Ipad Charging & 30 pin connector

Having used my Ipad for about 13 months with no problem, it suddenly has issues with charging.
It will charge extremely slowly with the 10W charger that I have been using for the whole period, but it doesn't have the charging symbol over the battery in the top right corner.

if restarting it
and if trying out another cable and or charger dont help
any I would take it in for repair

IPod can no longer sync or charge, bad pin connectors?

I've got an iPod touch thats a year old now that suddenly no longer will charge/sync to anything. I'm thinking maybe the pins are bad?
I've had difficulty inserting chargers into it since I got it, I've been careful to not handle it too roughly but it does take a strong push to get the charger in there. Of all the ipods I've had (and i had the first gen iPod touch before this too) over the years, never had that problem.
Before I get a bunch of "just reset it" kinds of replies, it is functioning properly other then that. Last night I did have it hooked up and synced to my Mac so it fully charged, but just now I went to connect it and now it refuses to connect at all. I've tried 2 cords, and with the same cords I plugged my iPhone in as well and it all worked fine, so it's definitely not my other hardware. iPod software is also up to date as well.
I haven't had a real issue of it not syncing with my computer before today, but in the past month it's had issues staying properly synced to my car radio (play it through USB). It would sometimes drop off or glitch up and not want to work correctly, though in the past week it started working more normally again.
I listen to my ipod as much as humanly possibly, so I'm wondering if this something I can take to the Apple Store and see if its fixable or replaceable. I've been looking for a great excuse to get the new red ipod touch but I've been unemployed since August.. Of course it has to break before I get a new job
Has anyone else had the issue of having difficulty getting the sync cords into their ipod touches/problems where the pins just die?
EDIT: Nevermind. My imac suddenly wont sync my iphone either but I plugged the ipod into the iphone charger and it synced immediately. It's something on my computer's end.

*all the songs are there, but there are shown in light grey and not able to be high lighted.*
*I'm also not able to play from my ipod list, only from my itunes??*
Grey text when you look at the content and a lock symbol at the bottom of the screen just indicates that the iPod is set to sync automatically with iTunes. If you want to play the iPod songs through iTunes, delete songs from the iPod, drag songs from iTunes, add playlists to the iPod etc. you need to change the update setting to "manually manage songs and videos" as per the link above. The text will change from grey to black and everything will be directly accessible through iTunes
*I have seen a friend plug his ipod into some one elses computer and the same thing happened, it showed all the content but he was not able to access it, or modify it.*
Again that's most likely because the iPod was set to auto-sync with his home library. If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer or with more than one library you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
*Before I backed up my itunes libary from my external hard drive, and itunes was empty, it would not allow itunes to be copyied from my ipod?*
iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod.

Lightning to 30 pin connector not charging my nano from my dock

Is it just me, or does the Apple Lightning to 30 pin connector not pass charge correctly?
I bought a new iPod Nano a few weeks ago, not realising I would be getting one of the new Lightning connector ones, so when I ordered my iPad from Apple I also bought a Lightning to 30 pin connector so that I can properly use my JBL dock (which is quite old, bought it with my old 5th Gen iPod). Although it's great that it connects and allows me to control the iPod with the remote control and is a **** of a lot neater than dangling it by a cable from the headphone jack to the RCA input on the dock, I'm getting really frustrated by the fact that I'm not getting any charge being passed through to the iPod from the dock. This was one of the best things about having a dock, not only could I play my music with a good quality sound from the speakers, I could also play it all day long without worrying about the battery consumption as it was being charged at the same time. Now, if I've been using the iPod at the gym through the week, I find that I'm having to take the iPod off the dock and charge via a wall charger or my laptop - the latter allowing me to rever to the old way of hooking the iPod to the dock via headphone jack. It's really annoying that I've spent so much money on something that doesn't do everything I'd expected of it. I'm wondering if it's faulty or if it's the age of the dock - which I haven't used with an iPod for about 5 years!
Has anyone else had this problem?

Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

New iPad with retina display with 30 pin connector mirroring to TV with dvi adapter problems after software update

Hi. Good day to everyone my New iPad with retina display 30 pin connector will not mirror to TV even with divi adapter after software update. Adapter works fine. Or is it a software glitch with IOS 7.04? I've tried resetting and reconnecting nothing seems to work.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

30 pin Belkin cord not working with 12W Ipad charger

Title
30 pin Belkin cord not working with 12W Ipad charger
Updated my ipad to ios7
Old charger stopped working
Got new charger
Still not charging
Help
Please thank you

Seems as if your tried changing everything but the 30-pin cable. Does the same cable work if you connect the iPad to your PC (does the PC recognize that the iPad is plugged in)?
Inspect the 30-pin port on the iPad for dust/lint which likes to get trapped inside. Clean out/blow out the 30-pin port on the iPad using a soft brush (like a paint brush).
Also inspect and clean the 30-pin connector on the cable. Even just a small amount of dust or lint on the connectors (especially in the 30-pin port on the device) can cause charging issues.

How can i use my iPad 2 as a display via the 30 pin connector ?

i want to use my ipad as a display from a range of devises like my video camer, computer and dvd player. The ipad outputs its display, so is there a way of using the 30 pin connector to input video?

Hi there,
At this time you cannot use your iPad as a display like you describe.
However, you can buy the extra Camera Connection Kit, to import video and pictures from some camera's and SD Cards.
I urge you to submit feedback to Apple:

I have not yet seen any official response to the question: "Is the Apple AV Composite cable fully supported with 30pin connector devices upgraded with iOS7 - specifically ? - eg. iPad 2, iPhone 4, iPhone 4s"
If it is not currently supported is that then due to a bug / oversight and in that case is it something that will be fixed in the near future?
Please let us know what feedback you got from asking Apple support.

Have you tried resetting both the iPod and dock? To reset the iPod, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
To reset the dock, unplug it and plug it back in.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Unless you bought the iPad directly from Apple in the last couple of weeks, you likely cannot exchange your 3G for the 4G.

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.

Where can I get an iPad US 3 pin charger?

There I was in San Francisco airport, happily trying to plug in my iPad charger, but the socket was for a modern US 3 pin plug and the 2 pin plug just kept falling out. Useless.

You can always use a portable surge protector or an extension cord with the 3 prongs. I see many portable surge protectors are including USB ports as well although make sure they are 10 watt or more if you wish to charge a full size iPad with their ports. You should be able to find these at any electronics, hardware or office supply stores.
It has been my experience the extra ground prong may help a little however in most cases it does little to help hold the plug in a worn socket. The extra weight of my Belkin 3-Outlet Mini Surge Protector pretty much defeats any extra grip the extra prong has. I have a single outlet no-name surge protector I believe I picked up at WalMart which is also not much help for a worn out wall outlet. The portable surge protectors are a good solution to help protect your gadgets when traveling and you should probably carry one in your bag any ways.
Best solution I have found for motels I frequent is to report worn outlets to the desk. They know me well at most places I stay and worn sockets are happily replace with in one day. Not sure who you would report one at an airport.

Adapter to charge iPhone 5 from 12 volt 30-pin connector

I have a 2005 VW that lets me play an iPod through the car stereo. That's good. However the connection is via a 30-pin connector with 12 V (Firewire I think) charging circuit. So an iPhone or newer iPod won't charge. I'd like to use it with an iPhone 5 which means I need an adapter for a Lightning connector. Does anybody know of a way to make this work? I'd like to be able to both play music from the phone and charge the phone.
In case it helps / makes a difference the interface to the radio is VW part number 1K0051444.

If the VW wiring is the old firewire implementation( and from that date it probably is ) then you will need
a 30 to 30 pin adapter to change the wiring for newer Apple devices .I used Scosche brand adapter successfully ( a premium brand )
Then to use a lightning device the Apple 30 pin to lightning adapter .( Use Apple for best chance of success, cheap knockoffs I would not recommend )
Wll it will work ,who knows but if you want this simple solution give it a try
ps I doubt there is 12 v in the ols 30 pin connector ,it will be 5v but pins do not match the later iOS devives

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen.
