Using a 9w charger for ipad air.

I left my apple charger at home but i have a 9w ac adapter here. Can i use it to charge my ipad air? Does it just charge it slower?

important part is 5V it will just charge slower ,hope it is of reputable manufacture not a no name cheapy
an Airpad is an expensive piece of kit for the price of a Charger
Unless you are confident of the quality of the other charger I would pick up a spare geniune Apple one

"Can I use charger 10w without any worreies(damage battery)?"
Yes you can.
"Is it possible to change in apple store with warranty?"
If you mean "can I get my power adapter replaced under warranty, at the Apple store?", yes.

Using the original charger, my ipad air says it is not certified and wont charge

using my original charger, my ipad air wont charge. it says the charger is not certified and may not work. it charges my iphone but wont work on the ipad

I've the same issue with my new Ipad Air and using the original charger.
It starts to charges then after a while it stops and issue the incompatible charger msg. Then I unplug and plug again and it starts charging again.
Know the trick thing is, I've exchange the chargers from my other IPad mini and none of the ipads gave any charging issue, they charged till full.
I see no logic on this.

Can i use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa

I have ipad 2 and i bought new ipad for my dad. Both ipads charge quickly with ipad2 charger as compare to new ipad charger.
So, my question is.. Is it okay to use new ipad charger for ipad 2 and vise versa...???

The iPad 1, iPad 2 and new iPad all use the same 10W charger.
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%.
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.

HT1665 lightening to 30-pin Adapter charges my Ipad Air VERY slowly; why is that?

I purchased an Apple, Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, to convert my current charger, to one that will charge my Ipad Air. When I try to charge my Ipad Air, using this Adapter, it does charge, but at a VERY slow pace! Is that normal, or is something wrong with it?

How slow is "VERY slow?"

Yes, you can. You can use the same charger for all iPods/iPhones except the 5th gen iPod, iPhone 5, and iPad mini

You can get apps for a Mac (and the iPs device) that allows you to use the iOS device as a webcam.
For a dedicated webcam:

I think you are asking if you can exchange your iPad 2 for the new version. the answer is no--Apple does not do trade-ins. But you could possibly sell your device by some other means.

4 amp charger for iPad 3

Hi !
Do you think a 4 amp charger for iPad 3 could speed up the charging time?
It's dangerous. Ipad support ?
Thank's

"Since the iPad only draws 1 amp(10watts) it may cause the capacitors the leak excess voltage. Conclusion A 4 amp chager may cause a voltage spike destroying the iPad. I would suggest using the adapter that came with the IPad."
no this is 100% wrong
it's 5volts and watt == volt * amps
so ipad draws 2 amps
and it's draws! not being feed
it draws the amps out of the charger as much as it require
if the charger is able to supply 4amps or 40MEGA amps dont mean anything at all
it's all down to ohms law
volt spikes have nothing to do with how much amp a device can supply

Are we supposed to purchase an anti-virus for iPad Air?

Are we supposed to purchase an anti-virus for iPad Air? Or is it secure without one.

Virus's - defined as a malicious program that propagates itself through the operating system - cannot run on an ipad due to its sandboxed operating system. You can still fall victim to phishing if you put your info in the wrong place or enter it in the wrong site. but, generally, any 'bad' activity on an iPad requires the user to initiate or do something first.
So while you can't get a virus you do have to be smart about how you use the internet and what you do with your device.

Why my pc don´t charge my ipad air???, why my pc don´t charge my ipad air???

i would like to know if is normal that I can charged my ipad air in my computer

If you mean when you have your iPad plugged into your computer and the screen is on the battery goes down, that's normal. THe USB puts out less power than the iPad is using, so your battery goes down.
Your iPad will trickle charge off the iPad if the screen is off and the computer remains on - not going to sleep. (since when it goes to sleep power is usually cut off to the ports)

Protective Screen/Microfiber cloths for iPad Air 2?...

So what cloth is best to use on my nekkid iPad Air 2?
This is iPad related... I am not super fond of the Zagg type microfiber cloths to clean my new iPad so I went to Office Depot to buy some more soft ones with thicker fibers and when I went home to rinse them with soap and water and found they leaked a bunch of Red dye. Do all microfiber cloths like this blead dye? http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/328506/Ativa-Microfiber-Cleaning-Cloths-Re d-Pack/
Or are there some white ones or something that would be better?
And if i put a small amount of water on the cloth will it dye my iPad's white bezel or screen? What is the best cloth to use for iPad Air 2?
Side Note: I chose not to get a protective glass or plastic cover as it hinders the screen and I have dealt with too many issues installing them in the past and having "professionals" intall them did not help. Several Apple store employees even recommended against them. And they were cool about how they told me they werent necessarry unless i'm a person always travelling or using my iPad roughly. It was 2 different dudes that suggested it too.
sorry this is a random and odd post with different questions,
But main questions are:,
1: Protive screen:..... Do I NEED one if I don't take my iPad anywhere but my room?
2: Screen Cloth:..... What kind of or where can I get a good thick microfiber cleaning cloth that won't bleed and will not scratch my iPad Air? (like will a White one work?)
Thanks so so much for any help.
K.

Microfiber cloths will vary widely depending on where you get them & the brand. I haven't really come across any color bleeding issues with the cloths I've used when they've been washed as they have all been light in color (3M white, 3M blue, various other brands green/yellow/orange).
One thing that is a big concern to me personally is the shedding of the microfiber fibers and/or dust from the cloth itself. One test I now use is to hold the cloth and hit the iPad/iDevice screen with a loose , heavy section of it repeatedly about 10 times (kind of like beating the dust out of a regular dust cloth against a hard surface). Some cloths will shed ALOT of fibres onto the screen and can be see after only one or two hits. These are the cloths I avoid since simply wiping the screen with it leaves tons of fibers & dust behind. And they will also tend to exhibit that same behavior even after being washed multiple times.
The best ones I've found are those made by 3M and some that are sold in AutoZone (yes, AutoZone).

How can you copy and transfer tracks between songs in Garageband for iPad air 2?s

I have just started with GarageBand for iPad air 2 and want to know more about copying tracks between songs and also saving and using samples between songs too. Anybody have any good links or advice? Thanks

This has nothing to do with Classic, the operating system on Macs from 2001 and earlier. Please post in the forums most likely to have an answer if you want a quick one:
