I can't get this device to charge my iphone and ipods when I use the AC adapter. Any ideas?

This hub meets the USB 2.0 standard of 5VDC at 0.5 amps maximum per port. Apparently some Apple devices require more current than this.

does 'any device' connected to it work at all? If not then, either adapter is bad or one of the ports is bad.

It works for me so once the unit is charging and your devices are charging from the unit, try pressing the little button on the side. If that doesn't work, then you may have a defective unit.

I've tried to use it with my iPad and my iPhone. And for what ever reason I can only charge one device at a time even though there are 4 ports. And that's using it in the U.S.

I have tried to use this to charge both an iPad2 and my iPhone 4s. It has not worked. The indicator on the iPhone shows that it should be charging, but after several hours I have not seen any charge on the phone. The iPad never showed that it was charging.

I've tried charging mine with normal microUSB because I thought I'd gotten a bad AC adapter and the normal microUSB's won't register as charging and didn't seem to raise the power at all. Luckily for me, it turned out the AC adapter just has an odd proprietary plug that needed to be pushed slightly harder to click into place the first time, so I'm able to charge, but yeah, it was a bit of a disappointment to realize that it can't charge off of the same USB stuff all my other electronics use.

I hooked up my iphone and had it plugged into the wall. It did not charge. Then I hooked up my HTC Flyer and Iphone and the unit turned itself off. Don't try it. The power supply only shows 2 amps which is just enough for one phone.

Hello A Miller, unfortunately I had connected my brand new "iPad Air" into this awesome device (Anker USB HUB) to charge it. Let me brake it down for you. Apparently it seems that this device will not support enough power to charge such a device (iPad Air). Please note that I tried this while both (PC + USB HUB Power Adapter) were connected to the Anker HUB, and never displayed a message that it would be charging (on my iPad Air). Realize this, I am testing this with an "iPad Air". Just another thing. It will NOT charge any device if is not plugged in to a PC, and the PC is turned off. Don't know why, but it seems that it runs on some sort of activation mode from PC detection. Hope this helps. "My own personal experience"

Found a reasonable solution to the problem. I bought a dock extender cable (see product link below)that seems to have solved the charging problem while connected to the speaker system. Music plays and the iphone charges. All is good.30 Pin Dock Extender Cable-50 cm in White

You can find an adapter to play your new iPhone or iPod but it will not charge at same time

I have no answer since I had no problem. The charger worked with my new iPhone and my iPad. I have only used it one time.

I experience this problem when using a newer iPad with the Lightning adapter. Sound will only play using the older iPads with the 30-pin plug.

I just bought this for my 13 year old daughter and can't get it to play her iPhone 4. Is there a trick to it? When the iPhone is plugged in I can see that it is charging but there's no sound at all.

I used my IPhone USB adapter. It's 10w, 50-60 Hz, output 5.1v. Hope that helps.

The one you have must be defective. Mine will recharge my iPad, iPhone 5, and MIFI, with ample charge still showing by two indicator LEDsHopefully, you are still within the 30 days return policy for a replacementGood luckCurt

Mine worked out the box charging I phones and I pods , I haven't tried it with anything else . What are you trying to charge with the USB cable ?

I have an iPhone 5 and have no problems with my outlets. I have 3 of them in my house. Maybe it's the cord or iPhone itself.

Are you using the Apple supplied lightning cable? I had that issue charging a iphone 6 with a third party cable.
