Is it safe to use a non-Apple charger?

I ordered a non-Apple charger and asked the seller if there was any risks and he told me no because the debit is the good one (not sure what it is, maybe he was talking about the volts?) and it is certified CE. So is it okay?

Not sure if you would consider it a risk, but there have been deaths associated with the use of non-Apple chargers and devices. That is what has lead Apple to make the statement, and also to work at making it difficult for non-Apple chargers, or non-certified cables from working on Apple devices.

  • Is it bad to use a non apple charger to charge my macbook air?

    I just ordered a replacement charger on eBay and realized that it was a non apple charger, is it bad to still use it?

    Yes!!
    I recommend not using it.  Recall that some iPhone fires were actually started by using non-approved iPhone chargers.

  • Anyone using a non-Apple charging dock?

    I returned the Apple charging dock because I didn't like it--too wobbly, and too hard to take the iPad out of it w/o lifting up the dock too. I've seen a few non-Apple docks on eBay and amazon, and I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with other docks?

  • First off, i think it's sad that i have to use my non apple device to post this question... Why has my iPad become absolutely useless after updating to iOS 8.1? I am unable to use my mini because it crashes, slow performance, major battery drain.

    Restore iPad to Factory Default; do not restore from backup. It may be the cause of the problem.

    In IOS 7.0.3, it no longer lets me use non-apple charging cords.  Did this happen to everyone?

    The fix is to log into your current account. Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email and apple id back to the old email address (doesn't matter if you have it any longer). Once the change is made, then enter your password for that account on the device. Once you get in, go ahead and go back to appleid.apple.com and change it back. That fixed mine.
    need to edit this to clarify a bit

    Can I use a non apple wireless hard drive with time Machine?

    Some NAS (network storage) systems do claim to support Time Machine, with varying levels of success. For example, the Synology units have this feature. They're not officially supported by Apple, though.

  • Can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

    can i use a non-apple keyboard with my imac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    You can use the keyboard you want with your iMac. However, note that some keys, as the Command key, aren't present in non-Apple keyboards. For example, in a non-Apple keyboard, you have to press the Windows key because that's the replacement of the Command key of an Apple keyboard

  • Do you need a converter to charge Ipod nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/plug adapter in Switzerland?

    do you need a converter to charge Ipod Nano (5th gen) using a non-Apple wall charger/adapter plug in Switzerland? or is the Ipod Nano dual-voltage?

    None of the iDevices are multi-voltage themselves...the chargers from Apple are all 110-240 volt.  You will have to look at the non-Apple charger you have and see if it says it handles 110-240 volts.  Most made today are capable of that range, or they would have to make a different item for each country.
    All you probably need is a plug-pin converter, can find those in the airport, at least in Zurich, don't know about Geneva.

  • Hi- Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7.

    Hi- My  Iphone 5 wont charge using power cable or USB...I am using a genuine apple charger/cable..this started after I was prompted with new update for IOS 7 yesterday. My phone is dead and wouldnt power up ..have tried resetting using itunes but i doesnt detect the phone and..pressing sleep/home button doesnt do anything

    Update
    I guess that it just had a bad connecting port on the phone itself, no clue why it wouldn't work when plugged in both ways other than there is actually some differentiating between the two sides.

  • Using a non Apple Display with the Mini

    I am considering purchasing a Mac Mini.
    It will be installed in my living room and connected to my stereo to play music from iTunes.
    In this area I only have about 19 inches of width. So I'm looking at purchasing a non Apple display that will fit in this width.
    What requirements should I look for in a display (hopefully to avoid adapters)?

    Recommend you buy from someplace that has a good exchange/return policy.
    Thanks, I always do, especially with a display.
    Some places have a policy that requires a certain number of dead pixels before they will accept a return.
    I ALWAYS test a display with 'Pixel Tester' immediately. If I find ANY defective pixels I return the display, and I never say the word "pixel" to them.
    having one dead pixel that is white, for example, while all others show color, can be annoying.
    And hard to re-sell later. Look on ebay, you will find many ads for used computers and displays that say "No Dead Pixels".

  • Can I use two  non-apple displays on my G5? Is there an adaptor for this?

    I found a great deal on two non-Apple wide screen displays. I can hook up one to my G5 via the DVI port but can't use the second port--typically used by an Apple Display. Is there an adaptor that I can use so that I can use my second non-apple display?
