IPad will not charge or turn on

Ok, here is the deal.
iPad 2.
One morning it died. It was showing a thin red line on the battery. Pluging it in does not charge it, and yes all factory cords, Ive changed cords and chargers so it is not an issue with the leads or charger.
At one point it would boot to the home screen for a second, then turn off and reboot - over and over.
Now all I get is the battery symbol with little red line when plugged it.
I've tried booting into DFU and restoring. It updates the software and gets to the "iPAd is starting up, don't disconnect", then nothing.
I've left it plugged in overnight an it makes no difference.
If i pull the cord out, the connect charger lightening bolt appears, so the plug is working in that regard.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Not charging (your battery is flat)
1. Reset iPad; hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down until you see the Apple Logo
2. Try another wall socket
3. Try another cable (make sure it's an original Apple cable)
4. Try another charger (make sure it's an original Apple charger)
5. Clean Lightning port with compress air or new paint brush

Ipad will not charge or turn on after downloading IOS 7

Ipad will not charge or turn on and I have tried re-booting etc but nothing happening. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Charge the device via a wall outlet for At least 10-20 minutes, then try this while it's still plugged in
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings (or for network connection issues 'reset network settings').
(no media or data will be deleted from the device, this will only take a minute).
If that doesn't work then backup and then restore the device as new first (to isolate cause of the issue). Then from backup if necessary.
Make sure iTunes is updated to the latest version

Ipad will not charge or turn on the screen shows the red battery only

The ipad in question belonged to a friend of mine and it has never been dropped or damaged as long as he owned it. He did get it used from gamestop but there was not any visable damage. The ipad showed the red battery indicating it needed to be charged so I pluged it in for him a few hours later nothing I put it back on the charger over night the next day nothing. So thinking it was maybe the charger I took it home and charged it on mine which is for the ipad (iPad 3) and let it charge over night and it still did not have a charge. I tried holding down the home button and then the home button and the power button and nothing would happen. He has bought a new one but I am still wondering what went wrong with it, can any one tell me what happened or does anyone have an idea about it? Thanks a bunch and have a good day.

If you've tried different chargers & different cables, next inspect the 30-pin connector on the bottom of the iPad. Dust likes to live in there and impede contact with the charge cable. Get a clean toothbrush (or similar) and brush out the port. Even if you don't see any visible dust/lint, do it anyways. Afterwards, blow it out as well. The connectors in the 30-pin connector are very small and even the tiniest bit of dust can cause improper contact. While you're at it, check/clean the 30-pin cable as well.

Ipad mini will not charge or turn on

ipad mini will not charge or turn on, I have tried rebooting and also charging from wall. Apple icon doesn't appear even if I leave plugged in for an hour

Well my problem is now solved, both devices are bricked, Apple Store replaced both devices today, After talking with my daughter had the iPad mini was charging and it updated iOS8.1.3 and then bricked, tried all the things you suggested with both devices. Yes, I agree about not letting my devices die, this was the first time my phone had died in 5 months but I firmly believe iOS 8.1.3 was the cause of both devices demise. Apple checked both devices and promptly replaced both in about 30 minutes. I hope this is not the way Apple is planning on continuing with software updates. I have 10 apple devices and have been a strong supporter of their company, but these kind of half done updates are the reason I removed all Microsoft products from our household 7 years ago!

TS3274 ipad will not charge when USB cord connected to PC or socket.

When i plug the USB cord to either electrical socket or computer. ipad will not charge. Says NOT CHARGING. Please HELP.

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W 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 (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.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 will not charge up. it just shows the red battery signal and then switches off

my ipad will not charge up. it just shows the red battery signal and then switches off. The same charger succesfully charges other idas so i know it is no the charger that is faulty.Any suggestions

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.

IPad dead
My iPad will not charge and will not switch on, blank screen.....

Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets the iPad to turn on and/or to charge ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo will hopefully appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

After trying to down ios 7, iPad will not charge, will not open and will not connect to itunes. The only display I will get is the apple logo, or low battery warning.

HELP!! Ipod touch will not charge or turn on

My ipod touch will not charge or turn on. I think the battery went dead, but now it won't even turn on or charge. My computer does not even recognize that it is plugged in. I have tried to charge it on other devices and get the same result. Can anyone help?

TRY GEORGE GUERRERO'S ANSWER FIRST.
Plug it into the computer for about 15 minutes.
If it starts to turn on after about 15 minutes then unplug it.
As it is turning on hold down BOTH THE POWER AND THE HOME BUTTON on the itouch for 15 seconds, or until it flashes white or just turns back off.
Then RELESE THE POWER BUTTON BUT STILL HOLD DOWN THE HOME BUTTON.
Then plug it back in.
The computer should reconise your ipod.

My ipod classic will not charge or turn on

MY IPOD CLASSIC WILL NOT CHARGE OR TURN ON

Important: iPod touch cannot be charged with a FireWire power adapter or FireWire-based car charger.
Verify that the power source being used is working properly.
If connecting to a computer's USB port, verify it is a high-powered USB 2.0 port. Note: The USB ports on most keyboards don't provide enough power, so if you're connecting iPod touch to a keyboard, make sure it has a high-powered USB 2.0 port.
Verify the computer is turned on and not in sleep or standby mode. If iPod touch is connected to a computer that's not turned on or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPod touch battery may drain.
Try another USB port.
Try charging from a USB charger if available.
If that does not help, try another USB cable if available.

IPhone 4s and now iPhone 4 will not charge to turn on

My iphone 4s stopped taking a charge, I've tried working chargers which I tested on other iphones to make sure they are good working units and they worked fine on other phones but would not charge my own. I tried holding the home and power button down while it was plugged in and even gently cleaned out the lint and dust particles from the connectors. The phone will not turn on and it never says it's charging? Because of this I resorted to using my old iPhone 4 and now, just this past weekend, it has done the same exact thing and will not charge nor turn on. Has anyone had a similar issue or know a fix or do my batteries need replaced?

Yes, I have tried multiple chargers! Before the 4s stopped taking a charge it was kind of gradual where it showed it was charging on the screen with the battery and lightning bolt icon but it would sit like that for hours and never turn on even when I held the power and home button at the same time to hard boot it. Eventually the charging icon stopped coming on and hasn't since and neither phone will turn on or even show any signs of charging.

Some basics please, what vintage is your MBP, have you plugged anything else into the wall socket to verify that it is live? which light doesn't turn on, the charger or the MBP?
Hold the power button down for 15 seconds, wait for 2 then press it normally and see te MBP it turns on

My ipad will not charge on my computer?

my ipad will not charge on my computer?

Any mac made within the last 5 years should allow the ipad to have the lightening icon on the display (meaning charging at 10w) If it says "Not Charging" is most likely is, but at 5w f power. Would take a long time to charge it up.
It seems older PC laptops only charge at 5w, newer ones i think allow for 10w charging
