How can i charge my iPad in a foreign country?

I am planning a trip to israel and want to take my iPad with me for pictures and internet access. How can i charge it on the electrical outlets there? I have a transformer but the instructions state that it is not for computers. Also, is the battery life lower if I take lots of pictures? Thanks! (:

All of Apple's chargers work from 100-240VAC, 50-60Hz power. You only need an adapter plug to fit the type used in the country you visit.
If you have an iPhone and an iPad, just take the iPad charger since it can also be used to charge the iPhone.
Using the iPad always discharges the battery, but taking lots of pics should not cause it to discharge excessively.

How can I charge my iPad 2 when I'm already using the port for a projector?

I run training workshops all day and want to use my iPad to run Keynote or PowerPoint through a projector. I already have the VGA adaptor and that all works fine. Trouble is, the battery only lasts half the day. So I have to swap over to a netbook for the rest of that day while the iPad charges...
Is there a double-adaptor that will allow me to plug the charger in as well as the VGA adaptor?
Seems such an obvious thing to want to do but I've looked all over for an adaptor and I haven't found one...
How can you charge an iPad if the only port on it is already occupied?
Cheers
Steve

Hi Texas Mac Man
Thanks for your suggestion. Kinda means I have to buy a wireless-capable projector. Most of the VGA projectors in the venues I work with are fixed-in-the-ceiling and not wireless capable...
My luck with doing off-the-mainstream stuff like jailbreak etc is that (1) it won't work for me, or (2) it all goes horribly wrong, stuffs up my machine and voids the warranty... So I tend to stick to the proprietory stuff.
Not very adventurous, but then I need dependable stuff with a warranty and someone I can yell at to fix it.
Maybe Apple will read this and provide a risk-free solution.
You never know....
But thank you.

How can I charge my iPad in England?

I'll be traveling to the U.K. and just wondering what is the best way to charge my iPad. Advice?

"I would just advise that you don't go for the 'cheap no name'. electronics are too valuable to risk"
It adapts the plug to fit. It fits or it doesn't. There is no "risk".
If you pay more than about $3 for a plug adapter, you are paying too much?
Here's a three pack for $3.35

How can I get the ipad to charge on my usb. I have a 2.0 and still not showing it charges.

I have a laptop with a 2.0 usb. I have an ipad and can't get it to charge on the laptop. I called apple and they said I need a firmware update. How do I do this and will that work? Help, thanks

Hi,
Because the iPad requires more power than from a normal USB port can supply therefore you can not charge an iPad using ONE USB port on a laptop/PC. Please try this free utility, many HP users say it works:

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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 (2.5W, 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.

HT4061 how do i charge my ipad? I can't find the place on the ipad.

How do I charge my ipad. I see no place to put the black cord, help?

What cord are you using?
IPads come with white USB cables:
Either Lightning
or 30 pin
Also what model iPad is it? Is it an iPad Mini or iPad 4 ?
If you can explain what you are doing maybe we can provide more accurate answers instead of trying to guess what you have and are seeing.

How can i use my ipad in canada?

How can i use my ipad in canada?

You can certainly use your iPad in Canada. You'll need to find out from your cellular carrier though if you can use cellular in Canada with paying hige roaming charges.
If there will be roaming charges, or if your carrier will not let you use cellular in Canada, you can still use the iPad. Turn off Cellular in Settings. You can still connect to Wi-Fi anywhere you go.

How can I use my iPad and iPhone in Europe without incurring high costs?

How can I use the iPad to communicate in the Netherlands without incurring huge charges?

Depends on how you are planning on communicating. If you use Wif, then no. If you are using cellular data, you would need to discuss this with your carrier. We wouldn't know here.

"I did erase ipad from icloud. My ipad is not turning on now. How can i turn my ipad on? its ipad mini IOS 7.0.4"
Pls help m out.

Connect the iPad to a charger, let it charge for half an hour, then try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears.
If that does not work, start iTunes on your computer, connect the USB end of the cable, then press and hold the power button on the iPad and connect the other end of the cable. Hold the power button for three seconds, and while continuing to hold it, press and hold the home button. Continue to hold both buttons for ten seconds and then release the power button but continue to hold the home button for another twenty seconds.
When you release the home button, iTunes should now see the iPad and allow you to restore it.

TS2634 When I connect iPad to Macbook Pro through USB Port or even charge my iPad via the apple adapter, it has no response at all. I can only charge my iPad when I totally shut off the iPad. Pls advise.

Well ... the charger is the original charger and just checked and confirmed it is a 5.1V charger. How come? Next is why when i connect my iPad via original usb cable, no response from macbook pro? used to sync with iTunes now totally dead.

I can't charge My iPad's battery

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I have one apple ID for both my Iphone 4S and Ipad. My Ipad was stolen from me and when I checked the iCloud, it can only locate the Iphone 4S. How can I locate the Ipad device?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can only locate your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.

How can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?

how can I return my ipad 1 to pre OS5?
Ive been reading the forums all over the place to find the solution to my ipad 1 continually crashing. it does it mainly in safari and the app store.
Its really annoying when you're halfway through composing a long e-mail message and it just reverts back to the home screen.
I'm perfectly happy to give up the advantages of IOs 5, because I would rather have a stable machine (like it used to be) than use the cloud and multitasking. (I don't use them anyway). I know that some of my apps might stop working but its more important to me that the basics work.
cheers

You cannot downgrade the iOS. Once you upgrade, you're stuck with it.
Part of your problem is that your iPad is old and it probably having difficulty keeping up with the data and protocols for the newer software. It's probably time to send a note to Santa.

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup on my same account. They're both listed on my list of backups, but it won't let me choose to backup to the one I want on my other iPad which I no longer have. But I specifically want the pictures

How can I backup my iPad to another iPad backup I have on my same iCloud account. The old one is totally gone. Both backups are listed on my iCloud account. So is there any way I can backup the one I have now to the other one. I really just want the pictures that are in the old backup. I have tried resetting and erasing all settings and data on the one I still have, but when I go to restore by iCloud; it only gives me the choice of restoring the same iPad. Then in iCloud>storage>backup, I'm still not able to choose which backup to backup to. I've even tried deleting the backup to the iPad I still have, then resetting all setting and data on the iPad, hoping that in resetting up the iPad it would give me the option to backup to my old iPad. But it doesn't. It still has memory of the backup of my newer iPad.
I JUST WANT THE PICTURES!!!
Thank you!!!
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi + Cellular, iOS 6.1.3, iCloud Backup

You now need to get your pictures back! The similar to you, after I updated my iPad Mini, I can't get my some files on device. I tried many ways, fortunately, I got a tool from http://tinyurl.com/Data-Recovery-iPhone to help me recover lost files easily! It supports iPhone, iPad, iPod, etc iOS devices!

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
