Safe to charge iPhone with Blackberry USB adapter?

I have the small wall-plug-to-USB adapter from my Blackberry that looks like the one below. Is it safe to use a standard Apple 30 pin + USB connecter (pictured below the Bberry connector) with it to charge my iPhone 4S? Otherwise I have to buy a second Apple-branded connector to have one at both home and work.

usb is 5volt ios devices can charge with anything that provide 5volts
if the charger don't follow the usb std and provide 50volts the phone will explode

  • Is it safe to charge iphone with HTC charger?

    I'm in travel now and I haven't access to my charger. is it safe to charge my iphone with HTC or sonyErricson charger. the cable connector is with me.

    Hey I have done this in person it works but only if you have a mophine iPhone battery case then you can use the htc charger on the case's mini USB port and it actually charges the case and the iPhone! The case only works for 4&4s devices.
    The above is a method I currently use, any other working methods would be nice to know as I also have this question.

  • While charging iphone with usb adapter supplied with the phone power line gets blown up ?

    While charging my IPHONE 4S with the USB adapter supplied along with iphone the power line gets blown up every time  and I am left only with the option to recharge through the USB port of my laptom.Any remedy?

    Have you tried other outlets? That may be an electrical problem in your house, worse case scenario. Try other USB wall adapters.

    Hello Lazyboy7,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are getting an error message from iTunes when trying to manually backup with your USB cord.
    I found this article to help troubleshoot what might be going on here:

  • Charge new iPad with iPod USB adapter 5V 1amp?

    Is there any problem to charge my new iPad with a USB iPod wall adapter with an output of 5V 1amp? And is it okay to do it daily? Will it affect in any way the battery?

    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
    http://www.macblend.com/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.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Ok to charge iPhone with iPod charger?

    I was looking at the specs on both:
    iPhone AC adapter: 5 volts @ 1 amp
    iPod (5th gen) AC adapter: 12 volts @ 1 amp
    Obviously considering the numbers don't match and the total power output is not the same (12 watts for ipod adapter and 5 watts for iPhone adapter), it is not good to charge the iPhone on the ipod adapter.
    But I was wondering, can the iPhone handle it? Has anybody tried it?
    Or do I have to keep charging the iPhone through the computer (I have no more outlets for the iPhone AC adapter to plug into)
    The reason I am asking is that the iPhone is taking a long time to charge through the USB port on the computer. I plugged in to charge this afternoon and it is only about 80% done. This is the first time I am charging it since I got it though so that might be the cause.
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    OK, I give up. Which is the right answer?

  • Safe to charge iPhone 4 from surge protector being powered by 1000w generator?

    Is it safe to charge my iPhone 4 from a generator (1000w) on an extension cord. My USB adapter is plugged into a surge protector from the generator.

    If it's a third-party accessory, nobody here can be 100% certain if it will work safely.
    The only way to find out is to try it yourself, but do so at your own risk.
    I would suggest looking online for reviews of your exact product to see what others say about the charger.

  • Is it safe to charge iPhone 5 in the car?

    I just got the new iPhone 5 in white!! And I'm wondering if it is safe to charge it in your car. I've had android Phones in the past that had major battery issues and sprint thought that maybe it stemmed from the fact that I would charge them in my car. Granted I also used really cheap car chargers In the past with those android phones. it seems like thats one product apple itself doesn't make, so I'm wondering if it would be safe, and what brand of charger would you recommend, if any at all, thanks! liz
    On another note, has anyone Experienced problems sending picture mail through MMS, mine just won't do it.

    likely they were just guessing
    when it comes to charging then the only! thing that matter is the volt level
    if one charge a device which was made to charge by 5volts with 12Volts it's big trouble
    nothing else can give issues

  • Charging iphone with ps3 super slim

    Will it cause any problems with my iphone to charge it with the god of war super slim ps3

    Use your computer to charge the phone if you're unsure...
    But for clarification, the iPhone will charge on any USB standard power (5V 1A)
    Apple won't support it if your phone erupts into a ball of fire unless you were using their charger.
    Also, remember this thing called time zones, the volunteers and other assorted experts on here are either working, sleeping or, studying. Be paitient to get answers.

  • Charge iPhone with iPod cable

    I was wondering if I could charge and sync my iPhone with my iPod cable, allowing me to leave one at work, and one at home. I just got the CDMA iPhone, and I have the 5th generation Video iPod 30GB. I heard that there is a difference with amps or power or something. I don't want to mess up either batteries. I heard that maybe you can charge but not sync. I have found a bunch of different answers. Thanks.

    The cables themselves are the same for the iPods, iPhones & the iPad. The power adapters may be different, but all of the USB cables are essentially the same.

  • RE: Charging 6500c with generic USB cable

    Hi All,
    I bought myself a micro usb adapter to plug into my generic usb cable charger I used to use to charge my older 6101 but it doesn't seem to be charging. It's connected OK as as the phone tells me that it's charging and the battery icon indicates so but the power level stays the same even after 2-3 hours plugged in!
    It worked OK with the 6101.
    Just wondering if anyone has this problem and a solution? Is the power output incompatible with the new micro usb connectors? Also tried this with a wall usb charger connected using the nokia usb connector cable with the same result.
    Apart from buuying a new micro usb charger specifically for the 6500c are there work around this? Don't want to throw away my old usb cables.
    Thanks.

    Hi nutt3r
    Apparently the only Nokia handsets that are able to charge via the CA-101 cable are the Nokia 6500, the Nokia 7900, and the Nokia 8800 Arte Edition.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • IPhone 3g ultracompact usb adapter and travel

    Hello all,
    I'll be travelling abroad for several months and I was wondering if the following is correct. I read the back of the Ultracompact Usb adapter that came with my iphone and it says that it will accept Input: 100 - 240v ~ 50/60hz. I know the U.S. uses 110v and Europe uses 220/230v. Am I right in assuming that provided I have an adapter for the plug, this will accept power from a European outlet without incident? Meaning, if I plug this is in Europe, it won't fry my iPhone 3G, correct?

    All iPod/iPhone adapters work overseas. I use them all the time, no need to worry.

  • Charging iPhone using iPad USB charger

  • Problem setting up connection with 2wire USB adapter (BT Home Network 1200)

    I keep on running into a brick wall setting up my internet connection on my newly purchased MacBook (I have never used a mac before, having used a PC for years). I am trying to set up my macbook as an additional computer on my BT Home Network 1200, and I have installed the drivers given on the 2wire CD, but even when I plug in the USB adapter, the Macbook does not seem to recognise it. The adapter looks something like this:
    Anyway, the instructions given in the BT Home Network PDF manual seem to suggest that it is relatively straightforward, and that it is simply a matter of clicking the apple menu, selecting "control panels", selecting "TCP/IP", and then in the "connect via" box, clicking on the pulldown menu and selecting 2Wire PC Port. However, I am using 10.4.9 and it seems to me that this guide must have been written for an outdated version of Mac OS X because none of these instructions seem to make sense or work in the context of my macbook. At the moment, it seems like I won't be able to get my macbook online. Could someone please help explain to me how to get around this?

    Any reference to 'Control Panels' will, indeed, be for Mac OS 9.x, the last version of which (9.2) was released in 2001.
    My advice would be to return it to BT and ask them for an ethernet-based modem, not a USB one.
    USB DSL modems have varying levels of support in Mac OS X ranging from poor to none. The fact that 2Wire doesn't include Mac OS X instructions implies that this model is at the lower end of that scale.
    By comparison, an ethernet-based modem will connect to your Mac via ethernet, have the option of sharing the connection with multiple machines, typically be faster, and has an almost 100% compatibility rate.

  • Issue with ide-usb adapter

    Hello... I'm trying to connect the hard drive from a G4 via an ide-usb adapter to my Intel Macbook, and the Macbook can't see the drive. I've used this adapter to read Windows HDs on Windows machines without any trouble, any ideas on what issues could be my problem? According to the adapter's literature it is Mac compatible.

    It's this one... http://inlandproduct.com/usb20toidesataadapterpartnumber08412.aspx
    Admittedly not the most high end product, but always worked flawlessly before. I tried it with the drive configured as master, as slave, and as cable select... nothing.
