IPad Air Not Charging

Hi, I just purchased a new iPad Air and I've noticed something odd happening involving the charging process. I have the 12W USB Power Adapter and lightning cable that came with it, a 10W USB Power Adapter from my old iPad 3, and 2 aftermarket lightning cables (from Amazon, not likely Apple certified).
iPad Air iOS 7.1.1:
12W+Apple cable-OK!
10W+Apple cable-OK!
12W+after market cable-"Not Charging"
10W+after market cable-"Not Charging"
(I must clarify-initially it shows charging, but if I let the iPad sleep then wake it up, that's when it says "Not Charging")
..now here is where it gets odd.. I also have an iPhone 5S on iOS 7.1.2..
iPhone 5S iOS 7.1.2
12W+Apple cable-OK!
10W+Apple cable-OK!
12W+after market cable-OK!
10W+after market cable-OK!
(no issues with the same aftermarket lightning cables tested with the iPad Air)
I know Apple has had a warning/pop-up message re: unsupported accessory, cable might not work properly, and up until now I thought that message was software/iOS based.. but now I'm experiencing a flat out lack of compatibility (not even a warning/pop-up message) and it appears to be hardware based. Both my iPad Air and iPhone are running iOS 7.1.x, yet the iPad Air refuses to charge using an aftermarket lightning cable where the iPhone 5S charges without incidence!?
Can anyone shed some light on this situation I'm describing?
Thanks!!

@Demo @Skydiver119, Thank you for your responses.. Since reading them, I started searching for '12W lightning cable'.. it's not really turning up the results I was hoping for.. I can search for 'iPad Air and lightning cable'.. but of course majority of product pages don't post specs like rated wattage, and even some claim compatibility with the iPad Air, but then you read user reviews and they state the cable does not work with the iPad Air..
I am looking for a 10'-12' cable.. I have an unopened Sharper Image 10' cable at home that has 'MFi Certified' on the box.. I will try that and see if it works with the iPad Air.. if it does, I guess I'll start looking for 'MFi Certified' 10'-12' cables.. I know monoprice has one for ~$13.
Thanks!

Ipad Air not charging, now not even starting up

i have iPad air (first generation) slightly more than a year old (conveniently just out of warranty)
for the last few weeks or so, I've been having trouble charging the iPad. sometimes it would charge normally, other times you would plug it in and it would show that it wasn't. I tested with different power supplies, cables, and outlets, so i know they weren't the issue. The only way i was able to get it charging again (and it was trial and error, no one way always worked reliably) was by, switching from the outlet to my computers USB port, (and then sometimes back again to the charger when that didn't work), and rebooting and then switching outlet. But it was very random.
At no point did I ever let the battery run all the way down... However, this morning it did before i realized and the iPad automatically powered down, and now I cannot get it to start without powering down again. Whether plugged into an outlet or my USB port, I am stuck in a 'loop' - where i reboot the iPad (which used to work), it goes to the bright apple screen, then starts up to the home screen and shows 1% charge in the upper right - but doesn't indicate that its charging. Then i immediately get a message of "Low battery - 5% of battery remaining". Then the iPad automatically powers down after 30 seconds or so (or as soon as i try to do something with it). I get the screen showing the big battery with a little red, but it never charges to the point where it reboots on its own. Then i reboot myself, and the cycle starts all over again.
I have tried the method some have suggested elsewhere on this forum of "repeatedly rebooting" until i get a higher percentage of battery charge showing -- which hast worked so far. But even if i did, how do i then get the thing to start charging normally? It simply doesn't charge at all when its plugged in... ??
Is it simply a bad battery (after just a year)?? If so, does that mean they will install a new battery, or that i will have to trade in my personalized 1-year-old iPad for a 'refurbished' one?? Does this mean I will have to be without my iPad for any period of time- and that ill have to restore from backup (which could take over a day)?
Thanks for any and all help....

thanks for the reply
i have since called apple phone support and brought it into the apple store
both ran battery diagnostics and said battery was fine: phone support blamed a potentially faulty power port. apple genius was convinced it was the third party USB/lightning cables i use from monoprice, which I've used for months and the two i am currently using are brand new. he rushed me through and strongly suggested i buy an apple cable (my 2 original apple cables for this and my iPhone frayed within months and were unusable).
Strangely, it seems to be working now. Though the two monoprice power cables now only work on one side, and not if you flip it (if i use them with my iPhone, it doesn't matter which side, so i still suspect something is funky with the port. Its out of warranty by a couple of months, so if i have to replace it it will cost like $300 plus the time to ship it in repair it and send back (1-2 weeks).

We cannot get our Ipad Air to charge. We have tried the wall plug and the computer plug in. It just gives us a message saying it's not charging.

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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.
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.

My ipad is not charging and cannot on

my ipad is not charging and cannot on

I am having the same issue with my iPad Air since upgrading to iOS 8.3. I need to close all open apps and power off the device with the plug attached, it then reboots and is receiving a charge. This did not happen prior to the update and it happens whatever charger/cord combination I connect.

After trying to down ios 7, iPad will not charge, will not open and will not connect to itunes. The only display I will get is the apple logo, or low battery warning.

After trying to download ios 7, iPad will not charge, will not open and will not connect to itunes. Sometimes, screen will switch from Apple logo to low battery notification, but doesn't look as if battery is charging.

Connect with cable to computer. Your ipad is in recovery mode.

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

Ipad 4 not charging with the ORIGINAL Power adapter that came in the box. Can't charge my iPad. I plugged in on PC all night and has been charged to 7%

Yesterday, as usual was going to charge my iPad, it was at 1%. Well, I took my ipad charger (original Apple official, I want to clarify that as a first step, I'm using the brand products than Apple) and plugged into an outlet ... The ipad began loading the first two minutes , then I got a notification telling me that the iPad could not charge with the charger.
I was quite surprised by the announcement. I disconnected and reconnected it .... again, I received the same notification. Then I disconnected and tried it on another outlet ... anything, yet. then I tried it on another outlet and ipad started charging. but after a while I had the same notice, not paying attention to that. I left it charging and I removed roughly 25% that of fear for something to happen. also remembered that situation (made 2-3 months ago where the iPad was not charging but after waiting a while disconnected, reconnected it and loaded normally).
so I decided to wait to re-connect the iPad to the outlet. This time, I plugged it into the outlet (fully discharged) at night and expected to find it loaded in the morning. But my surprise is that it still is off, it did not load anything.
I Bought the iPad in December 2012. Do you think that my iPad is hurt?
What can I do? Ay recommendation?
Please, HELP ME!

Try giving your iPad a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. You may also want to swap out the cable, just to confirm or rule out that it's bad.
If none of those fixes work, make the appointment at your apple store and have them check it out.

HT4060 iPad will not charge if hooked by USB to pc or plugged into wall. How do I know if the problem is with iPad, cable or power adapter. I have a 12, 10 and 5W adapters no success with any. Only one lightening cable so can't swap cables.

Hi my new ipad will not charge in mains or PC??

hi I have had my brand new ipad for about a month and i can't seem to get it to charge it charges when it wants so to speak, I've tryed it in the mains in about 10 different plug sockets and on 3 PC's one been a laptop and it doen't charge when you want it to. what help can you give me?????

When you plug into a computer, it may say "not Charging", but it will charge but slowly. If this is the case, the cable is good. Therefore, the wall charger must be defective.
Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

IPad 3 not charging in greece

I have all the right connectors and I'm get the Not Charging message when I plug it in to charge. it worked at the Amsterdam airport, but now in Greece it doesn't. Using the exact same connection in Greece, my wife's iPad 2 does charge correctly. Does anyone know why it's not working for my iPad 3? Amsterdam and Greece use the same outlets, can't figure out why it worked at airport but not here.

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.
