can i connect this device to a wall plug and charge my iPhone/apple products or does it have to be connected to a computer to charge my apple products

I think I have your answer. This one only charges from a USB source. I believe what you are looking for is this 7 port hub. It has a barrel jack on the end, which I believe is for use without a USB source. http://www.amazon.com/7-port-Speed-Sharing-Switch-Laptop/dp/B009Z7P072/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1424315323&sr;=8-1&keywords;=7+port+high+speed+usb+hub

I just tried out both methods, and neither of them were able to charge any of my usb devices. This is mainly to create more usb ports for your computer

Yes in fact you can use it as a charging port for your devices. I went on a road trip and used it to charge multiple devices simultaneously. It does not matter if the devices are Apple or not, they their own charger but the other end is a regular usb plug.

No, it doesn't charge Apple products. There is a note in the product description indicating that the product will sync an apple product with a computer but will not charge them. The same hub but 3.0 instead of 2.0 appears to charge Apple products though. (I have tried both for this.)

Yes. You can connect this to a wall charger with a USB connector like any Apple wall charger and charge your iPad/iPhone. It will work with any other devices as well as long as the source into which the hub is connected has the power to charge your devices.

It does not plug into anything but the usb port on your computer. It runs on the computer power and does not have outlet capabilities. You could charge your apple stuff with it but I think it would be a slow process.

I misunderstood what you were saying. I am assuming you want to plug it into a usb capable plug in. I think it would work. I have never tried that. Might be interesting to see if it works in my car like that.

This is a UN-powered USB hub and is intended for devices which do not draw more than minute amounts of power from the USB port such as printers, thumbdrives, memory card readers. USB 2.0 specs state the maximum power to be drawn off a USB port is 500mA (0.5 Amps). A typical smartphone charger provides twice as much power -- 1000mA (1.0 Amp). Tablet chargers provide even more -- 1.8A to 2.1A.If you want to charge a phone, tablet, portable battery pack, or power a USB-powered device, you need to get a POWERED USB hub. The easiest way to identify one is that it comes with an AC power adapter which must be plugged-into the USB hub.

This one doesn't connect to the wall plug unless your wall plug has an USB port! Do you know what is USB port? If your wall plug has that USB port, you are fine!

No! This is a simple USB hub. It may not even provide enough power to charge a device connected through it. Connect your chargeable devices to your computer directly or use an external charger. I found that the Kindle charger works for my MP3 player but you use it at your own risk.

You will need a Power-Adapter-Wall-Charger which you can purchase from amazon for about $7.00. If you have an iphone, ipad or ipod, you can use the charger from any of those.

It comes with a USB cable, which if you have a USB to 110 Ac adapter (ie iPhone charger), yes you can charge it from a wall outlet, but not without an adapter

No, it doesn't have to be charged via a computer. You can charge it via a wall outlet just as you would charge your cellular device. Just plug the provided cord into the charging decvice and then into an actual wall charger.

The unit comes with a chord that will attach to usb. I use my iphone usb plug to charge it from the wall outlet.

Yes, you can charge USB devices. (My son charges his iPhone.) It doesn't matter that it's not plugged into a computer.

It will charge the Iphone and IPod. I know for sure. But I do not know if you can charge it with an Apple laptop power supply. Sorry I could not be more help. Clint

Just like you would charge any other electronic device. But it doesn't come with a wall plug adapter. But if you have a regular smart phone wall plug, that should work or use the cord it comes with and charge either it with that via computer or get a wall usb adapter.

The charger comes with a USB/micro USB cable to charge the device. If you are going to charge an iPhone you will need to use the iPhone cable.

USB. Although if you're like me, you already have plenty of adapters that take a USB and let you plug them into the wall. If not, Amazon sells plenty of em -- something like this would be more than sufficient: http://www.amazon.com/iFlash-Ports-Charger-Apple-iPhone/dp/B0080XGJPY

Wall plug. If traveling outside of US, you will need an adaptor for plug. One note of caution: it doesn't work for Apple iPhone 5.

It has a micro connector to usb cord that needs a wall adapter but it will work with most wall adapters to charge. we use our iphone wall charger and it works fine.

Although I haven't tried this, I believe so. I just plug mine into my charge block for my iPhone or other block that has a USB port. There are also Software upgrades for the device that I know you need to connect to your computer in order to upgrade the device for new features as they come out.

No. The device itself has to be plugged into a wall outlet. But it is great if you need to charge more than two devices.

I charged mine with an outlet...not computer..took a couple hours. And I only used it until I could get my phone or iPad to a regular charger

Yes you can power this through a wall socket. You need a USB adaptor (same as IPhone). Output is on back.

You can only charge the device via use, so if you have cable that from one side will get the usb of the device (female usb) and from the other side you can plug it to the wall - problem solved
