I-pad does not charge

My I-Pad does not charge and does not turn on

My iPad two will not charge from my MacBook Pro, nor will it charge from an older iMac. It will charge from my Mac Pro and other Mac's I've connected it to. Tried various cables, different USB ports on MacBook Pro, and I still get "not charging" messing in top right, next to battery icon. It's an Intel MBP, what's wrong?

My IPad Retnia does not charge when plugged in using the USB from my computer to car adapter, how can I fix this to be able to have flexibility in charging?

When I plug me IPad into the USB connector to my laptop or into my car charger, it show as not charging. How can I fix this so that I can charge my Pad in these settings?

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.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
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%.

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 is my i pad 2 not charging

why is my i pad 2 not charging?

You need to give details about what you are doing to charge it because without any info i would say something like 'because it is not plugged in' because I have no clue of the situation.
So what is it plugged to? Computer? Wall? Car? With the original/official charger or a cheap copy? How do you see it's not charging? Is it just off or do you see a not charging sign?

IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

hi, i am having problems with my ipod nano first generation, it started when i backdated my ipod as i could not connect it to my powerbook and i could not install the latest edition of itunes, but now i have installed the latest edition of ituens and i have updated my ipod as well but it still does not charge, i have tried to plug the usb into a socket and plug it into the wall and it charges for a bit but then it just displays the screen and stops chrging, sometimes it displays the battery on its own, sometimes it makes a buzzing sound and sometimes charges but while charging it says that i do not have anymore battery power, could someone please help it would be much appreciated!!!! thank you!!

I'm having the same problem, my ipodnano is about a year old and I can't figure out what to do. I just installed the new itunes on my new laptop with vista premium. I'm desperate for a resolution, do you have any suggestions at all. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

HT1476 iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue?

iphone 5 usb does not charge in my 2013 Honda Accord. Is there a fix for this issue? It will connect via bluetooth but when I go to connect the usb charger it states that it is not compatible or you never get the charging display on your iPhone 5. It charges just fine when I use the AC charger in the house. At first I thought it may have been the cord but the same cord works fine in the house too. This causes problems when you take long trips and don't have any way to charge your phone while on the road. Are there any upcoming fixes/iupdates either to the software or usb cord that will fix this?

My iphone does not charge or show up as a device in itunes when i plug it into my computer

I've never had a problem connecting my phone to the computer, but in the last two or so weeks I have been unable to sync or charge my iphone 4 through my MacBook Pro (OSX). The phone does not charge and it does not show up in the "devices" section of itunes. The cord charges through an AC adaptor with no problems and my USB ports all work fine. I have done everything suggested so far, including deleting podcasts, restarting my computer, restarting the phone, uninstalling and reinstalling itunes... I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions would be very welcome!

I removed the AMDS as part of the instructions for completely removing itunes. Nothing changed unfortunately. I don't understand why it is happening!
I have already checked for lint, etc as you suggested, but don't have another USB cable on me at the moment. I'll be returning home tomorrow so will try then, but I would have thought the cable was fine as it still charges the phone through an AC adaptor fine. Thanks for the suggestions!

My I PAd is not charging

My ipad is suddenly not charging

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.)

Lenovo G550 does not charge battery!!!! please help!!!!! :c

So i havent used my Lenovo for about a year and a half because i had lost the originial charger. ive recently bought a new cheap charger from amazon and thought it was the charger that was the problem when i looked it up online and found out it may be a bug from Windows 7. Now, this charger does turn on my laptop, but it does not charge it. It simply says "plugged in, not charging" and when i was reading an article on how to fix this , i was trying for hours to uninstall a program under device management called Microsoft ACPI- Compliant Conntrol Method Battery, because it was said that uninstalling this would help the system charge again. but after countless hours, i found that the program reinstalls itself and i am left with a laptop that just wont charge. my laptop says 0% (plugged in, not charging) and i really need this to work for the upcoming school year. i dont know what else to do! whenever i disconnect the wire the system completely shuts down and if i dont fix this problem ill just have to get rid of my Lenovo G550, which i absolutely LOVE! please, anyone help me! do i need to install a new version of windows? do i need to uninstall something? or is my laptop absolutely done for?
please, please, please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi Chernandez51,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
From your observation, it seems like the battery was fully discharged after not being for a long time (batteries degrade overtime due to age, heat, and usage).
What you can try is to charge the battery for an hour or two while the computer is off then observe the status light indicators.
- Link to picture
If the battery still doesn't take a charge then the battery might have gone faulty and needs a replacement.
For best compatibility, I recommend you use a Lenovo approved AC adapter and charger. You can buy one from the lenovo spare parts website (www.lenovospareparts.com) or you can buy online (eg. Amazon, Ebay, etc.) but ensure that there's a Lenovo FRU part number on the item..

I have 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car and 30 to lighting cable and adapter plays audio but does not charge. Is there a fix

My 30 pin dice silverline ipod kit in my car worked fine with my old iphone. it charged and played audio. I bought both 30 pin to lighting (cable and adapter) from Apple store but it does not charge. It only play audio. I have verified that both adapter and cable are working fine. Is there anything to fix this?

Apple sells a 30 pin to lightning pin adapter - you can find it on the Apple on;line store - or Amazon sell 3rd party one - but if it didnt works with your 4S which also has a 30 pin input - there may be something else wrong

The iPad Mini does not charge using a laptop

My brand new iPad Mini does not charge using my macbook pro, but it does when is connected to de ac power wall adapter !!!

That is the way is is supposed to work. Your MBP does not supply enough power to charge the battery efficiently. It may be charging, but at a trickle rate and it will show as not charging. That is why a power adapter is included with the iPad. Use it.
Read more about charging the battery here.
