100% Cheapest and easiest way to Charge iPhone 3G in your car - Works

OK So i have spent a long time in these forums, and other forums, looking for a way to charge the iPhone 3G in my car. There have been lots of posts explaining why current chargers wont work and because of the firewire pins being removed etc, yet noone has posted the cheapest, quickest and easiest way to combat this problem.
All you have to do is puirchase the following item for £6, there may be a store right by you, plus your existing charger cable into the outlet (because your existing charger cable has the correct pin configuration) and it will charge straight away.
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=99487&criteria=car%20charger%20usb& doy=3m8
Or search for item A66GA on www.maplin.com if the link doesnt work
Its cheap, easy, works, (i know this because i bought one) and it wont burn a hole in your pocket.
This unit puts out exactly the correct requirment for the iPhone 3G to charge, 5v at 1000mAh. This is what is written on the box, ignore the FAQ response on the site.
The only problem is you have to take your cable with you if you need to charge in the house, but im sure you can buy a spare cable somewhere quite easily because if you broke yours for example, you wouldnt be able to charge at all would you? and although Apple arnt the best im sure they would understand they need to offer speare cables.
Hope this solves the issues people are having.
Cheers,

You can't beat this deal. Buy this:

monoprice is by far the way to go for accessories. Screen protector is dirt cheap as well.

TS2771 My ipod touch will not hare no matter what and I've tried many different cables and different ways to charge it. What should I do? If I complain to the Apple store co. will they replace my ipod for free?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable
- Try another charging source
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

What is the best and easiest way to speed up a Mac-MINI?

What is the best and easiest way to speed up a Mac Mini without adding memory?

I'd tried to reply yesterday to your question but for some reason it didn't go anywhere and I got a red message box in the Discussion post area with "error." After trying three times, including log-out, clear cookies from browser (and history) and back in, I still was unable to add my post with links to resources for your Mini, here. And the last time I tried that, the copied text also went missing as I found it gone after considering to make a Text document of it, for later posting.
Anyway, the http://iFixit.com site has guides on how to replace RAM in the computer you have. Note there are different models shown and from what I remember, yours is the last 'old look' Mini with an optical drive. The model after that is thin, a 2010 model with slot in front for discs; the next one has no internal optical drive.
RAM specs: 2 - 204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM (replace pair) up to 8GB total. Best price would be an online vendor of repute, once you know about what they sell for, you could ask a local mac expert if they could get you a better than retail price. I get ram from OEMPCworld and shipping is about $1. including insurance to my post office box, priority or 1st class. At about half retail. Crucial (website) offers parts, too; and so does OWC (other world computing).
In addition, I recommended checking into the build specs and quality of the OWC (esales) site for external enclosures with their own power supply, for hard disk drive; for storage and bootable clones on different partitions. And see about Bombiche Carbon copy cloner, it is a commercial product now, not donationware. I've used it successfully to make competely bootable clones on a suitable external HDD (drive should have own power supply, too) A 750GB HDD in a self-powered enclosure that can boot Mac OS X from a clone, is a good start on backing up your upgraded OSX in a way you can clone it back into an empty, wiped or new HDD inside the computer; and it can run from the external. You can't necessarily use a TimeMachine that way.
This should be your Mini -- check other indicators to be sure:
http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Mini_Model_A1283
A serial number lookup site such as the one I end up using because I had it bookmarked is OK: http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php & also have mactracker http://mactracker.ca
Anyway, before I time out or exceed post content(?) This is not all I meant to write before.
Good luck & happy computing!

Purchasing an app from the App Store does not mean that Apple's forums are the right place to ask questions about it. Asking about it here is roughly similar to asking another customer at Wal-mart how to assemble the bicycle you bought there. Ask the company that created the app, using the link Bob gave you.

The quickest way and easiest way to answering a call?

[Battery]-About Meaning of Cycle and the Way of Charging

Dear Apple support team/Experienced users,
I have a macbook pro 13" version Middle 2012 a question about the meaning of cycle term of battery in macbook pro.
After reading manual and refer to information on the internet, here is my understanding about cycle term.
* After using all the power of battery, then charging fully, it is a cycle.
* Cycle also means:
     1/ Firstly, battery level is 100%. (On Monday)
     2/ Secondly, use battery to the level 50%. (On Monday)
     3/ Thirdly, recharge macbook pro to the level 100%. (On Monday)
     4/ Do from step 1 to step 3 for the next day. (On Tuesday)
     After receving level 100% on this day(On Tuesday) , we made one cycle.
The more cycle we can do, the worse battery life we can get.
So i have a question related to the way of charging and creating cycle.
Example:
     1/ On Monday, i have battery level at 100% (From the first day of current month)
     2/ Then i use to battery level 50%
     3/ After that i charge the battery to level 98% (not up to 100%)
     4/ Do from step 2 to step 3 until the end of current month.
     5/ On the first day of next month, i use all power of battery. Then i let my macbook pro sleep up to 5 hours.
     After that i do fully charge for macbook pro.
     At this time, i made a cycle for my battery.
Would you please give me your idea about the way of understanding about the cycle i had up to now?
I am looking forward to seeing your replies as soon as possible.
Once again, thanks for your reviewing my question, dear sirs/madams.
Best regards,
Newbietomac84

Dear sir,
Thanks for your reply.
Your saying make me set my mind at rest on battery issue. But i also wait for the reply from Mr.Csound1 or other people who has the same thought.
Because if his saying is correct, maybe i should not need to care about the way of charging, but keep its level not to reach 0% (maybe 10% for more safely than 1%).
Because at that time, according to his information, i understand that battery chip is counting the percentage of charging, and at the time the total number of charge is come to 100%, it will increase count number by 1 and take care of counting charge level by its self again.
Example:
(First time of charge is 50%(from level 50% to 100%); second time of charge is 30%(from level 50% to 80%); third time of charge is 20%(from level 50% to 70%))
=> Total number reached to 100% and battery chip will increase count number by 1
=> Battery chip will start to check percentage of charging for next time as it made before. (start checking charge number from level 0%)
In case of his saying is not correct (confirmed by other people here), i will keep continue charging battery as written before in my first post (also same as your encouragement).
Once again, thank you for your reply dear Mr.Network 23.

HT201401 My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I have to restart it. Then it shows low battery sign (even though it was 100%). Within 1 minute of charging, iphone starts. Pl. resolve.

My iPhone3GS has started crashing. I'll be mid-phone call, or using an app, when the screen will go dark. I'll have to do a restart. It dumps to the warning screen that there's no power and needs to be plugged in.
Once I connect the phone to a power source, in a couple of minutes it's ready to roll again, and displaying a "full battery" icon.
The phone is almost always fully charged when this happens, and I don't get a crash when the phone is plugged into a power source.
Took my iphone to apple store, they informed that battery is very good and there is no need for replacement. Might be there is a problem with iphone motherboard. But they can't repair it as my 3GS crossed warranty.
Where should I go to repair this. Within 2 years...this 32GB 3GS is almost garbage for me with no support from apple. I am ready to send it to apple for repairs and pay the repair charges.
I tried everything... deep reset ... factory settings .... nothing is working... Apple staff pl. take care of your customers ...

Fastest and easiest way to transfer system & files G3 to G5

I have a G3 b&W with a 400 firewire card in it, and two basic ATA hard drives. Which would be easiest way to transfer 10.3.9 system (with classic) by means of Carbon Copy Cloner, and all files to a partition on the G5 Mac.
Since the G5 has 400 & 800 firewire, or ethernet transfer.
I think Migration Assistant will help with the transfer, but not sure wich way to go about this.
Berry

Hi Berry, to use CCC you need an older version for 10.3, version 2.3, because the B&W doesn't support FWTDM.
Put the G5 in FW Target Mode…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
Wait for the G5's HD to show up on B&W.
But, if perchance it's just Classic you need, you can Simply copy OS9's "System Folder" & "Applications OS9" over.

HT4060 Is there a way to charge iPad when in the car?

Is there a way to charge an iPad when in the car?

Buy a car charger for the iPad (not for iPhone, make sure it is a 10W one)
Another way is to get a power inverter that turns your power point into a plug in and then use the iPad's regular charger

Whats the easiest way to transfer pics from my SD car to my mac

I am upgrading from an LG Revolution droid to an iPhone shortly and would like to know if anybody knows what the quickest easiest way would be to transfer all the pictures on my SD card onto my apple computer. I would love it if they could go directly into iphoto but am not sure if thats an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Just plug it in using the USB cord, find the phone storage on your computer (it will show up as a removable drive), then drag and drop.

Problems with the pin to charge iPhone 5 in the car

There is a problem using the very nice cases BELKIN to protect the iPhone 5 and trying to charge the phone in the car. The adapter- pin provided by MAC is to big (square) and do not allow the pin enter in the phone. It sems like it was a miscommunication between Apple and the manufactures of cases. The problem do not exist with the charger for home

likely they were just guessing
when it comes to charging then the only! thing that matter is the volt level
if one charge a device which was made to charge by 5volts with 12Volts it's big trouble
nothing else can give issues

Charging iPhone 5 interferes with car radio

When I charge my iPhone 5 with the car charger, it interferes with the radio (not other audio sources) and produces lots of static. Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas on how to solve it?

Search "Car radio interference causes" on Google, and you'll see that's normal.
Choose "Car radio interference filters" and you'll find solutions.

Is it safe to charge iPhone 5 in the car?

I just got the new iPhone 5 in white!! And I'm wondering if it is safe to charge it in your car. I've had android Phones in the past that had major battery issues and sprint thought that maybe it stemmed from the fact that I would charge them in my car. Granted I also used really cheap car chargers In the past with those android phones. it seems like thats one product apple itself doesn't make, so I'm wondering if it would be safe, and what brand of charger would you recommend, if any at all, thanks! liz
On another note, has anyone Experienced problems sending picture mail through MMS, mine just won't do it.
