Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook?

Hello,
I got a PlayBook and it came with the wrong charger plug. It's for the US that I can't use here in Germany.
Can I use my Android tablet charger for the PlayBook instead?
The information on the chargers are similiar but for the output it's a bit different: (They both say 5V but than 1.8 instead of 1.5)
PlayBook charger output: 5V = 1.8A
Android tablet charger output: 5V = 1.5A
Thanks for any feedback.

It'll charge slightly slower, but yes.

Can i use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air

Can I use my iphone 5 charger for the ipad air?

It's really not recommended. The iPhone's 5w charger does not output enough current to properly charge the battery. It -may- charge but if it did, it would charge the iPad very slowly.
This would be like trying to fill a bucket of water (iPad) with a squirt gun (5w charger)
Also under iOS 7, the charging requirements are much stricter than iOS 6. You'll likey get an error message if you try.

Can I use my iPad mini charger for my iPhone 5c.

Can I use my iPhone 5c charger for my iPad mini

Hi 50mike,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.
Click on the link to see more details and screenshots.
iPhone, iPad, iPod: Using iPad Power Adapters
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4327
You can use the iPad mini charger to charge the iPhone 5C, but not recommended the other way around.
The article below explains that the iPhone charger is meant to charge only iPhones and 1st generation iPad mini.
iPad: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
To charge your iPad battery, try one of these:
Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and USB power adapter (use the table below to determine which adapter is intended for your iPad.)
Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.
Note: Some USB 2.0 ports and accessories do not provide enough power to charge iPad. When this occurs the message "Not Charging" appears in the status bar next to the battery icon.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

So can I use our local internet provider for the e-mail account, or do I have to use Apple?

So can I use our local internet provider for the e-mail account, or do I have to use Apple?

Yes, you can use the Mail app on the iPod for your internet mail provider. Go to your provider's mail support website to find out how to set up the account on the iPod. They probably will not have instructions for an iPod but the one for the iPhone should do.

Can i use a 85 watt charger for my macbook pro that came with an 60 watt charger?

My charger broke a few weeks ago and i ordered another one on amazon and that broke within a week so i'm going to just buy another one from the apple store. But i dont want to wait to order one because i currently cant use my laptop since it died (i dont live near an apple store), but theres a store that sells apple products. they only have 85 watt for the laptops though. so would i be able to use that without ANY issues? I would rather order from the apple store than to buy something that can cause problems, so i just want to know if my macbook will be safe if i use an 85 watt instead of the 60 watt, which is what originally came with my laptop. Thank you.

An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

Can I use Nokia AC-16 charger for my Lumia 620?

Hi guys, first post here.
I couldn't find this anywhere, however i have both a Lumia 920, and a 620.
I just find it wierd that my white 620 comes with a black AC-50 charger rated for 1.3A and my black Lumia 920 comes with a white AC-16 rated for 1.0A.
I'm lending my 620 to my gf for a while and i read on the Nokia Lumia 920 user guide that both an AC-50 and AC-16 can be used to charge it, great!
But the Lumia 620 user guide states to use an AC-50, no mention of the AC-16.
So, anyone here with experience can tell me if i can, infact use an AC-16 for my Lumia 620? It makes more sense to swap them around.
Thanks

AC-16 is compatible to the Nokia Lumia 620 so it's okay to use it as mentioned by adrianhughes.
AC-20, AC-50 and AC-50U are the other compatible USB chargers for the said phone. Cheers.

Can I use a 45 Magsafe charger for a Early 2011 i7 MBP regularly?

Hello,
A few weeks ago the 60w charger that came with my MBP started to fail and ended up shutting the mac down unexpectedly and preventing it to boot. Therefore, I had to take it to a tech to reinstall OS with all the inconveniences this caused me. Now the computer is fine.
A friend of mine lent me a spare charger he had and told me to use it, seems pretty new and fine, but I just got home and realized it is not 60w as the default MBP but 45 Magsafe charger.
I have been reading Q&As along the forum and I found different opinions, some say yes I can some strongly oppose to it.
I am planning to use it regularly for an average of 5-6 hours of daily basic use ( internet, browsing and downloading music ) can I be safe keeping it for a few months?
Thanks for your help in advance

The general rule is that a lesser charger than was intended for the computer will charge the battery (more slowly) or run the computer, but not both at the same time. While doing heavy tasks, it will be possible that the battery will drain somewhat even while the computer is on A/C power. Shouldn't be a major problem but you should try to get a proper charger to avoid any potential issues.

How can I use my Mac OS X for the next time

Dear sir,
Please, I need your help about Mac OS X and how can I use the OS for the next time I mean when I'm going to format my computer or to use for the another computer.
By the way... I already installed the Mac OS X to my MacBook Pro so please I'm waiting for you advice.

Hi,
He bought the iMac two years after mine.
Would his Mac still be under warranty? It sounds like it is about only a year old and so may be still eligible for phone support, though that may depend on having nearby access to an Apple Tech support.
He could get a replacement disk sent to him as well. The cost, I don't know.
Your disk would probably work, but you don't need to burn one; just use yours. If you are in two locations, then it would be better for Apple to mail him a replacement disk for his particular Mac.

Can I use something other than HDMI for the apple TV?

My TV and AVR are in different locations. For this I ran the connection with cat5 and hooked it all up with component video. The AVR won't down convert the hdmi to component out so therefore I can not plug hdmi into it. Does the apple tv connect video only through hdmi? If so could I hook up a unit to the tv itself and one to the receiver independently for sound?
I have a pioneer sc-25 and a samsung plasma (b650 maybe?)

That won't work. The only way you can get sound to the AVR without using the HDMI or optical cable is to use it as a remote speaker from iTunes. Remote speaker doesn't push video. You would have a synchronization problem between your tv and your remote speakers driven by iTunes.

Can I use an Australian iPad charger in the USA?

Hi,
Travelling to the USA and Japan soon, can I use my iPad charger connected to a simple Australia to USA converter?
My brother is in the USA right now an apparently fried his iPhone, so I'm a bit concerned.
Also, could the iPhone use the same charger?

Thanks guys.
I have two of these:

And one of these:

Will they do? I'm reluctant at the moment to buy anything more than I need to, and Apple stuff is always that bit more pricey.

Can I use a different email address for the forums than my Apple ID?

Hi,
I generally use a particular email address for all my computer/IT forum questions. This email address is different than my Apple ID email address.
Can I change my forum email address (doesn't look that way) without changing my Apple ID address?
Thanks,
Scott

Fair warning... years ago I went with my work email address as my Apple ID. Now, with the advent of iCloud and all the other 'services' attached to your Apple ID, I find that half the time I cannot log into any one particular service. Apple's servers and ID system is getting way too messy. Keep it as simple as you can. If you add a different email address you are pretty much guaranteed that things will get more complicated.
These days, to log into these forums I actually have to log into Apple Store first. The discussion log in page will not allow me to log in any longer.
Keep it simple!
Rick
