Charging iPad + using it = Ugh?

Helo
Id luv to ask, does charging a ipad and using it in the mean time may or could reduce battery life? It is a popular and common fact for many devices.im really sad and wondering and would like to know the true answer.

Having seen them all, including those which have been removed, I've long since concluded that your posts have nothing to do with any attempt on your part to get any technical assistance from users on these forums. You appear totally uninterested in following up on any of the many, many suggestions which have been provided to you, and the few times when you tried providing any answers were made pretty worthless by your almost total lack of any relevant technical knowledge.
Despite having been told several times that the Discussions forums are not a general chat room, you continue to use them as just that. This can no longer be laid off to simple ignorance; if ignorance exists, it is willful. Your insistence on providing one-line answers to almost every poster in a thread contributes exactly nothing, and your tendency to occasionally wind up using some weird form of gangsta-speak is just juvenile.
If your intention is to waste the time of all while irritating a few, you're succeeding. If you have nothing better to do, might I ask you to do it elsewhere?
For my own part I will no longer bother responding to any questions you might ask. I will, however, continue to occasionally remind you of your promise to go away.

  • Charging iPad using USB port

    I will be traveling to Italy.  Does anyone know if you can charge the iPad using the USB port in a power surge protector, without harming the iPad?

    What would be coming out of the "USB" port in the power surge protector.

  • Is there a way to charge ipad using laptop

    cuz when i make restore it charge finish

    Not likely. Computer USB ports usually don't put out enough power to correctly charge an iPad.  LEss so Laptop ports which are designed to save battery.
    What's wrong with plugging it in to the wall?

  • Using USB Wall Outlet to Charge iPad

    I was wondering if any harm can be cause by using a reputable brand USB wall charger.  In other words, instead of using the 10 watt Apple charging brick with the lightening cable, using the lightening cable and plugging it directly into the USB wall charger (i.e., bypassing the Apple charging brick).  It seems like it may charge faster using the wall outlet directly, but wouldn't want to risk charing the iPad in this manner if potential harm could be cause. 

    You should have no issue if you stick with reputable company like Skydiver119 mentions. Also, be sure that the aftermarket charger is rated for the same output (look at the watts ratings here) as the Apple charger or higher.
    It's also worth noting that using an aftermarket charger of the same wattage output as the Apple charger likely will not charge the device any faster or slower. Certainly not anything you'd notice.
    Also, moving to a higher wattage charger (10 watt vs 12 watt) is fine but don't expect any noticeable vast increase in charging speed...I supposed you'd notice if you did a timed test between the two but otherwise, don't expect miracles.

  • My IPad want charge I've bought a new charger and use difference outlets but it still want charge.

    My IPad is getting hard to charge,I have to wiggly the charger to get it to charge. I've bought a new charger and used difference outlets. I need to know what is wrong?

    Consider where you are wriggling the charger (I suspect you mean the cable. Why does everybody refer to a cable as "the charger"?) and make sure all the contacts there are free from pocket fluff and such.

    You probably need to recalibrate the battery. See link below.
    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.)
    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.

  • HT4060 For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    But  if that charger works just fine with your other iPad and not this one, I'd call up your local apple store and make an appointment so they can look at it. Usually when an iPad wont' charge (when plugged into the wall with its supplied charger) it's
    Bad outlet
    bad power brick
    bad cable
    and if the charger is working with another iPad then that rules that out and the thing left is something wrong with the 30 pin port on the iPad, or perhaps something with the battery or software that monitors the battery. ANd things like that are beyond a user fix.
    On the upside if the device is still under warranty - and barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect - then it should be covered under the warranty.

  • Can I use the iphone charger to charge ipad

    Can I safely use the iPhone charger to charge an iPad or iPad mini?  I realize that the iPhone charger will charge the iPad/iPad mini at a slower rate, but does it have the potential to overheat or burn out the iPhone charger?  I ask this because it is more convenient to take the iPhone charger on trips and a longer charge time is not a problem.

    The only problem is the slow rate of charge. You would do better to carry the iPad charger and use it also for the phone. That is perfectly OK too.
