Is it possible to operate an ipod with power from this? Not looking to charge but run.

It can run or charge, my old 8 year old iPod, don't know about new ones. U might want to check with Apple! Good luck.

Hello Christopher,Yes, this will be able to run and charge you iPod, the charge speed will be a little slower than a wall charger.

Yes, you will be able to use this as if it is plugged directly into the wall. It will not only power it but also charge it slowly while you are using it.

No, the speaker doesnt charge an ipod, you can plug the ipod to the speaker using adapters though

Yes you can charge it or an I phone however you can not listen to your Ipod or Iphone at the same time its charging because you have to plug in the AUX cable to play music through the head unit it doesnt play music threw the USB jack from an iphone

It can be powered used via usb. But I wouldn't recommend it because it's possible you could burn out the internal battery

I don't usually run the system on a battery unless I take it somewhere besides my desk but the power light doesn't go off when the iphone turns off so I would assume that it is still sucking power from the dock.

There is a USB cable that you can charge and sync the ipod through a computer. There is no direct power adapter included.

No, this only offers power. You still need an auxiliary cable to connect your ipod to your stereo.

You would need a USB cable with an iPod phone end. The output is 5volt 2 amp Check yo the power required by the iPod.

no...your computer can be off...the dock only plays music from an inserted ipod/iphone/itouch

It would definitely play the audio from the iPod, but you would not be able to charge it. The older iPods use a 30-pin connector, while this uses lightning.

I can't imagine it powering a laptop, don't laptops need way more energy than an iPod or cell phone? I wouldn't recommend trying it. I would say it's a REPLACEMENT for powering off a laptop.

If your iPod doesn't read proprietary Apple charging voltages and accepts any 5V charger, then probably yes - but you'd have to provide your own cable.

yeah I think you should be able to. I plug mine into a 12v power outlet on my atv then I plug the aux cord into my ipod. so yes you should be able to

You can if its a 30 pin iPod and doesn't use a lightning charger. But you could always get an adapter if it does, they are inexpensive.

This is not a replacement battery for the iPod, it includes an iPod battery charger with its own internal battery. The charger in this device would work like any other properly operating iPod charger. I question whether the battery charger that you are using is working properly. Have you tried plugging the iPod USB cable into a computer USB port? Also, not all computer USB ports are powered; some USB ports won't charge (or power) the iPod.

I believe that you must use the IPOD 'brick' to charge the unit. A computer USB port does not have the power required to charge up an IPOD.

Needs power and to view on an iPod you'd need it hooked to a DVR system that has app support for iPad. Sounds like this will not work for you.
