Wall charger question

I have the iPad with the USB cord and wall charger. I also have the wall charger that is used with iPods.
Is it possible to use one charger with both the iPad and the iPod Shuffle (Gen. 3 - the new small ones)?
I do realize that the cords are different.
Thanks, Steve

Numerous other threads say that either charger can be used with iPads, and ditto for iPods. If you use an iPod charger on an iPad, it'll charge more slowly, though.

  • Ipod wall charger question..

    Hi
    I have a wall charger for the iPod 20gb (4th gen I think) model.
    Does anyone know if the same wall charger can be used to charge up the smaller iPod Nano?

    excellent!
    Thank you

    My iPod touch is not charging, nor is it syncing with my commputer and iTunes. It will charge on the wall charger, and in the car, but not on the computer. My wife's iPod Nano syncs on the computer. I went in and reset my iPod Touch back to factory settings and now it will not let me get in unless I sync to iTunes on my computer. Well, it still will not connect thru the USB cord. Does anyone know what I should do to get this corrected? I want my iPod back.

    Have you seen and worked through the suggestions in this Apple support document?

  • Faulty UK USB Power Brick/Wall Charger Drains iPhone Battery

    I'm writing this post more from an informative perspective, rather than from a question seeking a response.
    I have a genuine Apple UK USB wall charger which is at least 2 years old - it either came with my current iPhone 5 or old iPhone 4 from 4 years ago (both look identical).
    Recently on charging my phone overnight, I've woken up (late - as the alarm consequently didn't work) to find that the power had drained from my phone rather than the expected charge happening. Having an old phone, I assumed it was the fault of the phone and booked it in for a genius bar visit. Being annoyed about the 1 week+ delay for the next genius bar appointment, I purchased a new iPhone to use temporarily for a week which would then be returned for a full refund on receipt of a replacement for mine.
    On testing out the brand new iPhone with the charger, it appears that the same happens:
    On plugging in the new phone to the charger once it has been fully charged (100%), within 5 minutes the charge in the phone has become 97%.
    I'm guessing it is quite unusual for a USB brick to fail in this way - to actually drain the phone of charge?

    I have the dock connector option for my factory stereo as well and am also seeing it drain the iPhone battery. What's odd is that it used to charge just fine.
    Initially the iPhone wouldn't route audio through the dock connector in my vehicle. It would see that it was plugged in and gave the Airplane Mode prompt, but would only play audio from its internal speaker. It did, however, charge as expected. Then the iPhone software update 1.0.1 came out which solved the audio issue and allowed me to get the audio to my deck properly. I can't say for sure if it was still charging the iPhone at that point, but it definitely wasn't /draining/ it. Then, right around the time of the 1.0.2 update I started to notice significant drops in battery power when unplugging it after a drive to or from work (usually around 25 minutes). The audio still works fine, but the battery seems to drop at least 15-20% over that drive, whether I have any music playing or just have the iPhone idle but plugged in.
    So, software problem, maybe? I have a hard time believing something suggendly changed with the dock connector in my vehicle...

  • Ipods req the wall charger, old and new

    Ok, technical question here.
    What is the variable in an ipod requiring a wall charger for the final part of a restore? ipod type or powered usb port. I believe it's the type of ipod (with the powered usb port being a requirement for the ipod to connect to the computer), but read below with further details.
    I was under the assumtion that the ipods required a powered usb (1.1 or 2, 2 being the better choice) port, and if it was not powered, the ipod wouldn't connect in the first place. Am I correct with this, or are there like strange multiple versions of powered usb ports?
    The thing that leads me to believe that it depends on the ipod is because that is what I've dealt with during my stint doing psychotic ipod fixing. Same laptop/chord/usb port and everything, but the 5Gs/nanos did not require the wall charger during the restore process while the old 4Gs/1G minis did.
    If it was the poweredness (I don't know what else to call it!hah) of the usb port that was the variable, the older ipods would not have required it.
    These same findings have been experienced on the brand new two day old laptop I was using at work, and my one year old laptop at home.

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    There are 4 components to the charging circuit: Power adapter, dc-in card, logic board, and battery. It sounds like your power adapter is working alright. Based on your description, they replaced the dc-in card, which contains the port the rca plug from the power adapter goes into, and they replaced the battery.
    Have you reset the Power Management Unit (PMU)? See this Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=14449
    If a PMU reset doesn't fix it, take it back, explain that you've replaced the dc-in card and battery and it still doesnt't charge. Sounds like you have Applecare. They should take it, and replace the logic board, as that's the only component left in the charging circuit (again assuming your power adapter is good).

  • Need help finding a Palm Zire 72S wall charger

    Does anyone know where I can find a wall charger (ac) that is reliable with a Palm Zire 72S?
    Thanks for your help!
    Post relates to: Zire 72

    Radio Shack in the US has a charging system called iGo that has a basic charging brick with different tips for different devices.  The tips adjust the correct polarity and voltage.  I use it to charge my cell phone, GPS, and Palm TX and Zire72.

  • Is it okay to charge my iPod Touch with my wall charger on a regular basis?

    I like to use my iPod Touch at night before I go to sleep but since my computer is not in my room my iPod Touch is usually charging with the wall charger I bought (from Apple) for hours and usually overnight and its becoming that that is the only way I'm charging my iPod because at night that's the only time I'm using it.
    So my question is, is it okay to charge my iPod like that? I've been noticing that when I turn my iPod on and use it, it'll say there is half the battery left but usually when I turn it on the next day it says there is only 10% remaining and it's like that everyday.

    Yes, it's okay.
    You should let it run down completely every feew months to somewhat "calibrate" the battery meter though.

  • Using wall charger for first time I get error message "charging not supported by this accessory."  Been using since December and not seen this before.

    Using wall charger and am now getting error message "charging not supported by this accessory."  Have been using since December and this is first time I have encountered this.

    Did you look to see if there is debris or dust causing the problem? Get a flashlight and take a look to make sure.
    Is there something in the USB end of the cord perhaps?
    You didn't answer this question ....Are you using the charger and cord that came with your iPad?
    You could try changing cords if you have another one available to see if it is the cord. Have you tried connecting to your computer to see if you get the same message?
    You could try a hard reset by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears, let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. Then try the charger again.

  • Can an iphone wall charger be used to charge an ipod touch 4g?

    Hi all,

    Hi lllaass,
    Thank you for your reply. I am myself to think it is fine also, but I just want to make sure. Have a good day.

  • Charging Shuffle 3G using A Wall Charger

    my shuffle 3G can be charge using a PC. But when using regular USB wall charger it is not showing the light to indicate the Ipod is being charging! So I bought following charger from ebay!
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/120671316940?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m143 9.l2649
    But the result is same!
    Is shuffle 3G need data signal from PC to charge?
    (I'm using the USB cable which comes with shuffle)

    No, there is no need for a data signal to charge an iPod.  However, the quality of ultra-cheap items from eBay can be questionable.  $1.98?  How good could it be?  It is likely that the item you bought does not provide sufficient power, or is otherwise faulty.
    Apple just announced the "USB Power Adapter Takeback Program" to provide customers of Apple devices with high-quality power adapters for a reasonable price ($10).  Details here
    http://www.apple.com/support/usbadapter-takeback/
    You may want to take that one from eBay and exchange it for an official Apple USB power adapter (on or after 8/16).

  • Wall Charger Lost

    I lost my wall charger for my Palm Z22, but I have the usb cable so I can charge it by plugging it into the usb port on my computer. 
    I have a Belkin wall charger that I purchased to charge our Ipods.   It has a usb port to plug in the Ipod usb sync cable that came with the Ipod.  Would this be safe to use to charge my Palm Z22 when a computer isn't available for me to charge it?  Is charging it on the computer or Belkin charger going to cause problems with the life of the battery?  Another words is the Palm wall charger the best way to charge the Z22 or are any of these okay?
    Post relates to: Palm Z22
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    You can use the USB charger for the Z22. The specs for USB are universal and any USB port could be used for charging.
    If you want to replace the AC power charger, do a Google search for the power supply. There are many different sites that carry the Palm accessories.

  • HT1665 USB Wall charger

    Please advise, if a USB wall charger itself should be certified by "Made for iPhone"?
    Is there any compatibility issue in case of use any USB wall charger (output: 5V / 1A), by an "iPhone" original cable (USB to lightning connector)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Shmulik

    Thankd Allan,
    The question is if Apple also mark / certify a stand alone USB wall charger (without the cable)
    with "Made for iPhone" as with other accessories?
    Thanks in advance,
    Shmulik.

  • Mophie Juice Pack Charging Questions

    I just upgraded to an iPhone 6+ and am putting it in a Mophie Juice Pack.  The Juice Pack has a lightning fitting that goes into the iPhone when inserted, but the Juice Pack itself uses the older micro USB.  The Pack comes with a micro USB to USB cable for charging both the phone and Juice Pack from your computer.
    Questions:
    1.  Does this mean any 2.1 amp wall charger (like the one supplied with the phone) will work and not damage anything?
    2.  Will any USB car charger/adapter also work without damaging anything?
    I think the answers to both of these questions is yes, but I thought I'd ask.  If I have to be careful, what brands of wall and auto chargers do you recommend?

    you are totally safe using the 2.1amp charge with your juice pack and a micro USB cable.
    Just do NOT use the cheap $3-5 chargers or the really cheap crazy thin cables as they don't have the over charge protection or shielding that is required for this power draw.
    Enjoy your phone!

    Any warranty has to go through the retailer with Blackberry products, in this case future shop.
