HT4060 Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

Can I use my old iPod 12v output power adapter to charge my iPad2?

The iPod charger is only 5W.
The iPad 2 needs a 10W charger.
It will charge slower and hotter.

  • Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    Can i use my old IPOD dock with the new G5 IPOD?

    That's really good to know. I thought because it was a different thickness you wouldn't be able to, and the dock adaptor that comes with the new iPods doesn't fit into the old Photo dock.
    Do you know if you can use the charger that came with the old Photo iPods? You can plug straight into the power socket, but the cable that goes into the charger from the iPod is the firewire cable, so I was thinking maybe it wouldn't work, and I don't want to try it in case I short out my iPod or something!

  • Can i use my old ipod firewire power brick to charge my iphone?

    i have a power brick from an old 20g b&w ipod. it looks like a laptop brick, but smaller. it has a FW socket and says it puts out 12v 67a.
    i'm going on a trip and would like a spare charger. will this work for my iphone 3g or will it fry it?
    thanks!
    btw - i did a search on this topic and found similar threads, but none addressed this particular FW charger.

    i'm getting a 404 error on that link for the ipod touch manual. but i looked at p.33 of the iphone user's guide, and it does say that you can't use a FW charger. it doesn't say why, however.
    i see that the iphone charger is 5w/1a. what happens if you use a 12w/67a charger with a device that's configured for the former?
    according to somebody in this thread, the device being powered "requests" only the power it needs, so you can use a more powerful charger (a MBP charger for a MB, for example) - but you can't use a less powerful charger to charge a device that needs more power (a MB charger for a MBP, for example).
    (for instance, can you charge a macbook with a macbook pro brick - i know you can't do the reverse)

  • Can I use my old iPOD as a external Disk

    Hello,
    I have an old ipod Touchwheel (firewire) and I thought that it amy be useful as a form of external disk (10Gig).
    Do you know if it is possible to use it as an external disk and also clear all the ipod software etc from the ipod so that i can utilise most of the 10Gbyte available?
    THanks
    John

    Hi John,
    I don't think it can be used as an eternal disk but you can enable your iPod for hard disk use for storage.

  • TS2634 Can I use my old ipod camera connector with ipad [3]? I keep getting accessory not supported message

    I have tried to use my old camera connector and it doesn't work. many posts indicate the new ones don't work either.  Anyone know if the USB camera connector would or should work with my ipad and my rebel T2i camera?  Would buying a new connector work?
    Thanks.

    What do you mean by "old camera connector"? Do you mean the one that was put out years ago for the iPod? No, that doesn't work. The current Camera Connection Kit works just fine.

  • Can I use my old iPod 3G dock with my new iPod Touch

    I just got an iPod Touch, and I am wondering if there are any reason why I shouldn't use it with the old dock that came with my iPod 3G in 2004. It seems to sync and charge without any problem, but I'm wondering if it could cause physical damage because it's not designed to support that shape, or if there's any other potential issues. The iPod Touch came with an adapter, but it doesn't fit my ancient dock.

    I do not understand why a 2G Touch would not charge from an AC connector. I am charging mine with the AC connector which came with my iPod Photo. That may have been the last iPod to include the charger with the device. But yes, it charges the Touch just fine. However, my Bose dock does not work with the Touch at all. I understand that it would not be able to charge it, but I can't even play through it. Two other docks I have are the same EXCEPT that both of them have an auxilliary input and I can play the Touch through a cord going into that input, lying down of course, not in its dock.

  • Can i use and old ipod for time machine backups?

    i've reformatted the ipod and enabled it for use as a hard drive. will it work with time machine? time machine doesn't seem to be recognizing it...

    Generally I wouldn't rely on the iPod for backing up because of how power and caching is taken care of on the iPod. Small files is one thing. But the spin up and down of the iPod can make backups unreliable if done of a system as a whole.

  • Can I use my old charging cube purchased with and iPod Photo that has international plugs to charge my iPhone 4S?

    I have an old charging cube that I purchased with my iPod Photo several years ago.  It has various adapter plugs to use in other countries some of which have 220 volts.  In the USA we use 110 volts.
    Can I use the old cube with the proper plug to charge my iPhone 4S in Israel?
    Thanks in advance.

    The power will be okay.
    If the dock cannot take adapters, I strongly advise you to not use the dock (if you want to keep it), without creating support for the iPhone. It will break; had this happen to an iHome with my 5th gen iPod, due to the lack of accessories to support the new iPod profile.

  • Can I use my old iPhone AC Adapter with my new iPad mini

    Just bough myself a new mini retina but was wondering if I could use my old iPhone 4 AC power adapter with it i.e. plug the new lightining to USB to AC Adapter.
    The iPad's power adapter is a bit bulky and anything so I don't end up taking a hundred power adapters on holiday tomorrow!
    Looking at the details they say:
    Old charger:
    100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.15A
    Output 5V == 1A
    New charger:
    100-240v ~ 50/60Hz 0.45A
    Output 5.1V == 2.1A

    Another option is that you can take ONLY the iPad mini's 10W charger with you instead of the iPhone's 5W charger. It's not that much bigger than the iPhone's 5W and will safely charge BOTH devices. It's really not recommended (& not considered compatible by Apple) to use the 5W charger to charge devices requiring a 10W or 12W charger. Yes, as was mentioned above, you CAN use the 5W to charge the mini Retina. It will take longer and the charger will likely generate more heat. Personally, I'd just take the 10W charger. It's safe and compatible (officially by Apple) with both your iPhone 4 and the iPad mini Retina.

  • Can my husband use my old iPod since I have a new one?

    I got a new Nano and my husband would like to use my old iPod. How can he do this with his Mac (he currently has a Shuffle and would like to "upgrade"). Someone told me I have to connect my old one to my iTunes library and delete the music.

    Just plug it in. No need to delete anything.
    It will ask if he wants to sync to the library on his computer. Just click Yes.

    I recently bought Apple Composite AV Cable and while i can use my old IPOD to connect to my car's tv I can not use my IPAD 2 or IPHONE 4,,why?

    does that mean I can not buy a movie or tv show  from itunes and watch it on my car tv through my iphone? Does that also mean I can not watch any video even the ones I take via the iphone camera? That makes no sense, f that is true what is the rational? And how come it works from the IPOD?
