Can I use my 10W iPad 2 charger for the new iPad air?

I need several chargers - work, home, travel. Therefore, can I use the 10W chargers from previous iPad models for the new iPad Air? I don't want to purchase 2/3 additional chargers when I purchase my new iPad. Also, can I use the 12W iPad air charger for my iPhone? I don't want to fry it so want to confirm beforehand.

The new model will have the 12W charger, so you should be able to use it with the new model - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327 :
iPad models come with one of two different adapters. iPad (third generation) and earlier comes with a 10W adapter while iPad (4th generation) comes with a 12W adapter. iPad mini comes with a 5W adapter.
While these USB Power Adapters are designed for use with iPad or iPad mini, you can use them to charge all iPhone, iPad, iPad mini, and iPod models by connecting them with either the Lightning to USB cable or the 30-pin to USB cable.

  • Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

    Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

    It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
    This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
    Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

  • Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook?

    Hello,
    I got a PlayBook and it came with the wrong charger plug. It's for the US that I can't use here in Germany.
    Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook instead?
    The information on the chargers are similiar but for the output it's a bit different: (They both say 5V but than 1.8 instead of 1.5)
    PlayBook charger output: 5V = 1.8A
    Android tablet charger output: 5V = 1.5A 
    Thanks for any feedback.

    It'll charge slightly slower, but yes.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air

    Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air that comes with a 45 watt charger. One says its 14.8 volts and the other is 20 volts.

    To be clear, the wattage of the adapter is not the power delivered to the Mac, but rather the power the adapter is capable of delivering.
    Think of it as the difference between a 200 HP and a 400 HP engine; both can drive at a certain speed with no issues, the difference is what happens if you floor the gas pedal.
    The same is true between the higher wattage power adapter that comes with the iPad and the one that comes with iPhones; you can use the higher wattage adapter to charge and iPhone with no issue, but if you try and use the iPhone adapter to charge the iPad it may work, but it will take much, much longer.

    I have an imac bought late 2013, can i use it as a display for the new mac pro running windows 8 through bootcamp?

    No. Target Display mode is only supported when connected to a Mac running 10.6 or later.
    It cannot be used with a PC, bootcamp, gamaing console, cable box, DVR or PowerPC Mac.

  • Does apple make a iPad dock, for the new iPads (lightening) ? Thx

    does apple make a iPad dock, for the new iPads (lightening) ?
    have looked 'everywhere' found some options but not an apple design (i.e. doesnt match my other apple docking stations). Any assistance would be appreviated. Thank you.

    Whatever Apple makes can be found in your online Apple Store.

  • I have an iPad 32 gb - do I need a special charger for it?  The charger for the newer iPads seems to fit but it does not charge it.

    I have an iPad 3 GB - do I need a special charger for this older model?  The charger for a newer iPad seems to fit, but I do not get any kind of display that it is charging.

    Did you try another cable?
    If you are using a USB to iPad dock connector (older iPads do not use the newer Lightning connector) then
    The Dock connector or the USB cable may be bad.

  • Can I trade in a Brand New iPad 2 for the New iPad?

    I have had the iPad 2 since late July 2011 in Australia. Since then it has had some problems, one major one recently was the screen near the Home Button starting to peel off.
    I took it in to the apple shop and the next day i picked but a brand new iPad 2, and have restored all my old stuff on it.. and now i am wondering if i can swap this for the new iPad?
    Thanks

    Apple don't do trade-ins - all they do is allow returns if you bought it from them within the past 14 days. If you want the new model then will probably get more for your current one by selling it privately and then buying the new one, and not looking for a store that does trade-ins.

  • What is the correct charger for the new iPad Air 2?

    Our new iPad Air 2 came with a 10Watt charger. Went to the apple store to get a spare. The Apple folk insist the 12 watt unit is what it needs  - sold my will two. Just trying to figure out which is correct for a new Model= 'MGKL2LL/A' iPad Air 2.
    Thanks

    Either will work. Many people say they received a 10W with their iPad, but it will charge just fine with a 12W. Previous models were shipped with 12W chargers, so no one really knows why the 10W was put in with the Air 2.
    I would guess the Air 2 got a 10 Watt Charger, because the battery in the Air 2 is a bit smaller than the battery in the Air.

  • Can I trade in my old iPad 2 for the new iPad 3?

    I bought the iPad 2 about 4 months ago. It's near brand-new, with no scratches and no damage. I was hoping to trade it in to the Apple Store for a new one, either get the price of the iPad 2 taken of the price of a new one or get the new one free.
    Thanks, Rob

  • Where can I download Premier and Photoshop Elements 10.0?  Or can I use my old serial numbers for the new versions?

    I have changed computers since purchasing these programs in 2012 and want to install them on my new machine.

    You should deactivate them on the old machine if you no longer intend to use them there.  Serial numbers are version specific so yours will only work with version 10.
