6 Plus Charging Question:Is it safe to use a 12w power adapter (from an iPad) to charge an iPhone 6 plus or do I need to stay with the 5w provided in the box? Would the 12w cause any damage to the phone over time?
Would like to get some additional charging accessories to have for different location and would like them all to be as efficient as possible without doing any damage to the phone. Any thoughts on what I can use?
Hi TTToth3,
As you will see from the article below, your 12w iPad charger is perfectly fine to use with your iPhone:

HT1665 Can I use a 10 W USB power adapter from an IPad to charge an iPhone 5s.
I have 10 W. USB power adapter that I bought for my iPad. Can I plug my iPhone 5s into it to charge? I see that the adapter that comes with the 5s is listed at 5 watts.
volts are pushed amps are drawn
if a charger provide the 5volts ios devices were meant to be charged by it does not matter
if it can provide 1000 amps making it a 5000W device because of ohms law which state W = Amps * Volts -
Does using the iPad with hard touches to the screen cause any damage to the touch detector?
I have noticed some people using the touch interface of the iPad by touching the screen hard (the touch makes a sound). Does it cause any damage?
But 'hitting' the screen hard with the finger, does it hurt the touch screen?

i have n ipod 4th geration. it has no hardware damage or water damage. it will not turn on, charge, or connect to itues/computer. my computer will not even pick up any hardware connection when i plug it in. the screen stays black. ive tried holding the power and home button then letting go of the power button but nothing seems to be working. someone please help.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi
I'm trying to update my apps using the creative cloud desktop app. I can't see any apps in the app tab, the wheel just spins round and round and nothing happens. Has anyone got any ideas? I've tried uninstalling the desktop app and reinstalling but it still has the same problem.
Cheers

I'm in Brazil and need to talk via e-mail or chat, with the USA App Store. It happens that I made a purchase and did not get because I live in Brazil and mistakenly bought the site of the USA. How do I? Do you have any e-mail the department in charge?
I've tried, said they could not help and I should get in touch with the USA App Store. But the problem of getting in touch with the App Store USA is the only option I have on the phone, and my English is not very helpful. Therefore needed a complete address e-mail.

Will charging my iPhone 4S with iPad 4th generation 12w power adapter, ruin my battery?
Situation: my iPhone 4S is 4 months old, have had ZERO issues with battery life, until yesterday...
I just bought the newest iPad last week (retina display) and yesterday I plugged the iPhone 4s usb cable into the iPad 12w power adapter, to charge my 4s. Now my iPhone 4S is losing 1% every 4-5 minutes (not exaggerating, in fact it may be draining even faster than that). This is occurring even though all programs are closed and the phone is locked (screen is black)... Normally my battery will lose 5-10% while I sleep, last night it was dead within 5 hours !
I'm pretty disappointed becuz it seems I have ruined the battery. Can anyone think of any other reason for this to be happening?
In an attempt to rule out any software issues or potential malware, I backed up my 4s, put it in recovery mode and proceeded with a factory restore. Following that I restored from backup. To my dismay the freefall battery drainage is continuing :(
What are my options (if any) apart from heading over to apple store tomorrow to get bent over a barrel? Any help would be appreciated ....
Many thanks and happy holidays !Okay it's been 15 minutes and battery is still at 100%.
I have ton of apps and music as well as photos etc... I'm using 58Gb. So getting my stuff back on is a top priority. The only thing I did on the 24th (day the problem started) that I can think of, was register with talkatone (googles VoIP App). I'm thinking I delete that App from iTunes before restoring from backup?
Your help is much appreciated! -
Will an Apple 12W Power adapter damage an iTouch 5?
I am planning to buy a 12W Power Adapter for my itouch 5 but Im afraid that it will damage it since it's for iPads and iPhones/iPods can work with 5W power adapter.
Apple says it is compatible
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD836LL/A/apple-12w-usb-power-adapter?fnode=3cI sometimes use my 12 watt charger for all my devices and it is fine. The iPod limits the current/power so it does not damage the device -
ipod nano 7th generation having issues with the UI. Out of box everything worked great. Once I snyc the device and it finished, the UI becomes unuesable. You have to double tap every icon in order to open music, videos, etc. I cannot swipe to the second page of icons, black box appears around an icon and then switches to a different one anytime I swipe. A box even appears around the time and battery power. iPod & iTunes are both updated. What is the FIX on this issue?
I had this problem as well. This is what I found by searching online. I tried the fix on my nano 7th gen and it worked. I hope this helps you. Make sure to use two fingers for sliding and double-click the icons to get into settings. Good luck.
It would seem that Voiceover has been enabled on your iPod Nano. The following article contains information regarding Voiceover, and how to disable it once it's been enabled.
iPod nano (6th generation and later): How to use VoiceOver
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4317
To turn off VoiceOver on iPod nano using VoiceOver gestures
From the Home Screen, swipe right or left with two fingers until you see or hear "Page 2 of 2" on iPod nano (7th generation) or "Settings" on iPod (6th generation).
If the icons have been rearranged, or if there are more than four Home screens, you may hear something different.
Slide one finger around the screen until you hear Settings.
Double-tap to open Settings.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear General, then double- tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear Accessibility, then double-tap.
Slide your finger up or down the screen until you see or hear VoiceOver, then double-tap.
Double-tap when you hear "VoiceOver switch button on."
You'll hear "VoiceOver off" to confirm the setting. Now you can use standard gestures to control iPod nano.
Note: You can also turn off VoiceOver by resetting your iPod. -
I've just recently updated to the ver 4.0. After the update, I can't select my vertical scroll and any buttons on the search toolbar. I've tried switching off all the add-ons and running it on safe-mode but the problem still persist. Anybody encountered the same issue here? Any help would be good. Cheers
Okay. The missing menus at the top of iTunes (in recent versions) can indicate trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system. It's a new symptom of a problem that can also cause text to go missing from the Device tab in iTunes.
Unfortunately it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 systems than Vista or XP. (The "Vortical" instructions which can fix it for almost all folks on Vista and XP aren't applicable to Windows 7.)
Try having a look through the following (unfortunately very long) topic. It contains a lot of information on the Windows 7 variants of this, and possible methods for fixing the various Segoe UI-related issues that might be in play:

I have a work Mac, an air book, a home Mac; husband has desktop and laptop. That makes 5. My work computer was replaced and I do not know what the company did with it. I am not allowed to deauthorize all because I did this within the last year when I got my new airbook. Any way around the year limit? I don't know if I can find my old computer and I don't want to wait months to be able to play my ituens purchases on my new work computer.
If oyu already used up your "deauthorize all" option, you need to contact support so they can make an excemption:

i need to buy a new macbook pro/i am from OR, but i am in PA now/when i asked about that i found the tax will be around 100$/there is some one said to me that if i have the ID state of OR i would be able to buy it by the samr price/is it true ?
Goods delivered to you for personal or business use (not for resale) in Pennsylvania are subject to Pennsylvania state sales tax.
If you are exempt from Pennsylvania state sales tax, or are a Not-for-profit corporation and have a DBA certificate in Pennsylvania, you may be able to buy tax-free. I doubt this.
If you have the goods delivered to your address in Oregon, and there is no state sales tax in Oregon, you would not have to pay state sales tax.
Since Apple does business in all 50 states, they are also obligated to charge you sales tax (for the state where the goods are delivered) when you buy from the Apple Online store.
