IPad will not charge until completely dead

My IPad 4 will not start charging until its completly dead! Help cause I don't know what to do.

Inspect the charging port area for dirt/debris/fluff build-up that may be preventing a good connection and use a wooden toothpick, soft clean toothbrush, or a can of compressed air to clean it. Also look for bent or broken pins. Try another cable and/or charger block (be sure to always use a genuine Apple certified brand) in a known good outlet. If you're using a USB port, try another port. If you're using a hub, try a direct connection. If you're using a USB port in the front of a desktop computer, try one in the back. If all these fail, make an appointment at your nearest Genius Bar to have the device evaluated.

  • Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead.  Any ideas

    Since my I upgraded to ios7 my iPhone 4 will not charge, battery completely dead.  Any ideas

    I updated my iphone 4 to ios7 three days ago. It now will only charge if connected to a computer USB port, either Mac or windows. It no longer charges on any wall mounted USB cable, like it did before the upgrade. The wall mounted cables still work just fine with an iPhone 4S and a new iPad retina display but not at all with the iPhone 4. Took it to a genius at apple store and they checked the battery. It still charges to 80% of original. They were clueless and suggested I replace the unit.  It seemed to be related to ios7

    It really would have been helpful if you had said that to begin with. Take the phone to an Apple Store and have them look at it.

  • 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

  • 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.
    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 and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

    my Ipad will not charge and Ihave booted it and still no chargeing tryed computer and wall plug

    The best way to charge an iPad is to use the charger that came with it connected to a known good wall outlet. The following might be the problem.
    No power in the outlet.
    Bad charger unit. Try a different charger.
    Bad cable. Try a know good cable.
    Dirt in the connector on the iPad. Check and clean.
    A fault in the charging software. Reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    A hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

    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.

  • 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
