Ipod / iPhone car charger

What is the difference (if any) between the iPod & iPhone car charger?
When I plug my iPod car charger into my iPhone the alert +'This accessory is not made to work with iPhone. Do you want to turn on Airplane Mode?+
I have not tried to actually connect it to the car charger as yet and would appreciate any ideas or experience of same.

You can safely ignore that message (and not use Airplane Mode). It just means the accessory is not shielded against cell phone signals (i.e. you may get some static on your car radio).

  • Can my iphone car charger charge the iPad?

    I have a car charger for my iPhone. Is it safe to use that for the iPad?

    The normal iPod/iPhone car chargers output 1amp The iPad needs 2Amp to charge normally
    If you have a " cigarette lighter" power  socket several manufacturers supply inserts with a 2.1amp USB outlet
    for instance the Griffin Powerbolt and Kensington also do one

  • Iphone car charger once again not charging. Second one and they are not cheap from the apple store.Any else have these problems?

    My Iphone car charger is not charging again. This is the second one I have bought from the Apple store and they are not cheap anyone else have problems?

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Will a iPhone car charger work with iPad 2

    Can a iPhone car charge a iPad or not? I'm using a DC/USB car adapter but when i plug it in it said Not Charging.

    It will give that message but if you turn the iPad off (it won't charge if it is working) and give it about 8 hours it will charge despite that message.
    You'd be far better off investing in a car charger designed for the iPad and you can also use it with your iPhone.

  • Can u charge an ipad using an iphone car charger

    Can an iPhone car charger be used to charge an iPad2?

    Although some direct USB connections will charge the iPad very slowly (very likely even my Acura) it is typically not enough for the "lightning" symbol to even show up on the battery icon on the iPad.  The iPhone car charge is not different and when plugged in, my symbol does not change.  In addition, if you are actually using the iPad at the same time, you'll drain it much faster than the base USB will ever charge it.  I'd buy one made specifically to charge the iPad and then as Chris states you can use it on both without worry.  Like killing two birds with one stone.

  • Can an iphone car charger be used safely with an ipad?

    can an iphone car charger be used safely with an ipad?

    Safely? Yes. Effectively? Probably not. iPhones use 5W chargers. iPads need 10@ chargers. Unless the charger you have is rated for both devices, it will only charge the iPad if the screen is off and then only very slowly.

  • HT1665 Can iPhone car charger be used for latest iPad?

    Can iPhone car charger be used for new iPad?

    Probably not. The iPhone charger is 5W whereas the iPad requires a 10W charger. The iPhone car charger will probable charge the iPad, but very slowly.
    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.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    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.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • HT4060 Can I use IPhone car charger to charge my IPad when traveling?

    Can I use a car charger for an IPhone to charge my Ipad when traveling?

    Not effectively
    All iphone charger in car and wall chargers produce 5w
    the iPad requires 10w ,you can get 10w USB plugs to fit the car
    power socket ( cigarette lighter)
    Belkin and Griffin make quality versions of the charger

  • US iPhone car charger in UK

    I'm traveling to Scotland and Ireland next month and was wondering if iPhone car chargers used in the US will work with the UK and Ireland cars we will rent?  I vaguely recall owning a British Triumph Spitfire in my youth that was positive ground instead of the standard negative ground system found in the US.
    Any insight would be appreciated.

    that changed decades ago around 1970s
    Any branded 12 v input 5V output USB or dedicated iPhone charger will work

  • Ipod on car charger all the time

    im putting a ipod on my harley and was wondering if it would hurt anything if i powered it through the car charger so i wouldnt have to worry about the battery going dead?

    If the charger works correctly is should stop charging when charge is complete. Use an iPod rated for charging iPods and you shouldn't have any problems.

  • Can I use my iPod Touch car charger on my iPad 2?

    I have an iPod Touch and have a car charger for it. I just purchased a new iPad 2, and want to know if I can use the same car charger for it? If not, what technical specs should I look for when buying a new charger?

    Yes you can use it, BUT, it will charge much slower than the 10W wall charger.

  • Apple Approved iPhone Car Charger

    I'm looking for a car charger for my iPhone. There isn't one available from Apple, but there are a few made by third parties. I always hear that you're not supposed to use third party chargers and what not because it'll do this and that with your battery and since the iPhone battery is a critical part of its functionality, I'm wondering if using a third party charger is OK, and if Apple is hiding a car charger somewhere that I can't see.

    The iPhone uses a 5 volt .5 amp charger. The iPad uses a 5 volt 1.2 amp charger. The iPhone charger will work, but it will not charge and allow you to use the device at the same time. It would work like a trickle charger on your car. It will get there, but it's going to take a lot longer.

  • 2-GB iPod nano: car charger problem

    My second generation nano will not charge from the car charger, while it charges well from USB. I know the charger is fine (identical nano works with this charger). Any ideas? Is it broken?

    > What are the specs of the "12V" car charger?
    Well... The usual: 12V input from the cigarette lighter and 12V output to iPod connector.
    > HOW is the problem "INSIDE" the iPod since the power

    the iPod expects regardless of whether it started as

    Another (but same model) iPod works (with THIS charger) just fine - that is HOW.
    BTW, and what exactly does iPod expect?
