IPad 2 charging issue.

While charging and laying on a flat surface (table) touch screen respond really strange. As soon as I take it in hands everything become usual. Is it normal? P.S. if its just laying on table and not charging it works normal as well.

Could it be something to do with the charger conection ? Try a different iPad charger and see if it still does the same thing. You could also try resetting your iPad. If it is still doing the same thing, take it into Apple and see if it does it in there store.

IPad 3 charging issues

I have had my shiny new iPad plugged in overnight with it's included iPad charger (it was displaying some context for some of that).
I have just woken up and it's only at 39%!!!! Now I know that it's meant to take longer to charge but that is unbelievable!?
As I said I'm using the lead and charger it came with, the only exception is I'm also using a usb extension lead inbetween as the plug is quite far away. I used the same lead with my iPad 2 every night and it charged fine and fast.
It also kept displaying not charging when plugged into my PC (which is definitely high powered ports).
Should I be booking a genius bar appointment do you think!?
Thanks!

This is a genuine issue and needs to be addressed.
Yesterday, launch day, I received a white AT&T 32GB 4G version, but I found the color distracting and AT&T lied to me and I got no signal at all where I live. I was actually able to take it to my local store midday and exchange it for a black Verizon model. The Verizon is screaming fast.
Anyway, they both have the same charging issues so this is a definite problem with all iPads, or the iPad chargers supplied. I believe Apple will have to send us all replacement chargers. While using my iPad, even plugged into the 10W charger and with the cellular data radio turned off, doing nothing more than typing on this very forum with all other apps closed, the battery drains at a rate of about 5% every half hour.... WITH THE CHARGER PLUGGED IN! The charger is active and the lightning bolt battery icon is up there. The iPad will only charge when the device is fully powered down. Even if it is in standby the unit will not charge when plugged in. This is either an OS bug that needs to be fixed or the charger supplied is not nearly adequate.
The iPad charger will charge my iPhone 4S rapidly, even when in use. It also charged my previous iPad 2 in a decent amount of time. But this 10W charger certainly does not charge the iPad while on, and the iPad certainly does not get 10 hours of use with or without the charger plugged in,
This is a serious issue and one that needs to be address promptly. Apple needs to send us all higher wattage chargers, issue an OS fix, or take care of whatever the problem is.
They also obviously didn't think the new iPad development through. The unit gets quite warm when in use and quite hot when the cellular is on. Also, the display does not get as bright as the iPhone 4S, and several people at the Apple Store agreed with me on all these issues.
Unless Apple wants to see a lot of returns and unhappy consumers, they need to fix this issue pronto. In the time it's taken me to type this post the power has gone down another 3%, with the charger plugged in and supposedly charging. Something is seriously wrong here.

IPad 3 charging issue... not your normal USB complaint.

So I took the plunge into iPad world and got the 64 gig Verizon 4g version. The night I got it ( Tuesday ) after playing with it for a while, I tried to plug it in overnight to charge it with the AC adapter. It wouldn't give me the charging acknowledgment on screen in the first two wall outlets I tried, finally plugged it into a surge protector and it worked. This being my first iPad I thought maybe it was being finicky about the power. Faster forward to this morning, I forgot to plug it in overnight, and tried every outlet and surge protector in the house, to no avail. I plugged it in using the same cord minus the AC adapter to my PC and got the "Not charging " Message. ONLY after doing this was I able to get this thing to start charging using the AC adapter.
So my question is this.... Is this normal? I really don't want to have some modified OCD dance everytime I need to charge this **** thing.
Is it the iPad itself acting up, which I suspect, or the USB to AC 10w adapter?
Again, first time owner so be gentle.

Sometime the iPad will not indicate it's charging, when using the AC adapter, for the first 15-20 minutes.
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.

IPad mini charging issues

Hi,
I would appreciate some advice about my iPad mini. I got it as a birthday present this year in may. Please note I live in a country where they do not have apple stores but they do have authorised resellers.
Two weeks ago my cable broke therefore I couldn't charge it. I opted for a pin adaptor as the old design is much sturdier and paying $50 (local price of original apple) for a dainty lightning cable that breaks so easily is a bit of a scam. Not really looking to pay $500 yearly should the durability of the first cable I got is that of the rest.
The iPad charged fine for three weeks and then got progressively worse; having to wiggle the pin in place to charge. Then it stopped charging all together. I theb bought the adaptor pin. It was charging fine with the adaptor pin at first then as happened before, all of a sudden, started being funny and selecting when it wants to charge randomly. I say randomly because the cable works without the pin adaptor to charge my iPod and I've also tested it around sockets using two other power adaptors and it works fine.
It'll charge for a second then not and continue to charge, fluttering between the two. When I get it to charge by wiggling the pin into place, it seems a connectivity issue is in place, I make sure to leave it be and slowly move away without breaking the connection as this is a rarity and I can finally charge it again.
Although it is not charging my iPad, when I turn it off and place the pin in it automatically turns back on. Still not charging but awake and using battery just to frustrate me some more. I've reset my iPad. I'm out of options and I refuse to buy another cable or adaptor, how is everything breaking so easily when my iPod has had no problems at all in two years.
Is anyone having this problem and if so, have any advice on sorting out this issue? I've not dropped my iPad nor do I swing it around to cause it to be damaged. Is it the fragile chargers or my iPad that holds the problem, or both? Normally, you'd go to the apple store to figure this out but that is not an option for me, the closest apple store is a 1.5 hr plane ride away in a different country. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this and helping me out :)

Hi, I have the same problem with my iPad4 mini. It is working fine with no problem, and it is charging too, but it seems to be a connectivity problem as the charging goes on/off and of course, gives a little "beep" when the connection is restored. It charges for about a minute and then goes on and off in repetition with 10 seconds intervall. I have checked the cable and the adapted, and it looks new with no marking or twisting or any sign of faults at all. I use the iPad every day and it does charge, but in the on/off cycles. Very annoying and possibly bad for the battery etc.
Please, any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.

IPad 2 charging issue after updating to 8.0.2

My iPad 2 is charging extremely slow via wall charger. 1% is literally taking 45-60 minutes.
I didn't have this issue with 8.0.0 or 8.0.1.
I updated to 8.0.2 OTA.
This morning I restored 8.0.2 via iTunes and I am still having the same issue.
Is there anyway I can downgrade to 8.0.0 or 8.0.1?

You can't downgrade.
Try a different wall charger, cable, or outlet to isolate whether it's your iPad or some other component.

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

IPad 3 charging issue with 10w power adapter

Hi everyone,
About the beginning of November, I purchased my first iPad. This is an iPad 3, wifi. Up until yesterday, I was able to charge my iPad using the 10w power adapter and cable from the box.
Since yesterday, that doesn't work anymore. I searched the internet but couldn't find a solution.
- I can charge my iPad 3 using my Macbook from late 2009, but it goes very slow. I don't get the screen and sound saying it's charging. I want to charge overnight and can't leave my computer on overnight.
- When I try to charge the iPad using the 10w power adapter and cable from the box, nothing happens. I don't get a lightning bolt or message saying it's charging. I don't get a message saying "not charging".
- I tried different outlets around the house, including outlets directly on the wall.
- I tried using my iPod classic from 2007 cable, no change. I hadn't expected it to work since the cable is fine, it's the power adapter that doesn't work.
- I tried rebooting, also a cold reboot. No changes.
- I can't take this to an Apple store since there is no Apple store near me.
- I'm not playing games on it.
- It doesn't charge when I plug it into the wall overnight.
This became a problem after using my iPad for about two weeks. Anyone who can help?

I ended up buying a 12w adapter. Because I'm not near an Apple store and the nearest one charges 30 euros an hour to even take a look, that's not really an option. That store also doesn't sell the ipad I have. Buying a new adapter was cheaper, and I can have it mailed home, and at least I'm sure it'll work and will go a bit faster.
Thanks for the help anyway!

IPad Mini Charger issues

I have four iPad Mini's and two iPhone 5's that use the lighting adapters. Four of those we got at Christmas. Right now, only two of the chargers are working. At first, I thought it was something that my children were doing to mess up the chargers, but mine stopped working in the middle of the night while it was plugged up. It got to about 60% and just quit working.
When I plug one of the lightning chargers to my iPad and plug the USB to the computer, it gives me a message that "One or more of the USB ports have been disabled because a device was using too much power" or something similar.
This is really annoying! The nearest Apple store is 85 miles away, so it isn't easy for me to just take it in to have it checked out. I'd just buy another charger, but I don't want to spend $20-30 if it is just going to break again.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Angie

No, they don't work ANYWHERE. I have tried multiple outlets, different USB plugs (the ones from the older iPads), trying them on each iPad... eveything I can think of. If I take the cord from these chargers and plug it into my iPad using the adapter that I know works, it doesn't work. So, I think it is the cord, the parts that plugs into the wall won't work either.
It didn't happen all at once, they kind of went down one at a time, a plug, a cord, a cord then the plug, until all I have left are the two plugs and two cords.
Can you imagine trying to keep six devices working with two chargers? My kids are going to hurt each other

Ipad 1 charging issues

When charger is plugged in it says charging not supported! Is it charger? Ipad1?

Be sure you are using either an original Apple charger or one that is officially licenced by Apple.
You can also try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

IPad AC charger issues anyone?

In the past month I have had three AC adapters for the iPad 3 stop working. I originally though it might have been due to brown outs during Hurricane Sandy but I have a few colleagues experience the same issue. In my case one started buzzing and would cycle on and off. one made a "pop" and stopped working. Is anyone else having an issue?

Mine is trucking along just fine. But I do have to wonder if the power supply coming in is inconsistant due to repairs after the storm.

IPad 3 Syncing and Charging Issue...

Hi I just recently bought a new ipad (3rd gen) in a local apple store,,, an now I try to sync it on my PC via itunes and I noticed that in the batter indicator it says "Not Charging" even though I hooked it up on a USB 2.0 port,,, why is that? I have an iPhone 4s but everytime i connect it to my pC it automatically charge why is that my iPad is not charging????

IPAD 3 battery charging issues

iPAD 3 battery charging issues. Read most of the discussions. My question is: If I take my iPAD to Apple Genius bar - what's the test they do to qualify for a replacement (do they place it on a charge and see the charge for Y% for X minutes or do they have other methods)

TS2634 IPAD charging issue?

I have the first IPAD and all of a sudden I cannot charge my IPAD through a electrical outlet. I can only re-charge it through my laptop. Anyone know why and can this be fixed?

Will it charge using the iPhone charger. It's only 5W, so it will charge more slowly.
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.

Is anyone else having an issue with the iPad not charging if you use it while it's plugged into a power source? Now that I'm on iOS 7, I either charge or use... Not both.

Ipad v1.0 4.3 charging issue

After upgrading my Ipad v1.0 to Ios 4.3, I am unable to charge the Ipad to 100%. It's stuck at 59%. Any suggestions?

Ok, ignore the suggestions about checking battery condition and charger etc. I have exactly the same issue on two iPads across 3 chargers since upgrading, I can repeat the problem consistently too. This is most definitely a software bug. If I plug my iPad into a mains charger, I get the charging icon and I hear the signal that suggests the iPad is charging but it doesn't or at least after 24 hours or so it may increase by a few percent. An important thing to note is that when plugging into the power, I do not get the battery level indicator (big green battery) on screen. The ipad also doesnt automatically go to sleep either. To get my iPads to charge I power off the them off whilst still connected. The iPad acts a bit oddly here as it shuts down but immediately reboots. When it restarts it charges as normal.
The tell tale sign to know if your iPad is actually charging is to look out for the battery level indicator graphic to show up when you connect the power.
