Can you charge an ipad with an iphone charger

can you charge an ipad with an iphone charger?

Yes, you will cause no damage... it will just take a lot longer...
iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
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."

    You're not asking any question so I'll just ramble.
    You may have permanently damaged your iPad.  The iPad controls the current coming from the charger but the charger electronics must be capable of responding to the iPad.  Charge with a known good charger and then test your iPad.  If it's OK, you lucked out.  Otherwise...  If the charger was not an Apple charger, you're completely out of luck.  If it was an Apple charger, call Apple and discuss the issue with them.

  • Can't conect My IPad with my iPhone after uppgrading to 5.0

    Do Anyone know why we Can't connect IPad with iPhone after uppdate to 5.0 ??????

    This solved my problem:
    In Itunes click on “music” of your iPhone
    If you see any song with a dotted circle to its left and in degraded text, write down its name
    Go to “music” in your iTunes library and unmark each and every of these songs
    Synchronize your iPhone
    Again in iTunes go back to your “music” ON THE iPHONE and make sure that all of the circled degraded songs have disappeared, if any found and you are sure they are unmarked in your library, remove from library and resynchronize the iPhone
    Mark songs you unmarked in your library
    Resync your iPhone
    I hope it works for you.

  • After update I can't charge my iPad with my the charger.

    It says not charging when plugged in.

    Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    How are you trying to charge it? It's best charged plugged into the wall with it's supplied power brick.

  • Can You Use an iPad With a G5?

    My mother in law just got an iPad, but has been unable to set it up with her G5 PowerMac.  When she first connected the iPad, it told her that her iTunes was too old, so she updated that.  Then it said the just-updated iTunes would not run with her OS (10.4.x).  That's where we got stuck.  Her Mac was never upgraded past 10.4, we don't have a 10.5 installation disc, and I can't install 10.6 or later on a G5.  And I don't know how to downgrade iTunes, or even if that would work.  I also don't understand why it would let her ugrade to a version of iTunes that won't run on her OS.
    Since Apple no longer sells 10.5, does that mean she can't use her iPad without getting a new machine?  The whole point of getting the iPad is so she wouldn't have to update her computer any time soon.

    Doubtful. There really isn't an input method available that would work in the scenario.

  • I can not pair my ipad with my iphone 5s

    I recently bought an iphone 5s and I could not pair it with my ipad (4th generation). I went to settings in each device, turn on  blue tooth and made both devices visible, but they can not connect.  Both devices has the OS updated.  Both devices were bought in an athorized dealer.  Thanks

    No, with Apple devices, life is different.
    If you're trying to keep calendars, contacts, notes in sync, consider using iCloud as described here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436
    Apps are automatically available to both devices.
    You can keep the music in sync by using iTunes Match should you desire, or simply iTunes on your computer.
    You can use iTunes on your computer as a repository to sync your devices.

  • Can you use one iMac with two iphones for updates and itunes? It erased my husband's apps on his phone when I tried to sync.

    I am sure there is a way to sync both my iphone and my husband's iphone on our one iMac...when I connected my husband's for the first time it recognized it as a different phone, but would let me save his apps to itunes like it saved mine earlier...  can we have both of our iphone's info on our one itunes account?

    When you connected his iphone did you click File>Transfer Purchases?
    This would transfer any ituens purchases from iphone to computer.
    You can sync as many iphones as you like to one computer/account/library.
