Why won't my ipad charge from my computer when my iphone does? also where have my facetime and contacts icons gone?

A computer USB port does not provide enough power to charge and run the iPad at the same time but it will charge it if the iPad is turned off. It will take about four times as long to charge than with the iPad charger.
The Contacts icon may be inside a folder, such as Utilities.
There is no Facetime icon. Start a Facetime link from a contact.

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

Are you using the same apple ID and password?
it seems all is in order, but perhaps the password isn't valid.
if the reset didn't work, try signing out of iTunes and App Store, then back in.
have you tried going to App Store - purchased and tapping on the cloud icon for the apps you want? You will still be asked for your password.

Great question! This is a feature not available yet in the iphone devices. Precise location is not available, only course location. Learn more about the feature https://wbillpay.verizonwireless.com/vzw/nos/safeguards/SafeguardProductDetails.action?productName=familylocator .

TS3274 Why won't my iPad charge? My iPhone will.

My iPads won't charge.. My iPhone will. Went to Apple store and had updates done today. Any suggestions?

I tried everything. I found 1 of my 4 connectors works!so I was able to charge everything. 2 chargers are Apple and 2 are "no names"...figure they are broken or defective in some way. Guess I will only buy authentic Apple components from now on.
I appreciate your input. Thanks!

TS3274 Why won't my iPad charge when I connect it to my computer?

I just got an iPad and I can charge it with the wall charger it came with, but unlike my iPod touch when I plug it into my computer it won't charge. I'm confused as to why it won't.

The iPad battery requires more power to recharge than the iPod and the USB port on the computer does not supply sufficient power to charge it. Apple recommends that you use the supplied power adapter and plug it into a wall socket.

TS3274 Why won't my Ipad charge?

My Ipad is plugged into the wall outlet. but when I plug it into the Ipad itself, it won't charge the Ipad.
I have changed charges several times. Getting very expensive to do this.
What is going on here?

Why won't some music sync from iTunes to my iPhone 5?

I have purchased several items from the iTunes store with no trouble syncing and playing on my iPhone 4. Recently I purchased two iPhone 5's for myself and my son. His phone is synced to my iTunes account and can play all content. My phone initially synced all my music and comedy albums. Occasionally I would come across a song my iPhone music player refused to play. I would touch the song name, briefly see the song/album and it would flip back to my playlist/song list without playing or it would skip to another song. Sometimes skipping several songs in between and flashing quickly the song title.
To rectify this, I researched the problem on the forums and tried one of the suggestions of right clicking on the song in iTunes, converting the song to AAC and then deleting the original and re-syncing. After powering down and re-syncing, the 173 non-synced songs out of 808 purchased songs were no longer even on my phone.
I accessed the iTunes store through the app on my phone, found the non-downloaded songs in the cloud and manually downloaded them to my phone. Although I couldn't put them in the playlists I had created on iTunes (where they are checked and the playlist is checked for syncing) I did have them on my phone and they played perfectly. After my phone was plugged into a power source with iTunes open and my phone synced, the songs were once again missing from my phone.
I contacted Apple support and we spent some time trying different things:
1) Selected tab under iTunes preferences for devices "Prevent iPhone from syncing automatically"
2) Reset all settings
3) Backed up my iPhone for a restore - which we never did.
I spoke then with a senior support consultant and we then:
1) Deleted the songs from my phone through Settings > General > Usage > Storage where my playlists remained but were empty.
2) We re-synced all my checked playlists. The songs were still missing.
3) On iTunes we selected "Sync all music". Songs were still missing.
4) Went to iTunes Store via iTunes on my Mac, looked up purchases and downloads, re-downloaded missing songs (there were only six of them and happened to be the ones that I converted to AAC).
5) Created new "Test" playlist and dragged two of the missing iPhone songs into it. Synced phone to include new playlist. Playlist appeared but was empty.
I had purchased two John Pinette comedy albums. One entire album will not sync and on the second, only two of the thirteen "songs" will sync. The support person asked if I wanted to change all of the m4a songs to mp3 and was going to show me how but when viewing the John Pinette "Still Hungry" album where the first and last song synced, they show the file ends with m4a, as do all of the songs that won't sync. This leads me to conclude that the file type isn't the issue, but that there is something corrupted with certain files from the iTunes store or a glitch that is incompatible with the IOS 6.1.
Has anyone else had a similar problem and have you been able to rectify it?

I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

Why won't my ipad charge properly?

So I'm trying to figure out something strange with my ipad (ipad 4). Whenever I charge it at home via the regular wall charger its fine and charges away as per normal, however whenever I charge it at uni it just barely charges. On 3 separate occassions in different buildings around campus I had it plugged in, and today for example I had it plugged in for nearly 2 hours and it charged 3% ... when it's charging at home it's probably almost fully charged. I don't understand why it takes so long somewhere but not somewhere else. I thought the problem could be the uni itself, the power running through the place, but no one else I know has any problems.
I should make it totally clear, this is charging via the wall charger, not via a computer (which I know also barely charges it at all).
So I really have no idea what is causing it, if it was not charging properly anywhere then I'd just figure there's something wrong with it. But it's the fact it charges fine at home which really confuses me. I mean right now in the time it took me to type all of this its charged 1%, that's a 3rd of the charge it got after 2 hours at uni haha
Anyone come across anything similar? Ideas?

Hi,
Can I just ask if it syncs okay? I had a problem where it was not recognised by any computer.
From what you have said, I think it is that the iPad requires lots of power to charge - this means ports like USB 3.0 and Superspeed USB ports are the only ones that work (apart from the wall).
Hope this helps!

Why won't my ipad charged when plugged into a computer?

I have a new ipad and for some reason it will sync etc when plugged into one of our computers but it won't charge.
My husbands one charges in the same USB port and on any computer but when I put my ipad into the same ports it says "not charging"why?
Thank you

Most computer USB ports don't have enough power to charge an iPad. Typically, the iPad can only be charged with the supplied adapter. If your husband's iPad is actually charging, it's charging very, very slow.
See p. 33-34 of the User Guide.

Why won't my iPad charge?

I have not been able to find this problem on any forum anywhere.
After the 5.1.1 OS update my iPad quit charging or syncing. There is clearly a problem with the connector port.
I thought it was eventually going to run out of battery and that would be the end. But, if I power it down and plug in the charge cable
It boots up, but still doesn't charge. So the connector port is working a little bit. Then, I plugged in the cable and powered down the iPad over night.
In the morning it was fully charged. I have been limping along like this for a couple weeks now. I just charge it every night. But I have still lost functionality
As I can't use it in the car anymore or sync with the cable and iTunes, or if I'm running low on battery I can't just plug it in and keep using it. It only charges if I plug in the cable and then power it down.
Any suggestions?
It is iPad 1, 64 gig, 3G

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.

Why won't my ipad charge or power on?

I have had my iPad plugged into the charger for over a day and it will not power up and now it won't turn on. I have put it into my computer charger, too and it just seems dead. What do I do?

Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Why won't my iPad restore from the backup?

I reset all my settings and I had to answer the questions. I wanted to manage my storage, but now it says i can't untill it restores from the backup.

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.
