Ipad air 2 touch id not working when plugged in

A very strange problem tonight.
After work, I grabbed my iPad Air 2 which was plugged in to the Apple Charger next to my chair. Touched the home button to open it - nothing happened. Tried again. Nothing happened. Entered the code and the IPad Air opened.
After dinner, same thing. Touch ID did not work with any of 3 fingers. With the code - it opened. So, I decided to delete and redo the finger scans. Turned off - no change - Touch ID not working.
To get a better grip, I unplugged the Apple charger. Viola! Touch ID worked. Plugged it back in. Touch ID stops working.
Powder off, power on. Touch ID works unplugged but not plugged in. I have done the Reset All Settings. No change.
At a loss. This is not a 3rd party charger - it is the Apple one that came with the iPad Air. Anyone got any ideas?
Tim

Make sure the usb wall adapter is from Apple too.
if your using a generic wall adapter and original Apple lightning cable,
the touch ID won't work.
IF you use both apple wall adapter and lightning cable
the touch id should work.
hopes this helps

Touch Screen not working when plugged in via usb to laptop

I am hoping someone can help me figure out what to do because I have run out of ideas... When I plug the phone into my laptop via the USB cable provided with the phone (2006 Dell 1710 Inspiron, Windows Vista) the touch screen does not work. The phone is functioning but I just can't use the touch screen to do anything, more specifically, I want to connect as a mass storage device so I can transfer files, music, pictures, etc.
I have downloaded the drives, installed and reinstalled the drivers, soft rest, used all 5 USB ports on the laptop and made sure the ports were up to date for drivers and software on the laptop. Still the screen won't work when plugged in.
My next step was to try it on a different computer so I used an HP desktop running Windows 7. Downloaded the drivers when prompted and low and behold the screen worked just fine when plugged in. It also works when plugged into my computer at work.
Considering the phone works fine on another computer I am guessing it might be the USB ports on my laptop or the software associated with it.
If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

I would definitely agree with you, Funkytown. If we know the phone works properly with two other computers and you've run through all the troubleshooting (awesome job!), then we can determine there is something with the computer that is causing the issue.
Thank you!

Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio. When I take it out, it goes blank. Why can I do?

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio. When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank. The battery shows fully charged. It appears that the battery is no longer charging. What should I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

HEADPHONES do not work when plugged in - iMac Intel

So I reinstalled the operating system a few months back. After completing this my headphones do not work when plugged in. I do have them plugged into the correct jack. When i plug them in the built-in speakers go silent for a second or two as if the headphones are working but then the speakers kick back in with no sound in the headphones.
The headphones worked just prior to reinstall so I'm not sure its the jack itself but something in the operating system.
I have also checked in System Preferences 'Sound' and when they are plugged in, they do not show in the devices window.
What the heck is going on? I've read in other forums that this seems to be something of a typical problem but have not found a solution to the problem.
thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to the discussions.
Mate, it sounds more like a system glitch than a hardware issue. I too have been experiences some 'funky' issues. However, they have all been fixed by running Onyx disc maintenance software. Install Onyx and run 'automation'. You can cancel the disc checking operations on start up and ignore the back up disclaimer. Give it a go and post back with the results.

IPad Air 2 Magnetic Closure Not Working

Okay, bought an iPad Air 2 (64 GB/Wifi) a few days ago. Everything is great, except for one thing. For whatever reason, the sleep/wake feature utilizing the magnetic closure does not seem to be working. I ordered one case from Amazon, and purchased a Targus from Best Buy. Both have magnets in them, but this feature just does not work. iPad stays on unless I actually use the sleep/wake button.
Yes, I have the feature turned "on" in the settings menu, and yes... both cases are for an iPad Air 2, and have magnets.

Sure thing... the case I had success with was this one:

Camera not working when plugged into certain USB ports

I just purchased a Creative Live! Cam for use on my dual G5 running 10.5. When I plug the camera into the USB port on the front of the Mac, it works fine with iChat.
However, when I plug it into the back of the monitor (older style Cinema display), it says it is in use by another application.
Any idea how to resolve this? The cable isn't terribly long and the machine is several feet away from the monitor, so I'd like to use the ones on the monitor. (Obviously it gives a power-error message when plugged into the keyboard, which is normal).
Thanks

Seems like it is a USB 2.0 or not problem

IPad 1st Generation Touch Screen Not Working

So, I think i've dropped my iPad for the last time. The screen is cracked all the way across and the touch screen function isn't working. I can swipe the slide to unlock but when I try to put in my password, nothing happens. It's like the number box isn't working. I tried to do a hard reset but that didn't solve the problem. HELP!!!! My whole life is on this thing :-(

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Does touch ID not work when redeeming gift cards from iTunes?

I thought the whole idea with touch id was not having to enter your long-*** passwords all the time?!? iTunes asked for my password when I try to redeem gift cards, instead of letting me use touch id. Is this the way its supposed to work?

I was having this issue too, it was always asking for the passcode even though the setting was on for iTunes & App Store. To fix it I turned it off and then back on again, it asked for my password and then it worked.
Steps:
- Go to Settings -> General -> Touch ID & Passcode -> Touch ID
- Disable iTunes & App Store
- Re-enable iTunes & App Store
- Enter your passcode one last time
- It should work
Also as others mentioned, under General -> Restrictions -> Require Password might need to be set to 15 minutes.

Adobe air mobile - softKeyboardType is not working when using skinClass to allow scrolling?

I am trying to set the softKeyboardType to email but when ever i use skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" it doesn't change it but when i take off skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" it does work. The problem is i need the skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" class to allow my application so scroll with out it the text does not stay with in the bounds of the text input boxes. Has anyone seen this problem or another fix the the scrolling problem?
Code examples
<s:TextInput softKeyboardType="email" id="id1" width="100%" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextInputSkin" />
<s:TextArea softKeyboardType="email" id="id2" height="400" width="100%" skinClass="spark.skins.mobile.TextAreaSkin" />
Thank for the help,

The main problem we are all seeing is that its not hooking into the scroller, as this is documented not to work in a scrollable environment
However try something like this, still not perfect (as i see a flicker) but it should get you going.

i have an iphone 5 around 6 months now, it charges perfectly and when i plug it into my laptop it does not show up at all, at the start this was not an issie and i now can now sync music or even charge it on the laptop. i have tried a different laptop and i different lead with no luck. the apple mobile device is intallef and both iphone and itunes are up to date in terms of upates. Ive tried alot f things at this stage and i looked at the thing on the itunes support on this and tried the things it said, again the phone is not even charging on the laptop, i have a windows 7 laptop and iphone 5.. any halp is great thanks

With the device not connected to the computer, remove and reinstall iTunes, following the instructions in this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923. Make sure you follow them in order, or it could lead to problems. After reinstalling, connect the phone. It should reinstall the drivers at that time.

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

With ios 8.3 ipad mini apps sometimes do not respond when touched

a new problem occurred with ios 8.3 ipad mini applications sometimes do not respond when touched Fix it in ios 8.4

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.
