IPad Mini adapter overheating in Europe

I am using the iPad Mini in Europe at 220 VAC 50Hz.
The adapter is supposed to work at that voltage fine.
It does charge but gets very hot. Is it still safe?

The apple charger is rated 100V to 240V, 50/60 Hz. You can use it in any country.

  • My iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

    When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
    You may need to recalibrate your battery.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

  • Moving an iPad Mini To and From Europe

    I have a friend who is in the Army and who asked me to research the iPad Mini.  He currently lives in Europe, and wants an iPad Mini with cellular that he can use on a network over there.  I talked to Apple Sales in the US and they said he could buy one here, choose Verizon, then just swap Nano SIM cards when he receives the mini.
    What they weren't sure about was what happens when he moves back to the US.  Can he just reinsert the Verizon SIM and call them to buy a plan, or will the Mini somehow be tied into the first network it was activated on in Europe?
    Also, are there any other considerations, pitfalls, things to look for or do..?

    He will need a power plug adapter to fit the wall outlets where he is. iPads verision 3 and newer with 3G can be used worldwide on 3G networks. LTE will not work everywhere. Read the specifications.

  • Ipad mini 16GB overheating under the home button? Is it okay?

    My Ipad is heated just under the Home button on using barely 15mins. Is it normal? Does it occur in all other Ipad Mini's frequently? Just purchased it 5 days ago. Do i need to get it checked at the store?

    No the battery is non removable.
    Try a Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • My iPad mini adapter gets hot when charging?

    Why does my iPad mini FireWire get hot when charging?

    The iPad does not have FireWire, do you mean the USB cable?  The charger and cable will get warm during charging but should not actually be hot.  If they are too hot to handle, try a different charger/cable and see if they are just as hot.
    If not, take the iPad, charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar to be examined by the technicians.

    Thank you

    Wifi is wifi (generally) and you should be able to take your american bought device (presuming that's what you mean) to europe and get it online.
    The biggest issue you may face is to make sure you have a plug adapter. Your power brick is rated for world wide power variances you'll just need an adapter to make the plug fit eurpoean plugs.

  • Does the iPad mini have a setting so it can be used with either 120 or 240 electrical current? If yes, how do you go about setting the desired input voltage? I will travel to Northern Europe and want to know if I will need a voltage converter.

    The iPad charger is dual voltage. You need only a plug adapter to be able to plug your US charger into a European wall outlet. A basic one costs about $2.00. - $6.00. Like this...

  • Is there a way to display iPad Mini on TV using Lightning Adapter?

    I can do it with my old iPad but the Mini is reporting that it doesn't recognize the Lightning adapter. I have the HDMI cable plugged into the TV, the other end of the HDMI cable is plugged into an Apple HDMI to 30-pin adapter, and then I have a 30-pin to Lightning adapter connected which is plugged into the iPad mini. With this configuration I am not getting any transfer of picture from the Mini to the TV - the Mini is even reporting that it doesn't recognize the adapter (have tried the adapter in an iPhone 5 with the same result). Plug an old iPhone 4 into the 30-pin adapter and get picture on the TV.
    Is there something in the Settings that needs to be configured?
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    That will not work. You need to get this: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3 a

  • How do I use a digital adapter to content from my iPad mini on to a TV?

    I have 32in Sony TV, an iPad Mini and a Lighting Digital AV Adapter.  I tried to get content from the iPad mini to my TV but the digital adapter only transferred the sound.  I used the adapter on an iPhone 5s, and it got both sound and video.  Why doesn't the Digital adapter work with the iPad mini?

    Thanks for your reply. 
    However, I am not talking about Apple TV.  I got the adapter to mirror material on my iPhone 5s to the Sony TV via the digital adapter, whether it was email or a movie, but it would not do the same with an iPad mini.  I am trying to find a way to mirror without Airplay. I use a Virtual Private Network for streaming some entertainment and other materials but sometimes the wifi transmission is uneven. I can get the material on the iPhone or iPad with no problem.  When I switch to Airplay, the transmission becomes unstable the picture lags or freezes.  Doesn't happen without Airplay.  So I bought a digital adapter, and it works fine but only for the VPN transmission on an iPhone 5s. Why does the iPhone 5s work with the digital adapter but the iPad mini does not? The digital adapter is an A1438.  I would like to get it to work with the iPad also.

  • HT204266 Do I need a converter in addition to an adapter to charge my phone and ipad mini in France?

    Do I need a converter in addition to an adapter to charge my phone and ipad mini in France?

    I used my iPod touch power plug and cord in France with no problem.  I did need an adapter to allow me to plug our 2-blade plug into their round-post outlets.  There are no electronics involved in that, just metal pieces.  You can pick those up cheaply online (I just borrowed one at my hotel).  (PS - I live in the US).

  • HT4101 When connecting my camera to my IPad mini via lightniing to usb camera adapter,I get "The attached accessory uses too much power" .Any solutions?

    When I connect my Ipad mini to my camera via lightning to usb camera adapter all i get is a message "The attached accessory uses too much power."Any solutions

    It depends on the camera, but some have a special mode for offloading photos but not trying to charge the camera through the USB port. For others, you may have to pull out the SD card (if that's what it uses) and use the Lightning to SD card reader instead.
    Maybe if you told us what camera you are connecting, somebody here with the same model can give you more specific information.

  • Logitech speaker S715i won't recharge my "ipad mini" using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter. Has anyone solved this problem?

    Everytime I connect my mini to the Logitech S715i or Logitech Pure-Fi Express Plus speaker a pop-up appears telling me the iPad doesn't recognize the device and the battery symbol shows that it isn't loading. I am using the lightning to 30-pin Adapter.
    Is there a way to correct this so my speaker will act as a dock and load the iPad?
    Would love the help if you have the know how. Thanks!

    Since the last update I have noticed the percentage of battery power does increase when my iPad mini has been docked although the actually staus reported on the iPad screen while docked is 'not charging'. This is obviously an Apple recognization problem (not sure about third party as Apple is providing the software).
    Will not return my Logitech as it has excellent sound (speakers are higher watt then others in this price range), plus it has a built in battery which means I can take it on the terrace for tea in the afternoon.
    As pointed out it requires more power then the iPhone, it does take longer to charge, so in the future if I need a quicker charge I'll do it via a wall outlet.
    side note: This problem must also be why my iMac is shutting down all other USB devices when the iPad is plugged in.
