HT201412 when ipad is connected to power over night and battery is still at 5%?

Why did i charge my ipad over night and yet the battery strentgh remained only 5% when i opened it on my laptop?

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.
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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • Automatically sync when iPad is connected

    is it possible to automatically sync when iPad is connected? I don't get the choise of marking a checkbox like the one I get on my iPhones summary-tab.
    What I'm using:
    iPhone 5 iOS 7 GM
    iPad 3 iOS 7 GM
    iTunes 1.1b48
    iPhone
    iPad

    I'm puzzled. In itunes, when my iPhone is connected to my Mac and the iPhone selected in the left hand pane, after then clicking on the Summary tab at the top of my screen, in the Options section below there is a check box I can select to "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". However, when I follow the same procedure with my iPad there is no checkbox to "Automatically sync when this iPhone is connected". It's just not there. Instead I see "Open iTunes when this iPad is selected".
    If there is a setting in the Summary Tab to automatically sync an iDevice - I have never seen it. Yes there is a preference in iTunes to allow the devices to auto sync - but the setting in iTunes is for iTunes to open automatically when the device is connected. That setting is greyed out if you turn off auto sync in the iTunes preferences. There is also a setting to sync over WiFi and you have to enable that if you want to sync over WiFi - but not automatically sync over WiFi.
    There is no setting on the iPad itself for auto syncing. There is a statement at the top of the iTunes WiFi sync setting that states the device will auto sync when plugged in, etc. - but no button to turn on Auto Sync on the iPad.
    The iTunes Helper login item is if you cannot get iTunes to auto launch when your devices are connected. It should be enabled in that setting - iTunes Helper should be checked.

  • Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected?

    Why does iTunes no longer open automatically when iPad is connected? and iPhone as well?  Setting to "auto open" is selected, but iTunes will not open automatically. Problem seems to have begun with upgrade to Lion.

    Good luck getting an answer...I posted the same question a day ago.   I can only assume it's a glitch in iTunes 10.5.

    I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!

    You won't believe this but a friend of mine (who happens to be an Apple Genius) told me to put a towel or cloth on a sturdy countertop (I know this may sound weird) but hold the selct button (in the center) and menu part of the wheel at the same time until an Apple logo comes up on the screen and then quickly turn the ipod on it's side and wack it on the counter where the towel is so as not to damage anything cosmetically. It seems the clicking is the hard drive reader is stuck and this dislodges it. Mine works now (no clicking) and all seems to be well again. Who knew?

  • Will charging my iPhone 4S with iPad 4th generation 12w power adapter, ruin my battery?

    Situation: my iPhone 4S is 4 months old, have had ZERO issues with battery life, until yesterday...
    I just bought the newest iPad last week (retina display) and yesterday I plugged the iPhone 4s usb cable into the iPad 12w power adapter, to charge my 4s. Now my iPhone 4S is losing 1% every 4-5 minutes (not exaggerating, in fact it may be draining even faster than that). This is occurring even though all programs are closed and the phone is locked (screen is black)... Normally my battery will lose 5-10% while I sleep, last night it was dead within 5 hours !
    I'm pretty disappointed becuz it seems I have ruined the battery. Can anyone think of any other reason for this to be happening?
    In an attempt to rule out any software issues or potential malware, I backed up my 4s, put it in recovery mode and proceeded with a factory restore. Following that I restored from backup. To my dismay the freefall battery drainage is continuing :(
    What are my options (if any) apart from heading over to apple store tomorrow to get bent over a barrel? Any help would be appreciated ....
    Many thanks and happy holidays !

    Okay it's been 15 minutes and battery is still at 100%.
    I have ton of apps and music as well as photos etc... I'm using 58Gb. So getting my stuff back on is a top priority. The only thing I did on the 24th (day the problem started) that I can think of, was register with talkatone (googles VoIP App). I'm thinking I delete that App from iTunes before restoring from backup?
    Your help is much appreciated!

  • HT201356 I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist?

    I have accidentally deleted my alternate iCloud (email) address. Are there any possibilities to retrieve it back because my iPad is connected to that email address, and now, I can't log out from it on my iPad, because it doesn't exist.
    I have alternate icloud email attached to my iPad and I accidentally delete it from appleid.apple.com. And now I can't log out that iCloud account because it doesn't exist and it can't recognize my password.

    If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple IDand that ID is a previous version of your current ID, not an entirely different one.
    This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
    However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details and some other circumstances.
    The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device. It may take a short while to remove the account.
    You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

    My phone turned off over night and will not turn back on even when plugged in. Is there anything that I can do?

    If you've left the phone plugged in for at least a half-hour with no results, then try holding power and home buttons simultaneously to do a soft reset (settings) only. If that doesn't work, try seeing if iTunes will recognize the device and let the computer charge the device.

  • HT1657 How do I watch my iTunes rented movie on my iPad I downloaded it over night and now I can't find it

    I have downloaded a movie through iTunes onto my iPad over night and now I can't find it its not under iTunes purchases like my music is and I don't know where else to look for it and I don't know how to play it. Help?

    It should be in the Videos app - iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store, so videos and tv shows should be in the Videos app and music and audiobooks in the Music app

  • Losing much power over night

    My iPhone4 is beginning to lose power really fast. The last two days, I have charge my battery to almost 100% before I go to sleep. Next morning my phone drop about 20%(over 7 Hour) of is power. And at the end of the day my phone has about 10-20% power left.
    In the night the only things there are activated is the Wifi. Before these two days, my iPhone only lost between 2-5% power over night.
    In the last two days, I haven't use my phone so much. I have been sending some few Text message, been 20 min on the internet, game 15 min and 2 hours of music.
    And it can be right that this can drain my iPhone to almost zero power.
    It there other than me, that have that problem?
    Or i someone know how to fix this problem?

    Before you go to bed;
    Double click the Home button
    Then tap and hold on any open App(they will start to giggle)
    Now tap the Red Minus on ALL the open App Icons to shut them off
    Click the Home button once again to get back to your Home Screen
    See if that helps. If not, try turning off Push Notifications in Settings. You probably have a screwy App using up all your battery.

  • I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success!  I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported

    I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success!  I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported! Why is it taken so long and seem to stop but the activity status goes up ever so slowley???? Im using an iMac  7,1   2.4 GHz with 6GB of memory running 10.8.2 what am I doing wrong???

    Rendering will take a very long time  - I once needed 6 hours for a shorter high definition movie with plenty of effects.
    What theme are you using and what settings?
    The "places" theme needs a good network connection.
    And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space.
    And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space. Have you checked the available  space on your disk?
    What exactly happens when Aperture fails to render the movie? Are there any diagnostics, error messages in the console window, that relate to Aperture? Does Aperture alway stop at the same image or video clip?
    if all fails, you could render your slideshow in two parts and combine the two videos on your DVD.

  • I shut my iphone off over night and tried to turn it back on the next day and it would not turn on... or charge or anything.....anyone know what causes this..or what happened??

    pleas help me out my iphone 5c is only a month old...i shut it off over night and went to turn it back on the next day and it wouldn't turn on or charge or anything.....

    Plug it in to wall power.  If it doesn't automatically come on within 15 minutes, try a Reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.  You might need to hold the buttons for as long as a minute.
    If it still doesn't turn on, you likely have a hardware problem.
