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

My iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
You may need to recalibrate your battery.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

Ipad air USB power adapter is not charging

I had to replace my charger twice within the year of having my ipad air in order to get it charging. The first time it happened I went out and bought a new cable (but kept the same adapter the ipad air came with). About a month or so later my ipad was no longer charging. I went out tonight and bought a new wall charger all together (so using a different adapter) and its now charging. I am not sure if this was an issue with the original power adapter or if there is something more going on. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I don't think it's unheard of. Charging issues can be things with the adapter, or with the cable.

Why is the iPad charging very slowly and not completely

The iPad recently has stopped holding its charge and is charging very very slowly--even after being plugged in overnight it is only half charged. I did just download the upgrade and am wondering if that could have something to do with it?

What model iPad is it? Try a reset - press and hold the sleep/wake button and the home button together until you see the Apple logo appear on screen (could take 10-15 seconds be patient), then release them and allow it to finish rebooting normally. Then try charging it again. If that doesn't help then try charging it while it's powered off and see if that helps.
I had the same problem on my iPad 3 a couple of months back, before I upgraded to iOS 7. One day out of the blue it barely charged at all despite several hours on the charger. I powered it off and charged it for 2-3 hours, and it's been fine ever since. I suspect it would have been fine if I'd simply reset or restarted it.

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

I need ur help..i have to unplug and plug the charging pin to my ipad many times until i cam see the icon on the upper right that ia alrdy charging..i often see 'not charging' message many times before it will charge succesfully..need ur help guys.thanka

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.)
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.

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.

My iPad is suddenly charging very slowly. What would cause this?

That should not be the case with the charging. You may want to visit an Apple store and see what they recommend. An iPad will not charge from a USB port on a computer as there is not enough power. You say you are plugging into the wall so I am guessing there is a charger block involved. There may be something wrong with the charger block so it may be worthwhile finding another iPad charger and trying that charger.

Ipad 4 charging very slowly

my ipad 4 charge very slowly it takes 10 to 12 hrs of charging ..

Hi applechargersucks,
If at anytime you are having issues with charging your iPad, consult the article below first. It will have you try out a different cable or USB cable or power adapter if you have one available. If you do not have access to that then I would look into contacting Apple Support.

My ipad drained one day. Now, it charges VERY slowly. There is no beep and no lightning bolt sign. But I know it's charging slowly.

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if it that gets it to boot up ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear and it will boot up.
If that doesn’t fix it then have you got a different cable, and possibly charger, that you could try ?

Got big problem with my iphone , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..

got big problem with my iphone4 , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..

How do you know its charging very very slowly? Is the screen back on?
Once a month you should charge your phone to 100% then drain it, then charge it back up to 100%.
Just leave the phone in and do what is said above.
How long do you think it will take to charge to 100%?

Not exactly. You need a new battery. Apple will replace for about $100
