I keep going through power adapters for my iPhone 5. Why?

The first power adapter for my iPhone 5 lasted about 7 months; however, the second adapter lasted only a few weeks. I do plug it into an extension cord, so I'm not sure if that's the problem or not.

They just stop working/charging. I can use the USB cable and charge the phone through my computer, so it's not the cord.

  • Want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through a long procedure each time

    I want new tab to open to home page and why does firefox not have a simple check box in the options because I can't keep going through the long tedious procedure each time I install firefox. It is something that should be in the options tab , and I want to know why it isn't. I am totally frustrated with firefox and getting ready to switch.

    You can use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

  • My Ipad mini keeps going through various applications all by itself and won't allow me to close them

    My Ipad keeps going through my contacts, e-mail, ITunes, types by itself and will go through these apps over and over again. I can close them while in the process but just as I close them with the home button it starts right up again. I have tried closing all the open apps by double clicking the home button, which it will show the screen of all the apps but when I try to hold them down to delete them it doesn't respond. I have tried hard reset twice by holding the home button and the top button until the apple logo appears but this hasn't worked.
    Diver

    Hi Diver,
    I haven't ever seen this happen, but if quitting apps and hard resets don't do it you might want to start clean. Are you able to run a backup of your iPad mini? If I was in your shoes, I would back up the iPad, erase the iPad and then restore the data to see if that fixes it.
    Step 1 would be to back up the data (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
    Step 2 would be to restore the iPad to factory settings (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414).
    Step 3 would be to restore the backup (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).
    Hope this helps!!
    ~Joe

    Is there a Strike through in notes for the iPhone?

    oh, sorry. I'm pretty sure there is not anything out yet like that.
    There are other apps like that you will just have to use them for each job you are doing.
    Another one is called Text Editor, Write Pad, etc...

  • Is AppleCare  going to be available for the iPhone 5?

    Title basically explains everything. I contacted Bestbuy to see if they knew but all they said is they know they're going to offer their warranty which is almost $300 for 2 years. So, I was wondering if AppleCare+ was going to be available for the iPhone 5 at the price it was offered for the 4S? ($100 for lifetime) Or would it be more?
    Thanks for any info.

    You can purchase such for the iPhone. Read here:

  • Direction on safe power adapters for iPods from US to Travel in France

    Hello, I searched other topics found the Apple power adapter plug for the ipod discussesd this topic (which I do already have), but it did not SPECIFICALLY say that it will convert from US (110v) to Euro - France (220) volt. All the instructions from available power adapters (non-Apple) specifically say 'not for use with stereo or musical equipment.'
    Help ! Can I just plug in my Apple ipod power adapter INTO a standard 110v to 220v converter and not worry about problems? Do I need to look for a special voltage adapter that works between certain amps or voltage ranges?
    Best Buy, Radio Shack, Travel Smith and Sharper Image were NO help.

    hiya!
    but it did not SPECIFICALLY say that it will convert from US (110v) to Euro - France (220) volt.
    the accepted input power range is given in the "About the Apple iPod Power Adapter's Voltage Requirements" section in this document:
    iPod: About the Apple iPod Power Adapter
    ... and there's info on the World Travel Adapter Kit given in the "Charging iPod around the World" section in this document:
