If i plugged an ipad into this, and used it with out the wall adapter, will it still charge the ipad from the computers power and transfer data?

Yes, if it performs properly. Mine has always been bad and the connection is on and off from one moment to the next.

Sure will Joey! However the HDE 13 must be connected to your computer and you must leave your computer on! Turning off Your computer turns off the port device!

Yup! The Power Supply has two plugs: One made for Apple Products (marked "A") and one not made for Apple Products (marked "NA"). The NA port does not charge the iPad, just maintains the power level. However, the NA port charges everything else. The A port charges an iPad really well. The charge seems to be a bit quicker than with the standard charger, but that might just be perception.

i recharge with a wall charger.. you get the cord with it and I just use the wall charger for the ipad to plug into...

No way this is going to charge the iPad. Even the 5W iPhone charger (which is more power than standard USB) won't charge iPad.

Yes, you can.This is exactly the same as connecting it to any other power source using a usb cable: for example, if you connected the iPad to the charging block plugged into an electrical outlet. You could continue your use of the iPad without interruption in either case.

That's a great question...I'm sorry, I and my family members don't have ipads, so I can't test it out for you and give you an answer for sure. however, the instruction sheet says that it does well in charging Apple items and it did well charging my non-Apple items. If you get it, you just have to be sure and use the right port for whatever your charging; one port is for Apple products and one port is for non-Apple products. I imagine it should work fine as long as you get it plugged into the right port. :)

Well, yes, using the proper cable to the iPad, it will supply power to your device. I don't believe it will fully recharge your iPad, but will certainly extend it's usability.

The hub has one high output power port on the side, that uses the AC adapter. The other 3 ports seem to run power through the main line without the AC adapter. How much power are you going to need to run you Hard drive, I don't know. I do know that my iPad only will charge with the power plugged in and it hooked into the high output port.

The second USB connector used on this Reader/Writer does not transmit/receive data, it is used for power only and is required. There is, however, provision for an external power adapter. You could also presumably connect the "power" USB connector to an external adapter/charger you may already have (like those supplied with some cameras and phones, which plug into the wall and have a USB jack). If you decide to try the external USB wall plug-in gizmo, be aware that there seem to be two power out put ratings for those things: 0.5 an 1 watt. For example the iPhone charges on .5, while the iPad requires a 1W adapter. So, if it doesn't work with the .5 W, try one with the higher output rating.

yes, IF you are connected via usb to a AC outlet........njot to the computer. The charger for a iphone/ipad works great.

Yes, it does. It works with any USB powered device rated 5VDC, up to 2.1A. There are 2 USB outputs: one is rated 2.1A and one is rated 1A. Use either one to output to charge the iPhone, but you need to use the 2.1A output to charge the ipad.

The humidifier works with a USB outlet on a computer. Most wall chargers for iPads have 2.1A outlet power, which is more than the power from a computer. So it should work with a iPad wall charger.

Short answer is, I don't know for sure. I recently tried bringing just my USB cables for my iPad and iPhone, and with both plugged into the USB ports, had bad luck. In the last few days, I tried the same thing, but with my iPhone plugged in to a USB, my iPad plugged into one A/C outlet and my laptop plugged into another A/C outlet and everything seemed to charge normally. So, part of my goal was leaving behind the iPad cube, but I think I still need it.

Yes, just with the USB Cable provided, not the IPads cable, but using the charging block will work fine.

I use it plugged in at the wall. I dont know about the ipad since I dont have one

No, it probably will not charge. I have a 3rd generation iPad that I bought it to use with my speaker dock and it will transfer the audio, but it will not charge the iPad.

Charge Yes, Sync no. It will sync with iPad on the other ports but not the charging port.
