Do I have to use the cord provided or will the usb cord that comes with an Apple device work as well?

Any cord that has a USB end will work but it comes with a lot of different cords and attachments.

It comes with a USB cord that you use to connect to your phone. For iPhones you would use your charger cable.

No, you need a lightning cord, and I have purchased other, off brand, flat noodle lightning cords for my mini, and they work about one half the time. Sometimes I get a message that the cable is not compatible. Best of luck finding a cord that works 100% of the time that isn't from Apple.

Hello, yes youll need a USB to 30 Pin Apple cable. For example your original Apple cable. The Micro USB cable will not fit.

It comes with a cord but not a plug in. That will have to be bought seperate and you can buy any kind. It doesnt have to be an apple. A basic phone charger plug in will work. Hope thag helps!

You charge the unit with a cord it comes with and then use a separate USB cord with the device with the phone (I keep the cord that my IPhone uses in my purse).

You use the supplied USB cord and power it up via computer USB port or charging block with USB plug, like apple cube.

It's a regular mini-USB. iPods and iPads use a different adapter altogether, I think theirs is called a lightning cable...?

The dual USB port version doesn't. I purchased the one with the lightning cable already attached (and unremovable) and an extra USB port which worked fabulous until the built in cord broke. Now I only have one port I can use, so I would recommend going with the dual one - that way you can just switch out the cords if they break.

I used it with a computer and it is connected via a USB port. Do they have a USB port on an iPad? It only came with one cord which is the USB.

This unit comes with a standard USB to micro USB that can be used to charge the mini as well as Android devices. If you plan to charge Apple products, you will have to use your own Apple cord. Also the unit does not come with its own wall adapter. You can either charge it with the USB port on a computer or use the USB wall adapter that came with your other devices.

It uses USB - you shouldn't need anything different. It goes from my iMac to my two MacBooks with ease.

I have never tried to plug the USB into an apple product. I have only plugged it into the wall charger.

The Apple accessory you will need is called Lightning to Micro USB Adapter. You can find it on the Apple website, under Apple accessories. We have been using this for some time now with no issues.

You plug the USB into your computer to charge it. I've also plugged it into an apple ipad charger, which seemed to work fine.

It comes with a power cord to power the usb devices, but to charge the mac, you have to use your own.

You do need your own USB connectors, but it works with all devices I've used. One note: Apple devices should be connected to the primary USB outlet.
