HT5423 How many hours is the charging time of the iPad 4th gen?

I am charging my ipad, & noticed that its been 9 hours & still its 90 percent. I just wanna know, how many hours is the charging time of an iPad before it gets 100% full? & is it normal that the charger become hot? Hope someone can answer this question. Thank u. 

Chargers, and the unit being charged where the battery is located, will get warm during charging...charging does work on the battery.  If it is hot or too hot to handle then you need to decide if it is too uncomfortable and needs to be checked at the Apple store genius bar.
Nine hours is a long time to charge, but if you discharged all the way it can take 4-8 hours to fully charge.
If the charger is getting very hot and taking a long time to charge you may want to take it to the genius bar and have it checked by the techs.

  • HT4060 what is the charging time of new iPad 4th gen??

    Hi have bought a new iPad 4th Generation. it takes more than 3 hrs to full charge even when i use its 10W adapter supplied with box. How much time exactly iPad takes to full charge??

    That's a lot faster than most users report. Usually overnight.
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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%.

    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.

    Why is the FaceTime ring so low on the iPad 4th gen? I could barely hear it when it rings.  I tell my friends to text me first so I wii know

    Are you also using the same Apple ID for FaceTime, as listed under Settings > FaceTime?
    If so, don't.  While it's perfectly okay to share an Apple ID for iTunes & App Store, you shouldn't share an Apple ID with another person for the following:
    iCloud
    FaceTime
    Messages
    Use a unique personal Apple ID.  Whoever is the actual owner of the current Apple ID needs to keep using that.  The other person needs to make their own Apple ID, and use that for iCloud, FaceTime & Messages.  Maybe even Game Center to be on the safe side.

  • HT201406 Can screenprotectors affect touchscreen functionality on the iPad 4th gen?

    I have a brand new iPad 4th gen and had a Zagg Invisishield screen protector put onto it.  I want to know if that can cause touchscreen issues.  I have found there are dead spots on the touchscreen and also at times, phantom touching happening as well.  I don't want to remove the screen protector until I know for sure because it was a little pricey.

    I am having the same problems with some apps.  Ice Age Village does not work now with Ipad 4.

  • Why the bluetooth function on the iPad (4th Gen) doesn't work well to pair either with my PC (Windows7) or iPhone4 running on iOS7 ?

    Why is it that my iPad(4th Gen) doesn't pair either with PC ( Windows7) or iPhone4 (running iOS7)?
    The search for the devices on turning Bluetooth is eternal and the activity ring keeps swirling for ever to leave frustrated.

    I'm sorry but Bluetooth on iPad/iPhone doesn't work as you'd expect it too, particularly if you've used Nokia or other brands in the past.  Bluetooth on iPad/iPhone will only allow you to add other devices such as keyboards or headsets.

    It depends upon the size (MB) of the photographs, and the amount of memory that the iPad has.

  • How many gb does the ipad 2 come with

    I am planning to buy an ipad2. To help me determine whether I should get 16 or 32 Gb. I need to know how many gb are already occupied (by the ios, etc) when the ipad arrives.

    Disclaimer - For me the Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture very different from that found in most 1st world nations, such as that in the two dominant North American countries. Written language has no tone. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    At this point Apple only sells a new 16 GB iPad 2. If you want a larger capacity new iPad 2 you will need to find it from another source. Yes, a new iPad has about 2 GB of the operating system and bundled Apple iOS apps installed.

  • What is a good protective case for the ipad 4th gen?

    Hi,
    I recently bought my first iPad (ipad 4). I want to get a protective case in case I drop it. Some of the features I want include, 360 degree viewing angle, auto wake and sleep (doesn’t have to have this but would be nice) I don’t want big case like the otter box cases. I want a folio case with different viewing angles.
    the reason i want it to rotate is because i want to record lectures. so if you know of any cases let me know!
    if you could help me out that would be great! I have been researching for over a week! You guys have never failed me before!
    is the ipad smart COVER offer any protection?
    Thanks
    Austin

    For drop protection, you aren't going to get much better than the Otter, but yes it will add some bulk to the iPad (really any high level drop protection case will). That isn't to say other cases will not offer some protection against dropping, but not as effective. The Apple Smart cover offers no back protection at all, and the Smart Case only minimal.
    Not sure what you mean by "360 degree viewing angle" or why it would matter. Any case offering a portrait and a landscape orientation should work. (also not so sure how effective at recording lectures the iPad would be). There are literally hundreds of polio type cases available. Most will offer a number of angles in landscape mode, but fewer for portrait mode.
    Even some fairly inexpensive folio cases offer the smart cover function.
    I would recommend a trip to a full service electronics store such as Best Buy and have a look yourself. Really the only way you will be able to make a decision.
