Ipad charger breaking a lot

I tend to always have my Ipad on charge because what I do causes me to need constant charge, the cord isn't bent on a severe angle and I always pull it out by the connecter not the cord itself and it never changes location. I've spoken to apple online and done diagnostics on my ipad , they say the hardware is fine.
And I know for a fact I'm not doing anything wrong because I've been doing the exact same thing for 3-4 year with an ipad 1 and I only ever had 2 chargers for that.
So tell me, what should I do?

This should be what you're looking for.
Lightning cable keeps on breaking - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5016869?start=15&tstart=0
I have this cable durability problem on my iPad 4 too. The included cable only lasted one month, and I was able to get a free replacement from the Apple store under its one-year warranty.
This contrasted with my old 30-pin connector, with which I have had no issues with for about 5 years.

  • HT4060 I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual

    I'm having some problems with my ipad and charging it. I am having to leave it in charge for a lot longer, but when I take it out and want to use it the battery is still not completely full and goes down a lot faster than usual. The other day, I had charged  my iPad overnight so that I could take it to university with me for the day, and when I had switched it on the next day the battery was on 5% and I had not used it since charge.

    Your battery may be dying. THey are only good for so many charges/discharges. If you have an apple store near by make an appointment and have them check itout

  • Can I use the iPad charger as a live USB hub?

    If i was to use my iPad charger (after removing the cable), as a live USB hub for my external speakers, would that cause damage to the charger? Would this set up work? I've blown up a mac charger before with these experiments, don't wanna do another.

    The problems with the Apple Maps app were overblown. Yes, there were some isolated accuracy and direction issues when it was released, but Apple has made a lot of improvement since then. I use it on my iPhone all the time and have yet had problems. It doesn't always choose the same route I would have chosen, but that's with all navigation apps.

  • IPad charger caused electrical short?

    I bought my 3G yesterday. Today, after about 30 seconds after unplugging my iPad from the charger cable, sparks and loud noise came from the outlet where the charger was still plugged in. I unplugged it from the GFCI outlet and the sparks stopped.
    After checking and resetting the breaker(it wasn't tripped, but I reset it anyway), the outlet is dead. But I don't care about the outlet. The charger still works but my wife is concerned that there is a problem with it.
    Any clue if there is a problem with the chargers?

    It may have been purely coincidental that the iPad charger was plugged in when the outlet failed. Since the GFI didn't trip and it should have in that situation, I'm guess that the outlet itself was at fault rather than the charger since you didn't have anything plugged in to the charger that would be drawing power.

  • IPod iPad charger

    Hello I have an iPod Touch and an iPad and they both have wall chargers however they are mixed up.
    I have had no idea which charger belonged to which device for a few months now and it seemed to work fine however I just doscovered the iPad charger is actually more powerful than the iPod one.
    I know you can do it with Macs if you have a charger which is too powerful but not with one that is designed for a smaller Mac. Is this the same for the i devices?
    My question is is it OK to charge the iPad with the iPod charger and vice versa?
    ...What about MacBook chargers...? I noticed I can fit the charger from my iPod/iPad to my MacBook charger...what would happen if I was to charge my little iPod with a MacBook Pro charger...?

    You can safely use the iPad's charger with iPods and iPhones : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4327 . The iPod's charger is half the power - it will charge the iPad but it will be a lot slower.
    The iPad's charger is 10W, which should be written on it somewhere, possibly in very faint grey writing.
    I don't know whether it is safe or not, but personally I wouldn't use an iPad/iPod charger with a Mac or vice versa

  • There is a problem with the charging cable that wont let my iPad charge. it is probably the little usb thingy. it does charge when it is out of power, but as soon as it turns on it stops charging. anyone got a fix for it? mail me at simenrognli@hotmail.no

    My chargers little USB port probably is the fail. it lets my ipad charge only when it is completely out of power, but as soon as it turns on, it stops charging. Any tips on what i can do? The charger is new and has worked until today. i cant bring it to the store because it was bought in my neighbour country Sweden. Thanks in advance.

    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You can still go if your country has Genius Bars

  • When I try to turn on my iPhone 4, it wouldn't turn on unless if I use an iPad Charger. When it will turn on. I can't connect to any WiFi Services or my Service Provider, I can't text or call anyone. When I unplug my iPhone 4 it'll just shut off.

    So when I try to plug in My iPhone 4 to any plug it won't turn on or charge unless if I use an iPad charger. When I do get to turn it on. My Phone will Standby for a few seconds( While I'm Typing my 4-Digit Code) then it'll unlock and go to the home screen. Once I'm on the home Screen I can't Call, Text or Email anyone because my iPhone Can't detect any Wifi Hotspots and it also can't connect to my Service Provider, It'll just Say "Searching...". The non-internet apps work perfectly fine. So since I was able to use Just an iPad Charger to turn on my iPhone 4, I tried a Regular iPhone charger that were plugged into a wall or my computer. When its Plugged in, my iPhone will turn on ( Showing the Apple Logo) then turn back off. It'll constanly do this only when it's plugged into a Regular iPhone Charger, Either plugged into a Wall Socket or my Computer. So I Tried to Restore the Phone by using some of the Methods, given by other iPhone 4 Users, non of them worked. My iPhone won't Restart, Restore, Turn on without a Charger, Be Detected on my Computer and Detect my Service Provider. I really need help to fix my iPhone 4. I'm really not sure if it's a Malfunction with the Software on the iPhone, if my Sim Card is Broken. if the System is Corrupted but it only happens Rarely.

  • My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

    My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
    Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

  • Freight Charges Break up in PLD

    Dear all,
    Can any one help me in showing the freight charges break up in PLD. My client is putting Packing and Forwarding charges along with the freight charges in the freight
    for example,
    freight = 100
    P&F = 20
    but in document it will display as freight = 120
    how can i show this break up in PLD
    please help me experts..
    thanks and regards,
    Yeshwanth Prakash

    Dear Yeshwanth,
    This could be possible via UDF and FMS. Please try the following:
    1. Create UDFs on Marketing Document header level - number of UDF
       depending on the max number of Additional Expenses from the OEXD
    2. Use query like below for UDF1:
       SELECT T2.EXPNSNAME + ' ' + STR(T1.LINETOTAL) + ' ' +
              STR(T1.VATSUM) + ' ' + STR(T1.VATPRCNT)
              + ' ' + STR(T1.LINEVAT)
       FROM   OINV T0
         INNER JOIN INV3 T1
           ON T0.DOCENTRY = T1.DOCENTRY
         INNER JOIN OEXD T2
           ON T1.EXPNSCODE = T2.EXPNSCODE
       WHERE  T0.DOCNUM = $OINV.DocNum
         AND T1.LINENUM = 0
       Use query like below for UDF2:
       SELECT T2.EXPNSNAME + ' ' + STR(T1.LINETOTAL) + ' ' +
              STR(T1.VATSUM) + ' ' + STR(T1.VATPRCNT)
              + ' ' + STR(T1.LINEVAT)
       FROM   OINV T0
         INNER JOIN INV3 T1
           ON T0.DOCENTRY = T1.DOCENTRY
         INNER JOIN OEXD T2
           ON T1.EXPNSCODE = T2.EXPNSCODE
       WHERE  T0.DOCNUM = $OINV.DocNum
         AND T1.LINENUM = 1
    and so on.
    NOTE: The line number is important as there can be more than
    one additional expense for the same Document Number;
    Note that the query draws the details of one single record per
    from the Add Expenses Table. You can make the amendments in the
    query as required by either removing or adding more fields;
    like increase space between the fields etc
    3. Add the UDF to the Layout.
    Hope this will help.

    I recently got an extension cord for my ipad charger and the first time I used it it worked and now when I plug it in to my ipad It doesn't do anything. What do I do?

    I think that we all understood what you meant. If the extension cord is no longer working, then return it.
    We are all trying to tell you that you can plug the power block into a standard household extension cord - using the short cord that came with the iPad - and there is no need for the extension cord that you bought.

    Has anyone gone to Europe from the US and used the IPAD charger with only a plug adapter?  I want to be sure I won't burn up my IPAD.

    Just using an adapter will be fine.  The charger can handle to 220V just as well as the 110V

  • Using iPad charger w/ iPhone 3GS

    Is it safe to do so? I'd like to carry only one charger.

    I'm sorry but you are wrong.
    Both chargers are 5 VOLT. one is 5 watts and one is 10 watts. These are based on maximum amperages before the voltage drops. If you put an iPhone on the ipads charger it will see 5 volts as it always does. It has an inherent internal resistance and will draw a specific amount of amperage and hence power from the charger.
