IPad / iPhone power chargers

Can I use my iPhone charger for my iPad?  It seems to charge a lot slower than the original charger that I received with my iPad...

The quickest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (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 will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes.

  • Are the chargers supplied with iPad / iPhone / iPod interchangeable?

    Are the charges completely interchangeable? I don't want to have to carry round more than one!
    Thanks

    Hi Grahamfff,
    Yes, they are interchangeable, but if you want to carry around just one, carry the iPad charger.
    The iPhone chargers are lower power so will charge the iPad very slowly.
    See the section Charging Tips
    " 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."

  • I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?

    I want to transfer movies I have downloaded from iTunes from my iPhone 5 to a flash drive to be able to use when I have no wifi on my iPad,when power is out etc ?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
    If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
    Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

  • Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

    Why Apple doesn't provide options in IOS to power off, reset, standby ipad/iPhone/ipod ? I don't se this opiton in IOS6 as well ? This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.

    They do.
    Standby = press the Power button
    Power off = Press and hold Power button then slide the red power off slider.
    Reset = Press and hold both Reset adn Home till you see the Apple logo.
    This option will help to avoid pressing power button less number of times and gives better user experience.
    Because it is better to not push the power button and more enjoyable to not push it?

  • Time Capsule for iPad/iPhone storage instead of PC/Mac

    Can you use your time capsule to back up Ipad, Iphone, Mini, etc. if you have two separate Apple ID's (husband/wife) without backing up to PC/Mac first?  In other words, I would like to download all my photos, movies, etc. to the Capsule and be able to bring it up whenever I need (home or away) on my device and will it store separate Apple ID's so the wife can do the same?  I know this sounds very cloudish, but it is different.

    TC cannot repeat from non-apple router. Although that is not quite true WDS is so bad and so insecure you would never in a million years do it. if you have a security router like Sonicwall.
    It would be like building a castle with a moat and the drawbridge can never be pulled up or the gate shut.
    If you setup the TC in bridge and as an AP plugged into the sonic wall by ethernet.. that will work fine. You can setup a roaming wireless network.. which works well on Macs but generally PC fail totally. That is only relevant to laptops and portable devices though.
    PC will be able to use the TC as a backup target.. it is not ideal and you will generally need to play around a bit but it does work.
    You should note.. a TC is not a NAS.. it is primarily designed as a backup target for Mac Laptops with Time Machine. That is why the combo of wireless plus hard disk.
    It is a dumb box.. really a hard drive hanging off a wireless router.. (only it is inside it.. well sealed inside).
    It is slow.. fast enough for wireless clients.. but it is a single green drive.. no raid to mirror.. no esata or way to extend the drive.. no JBOD .. when it runs out of space.. it is out of space.
    But principally there is no internal backup.. as a place to store files.. it stinks.. you will have to setup a manual backup.
    If you want a NAS buy a NAS and plug it into the fastest router point you have.
    To extend wireless use a proper repeater if you have to.. repeaters are never a great idea.. it is much better to use multiple AP's tied back by ethernet.
    Cost wise the TC is very hard to beat if it suits your function.. but it has a short lifespan.. do not trust it after 3 years. It is sealed.. if it dies in warranty it is replaced.. no data will be recovered.. after all .. it is a backup device.. there are no parts available to fix it.. power supply being the chief thing that goes wrong.
    Read in google a bit.. dead time capsule
    You will see what I mean.

  • Apple tv output to iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac

    One can stream the display of iPad/iPhone/iPod to TV using Airplay/appletv.
    Is it possible to stream the output of apple tv to iPad/iPhone/iPod/Mac using Airplay?
    Thanks,
    BC

    I wouldn't get too worried about standby, just set it to sleep in Settings after a certain period.
    Mine seems to sleep when I change TV input or power down the TV anyway.
    It is actually quite a low power device being about a 6W rating - I appreciate every little helps with energy saving though.
    I assume it is the black AppleTv 2 or 3?

    Hey mjmsurrey60,
    It sounds like the iDevices have gotten out of sync with the home network.  I would advise a full power cycle of the circuit involved.
    Unplug the 8600 while powered on
    Unplug the power from the router
    COMPLETELY power off the iDevices, not simply put in sleep mode.  Click here for information about how to do so on an iPhone.  The steps are similar for other iDevices.
    Wait 30-60 seconds
    Plug the router back up and wait for it to completely power back up
    Plug the 8600 back in for power
    Power the iDevices back up and wait for them to sync with the network again
    Try to print again
    Let me know the results.

  • Cannot get ipad, iphones to print using wireless on Photosmart estation e510

    I have a photosmart  estation e-510 and I am trying to get my assorted ipads, iphones to print wireless using this printer.
    I have downloaded the iprint apps, and I have the wireless feature working on the printer. The Apple products will not recognize the printer. i am using a Cisco dual band router.
    I have searched on the forums,on HP website no help.
    Any assistance would be appreciated
    Bob
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Let's start with a restart of the router.  Pull its power plug for a few seconds, plug back in and wait for it to start up.
    If that does not do it, restart your printer and your iOS devices.   Make sure all devices have the lastest firmware.

  • IPhone power adapter charge iPod Touch?

  • 3 amp, 2-port charger for iPad & iPhone, where are they?

    Why hasn't Apple (or Griffin Technology) released a 2-port travel charger for iPad & iPhone? Is it really that hard to design a 3-amp power block? It is a royal pain having to carry 2 power blocks, and a struggle to find enough outlets to get everything charging at once.
    Thanks!

    This is my preference, by Belkin, because it has all of the bases covered; surge protector with three electrical outlets and two USB outlets. You can swivel the prongs on the back 360° with 4 locking positions. I take mine everywhere I travel.

  • Hardware requirements for ipad/iphone application development.

    Hello,
    I'd like to know what is the "comfortable" hardware requirement  to develop fairly big  ipad/iphone applications in a professional environment.
    Comfortable = No hardware upgrades of any kind for at least one year of heavy programming.
    I'd like to have solid numbers:
    CPU
    Memory (in GB)
    Hard drive size.
    Thank You for any help.

    raw power? More than enough to run Xcode.
    You asked for minimum. Any new Mac today is enough. Not sure I'd bother with an Air and small screens, tho they will do in a pinch.
    Have you walked into an Apple Store and tried using any of the computers on display? What types of apps will you be expected to work on? AirPlay and iCloud part of the apps you'll build? Universal apps or just iPhone or iPad? What do you do when you need several windows on the deskop?
    What newcomers seem to overlook are the ancillary demands from the associated text, graphics, movie and audio editors that all seem to be simultaneously required.
    I run three monitors and 1/2 dozen test mules. I keep full backups at all times. Do the math. A professional environment doesn't sound like it would require any minimums. You haven't laid out any details so it's difficult to give more than casual advice I think. You're asking questions, tho, so your on the right track.
    Good luck in any case and Happy Holidays!

  • Ipad mini power cable

    When I plug my iPad Mini power cable into a USB hub, the hub gets a "power surge" and shuts down.  What can I do?

    The USB hub doesn't provide enough power to charge the iPad.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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.

    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.

  • AiO Remote app on iPad/iPhone does not find M1217nfw

    Hi,
    I have a M1217nfw setup on my WiFi network.  I can use Airprint from my iPad or iPhone to print on it - works fine.  However I want to use the AiO Remote app on my iPad or iPhone to scan documents from this printer to my iPad/iPhone.
    The problem is that when I try to use the app it tells me that it cannot find any printer!  I upgraded the firmware on the printer - still no go.
    I even tried to connect it using the HP Wireless Direct options - still no go.
    Treid to connect using the printer's IP address - still no go.
    According to the document http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c03843137&sp4ts.oid=2... - the M1217nfw is supported by the AiO Remote app.
    Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated!
    thanks,

    Hi @vijar,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums.  I see that you would like to learn more about HP’s All-in-One Printer Remote app.
    I have included the HP All-in-One Printer Remote Mobile App FAQs document. It has a section dedicated to the printers that support this app and the Laserjet 1217nfw printer is not supported by the app.   I have notified the appropriate department regarding the document.

    CREATE A NEW USER
    Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
    Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
    Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
    Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.
