Charging iphone from ipad charger

I just got an iPad Air with a 12W (5.2V/2.4A) standard charger for North America.
If I use this adapter to charge my iPhone 5C, I know it will charge, but will it damage my iPhone battery in the process? I've heard that using a charger that is not meant for that particular battery can drastically reduce the iPhone's battery life and I could be doing permanent damage to my phone's abaility to hold a charge. The little 2 pronged block my phone came with was only
Does anyone out there know if this is true, or does the phone have something internal to throttle incoming juice if it's more power than intended?

Apple says it's OK.

    How to disconnect iPhone from iPad

    Settings -> Messages -> Send and Receive -> uncheck your email which is likely the Apple ID with which you are signed into your other iDevices
    This will stop your iMessages to your devices
    However if you are referring to SMS texts alone - are they forwarded by any chance?    

  • Want to make phone calls via bluetooth on my iPhone from iPad

    I can link my Garmin GPS to my iPhone via Bluetooth and make or receive phone calls.
    I would like an iPas app that provides the sametype functionality including:
    Make calls
    Receive calls
    Look uphone numbers
    Is this possible?  Using what app?

    There are a couple of Apps out there that will allow you to use a Google Voice phone number to make and recieve calls via the iPad. I'm not sure exactly what you are trying to do. If you are trying to replicate the Garmin / iPhone setup I don't think that is possible.
    Google Voice  setup - gvconnect and talkatone. (wifi)
    Skype - I think that you can make phone calls via Skype and Wifi.
    I don't have a clue as if it is possible to make a phone call over 3G via the iPad.

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

    Hi there Apples or Pears,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

  • Ipad 2 won't charge from ipad charger, but will sync and charge from USB!

    Hi
    I have been having some issues with charging my Ipad 2 and have searched the internet but can't find a solution.
    I can charge and sync my ipad from my computer but it will not charge from the mains charger (2 amp) provided with the ipad. - Therefore there is no problem with either the lead or the pins on the ipad
    I know the cable works as it is the one i am using to sync to the PC. The charger also works to charge my iphone. - Therefore no issues with the charger.
    I have rebooted the ipad.
    I have also restored the ipad back to its orignal settings and restored a back up from Itunes.
    All so far have had no effect on using the charger to charge the ipad.
    Perhaps a trip to the Istore is the only option?
    thanks

    Take your iPad, cable & charger to the Apple Store.
    The quickest way (and really the only 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). 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.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

  • HT4060 Charging battery on iPhone 5/iPad 4

    Shall I charge my battery as often as possible thus avoiding complete drain of battery? Or should I minimize number of recharge cycles by allowing battery to drain completely? Which option is better?

    Doesn't really matter. Just totally (<5%) discharge the battery once per month.
    Did you know you can charge your iPhone with the iPad charger?

  • HT1459 Just bought a new ipod shuffle for my kid and cannot set it up because it does not show up in itunes. Also the charging light does not light up. what could be wrong, as i am able to see both my iphone and ipad on itunes on the same pc?

    Just bought a new 4th gen iPod Shuffle for my kid. Problem is I cannot do the initial set up, as the device does not show up on iTunes on my PC. Also the charging does not light up. Any ideas on what could be wrong, as I am able to see both my iphone and iPad on iTunes using the same PC?

    I also tried manually underlining a few things on the new iPad and when highlighting a paragraph, it would skip a few lines and the line would go through a few as well. Looks like a major iBooks glitch needs to be addressed here.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
    If it was an audiobook then they are one-time only downloads, to get it on your other devices you need to sync it to them and not re-download it oneach. You can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will refund or credit you for the second and third downloads : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    Depends on whether your carrier supports Personal Hotspot & how/if they charge for this feature. Some carriers include Personal Hotspot as part of your data plan, some require it be provisioned on your account. Contact your carrier & see what their requirements are. The fact that you have the Personal Hotspot setting indicates your carrier supports this feature.

    You can either put them in "Flight Mode" ( Found in settings. This feature disables 3G, 4G and Wifi), or you can go into your settings and turn off mobile networking ( also found in settings, this allows you to connect to wifi, but disables mobile networking)

  • Is it ok to charge iPhone from MacBook?

    Is it ok to charge my iPhone from my MacBook regularly, or will this somehow effect the long term battery durability and duration?
    Thanks.

    Likely no ill effects but charging anything from a computer's USB port is a veeeeery sloooow operation. I reserve that option only for when nothing else is available AND I do not need my MacBook Pro running on battery for anything--two conditions that are seldom if ever met.
