Ive just bought an ipad, and uodated to ios7..... now it wont charge..... any ideas?

Ive just bought an ipad 2, updated to IOS7, now it wont charge. Anyone have any suggestions?

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
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.)
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%.
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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi. Any ideas?

Just bought my ipad and cant connect to my home wifi trying to do initial set up.
My wifi is working as my macbook runs off it..any ideas?

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again, this will refresh the IP address of the iPad.
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
3. Try changing router security e.g. WEP/WPA/WPA2
4. Have you updated router firmware?

The last time I synced my iphone with itunes, I lost all my contacts, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I lost all my apps and the music isn't synced. Also, I just bought an ipad, and it won't sync at all.

The last time I synced my iphone to itunes, I lost all my contact info, photos, calendar, and voice memos. This time I still have them, but I lost all the apps I had downloaded. Also, I just bought an ipad, and itunes does not recognize it.

Re: That garbage is unreadable.
If you really want help, stop messing with the fonts and post so that others can read and offer suggestions.
Or better yet... try a search, I'm certain you'll find a solution to whatever issue you're experiencing.
I have found that many times it is the things that make you most angry that push you to action. This was the case here. Thank you for causing me to get so angry that I found the answer myself.

I just bought this ipad and cannot log out from icloud because i dont have the password.how can i log out from icloud?need help

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

HT201209 i just bought an ipad and while creating my apple id i am asked to input itunes gift code........ where do i get that from

i just bought an ipad and while attempting to use my apple id in itunes i am asked for an itunes gift code which i have no knowledge of how i can get that code............... please someone help me out

The gift code field is an optional field, it's an alternative to credit cards for paying for content from iTunes. Gift cards are not available in all countries (so you may not be able to fill it in anyway), and they are country-specific (they can only be used in their country of issue) - if you are in a country where they are available then you might be able to buy them from Apple stores, supermarkets, electrical stores etc.

I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it I plugged in to charge and tryed to turn on and all it shows is the Itunes icon a picture of the cord. What does this mean? Cant get it to do anything else

I just bought a Ipad and know nothing about it. I have been charging it for about 2 hours and when I try to turn it on it shows the Itune icon and the plug thats it wont do anything else. Any suggestions on what to do?

iPads are devices and not PCs, so it needs a functioning relationship with a PC to work.
Download iTunes onto your PC, then connect your iPad to that PC. That should get you started.

We've just bought 2 iPads and seen our home internet usage nearly treble! (But our browsing habits haven't changed) Coincidence or unrelated? Any help gratefully received

"Our browsing habits haven't changed" - with all due respect, unless you have kept a diary or other record of specific internet activity, you have no way of knowing that. And you make no mention of what was used prior to the iPads to do this, so it would be difficult to make any kind of comparison.
Not only the browsers, but any number of apps on the iPads also access the internet.
You might want to check location services, and potentially turn it off for any apps that really don't need it. Likewise check you mail set up and reduce reliance on Push (I have mine set to strictly manual, but more to reduce interruptions than reducing internet usage)

Just bought an ipad and it is very difficult to insert the plug to charge it?

just bought an Ipad and it is very difficult to insert the plug to charge it, is this normal?

I assume you bought the iPad 2. It is a little more "difficult" to insert the connector on the new version due to the design - the curve and the angle if I remember reading correctly. I have the original. It should not be "very difficult" Make sure there is nothing impeding the connection. Check the connector cable and the dock on the iPad and make sure there is nothing there that could be causing a problem.
Inserting the USB into the adapter and then plugging into the wall socket should not be difficult at all if that is what you mean.

I have just bought a ipad and cant get the email link to work that verifies my email address, any idea?

I have just bought a ipad and the link that has been sent to my email acount will not work when i try to verify the email address, i have been sent the link 3 times by apple and none of them work. any Ideas?

Try a Reset [Hold the Home (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake (top right edge) buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!

What do you mean by copy? I thought the i cloud did that automatically for you. That's what I don't understand.

Go ahead and sync. You have plenty of battery to get that done.
USB pours do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. Once you finish your sync go ahead and use your iPad. Put it on the charger that came with it later.

I've just bought an iPad and there's a line that runs the whole length of the screen about an inch from the outside edge of the screen. Have I bought a faulty product?

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

When my 6 year old daughter plays the free games that I have downloaded for her IPAD and IPOD, I am now getting upgrade charges on these free games to my AMEX Card. WHy is this happening and how do I get my AMEX card off of the IPAD and IPOD?

She is making in app purchases. Probably not knowing what that means to your monthly credit card bill. Use the Settings app to enable restrictions and turn on restrictions for iTunes, App Store and in app purchases, mabe some others too. The restrictions will be set with a passcode to prevent your daughter from changing them.
Settings > General > Restrictions
