Is it safe to paint an iPhone charger with nail polish?

Is it safe to paint an iPhone charger with nail polish to make it easier to tell which one belongs to me? I would like to paint the part that plugs into the wall, the top of the part that plugs into the charger, and the top of the piece that plugs into the phone.

Not the whole charger. You might put a stripe on it, but I would suggest you not use nail polish because it's flammable.

Iphone charging with ipod car installed link is this possible?

I have an Acura TL and I had the ipod link added at the dealer, I was wondering if it is possible to plug the iphone into this link to charge the iphone like it was an ipod?

Start by calling Apple Support at the country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 as the info from the person you talked with is incorrect.
You can leave the MBP with a full charge with no problems, in fact that is the best thing to do.
The iPhone charging did not damage the MBP battery, the failure of that battery is another issue.
When you say you bought the MBP charger on-line, is it an Apple charger or third-party charger? Many thiord-party chargers do not output the correct power (voltage and current) for the computer and do cause damage to the battery and charging circuitry.
Talk with the Apple Support people and see what they recommend and how to proceed.

Iphone charges with car charger but not house charger?

Also does not charge when plugged into my MAC

Check the little gold pins on your charge cable. We have burned up two apple cables from regular use. They do t appear to be designed well.

Is it safe to paint nail polish on the adapter part of the iPhone charger?

I wanted to put glitter nail polish on the adapter part of my iphone charger. Is it safe??

There is nothing against it to my personal knowledge BUT I would suggest maybe buying a sparkly iPhone charging cable from an authorized store or the Apple Online Store.
But I've painted the keys on my keyboard before so it's up to you.

Is it safe to charge my iPhone 4S with my Palm Pre and HTC charger?

Recently, I've lost the white charger that came with my iPhone 4S, but I still have the USB cable that originally came with it and I was wondering if it's safe to use the USB charger that came with my pervious Palm Pre and HTC EVO. The phone charges when I use these. But I'm not sure if it's safe to use these to charge my iPhone

It is fine.

As output voltage is correct, charging is safe. It will charge about twice as fast as compared to its own charger.

Understanding iPhone Charging and Power Adapters

I've been in a protracted discussion (now locked) regarding iPhone battery charging and whether it is harmful/helpful to use the iPad power adapter rather than the iPhone power adapter.
There are a lot of misconceptions related to iPhone charging and current ratings on the iPhone and iPad power adapters. As an electrical engineer, I'd like to clear up some misconceptions.
Apple supplies a power adapter, not a "battery charger," with the iPhone and iPad.
The iPhone power adapter supplies a constant 5V at up to 1A (rated–independent tests have shown that it can supply almost 1.8A).
The iPad power adapter supplies a constant 5V at up to 2 or 2.1A (rated).
The iPhone's battery charging voltage and current are regulated within the phone.
The iPhone's battery is rated at 3.7V. Charged with the raw 5V from the power adapter, it would be destroyed. Fortunately, the internal regulation in the iPhone prevents that.
The maximum current that an iPhone will draw from a 5V power adapter is right around 1 amp. It does not matter if the charger is capable of supplying more, that's the most that the iPhone will use.
Because of the internal charge regulation, the iPhone battery will not charge any faster on an iPad power adapter than on an iPhone power adapter.
Apple approves the use of the iPad power adapter with the iPhone. It is completely safe for that purpose and does not harm the phone or battery in any way.
A water analogy might make this much easier for people without electrical engineering background to understand.
Water pressure (psi) is analogous to voltage.
Water flow (gallons per minute) is equivalent to current flow (amps).
A faucet valve is analogous to the iPhones battery charging regulation circuitry.
A bucket's capacity (gallons) is analogous to a battery's capacity (amp-hours or AH).
Let's say you adjust the faucet to flow 1/10 of a gallon per hour. The five gallon bucket will take 50 minutes to fill up. Easy enough. But then...
You need a lot more water flow for a new sprinkler system.
You need a lot more current for your new iPad.
Since the water pressure is constant at 80psi, the only way to get more flow use a bigger supply line.
Since the voltage is constant at 5V, the only way to get more current is to use a higher current power adapter.
After installing the new higher capacity water supply line, you go out to your faucet and adjust it to 1/10 of a gallon per hour.
After plugging in the higher capacity iPad adapter, you plug in your iPhone and its charging regulation circuitry adjusts the current flow to about an amp.
The bucket still takes just as long to fill up.
The battery still takes just as long to charge.
The faucet is not under additional strain since the pressure is still 80psi.
The iPhone's battery charging circuitry is not under additional strain since the supply voltage is still 5V.
I hope that I've clarified this for those who want to better understand the subject.

As far as the battery status, the tiny little icon in
the upper right corner of the screen is somewhat
helpful, but while it is connected it does not
actually indicate the level of the charge or that the
Iphone is charging. I was hoping to find a more
informative screen that would give better battery
details. When you first connect the iPhone sometimes
I get a large battery icon that shows the level
visually Is there a way to navigate to this screen?
1. Press the top button to turn the display off if it's not off already.
2. Connect to a power source.
3. The screen should display a large battery meter in the middle of the screen that actually shows the state of charge, even if charging.
If you don't see this plugged into your Mac try the AC adapter that came with the phone. If you still don't see it take it to an Apple store.

Hi All, Wanted to share!
As some of you may know, we had a pretty scary incident recently. Attached are pictures of what remains of our 2007 Suburban. We are all okay but I wanted to warn everyone not to make the same mistake I did. This fire resulted from leaving an iPhone charger/docking station plugged into the car outlet. It overheated and started a fire, while parked in our garage. PLEASE unplug anything you have in your car outlets once you turn off your car!
We were VERY fortunate that we found the fire, at 11pm, before going to bed and before it spread to the house. None of our garage heat detectors or house fire alarms went off (another item to take care of on my “to do” list). Feel free to pass this along to anyone you want. Better safe than sorry.

@Rudegar, I must compliment you on your choice of cases.

Can I charge my iPhone 4 with a 2.1 mA transformer?

My older AC/DC Apple transformer outputs DC at 1 mA. But it has been stolen by my mother for her iPhone 5. So now I have this off-brand AC/DC transformer that outputs DC at 2.1mA. Is this safe to use with an Apple cable and an iPhone 4?

Yes it's safe. There's active (maybe passive?) regulation circuits in all the devices that limit the amount of current. The ipad charger might charge slightly faster since the output is 5.1 volts; the iphone charger is an even 5 volts.

Is it safe to update my iphone 4s to ios 7.1.1

Well mine is a brick now because of it. Since the exact day of updating my 4S has been a mess.

I watched it charge up in 20% increments at first. Switching plugged and unplugged status while plugged in.
Took it in to Verizon and they told me the phone looked fine and the battery tested fine. Noted they were seeing a lot of people coming in with similar issues. Associates claimed it was something in the software.
A few weeks later my phone has managed to drop its charge while plugged in and is now a paperweight.
I don't advise it. If you look close enough there are several people reporting the same or similar issues since updating. Simple Yes and No responses are just presumptuous.

IPad, iPhone charging

Can I use my iPad charger for my iPhone also?

After reading some of the replies to this post and other similar posts, I am left wondering: if the iPad charger supplies 10 watts of power, thus charging it faster than using an iPhone charger which only supplies 5 watts of power, is it SAFE to use an iPad charger for the iPhone?? I know it is POSSIBLE but is it SAFE for the phone?

IHome as iphone charger??

I have a 3-year old iHome speaker/alarm clock/dock/charger, does anyone know if it's safe to use it to charge my iphone? When I tried it, it said something like "this is not made for this so and so.. turn off airplane mode...".
Thanks a lot.

I would say it is not safe, there has been a few posts here saying that they have smoked their iPhone with the iHome
I would wait untill they put out an iHome that says works with iPhone

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! They said it should be pulsating but it's not

Hi! I'm just having a little trouble when it comes to battery charging of my iPhone 5 with its new iOS 7! It doesn't indicates that the battery is fully charge unlike the old version of iOS! I already read some reviews and discussion about this. They said that the lightning bolt should pulsate when charging but it's not!

Thanks for the replies. It took a while not hearing anything so thought I was alone. I have done many of the suggestions already. The key here is that it occurs on both phones with apps, and phones still packaged in a box.
A Genius Bar supervisor also checked his Verizon data usage log and found the same 6 hour incremental use. Suprisingly, he did not express much intrigue over that. Maybe he did, but did not show it.
I think the 6 hour incremental usage is the main issue here. I spoke with Verizon (again) and they confirmed that all they do is log exactly when the phone connected to the tower and used data. The time it records is when the usage started. I also found out that the time recorded is GMT.
What is using data, unsolicited, every 6 hours?
Why does it change?
Why does it only happen on the iPhone 5 series and not the 4?
Since no one from Apple seems to be chiming in on this, and I have not received the promised calls from Apple tech support that the Genius Bar staff said I was suppose to receive, it is starting to feel like something is being swept under the rug.
I woke up the other day with another thought ... What application would use such large amounts of data? Well ... music, video, sound and pictures of course. Well ... what would someone set automatically that is of any use to them? hmmm ... video, pictures, sound. Is the iPhone 5 succeptible to snooping? Can an app be buried in the IOS that automatically turns on video and sound recording, and send it somewhere ... every 6 hours? Chilling. I noted that the smallest data usage is during the night when nothing is going on, then it peaks during the day. The Genius Bar tech and I looked at each other when I drew this sine wave graph on the log print outs during an appointment ...

IPhone charge and Sync issues

Hi there I have a problem with my 3G and I sincerely hope I can et some help here. I have had my iPhone for about 18 months give or take and have had no problems with it until recently. I had a minor issue about three months into my ownership, in that I broke part of the circuit board that connects to the charger and sync cable. If you were to look at the bottom of the phone, with the screen up, the missing piece would be at the far right. At first I was freaking out of course, but everything worked. I have successfully updated it twice and never had an issue with charging. I was shocked but very happy about this as you can well imagine. Very suddenly two weeks ago the iPhone would suddenly not kick into the charging mode, though it would trickle charge if left connected. It also is not recognised at all by my computer, or by iTunes. I have tried several computers and several sync cables now and can confirm that the problem is with the iPhone itself. I find it difficult to swallow that this problem is related to the earlier breakage, but I suppose it's possible. One interesting bit here is that if I connect the iPhone to the wall charger with the iPhone turned off, It still doesn't go into the charging mode, but the Apple logo appears, I believe this tells me that the issue isn't hardware related, but I'm not positive.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, but honestly I find it difficult to believe that the iPhone would work perfectly for approximately 15 months after being damaged. I'm not discounting the possibility, completely, but it is a bit hard to believe.
