I was told at the Apple store not to use this cable for my iPad2 because it's not an Apple product &amp; could damage the charging port. Comments?

Well, I have charged my ipad with it several times since I got it and have had no trouble at all. I got one for my mother and she uses it all the time with no problems. I have used it with my iphone 4 as well. Not sure what the difference is supposed to be.

to be honest....& I work in the technology sector, I have no idea why the IOS version would make any difference, but the short answer is, I don't know. I will say this, I wouldn't recommend this or any other product Amazon sells of this kind of product, I've gone through 4 different brands of these now & all of them suck. I've not had one that lasted more than a couple uses. I'd be willing to pay MORE for one of these cables that actually worked for more than a couple uses.

It charges my ipad2 and I had. Similar issue with my iPad on other plug in units.

This is a "certified" cable, so you should have no problems using it on any compatible apple product. I updated my iPad4 to iOS7 yesterday and have had no issues with the cable. I love it.

I did not get that message. I bought mine to charge my iPhone 5s in it's life proof case. The iPhone 5s is notorious for not taking charges from a lot of non-Apple cords that are out there. I just plugged this cord into my iPad Air, and it seems to be working just fine.

I have had mine over a year now and have not had one problem and highly recommend it. I think that the not certified is that it's not an Apple approved device by Apple. Just like charging cables, I needed a longer cable so I bought some cheap ones off groupon, woot etc. and they all work fine at half the price or less.

actually mine came with the lightning cable connector I was really surprised. However I use it with my iPad (older connector) and iPhone 5. Thie iOS in the iPhone 5.0 knows their cable is not a genuine cable and will not charge with it, maybe with an older iOS it might but when I used a apple cable with it - it worked great on my iPhone.

love this unit for my ipad just ordered ipad2 so I will echo Patricia's question will this unit work for ipad 2, I imagine it will as it is set up for all units with this type charging port such as all the ipods, the iphones and the 1st gen ipad so hopefully will be ok if not will have to find a different dock for the ipad2

No because the Ipad2 doesnt have a HDMI Output. If you want to use this cable with the Ipad2 you need first buy a conversor from the Ipad2 Output (I dont remember the name of this particularly output) to HDMI.

This has a lighting charger connection and the iPad 2 has the 30 pin. It will not charge. Find the older model. That will work.

I did not have any problem at all. In fact, I sync'd with my older IPad 2 also and used it. I am really impressed with this item for the price, it works great and stays charged for a long time. I hope this helps you.

You are correct, my husband noticed his iPad wouldn't charge up when it was in one of the ports. I didn't notice when I ordered it, as I am not electrically savy.

do you mean iPAD 2? I used this on the iPad2 and it worked great for me. Be really careful, it breaks real easy by nature.

As long as the IPad 2 uses the lightning connector and not the 30 pin it should be fine. The cord is really thick and durable. It is not reversible like the apple cords are though or atleast mine isent. You have to try out both sides to see which charges it.

The charging has nothing to do with the cable (given it's Apple certified), but instead the AC/DC adapter being used (ie, what the USB end is plugged into). Note, there is a maximum your device will be able to utilize anyway, so eventually the larger AC/DC adapter will not improve the charge rate. This cable will charge at EXACTLY the same rate as the OEM cable, as it's specified as 24AWG which is sufficient to support the 2.2A of max current for an iPad without a appreciable drop over the 3 feet.EDIT: Edited to be more clear and accurate.

I tested it with an iPad 2. Apple charger, Apple cable. It does NOT charge with this extension.
