It says not charging when it is plugged into my mac desktop

My Ipad 2 says not charging when it is plugged into my computer and it does not show up on the side bar in the itunes app.

It is possible that the USB port is not working properly as well. This support article might be of help.

Sometimes all it takes is a restart - quit iTunes, restart your Mac and restart your iPad and see if that helps at all.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Macbook Air (2012) says "Not Charging" when magsafe2 first plugged in but then starts charging after a few seconds. Is that normal?

Hi guys,
I just purchased my first Apple notebook, the Macbook Air 13", last week and needless to say its a wonderful machine. However I've noticed that when I plug in the magsafe2 plug to charge the Air, the text next to battery icon says "Not Charging" for a few seconds (ranges from 1 to 3 seconds) before it disappears and the battery starts charging (the thunderbolt sign comes on). Seeing as this is my first Apple notebook I am unsure as to whether or not this behaviour is normal. I've searched the forums but have only been able to find one other case (w/o a solution).
Thanks,
Dave

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the info so far but now the time until it starts charging has increased to around 9 - 11 seconds, is this still normal?
Thanks,

My IPad 2 won't stop saying not charging when plugged in any outlet

On the off chance try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Read the KB article. Make sure you are using the 10W adapter that came with the iPad or a High-Power USB 2.0 port.

My info for battery charging says "Not Charging" when it is charging as per dashboard widget.

My info for battery charging says "Not Charging" when it is charging as per dashboard widget. Since change to lion all slowed down do I need more ram ( have 2 gig). Lost some icons in web site icons and other random icons. So far SL better.

Yeah, it was purchased in August 2008. I'm not really sure what a charge cycle is, but I do plug it in and unplug it a lot to a power source. Mainly because I keep my computer on most of the time (either on or on sleep). So between taking it to classes and stuff, I'll recharge in between and when it's really low, otherwise I run it off the battery most of the time.
On a sidenote, I have went to that information thing about about the battery after letting it sit plug in for a few hours, and now it has this information:

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it was plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now I am unable to do that. I am able to drag songs and albums but not my playlists.

I have always been able to create playlists on itunes, then drag them to my ipod when it is plugged into the mac. I recently downloaded the latest version of itunes, and now am unable to do that. I can drag songs and albums to the ipod, but not my playlists. It used to be so easy, am I missing something here?

Plug your iPod into your computer, it will begin to sync. Now check to see if the playlists have been added.
If not, go to the songs tab under your iPod when it is connected to iTunes, Unless you have checked "Sync all songs (or something to those words)" you should have an option on what you can put on your iPod. Make sure to check the playlists that you want on your iPod.

No. You are the only one. The way I know is that I don't have the problem, therefore no one else can have it.
Seriously, no matter what problem you have, with a half billion iPhones in use, someone else will have the same or similar problem. So knowing that doesn't help solve it in the slightest. As it's new and still in warranty I would take it to an Apple store. Make a genius bar appointment first so you won't have a long wait.

I have an iPhone 5. It says I have 537 songs on it but every song shows the cloud icon. I have gone through every suggested step I've googled and deleted songs but settings still shows them. When it's plugged into my mac itunes shows it only has 42 songs.

Hi ellafromva,
From your description, it sounds like you may have iTunes Match activated; you may find the following article helpful:

I inherited an 2003 ipod from my daughter. The controls will not work when it is plugged into a power source. Can anyone help?

But they work normally when not plugged in? What kind of power source are you plugging it into? It maybe outputting more than what the iPod can handle. I had this happen to an iPod I plugged into a powerstrip that was plugged into the cigarette lighter in a vehicle an experienced the same thing.

Mag Safe charger says "Not Charging" when i plug it in

this just started today. Sometimes the light on the charger blinks orange. But when i plug it in it says "not charging". And the battery isnt fully charged because it says (0:55) when I unplug the charger. Whats going on?

What you're describing is mostly normal.
The power management software will not charge your battery until it dips below 95% charge. This saves you battery cycles and ultimately helps the battery to last longer before needing to be replaced. When the battery is less than 100% but more than 94% charged, the menubar display will read "Not Charging." Nothing to worry about there.
However, if you're seeing "Not Charging" and the battery is at 94% or less, then there's a problem. When you see "Not Charging" again, change the display to show percentage, and verify that it is 95% or more.
What is definitely not normal is the blinking; start by resetting the SMC:

If the blinking persists, there may be a hardware issue which Apple should repair as you're still under warranty.
It might also be helpful to check the health of your battery. Go to the Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, and click on Power from the left side of the System Profiler window that appears. Copy and paste into this thread the "Charge Information" and "Health Information" about your battery. That can give us a sense of whether there really is a problem with the battery.

My iPad says it not charging when it's plugged in

When i plug my ipad in it says (not charging) next to the battery symbol

Hi,
USB cables are not sufficient enough for an iPad. You need to use wall power.

I just put a new battery into my MacBook and it sometimes says Not Charging when it is connected to a power adapter.

Does anyone know what this might mean? My battery just went down to 7 percent charge even though it had been connected to the power adapter for quite some time. At least a few days. I didn't notice that the battery wasn't charging. Now it says it is charging again, but every once in a while I notice it has gone to not charging. Any ideas?
Thanks

Oftentimes the travel chargers connectors and pins just build up dirt and grime. When it says not charging it's able to give enough power to function but not charge. Try wiping it down with a cloth!
