TS2634 Can my iPad mini use the same 12 watt power adapter that the iPad uses?
The small one-inch square power adapter that came with the iPad mini no longer works. A Best Buy employee told me I should be using the larger 12 watt adapter that comes with the iPad. I don't want to damage my mini by using the wrong one. Help?
Absolutely no problem. The device will draw only as much energy as it can safely absorb. The 12W rating for the charger is maximum available power.
I've been using a 12W charger with my iPod for about a year now.

Is it possible to use old Apple Flat Panel Display (62 watt power adapter) with a MacBookPro 13" Mid-2012 laptop? Would like to use larger screen when working at home. I have a mini display port to VGA cable and have tried to hook up the old display but it seems not to work. When I try to activate the screen on the old display-- a window comes up in the MacBookPro and asks me if I want to shut down the computer. What little I have read it that the MacBookPro had Thunderbolt and the old display may not be compatible? Any assistance would be appreciated.

11.09.12 22:16:06,148 ClamXavSentry[286]: I will quarantine infected files
This doesn't have anything to do with your problem, but it will likely cause other issues with your e-mail.
Here's my standard recommendation concerting the use of A-V software to deal with potentially infected messages:
Never use ClamXav (or any other A-V software) to move (quarantine) or delete e-mail. It will corrupt the mailbox index which could cause loss of other e-mail and other issues with functions such as searching. It may also leave the original e-mail on your ISP's e-mail server and will be re-downloaded to your hard drive the next time you check for new mail.
So, if you choose to "Scan e-mail content for malware and phishing" in the General Preferences, make sure you do not elect to either Quarantine or Delete infected files.
When possibly infected e-mail files are found:
Right-click/Control-click on either the infection or file name in the ClamXav window.
Select "Reveal In Finder" from the pop-up menu.
When the window opens, double-click on the file to open the message in your e-mail client application.
Read the message and if you agree that it is junk/spam/phishing then use the e-mail client's delete button to delete it (this is especially important when the word "Heuristics" appears in the infection name).
If you disagree and choose to retain the message, return to ClamXav and choose "Exclude From Future Scans" from the pop-up menu.
If this is a g-mail account and those messages continue to show up after you have deleted them in the above manner, you may need to log in to webmail using your browser, go to the "All Mail" folder, find the message(s) and use the delete button there to permanently delete them from the server.
To fix the corrupted mailbox index(es), highlight each one that was corrupted and choose Rebuild from the appropriate menu. -
I have a 2010 vintage 13-inch MacBook Pro that has a 60 watt power adapter. I also have an older power adapter that is 65 watts. Is it okat to use the 65 watt with this MacBook Pro?
yes.
"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.

Yesterday, as usual was going to charge my iPad, it was at 1%. Well, I took my ipad charger (original Apple official, I want to clarify that as a first step, I'm using the brand products than Apple) and plugged into an outlet ... The ipad began loading the first two minutes , then I got a notification telling me that the iPad could not charge with the charger.
I was quite surprised by the announcement. I disconnected and reconnected it .... again, I received the same notification. Then I disconnected and tried it on another outlet ... anything, yet. then I tried it on another outlet and ipad started charging. but after a while I had the same notice, not paying attention to that. I left it charging and I removed roughly 25% that of fear for something to happen. also remembered that situation (made 2-3 months ago where the iPad was not charging but after waiting a while disconnected, reconnected it and loaded normally).
so I decided to wait to re-connect the iPad to the outlet. This time, I plugged it into the outlet (fully discharged) at night and expected to find it loaded in the morning. But my surprise is that it still is off, it did not load anything.
I Bought the iPad in December 2012. Do you think that my iPad is hurt?
What can I do? Ay recommendation?
Please, HELP ME!Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. You may also want to swap out the cable, just to confirm or rule out that it's bad.
If none of those fixes work, make the appointment at your apple store and have them check it out. -

I have no idea why it does that. I have it plugged into an extension chord if that helps.
Plug adapter directly into wall socket. If still problem, all components are covered by Warranty. Make Genius reservation and take iPhone, wall adapter, and Lightning USB cable to Apple for resolution.

Mini Ipod Stuck waiting for a Power adapter, which i never got.
I reset my MINI IPOD using the latest version of itunes, and at the end it asked me to plug the IPOD into the mains adapter. I never got a mains adapter with it. I have waited 3 days for the battery to run down and it hasnt. I have tried using the hold menu and Centre button, then the centre button and rewind when the apple logo appears. all i get it the picture asking for a mains adapter, which i dont have.
Is there another way? Or do i have to wait until the battery dies? or should i charge it on the USB for a couple of days?
help please.When updating or restoring some iPods via a usb connection, it needs to be plugged into power via the charger to complete the process, and this is why you see that icon displayed. It's also why older iPods that required this step were supplied with a power adaptor as standard.
You may be able to complete the process via a car charger, or via a powered firewire port on the computer (with the required 6 pin cable of course) if you have access to either of those. Or maybe visit an Apple store if one is nearby.
Or you can try this.

Other than that, your iPod cannot be used until you complete this process. -
The port has a small silver knob next to the pins that is preventing the adapter from connecting. I've never seen a port that looks like this and the tech specs say that the port should be a magsafe 2. Has anyone seen anything like this before? I've included a picture

HT1665 Can I use a 10 W USB power adapter from an IPad to charge an iPhone 5s.
I have 10 W. USB power adapter that I bought for my iPad. Can I plug my iPhone 5s into it to charge? I see that the adapter that comes with the 5s is listed at 5 watts.
volts are pushed amps are drawn
if a charger provide the 5volts ios devices were meant to be charged by it does not matter
if it can provide 1000 amps making it a 5000W device because of ohms law which state W = Amps * Volts -
IPad won't charge using 10W Power Adapter
The subject states it all.
My iPad displays the words "Not Charging" besides the battery bar even when charged by the 10W power adapter that came along with the iPad.
Used the same power adapter to charge my iPhone and there was no problem.
Charged the same iPad using the same 10W power adapter a few times before and there were no issues either.
Any ideas?
Message was edited by: WongjhHi,
Thank you for your suggestions.
I thought that my USB cable was faulty too at first. But after changing the USB cable and playing around with a few power adapters which did charge by iPhone, I guess the probability that the USB cables are faulty or that the problem lies with the power adapter seems rather low.
Changing power sockets didn't help.
By elimination, I suppose the only problem there can be should be with the iPad. My only concern is that it happened so sudden without me doing anything to the iPad (using it normally etc.)and how can I be sure it doesn't happen again in the future.
Pretty annoying.
*If I might add, plugging it in to the computer does not induce a response from iTunes (no detection).

Is the iPhone 5 5W Power Adapter the same as what came with previous iPhone models?
My rep at the AT&T store claims the new power adapter that comes with the iPhone 5 is of a higher wattage, and that using older power adapters would cause damage to the battery. No entirely sure if I believe him since there were a few other things he was incorrect on. Anyone else heard of this?
Looks exactly the same to me.
There is a new 12w iPad charger ,he is probably confused
The 5W is shown as supporting all iPhones and iPods from day one
