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.

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?

Power Adapter Does Not Charge the Battery and Charge Light Is On?
My power adapter doesn't charge my computer anymore. however the charge light is on.
Please help my battery is draining fas

So, with your power adaptor connected not only does the battery not charge but the powerbook is not running on ac power. Then I guess the power adaptor is faulty. In as much as you've verified this with a known good one a new one is in order. Try yours in another powerbook to make sure.

MacBook Pro using power adapter but not charging.

My MacBook Pro is plugged in w/the power adapter, the green charging light is on, but my battery percentage is only showing 15% and is not increasing. It was actually at 60% this afternoon...went to 22% and now is @ 15%.

Could be bad battery or faulty charger or faulty charging circuitry. Take it to an Apple store or AASP.

PLEASE HELP! POWER ADAPTER IS NOT CHARGING, THIS PROBLEM IS GETTING STUPID!

Someone out there, if you care pleeasee help me,
I have had this problem for a couple months now,
It all started when my friends computer (same, black macbook) started saying (calculating until....) all the time he had his charger plugged in, and the LED was a very dim green, he used my charger to put power into his battery, I then put his charger into my computer and noticed that the battery life did not change when i was using my macbook, later on that day, I plugged my own charger into my laptop and it did not charge, it also said (calculating until....) and the LED was a dim green, now I have used all the power in my battery and when i remove my charger my computer turns off.
I bought a new battery thinking it would resolve the problem, when I changed the batteries the new one had 39%, i plugged my charger in and it still failed to charge, not wanting to use a new battery i put my old battery back in.
Then thinking it must be my charger, I got a working one off of a friend, i watched it charge perfectly in his brothers computer and when i plugged it into my computer, the LED was a very dim green, and it still failed to charge.
I've tried all the apple, restart your NVRAM and SMC stuff. 2 of my friends have exactly the same problem and we're clueless. Does anyone know what is going on, this computer has my life on it, heelpp meeee pleeaaseeee!
thank you

WHAT?!?!?!? You spent FOURTEEN HUNDRED DOLLARS to get a new LB? Is this a typo? I don't think I even paid that much for my MB in the first place! Please tell me that's a typo!
I'm in the same general position: MacBook over a year old (16 months), no AppleCare, sudden apperance of the miserable black X ("No batteries available", my A$$!)... I've tried it all: reset the PRAM and SMC, installed Battery Update... I ran all the tricks and treats I could find on the "official" AND not-so-official Apple boards. No go. Performs just fine on AC, but the battery is gonzo. HellOOOo! A LAPTOP is supposed to be PORTABLE!!
I guess it's off for an hour-long ride to the closest Apple store for me. I'm hoping a Genius will take pity on my poor, un-warranty-havin' self and just swap my craptastic battery for a brand-spankin' new one -- AND I'm hoping that'll be the end of it! I get sick to my stomach at the idea of having to send my little baby off for service. I think I'd have to buy an external hard drive to back up all my photos and music and other files...
I've already suffered through the Random Shutdown circle of heII. And, as I type, my wrists are a-resting on a decidedly PINK-tinged interior plastic... I hate that my precious little MacBook has had all these problems. I know buying a new unit might resolve this, but I don't want a big ol' MBP or another MB! I want THIS machine!!! (to work)
Rant over.

Ipad 2 USB power adapter

The power adapter block looks like you could pull it apart, does anyone know if it does?

Charging Macbook with Macbook Air's power adapter

I have noticed that the power connector on the late 2008 aluminum Macbook accepts the Macbook Air's power adapter's plug. The Macbook Air's power connector also accepts the aluminum Macbook's power adapter's connector. So, can these power adapters be used interchangeably? The output power specifications are a little different. The Macbook Air's power adapter supplies voltage that is a bit lower than the aluminum Macbook's.
The reason I am asking is that if my wife and I both travel with our laptops (she has Macbook Air and I have the new Macbook), it would be nice to be able to bring only one power adapter and use it with both laptops. I have also noticed that the airplane power adapter shipping with the aluminum Macbook (late 2008) is the same one that I bought for my wife's Macbook Air. However, according to Apple, the airline power adapter does not charge the battery, but only powers the laptop.

It is safe to use your macbook power adapter on the macbook air, but not the otherway around. The macbook air power adapter won't supply enough power to the macbook and probably will overheat and eventually burn out (if not worse).

I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up.

HT4060 My I pad 2 is not charging throuh USB Power Adapter but it is chrging from computer through USB (with sign of no charging). Would you please give any solution for that?

I have facing problem of charging my I pad through USB power adapter. It is not giving any response when connected to power adapter. When it is connected with USB port of computer it is charging with sign of "not charging" and it takes long time to cahrge. please help me to sove my problem.

I have no idea why the iPad would not be charging with another power adapter but will charge thought the USB port on your computer. Try rebooting the iPad.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up
If that doesn't help, I think that the next thing that I would try would be to reset all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. If you do this, all device settings will have to be re-entered and tha does take some time to do.

HT1665 Can I use a 10 W USB power adapter from an IPad to charge an iPhone 5s.

I have 10 W. USB power adapter that I bought for my iPad. Can I plug my iPhone 5s into it to charge? I see that the adapter that comes with the 5s is listed at 5 watts.

volts are pushed amps are drawn
if a charger provide the 5volts ios devices were meant to be charged by it does not matter
if it can provide 1000 amps making it a 5000W device because of ohms law which state W = Amps * Volts

IPad won't charge using power adapter but will charge via USB

I have an iPad 1 that recently stopped charging using the power adapter. "Broken power adapter or cable" I thought and reached for a spare that I have. That didn't work either. The original power adapter however DID charge another iPad without any problems, so the problem cannot be with the adapter or cable.
Now this is the wierd bit - using the original cable plugged into my laptop I get the usual "Not charging" message but the iPad DOES charge slowly this way.
I rebooted the iPad, restarted it in recovery mode and restored the firmware, cleaned out the 30-pin connector port - all those useful bits of advice that you find on the internet but all to no avail. The iPad just will not charge using any of the many original Apple iPad charger sthat I have been able to get my hands on but will only charge on an underpowered USB port!
The 30-pin connector must work otherwise it wouldn't charge via USB. Can there be some kind of wierd internal hardware defect that might cause such behavior?
I fear that if I take a 3 year old iPad to the Apple Store they might just give me their best smile and show me the latest iPads but this old iPad works fine otherwise and I don't really want to replace it.
Anyone got any ideas?

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.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
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.

Ipod shuffle 2nd gen does not charge on new 5W USB power adapter

Hi,
my perfectly functional ipod shuffle 2nd gen with original dock will not charge with the new Continental Europe 5W USB power adapter, even though the specs of the power adapter include the 2nd generation shuffle. Shuffle will blink orange three times, longer than normal blinking, and then do nothing. probably nothing I can do about it, but worth a note. The US model of the new 5W adapter does not include the 2nd gen shuffle, so maybe it is an error on the apple specs page.
Maybe the 2nd gen needs more than 5W to charge?

indeed, it needs the bigger 12 Watt Adapter and the apple site is wrong.

HT4060 Hi, I have bought iPad air, and got apple 12w USB Power Adapter with pin flat plug. It is a problem for me. I live in Switzerland and the electric outlet is suitable only for round pin plug.
