IPad2 won't charge with 10w wall charger, but will via USB port

Hi all,
My iPad2 recently stopped charging at all with the 10W wall charger -- the iPad does not even recognize that the charger is attached (no change in the battery icon). Meanwhile, charging from a USB port works as otherwise expected. Here is what I have done so far to debug the problem, using tips found on this forum:
I replaced the wall charger, including the USB cable, with a new 10W charger from Apple -- no change;
I verified that both the new and old wall charger will charge a borrowed iPad3.
I verified that the same USB cable used with the wall charger will charge my iPad fine when connected to my Mac Mini or a borrowed MBA;
When connected to a powered USB port on a Lenovo ThinkPad, I get the expected "Not Charging" message, but eventually (12 hours) the iPad will charge;
I have performed a hard reboot of the iPad several times, with no change in behavior.
What I have not done yet:
6. Restore to factory settings -- trying to avoid this painful step if possible:
7. Visited the Apple Store -- not logistically convenient at this time.
Any tips from the community what else I might try? I find it curious that the iPad won't recognize a closed charging circuit from the wall charger, but will from a laptop USB port.
Thanks in advance for your time and advice.

Take it into the apple store.
I've had a 30 pin port go bad on my iPad. Said it was 'not charging' even though it was trickle charging, didn't wnat to sync, ,etc.
You very possibly have something internal wrong with your port and it'd be in your best interest to take it in. Especially if it's still under warranty because, barring any obvious signs of abuse or neglect, the 30 pin would fall under manufacturer's defects.

Hi there Zeeshan Saeed Al Barvi,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

HT1476 Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a wall charger by Nook and it didn't work.

Will the ipod touch charge with a wall charger? I tried to use a NOOK wall charger, but the ipod touch wouldn't charge.

Likely the Nook charger does not provide enough power to charge the iPod with the screen on. You can try leaving the charger connected overnight (iPod sleeping) and see if it is charged in the morning.

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable usin ghte same wall plug in the same wall socket?

My ipod will not charge from a wall socket but will charge using the same cable if the usb end is plugged into a computer or directly into an airport power source. My iphone and ipad charge fine on the same cable using the same wall plug in the same wall socket. This makes no sense but I see that it has been posted as a problem elsewhere. This must be due to some kind of degredation of the Ipod. . It is not fixed by IOS resets as others have noted.
Has anyone asked Apple directly about this?

My ipad won't charge with the wall charger

I have been able to charge my ipad and ipod using the wall charger. Now when I plug my ipad in, it won't charge. It also doesn't charge when plugged into the computer.

iPad Charging
"The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 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.
When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
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."

IPOD classic won't charge with 10W IPAD charger

I have an IPOD Classic, 120 GB, an IPOD touch and an IPAD. The 120GB IPOD classic will not charge with the new 10W IPAD charger. Charges fine with the original IPOD classic charger. The 10W IPAD charger charges the IPOD touch and IPAD just fine. Any one have any ideas what might be going on?

It should work. See here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3044169?start=0&tstart=0

Why does my iPhone not charge with the wall charger?

i have recently purchased an iphone 4 (within the last month). it has charged via the wall charger at first but now, the wall charger does not work. it does charge by connecting the USB cable to my computer. is there any way i can get my wall charger working? or will i have to get a new one? thanks.

Try a different wall socket - if you haven't already and/or try this.... reset the iPad
Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. then try again.
You could also try updating your software as I have no idea which version you are running on your iPad.

My iPhone 4 will charge on a wall socket but WILL NOT charge on computer or even connect to the computer and show up???

My iPhone 4 will not connect to my MacBookPro. It will not charge on my MacBookPro, but it will charge on a wall socket and it will play music in a 3rd party speaker system??
This is extremely frustrating not only can I not back up my iPhone but I also can not update its OS etc.

Have you tried other USB Sockets on the MBP?
Have you tried other devices in these USB sockets?, do these work?
Sounds like a fault on the Macbook

TS2771 Charger only works in wall socket but not in usb port???

When I plug my Ipod touch (4th generation) into my charger and put it in the wall socket it works but when I put it in a USB port it doesnt work (yes the USB 2.0 port) i've tried both my laptop and my PC and it's not charging when only using USB! what do i do??
And yes the charger USB did work on my PC and laptop until today ._.

I do not really know, you have a strange problem.
You can try a new cable. You can also make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the laptop. The apointment is free

IPod Charges on a Docking Station but not via USB

Bit of an odd one this, I have been living with it for a good many years, however now as I have discovrered the usefullness of this forum I will ask for some advice on the cause of this.
Simply my iPod will not charge when connected to usb, eg charger, from the computer. When connected to a docking station that runs off mains power it will charge. It holds the charge well.
The problm first started when I plugged it into a faulty USB port. The keyway was broken so I managed to insert the connector the wrong way round. This messed up the iPod and I wasn't able to get it working again untill I got it home and connected it up to my computer. From this point onwards it has not charged via usb.
Naturaly I would have thought the Battery, or possibly some charging unit to be at fault in this, however as it depends on how I go about charging it, I am unsure as to what it would be.
Any thoughts?

The 5th generation iPod had two sets of power input pins on the dock connector. One set is for USB power (+5V) while the other set is for Firewire connections (+12V and up), a hold over from when all iPods could charge and sync via a Firewire connection. The 5th generation could only sync via USB but Apple left the charging ability from Firewire connections to allow the iPod to be backwards compatible with all the various chargers and docks already "in the field". Back then, almost all docks used the Firewire pins for inputting charging voltage (usually +12V) so they would be backward compatible with all previous iPods.
Sooooo, what has probably happened is when you plugged in the USB cord backward with your iPod, you damaged the input circuitry of the iPod for the USB voltage pins (perhaps a diode or resistor burned up) and now you can no longer have input on those pins. However your Firewire connection is still fine. So when you plug into your old dock which still supports Firewire charging you can charge your iPod. Note that almost all newer docks no longer have the Firewire pin connections and will all charge via USB only. So your iPod will not charge on new docks.
I hope that answers your question,
Patrick

HT4623 I cannot get my iphone 5 to charge with my wall charger.

I have tried 4 different wall chargers and connectors. They work great for about a week and then the phone will no longer charge. I need to know how to get this phone to charge. I paid too much money to have to deal with this.

Bring the phone, and the charger to Apple for evaluation.

Sound won't start with Windows 8.0, but will after hibernate (It toggles)

TWIST U230 running Windows 8.0
Recently I had a crash that required Windows 8.0 to "fix some things", which I assume it did. However, one of the side effects is that the sound drivers are no longer enabled, or working at least, after a reboot. If i hibernate, then I have sound. But, when I hibernate again, it also turns off my sound. I also just updated the sound drivers.
SUSPECTED
Something is toggling the drivers to wok or not work after being enabled from reboot or hibernate.
WORKAROUND REQUESTED
I'd like to at least craft a script to reenable the drivers without resorting to Windows loading them at start. Of couse, if I figured that out, I could also fix the root cause.

Try resetting the SMC
Shut down the computer.
Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
Remove the battery.
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
Release the power button.
Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.

My ipad charges using the usb plug but not using the wall charger. The wall charger works with my wife's ipad2

My ipad2 only charges with the usb plug. It does not charge with the wall charger, My wife's ipad2 does charge with the same wall charger.

Stephen-
Your iPad may have a defective cable. Try your Wife's and see it it makes a difference.
I don't know if iPod and iPhone cables are compatible with iPad, but could you have switched by accident?

My iPod won't charge on a wall charger, only on the computer. I used the same cord for both though. I used to be able to charge it with a wall charger, but now suddenly I can't. I've even used other wall pieces. Nothing seems to work.

My iPod will no longer charge with a wall charger, only the computer. I know it's not becuase of the wall piece or my cord, since I also use the same cord for computer charging, and the wall piece seems to work with others devices. It worked a couple of weeks ago, then suddenly quit. I think it may be something to do with the inside of my iPod where the charger goes. I find it really inconvient to always have to use the computer to charge my iPod. I believe I have a three year warrenty on my iPod, but I wouldn't think it would cover this problem. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the wall charger

If you have a three-year warrany it is not from Apple. The standare Apple warrantyis 1 year and y can purchas an extended warranty that give y a total of two years. You can check your Apple warranty coverage hee:

Is it okay to charge my iPod Touch with my wall charger on a regular basis?

I like to use my iPod Touch at night before I go to sleep but since my computer is not in my room my iPod Touch is usually charging with the wall charger I bought (from Apple) for hours and usually overnight and its becoming that that is the only way I'm charging my iPod because at night that's the only time I'm using it.
So my question is, is it okay to charge my iPod like that? I've been noticing that when I turn my iPod on and use it, it'll say there is half the battery left but usually when I turn it on the next day it says there is only 10% remaining and it's like that everyday.

Yes, it's okay.
You should let it run down completely every feew months to somewhat "calibrate" the battery meter though.
