Can I damage my iPhone by using a Motorola power adapter to charge my iPhone?

I used a Motorola power adapter because I simply couldn't find my iPhone charger is this a problem?

Motorola USB power adapters work fine. Here we use one from a Motorola Backflip Phone and it works great with all iPhones we have.

  • Using iPod mini Power Adapter to charge iPod 5G ???

    Hi!
    I got my new iPod 5G. Now I'd like to use the old iPod mini power adapter. It got a Firewire connection. Does it work? Or do I destroy my new iPod???
    Thanks a lot!

    The power adapters can be used with any iPod or iPod Nano, they aren't model specific. A 5th Generation iPod can be charged by Firewire, it just can't use a Firewire cable to update. Updating of any iPod after the 4th Generation or the Mini can only be done via USB.

  • Can i use the same power cord to charge my iPhone and my iPad.

    I have an iPhone 5 and an iPad Air. The connection pins are the same, the ony difference is the size of the plug square.
    thanks,
    marcia

    The Cables are identical no difference.
    The Plugs are of different power outputs.
    You can use the larger iPad charger to charge both the iPhone and the iPad.
    And while you can use the smaller iPhone charger to charge the iPad it will take longer to charge due to the lack of power, and the iPad will need to be in sleep mode for it to actually charge.

    No, they do not look the same.  Open your eyes and take a 2nd look.
    The iPhone cable connects to the iPhone via Apple's proprietary dock connector.
    The cable for the galaxy connects via an industry standard microUSB cable.

    I don't know about that for sure, but my guess is that it won't matter.  Battery technology today is much better.   You should follow Apples battery tips here:

  • Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod

    Can I use the same wall adapter to charge my ipad and my ipod touch

    No offense, but that's nice. I heard I was wrong and that what I said didn't make sense, so I simplified it. If I'm wrong, fine, but you have no reason to be such a *****. You never explained why I was wrong and you were right, so how am I or anyone else suppose to know that for sure? Then I tell you my source, and you insult me some more and then ask for my background, which as for this area goes, I already gave you. I worked at an Apple store for Christmas and was told by someone on the Genius team to tell customers not to charge iPads via iPhone chargers, as they had been known to fry the adapter or in one weird case, the actual outlet. Now I could see the outlet blowing be a bunch of other contributing factors, and not directly associated with the charger. However, the topic arose when a customer came in because her iPhone wall adapter didn't seem to be working, but wasn't that old, and admitted to charging her iPad with it. Why would I NOT believe that?
    And my DEEPEST apologies on commenting on old threads. I know how vital that is to existance and what an inconvenience it is to EVERYONE else. I'll be honest, I wasn't checking dates as I assumed suggested posts with like one answer near the top of the list were newer.
    Fine, I did something foolish, but I still win as I'm not either of you heartless ****** with nothing better to do than Internet harass others. Congratulations on your existences.

  • OK to use iPod Power Adapter to charge iPhone?

    At the Apple Store, they told me that I could use a power adapter and cable for an iPod with my iPhone. Seems to work fine, charges the battery fine. But I notice that in the tiny print on the side of the iPod power adapter it says, "Output 12V -- .67A". The print on the side of the adapter that came with the iPhone says "Output 5V -- 1A".
    Wouldn't want to fry my phone battery with those extra volts.

    It's not $29.99 + $19.99. They include with the iPhone both a dock/charger and a power adapter/wall plug charger. But only one cable between either of them and your iPhone. So, if you have a computer in one room and you charge your phone overnight in another room, you need another cable.
    One solution is to to use some cable you already have, that fits, such as I did once, from an iPod 2 or 3 years old. But I had to use the power adapter that came with that cable/iPod, since the USB cable end was different. It said output: 12V. the iphone power adapter said output: 5V.
    So, although the cable fit and the iPhone charged seemingly fine, I was not comfortable charging my $600 iphone with a 12v charger when the one that came with it was a 5v charger. I paid just $19.99 for a duplicate cable to the one that came with the iPhone, used the 5v power adapter that also came with it. Just in case. The apple guy at the "genius bar" agreed: it "ought to work" but, yeah...it's disconcerting...
    So, that's the story. I now have a dock on my iMac and a power-adapter from the wall in my bedroom. Both supplied with the iPhone. Both using identicl cables.
    What I would like to know, from some tech person, is YEA or NAY. The 5v and 12v iphone and ipod adapters are interchangeable OR they are not and WHY. Otherwise, we are all just speculating.

  • HT4060 Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

    Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

    The iPod charger is only 5W.
    The iPad 2 needs a 10W charger.
    It will charge slower and hotter.

  • IPad WiFi 3G can't be charged using the 10W power adapter

    Hi,
    My new iPad gives me Not charging sign when I use the 10W power adapter comes with, and even I can't connect it to iTunes in my Macbook Air, windows XP, or windows7 laptops. I tried everything apple support provided but again nothing.
    So, I'm open for suggestions.

    I would try another charger and cable.
    If that doesn't fix the problem, I'd take it back to the seller for replacement.

  • Get "using too much power" message when charging with USB

    I have a 4th gens iPod Touch that appears to have a number of issues:
    1. get "using too much power" message when charging with USB
    2. can't re-boot
    3. unable to access iCloud Backup, Ignore and Settings button inactive
    4. unable to unlock unit when using the Home button to turn the unit on

    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 another cable                                                       
    - 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.
