Can I use a 5V, 1000mAh, (so, 5watts) charger?

Can I use a 5V, 1000mAh, (so, 5watts) charger for an iPhone4s & iPhone5 safely?

A USB charger with that output will be fine. Those are actually the specifications of the Apple supplied charger that comes with the iPhone.

Can I use a samsung galaxy cord to charge my Iphone?

I have a samsung galaxy and want to only carry 1 cord when I travel. Can I use the samsung USB cable to charge my Iphone? they look the same but I don't want to try if Someone is sure it will hurt my phone.

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.

Can I use Goal Zero Nomad 7 solar charger to charge I Phone5?

Can I use Goal Zero Nomad 7 solar charger to charge I Phone5? When I hooked it up to the Goal Zero charger I got the normal "charging" chirp sound from the phone but when I checked on the charging progress about 30 minutes later the I Phone 5 had a warning message saying "Charging is not supported with this accessory" with a black exclamation mark in a yelllow triangle. Am I doing harm to my IPhone 5 to use the Goal Zero charger? The GZ website makes a big deal of how this charger can charge an IPhone5 and makes not mention of incompatibilty. But the replies on GZ's youtube video include numerous mentions of this problem. GZ responds that the user should contact [email protected] at GZ for help. I wrote that person just now. Let's see what they say.

The iPhone 5 requires 5 volts x 5 watts and 1 amp, the goal zero nomad 7 puts out only 2.5 watts x 5 volts and 0.5 amps.. This is where your problem lies, not enough juice for the iphone.
I would recommend the Suntactics sCharger-5 (the charger I have) which puts out 5 volts x 5 watts and 1 amp, which is exactly the same amount of juice the iphone requires.

Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?

Can I use the iPhone when is he charging?

Andy, I'd like to know where you got that information, [citation/source needed]
Whenver you see the plug symbol on the iPhone, it means its running on external power.
Some datacenters use this method/always-on UPS, (AC power charges the battery bank, datacenter is connected to the other end of the battery) If there is any interruption in mainline power, the system stays up while the generator warms up.
Do they have any battery degradation issues? Nope.
Apple designed the iPhone to handle multiple methods of charging and discharging events.
Remember, when new on the forums, whenever/wherever you post, people are trusting the information you provide, if its inaccurate, out-of-date, etc, you might want to do some research and learning about new technology.

Can I use my iPad when it is charging

Can I use my iPad when it is charging without hurting the battery?

Sure, but it won't charge as fast.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

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.

Can I use a 220 volt plug to charge my iPad in Germany?

I'm going to Germany and they have 220v. I have the little attachment to plug in the german electric outlets. Would that work?
Thx

The iPad charger can be use in any country because it is rated 100V to 240V.
You only need a plug adapter.

Can I use my iPhone while it's charging?

You can use your iPhone while it charges. I use my iPhone 4 when it charges and when I also play games on it. Battery life is still good.

Can I use my firewire AC plug to charge new Nano?

I am sure that I can't sync music with the firewire cable. I have 2 firewire AC plugs that I would like to use to charge my new Nano so I don't have to leave a computer awake just to charge. Safe to do?
Thanks

Yes, you can use your FireWire AC plug to charge the Nano. I have personally tried. Provided the other end of the cable is Ipod Native, which I assume it is.

Can I use iPad's 10w adapter to charge iPod Touch 4th Gen.

I just want to know is it safe to charge my iPod touch 4 and iPod Shuffle 3rd Gen with an iPad adapter. And will the 10w damage my battery in any way? Thanks!

I found this answer in the Apple Store/Product Details page: can I use this 10W adapter to charge my iphone or ipod as well?
According to Apple it is at least compatible to the iPhone4: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC359LL/A?fnode=MTc0MjU4NjA&mco=MTc0NzA4NzA

Can I use BTWiFi-with-FON free of charge while wai...

Hi,
I am currently with TalkTalk but looking to come to BT because of the woeful service I got from them and I have a question I need answered before I make the switch.
When I go to process my order my earliest date for an engineer to come to my home is around 4 weeks from now which means I won't have internet access during that time, but I noticed today I am in a BTWiFi-with-FON hotspot which is universally free for all BT members (I believe). Would I be able to benefit from this service as soon as I make my order? And not have to wait for an engineer to come out before I have any internet access at all?
Surely when I click confirm and I have a username and password I am considered a member and should have access to use these hotspots like any other ordinary member...?
I tried calling your customer service lines but they had no clue what I was talking about so figured I would try here.
Thanks.

I doubt that BT would be swayed by that. This is what the residential broadband T&C say:

Can you use the iPod connector cable to charge the iPhone or

only the cable that came with the iPod?
Also, I put the iPhone briefly into my old inMotion speakers and a message
came up saying that the device didn't support an iPhone and would either not
charge my iPhone or have bad consequences for my iPhone-i wasn't sure-it did
work in the speakers tho.

I use an iPod connector almost all the time and have never had a problem, even after market iPod connectors, but you'll get a different response depending on who you talk to. The guy at the Genius Bar told me yes, but phone support said no. Short answer...You should be able to use the iPod connector.
When you plug the iPhone into some 3rd party devices, you'll get a message stating "not compatible with iPhone" but that is because you are going to get interference because of the cell signal. You can put it into Airplane mode to avoid the interference or just deal with the interference and just click OK. That being said, I have read other posts where these devices do cause damage to the iPhone so proceed at your own risk.

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.
