IPad doesn't charge all the time

Ipad doesn't charge all the time

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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

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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Gmail doesn't work well on my ipad, it gets hung all the time. Can you kindly help me?

You probably want to start by updating your OS, if your information is correct and you are still running 5.1.1. You may also want to try the Gmail app. I find it works very well.

Ipod is saying it's charged all the time, and won't connect at all to comp

ok, so i have the white ipod nano, the first ones, and it's saying that it's charged all the time. you know the plug sign in the battery at the top of the screen, it's like that permanently!? and the only time when it's not showing it, is when the USB lead and the block charger that goes into the plug sockets is connected to it, which seems completly ridiculous i know, but yeh. and so when i want to connect it to the computer (obviously having to remove the socket block charger from the lead in order to connect to the USB port), it says it's charging again, and the computer doesn't recognise it whatsoever. anyone know how to sort this out, or any techniques to get the computer to connect to the ipod!?
it's really getting on my nerves. i know my ipod is very old haha, but i hate the new ipods and i've been trying to rekindle it's life on many occasions haha
pleease help, and suggestions would be very much appreciated!!

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or maybe this:
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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I have Elements 11. Sometimes, if I edit a photo in Elements Editor, the date gets changed to the current date. Why does that happen? It doesn't happen all the time, so I can't isolate the cause. Any ideas?

When you said you have no fax machines on your line, that does include computers directly connected to the phone line?
The reason that I ask is a computer with a dial-up modem (a non broadband modem) that can connect to your phone line, can have software that makes the computer act as a fax machine.

Safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time

It is annoying: safari show all tabs doesn't work all the time. The little icon to the right of the "New Tab" area sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. The Shift Command Back-slash, sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. I find no rhyme nor reason for this. I have a MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion, the latest updates. It doesn't matter if I am in Full Screen or not.
I am quite confused regarding this.

Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, empty the cache more often from your keyboard.
Command + Option + E

I am using a T61 ThinkPad with an external hard drive and my itunes library keeps disapearing but remains on the external drive. Any idea how to fix this so my music doesn't disapear all the time? It's a real drag pulling music back into iTunes each week.

In iTunes 11 uncheck the preferences setting in in the iTunes Preferences panel "Advanced > Copy Files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library"

Is it safe to plug in charger all the time ?

my question is that is it safe to plugin charger all the time ? when i am using laptop on charger it is using battrey or the charger power ?
if i use laptop with pluged in is it safe ?

Yes. It's safe to leave it connected.
That battery should not discharge as long as it's connected to a power source.
If you have not done so, calibrate the battery > Apple Portables: Calibrating your computer's battery for best performance

Is it ok to keep the MBP charging all the time while in use?

will it shortened the battery life? or on the other hand, its good?
because the life count will be less
because i dont shut down my MBP most of the time, maybe i shut it down twice / week, so i keep it charging all the time, even if it;s not in use

No, as long as you make sure it goes through at least 1 charge cycle a month. this address may clear it up further.

i hope that answers your question

Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

Is it bad for the battery if i leave my nano 5th on the charger all the time?

No, it's actually what you're supposed to do. To prolong the battery life, try to keep its level high or full as much as you can.
I don't know for sure, but I think the iPod does not draw current from the charging battery but from the charger itself.

Is it okay if i leave the battery charges all the time or should i charge in a special way??

Can i use the charger all the time or should i unplug it when the battery is fully charged??

Dear Freinds,
What do you think better for maintaing the battery performance?
keeping it charging all the time or unpluge the charger when it become fully charged, decharge it and then charge it again?

"Apple recommends charging and discharging its battery at least once per month."

My iPad mini home button doesn't work all the time

When I click the home button on my ipad, it doesn't do anything. If I try a few more times then it will work once or twice. But not all the time.

Calibrate Home button
1. Open a stock application e.g. Calendar or Youtube
2. Hold down the power button until the "slide to power off" control appears
3. as soon as you see it, press the home button and keep it pressed until the red slider disappears and the app is force quit to the home menu
