HT4060 My new ipad 4 will not charge with wall adapter.

My new ipad 4 will not charge when I plug it in with wall adapter? It shows the low red battery, the charge sign but also shows the plug in sign. The plug in does not go away.

If the battery has been completely depleted it may take more than an hour before the iPad becomes responsive again. Leave it on the charger overnight. If it does not charge up by the next morning make an appointment at an Apple store to have it looked at.

  • Ipod Touch will not charge with wall adapter.

    I just purchased an IPod Touch second generation, the battery went down and I connected it to my wall power adapter that I have used to charge my other IPods, I got a message telling me that they were not compatible. Can anyone help me understand why?

    Discovered my new Touch 2G would not charge from any of the USB chargers (2 Ac powered, 2 battery types) that worked fine with a Classic iPod. Found a knowledgeable expert at a Genius bar, and he brought out an adapter from the back that would connect Apple's thin connector for the output of a Classic power source to the input of the Touch - but it cost as much as a real Apple USB charger. Got a real Apple USB charger. As far as I can tell, the USB to Apple proprietary connect white cords are identical - I use the ones that came with the Classic, with the Touch, and with the USB charger interchangeably. The one difference: Apple's USB charger is rated at 1 amp; the 3rd party ones are rated at the usual 0.5 amp. I've since purchased a battery backup designed for the Touch and it does seem to work. It has 0.7 amp output instead of 0.5 amp. Recommended answer: just give up and get Apple's little USB power block (same as iPhone one) for about $30. It works, and it's small.

  • My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to lastest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    My new iPad will not sync with itunes. itunes is updated to latest version. Do I need to uninstall itunes and reinstall?

    That could be a solution. Are you getting any error messages or error codes? Is the iPad recognized in iTunes? Does anything happen at all when you try to Sync? Can you provide more details?
    You can try a very simple first step, quit iTunes, reboot your PC and restart the iPad.

  • My new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes

    my new ipad will not sync with itunes.  the device does not show up in itunes.  I am on a Windows system

    Do you have the absolute latest version of iTunes downloaded?  If your iTunes software has not been updated in some time, your iPad will not be recognized.  With iTunes open, click on Store at the top.  Check for available downloads and if there are any, download them.  Once you've verified you have the latest software, connect your device again, and it should be recognized.

    Hi Joanefrommaldon,
    If the battery on your iPad is not charging, then I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article below.

  • HT4060 My new iPad is not charging at all no messages

    My new iPad is not charging at all no messages on pc and not with 10w wall adapter either and not syncing to iTunes on my PCM

    Note that in some PCs not all USB ports have current/charging capabilities. A colleague had the same issue with a Dell desktop tower the other day, only the leftmost USB port on the frontside had charge capabilities.

  • Hi my new ipad will not charge in mains or PC??

    hi I have had my brand new ipad for about a month and i can't seem to get it to charge it charges when it wants so to speak, I've tryed it in the mains in about 10 different plug sockets and on 3 PC's one been a laptop and it doen't charge when you want it to. what help can you give me?????

    When you plug into a computer, it may say "not Charging", but it will charge but slowly. If this is the case, the cable is good. Therefore, the wall charger must be defective.
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.
    Make a Genius Bar Reservation
    http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
    FYI
    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
    Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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%.

  • My ipad will not charge with adapter

    My iPad2 suddenly stopped charging with the AC adapters (all 3 that I have). It will charge with the computer USB port, very slowly.

  • I have had my ipad for 6 months. We had a power failure and ever since my ipad will not charge with the wall adapter that came with it.  It will SLOWLY charge when plugged into computer port. Can anyone help me resolve this?

    I have had my iPad for 6 months.  We recently had a power outage and my iPad was plugged in with the adapter that came with it.  Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer.  Do you think the adapter got fried?  Also do you HAVE to have iTunes with an iPad, they were charging me alot of fees for games I did not download NOR give my password to have them downloaded so I cancelled iTunes because fo too many fees. Could this have anyting to do with the battery not charging?

    Since then I can not charge iPad with adapter, however I can charge it SLOWLY on my computer. 
    Well, something's definitely wrong if it won't charge from a wall outlet. Make an appointment at a Genius Bar or take it to an Apple certified repair provider.
    As for iTunes charges, according to Apple  iTunes Store: All Sales Are Final
    You can try contacting iTunes Billing:

  • 5G will not charge from wall adapter

    My new 15 gig 5G will not charge from a 5 volt wall adapter.It charges fine on the USB port on my computers.
    So I decided to take a USB extension and cut it an place a current meter in series with the 5 Volt on the USB line.What I found is that it will draw ~500ma with the data lines connected in the cable(in other words a normal cable). Now if I disconnect the data wires so that I am only connecting the 5 volts from the USB port it will draw ~100 ma for a second and then draw no current.It appears that some kind of handshaking is required. Is this normal?
    As it is now I will not be able to ever charge it from a 5 volt supply.Do they do something to the data lines on wall adapters?

    Well I finally got my "dumb" USB charger (a Belkin F8Z009 Power pack) to work with my iPod 5G 30GB. To wake up the 5G needs to see 2.5 volts on it's data lines. The easiest way to do this is with a voltage divider made with two equal resistors. Like this:
    As a poof of concept I made the device below with four 30K resistors but anything from 10K to 50K should work fine.
    A more compact wake up cable could be made by cutting into a standard USB male-female extension cable and soldering in four resistors like this:
    Of course if your building your own or can get your "dumb" USB charger open then the resistor voltage dividers can go inside.

  • My new iPad will not sync with iTunes?

    I was given a new ipad2 by apple shop under warranty however when I got it home it would not sync with iTunes .
    I contacted AppleCare who said remove then reinstall iTunes , still no joy
    HELP!

    Try here:

    assuming yur problem is that the iPad does not appear in iTunes.

  • New ipad will not sync with itunes, despite having sufficient capacity

    Trying to sync our brand new iPad 3 with our Mac's iTunes.  iTunes keeps giving me blurb:
    "The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items."
    HOWEVER, the rainbow capacity bar at the bottom of iTunes shows that we are attempting to sync 27.95 GB worth of stuff, leaving 17.6 GB of free space.
    That doesn't look "full" to me....!
    What now?

    I have the same problem!
    My PC crashed and I had to upgrade my motherboard. Music and photos are still intact as they were stored on a separte hard drive (but had to re-do some playlists!). The apps were affected so I had to download purchased apps again from iTunes, not much of a problem there.
    Now that I've tried syncing the iPad to my PC, I got the same error as Tiki's that "The iPad cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items."
    What to do????

  • Ipod will not charge with wall charger or computer

    Until maybe 2-3 days ago, my ipod was working fine.  Now, when I plug it up to be charged, it won't.  Not with the wall charger or the cable that connects to the computer, which are all Apple products and charge my ipad.  The computer won't even recognize that anything is plugged into it.  There are no error messages.  Any help?

    Hmm, that's weird. I've used the iPad charger to charge my ipod before with no problems. It's more like wall adapter that I can insert  the Apple usb into.
    But, I've used both cables, the one that came with the ipod/pad and neither are working.
