Can the USB cord and charging plug be used interchangeably between iPad Air and Pad mini?

I have a new iPad air and a new iPad mini. Both seem to have the same white USB cable, but the charging plug adapters are different sizes. Can they be used interchangeably with each other? In other words, can I use the Air adapter to charge the Mini without a problem and vice versa?

The charger that comes with the iPad Air is 12 watts while the one that comes with the standard mini is 5 watts. As Kappy mentioned, the higher wattage charger (12 watt) can be used with both. If you try to use the 5 watt charger with the iPad Air, you'll likely get a Not Charging message. It may still charge but it will be very slow and it's not really recommended.
The cables themselves are identical, no issue there.

  • What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone?

    What is the best wireless printer to use with an IPad Air and IPhone that will print both text and photos?  Also, is the separate keyboard available for the IPad Air, yet?

    Best is relative. Different people like different things. I have an epson that I like. I'd look through a site like Best Buy and compare reviews for Air Print enabled printers.
    as to the keyboard, I know Zagg has one and I think there are other manufacturers that have keyboards for the Air. As far as I know, pretty much any bluetooth keyboard will work, but if you want a case then you'd need to get a specific one.

    Do you mean you want to sync or transfer data using a cable? Between and iPad Air and what "other device"?

    You need to purchase both. They are different apps.

  • FaceTime volume issue between iPad Air and iPad 2

    I've noticed that when making FaceTime calls between iPad Air and iPad 2, the volume on iPad 2 is too soft and the volume on iPad Air is too loud. This only occurs between 2 different type of iPads. If both parties use the same type, the volumes on both sides are roughly the same and loud enough to be heard clearly. I've also verified with Skype which produced roughly the same loudness when video calling between an iPad Air and an iPad 2.
    Just hope Apple can take notice of this issue and rectify in the new iOS release.

    Yeah, what's up with this? I too have PDF's I want to sync between iPhone5s and new iPadAir. I'm not having luck!. You would think it would be SIMPLE!

  • Handoff won't work between iPad Air and Macbook Pro

    I'm trying to get handoff to work between my iPad Air and Macbook Pro (Late 2013). I have tried turning all devices on and off again, turning the handoff on and off again and turning iPhone Cellular Calls on and off again on both devices.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

    This fixed your connectivity problem. However, I don't think this has actually fixed any problem.
    I think this Handoff feature is buggy. I have three devices -- a MBP, an iPad Mini, and an iPhone 5 -- and I have done "the dance" you've described and only one of my devices, the iPhone, is now Handoff capable. The iPad Mini still doesn't support Handoff.
    I think there is a problem in the software and that all of this signing in, signing out, powering on, powering off, is just getting the devices to clean themselves up so that stuff can start from a fresh slate and attempt to work together again...sort of. It's not necessarily guaranteed.

  • Transferring files and photos between ipad air and pc

    Is there a way to easily transfer file and photos back and forth between the ipad air and a PC

    I am a new iPad Air user and had the same question earlier today. However, I found it was answered in the iPad User Guide available via iTunes Help.

  • Can you give me some ideas on which to buy between macbook air and macbook pro?

         I am going to start another year in college very soon and I need a laptop to handle my school work or projects. I don't know what to choose between Macbook Air 13" (2013) and Macbook Pro 13" (RAM 8GB - Not Retina Display). Here are what I need to do on computer:
         - Long time surfing through the internet.
         - Social network : Facebook, Instagram, Line, Skype ....
         - Watching movies online (mayb more than 3-4 hours)
         - Typing documents or making slide shows.
         - A lot of documents, HD videos/movies, photos and music.
         - Using some graphic/plan design programs such as CorelDraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, AutoCad and so on. (Monthly but I still have to use it.)
         - Games are no needed cuz m not a gamer.
         That's all or maybe more, but I can't think of right now. My money is around 1500$. If you guys think I might need Air, should I configure it to match my expectations? I hope to having some good ideas from you. Thanks in advanced.

    Ive got BOTH the Pro and AIr youre interested in, for what YOU say you want, Id get the Air.
    Since you said you were only going to "some graphic/plan design programs", the Air is perfect for moderate Photo editing.
    and you said no games.
    Air has fewer parts, only one moving part (the fan), lite as an Ipad (almost) but a full powered computer.
    No HD heads to crash, fewer parts = simplicity = less to fault.  
    Runs cooler than anything else out there (which = durability).  Heat is a killer on a scale of 10X over that of accidents.
    Pack around a regular notebook around about 20 days, then an Air, .....after that the standard laptops stays at home.    
    Air is the only Mac that has Haswell, 802ac wifi, and incredible 12hr. batt life in 13" I5.
    Get the 13" much longer battery life, and the screen real estate is better, Ive owned both 11" and 13".     13" also has an SD card slot the 11" doesnt have.

  • Email sync problem between iPad Air and iPhone 6+

    Hello,
    I have a user that travels quite a bit. We use Office 365 Enterprise
    for our emails. He is reporting email sync issues between iPhone and iPad. Meaning
    sometimes he will receive emails on the iPhone but not on the iPad or vice versa.
    Both devices use the same AT&T network. Does anyone out there have any
    suggestions as to what may be causing the sync problem between devices? I am
    not sure if the devices ever have the same emails on the inbox. Does this make
    sense? I will be happy to provide any other information if needed.
    Thank you!

    Hey daniel hkn,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like the email account may be configured and setup as a POP account. If so, check out this resource:
    Using a POP account with more than one device - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201855
    When using the same POP email account on more than one device, email messages may appear only on the first device that receives them. This occurs when an email client is configured to automatically remove email from the server after an email client has received it. You can configure your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac either to keep a copy of the email on the server, remove it after a certain number of days have passed, or keep it until you move it from your inbox.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
