Can my iphone car charger charge the iPad?

I have a car charger for my iPhone. Is it safe to use that for the iPad?

The normal iPod/iPhone car chargers output 1amp The iPad needs 2Amp to charge normally
If you have a " cigarette lighter" power  socket several manufacturers supply inserts with a 2.1amp USB outlet
for instance the Griffin Powerbolt and Kensington also do one

  • Can an iphone car charger be used safely with an ipad?

    can an iphone car charger be used safely with an ipad?

    Safely? Yes. Effectively? Probably not. iPhones use 5W chargers. iPads need 10@ chargers. Unless the charger you have is rated for both devices, it will only charge the iPad if the screen is off and then only very slowly.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Thinking of replacing my macbook with an ipad for travel overseas, can I plug my iphone4 into the ipad for charging?

    thinking of replacing my macbook with an ipad for travel overseas, can I plug my iphone4 into the ipad for charging?

    no
    the USB does not out out enough power to charge anything.
    And if you want to share chargers it's best to share your iPad charger with your iPhone. the iPad charger is a 10W charger, the iPod ones are 5W. So it'll charge, just not as fast as 'normal'

  • Can an iPhone 4th Gen charger be used to charge iPod  Nano 7th Gen?

    Can an iPhone 4 Gen charger be used to charge an iPodNano 7th Gen?

    Yes it should work, I believe if the voltage or amperage is too low the iPod will not recognize it. But any USB based charger should charge any device that can charge by USB as long as it meets the 5 volt USB standard.
    The only exception is the iPad which requires higher amperage to charge, although I believe they will still slow charge when off from the lower powered chargers. Even if using a higher amperage charger an iPod will only drawn the power it needs.
    I now look for USB charging when shopping for my gadgets, it cuts down on the power adapters I need when traveling.
    Be aware that cheaper USB chargers, usually found on EBay, may not meet the USB standards and may not charge and could damage the iPod. Stick to good name brand models.

  • 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

  • HT1766 I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s.  The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music.  How can I get all items on the iPad?

    I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s.  The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music.  How can I get all items on the iPad?

    you are using I tunes as the middle man for this back up, right?
    When you plug in the pad to i tunes, give it a unique name, like my pad.  I tune may be thinking it is talking to your phone.  It will keep track of what you what on each device.  Then plug your phone back in, and make sure your photos are uploaded to the computer - in i photo if you are using a mac, or in whatever photo program you are using on a windows device.  You also want to make sure you have uploaded to the computer all of your music.
    Once you get all that stuff there, plug the pad back in, and go through each of the tabs - selecting the music, photos etal that you want on the pad, then resync.

  • I can't found weather icon on the iPad

    Hello I can't found weather icon on the iPad after I update iOS 7

    See the following topic:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5326470?start=0&tstart=0
    Also note there is no built-in Weather "app" on the iPad (if that's what you were looking for), accessible from the home screen as there is on the iPhone. The iPads never came with one.

  • How can I edit events in on the iPad syncing with mobileme beta version?

    We use MobileMe to sync events in Cal between an iMac, a MacBook and 2 iPhones. We just migrated to the beta version of Calendar in Mobile me and it works fine. We share calendars between our machine successfully using MobileMe (Beta).
    We just got a brand new iPad (WiFi 16GB) and configured it without problem except one. All the events are visible but cannot be edited on it. We can create a new event on the iPad but it won't show on the iMac.
    This issue does not exist with the Contacts or the Mails
    I guess this requires a specific parameter setting in MobileMe in this case. What do we need to change?
    Thank you in advance for helping.

    Actually we just found how to configure the iPad in the information provided by Apple in the MobileMe page (Calendar Beta for iPad)

  • I purchased the ipad and apple care but only the ipad arrived

    help i purchased ipad and the apple care but only the ipad arrived.
    is apple care already on the computer.

    You should have received an email from Apple with the receipts for the iPad and your AppleCare. AppleCare is not on your iPad... if you have a problem with your iPad that you cannot repair yourself, then you would contact AppleCare for help.

    You can register your iPad at that link.

  • Can't iPhone have Thai keyboard the same way as the PC keyboard?

    I been using iPhone since 3GS, 4, and now 4S.
    I been using WhatsApp communicating with my friend and family a lot.
    Since I'm from Thailand, I use Thai keyboard in WhatsApp most of the time.
    iPhone Thai keyboard is very difficult to type.
    Can't iPhone have Thai keyboard the same way as the PC keyboard?
    iPad already has it.  Why can't iPhone has it?
    Many Thai people feel the same way as I am.
    Many iPhone user in Thailand jailbreak their iPhone because they want the keyboard the same way as PC keyboard.
    All iPhone user must use the keyboard everyday to communicate.
    Imangine that Thai people have to use the keyboard everyday and having a hard time using it.
    Please consider giving Thai people the keyboard that we can use with ease.

    To turn on Thai keyboardin your iPhone with iOS4.0.2++, follow the steps below.
    1. Go to settings
    2. Select General
    3. Select Keyboard
    4. Select International Keyboards
    5. Select Add Keyboard...
    6. Search for Thai
    This should add Thai keyboard to your iPhone.
    In order to use Thai keyboard during text SMS/MMS,
    Tap and hold on the lower left where there is a "Globe" like icon. You should see a small window with a selection of keyboards available. Without letting go, run you finger (still holding to the globe like icon) to Thai and you should be able to start typing in Thai.
