Can I use the same adapter for my ipad mini w/ retina display as I use for my iphone 4S?

I have an iPad mini with retina display and an iPhone 4S.  Have both the small and large adapters (5W and 12W I believe) that came with the two products.  I am traveling abroad and want to know if I can just use the smaller adapter (little cube-shaped one, 5W) for both the ipad and the iphone.  OR, can I forgo taking the Apple adapters that were supplied, and instead use one of the travel adapters that has two 2.1-Amp USB ports?

You can use the 5W to charge the iPhone, but if it charges the iPad Mini Retina, it will be slow, so you would have to turn it off and let it sit forever to get charged.  If you were going to take just one, take the 12 W on as you can use it to charge both devices without issue.
I would recommend getting the Apple travel adapters if you are going abroad.  The 12W adapter should have a duck head you can pop off and put the international adaptation on there. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB974ZM/B/apple-world-travel-adapter-kit

  • Is an iPad mini with retina display the complete same size as an iPad mini without retina display?

    I'm trying to find a good sleeve for my new Ipad mini (with retina display), but keep coming across two options.
    1) Sleeve for iPad mini with retina display
    2) Sleeve for iPad mini
    Is there a difference in size? I'm mainly asking as I've found one I would like, but it doesn't mention the retina display..
    Hope someone out there has an answer to my question.
    Thanks,
    Kat

    There is a .3mm difference in depth.

    Connect your iPad to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...
    If an Update Appears Install it... if not... you are up to date for your particular Device...
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...
    How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Make sure you have the Latest Version of iTunes (v11) Installed on your computer

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    Whenever I update my iPhone software, it asks me to sign in to iCloud with an old email address.  My other devices all have the correct address.  How can I get the correct address for my iPhone?  The only Apple ID that works for logging in is my new one.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone (if you're using iOS 7), then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Is there a reason that I can't download the latest update for my iPhone 4? It downloads halfway and then stops.

    Have you ever jailbroken your iPhone with tether? Because if you have the jailbreak keeps a file on your phone making it so you can't update. To solve this problem your going to have to reset your phone.

  • Can the heat generated within the iPad mini w/ Retina Display damage the iPad?

    My iPad mini with retina display gets hot while charging or multitasking or using it for 5-6 continuous hours. It has a TPU material cover on it and sometimes the heat can be felt on the cover. So, if it keeps on heating like this is there a possibility of damaging my iPad? And also can you please tell me the maximum no. Of continuous hours I can use my iPad. Can 5-6 hours of continuous playback damage the. iPad ?

    The ipad has heat sensors in it.
    If the iPad reaches a certain temp, it will shut down to avoid damage.
