I'm unable to charge my ipad2 by connecting it to laptop or desktop

I bought a ipad 2 from US.Now i'm in India.I'm unable to charge it by connecting it to laptop or desktop

Unless you have a high-powered USB port on your computer then it won't charge (not quickly anyway) - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
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.

  • Why iPad does not charge battery when is connected to my laptop?

    why ipad does not charge battery ehen is connected/sync to my laptop?

    Because most USB ports do not put out enough power to meet the iPad's minimum requirements. An iPad is best charged plugged into the wall with the supplied charger.

  • My Tablet A1000F charges but does not connect to the laptop.

    I need help i don't know what to do, I've tried resetting it, even connecting to other laptops, even different usb cords but it just wont let me connect to my lap top. so im asking for any ideas that will help me.

    Try connecting it to another laptop and see if it connects. If so, moat likely it a corrup driver file on the laptop. Uninstall corrupt driver using device manager and plug tablet to reinstall driver or you can also do a system restore.

  • Battery charging of ipad2 using USB cable

    I am unable to charge my ipad2 when attached via USB to any of my computers.  It states "not charging" on the ipad.  Are there any settings I need to change in order to charge via USB?

    Ipad 2 will charge with usb cable even it show "not charging" it just take a longer time because regular usb port does not give out 10w, let connected overnight and you'll see its charging...
    or you can install a software called ai_chargexxx (i forget the full name) on your PC, just google it
    This is not correct.  If the battery icon on your iDevice doesn't show the lightning bolt, it isn't charging no matter how long you leave it on there.  Most accessory USB ports on computers aren't powered and are bus-powered drawing power from the computers USB interface without a seperate power hookup.  That aside, for devices the require more power than this, they will not work with this type of USB, as in the iPad.  Most USB's that have the juice to power anything are typically found on the back of the computer and typically only provide 500mA which again is pretty low.  That would charge it, but you might as well watch corn grow which would be faster.
    As for the software you speak of, not heard of it, but willing to check it out.

    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
    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.

    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.

  • If you are traveling in Europe, do you need both an adapter AND a voltage regulator to charge the IPad2 and the iphone? Or, the reverse, will it hurt either if I use both the adapter AND the voltage convertor?

    If you are traveling in Europe, do you need both an adapter AND a voltage convertoro charge the IPad2 and the iphone? Or, the reverse, will it hurt either if I use both the adapter AND the voltage convertor?

    You may only need adapters for the different kind of sockets, depending of the country you want to travel. A voltage converter is not needed.
    The Apple power units are multi voltage devices, supporting a range from 110 V to 240 V. as you can see on the labels. O.K. for most of the labels you need a magnifier, but its on them.

  • I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I was charging my iPad2 and when reaching 90% it just went black and can't be started again. Anyone that have had this problem and know what to do?

    I have had this problem several times. The iPad comes off charging with a black screen and only a hard reset works to get it back.  Then you have to go to settings to be sure nothing changed there.   
    I have had serveral hard resets and three restore operations and the problem recurs.  I am not sure if it is the iPad2 or an app that is causing the problem.   So far I can live with it as is.

  • Unable to charge Microphoto with USB AA Battery Char

    Hi All, Prior to purhcasing the microphoto, I went down to creative HQ store with my USB AA Portable Charger to test if my portable charger can charge the Microphoto.
    The staff were very helpful and let me test on unit, and also inform me that as long as I see a "lighting" icon on the top right corner, the microphoto is charging.
    After buying the microphoto, i find that I am unable to charge my microphoto with my AA charger.
    The "Lighting" icon is there but the battery indicator just does not increase.
    Kindly advise.
    My AA USB Charger looks like this

    I am unable to charge my IPAD on the computer and it says not charging. Tried on 2 computers but same issue. Any Suggestions?                   

    That's normal. Most USB ports dont' put out enough power to meet the iPad's requirements. (It says 'not charging' even though there is a trickle charge...it will charge over USB, but it'll take hours and hours)
    Your iPad is best charged with the supplied charger plugged into the wall.

  • TS2634 I am unable to charge my iPod touch at all. work.    by andon't want to lose everything I have.

    I am unable to charge my iPod touch at all. I have tried several different USB cables and none work. I am also unable to sync my iPod with iTunes and back up my purchases. What do I do? I could by another I pod but I don't want to lose everything I have on my present iPod.

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT1386 unable to sync my ipad2   receive an error message 1140 (unknown error)  HELP..don't want to have to go to the apple store to be able to sync my ipad to my desktop !!

    For some unknown reason, I am unable to sync my ipad2 with my desktop.  I receive a message saying it cannot sync due to an unknown error 1140.
    Hate to have to run to the apple store to get this resolved...hope someone here knows the answer !!  I need to sync !!
    Thank You.

    Experienced User Terrell Smith recently posted on this Error Code:
    Terrell Smith:
    "Today I was in an Apple Store, and four Apple Geniuses could not solve this problem. It seems to have something with large iPhoto Libraries, because when I started iPhoto up with a small library (1,100 photos), the problem did not occur. In iTunes, under the Photo's option "Sync Photos," if the iPhoto library is large (38,000 photos), the option to select the radio button "Selected albums, Events, and Faces" is grayed out, and you cannot select it.
    My guess is that since the large iPhoto library will not fit on your iOS device, iTunes throws the 1140 error.
    As others have noted, if you uncheck "Sync Photos" in iTunes, the rest of things will sync instead of throwing the 1140 error message.
    But you don't have synced photos then.
    The Apple Store told me they have no solution for this error. We should file iPhoto Feedback, and that this issue has been escalated to Apple Engineering."

  • I am unable to charge my MBPro....charging light not on, despite being plugged in

    I am unable to charge my MBPro. It is plugged in, but the L-type connector is not lighting up and seems loose......the computer is approx 1 1/2 yrs old...

    I don't think it is the charger, as this is the 2nd time this has occurred within the last 1 1/2 yrs........we changed the charger already and it was only temporary solution....
