Any1 can tell me y i cant charge my ipad via a laptop? how to do it??

can some1 teach me to charge my ipad thru notebook ?

A lot of computers (especially older ones) do not provide enough power to their USB ports in order 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, but the most efficient way to charge the iPad is via the wall charger that came with it.

    please please can some one tell me how do you charge ur ipad with ur laptop. it doesn't chage wen I put use the wire. only charges when I plug the socket in. Iv never used an ipad b4 so don't really know much. Hope some one knowz.

    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 (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%.
    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.

  • TS2634 When I connect iPad to Macbook Pro through USB Port or even charge my iPad via the apple adapter, it has no response at all. I can only charge my iPad when I totally shut off the iPad. Pls advise.

    Well ... the charger is the original charger and just checked and confirmed it is a 5.1V charger. How come? Next is why when i connect my iPad via original usb cable, no response from macbook pro? used to sync with iTunes now totally dead.

  • Can i use a 5 watt charger on ipad retina?

    Have an ipad retina display ( not mini) my charger got ruined and bought a 5 watt charger, can i use it?, will it ruin my ipad? Will it reduce the overall batrery life. Thank you for support

    No, the iPads use chargers that are either 10 or 12 watts...a 5 watt charger is not powerful enough to charge an iPad.

  • Why can't I sinc my iPhone to my iPad via bluetooth?

    Why am I having a problem syncing my iPhone & iPad via Bluetooth?

    Geez... I had such high hopes
    You had completely unrealistic hopes.
    Bluetooth is far too slow for anything more than the smallest of files.
    Considering the fact that iPads and iPhones can store many gigabytes worth of data, you would be waiting weeks to sync your media.
    USB is much, much faster. You can also transfer files via WiFi if the app you're using supports it. When iOS5 comes out later this year you'll also be able to sync via WiFi.
    Bluetooth is just not designed for syncing huge amounts of audio and video data.

  • Can Apple TV mirror what's on my iPad?  If so, how do I make this happen?

    I just bought the Apple TV unit (2nd gen) and was under the impression that it would allow me to use my TV as a wireless monitor for my iPad2...  It plays the music from my iTunes (computer) allows me to set up and use the remote app but no luck with using it as a monitor.  Have I missed something or is this not even possible?
    Thanks!

    Video mirroring with AirPlay and Apple TV.
    If you have an Apple TV, you can wirelessly stream everything that’s on your iPad to your HDTV.* It’s video mirroring without any cables. All you have to do is double-click the Home button, swipe all the way to the right, and select AirPlay Mirroring. Learn more

  • Can I send a delayed email from an iPad? if so, how?

    How can I send a delayed email from my iPad?

    The only way would be to draft the E-mail and then close the iPad.  A draft would be created that would, I think, be sent the next time you turn the iPad on.
    There is no "time delay" function.

  • HT1752 I have a 1999 powermac g4 with a 10 GB drive I gave my daughter. Has Tiger which I no longer have the cd for. Needs to be repaiured, I have a pre intel Power book G4 running 10.5.8. Can I repair from that start up disk or via my laptop?

    Can I use my laptop pre Intel G$ running 10.5.8 or the CD for 10.5 to start up without trouble?

    Cannot boot from CD, I get a black screen with white info at the top. Scary. Trying my laptop next.

  • Why can't i sync my ibooks on my iPad to my laptop?

    why doesn't my ibooks and pdf files i have on my ipad sync to my macbook pro with icloud. I have all the settings to do so. can anyone help me?

    If you mean the Settings > iBook > Sync Collections setting then that doesn't copy ibooks / PDFs / epubs between devices/computers. If that setting is 'on' then if a book is on both your iPad and Macbook and you move it into a collection on one of them then it will be moved into the same collection on the other, but it won't copy the actual book onto a device/computer (you need to download/sync/copy your books/PDFs onto each device/computer that you want them on).
    If you have PDFs and/or ibooks on your iPad and you want them on your Mac then you will need to connect the iPad to your Mac's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy them over (that will copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app on your iPad, not just actual ibooks).

  • Can i record music from vinyl records to iPad via usb turntable?

    I have an old desktop PC but recently purchased an iPad and was wondering if I plugged in my usb turntable, could I record songs from vinyl records to the iPad?  If so what app would be best?

    This is a classic task for a computer. One I used to do frequently. I used the Amadeus application to record and, where necessary, edit the music. The application can filter the recorded tracks to eliminate clicks and hiss among other things. I then saved the files and imported them into iTunes. From there I could do anything that iTunes let's me do such as burn CDs, use the music in videos and of course copy them to an iPod, iPad or iPhone.
