[SOLVED] Charging questions

ZML · 11-17-2007, 03:29 PM

My Zune is here, and I'm tweaking things.. (Meta data and album art)
That's all fine and easy.
But I need to know about charging it.

I know you just plug it into your PC with the syncing cable, and it'll charge.

But, say my PC is turned off. Can the Zune charge with the PC turned off?
Also, I'll be taking my Zune to school with me, and it may need chargin' there.. If I were to just plug my Zune into one of the school's PCs, without it having the software, would my Zune charge?

If yes to the second:
Can it also be charged using a Mac's USB port?

As long as there's power going through a usb port, the Zune should charge up. Mac/PC/Wall Charger, all should work.

Some computers keep powering the USB after the computer has shut down. Most don't. It depends on your computer, but chances are, when you shut down, you'll lose the charging ablility

No problem. Hope everything works out for you! You know where to come if it doesn't.
