't need one, but I sure can't see how they work with what I have so far or how they would work with the USB power adapter..I would have thought that the travel kit would have some with everything that I need but apparently it doesn't.
    Thanks in advance.

    Now I have hooked it up to a PC without itunes on it. The ipods says it is charging but when you disconnect you can see that the battery level is even lower. Does this mean that I should just take back the ipod to exchange it for a working one?
    Thanks

  • Can I charge my new ipod using firewire power adapter?

    Just got my new 30GB ipod and realised that it doesn't come with power adapter to plug in directly in power outlet.
    Can I use the firewire power adapter which I have leftover after my 3rd gen ipod died on me?
    Also can I use the firewire to connect it to my powerbook for charging and song transfer? I thought firewire is faster than usb2 then why new ipods don't come with firewire cable anymore?
    Many thanks.

    think if you do your research and read up you will see the USB2 is indeed faster than Firewire. I actually did a few test on a dual G5 using both the Firewire and USB2 and in all my test, USB2 was faster.
    If USB2 was faster for you, that's wonderful. I'm not about to start arguing with you over it.
    What I can tell you is that you're certainly in the minority if this was the case for you.
    USB2 has a theoretical maximum speed of 480Mbps. While this is certainly a higher number than Firewire 400's 400Mbps, Firewire will still vastly outperform USB2 in almost every case. It is near impossible to get anywhere close to 480Mbps with USB2. Even under ideal conditions, USB2 still has to contend with other processes on the machine, and other devices in the bus.
    This is the nature of USB's design.
    It is not uncommon for Firewire to reach near maximum speeds consistently. This has been proven time and time again.
    Like I mentioned already, if USB2 is faster for you... go ahead and use it. I'm not going to tell you otherwise.
    I'm quite sure I've done sufficient research on this, as well as many other people in this industry, and these forums. Perhaps it is you that might want to do a little more reading.

  • Apple iPod USB Power Adapter - ?

    Hello everybody!
    I've got a problem with my new iPod mini and I hope you may help me.
    After updating the new software for my iPod Apple told me to charge the battery with a Apple iPod USB Power Adapter which I don't have.
    I tried to connect the iPod to my computer (Windows XP) but there's always the picture of the adapter on my iPod. I've tried to reset it, restart the computer and so on ...
    But the display always shows this sign of the adapter.
    I hope you can help me, I'd be very greatful.

    but it's already worked with my computer, the iPod worked alright, so I don't think that I need this stuff you've just named.
    The iPod will work just fine without those things.
    It's the update/restore process that needs the A/C adapter.
    Anyway, you don't need to listen to me if you don't want to. I won't be insulted.
