My mother bought a new charger for my ipad mini

my ipad mini had been out of use for approximately 3 months, because i had no charger for it.  However my mother bought a charger recently and after being plugged in for an entire night i woke up to see it at 25%, i took it school and while it was plugged in at school it started to lose charge. after 2 days it finally reached 85%, however this morning it said cable or accessory is not certified for ipad, is it my new charger or is it the ipad mini thats the problem?

Are you talking about the cable?
About a wall charger?
The iPad may not charge with the screen on with other than an iPad charger since the screen uses a lot of power and many computer and wall charges to not provided sufficient power.

  • I have to bend my charger for my iPad Mini to Charge. Now it has reached 0% and even if i bend it it wont charge!

It drained and now when i plug it and bend it the screen is black and a little red battery appears but now its flashing and the screen turns off again. What can I do?

  • Is the charging cord for the iPad 4 the same as the charging cord for the iPad mini?

    Is the charger for the iPad 4 the same as the charger for the iPad mini?

    You have 2 questions here.
    The actual cable is the same Lightning USB cable for all 3 current generation products. That is iPad Mini, iPad4 and iPhone 5. All the same.
    The charger, however, that comes with the Mini is the 5W charger. This is the same charger that comes with the iPhone 5. However the charger for the iPad 4 is the larger 12W charger.
    You can use the larger 12W charger to charge every other device, but the 5W charger will not correctly charge the iPad 4 as it requires more power than it can provide. 

  • Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use

    Ok, so basically my charger fell apart on my MacBook pro(2010) and I didn't have the money for a new charger, I got it in the states too if that's relevant. Basically my laptop will not charge, I bought a new charger yesterday and it's still no-use,not charging . No green or orange light coming on on the new charger either.

    It is one of the items that Apple gets criticized at regular intervals. The MagSafe connector is proprietary and unlicensable, so the company has a lock-in on the power options. And as you have now found out, your hijinks trying to avoid buying an expensive new charger may have caused more damage and led to a total no-charge condition.
    If lucky and no physical damage has occurred (there IS a fuse in there somewhere on the circuit boards), maybe resetting the SMC can restore charge functionality, provided there is still enough juice: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

  • I bought a brand new charger for my iphone 5 less then two months ago and it doesnt work now

    i bought a brand new charger for my iphone 5 less then two months ago and it doesnt work now

    You will have a hard time taking it back.  Most places will claim you stepped on it accidentally and almost nobody will replace accidental damage for free.  2 months is also a long time.  Many places give you 15-30 dys to discover anything wrong and after that it is yours.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If I have understood you properly, to do that, you have to create a new administrator user with your name and for your uses. Follow these steps:
    1. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, and press the + button to create a new administrator account.
    2. When you have finished creating that user, open  > Log Out, and log in your new user.
    3. Open System Preferences > Users & Groups, select the old user and press the - button to remove the user. If you want, you can select the option to remove the Home folder of this user, so you will only have the Home folder for your account

  • I've bought a new charger and a new battery but my laptop still won't charger?!

    HP G61-429WM Serial: CNF011DKGV Product: WA961UA#ABA CT: 6AFPE03SAYO421 484170-001
    This laptop is about three years old. It started not taking the charge less than a year ago so I bought a new charger (Reltrak) charger. That did not seem to solve the problem and eventually it still would not charger. I then assumed the battery must have simply died so I bought a new battery. It took the charge for a day but now it will not charge. I do not know what could be the problem. The laptop is good. It runs great when it's actually charger. Do you think it could be an internal problem? Any ideas?

    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 another cable                     
    - 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.

  • My iPad is not charging. I even bought a new charger

    my iPad won't charge. I bought a new charger and it worked for a couple days and now it won't.

    Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good. If your computer/iTunes does not recognize the iPad, then the cable is probably bad.
    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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    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%.

    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.

  • Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD

    Bought a new Ipod for daughter for Xmas. How can I use ICLOUD to sync Itunes only to her IPOD and not everything else on my iphone etc?

    On the iPod turn off iCloud for calender, contacts and other things (Settings>iCloud) and turn off automatic downloading for apps and books (Settings>Store).
    Aldso go to Settings Messages and Facetime and add her own email calling/messaging address and delete the Apple ID calling/messaging address.
