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.

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.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

IPad charging issue.

Yesterday I took delivery of four 64GB iPads for work. Two are WiFi only and two are 3G models. Here's the strange thing. One of each type will only charge from the included power block and cable. The other two will charge on my MacBook Pro, from the included power block and from my new ZaggSpark backup battery unit. The two that won't charge except from the power block have gone to PC users but I don't see how that could be an issue unless the USB ports on their IBM desktops aren't providing a sufficient charge. That doesn't explain though why neither of the two units won't even charge from my Mac. Strange voodoo or busted out of the box?

The amps needed to run a wifi Ipad with the battery at 100 percent is so close to the average USB 2 limit that it is a coin flip on what you will see.
You would need 0.82 to 0.96 amps to NOT see the Apple message about "NOT Charging"
---FYI stuff ---
Tested with only a wifi Ipad with battery at 75 % I needed 0.96 amps to run and get a charging Icon.
If I turn off wifi the Ipad will use 0.49 amps if battery is at 100 percent
Sleep mode -slow charge to full battery with wifi on is 0.09 to 0.10 amps

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)

We're iPad users like you, so don't know.

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.

Charging ipad mini issue. Urgent help needed.

Please help me. Past 2 days, I notice my ipad took longer time to fully charge. Normally, it just take around 3-3.5 hours, but now it take 8 hours to complete. What is the problem, was it my ipad, or my charger adapter issue.

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.)

Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?

I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue? Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad? I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to. It's so disappointing!!!!

I also have issues when charging my brand new iPad mini. I got astonished when I tried to charge it yersterday and realized it took more more time to charge than my iPod Touch 4th generation, which really charges very fast! It even did'nt charge completely so when I got home I put mi iPad mini to charge overnight, at about 12.30 AM, when it had about 13% charge left.
This morning I got shocked when I saw at 6 Am that it hadn't charged completely. Just 96%, which means the iPad mini can't be totally charged during a 6 hours charging session. So after reading all these posts I get disappointed with this huge issue for iPad users. How can we endure such a long charging sessions for a device that you normally use all the time. For instance, when you're traveling you always need to charge the iPad very quickly. Just a few travelers would allow their ipads to rule their schedules on such a bizarre way!
I was also worried because I don't live in the States. It was my brother who bought it for me, so taking my device to the Apple Glass Cube in New York or any other retailer or just to have this issue technically solved is a big problem for me! So international customers who think to buy this wonderful mini tablet should consider that such a marvelous device is dealing with an absurd and disappointing big problem related to an aspect customers would hardly imagine.

Ok so I am having issues with charging my iPad as well. So I took advice from this forum and yes, if you turn the brightness down my iPad charges. Thanks Apple I just went and spent money on a new charger I didn't need. Really you need to fix this issue.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

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.

30 pin Belkin cord not working with 12W Ipad charger

Title
30 pin Belkin cord not working with 12W Ipad charger
Updated my ipad to ios7
Old charger stopped working
Got new charger
Still not charging
Help
Please thank you

Seems as if your tried changing everything but the 30-pin cable. Does the same cable work if you connect the iPad to your PC (does the PC recognize that the iPad is plugged in)?
Inspect the 30-pin port on the iPad for dust/lint which likes to get trapped inside. Clean out/blow out the 30-pin port on the iPad using a soft brush (like a paint brush).
Also inspect and clean the 30-pin connector on the cable. Even just a small amount of dust or lint on the connectors (especially in the 30-pin port on the device) can cause charging issues.

Why does my ipad charge no reaction

The new ipad charge without charging reaction.
But that charger can charging for ipod touch.
And the new ipad can't connect iTunes.

There are 4 things that could be wrong if your iPad doesn't charge
First, like others have said ONLY charge it plugged into the wall with the original provided charger. The iPad will not charge from a USB or computer. It also will not charge well using an iPod charger...yes the plugs are the same but the power output is not.
If you plug your iPad into the mains and you don't get the 'charging' chime and you're also having issues iwth iTunes, there could be an issue with your iPad.
The charger is bad
The outlet is bad
The cable is bad
The port on the iPad is bad
If you have another iPad charging brick, give it a try and see if the problem resolves or remains
If you have another USB cable swap it out and see if hte problem resolves or remains
Plug them into a different outlet and see if hte problem resolves or remains
If you can replicate the 'not charging' with multiple chargers and cables and outlets then the only thing that remians is your 30 pin port going bad, which does happen. If that's the case, make an appointment at your ocal apple store and have them take a look at it. (Be prepared for them to do the whole troubleshooting gig because they'll have to confirm that it's not just your charger or cable). If they can replicate it, and barring any signs of obvious 'abuse or neglece' then the malfunction can be covered under the warranty.

Ipad is sometimes "not charging" and sometimes charging ..i have to pull out and put tje charging pin many times til i see the icon that it is charging..i have an original ipad charger..and it always takes time for it to charge succesfully

Can I use the iPad charger as a live USB hub?

If i was to use my iPad charger (after removing the cable), as a live USB hub for my external speakers, would that cause damage to the charger? Would this set up work? I've blown up a mac charger before with these experiments, don't wanna do another.

The problems with the Apple Maps app were overblown. Yes, there were some isolated accuracy and direction issues when it was released, but Apple has made a lot of improvement since then. I use it on my iPhone all the time and have yet had problems. It doesn't always choose the same route I would have chosen, but that's with all navigation apps.

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the cable into the iPad & computer. If it says "Not Charging", the cable is probably good. (It is charging but very slowly.)
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.

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.

Hello there, batulububa.
The following Knowledge Base article although written for iPhone can be used in troubleshooting your iPad battery issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Specifically the following:
Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.
Also refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro D.
