Does the adapter use power when there's no phone connected?

Hi all,
I was wondering: Does the Apple poweradapter consume electricity, when there's no iPhone (or iPad etc.) connected to it?
I leave my adapters and cables in a poweroutlet all the time, which I can turn off but I was just curious about this. I read different things all over the internet, so I thought it would be best to ask my question here.
I have the original Apple 10W adapters, with the lightning usb cable, iPhone 5 and iPad 4. I live in The Netherlands by the way, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
Stefan

Wall adapters do use a very small amount ... but it is miniscule, and not worth considering.   Though I suppose there would be an unacceptable loss in 'green' eyes if there were 10,000 of them connected.

  • Is there a setting such that the application closes (quits) when the (last) file is closed? Why does the application remain active when there are no files for it open?

    I honestly did try to find my own answer, but cannot.  Not sure why a simple question would have its answer so difficult to find. I'd just like the application to simply close after the last file is closed.  It seems strange to have the application remain active.  Thanks for your help.

    It's also a bit strange that even though I searched throughout the community for questions like this......so that I wouldn't take up space for something already discussed........that immediately after I posted my question, the "
    More Like This" side window comes up that describes questions just like mine. 
    So, sorry to have bothered anyone with having to read another duplicate question.  I see that the answer to my first question is "No", and there's likely not a good answer for "Why".
    Thanks anyway.

  • Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in for raw files from the Nikon D810? I have lightroom 4

    I am considering buying a Nikon D810 but I do not want to be waiting for ages for a plug in for it's RAW files on my Lightroom 4. Does anybody know if and when there will be a plug in? I presume the 8.5 plug in will not cover the cameras Raw file.

    There is no plug-in for Lightroom 4 that would ever give you support for the new camera. Lightroom does not use Camera Raw. Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. If you want support for your camera in Lightroom you will need to upgrade to Lightroom 5, and then wait for the 5.6 update which should be available within next few weeks (unless Lightroom 6 is introduced). In the meantime you can use the DNG converter (version 8.6 RC) to create DNG copies of your raw images that you would be able to open in Lightroom 4.

  • Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff!

    Firefox keeps freezing and using 50% cpu and memory usage shoots up real fast and carries on going till it uses up all there is left. Most of the time it's when there's an auto update of anything addon, plugin or ff but not just neccessarily then! I find out it's happened when there's been an update after i restart and an extra webpage comes up with the particular addon/plugin/ff update. I have to restart most of time because nothing sorts it out. I'm using windows xp with the latest update of ff 13.0.1 it's not this version because it's been happening for a while. And it never started when i added a particular addon or plugin or when i added a new app to my pc either. Any idea as to what this may be or how i'd sort it out?
    Cheers

    Does the iPad Air power adapter automatically conver Nothern Europe power to 60 cycles.

    To expand on stedman's correct answer, all you need is a plug adapter. Apple also sells kits and cords that will convert the plug on the power adapter to any other type of plug for worldwide compatibility.

    how well does the Droid Charge do when dropped accidentally? any screen or internal damages?
    I'm probably going to have some kind of rubberized case.

    Please consider getting an otterbox commuter case at least from amazon or otterbox.com
    the defender series otterbox case with screen protector case isn't being shipped yet so i am using
    the otterbox commuter case with verizon wireless store's 3pack of screen protectors - i do not like screen protectors but verizon sells the ones for the charge specifcally and it will
    hold me over just fine until defender ships in august or september
    either case helps to not accidentally press the power button easily while holding this droid Charge
    there's my advce
    ps these add bulk to phone i like the commuter case it is way sturdy polycarbonate or whatever STRONG black plastic with port covers except for hdmi that already has a cover built into phone
    the defender series will be bulkier

  • Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists?

    Why does the iPod duplicate songs when updating my playlists? Also, you cannot use the "show duplicate songs" feature on the iPod - I suppose that is because it is not supposed to duplicate songs on the iPod. But, if that is the case - why does it do it?

    Try resetting your iPod, press and hold the power and the home buttons together approximately 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work try going into Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. If that does not work try connecting to you iTunes library via the cable and un-sync the library from your iPod then sync the library.  For the next 2 options backup your iPod first, then do a Restore iPod from backup, if that doesn't work... As a last resort Restore your iPod as New. I too had the red circle and square after updating to 7.0.4 the last resort fixed mine, others have reported doing all the above, all have had reports of fixing the problem and not fixing it. Give it a try, hopefully one of these works, Good luck.

  • Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected?

    Why does my phone keep popping up messages "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iphone" when there is no cable connected? This has been happening since IOS7 was installed and has become worse with 7.1. I have reset the phone several times with no change.The phone charges properly & I have never used anything but an Apple Lightning cable.

    I already cleaned the port with compressed air before submitting the problem. I since cleaned it with a toothpick and dug out some more lint. this seems to have just about fixed the problem since I have only had the error pop up 3 times since then and i was getting the error constantly before.

  • Does the NavigationController work only when placed in appDelegate?

    I am trying to build application that has a tab bar controller with two view and the first view contains a segmented control.
    Based on the decision of the segmented control, I load the tableview. The table view has an instance of navigation Controller in which I have assigned the tableview controller as a rootview controller. When I click on any row of the table view, a new controller gets pushed on the table view. In my case, the new view does not show up on the screen, once the row is clicked. I used NSlog and checked that the views pushed on the stack are correct.
    I read many threads here and saw that all of them use tabBarController and then it directly uses the navigationController and viewcontroller. Is this the only config that works ?
    What if I want to have a tabBarController->tableViewController->NavigationController, isn't it possible? Can anyone please help?

    WitchKing wrote:
    So, if I understand this fully, I can initialize the navigation controller as soon as the any row is clicked and put the tableView I am on as my rootView for the navController. and also push the next view controller I want to see, on its stack. and present the navigation controller's view.
    The usual way to implement a table view drill-down would be to make the first table view (or the content view which includes it) the root view of the nav controller. I.e. the table view's controller would be the root controller. When you do it that way all the objects will do what they were designed to do, and the code to push and pop subsequent views will almost write itself.
    However there's no reason you can't do what you described, which (if I understood) would be to attach the nav controller's view to the hierarchy only after a row in the table is selected. Note however, that you couldn't then expect the nav controller to make that first transition from the parent table view. You would have to provide your own transition to the nav controller's view.
    You bring up a good point in any case. I never explicitly answered the question in the Subject line of this thread.
    does the NavigationController work only when placed in appDelegate?
    No, there is no requirement to create a nav controller in any particular position of the view hierarchy. Unlike a tab controller, a nav controller need not be the root of the hierarchy (i.e. added directly to the key window). In fact you'll find several examples in the docs which show one or more nav controllers under some other controller.
    there might be some problem with adjusting bar heights and etc though.
    I'm not sure you proposed anything that would make it difficult to configure a table view. One nav controller issue that will impact table view position and size is the attempt to hide the nav bar which would otherwise appear above the table. I walked, unsuspecting, into this problem when I tried to help with another, currently ongoing thread that might interest you: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9606805#9606805].
    While I'm pasting links, this one is also relevant to your post: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9607946#9607946].
    Thank you for the very kind words about my posts. For some reason, this past few weeks I've been spending most of my forum helper time writing about table views and nav controllers. I sure hope I've been dispensing correct information. It's not like I have any knowlege of the internals. These puppies are black boxes to me, so I'm just going by the same docs you have and my own (growing!) collection of test beds.

  • What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

    What's the purpose of Launchpad when there is an "applications" folder in the Dock?

    I simply never use it - but then again I haven't used the Dock for anything either sice slighty before the stone age. Many years ago I discovered LaunchBar ( http://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html ) which does all my launching and a whole lot more too, for app switching I use Liteswitch X ( http://www.proteron.com/ ) which adds more bang to the Command-tab switcher, including Force Quit and along with Default Folder ( http://stclairsoft.com/DefaultFolderX/ ) they are literally the first things I install on a new Mac.
    But they are not for everybody. I drive by keyboard, some folks are happier using the mouse. Choice is the point.

  • Can't stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert" from Thunderbird

    I posted this question on the MozillaZine forum, but no-one there answered so I thought I'd try here.
    I'm using Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 for my email. Is there a way to stop the dock icon bouncing when there is an "alert"? These happen relatively frequently in connection with my Yahoo account, and every time the icon bounces until I go to Thunderbird and click "ok" on the alert box. This is slowly driving me nuts. I have disabled the "animate dock icon" setting for new mail, and for my whole system when programs start or open, but it hasn't had any effect on the behaviour of the icon with regards to alerts.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, I am not trying to be difficult. I'm just lost.
    Hey, no problem, really... we're here trying to help & just need to find out what is needed to help!
    You really should right click on the whole Thubderbird folder and Archive it first, so we can go back if need be.
    Then, it appears that if you just recreate the account, with the name, email, server, and smtp, then everything comes back for that account... at least for global accounts.
    If you wish to hold off on this then just move the original .js back and start T-Bird again, then I can search for a way to edit the existing .js file, because for some reason, when you change your prefs back, it's not changing that file like it should.
