Which cable to charge my iPhone 3g in an airplane?

Hello,
I need to take the plane for a long trip (10 hours flight). Not sure how long the battery will last (in airplane mode).
Is there a cable I can use to recharge my iPhone 3G in a plane (like the one I have for my car)?
Which cable do you recommend me?
Regards,
Yves.

Any airline power adapter with a USB port will work, along with your dock cable. There are also adapters that work using power from the seat headphone port, so they don't require you to be in a seat with power (usually first/business class and select seats in coach).

Any good chargers or dual-use cables for charging an iPhone 4S (30-pin) and iPad 4 (lightning)?

Here is the situation:
A sick friend lies in bed most of the time and has her iPhone 4S (30-pin) charging cable connector within reach. She now also has an iPad 4 (lightning connector).
We are looking for a good charging solution which doesn't require multiple chargers or getting up and replacing the cable in the adapter.
We know we can use the same adapter for the iPad 4 and iPhone 4S, but the cable/connector is different.
Is there a good single cable with both kinds of connectors on the end?
Or would a connector adapter be easiest?
Or is there some cool charging unit which can do both at the same time?
Thanks,
Doug

Your only two choices, that I can think of, is to use an adapter. I have a third party one that I got at Office Depot that has micro USB on the end, with a lightning or 30 pin that I can swap out. And there are cables that are dual ended...as in the adapter is attached and can be plugged/unplugged but are still part of the cable.
For third party I'd suggest to stick to well known names, Targus, Zagg, Kensington, Belkin etc for your shopping. THose companies have most likely, gotten permission from Apple to make accessories.
The only other option I can think of is to use a longer extension cord to put the power block near your friend's bed, which will then allow her to plug in the appropriate cable to charge the appropriate device.

Can you use a nano cable to charge an Iphone

Im trying to charge my iphone with my nano cable. The phone is completely dead and it doesnt seem to be working. Any idea?

Deggie,
Apologies if I'm coming across picky, however I still believe that saying on a interational forum "NEVER use front USB" is rather bad advice.
It makes no mention of desktop/laptop for example. My work laptop, from a well known manufacturer using Windoze XP op sys has USB ports on the front. Someone searching this forum might come across this post, see the advice and take it.
I wouldn't like to speculate on the market share of pre-built machines vs custom built/gaming PCs. However if I was to use my family and friends for comparison, not one of them uses a factory built PC, they are all shop built, but from independent stores, custom built, with powered USB ports directly from the mainboard to the front of the case, I'm based in the UK but don't know whether that makes a difference.
I'm not having a go, I just like to be helpful and if anyone else comes across this problem, assuming the cable and iPhone are fine, then it seems one of the stages troubleshooting the problem would be to check that the particular USB port is powered, and if not sure, try the other ones. To say NEVER use it would be harsh, and confusing for users like me (if I didn't know better) that have neither front or rear usb ports (such as my macbook pro) or have front ports (such as my work laptop) that are powered and work a treat at charging my iPhone.

Can you use the iPod connector cable to charge the iPhone or

only the cable that came with the iPod?
Also, I put the iPhone briefly into my old inMotion speakers and a message
came up saying that the device didn't support an iPhone and would either not
charge my iPhone or have bad consequences for my iPhone-i wasn't sure-it did
work in the speakers tho.

I use an iPod connector almost all the time and have never had a problem, even after market iPod connectors, but you'll get a different response depending on who you talk to. The guy at the Genius Bar told me yes, but phone support said no. Short answer...You should be able to use the iPod connector.
When you plug the iPhone into some 3rd party devices, you'll get a message stating "not compatible with iPhone" but that is because you are going to get interference because of the cell signal. You can put it into Airplane mode to avoid the interference or just deal with the interference and just click OK. That being said, I have read other posts where these devices do cause damage to the iPhone so proceed at your own risk.

USB cable to charge my iPhone 4S in the USB port in my car?

Can I use the USB cable (that is part of my charger) to charge my iPhone 4S in the USB port in my car?

Check the car documentation ,some will support charging but many specifically will not supply a charging current
if not use a USB plug for the vehicle 12 v charge socket ( or lighter plug in old world )

Can I use a samsung galaxy cord to charge my Iphone?

I have a samsung galaxy and want to only carry 1 cord when I travel. Can I use the samsung USB cable to charge my Iphone? they look the same but I don't want to try if Someone is sure it will hurt my phone.

No, they do not look the same. Open your eyes and take a 2nd look.
The iPhone cable connects to the iPhone via Apple's proprietary dock connector.
The cable for the galaxy connects via an industry standard microUSB cable.

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
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.

Are you connecting your iPhone directly to your PC or to a USB hub?

Why is the charging cable not working on iPhone 6?

Hi guys,
I just bought a new iPhone 6 and i'm very happy with the phone itself. Natural upgrade from my old iphone 5. But i kinda feel ripped off by the following: I bought an official apple 2m lightning charger at an official apple seller about 6 months ago for about 30 euro (don't know the exact price). Worked perfectly with my iphone 5 and allowed me to use my phone in a better way while lying in bed. But when i try to charge my iPhone 6 with that charger it says that the asseccory isn't supported by the phone. It really ****** me off. Why is an official apple charger not supported on the iPhone 6?

Does the charger-cable that came with the iPhone 6 work properly, does the extra charger work correctly with other devices? If so, could be an issue with the extended cable matching the new iPhone. You could take it to an Apple Store Genius Bar and have the techs check it to see why it won't work with the new iPhone. Could be the resistance is too high for the new iPhone.

I am using iphone 5C when I use to data cable to charge it from my laptop I always get an error message saying 'Power Surge on hub port'. I am not able to charge my iphone

I am using iphone 5C when I use to data cable to charge it from my laptop I always get an error message saying 'Power Surge on hub port'. I am not able to charge my iphone at all. Please help

I have read that usb hubs usually have only 1 port at a high enough watts = volts x amps iPads need 10watt = 5v x 2 amps so when you use more devices it may share the power so I would buy a usb charger with 2+ amp ports if you want to just charge your devices the computer hub are not designed for that just communication
