IBook G4 car charger

I purchased a Jensen power & travel universal DC Adapter thinking I could power my iBook by using this in my auto. Now I'm not sure this is what I need. Description states: "This universal DC Adapter converts 12 volts DC from your power outlet to 3,4,5,6,7.5,9 or 12 Volts DC. Powers electronic devices requiring 300mA of current or less." There is a voltage selector from 3 to 12. Instr. also says do not use with any device that requires more than 300mA of current. I have absolutely no idea what my iBook requires. Please help. Leaving on a very long trip this Saturday.

Hi.
My mains adapter puts out 24v and 1.875 amps, i.e. 1,875mA. I think the adapter you have bought might not be suitable.
There are a few suggestions given in reply Here.
Good luck and have a good trip.

Car charger for ibook

i cant seem to find one anywhere on the sight, can you please give me an URL for the ibook car charger...Please?

I have a charger from iGo (http://www.igo.com) called the juice70 that plugs into a wall, or an airplane, or a car. It works my 14" iBookG4 quite nicely, but won't quite keep up with the power needs of my 17" PowerBook. To charge it in the truck, I have a charger from Kensington. (http://us.kensington.com/html/6612.html)
I also have an inverter in each of my trucks. I use one of them to run an Airport Extreme and an Epson C86 printer. I find it a bit less efficient to invert 12v DC into 120vAC in order to convert it back to 12vDC. If you need an inverter, by all means get one, but if you need a 12v power supply, get one of those!

Car charger freezing my ipod

whenever i plug my 3rd gen ipod into the car charger it freezes. I have to let the battery completely die out and then it works fine. Its not the charger because my sister used it with her 4th gen ipod and has had no problems. Has anybody had this problem and solved it or not solved it? i'm out of the warranty period so that's no longer an option but this is an issue i've had since the beginning.

I'm having this problem with a Belkin car charger. I thought it was the charger until I stumbled across your post. Anyone else having this problem? When I had a Monster iPod FM transmitter/charger, I didn't have this problem. Strange..

My iphone won't charge and won't play music anymore. I have tried reseting it and switching it off. Have tried 3 different chargeres and even a car charger. Does anyone know what could be wrong and how I can fix it?

I have an iPhone 4 not quite 2 years old. 2 nights ago my iPhone was on its charger and it kept vibrating as if it was being disconnected and re-connected from the charger. When I looked at it had an "error" message but now I don't know what that was as it was 3am and I was half asleep. I just diconnected the charger and the battery read fully charged.
The my volume wouldn't go up or down. The box with "ringer" in it came up but no bars at the bottom to show the volume is increasing or decreasing. It would not play music out of the speakers either even though the screen showed it was playing and it would not work in our dock/speaker unless I used bluetooth and even then, if we touched the volume button on the dock it would switch off.
I tried a "hard" reset 3 times and tried switching it off and on 3 times with no success.
I tried 3 different chargers including a car charger, plus the speaker dock with no success.
It is now out of battery and I cannot charge it.
The iPhone also would not back anything up prior to the battery going flat.
I just need to know if it is fixable or do I need to start looking for a new phone?

Is there a way to modify Incase Mini Car Charger so it will fit into iPhone 5s in a case?

I should have read the reviews in the Apple Store before buying the Incase Mini Car Charger before I bought it: the material around the lightning connector is much thicker than that in the Apple cable (which broke after not much use) and won't fit into the 5s with the case I have on the phone. Is there a way to "shave" the rubbery material to make this work?

dumdidadida: Thanks for your reply, but it doesn't address the problem. HSTS is designed to FORCE the use of https, this is a good thing in most cases. However, HSTS is problematic in that it incorrectly assumes that all users trust the default list of CAs and makes the adding of exceptions impossible even by advanced users.
torprojec.org is just an example, this effects every HSTS site. You can reproduce this problem yourself in version 17 or later if you temporary disable "DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA" in your certificate store and then visit torproject.org. You will notice the ability to add exceptions has been removed and that the cert_override.txt file found in the user's profile is also ignored.

Iphone 6 compatibility with belkin car charges and cables

Hey
upon reading stories of certain car charges not working with the iphone 6 i want to find out if either of these 2 car charges and cables from belkin will charge my iphone 6.
In theory the 12v 2.4amp charger should charge my phone up faster than the rest however the iphone 6 is not listed in compatible devices, strangely neither is it listed on the 10w 2.1amp version of this product.
Am i missing some sort of trick here? the only thing i can think of is that the iphone 6 has a list of compatible devices or (certified) and will not allow connection with either of these belkin devices.
here is the 12v 2.4 charger http://www.belkin.com/uk/F8J121-Belkin/p/P-F8J121/
Here is the 10w 2.1amp charger http://www.belkin.com/uk/F8J078/p/P-F8J078/
What exactly is the problem with using either of these? isnt it the same lightening connection as the iphone 5?

Belkin probably just hasn't updated the page yet. Give them a call or contact their customer support. Note that the maximum current an iPhone will draw from a USB adapter is 1 amp (5 watts) whether the adapter can supply 1 amp, 2 amps, or 100 amps. So it won't charge any faster than a 1 amp adapter. An iPad can use up to 2.1 amps.

Can I use my standard car charger i got for iphone 4 with iPhone 5? if I just plug in the usb to lightning cable or will it damage the new iphone?

The charger takes a usb cable, so I figure I could just plug in my usb to lightning cable and charge using my Saitek charger. Does anyone know if this works?

Did you get this to work? Mine did not work when I plugged it into my at&t iphone car charger usb port.

My Belkin car charger is no longer supported by my iphone 5. It was bought from the Apple store. Is there a solution from Apple?

The Belkin car charger I purchased a year ago from the Apple store and has worked fine until recently is no longer supported and will not charge my iphone 5 it seems since IOs7 came in. Is there a solution other than to have to buy a new one?

are you talking about a song or a ringtone?
either way, if its still on itunes you can just sync it back to your iphone.

IPod Car Charger - not charging

I have a car charger made by Alpine that when plugged into my 5th gen iPod would connect it to my radio allowing me to play my tunes through my radio and it would also charge up my iPod. With my current iPod Classic, the charger/adapter does not charge up the iPod. Any reasons why this would not charge?

While I don't know if this is the actual reason or not, I can speculate.
Many USB devices can charge by just applying the power and ground pins of the USB port, so +5V and GND only need to be connected on the USB connector. However SOME USB devices are designed so that the two data lines also have to be hooked up. No data comes had to come across them, but the two lines need to be "active" in that they have a voltage on them (typically 2.5V) for the device to then charge off the power pins.
Many USB charging devices, if they are not moving data, like ciggy lighter chargers, Wall AC chargers, etc. only hook up the power and GND pins and leave the data pins completely disconnected.
It would appear the Classic, the Video Nano, the iTouch & the iPhone are different than previous iPods in that it may need to have the data pins "active" to charge. If you look at some of the chargers available from the Apple store, you will find that many will work with Minis, 1st and 2nd gen Nanos, 5th generation, 4th gen, etc. but NOT the 3rd gen Nano, iPhone/iTouch, or Classic while others will list all of them.
Again, I don't know this for sure as I don't have any of the new products so can not test it, but I am guessing that is what the problem is. You might try contacting Alpine and see if they have any sort of fix for the issue, like a patch cord or replacement connector or something.

I'm at my wits end with this phone and I'm ready to just trash it.

Nonsense, and very misleading advice. I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4 through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones. Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either. Hack your phone and have update problems? I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
As per the forum term of service you can't get help here. Use google.
that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

IPhone no longer works with car charger

I bought this car charger and it worked for months, and when I got back from a road trip I got the latest iPhone OS update and now the phone tells me that "Charging is not supported with this accessory."

Did the charger include the "made for iPhone" certification when purchased including for the 3GS?
Your iPod Classic can be charged via USB or Firewire. The original iPhone can be charged via USB or Firewire, but the FireWire pins were removed from the iPhone's dock connector after the original iPhone which is also the same with all iPod models now. If your car charger charges via FireWire, this wouldn't work with the 3GS regardless. If a 3rd party device does not include the "made for iPhone" certification, this doesn't mean it won't work with the iPhone but having the certification ensures it - unless the device has failed.
If there were something wrong with your iPhone, it wouldn't be charging when connected to your computer or to the wall charger either.
If the charger includes the "made for iPhone" certification, contact the manufacturer. If not, purchase one that does.

IPhone 5S no longer charges with Verizon Car Charger

I bought my iPhone 5S the day it came out and everything has worked smoothly until about two weeks ago when my iPhone refused to take a charge from my iPhone Verizon brand car charger. I have not updated the software recently. It was already up to date. This is the Verizon car charger that was sold as a bundle when I purchase the phone. I would understand a little better if the car charger did not work when I purchased but now I am confused. Does anyone know a fix for this?

Hi,
The iPhone says that some chargers may not be authorized and therefore may not charge (paraphrase) but I don't see the lightning bolt next to the battery. The Apple charger that comes with the phone works and my larger iPad charger also works with it.
There is not visible damage to the car charger and I do not remember mishandling it in any qay.
I hope that helps.

Car charger no longer works!

I got the iPhone 3GS for fathers day and everything was great. Until I decided to plug it into my car Charger... the phone then told me that it was not compatible. I was shocked! Every apple iPod or device that used that same connector worked just fine till the 3GS. Is this a Power consumption issue?

See this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
There are plenty of them out there now: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shopiphone/iphoneaccessories/power?n=iphone3&mco=NjkyNjc1Nw&s=topSellers

IPod touch 1g not charging properly with car charger

I have a 1g iPod touch I'm using it with a Kensington 33199 fm transmitter/car charger. The iPod does not recognize the car charger power to put it into charge mode. The battery symbol does not change to a charging symbol...the unit does play audio out through the transmitter (which works fine), but it doesn't show the usual signs of charging. It seems to get a bit of a charge as the battery doesn't run down, but it also doesn't charge up. If I let the battery run down too far it won't work with the transmitter/charger at all.
Anyone have this kind of problem with a car charger? It charges fine hooked to the computer or directly to an apple wall charger.

If this is a 1G, then it should work. I haven't tried my 1G in the car yet, guess I should. I use a Griffin FM transmitter that charges as it plays back over the radio.
I'll let you know what I find!
