IPad charging & Screen

I just purchased a 32GB iPad 3G/Wifi model. Overall I am very happy with the product however, to things baffle me about Apple decisions. Number one why is a product that by itself with tax is around $800 dollars have such a short charging cord? This is just a ridiculous choice on Apples part....I am extremely disappointed with that aspect.
Next I plug my iPad into my desktop PC (non-Mac) to sync it to my master iTunes library and I notice while it is plugged into the PC it does not charge the battery??? Seriously......I go to the Apple store in Waikiki today and plug my iPad into a brand new MacBook Pro and have the same problem. On site tech's state that there currently are many computers not powerful enough to charger the iPad via USB.....Seriously Apple??????
Last but certainly not least, the iPad is essentially a giant iPhone with an awesome screen and features however, why does Apple not provide an Apple logo lint free cloth like they do with every iPhone on the planet???? I know Apple are marketing genius's and all but come on now another way Apple has seriously disappointed me. I hope Steve himself gets wind of a post like this and they fix these issues ASAP!!!

I'm not here to convince you to keep the iPad - honestly, I couldn't care less about that. Not sure what you thought the iPad was before buying it but it is not a netbook or a computer replacement. If you want to call it a really big iPod Touch, so be it. It is what it is, which is a discretionary purchase. If it doesn't meet your needs and wants, don't buy one in the first place and if you discover this after the purchase, you have a return window to return it for payment credit less a restocking fee.
I asked you a question which you failed to answer. Does your iPad charge when connected to the adaptor or wall charger?
If you iPad does not charge when connected direct to a USB 2.0 port on your computer - not connected to a USB hub when the computer is not in sleep or standby mode, there is something wrong with the USB cable or with your iPad. The iPad and all package contents include a one year warranty. You can call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. If you have changed your mind on the iPad from whatever that was, return it for payment credit less a restocking fee.
These are your options.

How long did you let it charge? It may take 30 minutes before the iPad responds when the battery is completely drained. Let it charge for at least 30 minute using the wall charger. Then rest the iPad. Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button continuously until the Apple logo appears. Then release the button and let the device restart. You will not lose data doing this. It's like a computer reboot.
If the iPad restarts let it continue to charge until the battery is 100%.
If the iPad still does not start make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Apple's Limited Warranty http://www.apple.com/legal/warranty/ for iPad excludes coverage for damage resulting from accident, disassembly, unauthorized service and unauthorized modifications.
The warranty will apply to the country of purchase. And if there is a problem needing repair you have to return it to the country of purchase.
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)

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.

Make sure it is charged for about 10min using the adapter, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:

Any Ideas why my two day old ipad touch screen periodically doesn't respond to touch?

Any Ideas why my two day old ipad touch screen periodically doesn't respond to touch?

See what you missed here:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

If it has NEVER been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

My Ipad 2 screen went black, tried all fixes i could find. none worked. any ideas?

My 13 month old Ipad 2 screen went black while sitting on the table. NO drops or damage. Tried both reboots, synced with itunes (it was there, fully charged) and rest to factory settings. still no screen. now the store wants to charge me a minimum of $80 just to look at it. Any ideas?

Found this thread by searching the forum. I hope it helps.

Is my iPad 2 screen dead, or is it worse than that?

My iPad 2 has suddenly stopped responding. I had put it to sleep by closing the cover, and when I opened it, the screen was black. There have been no drops or other obvious mistreatment.
So I held down the power button, ostensibly to shut it down. No response. Held down the button again, ostensibly to start it up: no response. Tried that many times with same result. Charged the iPad overnight. Still no response (and no little chime sound that usually happens when I plug in to AC power).
iTunes can see the iPad, so maybe the screen is dead. But with the absence of all responses of any kind, I'm wondering whether it's worse than that.
I'm running iOS 7.0.4, so I suppose I could update to 7.0.6 and see if that helps, but since updates can be dodgy, I thought I'd save that as a last resort. (And yes, my AppleCare coverage is history.)
Any thoughts?

Ralph Landry1 Maryland Re: Is my iPad 2 screen dead, or is it worse than that? Apr 14, 2014 6:11 PM (in response to gyandev) Placing your iPad in recovery mode erases all content and settings, why you would do that in your case is a total mystery. You lose everything doing that.
There are alot of problems that could have caused you to have to do this. And no you do not loose everything is you have made regular backups.
Here are some reasons
1) itunes makes a new update for your device, there system is so overloaded with people downloading it that some people who downloaded it our missing packets of information this causes an incorect installation and leads to many pieces of hardware malfunctioning
2)usb conection will sometimes turn on and off during some updates, the program itunes dosent seem to check to make sure all the information went through to complete the installation
when either 1 or 2 occurs it is typically in my expereice that a traditional plug it into itunes and do a recovery will not work, you need to bypass several glitchs the IOS update has caused, which may appear to be hard ware glichs IE battery, screen or even after every attempt the update will just stop.
Their are several key components that make up electronic devices
Ram and catch, they require power or electricty to store data, you either need to drain or remove the battery (sometimes residual charge is left in electronic devices... or you may be able to by pass it or in some situations cause the device to ignore the miss writen data.
The battery may say bad on a basic diagnostic test that apple does, but in fact its perfectly fine.
another piece is the storage media, flash and rotaional drives do not need power to store information only to read/write. Individual sectors will go bad over time, and sometimes falsh data that wasn't caught before this point will be written here.
some batters actually have memory,, HDD and storage media and cpu's all have catch which may need to be wiped clean to make a device functioning the method for doing this is differnt for every piece of hardware and sometimes you do not need to take it apart to do it.
There is also ram, which again needs power to store data and will also make bad sectors over time..
if there your device is fully functioning but seems to be a bit slower/ not as good than when you first recieved it, you may need to consider a complete reset. You might notice when your done that the ram size is different that the storage drive has decreased, those are some of the bad sectors that the computer with its long use produced.
In most cases where there is some type of glich that cannot be solved simply by plugin it into Itunes, you might just need to do this. There are several methods posted, and i have tried them all, and most of the time when i needed them they do not work... I had to think, about this..
I needed to do a full recovery, itunes will crash half way through/ will not do the recovery, i need to provide power while placing the device in DFU mode(what i call a hard rest because its like hitting the master reset), because there is a problem/ glich when i try it pluged into a computer I need to use land power, than i need to conect it to itunes..
IT always works, the other methods do not account for the multitude of malfunctions an operating system can cause. This helps to ignore any catch problems, when you conect to itunes it will finish it without a hitch. than you can place all your apps, photos songs ect back in there.
I have had to do this for my own IOS device as well as several others. I typically do this even for random people or i tell them how to do this. Most of them come to me after being poorly disapointed with what the apple tech said.. for me its like if i took my car in for inspection and they said we had to replace the head piston, headmanifold ect, when whats wrong is just a loose wire...
This method should be done prior to doing any expensive fix's as some of the problems you have "fixed" where never really there..
when i was 8 my farther gave me a SCSi hdd that the technitions at his work couldnt fix/ get to work.. He though i would take it apart and see how it worked.. I read the manual, and power scematic, and i came up with my own fix.. plug a jumper into the - and the + jumper to clear the catch while power was going through.. it worked I had a working scsi.. that thing was bigger than an airport extreme curently on the market. I have always had the ability to trouble shoot sense i was alittle boy... I have fixed garmiin GPS as well i wish they still had the physical power switch and not the analog (it was so much easer to reboot them... I was an aircraft maintainer, i have fixed several other computer problems network issuse, hard ware and so on.. Although i have never taken classes in any of it i have learned on my own, and i understand how the device work rather than being told steps to fix it I can find solution where others cannot because i know how they work.. I think that is better than any colledge grad with no reall world experience in true problem solving.

Ipad 2 screen appears to be dead

I accidently inserted my Iphone charger USB into the Ipad 2 and tried to back up in the computer. Now I found my Ipad 2 screen appears to be dead. Only the apple image shown and the Itune cannot identify Ipad.
What should I do?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

When I turned on my ipad the screen is scrolling grey and white veritcal lines. I can't power it off. How can I fix this?

When I turned on my ipad the screen is scrolling grey and white veritcal lines. I turned on the ipad and plugged it up, when I touched the button on the bottom, it flashed as if the screen was coming up, but instead it scrolled grey and white lines, halfway across the screen and has been doing so for about an hour now. How can I fix this? I need it for school. Am I going to have to send it back? And if so, will they send me a replacement while I am waiting for mines to be fixed?

You might connect the iPad to its wall charger for half an hour, to be sure there is enough juice to get started.
That sounds like an internal problem, as you suspect. If you can show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a replacement on the spot.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center. There may be one in your city. I do not know how long it would take, or if a "loaner" would be available. Whether they can fix it on site would depend on what the problem is. <Apple Authorized Repair Centers>
One thing you can try is to reset (reboot) the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. If it works, the iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Why did my iPad Mini screen start glitching out of no where?!

Why did my iPad Mini screen start glitching out of no where?! Hard reset did not fix issue... Which I could barely see the display at it was.. Please help..

Has the unit EVER been jailbroke? Has it EVER been dropped? Did it EVER get excessively wet? Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
