My ipad mini will not charge from my lap top, it will sync.
I can charge from a wall outlet. When I plug into my laptop, (upper right) states battery not charging. Plug into a wall outlet works fine.
A lot of computers don’t 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 an iPad.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?Hi there Apples or Pears,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the articles below.

my daughter's i-pad mini will not charge up from the wall socket and it will not show itself on i-tunes via my pc... i substituted the power charger from my i-phone to no avail with the wall socket... seems like i read that the earlier i-pads have some problems with the lightning socket but can not remember exactly...there is no apple retail shop in the small city where i live but would travel to one if the fix is relatively quick or easy...otherwise, what can i do for diagnosis and repair?
Most likely your cable is bad and you need to get a replacement.

New iPad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help on that
my new ipad 3 will not charge from a mac. need help why if any one knows? thk
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%.
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. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html
Also, if you have a 3rd generation iPad, look at Apple: iPad Battery Nothing to Get Charged Up About

My iPad will not charge from the wall outlet or the USB. I also used three different chargers, as well as rebooting my iPad several times.
Then it's time to make an appointment at your Apple Genius Bar at your Apple Store. Apple will check it out and if it's defective and still in waranty (you don't say which model you have), it will be replaced.

The iPad Mini does not charge using a laptop
My brand new iPad Mini does not charge using my macbook pro, but it does when is connected to de ac power wall adapter !!!
That is the way is is supposed to work. Your MBP does not supply enough power to charge the battery efficiently. It may be charging, but at a trickle rate and it will show as not charging. That is why a power adapter is included with the iPad. Use it.

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.

IPhone will not charge from wall socket only from Laptop or Computer!
Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem?
My IPhone will charge sometimes and sometime it wont:
I mean like sometimes it will charge from the wall socket and sometimes it wont!
It will go so far as to turn off because of no battery life! Then I plug it in to the Laptop and it starts charging!I have had this problem for some time. It applies to both a wall charger (the one that came with iPhone and a third-party model) and a car charger (third party). Both wall and car chargers are rated at 1000 ma which should be enough power. Yet when the battery charge goes below a certain level the phone will not charge from wall or car charger, but it will charge from a computer.
I did some research on USB power. Per specification, a USB client (the iPhone) cannot draw more than 100 ma from the USB host (charger or computer or hub) unless it asks for and gets permission to draw more current. (This is so it does not interfere with other USB devices connected to the host.)
Inexpensive wall chargers do not contain any computing elements. They short the D+ and D- lines together. This makes it impossible for a client to negotiate a higher current draw, so the iPhone, working per the USB standard, limits itself to 100 ma. When connected to a computing device such as a computer or USB hub, the iPhone can negotiate a higher current, up to the 500 ma currently allowed by the USB standard.
This begs the question, why can't the iPhone charge on 100 ma when the battery is almost completely discharged? After all, when the battery has more charge, the iPhone will charge nicely from a wall charger. Perhaps someone has some insight into this aspect.
There is evidently a new USB standard for wall chargers that will fix this issue. Both the host and client must implement in order for it to work. (I haven't read the standard, but suspect it involves the client detecting that the D+ and D- lines are shorted together.) Obviously, either the charger or my iPhone 3G don't comply with this new standard. Maybe the iPhone 3GS does? Or maybe we have to wait for another iPhone model that has the hardware that complies with the new USB wall charger standard.
Meanwhile I have to be careful not to fully discharge my iPhone battery when I am away from a computer. I recently went on a 30-day trip and had no problem because I charged the phone every night. Of course, I did not use it much because it was an international trip and AT&T roaming rates are horribly expensive. -

Try another outlet to make sure that isn't the issue. If it still doesn't work you will need to replace your charger.

Iphone 4s will not charge from wall charger, only from computer usb
Well My iphone 4s has starting acting up. The phone will not charge from any of the apple wall chargers I have. I have also tried various apple cables. The phone will charge from my Macbook Pro's usb port.
I have also did various restores to the phones software/phone, it is running ios 7.0.6
Any help would be great I was trying to hold out for the iphone 6, and don't really want the 5s......Hi there 97t-bird,

IPhone's 4S & 5 will not charge from wall charger
Similarly to everyone else, I have updated my iPhone 5 & also 4S to IOS 6.1.3.
The batteries in both phones are draining very fast just as a lot of other people are commenting on, but also both phones will not charge from various devices that do work.
I have 2 cables that both work in the car an on my PC, neither now work when connected to a GPO.
This started straight after the phones were updated.
Thoughts; advice please.i did the basic stuff OF COURSE .... but i am NOT willing to go through the pain of restoring my phone just because Apple screwed up another IOS update ..... i am really getting sick of thiose half-baked updates that break more things than fix ....

After using Energie On The Go BB will not charge from wall
My BB was out of power and I bought an Energizer Energie on the go to charge my BB and it worked fine. But since then the BB will not charge from the wall. I bought a new batery and same story. the plug con comes on when first plugged to the wall charger bt goes out in 3 sec. What's the deal? How can Fix? have tried removing battery and reseting several times but no luck.
I guess it's possible that the charger block is faulty, and maybe you had a power surge that knocked them out, perhaps the cables are good which is why they charge with USB port on computer of in a car but the block the USB cable plugs into is bad thus when using a wall outlet it doesn't charge... Have you had to reset the GFCI for any outlets in your home??

My ipad mini is not charging on one side of lightning cable
my ipad mini is not charging on one side of lightning cable, but it charging on both side`s when it connected to pc,The cable is charge on other devices on both side`s
If your cable and iPad are less than a year old, make an appointment at your local apple store and take them in. If they find that there are manufacturer's defects they can be covered under the warranty.

My Ipod 5 will not charge. It died and now will no charge to turn back on. What should i do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
