How come my ipad mini battery percentage drop even though is still charging with the charger?

I just bought my ipad mini two weeks ago. Just curious how come my battery percentage will drop even though I am still charging it. And this happen twice. I never do anything with the ipad when charging as I left it to charge while i went to sleep.

There must be a loose connection somewhere; check all your connection points or try another wall socket.
If it still doesn't work, try another cable and charger.

My iPad will not charge with the charger or plugged into my laptop

I Have an iPad Air that will not charge with the charger plugged into a socket or the MacBook?

Hi Joanefrommaldon,
If the battery on your iPad is not charging, then I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article below.

If i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?

if i buy a new ipad and bring it to England will it still work with the different voltages and the 3G/4G?

They both seem to cover the same 3G bands - from http://www.apple.com/ipad/specs/ :
Wi-Fi + 4G for AT&T model: 4G LTE (700, 2100 MHz); UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
Wi-Fi + 4G for Verizon model: 4G LTE (700 MHz); CDMA EV-DO Rev. A (800, 1900 MHz);UMTS/HSPA/HSPA+/DC-HSDPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100 MHz); GSM/EDGE (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz)
CDMA isn't any use here as there aren't any UK CDMA based carriers, they are all GSM/sim card based (I'm not aware of any CDMA carriers in Europe). As the AT&T version appears to support an extra 4G LTE band then that might be the better one.

How low can ipad mini battery go before it needs to be charged?

How low can an ipad mini's battery go before It should be charged? I just received this for Christmas and want to make sure I take care of it properly. Thanks

Start with this and see of it will start up. Unplug it from the charger before you do this.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. See if the iPad starts up.

My Ipad min will not power up or start after being on the charger this morning. Was working just need to be charged no nothing.

My Ipad min was working fine this morning when I noticed it need to be charged along with my Iphone. Put them both on chargers. Now Ipad min will not power or come out of sleep mode. tried pushing home botton and the sleep/awake button on the to right to no avail. Any Ideas what to try next?
Thanks
Tom

Standard troubleshooting...
1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider. Slide to power off. Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider if, it comes up. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
3. Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red (-) to delete all apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

[iPad Mini 1st Gen.] Can't send E-Mails with the normal "Mail" App

Hi,
I can't send E-Mails with the normal E-Mail App, it works only with another Mail App, but then I can't send pictures. Maybe my new router is the cause, but it works with my iPhone 5, only with my iPad mini it doesn't work.Well, how I can solve the problem?
Sorry for my bad English.
Many Greetings from Germany.

Hi,
i can't change the iCloud SMTP Server settings for outgoing E-Mails.It isn't possible to make these "How to" (or how i can call it?) and the moves before i have already done and the issue haven't solved. I think my iPad mini is to old....
Many greetings,

Edit: I have a iCloud Mail Account.

Photos on Ipad not shown in Iphone even though ICloud is configured with same settings

Hello,
I have some problem getting my pictures synced with iCloud betwene my iPhone4 and iPad2 even though iCloud user account is added in booth devices and latest Device sw are installed.
How should you do to get this automaticly synch to work.
User cenario:
I take a photo with my Iohno but it will not be shown in my iPad photo stream.
What am I doing wrong?
Regards
Daniel Nelson

Be sure photo stream is turned on on both devices. On the device with the camera, you must be connected via wifi and the photo app must be shut down, not sleeping.

How come 'compare pdf' marks images as different even though I find no difference?

we are printing a brochure in 4 different languages and change the plate for black only (the text is black), the rest remains the same for all four versions. In oder to make sure the images are axactly the same in all four files I tried 'compare pdf' which then marks images as different although I don't find any difference, when I check the Indesign files. Where does this come from and is there any other way of checking, whether images are exactly the same if you print different versions together and only change the plate for black? For some reasons the printer does not want to put the black of the text on a different plate than the black of the images.

Ipad 4 not charging with the ORIGINAL Power adapter that came in the box. Can't charge my iPad. I plugged in on PC all night and has been charged to 7%

Yesterday, as usual was going to charge my iPad, it was at 1%. Well, I took my ipad charger (original Apple official, I want to clarify that as a first step, I'm using the brand products than Apple) and plugged into an outlet ... The ipad began loading the first two minutes , then I got a notification telling me that the iPad could not charge with the charger.
I was quite surprised by the announcement. I disconnected and reconnected it .... again, I received the same notification. Then I disconnected and tried it on another outlet ... anything, yet. then I tried it on another outlet and ipad started charging. but after a while I had the same notice, not paying attention to that. I left it charging and I removed roughly 25% that of fear for something to happen. also remembered that situation (made 2-3 months ago where the iPad was not charging but after waiting a while disconnected, reconnected it and loaded normally).
so I decided to wait to re-connect the iPad to the outlet. This time, I plugged it into the outlet (fully discharged) at night and expected to find it loaded in the morning. But my surprise is that it still is off, it did not load anything.
I Bought the iPad in December 2012. Do you think that my iPad is hurt?
What can I do? Ay recommendation?
Please, HELP ME!

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. You may also want to swap out the cable, just to confirm or rule out that it's bad.
If none of those fixes work, make the appointment at your apple store and have them check it out.

Ipad mini battery problems

hello i have a ipad mini and recently i have been having some problems with it for around one week, i normally leave it charging through the night and when i wake up my ipad says that my battery is at 100% when i take it of the charger it says 99%. so i restart it and the ipad says that the battery is back to 100% (this happens every single morrning)
now this morrning i woke up and my battery was 100% so i took it of the charger and said it was on 99% i went to have a shower and when i came back the ipad was displaying that i had 88% so i restarted it and it said that i had 88% not 100% even though it had no use while i was in the shower.
so how can a battery drop that much in 30 mins
PLEASE HELP ME!!

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%.
