Why is the charger so short?

I always wondered why the charger is so short... Can I buy a new longer one?

If it is genuine Apple it doesn't matter where you get it...only caveat is people having problems with third-party products so I always am carefull about what I buy. As Meg said, an ordinary extension cord can be used to plug into, but I like the firm attachment of the replacement power cord.

Why is the charging time on the new iPad so long? It is 3 times as long as iPad 2.

Why is the charging time on the new iPad so long? It is 3 times as long as iPad 2.

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 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, 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.

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.

Why is the charger so expensive to replace

So first, the tablet experia s is a wonderful tablet until you realize that because the charger is different than basically ANY OTHER tablet being sold, you'll be LUCKY to find a replacement charger under $40!
Now I wished I wouldn't have spent almost $450 for the tablet (2010) because now that I need to replace the charger, they want my right foot!

If it is genuine Apple it doesn't matter where you get it...only caveat is people having problems with third-party products so I always am carefull about what I buy. As Meg said, an ordinary extension cord can be used to plug into, but I like the firm attachment of the replacement power cord.

Why does the charge indicator never go away in iOS 7???

I think it is a HORRIBLE design in iOS 7! The charging icon NEVER goes out, even if your phone is completely charged!

I guess it's now a "connected to power" indicator instead of a "charging" indicator. I just look at the percent and how full the battery icon looks.

Why is the charger cord so short?

Besides cutting costs is there a logical reason behind a cord so short that I cannot set the phone on my desk which is directly next to the wall outlet.
Is there another option so I may use my iPhone at my desk or standing up while it is charging?
Thanks

As I stated above, it's an EXTENSION cord, not a longer dock cable (there is no longer dock cable available). You connect the male end of the USB extension cord to the AC adapter, and connect the male end of your 3' dock cable to the female end of the USB extension cord.
Or, just get an AC extension cord. Or a powered USB hub for your desk. Or, just unplug the iPhone - it has a battery. Or, use a Bluetooth headset (which is what I do) - then you can get up and walk around.
So many options...

Why are the videos so short?

I have been trying to send videos on my q10 and the maximum length comes up as 5 seconds . I want to know what the maximum is and if I can make it longer. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Okay I believe the current limit for BBM is around 6Mb.
If the two phones are in the same location then try using NFC.
If not then the other options are to email or perhaps use a shared cloud storage transfer.

TA44551 The charger cable doesn't go in the iPod

Why is the charger cable thing not going in the iPod touch

What is the "charger cable thing"? Is that the USB docking cable?
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA591G/B
It connects to the bottom of the iPod touch.

Why did you change the ipad to that crappy lightning cord.it does not stay plugged in to ipad to use it on ac power the cords short and overheat damaging the charger units. please change back to the old style.in this case newer is definately not better

anyone else think the lightning cord as a piece of garbage

I agree. It's much better than the old one.
If your have a problem with something overheating, that's not normal. You should take the charger, cable and iPad to the nearest Apple Store. Is the charger an Apple charger or a third party one? Many of the third party chargers are badly made.

Why is my iPod Touch 4G switching the charging symbol?

My iPod touch 4g is about a year and 4 months old on the fourteenth of June. My original apple charger was breaking and it couldn't change the iPod normally because it kept flashing back and forth on the charging symbol. One minute it would saying charging and the next it wouldn't be charging but it's plugged in. So I got rid of that charger a few days ago. Now I have a charger that's new never has been used. It fits my iPod and everything but it is starting to do the same thing as before. Last night I noticed it kept switching every second to the charging icon to the regular battery icon while it was plugged in. I'm starting to think it is my iPod but this has never happened before until I started charging on my mothers laptop. I'm not allowed to charge on my betters Xbox 360 because it supposedly lags the games. Whatever. I just need to know why does it keep switching and not charging and how can I fix it so it can charge while its plugged in. Thank you!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You are NOT addressing Apple here at all.
We are all itunes users like you.
There is no phone number to call.
You let your daughter play with your iphone and continue to buy and you think it is somehow Apples fault?
You can set the restrictions that will stop anyone from making these purchases. You have obviously failed to do this. This is your fault. Not Apples.

Why does my mac wake up from sleep while it is closed when I plug in the charger and viceversa (plug or unplug)?? It is latest 13 Pro with disk drive 2012-2013

I dont know why it happens. I clos my mac, it goes to sleep and when it is already sleeping if i plug the charger then it wakes up, or at least the fans and the white led light near to the infrared thing turns on. And this also happens if it is sleeping with the charger plugged and whenever i want to quit the plug cause its already charged it turns on. All this happens with the lid (top cover) closed and only when it is sleeping and I unplug when it is pluged, or plug if it is not. I have some more Macbook pro olders 2010, and 2009-8 with 10.9.2, and this thing does not happen to them. Please if someone knows tell me??? If it is not clear is the Macbook Pro 13 with 3.0 usb, disk drive, the latest that apple announced with the disk drive, so i think it is late 2012 or 2013

There are two distinct sets of settings for Energy-Saver items -- one for Battery, one for Power Adapter.
When you plug in the adapter, it needs to wake up and change over to the other settings -- sort of like the hospital waking you up to be sure you get your sleeping pill.
The later versions of Power Management are more sophisticated than older versions, so they are more likely to do this "correctly" -- to wake up and change over.

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Why do the "SAVE", "SAVE AS" and "UNDO" functions of InDesign CS6 stop working after a short time?

Normally they don't. You might have some sort of problem on your system, possibly a conflict with other software, or corrupt ID prefs or application. Trashing the prefs is easy, and good place to start: Replace Your Preferences
It will help if you tell us the OS version, whther you've installed the 8.0.1 patch, and how you are trying to access the commands, and what happens when you do. Is this isolated to one file, or does it happen with all files?
