IPad Air Charger Question

Hello! I just bought an iPad Air and it came with a 10W Power Brick. It charges pretty slowly. From what I've read I thought they came with a 12W brick. What do I need t odo?

From the online Apple store's iPad Air item page Frequently Asked Questions section:
Which power adapter should I use to charge my iPad?
iPad Air 2 and iPad Air come with a 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad mini 3 and iPad mini 2 come with a 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad mini comes with a 5W USB Power Adapter. If you need to purchase an additional adapter, choose the 12W adapter because it can charge all iPad models.

You can choose to buy a 12 watt adapter if you want.
But as it stands, the 10 watt charger is the correct charger to be included with an iPad Air.

Why won't my iPad air charge anymore? I bought a new cable but it still doesn't charge, it is only 3 months old.

If you are still having problems with your iPad, it is still under AppleCare.
Bring it into an Apple Store to have it diagnosed and repaired under warranty.

Iphone5 and ipad air charger

During vacations i need to charge my iphone5 and ipad air. But I wont to take only one charger. Which one is better to take: iphone5 or ipad air .

Take the iPad Air charger.

IPad Air charging VERY slowly, sometimes "not charging" entirely.

I'm using the charger that came with the new iPad Air in a wall outlet, but it charges incredibly slowly. We're talking like 10% charge in about an hour's time. Sometimes, even with the same set up, it says "not charging" all together. I think it charges even slower when doing it through my MacBook Air. Is anyone else having this issue with their new iPad Air charging slowly?

Same issue here. At least 4 hours on the charger and only 50%. Pretty **** annoying really. I love the new Apple stuff, but every time I upgrade to a new phone, laptop or iPad I end up having to take it into the Genius bar and get it replaced. Is it too difficult to conduct more thorough testing or at least get something right.
Going to tough it out for another week before I make the long journey to the Apple store to wait in a line.
It seems the online support doesn't accept my serial number as it is 'yet to be a supported device'....well done Apple, outdoing yourselves as always

Is it safe to leave the ipad air charging for hours even tho it's full?

IPad air charger not working?

Bought on Friday, it's now Sunday evening,... Went to recharge the ipad Air with the original 12w plug and no sign of charging?
Tried the 10w ipad 2 plug with the new lighting cable and no sign of charging.
Tried the same cable in ancient iPod Classic plug, and it worked... Plug got very warm so disconnected, but it did suggest it was charging.
Did a hard system reboot, but no change.
Any thoughts before I take it back to the shop??? Looking elsewhere.... It looks like I not the only one with this fault. Is there a recall on the way ?? :-(

Hello,
Same problem here. After some plug and unplug
it started to work again .... But this is strange.
Does your replacement works ?

IPad 3 Charging question

I just got my iPad 3 today, and it seem like the charger have some problem at first (but now okay, the charger is not charging my iPad 3 at first and I did a reboot, now all good.)
Well my question is, when you turn off your iPad 3 while charging, is that normal that the screen do not display any battery sign?
Just nothing? Or there will be a battery sign (like a green battery telling that you are charging the iPad 3?)

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 Air charging problem

Hello, i got ipad air 2 days ago and i wanted to charge it now but i got error message "this accessory may not be supported" )I AM USING ORIGINAL CHARGER) i tried to google that problem but nothing works! :(

if it is new, take it in and show them. You might want to borrow a different charger and a different cable just to see if that is the issue.

My ipad air charging plug is getting hot. Should I be concerned?

My original iPad Air had to be replaced because of a hardware problem. Then my charging cord also had to be replaced. Now I am noticing that my charging plug is getting hot. Should I be concerned? Thanks. This is the plug on the end of the charging cord that came with my iPad, of course.

Make sure you are using the 10W/12W charger.
5W charger will get hot if you use it to charge the iPad.
