From: Jack B. Pollack on 16 Mar 2010 22:23 I just upgraded from a Gen2 iPod Nano to a Gen5. I have a nice little (Altec Lansing) powered speaker base that also charges the iPod. When I put the new iPod into the base it says "charging is not supported with the accessory". The new iPod does charge through the USB cable when connected to the computer. Does anyone have any pin-outs on what may have changed in the connecter so that I can possibly put power on the new pins?

Very odd. Apple used the same pinouts for several generations of iPod. I wonder why they changed it.

The original iPod used a Firewire power/data cable, and Firewire has +12V power (or more... ). The newest iPod uses USB power/data cable, and USB power is +5V at 100 to 500 mA. There's no reason to assume that the same pins on the connector are used, but the power situation on the two designs is definitely different.

What about rewiring the pins and adding a v reg? "whit3rd" <whit3rd(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:01662316-ea16-43f3-a265-d0d561109e04(a)e1g2000yqh.googlegroups.com...
