IPad3 and iPad mini not charging since ios 8.0.2

i have an ipad 3 and a gen 1 mini.   Using all original apple parts the mini used to fully charge in a few hours and last almost two days.  I could charge using the original 5w wall charger tha came with it and even use a high quality usb extension between it and the charging cable.   Since ios8 plugging the mini in to charge merely keeps the battery % static and may even drop a few % points if using the mini While plugged in.  whether the usb extension is used does not matter; i am unable to get any battery charge increase. I found the ONLY way ive been able to charge up the iPad mini now is to use the 10w wall charger from my iPad 3.
my ipad3 chraging time has now gone from long to twice as long - it took nine hours to go from 22% to 92% yesterday with no usage.
I have reset and restored both iPads from the cloud to no improvement. 
Has anyone else seen this?

Tried "Home and Sleep Button" and has come back to life

  • Iphone 6 and ipad mini not charging after update to iOS 8.02

  • Ipad mini not charging after 6.1.2 ios update

    I just updated my pad to the latest ios, then what i noticed is that it can't charge anymore. Charging is is still possible through laptop though but it's TOO SLOW... this is surely because of the update... what can we do... hopefully apple fixes this SOON...

    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.

  • HELP! IPad mini not charging on certain wall plus

    I had my iPad mini for almost a year and i would always charge it next to my bed. All of a sudden I wake up and I see it almost to zero percent. I use the 5W and 10W and would say not charging. But it will charge normally with my iPhone in the same wall plug but not my iPad. I know the cord and adapters are working cause I would plug them into different wall adapters. Does anyone have any idea whats happening?

  • IPad mini not charging. Please help. :-/

    Hey there,
    I just purchased an iPad mini and I plugged it into my windows laptop (Toshiba) for the first time. I was able to sync it up with my iTunes and everything without a problem. But then I noticed that on my actual iPad mini where it shows the energy level on the upper right hand side, it says "Not Charging." And this is while my iPad IS plugged into my laptop. So it should be charged. Is there something in the settings or in iTunes that I have to do in order to get my iPad mini to charge right? Thanks for any help you can give me. I appreciate it.
    ---JohnnyCloud81

    Thanks for the tip deggie. I tried that. I don't think that's the issue. I have an iPhone 5 that uses the same USB port on my laptop and my iPhone 5 charges from there normally without a problem. I also should mention that I tried charging my iPad mini using the A/C adaptor and it was charging fine. So I'm not sure why my iPad mini is refusing to charge off my laptop. So confusing....

  • HT4060 iPad 2 not charging after iOS 7 update

    Hello all,
    After updating to the new iOS my ipad is not charging at all... I did atatch it to a phillips dock and noticed that it did not charge for some reason, then I tried it's own cable and no luck.
    Now I tried to charge it though my MacBook usb cable and all I am getting is the red line on the battery sign but does not seem as it is charging....
    Any tips on how to fix this?? I recently read that with the new iOS Apple is blocking fake cables and I am worried that the dock had something to do with it?
    I am absolutelly sure it's cos of the new iOS unfortunately I dont have enough batterry to install an upgrade and hope that would fix it, I am always on 1-2%.
    Thanks for all your thoughts and comments you might have!

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then see if the battery will charge.
    For charging to a wall outlet, only use the power adapter and cable that can with your iPad.

  • IPad will not charge after IOS 7 update unless the brightness is dimmed,..Why?

    I recently updated my 4th gen IPad 64Gb to ios7. Previous to the update I loved my iPad and it worked flawlessly. Since updating the iPad now will not charge unless I dim the brightness of the screen, and slowly when it does. Why? Is there a way to remedy this?

    I do not know if it's iOS7 related or not. My 2 is still working. However, my first 2 was returned to best buy after the charging port on it died. So that can happen. ANd it happens with little to no warning. CHarges monday, doesn't on tuesday.
    As far as I know the issues with 'unsigned' lightning devices is just the cable, not the power brick, but there's no official word (nor do I expect one)
    Lightning cables have a little chip in them and if that chip isn't signed by Apple then your device kicks up an error but should still work.
    However since this is an iPad 2, that's not the case since 2's use 30 pin chargers, not lightning.
    Usually when a 2 doesn't charge, common troubleshooting is to swap out the charger, cable and outlet, to confirm or rule those out. Also to do the reset. (the soft reset that's holding down the sleep and home keys until it reboots). Also to look in and blow out the port in case there's some lint or such in there.
    Usually those things fixes it. If not, then it could be the port.

  • Ipad 2 not charging after ios 7 update

    have tried everything, multiple attemps at restore, plugging into wall, plugging into computer, restart with plugged in, different cables(all apple), dimmed backlight, turned off find my ipad....nothing works!
    Just got off a long conversation with apple, where they had no solution but to tell me that hardware fails. Great! I had a perfectly good ipad one week ago. I update to ios 7 and it is rendered useless. What a joke!
    Any solutions would be appreciated.

  • Bluetooth and JBL Flip not pairing since IOS 8.1 update-Please Help

    After last IOS update (8.1) for iPhone 5 my JBL flip suddenly stopped pairing with the Bluetooth in my phone. I tried the forget this device to reinstall connection which usually works, but this did not work and I have attempted several times over the past week to no avail. It recognizes device but then will not pair with it, then it disappears from the Bluetooth device menu on my phone. Anyone know of a patch of fix? JBL tech's report it's an APPLE issue. All I know is I'm going nuts not having any music in my office. PLEASE HELP.

    For others who have this same problem, before using deggie's solution, which is more drastic since it will force you to lose all pairings and wi-fi passwords, first try this: On the iPhone go to Settings>Bluetooth, then forget your JBL pairing. Then with the JBL Flip, turn it on by hitting the power button once, then put it into pairing mode by holding the power button down until it flashes red and blue alternately. You should see the pairing established on you iPhone. If the iPhone asks for a pairing code (it may not), it is 0000.

  • Notification Center for iPhone 5 and iPad Mini Disagree

    I have an iPhone 5 and iPad Mini - both updated to iOS 7. They both have the same settings for what is supposed to show and not show in Notification Center. However they don't show the same notifications on the second "All" page. And neither show anything on the second "All" page if I open Notification Center from the Lock Screen.
    Another "funny" thing - the description of the day's weather (since they are both residing in the same city) differ in the descriptions. Now I realize that iOS 7 was just released and that Apple's servers are probably going nuts - but you would think that they would both display the same information (again with the same app settings).
    BTW - Has anyone found a good website tutorial about Notification Center and what all the controls in Settings actually do? Thanks.

  • HT201335 Since I updated iOS on my iphon4s and iPad mini i cant get mirroring to work via vga cable

    Since I updated iOS on my iphon4s and iPad mini i cant get mirroring via my vga-cabel to my smartboard projector to word anymore. I used to be able to swipe right twice to chose mirroring via my Apple cable. Why doesn't it work anymore?
    All the threads I can find on the subject talks about using appletv but I need to connect via cable! It used to work (before ios7).
    Sincerely Bent F

    The article from which the issue was posted clearly explains how to access AirPlay in iOS7.
    Granted, what is being attempted has nothing to do with AirPlay or Mirroring.
    The feature that you're looking for is in Control Center... assuming the cable actually works.  If it does not work, the feature will not be accessible.
