Charging device fails after use on iPad mini

I have several apple devices that require the lightening charging cable. Every cord that I use on my mini fails shortly after use. These are OEM cords that have been used with no issues until plugged into the mini. It appears that it is the usb / lightening cable that fails as the wall charger will still work with other cables / devices. I've had 4 chargers fail so far and have now banned charging of the mini.... any suggestions?

You didn't mention which reset you tried that didn't work ...
Try this reset ...
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart your iPad.
Try the iTunes Store.
No data is lost due to a reset.

After updating my ipad mini retina to 8.1.2, my device experiences blue screen of death at random times.

After updating my ipad mini retina to 8.1.2, my device experiences blue screen of death at random times. It is so annoying plus there are applications that keeps on crashing such as brother in arms by gameloft so i have no choice but to reinstall it all over again.. But after quite some time the apps will crash again.. Argh it's a cycle. so annoying..

Hi It sounds like a bug. Go to settings iCloud backup over your WiFi Then Restore back to Factory Settings. After Restore use same Apple ID then you will get all your apps & data back. Do Restore over your WiFi. Since ios 7 Almost everything can be done over WiFi you don't need to use your PC. Cheers Brian

I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging "

I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging ". I read other forms and people also struggeling with the same problem. My computer dose'nt have enough power. There must be another way for me to get to charge my ipad mini from my computer. It works fine charging it in an outlet. any ideas??!

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%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/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.

Hi 50mike,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The article below may be able to help you with this.

iPhone, iPad, iPod: Using iPad Power Adapters
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4327
You can use the iPad mini charger to charge the iPhone 5C, but not recommended the other way around.
The article below explains that the iPhone charger is meant to charge only iPhones and 1st generation iPad mini.
iPad: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
To charge your iPad battery, try one of these:
Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and USB power adapter (use the table below to determine which adapter is intended for your iPad.)
Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.
Note: Some USB 2.0 ports and accessories do not provide enough power to charge iPad. When this occurs the message "Not Charging" appears in the status bar next to the battery icon.
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

Pairing devices fails after install of osx 10.8.5.. It fails at my Iphone and Ipad touch during the pairing about 5 seconds after I confirm the 6 digit number. Does this make sense? Thanks for considering this.

The following entry may indicate a failing harddrive, so doing backups and replacing the harddrive may be in order.
Disk Information:
TOSHIBA MK7559GSXF disk0 : (750,16 GB)
S.M.A.R.T. Status: Failing <-----------
A little bit about drive S.M.A.R.T. status:
"The most basic information that SMART provides is the SMART status. It provides only two values: "threshold not exceeded" and "threshold exceeded". Often these are represented as "drive OK" or "drive fail" respectively. A "threshold exceeded" value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honor its specification in the future: that is, the drive is "about to fail". The predicted failure may be catastrophic or may be something as subtle as the inability to write to certain sectors, or perhaps slower performance than the manufacturer's declared minimum."

HT2729 Purchased HD movie on ITune and tried to watch it on my TV using my IPAd Mini as the source and got flashing white images and then finally a motive that it could be watched using the TV aas a monitor. Why? How do I avoid this problem?

Recently while on vacation I tried to use my IPad Mini to watch a movie down loaded from ITunes and could not. Initially I get flashing white lights across the TV monitor I was using so a group of us could watch the movie, Wreck It Ralph. A few minutes later I was informed that the TV was not an acceptable viewing device. Why? How do I avoid this going forward?

I connected an HDMI cable to a connector that I bought at an Apple store. The connector connects the HDMI cable to the IPad Mini and the HDMI connects to the TV

I use my iPad all the time while it is charging ....like right now for instance. You cannot overcharge the battery, so you have no worries if you use it while charging.

That could be a hardware problem with the screen digitizer but first try these troubleshooting steps in this order:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/
