5 volt from 4.5 or 6 volt

[Andrew]

Hi,
What capacitor should I use on my AC adaptor to boost 4.5 voltage to 5 volt or a
resistor to get it from 6 volt?
I know the theory but I would rather not test it on my ipod;-)

Thanks,
Andrew

What makes you think a capacitor can 'boost" voltage?

What's the highest current the IPOD draws and over what DC voltage
range will it operate satisfactorily?

Just try the 4.5V as it is, it will probably work.
