IPad and car radio or charger questions

I have a iphone 3GS, a car charger and it has been working flawless for over 5 months, but for some odd reason it will not charge my new iPad.
I decided to go for it and buy a car radio, i got the Alpine CDE 125BT, the company Alpine claims on the box that their car radio works with iPo first Generation, iPhone 3G, iphone 4g, iPhone 5G ( its on the box ), however, it did not as well., with out going further to what they said on the phone in denial about it., lets move on here.
I see many people using iPads in their cars, they say some adapters are specifically designed for ipads, i thought it was strange, iphones and ipads use different adopters? i am out 250 bucks now, had a car radio installed, still no one knows which model works with a ipad 3g, Alpine car radio company now claims no single car radio supports a iPad because its not a phone, although before hanging up he failed to see the 3g models i still see people on youtube showing iPads on Velcro mats perfectly working while charging and playing music.
is there really a difference in accessories to charge them?

im going to stick with my Alpine car radio, it has bluetooth and allows me to wireless use the ipad or iphone while i can charge it with that old ipad cigarette charger i mentioned earlier that i got just for the ipad.
i use the ipad in the car for music, radio and the tomtom
thank you for the help

  • I have a wireless keyboard for my ipad and it says to charge it connect it to my pc.  can i charge it by connecting it to my ipad?

    No. The iPad's port won't put out enough power. You could probably plug your keyboard into your iPad charger and charge it that way, but it won't charge off the iPad.

  • Got a new IPAD and was charged 200.00 for all apps previsouly purchased!.  Has anyone else had this issue?  I went thru the appstore and clicked on already purcahed apps and "installed" them on my new IPAD and got about 50 charges all at once from ITUNEs

    After setting up my new IPAD2 I went into the APPStore and noticed there was an already purchased section, which showed all my previous purchases I had made and installed on my IPAD I.  IT gave me the option to "install" them onto my IPAD2 and there was not visual "COST" associated with it and it never prompted me for a charge althought I had to enter my account password each time.  Additionally I didn't get any emails like you usually do when buying an app.  A few days later, BAM! 50 charges or so totalling upwards to 200 bucks with no description other than ITUNES on my bank account so I can't even tell which apps they were for.  Is part of the public BETA cloud testing?!  I hope to god not, it caused my bank account to go negative and now I have many NSF charges.  I can NOT affort this.  I know apple has a disclaimer "No refunds" under any circumstance.  But as far as I"m concerned.  THIS IS THEFT!
    Please note the IPAD os version is 4.3.3 (8J2) which isn't a drop down option for my OS below... Figures.

    More update on y situation. Now on both the IPAD and IPAD2 I can not got to view my purchase History, it says it can not connect to the ITUNES store, but yet I can still d/l apps and can view my account etc etc etc.

  • Sync Droid3 contacts and car radio

    Has anyone been able to transfer Droid3 contacts to a Kenwood car radio?  Mine will only sync some of the contacts.  Searching the internet looks like it is a Droid3 issue.  I don't want Facebook contacts, just Google.  Looks like iPhone will sync without any problems. 

    Hi ontheroad,
    Looking at your screen name, I'm sure it would be much more convenient to have your contacts synced with your car stereo. I can definitely help you with this. You would simply need to copy the contacts to the SD card on the phone and then they should sync with your stereo. Below are the steps for you.
    Contacts
    Menu
    Import/Export
    Where it says "Export Contacts to:" select SD Card.
    Once they are synced, please test this with your car stereo and post your results.
    Here is a link to the manual for the Droid 3 for you and other users of this device.

  • I have the 'new' iPad and it won't charge when I plug it into an electrical outlet.  It has been charging fine up until last week.

    I have the New iPad and the last two times I went to charge it overnight, it didn't charge.  I tried moving the charger to a different outlet and it would click to indicate that it was charging and then it would stop.  Finally, it did charge, but today it just won't begin to charge.  Is this a common problem?  Very frustrating after paying the big bucks to get the latest iPad. 

    There are probably three reasons your ipad might not charge:
    1. The outlet is. It good. But you've already changed outlets so that may not be the likely cause. Just to be sure double check the outlets with another appliance to make sure the outlet has power.
    2. The charger is bad. First make sure you are using the charger that came with your iPad. Then double check all your connections.
    3. Your connector on the iPad may have dirt in it. Blow the dust out and try again.
    If none of these work your iPad may be falty or you may need a new charger. Goto a apple store and have them check out your hardware.

  • IPAD and UPdate to Airprint Printer question Help Please?

    I have an HP 6500 printer that I utilize with my MacbookPro (from 2007) and it operates just fine wirelessly using WiFi at home. I did note  though that my iPod cannot print to the printer as the printer IS NOT AIRPRINT equipped.
    MY QUESTION?
    I am considering purchasing an IPAD MINI (RETINA)equipped with KeyNote, Pages, etc., and am wondering If I invest in an AIRPRINT equipped printer in order to enable printing from the IPAD MINI, will I also still be able to print from my Macbook Pro (2007) which is not equipped with anything that interfaces with AIRPRINT to my new AIRPRINT printer? In other words, is this reversed engineered to allow printing from an older laptop to a brand new AIRPRINT printer?
    Hope you can help, so I don't waste money on a new printer and an IPAD only to find out I can no longer use my LapTop (MacbookPro) to print.
    Thanks you for any help.
    Charles

    Thanks, Jim.
    Going to give it a try, Now, after reading all the reviews on the various HP and Epson model all-in-one printers, my next chore will be to make the actual selection. It seems that there as many people who love each unit as there are who hate each unit. Confusing, but I will digest it over the next several days and make a choice.
    Thanks again,
    Charles

  • My iPad and iPhone will not charge or sync with itunes.

    My iphone and ipad both will not charge nor sync with itunes when connected to my computer.  They will not charge when connected to an outlet.  The problem started at the same time on both devices.

    Did you ever get an answer to this?
    Today both my iPad 2 & iPhone will no longer charge or connect to iTunes. It's so weird!

  • Charger for ipad and iphones

    I am loooking for some recommendations on a charger accessory.  We have 2 iphone 5s and an ipad air.  The iphones have otterbox cases.
    They all using the lightening conenctor.  Right now we have a tangle of charging cables.
    I am looking for some kind of charging system or dock that will decrease the clutter.  It needs to work with the lightning connector, handle 3 units (2 iphones and an ipad), and be able to charge them all simultaneously.  I have found it suprisingly difficult to find a good product.
    Any recommendations?

    Wattage is a measure of power, not of voltage.
    The difference is the amount of power the adapter can provide.
    "Excess" power is not an issue, the lack of power is.
    So for example, if you try and charge an iPad with a lower wattage adapter, it may not charge at all or will take longer to charge.
    But it will not hurt to charge your iPhone or iPod with the higher power iPad adapter.

  • Can I play music from iPad into car stereo if I have a USB port ?

  • Anyone else lose bluetooth connection with car radio since updating to IOS 6?

    I've lost consistent connection between my iPhone 4S and car radio (Kenwood) ever since I upgraded to IOS 6.  This is apparantly happening to lots of people. I use this bluetooth for hands-free calling on my phone so I'm hoping Apple will come out with IOS 6.1 soon to address this software patch.  Others experiencing this with their phones and car stereo systems?

    I'm having probems as well.  I can make calls and play music but I can only change songs on my iPhone 4S but not with the controls on the car.  I was able to do this before the upgrade.

    You can charge anytime. You can also plug it in over night if you want because you can never over charge it.

  • IPad Air and 4th gen charging question

    Does the ipad 4th gen and iPad Air use the same charger. And can I use an iPhone 4s charger with a 30pin to lightning adapter to charge them?

    The iPad chargers fudge the USB standard a tad by pumping 1 Amp of current across the cable to ensure a faster charging time. Nornally USB should only carry 0.5 Amp, which is what the iPhone charger pumps out and is why it shouldn't be used with the iPads.
    Using the bigger iPad charger for all is fine: the iPad will charge as it should, the iPhone will sip less current and charge as usual. I don't even remember where I put the phone's brick; have two iPad bricks I use for everything.

  • Car charger question

    ok, they apparently have no car chargers made specifically for the 3g, and some of the older ones are coming up with error messages...I went to the apple store and they said they don't know for sure and can't garauntee anything but sold me one that is basically a carcharger usb converter...He said these have been working...
    It seems to work with no error message, but I do hear a VERY FAINT high high pitches hiss(similar to a misquito ringtone) when the phone's screen is on, coming from the charger, not the phone...
    I remember this happening with my old clickwheel ipod car charger.
    Main question...Is this ok, or is this abnormal? I only got it for emergency use and don't plan to use it unless I have too, untill the new ones come out...Also, where the heck are the 3g cases...They had a bunch of cases my grandma would wear...
    ***Also, I already lost my cloth, do they sell replacements.(I know any microfiber will do, but I liked that it said iphone on it and was the same size as the phone...lol

    The hiss is ok, but you need to be aware that you need to turn your phone feature off while listening to the iPhone in the car radio (that is, put it in airplane mode). The iPhone is not shielded and will cause terrible interference with the car radio signal.
