IPad 2 and Mini Charger

I'm looking for a charger that (a) plugs into the wall, (b) handles both items and/or an iPhone, and (c) is very compact. I saw a credit-card sized charger for one item but it was sold out. I looked into Morphie but it charges via USB. USB is not good for me

There's this
http://www.zagg.com/accessories/zaggsparq.php?default=6000
which is about 4 x 2 inches (it's battery and charger)
although this may be closer (and it's 1/4th the price of the zagg, although the zagg is also a backup battery charger)

Looking for working iPad 3 Mini Charging Cable

Hello Team,
I Bought a Native Union XL Cable for my iPad 3 Mini in the hope it would have worked but to no avail that’s not the cables fault but maybe Apple, Does anyone know of a charging cable longer than 2 Meters that does work or is Apple going to make a longer cable? Or authorize a company to make a cable, like Belkin, Native Union, Mophie and many other companies.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
Darren Smith

Hello Tim
I plug it into a socket on the bulkhead but there is only 2 sockets in the cabin but its not the socket that the problem its the cable as if i use the cable that it came with with a multi use plug it works but when you sleep in the top rack its an effort to get out to charge it hence why i bought a 3 meter cable

Got a new IPAD and was charged 200.00 for all apps previsouly purchased!. Has anyone else had this issue? I went thru the appstore and clicked on already purcahed apps and "installed" them on my new IPAD and got about 50 charges all at once from ITUNEs

After setting up my new IPAD2 I went into the APPStore and noticed there was an already purchased section, which showed all my previous purchases I had made and installed on my IPAD I. IT gave me the option to "install" them onto my IPAD2 and there was not visual "COST" associated with it and it never prompted me for a charge althought I had to enter my account password each time. Additionally I didn't get any emails like you usually do when buying an app. A few days later, BAM! 50 charges or so totalling upwards to 200 bucks with no description other than ITUNES on my bank account so I can't even tell which apps they were for. Is part of the public BETA cloud testing?! I hope to god not, it caused my bank account to go negative and now I have many NSF charges. I can NOT affort this. I know apple has a disclaimer "No refunds" under any circumstance. But as far as I"m concerned. THIS IS THEFT!
Please note the IPAD os version is 4.3.3 (8J2) which isn't a drop down option for my OS below... Figures.

More update on y situation. Now on both the IPAD and IPAD2 I can not got to view my purchase History, it says it can not connect to the ITUNES store, but yet I can still d/l apps and can view my account etc etc etc.

I'm trying to decide whether to buy ipad or cheaper tablet. What is retina display and what is diff betw ipad and mini with only wifi? What is mini missing?

I'm trying to decide on tablet to buy -- what is the difference between mini and ipad? What is retinal display? Why do some have wifi only and some have wifi cellular? Why would I need cellular?
I keep hearing that apple computers don't pick up viruses like pc (of which I have had my fair share) so that is why I am considering -- but there are some really attractive deals for cheaper tablets.

A simple answer to a loaded question? Not here!
1.     For starters, I can't recommend the newest iPad AIr or iPad Mini. The previous versions worked perfectly though if you want to go the Apple route. That alone will save you a few bucks. Best Buy undercuts Apple prices by a few $$ and has bonus sales around this time of year.
2.   You get what you pay for. I like the Samsung Galaxy Tabs a lot. Good hardware and software. App store has plenty to offer. You also have size options like you do with Apple.   Since I have the Galaxy S3 phone, the Galaxy tabs are very familiar. The Surface (smaller one) is big for a tablet, it works great, but is subject to the frailties that plague PCs to some degree.   I don't like the keyboard, but do like the kickstand.   I don't know about the availability of Apps for the Surface, I think it may be a major downside to the device. The Surface is not cheaper than iPad either. As for the cheaper Tablets, they will be in the landfill before Apple introduces a new gadget (that's pretty often....)   The Kindle is still primarily, an eReader.
3.   Wifi or wifi and cellular - If you have a smart phone and can tether a tablet, you don't need cellular on the tablet. With more places offering free hot spots, wifi is more than adequate. ( I use very little cellular on my mini)
4.    iTunes and the App store; I will start by saying I am cheap. If the App isn't free, it has to be really valuable to me or I won't buy it. I paid for Pages on my iPad 2 years ago and I bought a password wallet that syncs on all my devices on all platforms. Aside from that I buy music to add to the CDs I imported to iTunes. If you don't like iTunes and don't want to use it, keep looking at android tablets.
5.    ios 7 - Never has Apple made such a big deal and been so poorly prepared to introduce a new ios. It has devoted Apple heads steamed. I count myself one and have had no problems with my devices, educated user I hope, or just really lucky.
6.    I really USE my tablet. I use it for work, for financial management and communications. I rarely have to resort to the desktop as almost everything is possible on the iPad. I love it's portability! Documents and data flow back and forth with the cloud I never worry about losing anything or finding anything. Photos download automatically from my Android smart phone with Dropbox App and are instantly available to load on all devices.
7.    If you are a big PC hacker type, the switch to ios is culture shock. The first time on the new iMac I was at my wits end trying to navigate. I only had to stop working so hard and it all fell into place.
My personal experience:
    I have the iPad 2, (wifi only) and the first mini (with 4G LTE) and I had a 4th generation iPod touch and now have a 5th Gen iPod touch (which I really like a lot). My son has an iPhone 4S and the iPad with retina display. Both my sons have had iPods through the years.
   My 50 year old eyes prefer the bigger screen of iPad 2 and typing is much easier. But I love the portability of the smaller tablet, so one for home, one for the road. Thanks to iCloud what ever is on one is also on the other, documents, data, contacts, etc.   Retina display, my son has it, I don't, I can't say I miss it. It does make pictures look better, if you are a photo person, the retina display is worth it.
I also have transitioned from PC to Apple completely, I bought an iMac 4 years ago and it is as fast as it was on day one, no crashes, repairs, viruses. I just bought a Mac Mini and I also use Apple Airport extreme for router and I have an Apple TV (the only disappointment, I prefer the Roku 2)
I'm sure that was more than you asked for.....

What is the advantage to connecting iPad and mini thru Bluetooth

What is the advantage to pairing my iPad with my Mac Mini?

None, as you won't be able to achieve much by doing so. Bluetooth on the iPad is mainly for headphones and keyboards - supported profiles : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647

My ipad is not going past the logo screen and it shuts down when I have battery, then it says I need to charge it. I am charging it but it isn't charging. Then my ipad isn't charging (doesn't say not charging) I've tried everything!

First, my ipad wasn't charging. Then it shuts down when I have 7% battery, now when I turn it on, it says to charge it. And when I do charge it, it doesn't work. Now, I did it once it worked. Now I can't get past the logo screen and when I do it shuts right off again. Please help!

Hi InternetHogger,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that situations where you cannot boot your iPad and cannot charge your iPad can be very frustrating. In this situation, I would recommend using the attached article as a reference for troubleshooting.

HT4060 My ipad mini wont charge I bought a new charger since the old one didn't charge my ipad and the same problem is happening i charged it over night and when I woke up it said 50% soo can someone help me this is my first apple product a

Well my ipad mini isn't charging.. I with the original charger it didn't show the charging sign when plugged in.. And I bought a new one a 12:00 one from bath bed and beyond. Now it ain't charging again even thought it did a few days ago.. Now I don't know what to do.. I don't wanna keep buying chargers..

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%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.htmlhttp://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.

My iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.

IPad Mini Charge issue and Other

Alright so here is the deal, A couple of months ago, my apple lightning charge cord was ruined. I have had my iPad Mini for over a year now, so its not like I got it yesterday. I had not had a problem with it with the exception that sometimes videos play the audio normally but the display is like one frame per five seconds. That's besides the point, this morning when I woke up, the battery was at 9% and of course I plugged it in to charge. When I plugged it in, no ding noise to inform me its charging, no little lightning bold near the battery, nothing. nada. zip. I was just about to flip my lid, (Because this is a new charger and no where near as used as the previous) I decided to proceed to my moms room and grab her iPad mini and connect it to my charger. Low and behold, it began to charge. So, I decided, "Ok well maybe there is a connection issue." I took My iPad into her room and connected my iPad to her charger. IT began to charge.
This is extremely annoying, and I decided to connect my iPad to my computer with her cord, to grab my photos. Thinking ahead of time, to say worst case scenario that I would have to restore it or something. Alright, so I was hesitant to connect my iPad mini to my computer since last time, it put a ungodly amount of apps I had not used since three years ago and since then deleted (From my iPod Touch) along with several photos. After this had happened I had deleted the apps, but when I went to delete the photos it would not allow it. I would select and it would not give me the option to delete. Since, I did connect it to the itunes in my computer it did some funky stuff and then when it asked to back up i said "sure back it up from cloud." Cause why not right. It got about halfway through before it said "Oh there is a problem with your crap." To which I reply "Dude come onnn of all days! I just want to relax and listen to music cause I just upchucked twice and dont feel good." The iPad mini didn't care.
All joking aside, I've come to the conclusion that there is something a little more wrong with my device other than it wont charge with the charger I had just bought it, even though it had been charging with it for the last couple of months.

my laptop and my mobile is working,why not ipad mini .......sometimes the name of wifi appers and when i try to enter password of the wifi ,it says sorry unable to join the network ......what is the simple and best solution for this

Why does ipad mini charge to 90% and stop charging?

Even with overnight charge, my ipad mini charges to max 90%. Sometimes, it gets to 100% but its rare. Is it a bug. Should I upgrade IOS or something.

I got the similar problem before and hope the following can help.
One day night, I suddenly decided to use the charger of my iPhone 3GS to charge my problematic new iPad Mini that has 90% charging problem. It has the same appearance and same output (5V , 1A) as the charger came with my new iPad Mini. Strangely, I found it worked and could fully (100%) charge my iPad Mini at one go when I waked up next early morning. I guess the 90% charge problem is probably due to some problematic chargers instead of iPad Mini.
As it takes time to spend the battery power and charge another times using different chargers to prove whether the problem is due to the charger, I don't know if my finding is a real solution. I hope any one, if meets the problem, can try himself/herself by using another charger (say from iPhone 3 or 4 or even from another iPad Mini) to see if the problem is really from charger.
I hope that your result can be shared with me.
If at the end the problem is proved from individual charger, replace it to solve.

I get home after buying my ipad mini play with it for a bit then try to sync my songs, movies and photos on and it syncs fine. I then look back at the ipad and seem to find on the top right saying " not charging "
