IPad (4th generation) won't charge in sony vaio laptop

why is my ipad retina is not charging when i connect thru usb to my laptop sony vaio?

Most USB ports on computers do not provide enough power for efficient charging. You will get the Not Charging message while at the same time your iPad may be charging albeit extremely slowly. The best way to charge your iPad is to use the wall charger that came with the iPad.

IPad fourth generation won't charge during use.

Hi, I recently noticed that my new iPad fourth generation won't charge while I'm using it. The lightning cord is plugged in and connected but the iPad keeps loosing battery while I use it when it signals 20% left! Why does it do this? Is Apple going to fix this? I love using iPad and I hate devices that need to be left alone for a while until fully charged... Anyways, is it normal? Does anyone else's iPads do this? Please tell me!!

Replace your 10W charger with a 12W charger.

IPad 4th gen won't charge?

I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
but my iPad will not budge past 1%
I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
Does anyone have any ideas why?
And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

Hi Moll.x,
If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

IPod Touch 4th Generation Won't Charge

Hi, I got my iPod touch 4th generation in January of 2011 and it has been working fine until now.
Let me explain ...
     The other day my battery ran out on my iPod, so just as usual I went to plug it into the USB port on my computer. Nothing happened. I then tryed switching USB ports (I have 4). Nothing happened. I then tryed using my wall charger. Nothing happened. I tryed switching outlets. Yet again, nothing happened.
     Frustrated I asked my friend if I could borrow her charger. I then proceeded to plug it in to my 4 USB ports, and my many plug outlets. Yet again, nothing happened. When I plug it into my computer, it does not reconize my iPod (Although, I believe it shouldn't since my iPod is dead.). I even tried leaving it plugged in for a few hours, and it still did absolutley nothing.
     Now normally when my iPod dies, when I attempt to turn it on it shows a flashing low battery sign (http://ihackmyi.com/files/upload/b/2140-112810133913.jpg) and when I plug it in it shows a low battery sign, except with a symbol notifying me that it's charging (http://www.best-ipod-online.com/images/ipod-touch-troubleshooting-01.jpg). Except now when I attempt to turn it on, it does nothing. It just shows a pure, plain, black screen.
I am completely disapointed with my iPod, and any help at all would be appreciated. I do not wish to ship it away, I will only do that as a last resort.
Thank you,
J.L.K & J.M.K

- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod Touch 4th generation won't charge?

I haven't dropped it or anything. It just randomly stopped charging. I have tried 3 different cords and I plugged it into my computer but it is not showing up on iTunes and it won't charge. It's also dead. I have tried holding the power button and home button together but it does nothing, the apple symbol doesn't show up. I don't think there's anything wrong with the cords. I have not jailbroken it or anything. But I have a lot of data on there and I don't want to lose it. Please help me ASAP!!!!!

My ipod touch 4th generation won't charge all of a sudden and I'm not sure what to do?

When I get home from school I instantly put my ipod on it's charger because I use it a lot during the day. i always put in on an ipod dock and play my music while it charges and use my computer until it's completely done charging. So, today I did that and had a friend over and while she was using my computer I asked her to pass me my ipod and she did and I used it without any problems whatsoever. After she left I put it on the charger where it did not work. I figured it was the dock itself so I turned it off then on and nothing it still wouldn't work, then I went and put it on an outlet charger where it acknowledged that it was on a charger and turned on for a brief moment then turned off again and again. It hasn't been used since then and it keeps truning on and off. I was getting worried and tried to look up some solutions online but wasn't getting any until I saw this one that said it could have possibly been from the static shock of something. My friend shocked herself before touching it then I did the same later while putting it on an outlet charger... could that be it? And if so, how do I fix it? Please I really need some help with this.

Help!My ipod 4th generation won't charge, turn on or appear in itunes!

I've only had my ipod shuffle a few weeks for running. I had it on charge on my work PC all day, when it came to running home it wouldn't play.
The things I have tried;
Held down on 'play' button for a few seconds, it beeps flashes green but nothing happens.
I've try to restore .. switch off, wait ten seconds, turn on - nothing happens.
I've plugged it into my laptop - red light appears and then nothing.
I'm all out of ideas, as it doesn't show up on my computer, nor in i-tunes I can't reset it as per the help support guidelines ... !
Can anyone help me? I'd be forever grateful!

If the red light is shown when connected, that may indicated the USB port is not providing sufficient power to operate the shuffle and charge its battery. If your computer is a laptop, connect its power adapter, so that it's not running on battery power. If you are using a hub, try connecting the shuffle to a direct USB port on the computer, by itself, with no other USB devices connected.
The cause may also be a problem on the shuffle with charging. It is under warranty for one year from purchase date.
NOTE: The shuffle is not waterproof, or even water resistant. It is best to wear it clipped to a location that has air circulation, like shirt sleeve, to minimize prolonged contact with sweat.

Try:

Can ipad 4 be charging while you use it, have 3rd generation, won't charge during use thanks

can ipad 4 be charging while you use it, have 3rd generation, won't charge during use thanks

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
http://www.macblend.com/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.

IPad 4th generation charging seems too slow. After 7 hours started at 20%, now only up to 60%.

iPad 4th generation seems to be charging too slowly. After 7 hours, started at 20%, now at 60%. Is there something I can do to speed things up?

Do you have the iPad busy doing many tasks while charging, perhaps without your knowledge? For example, do you have Bluetooth on, even though you are not intentionally using it? Are you using geofenced reminders (e.g., "remind me to ... when I arrive home")?
You can stop many tasks from running by double clicking the home button, seeing those tasks thar are currently running (displayed to the right of the home screen display), then swiping toward the top of your iPad the icon above the bottom one that shows the icon as it appears on your screen.

HT204023 Can you use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with an iPad 4th generation ?

Can I use the personal hotspot on the iPhone 4 with the iPad 4th generation which only has wifi ?
Thank you in advance for your help :)

Unlimited Internet is different than the carrier supporting the hotspot feature. I don't have an iPhone or an iPad with cellular. My limited knowledge about the hotspot is from reading support articles about it and from what I have read here in the forum.
I don't know that circumstances with the carriers have changed, but initially, the was an extra cost to enable the hotspot feature on the iDevice. I believe that Verizon was charging an additional $20 per month for the feature. Check out the support article that I posted above.
This is copied from that article that I posted above.
Note: If you do not see the option for Personal Hotspot, confirm with your carrier that this feature is supported and your wireless plan is configured for Personal Hotspot. For additional troubleshooting, see this article.

IPad 4th generation Screen go's black during gaming

I have tried serval different types of games on my iPad 4th generation and the screen go's black during gaming . Is this common for the iPad or is something wrong with this new iPad?

Is the iPad charged when this happens?
Try this - 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.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

IPad 4th generation battery.

The battery life I've experienced using iPad 4th generation is outstanding. Time since last full charge is 2 days 14 hours. Usage is 9 hours 50 minutes. Charge % remaining is 40%. That is stunning. I've used it for Internet browsing via Wi-fi. Gaming. Movies. Pretty much my usual usage habits. I'm really impressed.

In the end mine got down to 3% after 3 days 16 hours stand by. Usage was 15 hours 37 minutes. clearly it depends on the type of usage but the iPad 4 does seem to be getting way better battery life than that quoted by Apple. phenomenal in fact. over 19 hours is crazy.
