IPad fully charged symbol at 2% and does not charge.

Hello.
My iPad will not charge past 2%, and it's constantly restarting as if it just doesn't have enough power to stay on. I've checked the actual charger, used different ones, but this does not help. I've restarted, I've even backed up, erased and restored everything to start all over again but the problem still persists.
I think I already know the answer, but is there anything else that anyone can recommend? Any other suggestions?
Please help.
Thanks,
Rich

I thought I should add an update to my problem... After leaving my iPad for about a month or two it just suddenly started working again. In fact I'm writing this ménage on my iPad right now.
Thanks for all those (2) that replied.

  • IPad 2 stuck in recovery mode and does not respond to usual cures.

    I wonder if anyone can suggest what further I can do to get an iPad 2 16MB WiFI model out of recovery mode.  The machine was previously working normally but after a charge would not turn on.  It connected to iTunes on a Windows system when started using the home button press before USB plug method.  iTunes reported the iPad in restore mode even though the diagnostic tools menu in iTunes said that the ipad was not connected.  The Windows system device manager showed that the Apple USB driver was loaded but did not show the iPad as a device. However, running restore from iTunes seemed to work correctly with the progress bar showing on the iPad and the information bar on iTunes showing installation of software and firmware.  iTunes then said that the iPad would restart - but it did not.  It just stayed in restore mode.  A new USB cable made no difference and the same thing happens when I repeat the attempted restore on another Windows system.  I have done the attempted restore multiple times as has been suggested is needed.  I also let the battery run flat before doing restore attempts. Both Windows system were cleaned of everything non essential and the iTunes is up to date.  Doing the restore from DFU mode gives the same result. I have occasionally had the error code oxe8000084 reported by iTunes.  Am I dealing with a hardware fault?

    This is the error report from iTunes which despite saying that device connectivity fails - seems to be able to see what is on the iPad.:

  • My iPad Mini has a black screen and does not respond to anything.

    I got my iPad Mini 6 days ago, and this morning I woke up to it overheating (to a point which any contact with it, or the case) was painful. Along with this overheating, the screen was and still is black. The iPad is not responding when I try to turn it on, off, hard reset it, etc.. It has not been taken off charge in approximately 6 hours, so I highly doubt lack of battery is a reason.
    HElp, please. And thank you in advance.

    Time to make an appointment with Apple.

  • HT4623 I have attempted to update the iOS to 7 on my iPad currently on iOS 5.1.1   When I select general software update, I get the message my iPad software is up to date and does not give me an option to update to 7.  How do I resolve?

    When attempting to update my iPad from iOS 5.1.1 to iOS 7, I continue to get the message my software is up to date instead of getting a download prompt for iOS 7.  Anyone else experience similar issue?  If so, how do I resolve?

    You can't resolve the issue, because the original iPad can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1 and no further.

  • While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge

    genuine Apple lightning charger not working with my iPhone 5S. a notification comes up that's says 'this cable is not a genuine Apple product and may not work reliably' and although the charging symbol comes up, it does not charge - went to Apple in Milton keynes to get a replacement charger this weekend that does not work as well!

    Well, if this problems is so old I think it is strange that Apple hasen't fixed the bug long time ago, and certainly after the release of iOS 8.1.
    Well, thank you very much for your answer, Lawrence Finch. I think the best thing to do is to send the phone to repair, if there is no solution to fix this by my self. I will anyway call the Apple support tomorrow, but I don't think they will illuminate me...

  • My Ipad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help.

    My IPad connects with my hotel wifi, but does not indicate that it is a secure wifi, even though it requires a password to access - no lock symbol appears against the wifi network, hence no password request, hence no internet access - help. My collegue who also has an Ipad can access the same wifi with ease, so it must be something to do with the settings on my machine, although checking the two machines, there appears to be no difference in the settings.

    My experience with hotel wifi is that it's an open, and unsecured, connection, but unless you agree to their terms on a launch page, you can't go any further or connect. Sometimes I need to force safari to come up and even make it go to a page, to trigger the auto load of the 'agree to our terms' page.
    Unless your machine is work provided so maybe could be blocked from unsecured net access?

  • My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again?

    My IPad just shut down and does not want to start again....what can I do?

    Assuming that the battery isn't empty (it can take up to 10 or 15 minutes charging before it responds) then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • IPhone 3GS no longer recognized in iTunes and does not charge via wall

    I upgraded my iMac to iTunes 9.2 when it came out.
    My wife then upgraded her iPhone 3GS to iOS4.
    Since then it is not recognized in iTunes and does not charge via the wall adapter.
    I realize this topic crosses over with several ongoing discussions, but there are no 3rd party peripherals involved here.
    The only major changes to our set up have been the itunes and iOS upgrades.
    The battery is running down, any ideas to fix this, or other similar experiences welcome.

    Went to the Apple store and they replaced the cable.

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
