Ipad mini wont charge when on

I won this iPad mini at school and it was brand new however the charger that came with it aloud me to charge while using it at the same time although after a while the charger wasn't abled to charge while using it so I bought another one which worked fine for a few weeks then after that broken no other charger that I bought would allow me to charge it while using it only asleep and I've bought at least 8 cords and 3 different wall ports but if I plug the charger in while its asleep it turns it on so I know the charger is working so it could be my ipad so what do I do? I only plug it into the wall never computer but I am able to plug it to my computer and put new music on it so that works too only I cant charge it  while using it because the battery drains

Are you charging it from a wall charger or from USB attached to a computer? Apple cable and/or charger? There have been some reports of iOS7 causing issues with some, uh, "questionably spec'd" 3rd party charging accessories.

  • My iPad 2 wont charge when its connected to my computer

    Hi,
    My iPad 2 wont charge when its plugged i to my comp(Windows 7 Laptop) it only charges with the wall socket.
    Why?
    Thanks!

    The current provided by most USB ports on computers is not sufficient to charge the iPad. It may charge but the not charging icon will show, and the charge rate will be quite slow.

  • 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.

  • My iPad mini wont charge after I reset it

    IIPad mini will not ccharge after I reset all the setting and restarted the ipad.  It once said not charging and then charged and when I disconnected and connected it still doesn't charge.    If I calibrate the battery I'm afraid I cant get to charge again.  What should I do

    Here are the steps to activate an iPhone:
    If your carrier provided a SIM card, make sure it's in your iPhone.
    Restart the iPhone.
    Try connecting to a known-good Wi-Fi network if you can't activate using a cellular data connection.
    Restore the iPhone.
    Check the system status for iOS Device Activation. If the iOS Device Activation status isn't green, try activating your iPhone later.
    If you receive an alert message when you try to activate your iPhone, place the iPhone in recovery mode and perform a restore. If you still can't complete the setup assistant due to an activation error, contact Apple for assistance.
    If you're asked to enter a password to proceed with activating the iPhone, Activation Lock might be enabled as part of Find my iPhone.
    For more details, please read the guide: Get help activating your iPhone - Apple Support

  • 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.

    Hello lorvic9195,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. 
    You can use the following article to troubleshoot your issue with your iPad not booting. I would suggest looking first at the "Power/Battery" section. The "Battery or charging issues" first and then the "Other issues".

  • TS3274 My iPad wont charge when I connect it to power

    My iPad wont charge when I connect it to power. I have restarted it but the problem seems to be that it doesn't recongise the actual charger. Any ideas?

    First ensure you are using a 10 watt/2 amp charger if you are not using the one included with the iPad. Then I would try a new sync cable. You can then test the charger by connecting another USB based device such as an iPod or iPhone to it to see if it charges. If the iPad is completely dead it may require some charge time before it will become responsive. If the sync cable and charger work fine with other devices you iPad is probably defective and requires repair.

  • My ipad wont charged when connected to laptop. HELP?!!!

    my ipad wont charged when connected to my laptop. Anyone know how to fix that. thanks, much appreciated
    Also, just noticed this now....i have it connected and its got no battery. It will shut off like it died (while connected to the laptop) and then after a few minuted it will turn on. with the battery icon saying "not charging"

    Chances are your USB port is charging but only when the screen is off. This is e behaviour i get from our pcs.
    Make a note of the battery level, plug it in and make sure the screen is off, after and hour check the battery level.
    It should have charged a bit but very, VERY slowly.
    Your computer port normally only delivers 500mha of power. Some modern macs deliver 1100mha. Anything less than 1000mha wont charge with the screen in.
    The iPhone charge delivers 1000mha and the iPad charger delivers 2100mha.
    So it not charging via the computer is normal.

  • My Ipad 4 wont charge on its original 12W wall charger

    My Ipad 4 wont charge on its original 12W wall charger but when i charge it to an ASUS 7watts charger it runs and goes 100%. Thus Its cable is good.
    Please advise what would be the next move to address this issue. I dont want to use other brand of charger just to use and appreciate the new 12W adapter.
    Current OS: IOS 8.1.2

    So when you use the Apple charger it doesn't work but when you use the Asus one it does?
    Suggests to me that the charger is bad.
    If your charger is less than a year old, make an appointment at your local apple store and take it in. It should be covered by the warranty against manufacturer's defects. If it's out of warranty, you can buy replacement chargers at any major retailer. (I got one for my iPad at Walmart)
    Just make sure to get an Apple one, not a knock off.
