i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

  • I'm running iTunes 10.5 on my Macbook Pro and software 4.1 on my 2g iPod touch and having problems getting photo's to sync. Same error iPod can't be synced req'd file can't be found. Tried deleting the photo cache, restoring the iPod etc but to no avail.

    Try here:
    iTunes: Unable to sync photos
    Usually deleting the iPod Photo Cache Folder works. Note that if you sync via the folder method, make sure you dlete all the ifolders since :
    The iPod Photo Cache stores the photos that are optimized for display on your iPod, iPad, or iPhone. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the “Sync Photos From” pop-up menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).

  • My iPad will not charge, it can sync to iTunes and transfer data/music to it, but when plugged in to a USB or an A/C wall adapter all it says is not charging.

    My iPad will not charge, it can sync to iTunes and transfer data/music to it, but when plugged in to a USB or an A/C wall adapter all it says is not charging.

    A lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
    In terms of the wall charger, have you tried a different charger and/or cable, or do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
    Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging "

    I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging ". I read other forms and people also struggeling with the same problem. My computer dose'nt have enough power. There must be another way for me to get to charge my ipad mini from my computer. It works fine charging it in an outlet. any ideas??!

    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • I am connected to my iMac to recharge iPad but it is saying "Not charging" ! Why and what have I done wrong?

    I am connected to my iMac to recharge iPad but it is saying "Not charging" ! Why and what have I done wrong?

    If you already updated to 8.0 you're doing nothing wrong. It's one of the lovely issues created by the update. I just tested mine, same problem.

  • I am trying to make a purchase and want to use my Apple ID Balance and NOT charge the debit card under my account info.  How do I do this?

    I am trying to make a purchase and want to use my Apple ID Balance and NOT charge the debit card under my account info.  How do I do this?

    As far as I'm aware iTunes always charges the account balance first and when this expires charges any remaining amount to your credit/debit card. The one exception I am aware of (though there could be others) is that Apps purchased from the Canadian store must always be charged to a card rather than a gift card voucher balance due to local legislation.

  • Hi i just got my new ipad today and it was on i don't why but its new and when i plug it into my computer at the top of the ipad says not charging how can i make it charge?

    new ipad won't charge but i can download everytthing but the top says not charging and its at 20%

    That is perfectly normal with the new iPad. Your USB port does not supply enough power to charge the iPad. This is copied from Apple's web site about the iPad battery.

  • Hi, is there a way to sync my iPod classic with my iPod touch without using a pc? I have also have an iPad2 if that can help??

    HI, I have an iPod touch with all my songs on it and also have a 5th gen classic which is connected to my car. My laptop died on me a while back and I replaced it with an iPad 2.  I now am unsure how I can keep updating my classic seeing as I no longer have a pc with iTunes on it?
    IS there a way I can continue purchasing music via my iPod touch/iPad and then sync them with my iPod classic for he car?  I don't really want to have to buy a new laptop just for iTunes!
    I have seen iTunes match being talked about and am wondering if this could be a solution, but again not sure how I will get new purchases on I the classic as its not wireless etc?!
    THanks in advance for any help.

    No.  You can sync content directly from an iPod to another iPod or iPad.  The content you wish to transfer needs to be in your iTunes library first.

    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • TS1398 I have a iPad and iPhone 4s using same wi fi phone says not connected to Internet despite showing wi fi signal and has been reset

    Reboot your router by turning it off or unplugging it from power for about 15 seconds.

  • I just bought my iPad Air and I'm trying to use iBooks but it's saying that  I need iOS device with iBooks.  I downloaded the app but still can't open the book

    How do I enable my iPad Air to use iBooks

    You should download and install iBooks first and then buy books from the iBooks Store. You worked backwards. Where did you but the book? Or where did you download it from?

  • How do I sync itunes with my ipod touch without erasing my songs

    I buy my songs using the wifi store on my itouch, then I transfer them to my pc. When I synced it, it told me it will have to erase my songs, since I already transfered the songs, I would. But there was a "problem syncing" and it erased my songs and I had to BUY them again. How do I sync it

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - For other music you will need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Then connect the iPod to your computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod fom that backup.
    You can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • My ipad (including the box) was stolen but icloud is saying I have no devices registared with my account. Is there a way to find my ipad, as it was the only one used with that apple id?

    Is there anyway of tracking my ipad using only the apple id account that I used on it?
    It hadn't hardly been used for anything other than updating to iOS7 recently...

    No, sorry, there is no way you can get that information. The police perhaps could, but it would probably require a court order and it's unlikely the police will go to those lengths unless they have reason to believe that this theft was not an isolated instance and hence worth more of their time than the single theft of an iPod.
    Even if they got the ID, it may well just be yours. Apple's registration database often contains such errors; I get the same message for some of my devices when I know I registered them to my Apple ID and the devices are all still right here.
    Regards.
