Ipad 2 won't charge from ipad charger, but will sync and charge from USB!

Hi
I have been having some issues with charging my Ipad 2 and have searched the internet but can't find a solution.
I can charge and sync my ipad from my computer but it will not charge from the mains charger (2 amp) provided with the ipad. - Therefore there is no problem with either the lead or the pins on the ipad
I know the cable works as it is the one i am using to sync to the PC. The charger also works to charge my iphone. - Therefore no issues with the charger.
I have rebooted the ipad.
I have also restored the ipad back to its orignal settings and restored a back up from Itunes.
All so far have had no effect on using the charger to charge the ipad.
Perhaps a trip to the Istore is the only option?
thanks

Take your iPad, cable & charger to the Apple Store.
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%.
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.

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

The ipad won't sync some photos, saying the file can't be read by the ipad, however it will sync some photos taken at the same time which are the same size and file type. Why does it reject some and accept others?

Hi there. I'm having the same problem: my iPad won't import some photos from a folder, saying that they can't be read. They are all JPEGS and some photos taken at the same time have synched fine, but out of a folder with 200 photos, it only lets me synch 37. I'm synching albums created via Photoshop Elements 6, which has worked fine until now.
I've tried deleting all photos and re-synching, and have also deleted the iPod Photo Cache, but it hasn't made a difference.
The iPad auto-updated to the latest version of iTunes, so maybe that's what's causing it?
Any advice gratefully received!

3rd Gen iPod won't charge with USB connector - Is that normal?

I have the above iPod, and I noticed that when I tried to plug it in to charge it with a newer USB connector it will not charge. It will however, let me update my iTunes music. Is this normal for an older iPod?

I believe that is correct. That iPod was often called the iPod with 'dock connector', and as this chart shows, won't charge via USB.

You have to back them up to a computer. You would import them either to iPhoto or to the Photos app in your PC:

My ipod won't charge with USB or AC adapter - only Firewire

I recently bought a 3rd gen 20 gig ipod of ebay and it won't charge through USB or AC adapter. When I charge it through firewire, it loses its charge fast, so I am assuming the battery is dead. This still doesn't explain why it won't charge through USB or AC. Does anyone know why this might be? Please help!

good to know that 3G ipods don't charge through usb - but I still don't understand why an AC adapter wouldn't work. I can't even figure out the charging patern - it seems that when I plug it in through USB it drains the battery, but the battery life varies. One minute it will have full charge, then the next it will turn off and say it is empty, then the next it will have half life, all without plugging it in. Frustrating...

Is there a USB hub that will sync and charge my iPhone

Looking for a USB hub that will sync and charge my iPad and iPhone ideally with 7 ports.
Is there one out there as I can't seem to find any?
Just about to return a D-Link dub-H7 hub as it seems to becausing issues with the USB ports on the iMac. All seems well when i leave a device charging when I go to bed but in the morning none of the iMac ports work until i restart.

This is the problem with these ports. I bought a powered USB at MicroCenter last winter. It had 7 ports, two were designated for high powered devices and yet I plug in one iPhone to charge and within a few minutes, the hub will disconnect from the computer.
All I can recommend is searching for POWERED hubs on Amazon and read the reviews. Not sure if there are some that will actually work but trying a few can get expensive.

My iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to other computers.

Like the title says, my iPad wont sync to my computer but will sync to my bother's mac and my windows laptop.

First off, an iPad is designed to sync with only one computer. Syncing with a second computer erases everything synced from the first computer.
What exactly are you trying to accomplish? What happens when you try and what, if any, error messages do you receive? Do you have iTunes 11.1 or later on the computer you want to sync with?

Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN

Hp 7525 Photosmart printer won't scan to my PC but will scan to other PCs on the LAN. I tried to install the printer software but it says it is already installed. Do I have a security setting wrong?
Other PC names show up on the printer's touch screen but not mine. We are all on the same wireless subnet with the printer at a fixed IP address.
I can print from my PC and scan from my PC but I can't scan from the printer touchscreen to my PC.

Hi,
You may have to start from your computer first:
    Double click printer icon on desktop,
    Select Manage Scan to Computer
    Click Enable -
    Restart your printer to see, is your machine in the list ?
Regards.

Hi,
I have had a similar problem. I have a 1Tb portable Seagate drive which I have been using successfully for backups with time machine on a Macbook running Lion for 18 months.
I decided to upgrade to Mavericks and experienced the same symptoms as above. The machine would not recognise the disk in finder. Disk utilities could see the disk but the partition was greyed out and several attempts to repair disk were to no avail. I am afraid that I made matters worse by unsuccessfully trying to reformat the disk.
I made a backup of my macbook to another older mac and tried the hard disk with an old Windows laptop running Vista. It recognised the disk but said it need to be formatted. This I did.
In the mean time I had upgraded my Macbook from 10.9.3.to 10.9.4. I am not sure if this made a difference.
I then plugged the hard disk back in to the Macbook. It recognised it immediately and said that it needed initialising. This I did successfully and (MAC os extended Journal). The disk now works perfectly with 10.9.4 on the Macbook and I have been able to use Time Machine with it to make a backup.
I know this does not help with rescuing data from the hard disc but at least I now have a usable hard disk!

My mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

my mac mail won't let me receive emails but will let me send them. How do i fix this ?

I am intermittently having the same problem. I can send email, but once the Mail application is opened, it will only pull emails in from the server one time and then I have to "Force Quit" and restart the application to receive incoming mail again. I've tried restarting the computer. I've made sure I have all the system updates. I've checked for conflicts between applications and so far nothing fixes the problem. Once in a while, Mail starts functioning normally on its own, but in a few days it goes back to the same old problem. Has anyone figured out what if going on with this isse?

On my Mac (vers 10.7.5) I use Disk Utilites to burn a DVD. The DVD won't play on the Mac but will play on my Windows PC and on a DVD player. A DVD created on my PC will play on the Mac. Any ideas why this is happening?

I used iDVD to create an IMG file
You created the video DVD, the IMG file, with iDVD and just burned it with Disk Utility. As Klaus1 pointed out Disk Utility can't create video DVDs.

MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi, but will connect to other networks

Help! MacBook Pro won't connect to home wifi but will connect to other networks. Others can connect to my home network. I've tried diagnostics, resetting the router, restarting my computer, and forgetting the network and then trying to access it. Nothing works.

I have the same problem. Closed App Store after double tapping Home button twice. I tried logging out of App Store and back in. Also did App Store updates in computer and updated everything when i synced iPhone with iTunes. Nothing works. App Store updates still frozen in iPhone.
