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.

    Is it okay to charge my ipad with my iphone 4 charger?

    You may be having problems with your battery. However, they were not caused by using your iPad charger. The iPad charger is compatible with the iPhone and can safely be used with it. If your phone is less than a year old, you may want to take it to your nearest Apple Store and have them take a look at it. If the battery is not functioning correctly, they will replace it for you.

  • Can I use higher watt charger for my ipad?

    My ipad came with 10w charger. the ipad takes 4 hours for 100% charge. Can I use higher watt charger to charge my ipad. Will it void the warranty?
    and I can i use my ipad while charging?

    Hi Gyanam,
    A higher watt charger will not charge your iPad any faster, but it will also not harm it in any way. So, yes, you can use a higher watt charger. And yes, you can use your device while it is charging.

  • Can you get a solar charger for the ipad 2?

    Does anyone know if you can get a solar charger for an ipad 2?

    There a few technical considerations to enable Ipad charging from PV's (solar cells)
    1. The output voltage must be no greater than 5.1vdc (max)
    2. The correct sensing resistors must be on the USB interface to turn on the charging circuitry just as in the iphone and Ipod.
    3. The output current must be high enough to actually charge the Ipad usually something greater than 800ma at
    5.1vdc. Usually the greater the better, The Apple supplied chargers are 2 amps. The output is stated in direct sunlight so again the greater the better.
    4. The weight, physical and type PV must meet the needs of the user.

  • How can I use Dropbox with pages for the iPad?

    TO make a long story short, a thunderstorm fried my desktop iMac which was the computer I was sharing my Pages documents with.  I don't have an AirPrint compatible printer and I need to be able to print documents that I create in Pages.  Since it might be 6 months or more before we can replace the old computer, I would like to use DropBox to share files between my windows computers and the ones at where I volunteer.  I was told that Pages for the iPad was compatible so how can I make this work for me?

  • What is the pixel or inches dimension to create a perfect sized wallpaper in Photoshop for the iPad air?

    I figured out by trying different sizes to make about a perfect sized wallpaper for the iPhone 5, but can't seem to make one for the iPad air. The dementions I used for the iPhone 5 was  1536x 894 pixels or (12.417 inches Wide x 21.333 inches Height) which fits the iphones wallpaper about perfect. Note this is with having reduce motion ON in the settings>accessibility tab. I used photoshop to create these wallpapers. Please let me know if you have figured this out        Thanks!

    I reduced the size of my photo small enough so when you go to install it you need to put two fingers on it to stretch it out to fit. Far from an exact science but doable.

    I have an iphone 4s just got the nano 6th generation for xmas can i use my iphone charger to charge the nano?

    Yes, you can. The iPhone 4S and 6th generation iPod nano use the same 30-pin charger, unlike the new Lightning charger used by the iPhone 5 and 7th generation iPod nano.

    Help! I have just broken my iPad charger, can I use my iPhone charger instead? What's the difference?

    As far as I know there is no difference, we use the same charger for iphone, ipad, ipod, etc.. and no problem.

  • What can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for VZW on Sept 8?

    what can I use my Droid Charge for, after I upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy S2 for Verizon on September 8?
    I guess it can run fine on Wi-Fi and become a media player.... or is there a market for 1-month-old Droid Charge phones?
    How much trade-in value can I get from VZW or BestBuy or Amazon?
    Thanks!

  • Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Hi, we have two iphones with two accounts.  The apple tv automatically syncs with one account to play music from the iphone to apple tv.  How can I use my iphone to do the same?

    Our experience is a little different, we have different iTunes accounts for different family members, each family member has their own iTunes library on their own mac, each mac uses my Apple ID for homesharing and we are able to play purchased content from each library on the Apple TV.

  • Do you make a solar powered charger for the iPad

    Do you make a solar powered charger for the iPad .

    I do quite a bit of hiking and I have been using a sunleaf pro solar charger to charge my iPad 2. It's the only one that I have found that is in my price range (under $200) that can charge it directly without the use of a battery. It also folds up really small so it is easy to take with in my pack. I have tried other solar chargers rated at 7 and 10 watts but neither would actually provide any meanigful charge. My iPad would show the charging symbol but the percentage of charge would seldom increase. I think the sunleaf is rated at 15 watts.
    Hope this help
