IPad Air 2 very slow when charging with iPad Mini Charger

I just realized that my iPad Air 2 gets unusably slow (lag when scrolling and typing) when I use the 10W charger of an 1st generation iPad Mini instead of the also 10W (sic!) charger included with my Air 2.
Anyone else having this problem? What does lead to this problem?
I've already resetted my Air 2, but it didn't change anything.

Use the charger and cable that came with the device to charge it.
The first gen iPad mini came with the 5 watt charger and not the 10 watt. The 10 watt chargers come with the mini Retina (now called the mini 2) and mini 3.
ID your chargers here: https://www.apple.com/power-adapters/
That being said about the charger wattage, I see no reason why the Air 2 would react in the way you describe. My Air 2 simply says "Not Charging" when I use a 5 watt charger with it (which I do not normally do) but does not react any differently as you describe.
If at all possible, I would make a Genius Bar reservation at your nearby Apple Store and take the whole lot of devices, chargers and cables in to have them evaluated & to possibly get to the root of the problem. It may be that the mini's charger is defective in some way and causes the Air 2 to react the way it does. I really doubt it's due to the wattage difference.

Typing on the iPad 2 very slow to respond with iOS 7

Why is typing on the iPad 2 very slow to respond with iOS 7?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table.

InDesign CC 2014 is very very slow when working with a table. Every 1/2 - 1 hour it nearly falls back, impossible to work with. While this project must be finshed quite soon..
What the hell is the matter with this Creative Cloud. I havea very fast iMac form 2014. I closed all other programmes, even cannot listen to music now. More people with this problem??
Martien

@Martien – How complex is your table?
How many cells? Merged ones as well?
Complex formatting of texts inside the cells?
Complex formatting rules of table rows and/or columns?
Many images inserted?
If yes, and the table is running through many text frames of many pages, I fear, you can do nothing against slowness.
Nothing but: Greek text, not showing the page contents in the Pages Panel, in short: anything you can do to get better performance in redrawing of the screen.
If you have the chance to break up one big table in several parts, do that and edit its parts one after another isolated. Pehaps in different documents.
Then merge the parts in one table, if you want to flow it from page to page.

Ipad agenda very slow when activated takes long time

My agenda is very slow when i activated them takesnlongbtime when it is visible.?
How to solve this?

You could try a reset of the iPad, but that could also be due to the servers you are connecting to that contain the calendar information (assuming you are synching to one or more), your Internet connection itself, and then number of items and calendars in the app.

IPad air VERY slow charging.

iPad air. After 6.5hrs only up to 80% charge, (not being used whilst charging) and this is with the larger ipad air charger. Also when charging and using, I.e watching a movie, the battery percentage will drop. Is this normal?

That sounds about right.
My iPad 3 takes about 6-7 hours to charge from when the battery icompletely discharges.

IPad Air very slow for last 6 weeks. Installing latest did not help. Screen just sits and buffers. If I reboot, sometimes it's better, sometimes it's not..????

MMy iPad Air has been VERY slow,for 6-8 weeks. Update to iOS 8.1 did not help. Screen just sits and buffers. Rebooting sometimes helps, sometimes not.what's wrong???

Hi go to ICloud & backup. Go to Seetings Restore to Factory Settings This will get rid of any bugs and make ipad like new. Just use Same Apple ID & password then you will get all your Apps & Data Back. Cheers Brian

Screen on iPad Air Feels Different When Touching Than iPad 2

i just got an iPad Air and while it works great, and the screen is responsive, it feels different when I touch the screen to do something, than my iPad 2 did, or the iPad Mini w/retina display I had for a day before exchanging it for the Air. Both of those, as well as my iPhone all feel firm when you touch/press it. In fact, I always thought that "typing" on the iPad 2 was annoying because it did feel like there was no "give" to the screen. But in the case of the iPad Air, there is a distinctly different feel when touching, pressing, typing....it seems to give a little...it's a little "spongey"....it feels more like touching plastic than glass perhaps...
Does anyone else notice this? Could it be because the Air is so thin? (But so was the mini and I did NOT notice it there).
In all of this I am concerned that there COULD be something wrong with the screen, although other than how it FEELS, there are no other signs at all of a problem.
Any comments are welcome...thanks.
Jeff

Jeff, first excusme for my English i write from Spain. I also remarked different the iPad air screen than the previous model. I get the feeling that it is harder to answer, especially on the sides. Also sometimes when I want to deploy a tab id hard to "obey" the first time.

My Macbook Pro runs VERY slow when unplugged. The battery charges and runs ok. Ran an SMC reset (no success), Safe mode (did not work), and hardware check (came back ok). What can I try next to fix this?

Hello all,
I am new to posting on this forum but I really hope that someone out there can help me out. I have a 13" MacBook Pro, 2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3, running OSX 10.6.8. My problem is that when I unplug the laptop form the charger and run it on the battery, the computer becomes unresponsive to any commands at all. It basically really slows down to a crawl. Even when rebooting it will take 5-10 minutes or more to do so. The odd thing is, when it gets plugged back in while any of this is going on, within a minute or two it works perfectly. It has been in a mac authorized repair shop for 7 weeks and has had a new logic board and a new hard drive replaced. The battery was tested and charges fine, holds a charge when unplugged, and the system profile shows the battery at Normal. Recently, many knowledgeable mac enthusiasts gave me tip that might help. Here is what I did: Ran an SMC reboot (no success), rebooted the computer under safe mode then unplugged it to test (no success), and ran a hardware test on the install disk (showed hardware ok)
I am at a loss as to what to do next. It has become impossible to use this laptop for my classes when it is unplugged. I am about ready to just go buy a new one, and call this one a goner.
I am hoping someone reading this can help with any other ideas on its problem. Help? Anyone?
Steve

LPBassman,
since the tech in your IT department was able to copy your daughter’s data from her MacBook Pro’s internal disk, I’d suggest completely erasing the internal disk (using Disk Utility in Recovery mode, reformatting it with a “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” filesystem), reïnstalling its original version of Mac OS X (either Snow Leopard from the grey Mac OS X Install DVD if it originally came with two grey DVDs, or Lion via OS X Internet Recovery if no grey DVDs originally came with it), running Software Update to get it to 10.6.8 or 10.7.5 respectively, reïnstalling Mavericks, running Software Update again to get it up to date, and finally restoring your daughter’s data.

Mid-2011 Macbook Air - very slow wifi yet with OSX 10.9.2 (The Return)

Referring to this previous post:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5911893?tstart=0
Problem remains the same, wifi is simply impossible to use in OS X, and my "solution" to avoid throwing my Macbook Air into the rubbish bin is keep using Elementary OS (an Ubuntu-based linux distro). It basically saved my life. I think my last try will be 10.9.3, and if it doesn't fix the problem, I will quit OSX for good.

Please take all the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Take the applicable steps in this support article. The Wireless Diagnostics program generates a large file of information about your system, which would be used by Apple Engineering in case of a support incident. Don't post the contents here.
Step 2
Run Software Update and install all available updates for OS X or your computer's firmware.
Step 3
If you're not using a wireless keyboard or trackpad, disable Bluetooth by selecting Turn Bluetooth Off from the menu with the Bluetooth icon. If you don't have that menu, open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked Show Bluetooth in menu bar. Test. Continue if you find that Wi-Fi is faster with Bluetooth disabled.
From that same menu, select Open Bluetooth Preferences. If the box labeled Discoverable is checked, uncheck it. Click the Advanced button, and in the sheet that opens, uncheck the top three boxes, if any are checked. Click OK. Enable Bluetooth and test again.
If the application called "Bluetooth Setup Assistant" is running, quit it (not applicable to OS X 10.9 or later.)
Step 4
Open the Network pane in System Preferences and make a note of your settings in the Wi-Fi service. It may be helpful to take screenshots of the various tabs in the preference pane. If the preference pane is locked, unlock it by clicking the padlock icon and entering your administrator password. Delete Wi-Fi from the service list on the left by selecting it and clicking the minus-sign button at the bottom. Then recreate the service by clicking the plus-sign button and following the prompts.
Step 5
Reset the System Management Controller.
Step 6
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service center.

IPad 2 has become very slow when charging

Since I upgraded to ios 7, my iPad 2 has become very slow when charging. And the battery drained very fast. I cannot put it on standby but need to power off completely when I am not using it. This is very troublesome.

Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Then restart the iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Then try charging the battery.

IPad air is slow to charge the battery

My new iPad air is slow to charge the Battery? I am comparing it to an ipad2

Try a different cable
Use the power adapter/charger that came with the device
Don't charge from a PC's USB ports as they likely do not supply enough current to adequately charge the iPad. Charging will be slow.
Don't use an iPhone's charger to charge the iPad. It's not recommended as it does not supply enough current and will charge *very* slowly.
Try to clean out the 30-pin/Lightning port on the device using a clean toothbrush (or similar) & blow it out. There may be dust/lint preventing proper electrical connection. The older 30-pin port is much more prone to dust & lint getting inside and it's internal conductors are very small. Clean the port out thoroughly and also the 30-pin connector on the cable.

When I plug my iPad Air in, it doesn't pick up the charger being plugged in.

When I plug my ipad air in, it doesn't pick up the charger until I move the plug around a few times, and when I let it go, it doesn't pick it up anymore.
ive tried using a different brand charger, and I'm now back to using the one that came with an iPod that I got a few months before the iPad.
the charge cord works perfectly fine on the iPod but doesn't work on the iPad.
this has been happening for a few weeks and it's getting really frustrating.
please help.

Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

IPad Air won't charge with ipad made adapters but only with iPhone's

My ipad air won't charge with any ipad made adapters! but will charge with my iPhone adapter. Oh and I bought my charger and adapter for my iPhone (that I now use for my iPad Air) at a store that doesn't relate to the officials apple store for only 12 dollars sadly when I charge my iPad Air
TTo let you know, my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter

my ipad adapter would always get hot so is it a problem with my ipad or adapter
Since your iPad charges with the phone adapter, the iPad adapter (that is made by who knows) is the problem. You tried to save a few dollars and it did not work. Get a real Apple adapter and your problems will go away.

IPad gets very slow with large apps installed ?

Hi,
I have a 64GB iPad 3 and I noticed it gets very slow when I install large apps. Apps larger than 1 GB.
I have bought a number of excellent reference apps, but can not keep them on my iPad together.
I have to delete one before I can install the next or else my iPad runs into trouble.
I can have about 5 large apps installed and no more.
It takes forever to boot, restarts, has delays when typing and crashes all the time with my large apps installed.
Is this a limitation of iOS 6, or is it because I have dropped below 10 GB of my 64GB storage.
Does my iPad use the storage for memory?
I bought a 64GB so that I could use my large apps.
Sean

10GB of free space should be adequate. Have you done a Reset?
How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.
