HT1296 What is causing my iPad 3 not to be charging via USB, even if I connect it to a USB 3.0 port?

What is causing my iPad 3 not to be charging via USB, even if I connect it to a USB 3.0 port?

iPad Charging
"The fastest 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.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
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."

  • What would cause my keyboard not to respond on a laptop connected to a monitor?

    What would be the cause to my keyboard not responding when I start my computer. I am on a MacBook that is connected to a monitor and initially the keyboard does not respond. Periodicall when switching from the laptop USB, which I did for functionality, to the monitor USB, it solves the issue. But the issue recurs on a daily basis. Anyone have an idea? I am thinking it's a configuration issue but I am not an expert. The monitor was swapped out thinking it was the USB ports but it is occurring on the substituted monitor as well.

    Hey robofife,
    This article has some instructions for you regarding the use of an external keyboard in closed clamshell mode on your computer:
    Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
    If you are using a wired keyboard and mouse:
    Make sure the computer is plugged in to an outlet using the AC power adapter.
    Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to your computer.
    With the computer turned on connect the Mac notebook (using the appropriate Apple adapter if necessary) to the appropriate port on the external display or projector and turn the display or projector on.
    After your computer's Desktop appears on the external display, close the computer's lid.
    When you close the lid:
    In OS X Lion and later, the external display will change to a blue screen, then will show your desktop.
    In Mac OS X v10.6.8 and earlier, wake the computer up by clicking the mouse button or by pressing a key on your external keyboard.
    You should now be able to use your Mac notebook as you normally would, with a USB keyboard and mouse.
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

  • What would cause the flash not to fire?

    What would cause 580ex not to fire?

    Can you be more specific?
    When you power it on, you should get a red Pilot light when it's ready to fire.  If you press the light (it's a button) it should test-fire the flash.  That will confirm the flash actually works.
    You can tell the camera to disable the flash... this is useful when you just want to use the flash's focus-assist beam to help the camera lock focus, but do not actually want the flash to fire.  Check your camera menu... probably under "External Speedlite Control" -> "Flash Firing" and check that it is set to "Enable".

  • What would cause iphone to not turn on?

    Recently my iphone 5 started freezing up when left charging overnight. I must hold home and power button for ten seconds to wake up. What would cause this?

    Standard troubleshooting...
    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.
    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.
    If still a problem restore with your backup.
    If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • Ipad not syncing, only charges when off

    Disclamers: I use the larger original usb plug to charge (not a small iphone brick or my laptop). And a car adapter that is rated for iPad. There is no water damage. It was dropped a long time ago but has worked without problem before and since.
    Last week my iPad (1st Gen) stopped charging when I plugged it in. Nor is it recognised by iTunes when I plug it into my macbook pro. Here are the steps I've taken.
    1. Turned it off and on like this:
    "Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the  Apple logo appears."
    No help.
    2. Then I reset it like this (multiple times):
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    No help.
    3. Turned it off and plugged in the cord and it came on. Confirming that the cable is recognised by the device (hardware anyway). But when the lock screen appeared there was no lightening bolt in the battery confirming that it was not charging.
    4. Plugged in and turned it off and left it for a while. When I turned it back on by holding the Sleep/Wake button I had 5% more charge than when I started. I did the same thing last night (all night) and got it up to an 80% charge.
    5. This morning I did all of the above again with no luck so I went into Settings-> General-> Reset and "Reset All Settings" when it restarted it still did not show it was charging. So I did a reset again. No help.
    6. I then went back and did an "Erase All Content and Settings." with the same result.
    7. Updated Lion to 10.7.4 and iTunes to 10.6.1 (7). But it is still not recognised.
    So now, for all my troubleshooting effort I have an iPad with no info on it and no way to sync it.
    Can anyone see something else that I might try?

    For what it's worth, I have the same problem. It started a few days ago while on a trip.
    Now, charging is very slow (without the lightning bolt or even with a "Not Charging" message over/near the battery icon, tried three cables which all work with iPhone and 2 chargers + the computer), iTunes doesn't recognize the usb connection (I tried three cables which all work with my iPhone) but wifi sync works.
    I went through almost the same steps as you without luck.

  • IPad mini isn't charging via mains? Utter pisstake can someone help?

    My ipad mini has been charging fine via mains now it is not charging at all? Somebody help! Considering I payed three hundred odd quid for this!

    Could be the charger, the cable or possibly the iPad.
    Plug the cable into your computer. It should say "not charging" (it really is charging, but very slowly). If it does, the cable is good. Does the charger feel warm?
    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.)
    And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
    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%.
    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.

    Hi,
    here are some more informations about the problem.
    The root CA certificate is imported as trusted in the system keychain of the server and the client. A certificate evaluation returns "valid certificates, trusted ...".
    The client bind fails with this messages, e.g. Kerio Control is able the use LDAPS, so it seams just the problem with the trustability of the certificates. Keychain trusts the certificates, OD client bind not, this is not so consistent.
    Any idee?
    Thanks
    Henri

  • How to only show what is on my ipad, not everything in my library/cloud.

    since the ios 7 upgrade, my iPad is flooded with movies and tv shows that I have already watched and have removed from my iPad.
    I want to be able to see just what is present on my iPad, but I don't want to hide those items in iTunes on my mac.  I use my iPad mostly offline and the cloud items are distracting and make it hard to use.  Is there a toggle or something to see just what is currently present on my iPad?

    For Music:
    Settings > Music > turn off Show All Music
    For Videos:
    Settings > Videos > turn off Show All Videos

  • I have a Mac notebook and it says it's connected to wifi, but when I try to connect to any search engine it does not.  What is causing it to not actually connect.  My pc connects no problem.

    It seems that all apple products used in my house at times will not connect to our wifi.  It's hit and miss.  It says I am connected, but when you try to connect to any search engine it does not.  I have disconnected and reconnected the power to the dsl provider and to our wifi units.  I have rebooted the computers.  I have reentered the password.  Still no connection.   We do not have connectivity issues with our PC products.  Anyone have any answers for me?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • What is causing my iPad mini to crash.

    My iPad mini is crashing randomly.  Opening my google drive to read a document. Will open but then without warning will crash.  The same thing happens in FB. When I go to read a post or open a video link it shuts down and returns to the opening screen on the iPad .  I have tried shutting down the iPad and re starting it. Nothing changes.  Any suggestions?

    Try this  - 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/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • What would cause variable header not to refresh?

    I've looked over all the details.  Can't figure it out.
    I'm attaching screen shots so you can see I've defined and inserted everything properly.
    The header responds to the Part One written in the correct paragraph style and it responds to Part Two, ditto, but Part Three, which is exactly the same and One and Two doesn't "take."   I've applied my master to ALL PAGES

    Willi, it's not just the language problem, it's the "my inexperience" problem that makes it hard for me to understand you.
    I'm VERY inexperienced. I'm just trying to create a good looking PDF to send to Amazon, and unfortunately I have a deadline for this, so I'm working fast and for too many hours and not efficiently.
    The margins/border problem is not a problem for me since test pdfs look just fine.
    It may be creating problems with the flow of the text though that I'm not aware of.
    However, At this point, setting up a new layout is out of the question.  I've already done that three times.  I must get this to a proof-reader by Feb. 7
    Just tell me one thing -- if you can, VERY SIMPLY.  How do I link the PART THREE to the story so that it will show up in the variable header?
    Otherewise, I'll just have to create a new master to apply to part three with a fixed header instead of a variable.

  • HT1296 the content of my iPad not visible on my pc

    When I plug in my iPad to my pc windows 7 I am unable to view the contents of my IPad even though I have stored pictures, music and more on it. Help

    Where are you trying to see the content, on your computer's iTunes or windows explorer ? The iPad will only appear in windows explorer if there are photos on the iPad that were taken with it, copied to it via the camera connection kit or were saved from emails/websites - it will then be detected as a camera so that they can be copied off (copying photos off the iPad). No other content will be visible in windows explorer.
    If the iPad isn't appearing on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (do you have the current version of iTunes installed ?) then see if this troubleshooting page is any help : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • Why does my 5 month old iPad not hold a charge anymore

    I have had this iPad for 5 months and it now only work if it is plugged to the charger in the wall socket.  When I plug it to the computer to sync the computer cannot download the driver or power it on.  I changed the charge card to see if it had a short or something, but iPad does the same thing with new charge card.  It will not come on at all if it is not plugged. And when it is plugged to the charger in the wall socket it will recharge and then come on.  What is the problem? How do I fix it?

    take it into your local apple store and have them look at it. the 30 pin port on the iPad can go bad.

  • My ipad will no longer charge via wall or computer, wont turn on and i could not reset or restore please help

    i was updating apps when it froze. it would not let me do anything since then. i know the charger works because i have other apple products and it was opening to iphoto but not itunes

    If the reset doesn't work, you may have to force iPad into Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.
