IPAD MINI SLOW CHARGE

IPAD MINI 16 GB IOS 7
Device will not charge but about 2 percent a hour. Charging indicator does not show it is charging. Worked fine till about 3 weeks ago. Have swapped cables and chargers tried resets but no changes. Clueless has to issue. Never seen this before with any other ipads or Iphones.
Appreciate any suggestions or things I may have missed trying.

How are you trying to charge it? Plugged into the computer or plugged into the wall?

IPad Mini slower charging with iOS7

Charging from non mains supplies like solar panels and car chargers has been reduced below 1 amp.
Why Apple?

Mine acts the same way. I found an old, ratty, beat-up cable (USB on one end, iPad 3 connector on the other) that is an official Apple cable (my little white transformer plug unit is also official Apple 10 watt), and tried it, and it works.
Have you tried scrounging up an official Apple cable?
I also have an iPhone 5 (not 'S' or 'C', just the humble, original 5) and I have not had this same problem. My after-market chargers work fine on it.
It's apparently something about the iPad 3 hardware that causes this, or perhaps something in the iOS7 code behaves differently on the newer devices.
FWIW

IPad mini not charging. Please help. :-/

Hey there,
I just purchased an iPad mini and I plugged it into my windows laptop (Toshiba) for the first time. I was able to sync it up with my iTunes and everything without a problem. But then I noticed that on my actual iPad mini where it shows the energy level on the upper right hand side, it says "Not Charging." And this is while my iPad IS plugged into my laptop. So it should be charged. Is there something in the settings or in iTunes that I have to do in order to get my iPad mini to charge right? Thanks for any help you can give me. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the tip deggie. I tried that. I don't think that's the issue. I have an iPhone 5 that uses the same USB port on my laptop and my iPhone 5 charges from there normally without a problem. I also should mention that I tried charging my iPad mini using the A/C adaptor and it was charging fine. So I'm not sure why my iPad mini is refusing to charge off my laptop. So confusing....

:You need to recalibrate a device every few months. Let it completely run down before charging.

IPad Mini stop Charging

I bought a iPad Mini less than 2 months ago, several occasion my iPad Mini stop charging when it reaches 82%, sometime 91%, got both my adaptor & set replaced, but the problem still persist, the third time I sent it, they can't detect the problem and told me they can't do anything, I'm rather upset, nothing they can do to help

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.

No power on my ipad mini after charger.help me please

last night i charger my ipad mini after charger ipad mini is too hot and won't open. i can't see apple logo and screen is black.

Hi soethatnaing,
If your iPad won't turn on, I recommend trying the steps in the "Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off" section of this article under Power/Battery:

HT4060 My ipad mini wont charge I bought a new charger since the old one didn't charge my ipad and the same problem is happening i charged it over night and when I woke up it said 50% soo can someone help me this is my first apple product a

Well my ipad mini isn't charging.. I with the original charger it didn't show the charging sign when plugged in.. And I bought a new one a 12:00 one from bath bed and beyond. Now it ain't charging again even thought it did a few days ago.. Now I don't know what to do.. I don't wanna keep buying chargers..

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%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.htmlhttp://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.

IPad mini(Retina) charges a little weird?

So I think that my USB cord is fine, but sometimes when I plug it in to my iPad it does nothing. But when I pull everything completely out of the outlet and put it back in it starts to charge until I disconnect the cord from my iPad and reconnect it and then it'll stop charging even when I mess with it. Also, it seems to be a little slow charging from 98% to 100%. Thanks for help!!

Actually you can use the ipad mini as a phone and it actually makes the best and cheapest phone to have, and you aren't held down to a phone plan. And you can have a dedicated phone number to make and receive calls. At times people aren't aware of all it can do. But thats why there's people like me
Here are the steps
1. Get a cellular equiped IPAD. It will be data only ofcourse.
2. Get a google voice account. ( you will be assigned a phone number)
3. Download Talkatone
4. After setting up Talkatone with your google voice number, You'll be able to make and receive calls and text and it will be your primary phone.
Cost every month. Just the cost of your data plan. Cheapest phone ever. 30 bucks a month.
As I said, you can use an iPad with VOIP services - no one ever said you could not use it as a Phone. You can use just about any internet enabled device with VOIP as long as there is software for that device.
You cannot use the phone number assigned to your iPad data plan as a phone number however.

HELP! IPad mini not charging on certain wall plus

I had my iPad mini for almost a year and i would always charge it next to my bed. All of a sudden I wake up and I see it almost to zero percent. I use the 5W and 10W and would say not charging. But it will charge normally with my iPhone in the same wall plug but not my iPad. I know the cord and adapters are working cause I would plug them into different wall adapters. Does anyone have any idea whats happening?

Why is it that my ipad mini doesnt charge up to 100% it stop at 91%?

I Recently bought my ipad mini & I noticed that it always stop charging at 91%, i had to unplug & plug it again to continue charging? Need any help on this please....

im having the same problem with you. I bought my ipad mini last month as soon as i open it my son use it a bit and then when its time to charge it wont charge to 100% stops at between 85-90%, i have to unplug then plug the adapter to charge it to full its very annoying, my friend bought one yesterday and guess what LOL same charging issues, my sister's friend bought 2 yesterday and guess what same charging issue. My friend bought the 12w charger and it works from 1-100% no issues. The question is why should we buy 12w charger when our charger is still under warranty apple please RECALL all these 5w CHARGER, you know that there is something wrong with your 5w charger but why ship it, it will cause you double now to recall everything. As you can see 70% of the time all IPAD MINI charger dont have enough JUICe to charge from 1-100% without recycling the AC power. If you just bought your ipad mini say like 1 day ago and experience this issue go and take back your ipad mini and better yet tell them replace the adaptor with a 12w one.
