HT1766 why won't my ipad 2 charge?
Cannot charge my i pad?
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%.

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 air charge anymore? I bought a new cable but it still doesn't charge, it is only 3 months old.
If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty. -
Why won't my Ipad 3 charge from my computer?
I can charge my Wifi IPad 3 from my outlet but it won't charge from my computer, does anyone know how to fix this?
Your computer probably doesn't provide sufficient current through the USB port to charge the iPad, or charges it only very slowly. Unless you can install a different USB card that provides more current, if any exist that would work in your system, there's nothing you can do other than use the AC adapter.

Why won't my iPad 2 charge above 50%?
I recieved my iPad 2 as a gift in October of 2011. Up until now I've had no problems. Yesterday I had depleted my battery to about 7%, so I plugged it in for at least 4 hours while I went for a walk. When I came back the gauge said only 50%. I used it again and ran it to about 15% and plugged it in overnight; this morning it still says only 50%. The icon is showing that the battery is charging, but it's still depleting as I use it. Tried shutting down and restarting; still losing battery. I even tried shutting down all my apps (except Safari so I can research this); same thing. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is nearly 300 miles away, thankfully I'll be heading in that direction soon if I can't resolve this on my own.
Are you using the wall charger?

I am having trouble with my iPad to be charged please can someone reply a good strategy that would help it ? I need it for school tomorrow
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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.

Why won't my ipad 2 charge on laptop when in dock
It says 'not charging' in the top right hand corner.
Can anyone help please?Ipad requires high power USB port for battery charging and obviuosly your laptop USB is not. Although it shows not charging, it does charge but very slowly if you turn off the screen.
Please refer to Apple Support article:

I lost the original usb cord that plugged in to the 10w wall jack and any other cord I use wont work. I've only found ONE charger that works with my iPad and it's my friends car charger for her iPhone which I can't use on a regular basis. I tried to call support but apparently I have to pay 30 dollars to talk to someone, so in hope of some resolution to my problem I am coming to the forums.
Thanks for anyone who can helpRJQuillen wrote:

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. -

Does the wall charger successfully charged other devices like iPad, iPhones?
There are some complaints, that the 10W iPad wall charger does not charge iPod Classic, as it is too high power, Claasic need 1Amp max, but the iPad Charger gives 2 Amp.

Have you got a friend who has the same phone, you could try to use their adapter and see if you could get it fixed. Also you could upgrade the iOS5 see if it fixes the issue. http://www.itjungles.com/iphone-tips/iphone-4s-update-to-ios5-to-fix-battery-pow er-issue

Why won't my ipad 1 download an entire purchased tv episode?
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer. -

Why won't my MACBOOK PRO charge anymore
Why won't my MACBOOK PRO charge anymore, I am living in China and my 8 month old MACBOOK PRO won't take a charge!! It has now gone flat and I am out of a computer. I bought a new charger but that didn't work. This is ridiculous!!
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To check that the battery is damaged, open System Information or System Profiler (in /Applications/Utilities), choose Power in the sidebar, and copy here "Charge Information" and "Health Information". You can also check your battery status in the battery menu, on the menu bar. If its status is Replace Now or Service Battery, take your MacBook Pro to an Apple Store or reseller to have the battery replaced for free.
If you don't see any of those messages, do a SMC reset > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
