Charge Your iPod

Some people have problems charging their iPod. This is a step-by-step manual explaining how to charge your iPod easily.

Steps

Obtain a charger for your iPod (see Things You'll Need Below). This is unnecessary if you have a computer and an iPod USB cord.
Connect the iPod to the charger. You should see the battery in the right, upper corner fill up or a large battery on the entire screen.
Disconnect the iPod when it reads "Charge Complete". Charging the battery completely is best for battery longevity.

Connect the USB cord to the computer or adapter's USB port. Some adapters will require no assembly and therefore will have no USB port (often those for wall or car outlets).
Connect the other end to the iPod. For most ipod connectors just push in gently, but for other types you will have to press firmly on side buttons to pull in side prongs.

Make sure the stereo is plugged in.
Place the plastic insert (if applicable) that came with the stereo or dock over the port. This is only needed if you have an iPod smaller than the iPod classic. Also, an iPod with a thick cover or skin may not fit properly.
Connect the iPod to the dock or stereo.

You can listen to music while your iPod charges on a dock or with an adapter, but not while it is attached to the computer. In some cases, you may be able to eject the iPod from the computer; however, if you leave it connected it will still charge and you can use the iPod at the same time. Otherwise, you will have to listen to the music on your iPod through the computer via the iTunes application.
Also, if you charge your iPod on a regular plug, turn it off, it will charge faster.

Be sure to charge your ipod if you use it as an authenticator for your Starcraft 2 password. Otherwise you will trap your friends and loved ones in a cycle of disappointment and delayed games and you will have no one but yourself to blame. Yes you, only you to blame.
