iPod Charging While Plugged In Via USB
Filed Under News |
Ever run your iPod's battery down and want to charge it via USB but still be able to listen to it while charging? Marat writes in How to use your iPod while charging it through your computer that the way to do this is to:
- Connect your iPod to your computer via the USB cable
- Open My Computer
- Right Click on your iPod
- Select Eject
This way, instead of staring at the annoying "Do Not Disconnect" flashing on the screen, you can continue to listen to the iPod while it charges, as the Eject command tells the computer to stop using the device, but doesn't de-energize the USB port like using "Safely Remove Hardware" does. Keep in mind this won't work with the iPod Shuffle as they charge via the headphone jack instead.
