Is using the 5 watt charger bad for the Ipad2 ?

The iPad 2 needs a 10W charger. The 5W charger do not supply enough current to charge the iPad.
It will not do any damage to the iPad.

  • Is using a 12 volt charger bad for my iPhone 5?

    Is using a 12 volt charger bad for my iPhone 5?  I just purchased the iPad Air and it came with the same lightning cable that was included with my iPhone 5.  The only difference is that the charger that came with my iPhone is a 10 volt and the one that came with my iPad Air is a 12 volt.  I find it would be easier if I could just use one cable instead of two, but I'm afraid that the12 volt charger would mess up my iPhone.  Can anyone help answer this question?

    There is no problem using the iPad charger with the iPhone. I've been doing it for years because it's just easier. The iPhone will stop charging when it reaches capacity. If you look at the Apple Online Store, you'll see that the 12-volt charger they sell is listed as working for both iPhones and iPads.
    Best of luck.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air

    Can i use a 85 watt charger with a new macbook air that comes with a 45 watt charger. One says its 14.8 volts and the other is 20 volts.

    To be clear, the wattage of the adapter is not the power delivered to the Mac, but rather the power the adapter is capable of delivering.
    Think of it as the difference between a 200 HP and a 400 HP engine; both can drive at a certain speed with no issues, the difference is what happens if you floor the gas pedal.
    The same is true between the higher wattage power adapter that comes with the iPad and the one that comes with iPhones; you can use the higher wattage adapter to charge and iPhone with no issue, but if you try and use the iPhone adapter to charge the iPad it may work, but it will take much, much longer.

    While iPhone and iPod chargers don't really charge the iPad, the iPad charger will successfully charge all other devices.

  • Can i use a 85 watt charger for my macbook pro that came with an 60 watt charger?

    My charger broke a few weeks ago and i ordered another one on amazon and that broke within a week so i'm going to just buy another one from the apple store. But i dont want to wait to order one because i currently cant use my laptop since it died (i dont live near an apple store), but theres a store that sells apple products. they only have 85 watt for the laptops though. so would i be able to use that without ANY issues? I would rather order from the apple store than to buy something that can cause problems, so i just want to know if my macbook will be safe if i use an 85 watt instead of the 60 watt, which is what originally came with my laptop. Thank you.

    An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

  • Can I use an 85 watt charger for my 15" mac book pro

    the 15" came with a 60 watt charger - it is okay to use the more powerful charger (that came with a 17" mac book pro) on the smaller laptop?

    Here is Apple's official position on use of adapters.

  • HT4060 Can I use my 10 watt charger overseas or to a 220 wattage ? This for iPad 3

    Have iPad 3with 10 watt charger - can I use this overseas (Philippines) with 220 wattage?

    Technically, there is a difference between a convertor and an adaptor.
    Adaptor - changes to plug configuration to match the socket
    Convertor - changes the voltage from 220v to 110v
    Most, Apple chargers are 100-240v, so you would only need an adaptor.
    Check your charger, if it's only 110v then you will need a convertor. Plugging a 110v only device into a 220v socket will burn out the device.

  • Can I use an 85 watt charger with my mac air

    I have multipke 85 watt chargers from mmp's but only one for a 2011 mac air and want to be sure that it is safe to use the 85 watt chargers, hate to waste $ purchasing a charger just for the mba.
    Thanks

    It's fine. You can use a higher than specified wattage, just not a lower one, when charging a MacBook.
    My MBA is tied to a 85 watt this very moment, and most of the time.

  • Can i use a 5 watt charger on ipad retina?

    Have an ipad retina display ( not mini) my charger got ruined and bought a 5 watt charger, can i use it?, will it ruin my ipad? Will it reduce the overall batrery life. Thank you for support

    No, the iPads use chargers that are either 10 or 12 watts...a 5 watt charger is not powerful enough to charge an iPad.

  • Is in-car charging BAD for your phone?

    I've heard some phone retailers say that because the current generated by cars are 'not stable', charging phones in-car will degenerate the battery - some even suggest it may damage the phone long-term.
    Is this true/proven?
    Is this more likely if you use third party in-car chargers, versus original Nokia in-car chargers?
    Appreciate insights on this matter.
    My E71 is such a battery hog with 3G Push Mail, that it's almost a given that I need to top-up the battery while on the go.
    Thanks.

    Hi asharom
    As long as you use Nokia in-car charger and perhaps avoid connection when starter motor is being cranked, I can't really see a problem. Personally I have been using Nokia CK-300 which has an integral phone charging lead.

  • Can I use the ipad2 cable to synch my iPod touch

    Thanks..

    Yes.
    All iOS devices use the same 30-pin Dock Connector for data transfer and charging, with the exception of the iPod shuffle and very old models of iPod (that haven't been around for seven or eight years)

  • Is there anyway to use the ipad2 as a bluetooth headset?

    Well that is my initial question.
    i have well searched the internet for the answer but haven't found anything really relevant to my search.
    i have a few tablets in my house for my kids, visitors, and for my wife and me. This question arose when i connected my iphone 4s to my hp touchpad.
    Webos has a feature to connect my phone to the touchpad and use it as a secondary dialer and receiver for phone calls as the tablet itself has a mic, and speakers. ( Basically for those who have used a bluetooth headset, hands-free receiver in car, it is just that).
    The neat feature of this is, when my kids are running around playing with my phone, or my phone is lost somewhere in the house or in my jacket, the tablet can be connected to the phone wherever it is in the house, and still receive the calls from my tablet.
    Now for the people who will ask, why are you going to put a tablet to your face. No that is not the case. it's like using your bluetooth receiver in your car. i will listen through the speakers and speak to the mic of the hp touchpad. like a speaker phone. *i know for a fact that tablets in korea are made to make and receive calls just like a phone, But america just wants to limit everything for their people. you may really think how stupid is it to use a tablet as a phone but it really isn't. like i said before they either use a headset or use it like a speaker phone.
    THIS comes VERY handy as while i am working on my car in my workshop, browsing the internet or looking through my FSM on my ipad, i can receive a call and not miss it. Sometimes i will miss the call because i am using my ipad2 to listen to pandora through my sound system and won't even hear my phone, or even my phone may be on vibrate.
    For my wife this feature is GREAT, while she is in the kitchen she was able to receive calls easily because she was using it to look through receipes. all she had to see is the number and hit the green call button when a call came with one touch. she didn't have to wash her hands, dry, and then reach for the phone. i mean she was saying that she wanted another touchpad just for this purpose alone. ( also for those who don't know the touchpad has crazy speakers )
    The hp touchpad does this and i am wondering WHY the ipad2 cannot. the BT tech is there.
    you may also ask, why not use the hp touchpad? ... that is for my kids, and all my info is on the ipad2. also down to earth the ipad2 cost me more.
    why not just use a speakerphone or a bluetooth headset? they are so annoying while you are working on your car. a speaker phone might be a good alternative but why buy something when it's something i may be able to do with my ipad2.
    so is there a solution? even in the jailbroken community? i am willing to do whatever it may take to accomplish this because then it might be a neat feature.
    so please i know this was long but i feel that there might be others who might want to use this type of feature.

    ok that is understandable and fully reasonable. but tech is tech. when one is made to do everything it can also be limited through the code.
    Would anyone be able to make or program something to override the code and just use it to send/receive through the hardware. like said the bluetooth tether feature was not doable but mywi was able to through jailbreaking.
    what i am asking is, would be it possible?
    ( edit: didn't read the part of the profiles. )
    profiles are not editable? ... or even replaceable?
    or is it really just too much work ?

  • Where can I find a useful "user guide" I can print for an ipad2

    Where can I find a useful "user guide" I can print for an ipad2

    Be green and don't print!  The iPad user's guide is in the bookmarks section of Safari.  But, because you'll be reading it in Safari, you have to be in a wifi area or using the 3G network.  However, you can download the .pdf and open it in the free iBooks reader.  Then you have it with you wherever you go and don't have to be on the internet to read it.
