IPad 2 will not charge or be recognized by iTunes

Ok... before anything is said, I have read basically every thread here and elsewhere regarding this issue. I have reset the iPad and done everything else many times over.
The problem here is not exactly that my iPad will not charge no matter what. If I plug the device into the wall it DOES charge, albeit very, VERY slowly and the lightning bolt sign does not show up. I left the device plugged in and off for two consecutive days and the charge went from 2% to about 40% in that time and then drained very quickly once I used it.
As I said, the lightning bolt does not come up even though the device knows that it is plugged in. After one of the resets I did, the lightning bolt came on and the iPad appeared to be charging very quickly. A few minutes later the cord got knocked just the tiniest bit out of the port and when it was plugged back in fully, the lightning bolt did not appear and has not come back since after many resets.
It also refuses to be recognized by iTunes as well as my computer entirely, even while it is in recovery mode.
I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1, began using iCloud and began using iTunes match, dont know if these things have anything to do with this.

I also have the same problem, could you expound in detail how theresolve

  • My iPad will not charge, it can sync to iTunes and transfer data/music to it, but when plugged in to a USB or an A/C wall adapter all it says is not charging.

    My iPad will not charge, it can sync to iTunes and transfer data/music to it, but when plugged in to a USB or an A/C wall adapter all it says is not charging.

    A lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
    In terms of the wall charger, have you tried a different charger and/or cable, or do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
    Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • TS3694 My iPad will not sync or be recognized my iTunes anymore, help!!!

    I have not changed anything on my PC and I'm using Windows Vista and I have synced my iPad2 with my PC a bunch of times but all of a sudden it's not recognizing my iPad anymore and won't sync it, it keeps telling me to restore my iPad. I can't restore because I have a drawing app that has over 400 sketches that I have sketched and if I don't back up my iPad before syncing it I will lose all of my sketches. If anyone has any tips, advice, or anyway to help me please let me know.
    Thank you,
    Darlene

  • TS3274 ipad will not charge when USB cord connected to PC or socket.

    When i plug the USB cord to either electrical socket or computer.  ipad will not charge.  Says NOT CHARGING.  Please HELP.

    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.

  • My ipad will not charge on my computer?

    my ipad will not charge on my computer?

    Any mac made within the last 5 years should allow the ipad to have the lightening icon on the display (meaning charging at 10w)  If it says "Not Charging" is most likely is, but at 5w f power.  Would take a long time to charge it up.
    It seems older PC laptops only charge at 5w, newer ones i think allow for 10w charging

    Yes a number of people have had this issue in the past, alas you are not the first.
    You should test with another cable or in another outlet to make sure its neither of those, if not probably take into an apple store.

  • Ipad will not charge or turn on after downloading IOS 7

    Ipad will not charge or turn on and I have tried re-booting etc but nothing happening. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

    Charge the device via a wall outlet for At least 10-20 minutes, then try this while it's still plugged in
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings  (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
    (no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
    If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.
    Make sure iTunes is updated to the latest version

    my ipad will not charge up. it just shows the red battery signal and then switches off. The same charger succesfully charges other idas so i know it is no the charger that is faulty.Any suggestions

    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.)

  • My Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

    my Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

    The best way to charge an iPad is to use the charger that came with it connected to a known good wall outlet. The following might be the problem.
    No power in the outlet.
    Bad charger unit. Try a different charger.
    Bad cable. Try a know good cable.
    Dirt in the connector on the iPad. Check and clean.
    A fault in the charging software. Reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    A hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My ipad will not charge when i connect it to my computer.

    My ipad will not charge when i connect it to my computer.  It will sync but it states "Not Charging" next to the battery icon.  It will chrage when I plug it into a wall outlet driectly.

    The USB port on your computer does not provide enough power oto charge your iPad. This is normal. Charge it by plugging into a wall outlet.

    Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets the iPad to turn on and/or to charge ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
