Ipad and laptop

hi
when i plug my ipad 2 to my laptop the ipad does not charge is that meant to happen and is there away the ipad can charge from my laptop?
thanks
shannon

Laptop USB ports haven't sufficient power to charge an iPad. That's why it comes with the separate AC adaptor. Your computer's USB port will at best trickle charge it meaning it will keep the battery at it's current charge rate but will not charge the battery.

  • My ipad and laptop were stolen, how can I get my data back?

    Both my ipad and laptop were stolen. Ive downloaded itunes onto a new laptop but none of my files are there. I was using iCloud.Can anyone help?

    You're music can be downlooaded (if it was purchased using iTunes) have you signed into your account in iTunes on the new laptop?
    If the music was not purchased from iTunes and you are using iTunes Match you can also download it. If you are not using iTunes Match music that was not purchased from iTunes is gone.

  • Hi, I have apple account/password on laptop but can't use the same ID etc on new Ipad.  On my account it says ID is only for 1 system.  I really want only one ID for both Ipad and laptop. Thanks

    It seems that you have used the AppleIDs to "Purchase" your devices, which marries the two for all time and eternity.

  • Ipad and Laptop yearly service

    Who do I talk to at Apple. When I bought my ipad and laptop nobody asked me if I wanted to join the Apple training system yearly. I understand you can only sign up when you buy them but was not aware of that and was not asked.

    Simple, you were not told about 121 probably because its only available when you buy a laptop or desktop. iPad and iPhone are not eligible.
    Or maybe that terminology is not used everywhere, Victor: I'm on my third Apple laptop and the term is new to me -- though I do have AppleCare (1 year extended to 3 yrs); is that 121?

  • Syncing my iPAD and laptop

    I presently have a Blackberry, IPAD and laptop.
    I have signed up to mobile me in an effort to synchronise my diaries, contacts, etc but am unaware if the Blackberry is causing the problem. Can I get just the laptop and IPAD to sync using mobile me and if so, how?
    Thanks

    Hi and welcome.....
    MobileMe does not support Blackberry. If you are using Bluetooth on your Blackberry, turn that off if it's in range of your iPad.
    In order to sync your MobileMe account with your iPad, you need to sync first with your computer.
    Connect your iPad to your PC. Launch iTunes. Make sure iTunes recognizes the iPad under Devices on the left side of the iTunes window. Select the Info tab from the menu. Select the Address Book Contacts / Calendars / Mail Accounts. Click the Sync button bottom right side of the iTunes window.
    If you have problems after the sync is completed, click here.

    do a reboot.  press and hold both the home and sleep buttons intil you see the apple logo.  ignore the red slider.  Also, make sure the mail app is fully closed.  doulbe tap to see the task bar, then swipe up on the mail app.

    How do I sync my email so I don't have to delete it on my iPad and Comcast acct on laptop

    I don't believe that Comcast uses IMAP, unfortunately. The best solution might be to access your email through Comcast's specialized app: http://xfinity.comcast.net/learn/internet/mobile-iphone-itouch-ipad/

  • Intermitent connection of Apple Ipad and laptop to...

    New member, so please excuse me if this subject has been covered in the many posts.
    I have been using the BT HH1 for about 6 years and have a desk top using the ethernet cable. Connected my daughters IPad about 5 months ago.  Also I have two ther laptops (Dell) that are connected.  All working well until Christmas when one of the laptops could not connect to the HH1 ( but was able to identify it through a search) and neither could the Ipad.  The other laptop (Dell) was ok.  the Ipad,like the laptop, could identify the HH1 as a connection but not able to connect.  Switched off the HH 1 at the mains and and then switch on again.  All working ok whein I did this.  As soon as all PC's and laptop were switched off and left overnight reconnection was not possible, althrough the ethernet was ok.  Switched off (using the mains only) the HH1 and reconnected the HH1(using the mains) and all working again.  Can't keep doing this !!!!!!   Spoke with BT help desk who put me on a higher channel speed but the problem has not gone away.  Spoke to Apple who said it was the router.  Lots of comments about this problem with various versions of the BT HH, but no answers other than switch off and on.  Anyone any ideas ????????? 

    It sounds like a faulty home hub 1, as they do suffer from faulty power units and failing wireless.
    The first thing to try is a factory reset, by pressing and holding in the "wireless association" button for about 20 seconds.
    This will restart the home hub, and reload the default config file, which can get corrupted.
    It also worth making sure that you set the wireless encryption to WPA, as the default on the home hub 1 is WEP, which is very easily hacked into by other users.
    Also some wireless adapters do not work very well with WEP.

  • My iPad and laptops don't recognize the wifi hotspot on iPhone 4 iOS 4.3

    I think there is an issue with the iOS 4.3 software upgrade. My iPad or laptops don't recognize the wifi personal hotspot on my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.3). Tethering only works on an USB cable on my laptop. I'm not sure why I upgraded my data plan with AT&T to this tethering plan today, only to lose my unlimited plan? Please fix this issue asap. My iPad did recognize my iPhone personal hotspot for a few minutes, but after entering the password, I get the message "unable to connect to the network". Is this an isolated or mass problem???

    Any iphone locked to ATT cannot be used with any other sim, unless the phone is jailbroken.  In your case, the advice you got is correct.  You iphone cannot be used unless in the US with an ATT sim.  Apple can do nothing.

  • Browsing on ipad and laptop

    why wont my ipad browsing appear on my windows 7 laptop

    Only if you are using Safari (andI'm not 100% certain even then if on a windows machine) and have iCloud activated to synch them.
    I beleive Chrome will do that on pretty much any device (assuming you have Chrome on the computer and the iPad, and have logged in), but not certain.

  • I have a new laptop that I want to transfer my Itunes account to so I can sync my ipad and laptop. I do not want to lose the info on the ipad

    I lost my old laptop I used to sync my ipad with. I also have a new email address. I have a new laptop and new email address, and want to use it to sync my ipad. I have been trying to sync both items without losing the info on my Ipad. How can I do this?

    No. You're allowed up to 5 or somehting, but if you don't deauthorize the old one, when you log into the store and look up your prefs you'll see it say 2 authorized computers.
    And you're welcome.

  • How do I move my iphone/ipad and laptop to a separate account?

    My family and I have shared the same itunes account/appleID and have waay too many devices to keep track of. Presently there are 3 of us, we are homesharing the account on our individual lap tops and each have our own iphone and ipads backed up our personal laptop. We've had some confusion with devices mixing and matching our email addresses and phone numbers for facetime and messaging - this is the real reason I want to seperate the accounts. However, I don't want to lose anything I purchased on my new ipad, including the updates.
    If I just synched my devices with my own laptop, will there be any negative side effects of creating a new apple ID and itunes account that is specific for me?
    will this completely remove my devices from the existing account or must i do that manually by changing the apple id on the phone and ipad?
    is there an ideal order of steps to do this, meaning creating the new appleID, new itunes and getting my devices to use them?
    how will I be able to delete the association of my devices to the exisiting appleID or will that automatically occur when the devices are given a new apple ID? I know a homeshare is limited to a set number of devices and I can't remember how to take one off.
    Should I turn off homeshare at my laptop since my laptop and devices will switch itunes accounts from that of the spouse and teen?
    thanks

    should I just cry uncle and go to the local genius bar for instructions lol

    Assuming your desktop is Windows Vista or Windows 7?  Have you changed computers?  Do you use Palm Desktop, or Microsoft Outlook?  When was the last time you Hotsynced to your computer?
    Perhaps you used Palm Desktop 6.2.2?  Select the Support tab at the top of the screen, click on Handhelds, and look for Palm Desktop 6.2.2.
