When I connect my iphone or ipad to the ports on the MAC keyboard, they wont charge. Will this adapter be powerful enough to charge and sync my device

Mine used to until I got the iPhone 6. I would no longer suggest the purchase of this one if you have the 6.

I've had my iPad & iPods synch through it with no problem. I've never paid attention to see if they were actually "charging" at the same time, but I think it says on the box that it's supposed to charge them as well.

Not sure if there's a problem with your keyboard ports or not, but I've plugged the Sabrent into my MacBook Air USB port and then plugged my phone into the Sabrent and the phone charges normally. I'd try it with the keyboard and if that doesn't work, plug the Sabrent directly into one of the other iMac USB ports.

No it will not work. The MacBook Air charges with a MagSafe power adapter not with a USB connection. This device only charges USB devices.

I am currently using this adapter on my 2013 MacBook Air which, according to Apple.com, only has a "Thunderbolt port (up to 10 Gbps)". I can attest that yes, it will work. Also, question 18 on this Apple support site is relevant: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5219

From: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1981786?tstart=0 Kenichi Watanabe This helped meRe: PS/2 USB Converter; Will it Work with iMac G3? Apr 19, 2009 9:44 PM (in response to Nihongoking123) Adapters that make USB keyboards work with PS/2 ports are simple and common; they are just wired to change the shape of the connector. The USB keyboard just needs to be designed so it can work with those older ports (through that adapter). However, for PS/2 keyboards that were made before USB ports, they are not designed to work with USB. So I don't think it will work unless you have a more complex adapter... one that may need a driver. If it needs a driver, you will probably not get Mac compatibility, because Macs never used PS/2 ports. The older Mac serial ports were called ADB ports, and to use an older Mac (non-USB) keyboard on a Mac USB port, you have to get a special (non-simple) adapter called the Griffin iMate. So you would need something equivalent to the the iMate, except for PS/2 keyboards, that works on a Mac (with maybe a need for a Mac driver). If would be far easier to get a USB keyboard and USB mouse. Generic ones cost less that $10 for each, which is probably less than the cost of a Griffin iMate -type device. However, using Google, I did find devices like this one that claims Mac compatibility. http://www.usbgear.com/USBTO_PS2CONVERTER/ This is obviously not a simple $5 adapter, but this one adapter does connect both the PS/2 mouse and keyboard to one USB port, which will save you a port (just like with a REAL Mac USB keyboard and mouse). Various including Intel iMac, Power Mac G5, Pismo w/G4, Power Mac 8100 w/G3, Mac OS X (10.5.6), also Mac OS X 10.4.11, Mac OS X 10.3.9, and Mac OS 9.x

Yes. But consider what you are charging. It isn't powerful enough to charge my MacBook Pro. It's more for phones/ipads/e-readers.

No, it only works to power your iPad. You'll need a Bluetooth keyboard. They're fairly cheap. It does work to sync as well, but not for input.

Connected a used one to my new Mac Pro and it works, however i needed to buy an active adapter

Although the mini-port cable looks like a thunderbolt, alas, it is not. I do not think it will work, but a quick call to apple support will get you your answer.

None at all, using both powered and un-powered USB hubs. The keyboard works flawlessly on both a MacBook Air and a Mac Mini using even daisy-chained hubs.

Mr. Sohel, I have a Mac and it does not charge my laptop. The charger uses only USB cords. Donna

I don't know about a MacBook Air but I tried it on my wife's MacBook Pro and the keyboard works after syncing.

I've used both USB ports to accommodate my iPad and iPhone w/out a problem. I'm actually on vacation in Mexico, and the adapter is so convenient. The housekeeper asked if we would mind if she charged her IPhone while she serviced our room!

Yes, it will charge your iPad when plugged into a computer. It is essentially a lightning sync cable built into a dock.

Don't buy it, go with the apple brand, I've bought 2 of these knockoff adapters and they have both broke in 2-3 uses. If your port on the Ipad air has a small lightning bolt graphic it will work.

Theresa,This adapter works great if you just TRANSFER data.My IPAD and other devices "talk" through this adapter without any problem.I don't own an IPAD 2 or 3 or an Iphone, so I have not tried these but they should work.*** CHARGING is a completely different story ***This adapter's power supply caused a problem to a previous computer, so I have not connected the power supply to this adapter ever since.My PC does not provide enough USB current to charge my IPAD when directly attached to its USB port.Much less when it is attached through this adapter without the help of its power supply. Hope this helps.
