Is it bad for ur iPad battery to charge it up before it gets really low?
Thanks

nope. My rule of thumb? Charge it when I don't think I have enough battery power to get through the day.

I have just got my iPad2 and very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge. Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all or would this be bad for my iPad?

I have just got my iPad2 and am very pleased with it. I have a question regarding the monthly (recommended) battery full charge. Should I let the battery completely die down to nothing at all before I plug in to recharge or would this complete drain be bad for my iPad?

It's not bad for it - on this page www.apple.com/batteries/ipad.html it says :
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).

HT4060 Is it possible to over charge an iPad/iPhone ie charge it regularly before battery runs down as I have heard that charging too frequently damages the battery life? Thanks

No. That is not a problem for the battery.

I have purchased several new digitizers for my ipad 2. I test if before I actually seal it. After I seal it , maybe about an hour or two later it has non reponsive areas

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

What is the typical amount of time for an iPad to fully charge?

I have a brand new iPad, third generation, WiFi/LTE, 64 GB. It seems to take up to 6-7 hours to fully recharge. I am concerend, only because I had a first generation iPad, and it would charge in 2 1/2 hours. Is this normal?
Thanks

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%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
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.

IPad battery indicating charge but not charging

Hi guys, my iPad battery is not charging but it is indicating that it is. Here is what I have tried:
Rebooting the iPad and also a hard reset.
Cleaning the connection point terminal with isopropyl alcohol.
Charging with several different cables.
Charging with several different outlets.
Could this be a hardware issue? The iPad has been extremely well looked after and has never taken any drops or hard knocks. Should I let the battery die to 0% and charge from there? I'm weary to try this in case I need it powered for the repair job.
Thanks

Hi,
I am using the correct adapter that came with the iPad.
Thanks for your input.

Hey Dpcupcake,

Looking for working iPad 3 Mini Charging Cable

Hello Team,
I Bought a Native Union XL Cable for my iPad 3 Mini in the hope it would have worked but to no avail that’s not the cables fault but maybe Apple, Does anyone know of a charging cable longer than 2 Meters that does work or is Apple going to make a longer cable? Or authorize a company to make a cable, like Belkin, Native Union, Mophie and many other companies.
Any replies would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
Darren Smith

Hello Tim
I plug it into a socket on the bulkhead but there is only 2 sockets in the cabin but its not the socket that the problem its the cable as if i use the cable that it came with with a multi use plug it works but when you sleep in the top rack its an effort to get out to charge it hence why i bought a 3 meter cable

Can't get battery to charge - please help before I pull my hair out

My daughter and I both have the Curve 8530, first, her battery didn't seem to hold a charge very long, then her charging port stopped working. So we started swapping the batteries. When hers was low, I would give her mine with more charge and charge up the other one, using it until the first one needed a charge. That started getting more and more frequent, now, all of the sudden I can't get either one to charge in my phone. Figured out that hers doesn't charge because it is broken. We can see a piece of metal that should be on the little tab in the port, laying at the bottom of the port. Mine is a little loose after 2 years, so I sometimes have to wiggle the connection or make sure I set it down and don't move it when it is charging. However, this is making me crazy. It was plugged into my computer usb to charge all night and was completely dead this morning. Which, is not a big suprise as the usb port on my computer doesn't always like to charge the BB. Gives me an error saying not enough power. So I plugged in the wall charger and let it sit. It gets far enough that it will start the OS, but then sat there for hours and never changed from red and didn't get even 1 bar of charge. Usually it only take a short time. I read another post about an internal circular battery under the sticker with all the identification numbers on it, but I don't see any battery resembling that and am not comfortable taking my BB apart like that. So any suggestions as to what the problem might be? Or how to fix it? My daughter's, though she doesn't think so, is not near as important as having at least one battery for mine due to work, etc. Thanks for reading and any help.

I would suggest trashing the .itl and .xml files to make sure you start clean (quit iTunes before you trash the files, of course). Then use the Add Folder To Library command and select your iTunes Music folder. That should get everything back into iTunes, though you won't get any playlists back unless you made a backup of them.

I have never updated macbook 10.5.8, grey screen at start up, battery not charging. Is it worth getting it serviced?

So, My lovely Macbook 10.5.8 is struggling a little. I cannot use any softwares because I have never updated the system - how many system updates will I need to install and purchase will I need to install until I can use all the modern softwares, and how do I do it?
Also, the computer turns off immediately if the charger is removed? Will I need a new battery?
Finally, manytimes the system struggling to start up and gets stuck on a pale grey/ white/ blue screen? Any ideas?
I am thinking to take it to be serviced at the genius bar but there are a few issues here that could make the whole process very expensive and as the laptop is quite old now I am not sure it is worth it. I'm not even sure how much it costs for a genius bar appointment.
I really don't know what to do, please help, any suggestions would be much appreciated!
THANK YOU

You could call ahead and ask about setting an appointment at an Apple Store
to talk to a Genius about your old MacBook, and see about a diagnosis of its
issues; that much should be free, from what has been said about it in the US.
Any further actions, after a diagnostic, would likely generate an expense, if
there are parts and labor involved to restore functions. Could be just a new
battery, or charger, etc may be needed if those don't check out well. Be sure
if you do visit with a Genius bar, you take along the MacBook's power adapter.
Depending on what the Model identifier number (macbook2.1, 3.1, etc) is you
may be able to upgrade an OS X version past Snow Leopard 10.6 (retail DVD
is the path to upgrade) however, several early MacBook models like 10.6.8.
So the price of admission to Snow Leopard, is about $20 for the retail DVD; &
then the last step update is a free download to get 10.6 to 10.6.8.
There is an option in the Snow Leopard installer, to put Rosetta in there, so
if you have a pile of older applications that have PPC code, these would
benefit from the Rosetta and allow you to continue to use them in 10.6.8.
Snow Leopard is the last OSX that could allow you to use older PPC apps.
Anyway, hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

My iPad shut off for some reason. The battery was charged. I couldn't get it to turn back on until I pressed the on button and home at the same time.Why did that happen?

I had trouble upgrading my iPad2 toiOS 5.1.I have had it for about 1 year. I had never upgraded it. I tried a few times but I kept getting a message that I would loose everything on my iPad if I did. I bit the bullet andfigured that I would restore it from the back up on my laptop. Some of the backup files were corrupted. I was unable to retore my exchange email or my notes from the noted app.
Today, my iPad shut off for no reason and I couldn't get it to turn on again, even though the battery was 70% charged. I had to press the on button and home button to get it to come back on.

I'm not sure what problem you are experiancing but it would be well worth contacting apple.
If you have had it for less than one year it should be covered under warrenty

Are car chargers bad for the iPod battery?

There are a lot of companies that sell iPod chargers that plug into your car's cig lighter to charge the battery. Do car charges mess up the batteries?

I don't know why they would. Many people use them on a daily basis and i haven't heard any complaints.

Is it a third party charger or the one that came with the purchase? Does your iPad give you any message on the screen? if not, you can get on with a live support agent via live chat: https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

IPad battery not charging

My ipad is about 9 months old, used daily, and this evening developed a 'not charging' message in the top corner (next to the battery icon) with an intermittent message flashing on the screen saying that 'charging is not supported with this accessory'. I do regular battery calibration (every 6 weeks or so) and have had no recharging problems.
Is this a visit to an Apple store or something fixed at home?

I recently started experiencing the exact same issue. For the past year I have been using my ipad the most in my office. I have it set up on my desk with the usb cable and an older wall outlet cube from one of my first iphones and it would be left charging all day. Everything was working perfectly until a few weeks ago. When I would plug the usb in, it would initially give the the charging indicator, then it would display the small power plug graphic as if it was fully charged, then it would switch rapidly back and forth between 'fully charged' and 'charging', and would finally end up saying 'not charging'. Shortly after that, the message would appear that 'charging is not supported with this accessory' even though these are all Apple parts. I tried several different cables and had the same results. Finally, I decided to switch out the charging outlet cube itself, and that did the trick. Now it charges exactly like it is supposed to with no issues. I hope this works for you because it sounds like we are dealing with the exact same thing. I was also concerned that I would have to take it in for repair or replacement, but fortunately, one of the simplest solutions worked. Good Luck!
