My ipad 3 is not charging after ios 5 upgrade

my New ipad stopped charging after i upgraded iOS 5.1.1 , please help. It shows not charging either its connected to USB or adapter.I am using the same adapter and cable that came with ipad.

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%.

IPad 5 won't charge after ios 7 upgrade

iPad recognizes charger but does not charge. Never had an issue before ios 7 upgrade. Is this something I will have to take in to have repaired or is there a simple solution?

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.)

IPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update

iPad 2 switched off and not charging after iOS 7.1 update. Pls help me. I have tested my charger. Its working in another device. But my iPad 2 is not charging with other adapters too. What to do??

Hello, 92.romil.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would make sure you are using an Apple branded cable with your iPad. If you are, the troubleshooting steps in the article below may help. The steps listed below for the iPhone and iPod still apply to your iPad.
Resolving issues
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.

Ipad does not display charging after ios 6 upgrade plugged in

After upgrading to iOS 6 OTA my iPad does not appear to be charging when plugged in using the default charging cable plugged into the AC outlet. The battery icon has a lightning bolt through it as if it is not plugged in.
I did a reset and this did not solve it.

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 won't charge after ios 7.0.3 update

No push notifications, iMessage not working after iOS 7 upgrade

I'm not receiving push notifications for Apps such as Facebook after iOS 7 upgrade and iMessage & Facetime won't work. I repeatedly get a pop-up message to connect to iTunes for push notifications but connecting to iTunes does nothing. I have searched endlessly for a resolution but can only find answers directed at iPhone users. I am so regretting upgrading, I was very happy with how everything worked before. I should also say that I have nil experience on matters "Apple" and technical jargon is lost on me :(

There are hundreds or people wih this exact same problem and apple has no interest in fixing it or publicly giving and answer to the issues.
They Botched this release big time. I look forward to having tp wipe my 64gb iPad and start from scratch. Oh boy do I!!

TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

My ipad 3 is not charging after update to ios 6

I Just updated my ipad 3 to ios 6 and now my battery will not charge anymore?!?

Just got off the phone with Apple. At least the wait time was short and the technician spoke clearly, but ultimately the issue is not resolved.
First thing we tried was doing a hard reboot, then reset the phone by going into settings -> general -> Reset -> Erase Content and Settings. This was supposed to bring the phone back to IOS 5.1.1 and would confirm if it was the iOS6 or a hardware issue. it still wouldn't charge and so we assumed it was hardware and setup an exchange. Keep in mind this phone is less than 6 months old.
After the fact, I realized that the restore did not actually remove iOS6 and so made a second call to tech support. After talking to a senior tech rep we discovered that once iOS6 is fully installed, there is no going back. Especially since iTunes won't recognize the phone being connected in addition to the not charging.
I'm curious to watch this thread and see if the number of people with this problem continues to escalate. I think 5 could still be coincidence with literally millions of people upgrading to iOS6 but if there is in fact a software issue causing it I imagine this number to increase exponentially over the next few days and weeks.

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.

My iPad 4 Won't Charge after iOS 7.0.3 "Upgrade"

After upgrading operating system as requested by Apple, my iPad will no longer charge. It won't charge from USB, it won't charge from Apple branded wall mounted charger and it won't charge from either source with one of two Apple branded sync cables I have tried. Both the cables and both sources of power work fine with my iPod Classic.
The iPad now has no power at all, so no form of two button re-set will work.
I have to say I am a REALLY disappointed customer.

Hi,
From what you have said two things may have happened:
1) There is a glitch in iOS 7 meaning it does not recognise any chargers.
2) During the upgrade progress, the internal battery or the internal charger broke in your iPad.
Hope this helps!

My ipad battery drains much faster after iOS 7 upgrade

my ipad battery drains 4x faster after ios7 upgrade.....how do I fix this?

Dig into your settings. iOS7 defaults a lot of stuff on that you may not need. Such as tons of notifications, background app updates, background app refresh. Turn extra stuff off and see if that helps.

Internet and data not working after iOS 7 upgrade

Help! Still no internet after the ios7 upgrade. Apple has told me many things. Have restored network settings, done a hard refresh, back up and restored. Try the sim in another phone (internet worked). Take to an apple store (3.5hrs away thanks but no thanks). Can Anyone help?

Have you tried restoring as a new device (not from a backup)?

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.

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.

2 ipads and neither will charge after ios 8.02 update

We have an iPad 2 and an iPad 3 and updated them both from whatever version of 7 we were running to 8.02 last night. Now neither will charge. I've done hard restarts on both of them. I've tried both Apple chargers and different outlets. I've tried connecting it to the PC. Nothing. The 3 is nearly dead now and the 2 is dwindling rapidly. Both were charging just fine yesterday before we updated them. Any ideas?

For device connectivity issues see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, and TS4062: iTunes 10.5 and later: Troubleshooting iTunes Wi-Fi syncing.
