It is safe for me to charge my macbook pro with my ipad adapter connected to my macbook pro charger?

I use a Malaysian adapter for my iPad 1G and connect with my Australian Macbook Pro 13 to charge and I find it heating up quickly. Is it safe? They are both official Apple products non of them are fake chargers and adapters.

It heats up and the battery runs down fast when the computer is working hard.  The harder it works, the hotter it gets, and the faster the battery runs down.  How it was charged should make no difference.  Have you recently changed the way you use it?  Have you started encoding video, or using Boinc?

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

    Yes, you can. Same goes for the iPhone chargers. They're all interchangeable, since they've got the same connectors.

  • 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.

    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • Safe for 2600 XT to be installed along with 4870?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a 2008 3.0Ghz 8-core mac pro with both the ATI Radeon 2600 XT and the PC flashed ATI Radeon 4870 HD. My question: Is it safe to have both installed? Both are running off the PCIe 2.0 bus inside my computer, while the usb 2.0 card from sonnet is running off the 1.1 PCIe port.
    I do notice that the 4870 is very warm in the back, while the 2600 XT isn't even being used, though its connected to the logic board.

    It's safe. You would need to connect a monitor to the 2600 for it to be used otherwise it's just taking up space and power. The 4870 will be warm as it uses a lot of power compared to the 2600.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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 (2.5W, 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

    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.

  • Charging MacBook Air with older power adapter.

    I have just bought MacBook Air. I still own the MacBook Pro 15' dated 2006. Can I use MacBook Pro's power adapter to charge safely MacBook Air?

    Power adapters for Intel-based Apple portables are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple portable, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.
    For instance If you have a MacBook (13-inch Late 2009) that normally uses a 60W adapter, you can also use an 85W adapter with that computer. You would not use a 45W adapter with that computer; it would not provide enough power for that MacBook. Using an adapter of higher wattage than the adapter that came with the computer will not cause the computer to charge more quickly or otherwise operate any differently than using the adapter that came with the computer.

  • Is it ok to charge my iPhone 6 with my iPad charger

    Is it ok to charge my iPhone 6 using my iPad charger

    i do understand that, but frankly speaking, it takes approximately 3-4 hours to completely charge my phone from 1% to 100% (with 1A charger)
    Comparatively, it would take less than one hour to top up my battery with 2.1A charger.
    Hence, just thinking to myself that, "why didn't apple come with the 2.1A charger at the first place?"

  • Mac Book Pro 17" 85W Power Adapter too Hot to handle while charging/using

    Hello All,
    I bought a Mac Book Pro 17". What's up with my Power Adapter when I am using the computer at the same time charging it. The Power Adapter gets so hot that it is too hot to handle...very very hot! Is this normal ?
    Any advise is most welcome on the matter.
    Mac Book Pro 17"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Simple answer, no its not normal
    The adapter should get warm, but not hot
    The first thing i'd do is try it in a different power socket
    If it still heats up like you say regardless of where you plug it in, then its a fault in the adapter
    return it to apple or an apple reseller and get another one
    i wouldn't use it any more as it could be dangerous to your computer and become a fire hazzard

  • Is it safe to charge an iPhone 5S with an iPad 12 W Apple Charger ?

    Hello,
    I want to purchase an extra DC Charger to charge both my Ipad 4th gen and my iPhone 5S.
    Is it safe to use a 12W Apple Charger for both device ?
    Thanks.

    According to Apple Store page, it also charges iPhone and all iPod models.
    And I use the charger that came with iPad for my iPhone 5 and iPhone 5s all the time and nothing happened, so I think it is safe to use 12W Charger for both devices.
