Charging Ipod Nano

No. They changed the wall adapters after some time. You need to buy a new one. I tried the same thing and my Ipod blacked out on me so I had to buy a new charger.

I used my 4th gen wall adapter from my 20GB ipod to charge my nao and it seems to work fine.

Which ipod wall charger did you use?

You can't use the Original chargers because they changed the cable. Now the cable for the computer is universal for the one on the charger as well. So, when you get a Nano, the cable won't fit into the charger, meaning you need to buy a new one.

If your a/c adaptor is one that connected via usb, then you can use it. If it's a firewire connection (there are two different power adaptors in circulation) you can still use it to charge the nano, but you would need to buy a firewire/dock connector cable.

Just to clarify a bit over the previous posts:

There are two issues people have mentioned that tie together but are separate - the cable and the charger.

The 20gb iPod should have come with a dock to Firewire cable and the ac adapter should have a firewire connector. The Nano comes with a dock to USB cable and no ac adapter.

You CAN use the Firewire cable with the ac adapter to charge the Nano. You CANNOT sync the Nano with the firewire cable.

You can also get another adapter that has a USB connector, but the firewire adapter with the firewire cable should charge your Nano just fine.
