Newbie question   --  charging cable same as for ITouch ??

I bet this is a no brainer --- but: Is the charging (and Sync) cable the same for the iPhone 4 as for the old iTouch Ipod ??
Also, is the charger that I use for my old iTouch the same as for the new iPhone 4, e.g. can i use it as well as the charger socket that came with the phone??
On the other hand -- I have had NO, I mean zero, problems with my iPhone 4 ... no dropped calls, no death grip, no proximity detector problems, no yellow spot on the screen... Mark me down as a very satisfied customer.

Thanks... just making sure... I once burned out a mother board on a computer by plugging into a "different" charger --- so, I am a bit hesitant...
But -- both iPhone and iTouch chargers really just USB connections and therefore equivalent makes sense..

  • I've brought a charger cable from tesco for my Iphone 3gs. 3 weeks later it stopped working completely with no notification. I tried with my computer but nothing seemed to happen when I plug my phone in. Help!

    Where should I buy legitimate charger cable? Is my cable third party as I brought it from Tesco?

    If it is an Apple cable it should have come in a white Apple box with an Apple label. If it didn't it is not an Apple cable. You can buy Apple cables at any Apple store or Apple's online store. There are also high quality cables from some of Apple's business partners such as Griffin.
    For a 3GS most cables should work, Apple or not. This is not true for the iPhone 5 and later. So the problem may not be the cable; inspect the connector on the bottom of the phone; if it is full of lint, dirt or moisture try cleaning it. Also look for bent pins.

    Hello and thank you for using the Palm Help Forums!
    It's more like naming the partnership. By "naming" your device is doesn't do anything harmful. If you name it Pat's Treo, when syncing it tot he computer, hotsync will say "Syncing with Pat's Treo." You can name your device Fido for all it matters.

  • Can you use the same charging cable for both an iPhone and an IPad or are they different?  When I use the charging cable for my iPhone on my Ipad, it doesn't charge.

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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.

  • My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now won't turn on or even charge. Any ideas?

    My ipad identifies my charging cable as not recognized, although it was bought at the same store, at the same time as the ipad. It charged for awhile, but now the ipad won't turn on or even charge. I still have all the packaging and receipt as proof. Any ideas why? Purchase was over a year  ago, so I can't get Apple help on the phone.

    Try moving and wiggle the devise  if that works the port or the tip of the charger is Brocken if the wire is an apple chatter made by Apple it should not I give your problems I've it in a forren ore different manufacturer that could be the problem apple suggest all apples devises should all ways charges and sync with an apple manufactured charger for the best proformance don't try other doggy chargers made from other manufactures.
    Hope this works

  • My iPod won't charge on a wall charger, only on the computer. I used the same cord for both though. I used to be able to charge it with a wall charger, but now suddenly I can't. I've even used other wall pieces. Nothing seems to work.

    My iPod will no longer charge with a wall charger, only the computer. I know it's not becuase of the wall piece or my cord, since I also use the same cord for computer charging, and the wall piece seems to work with others devices. It worked a couple of weeks ago, then suddenly quit. I think it may be something to do with the inside of my iPod where the charger goes. I find it really inconvient to always have to use the computer to charge my iPod. I believe I have a three year warrenty on my iPod, but I wouldn't think it would cover this problem. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the wall charger
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If you have a three-year warrany it is not from Apple. The standare Apple warrantyis 1 year and y can purchas an extended warranty that give y a total of two years. You can check your Apple warranty coverage hee:

  • If my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    if my charging cable doesn't work do i get a new for free

    I had a lightning cable, that came with my iPhone 5s, that frayed and broke at the connector.  I took the cable and phone into the Apple Store and they exchanged the cable for a new one with not a question asked.  Good experience.
    I think part of it is that the design of the Apple cables is quite flimsy especially at the connector and I think they see a lot of them fail.

  • What kind of replacement charger cable do I need for my Acer Tab 8 A1-850?

    I have a brand new Acer Tab 8 A1-850 (which is so far working quite nicely) but the USB charger cable was accidentally ruined after an unfortunate encounter with hot candle wax. I'd like to buy a replacement cable but know not all micro USB cables are the same. What specs should I be on the lookout for when shopping for a cable of appropriate size?

    The cable should be just the normal one, the special smarts that tell the tablet to charge at full speed is in the power brick.

    The cable that came with it is covered under the same warranty as the phone. Why have you been buying them?

  • I dropped my iPad mini on the floor, but it was not at all a big drop and landed firmly but the lightning cable inside my iPad cracked and from now on I have been using my sisters iPad charger(the same as old one) and now it take 4 hours to charge 8% HELP

    I dropped my iPad mini on the floor, but it was not at all a big drop and landed firmly but the lightning cable inside my iPad cracked and from now on I have been using my sisters iPad charger(the same as old one) and now it take 4 hours to charge 8% HELP!!

    It sounds like the drop damage more then just the lightning adapter.
    I suggest you take it to Apple and ask them to check it out for you.

  • Micro B charger cable for CK-100

    Hi,
    I have a CK-100 car kit and trying to find a replacement/upgrade charge cable (CA-134) with a USB micro B connector instead of the 2mm that is fitted.  The user/installation guide mentions that an alternative USB cable may be supplied but all searches have failed to find one.  The alternative is to make up a cable RJ45 at the CK end, I can buzz it out but does anyone have the pin out for the RJ45?  I've tried the CA-146 adapter and to be honest it's naff - it runs hot and the output is reduced to the point that whilst running my satnav app the phone will discharge faster than it can be charged, I've also tried the adapter on a standard car charger with the same results.

  • Easy Fix for frayed Yoga charger cable

    The charging cable for my Yoga started to fray (shielding metal mesh visible) right where it leaves the powerbrick after 6 months of light use. I used some sugru to repair it and can't recommend it highly enough. I have no affilation with them.
    Interestingly this area of the charger for the Yoga 2 has been redesigned.

    hi Jazza!
    the best explanation for this that i've seen is that there can be power drain problems in USB 2.0. drop below 500 mA running through the port and everything goes to pot. this may well explain why switching back to USB 1.1 sometimes works like a charm, and also explains why it's important to have the ipod plugged into a high powered USB port rather than a low power port.
    i've seen a confirmed case of a USB connection going west after a scanner got plugged into the beast in question ... periodically i see other reports along these lines, too.
