Ipad Wont charge vía wall charger only by Mac USB?

Okay so i hace tris ipad 3 since August 2012. The problem is since two days ago that I updated to iOS 6.1.2. I have a Mac so I charge it there but now I can't for some reason charge it via the wall charger provided. It starts charging but the after a few minutes of charging the charging icon becomes the charged icon even though its like 17%. If I charge it by my Mac it works just fine. Any help would be appreciated thank you in advanced . I also re restore just in case but with no successs

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.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.
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.

    Contact Apple to take advantage of your standard 1 year warranty.

  • HT4060 For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    For some reason my iPad wont charge at all I'm using the same charger I use on my other iPad n it still won't work

    Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again.
    But  if that charger works just fine with your other iPad and not this one, I'd call up your local apple store and make an appointment so they can look at it. Usually when an iPad wont' charge (when plugged into the wall with its supplied charger) it's
    Bad outlet
    bad power brick
    bad cable
    and if the charger is working with another iPad then that rules that out and the thing left is something wrong with the 30 pin port on the iPad, or perhaps something with the battery or software that monitors the battery. ANd things like that are beyond a user fix.
    On the upside if the device is still under warranty - and barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect - then it should be covered under the warranty.

  • 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.

  • Since update,mini ipad wont charge with cable and charger.Bought new one same thing.

    Since i did the 7.0.4 update, my mini ipad wont charge with the factory supplied charger and cord. I bought a new cord and charger and it still would not charge. I only have it 8 months. Help

    At 8 months you're still within the one-year warranty (even without extended AppleCare warranty).
    I would suggest taking the device (and your chargers) to an Apple Store if there is one nearby, or call AppleCare at 1-800-275-2273 in the U.S. (see http://www.apple.com/contact/ for AppleCare support numbers outside the U.S.) to see about getting the device serviced.

  • TS3274 My iPad wont charge and I bought another charger and it still won't charge

    My iPad wont charge and I bought another charger and it still won't charge

    Could it be the cable?  Did you try another one?

  • 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.

  • Iphone 4s wont charge with wall outlet only using computer usb

    Iphone 4s wont charge using wall charger will only charge when connected to my laptop. tried restoring but has not worked. any suggestions or is my phone non fixable

    Then make a backup, update the iOS, restore as new and test again.  If issue persists with known good chargers/cables/outlets, only on this one device, get the iPhone 4S serviced/replaced by Apple.
    If within warranty/AppleCare+, it should be free unless there is some type of damage to device. ($199 USD + tax or $79 USD + tax if you have AppleCare+ and incidents left)
    If outside or warranty/AppleCare+, then expect to pay $199 USD + tax.
