[/quote]You should be careful with this adapters. It is highly recommended to use the charger designed by creative to work with the ZEN. You can use generic charger but the risk of damaging your device is always there. Any charger can potentially damage your device if not within the standards (quality and the output specs) the device can handle. Just an FYI.

  • Cheap lightning to 30pin adapter for charging only?

    I don't really care about the A2D chips for analog audio, I just want to use my many 30pin charging cables to charge my iPhone 5 around the house.  Does anyone make a cheaper lightning to 30pin adapter for charging purposes only?  Is this even possible?

  • IPhone adapter for charging iPad mini

    If I use iPhone 4S adapter for charging my iPad mini, will it be able to cause damages to my iPad battery?

    The iPad Mini is shipped with the same charging adapter as the iPhone 4s.  You'll just need to attach the lightning/USB cable that came with the iPad Mini.  There will be no problems or issues with the iPad Mini.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    You can charge the nano with both the USB or FireWire power adaptor. It also charges when plugged in a FireWire port.

    Something to do with the cable being an older firewire legacy connector and the iPhone needing a newer USB.

  • The wall adapter for the palm pre charger

    can the wall adapter for charging the palm pre also be used with an ipod touch charge cord? both are usb ends that can plug into the wall adapter

    Standard warning label caveat: You CAN use these chargers interchangeably as long as both devices use micro USB technology, and not mini USB. (Basically don't force the charger in the charging port.) However, it is recommended that you only use chargers and equipment designed for and that came with your device.

  • USB Wall Adapter for UK

    Hi, i was just wondering if you can buy the wall adapter for charging yor iPOD which is compatible in the United Kingdom from apple store online or will i have to see an apple dealer here in the UK?
    Can anyone help?
    Cheers,
    Hywel

    Well, I have exactly the same model USB wall charger and a 2G touch running 3.0; everything still works exactly as it did before the upgrade. I guess that means we can't blame 3.0.
    but that's not to say I'm a special little snowflake.
    Maybe you ARE
    Let's see if anyone else has a suggestion (other than bringing it back to an Apple Store for exchange).

  • Does the adapter for my iPhone 5 allow me to play music on my old docking stations?

    I have had my 5 for awhile now, and have been using the adapter for charging purposes.  However, I just recently tried plugging it into a music dock and can't seem to get it to work.  Does the adaptor allow me to use my old accessories, or is Apple making me buy all new equipment?  What about car hookups?

    If you are refering to an Apple (genuine ) adapter then I use several ,in car
    and where the device has a 30 pin plug (as in Bose sound Docks ) also.
    Not had any problems or issues at all
    BUT I have only used the genuine Apple product  both the standard and the 0.2m version

  • Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country.

    Can I charge my iPad mini and/or my iPhone 4S from 220 volt outlets using just the correct plug adapter for the country, without a power converter?

    Not staff or owner by a long shot.
    I just know that anecdotally I have seen people reporting issues with their mini's charging. Is there a real issue or not? I don't know. Not a day goes by that a person doesn't post here complaining that their iPad won't charge and it turns out that they're trying to do it via USB or with the iPhone block.
    But while there are a lot of user fixes sometimes it's good to have the pros take a look at things,and at the very least document that there has been an issue.
    the four main reasons an iPad won't charge (beyond being plugged into a USB port)
    Bad cable
    bad outlet
    bad brick
    rule those out and it leaves issue with the iPad.

  • Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

    Can I plug in my 110v iPad second gen. charger into 220v charger. I have an adapter for this outlet. Thanks!

    FOr this and anything, read the fine print on the charger. It should say that it takes an input of 100 - 240v. That means all it needs is an adapter. If it doesn't have that number range then don't plug it in. (like stedman says, official apple chargers are rated for world wide power)

  • What adapter do I need to use for charging my iPad in Greece?

    what adapter do I need to use for charging my iPad in Greece?

    The iPad charger can be used in any country.

    You only need a plug adapter to suit the wall socket.
