Can I use other Apple USB Power Adapters with iPad

I am looking for a spare Apple Power Adapter to charge my iPad. I have an iPad (3rd Generation), which came with a 10W USB Power Adapter, Model A1357, output 5.1V. 2.4A USB Power Adapter. I have two other Apple Power Adapters 1) iPod Power Adapter, Model A1070, output 13V, .62A Firewire Power Adapter, 2) USB Power Adapter, Model A 1265, Output 5V, 1A,and 3) USB Car Adapter, Can either of the latter three Power Adapters be used to charge my iPad

Technically, yes, but they will trigger the 'not charging' because they're not giving out the 10W that your device wants. And charging with them will take significantly longer than the ipad charger.
I'd only use them as a 'shucks, left my iPad charger at home and I'm in a pinch' situation.
Your best bet would be to either get another iPad charger, or if you're trying to use one adapter for several devices, use the iPad one for the rest of your stuff.

HT4341 Can I use the 5w usb power adapter for iPad mini/ iPhone 4 in 220v with an adapter?

I will be traveling to Peru and have an adapter for the different prongs there, can I use the 5w usb power adapter that came with my iPad mini, or do I need to buy a converter as well for t their 220v?

The apple charger is rated 100V to 240V, 50/60 Hz. You can use it in any country.

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

Does the new iMac coming in December have a dvd drive? If not can you use the Apple USB SuperDrive?

The soon to be released new iMacs don't have a DVD drive. I don't believe that Apple have updated their site to say their USB drive will work, but the expectation is that it will.
I watched the keynote and when Phil Schiller was presenting the new models I think he mentioned something about it working and he had one on the desk next to the iMac.
I'm going to check the keynote if it's still up and I'll update my post if I'm wrong.

Old Apple USB Power Adapter with New Shuffle

I just purchased a shuffle (2nd gen) and was wondering if I can use the Apple USB Power adapter that I use for my ipod (5th gen - the adapter is about two years old) to charge it, or can I only use my computer? The Apple store shows that it's compatible with the newer adapters, so I'm assuming I should be fine, but wanted to make sure.
Also, is there anyway to check on the computer, once the shuffle is docked, how full the charge is or isn't?
Thanks!!

It should work... try it!

The only indication is the status LED, it's either orange for charging or
green for "charged"...

Can you use a Apple USB Superdrive with Windows

Hello,
I frequently finding myself wanting to use my Apple USB Superdrive with my work computer but havent had any luck being able to load CDs to play or burn.
If anybody has a solution or information please advise.
Windows XP Pro, Version 2002, Service Pack 3
Thanks,
Will

It should work, as long as the drive is getting sufficient power. It is possible that your Windows PC is not providing enough power through the USB port.

Using Non-Apple 802.11N Adapters with Airport Extreme

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station but both N enabled and G enabled Macs in the house. I'd really like to set up the network as an N network. And since I can upgrade the Airport Cards in the older Macs, can I use 3rd Party 802.11N adapters (USB 2.0 for example) to get the older Macs onto the N network? Otherwise, it seems to defeat the purpose of having the 802.11N enabled Airport Extrement and iMacs.
I see that Netgear and Edimax have such adapters, but neither lists Mac OSX as a supported OS.
Thank you.

Thank you for your comment. But unfortunately, I still need to run my non-N machines. So I think my choices are:
1. Try somehow to replace the older Airport Cards in those machines with N-Cards which seem like a pain
2. Have 2 networks, one N and one non-N
3. Try some of these 3rd Party USB or PC Card Slot N-Adapters
Seems like 3. is the least painful option?
Any advice on whether I can use 3rd Party N-Adapter would be very appreciated! Thanks again!

Old Apple USB Power Adapter with new nano

Hi. I have an older Apple USB Power Adapter (model A1102) that I've been using with an Ipod Mini (bought it with the mini a long time ago). I have a new 3G nano on order. Will this power adapter work with the new nano? Or will I be forced to buy a new one?
Output from the adapter is 5V - 1.0A
Thanks

Since I also converted from a Mini to a 3G Nano, I thought I'd give you a couple of pointers; I probably spent a couple of days preparing my existing mp3 library (and that says nothing about videos).
1) Make sure all of your mp3's are NOT marked read-only and load everything you want into the NEW iTunes
2) Work on collecting/saving the NEW things like album covert art and lyrics (I sometimes use the lyrics area to list musicians/personnel)
3) Re-construct your playlists and SAVE everything (iTunes actually writes back to the mp3 files--that's why you don't want them read-only)
4) Only then start messing with videos, because they tend to crash iTunes depending on your hardware, OS, etc. (for example, iTunes doesn't work well with Vista). My best advice for videos is use a 3rd party converter (like Nero Recode) to ensure iPod format compatibility; don't even waste your time with iTunes for anything that isn't a downloaded/purchased item.

Can I save $ while integrating my IPhone? Can I use my BB USB Power Adaptor

I'm extremely happy with my IPhone (3G-16)... but for anyone who doesn't own a lot of Apple stock, or oil futures, times are tight.
I need a second USB power adapter. Can I simply plug my IPhone USB cable into one of the myriad of plugs which I have without killing my IPhone?
I've got one from my blackberry days which takes in 100-240V and outputs DC +5.0V---0.5A.
Apple doesn't list the specs for their power adaptor online, at least not where I can find them.
My other options are an ac plug to USB which came with my Garmin bike computer and a car charging unit for the Blackberry.
How concerned should I be about the different levels of power which may come out of plugs from different chinese factories, and is there a place where I can learn what the IPhone needs?

Using any other type of charger would void your warranty if it damaged the iPhone.
You can just charge the iPhone while it's plugged into the USB on the computer. No need to have an extra adapter.

HT2801 can i use the Apple USB SuperDrive to upgrade my OS from 10.5 t0 10.6?

The optical drive on my Macbook Pro (Build 9L31a) broke a couple of years ago and I have thus far managed to get around it. Now that iCloud is about to reign down on my OS 10.5, I need to upgrade via disk. Will the new Apple USB SuperDrive do the trick or do I have to have the internal drive replaced. Is there another drive out there that would be better than the SuperDrive?
Thanks!

Apple's USB drive won't work with your computer at all.

Can you use the I pad power adapter with the I phone 5 lightning cord?

Can you use the I pad or I phone 4 power adapter with the I phone 5 lightning cord to charge your I phone 5 without damaging it?

Yes, the iPad charger has more wattage so it would charge your iPhone faster then the square iPhone charger.

Can I use my old battery & power cord with my new machine?

Hiya everyone,
I recently trashed the screen of my iBook bought in Sept 03 (by spilling water on it.) I've now bought a new one, and as the battery and power cable from my old machine are still fine, and as I could do with a spare of each, I just wanted to check it would be ok to use them with my newer machine.
Both machines are 12 inch iBook G4s, the only differences I can think of are as follows:
Old machine:
30GB hard drive
1 GHz
256MB ram
New machine:
80GB hard drive (I had it customized)
1.33GHz
512MB ram
I'd appreciate knowing whether my old power cord and battery can be used with my new machine, so if anyone could answer my question, I'd be most grateful. Thanks everyone.

Hi Charity,
Yes, you can use both. They have the same specs.

How can we use multiple Apple on IDs on an iPad?

I have just bought my girlfriend an iPad 2 which we have set up with a new Apple ID in her name. She is using the iPad fine and has already used her Apple ID to download some music from iTunes onto the iPad along with some Apps. However, I have a lot of music which I have downloaded from iTunes onto my PC using my own Apple ID. We also have an Apple TV and I use an iPhone 4 which has been updated to iOS 5.01.
What I am confused about is how the new iCloud Service, iTunes-in-the-Cloud, iTunes Match, iTunes WiFi synching and Home Sharing all work together. Ideally, my girlfriend would like to be able to access all the music and movies I have downloaded onto the PC from iTunes using my own Apple ID. Should I use my Apple ID on her iPad as well as her ID for HomeSharing to facilitate this, or would this confuse the iPad? However, I thought one of the ideas of iCloud was that any music you have purchased on one device (i.e. the PC) is automatically sent to every other Apple device you use. Or do you have to subscribe to iTunes Match to make this happen? Should my girlfriend be synching her iPad with the PC to gain access to all of my music, or would this confuse matters and delete everything she has bought on the iPad from iTunes using her own Apple ID?
Is it better to "send" music and movies to our Apple TV using AirPlay or using HomeSharing?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

HT6160 What ports are used for Apple Configurator to function with IPads?

Need to know what ports need to be allowed for Apple Configurator to function.

Apple Configurator runs locally on an OS X computer. It requires a USB connection. So no ports required for connecting Configurator to iPads.
However, there are some ports that need to be opened for iPads to work with Apple's server if you are behind a firewall. Here is a list of known TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6175?viewlocale=en_US
To use iPads behind a firewall (Configurator or not), you'll want to definitely open 5223 for Apple Push Notification and the standard ports for HTTP/HTTPS (80 and 443). If you're using an MDM, you will likely need to open 2195 and 2196 as well. If you still have issues port watch and see what an iPad does when trying to get to the store.
Hope this answers your question!
