is there a cable for the ipod so that i can charge it without the computer ?

you didn't get one in the original packaging?

I got a wall socket, one usb cable, one firewire cable and my ipod....the firewire cable plugs into the wall socket to double as a plug in wall charger

i got the ipod mini and there were only the usb cable with it...
