it is not used to charge other devices. it only receives charges from usb or wall charger.

No, power goes into the unit, not out of it. The "USB input" on this device is for power only, it is "micro-usb."

It does have a USB port, but it is one of the small newer one (micro USB?) and is used to charge the battery in the unit It never occurred to me that it might also be a source of power for other units. I am curious to see if someone responds who does know.

I had no luck using it to charge iPhones. If memory serves, it's output is inadequate.

No, you can't, unless you have an iPhone charge cord and can plug it in to the USB port of the MyCharge device.

I tried with the iPhone charger, and it did NOT charge the Flip. Also a car charger made for the iPhone did not charge it. I assume it is the same for an iPod charger....Once I got home from a mini weekend vacation, I hooked the dead Flip into the Mac's USB and it charged it halfway in less than 30 minutes. I could have used a laptop or the power charger during the vacation as it died in less than 2 hours.

This uses standard USB 5 V/ 1 A conversion. You'll need to have an iPhone that accepts a USB cable. I'm sure Apple makes a USB cable. So, it will work.

As others have said, this does not convert voltage. However you should check your electronics' power adapter labels because many consumer electronics like iPhones and MacBooks have a charger that does the conversion. On the other hand an iPhone can be charged using one of the USB outputs, so no worries there.

Should not be a problem to connect the iPhone cable to the USB port. We are using it now in Costa Rica. Be aware that the device is rigid and it would be a bit awkward to strap open onto a backpack if that is what you are planing to do while you walk. If you are planning to hang it out of your pack try net zero with a larger battery capacity to accommodate a gps or iPad

Apple (Iphone etc) products have their own connectors. This item has micro usb which iphones dont use - they have proprietary connector. I'd check for an adapter or return this and get an apple brand charger. sorry!

Yup, you can plug it into just about anything that has an auxiliary jack (headphone jack) the only problem is the power supply is through a USB chord which means you have to also have it plugged into a computer or if you have a USB wall converter such as the one that comes with iphone than that works as well

You can use your iPhone cord to connect to the powerocks battery. I have an iPhone 4 & that's what I do.

If I remember correctly you can charge your flip from your computer. I got a better charge and faster by using this. I also don't travel with a computer so needed this traveling at Christmas to be sure I stayed charged.

I just bought a new Flip MinoHD and for the life I me, I can't seem to plug it in to either of the USB ports on my MacBook Pro! I don't want to force it. Am I crazy or is the Flip's male connector smaller?

Only if you're away from a computer. You can plug the Flip directly into your computer USB port to charge. If you are not near your computer this power adapter plugs into an electrical outlet to recharge your Flip.

I can't give you an exact answer, but this power bank only has the usb ports, so I assume that if you have the usb cable, you may do so.

I believe so. It has connections for a regular USB or the miniUSB. I use it with my LG Optimus with the miniUSB but I think even the IPhones can be charged by plugging into any regular USB power source. AND BTW... Great power source! I always have it in my purse and it charges my phone in no time!

You have to reverse the USB cord and plug it into the opposite end of the battery pack. I then attached it to the plug that came with my Iphone and used a regular electrical outlet. You can also use your computer to recharge the unit. One note: it will not work with the Iphone 5. Apple changed the charging port.

Yes. I had the same problem. Do you know what I did? I returned this piece of crap and get a mophie power bank. They're worth the price, trust me!
