My iPad 3 is not charging with the supplied charger consistently

My new iPad 3 for ATT (64gb) that I just bought from the Apple refurbished store is having major charging issues. I was using my old iPad 2 Apple supplied charger and a 6ft aftermarket USB cable for the last 18 months or so with zero problems.
I plugged in my new iPad 3 the day after I got it because the one I got the day before needed to be replaced. The one I have now is from my local Apple store. I noticed after a few hours, that it displayed 72% and the NOT CHARGING display at the top. I tried several different cables (I sell them and have a few hundred), three different 10W chargers in the next 10 minutes and none would work properly. I used the wall outlet, then tried an extension cord from my UPS and then the extension cord from the wall and that didn’t work either. Several of the old chargers, including the iPhone block chargers would tease me and start working only to stop a minute later. I waited for an hour or so and tried again, the new charger and cable did charge it to 100 % from the wall outlet.
The next night, I plugged in that same 10watt original charger again from the wall at 32% and woke up 7 hours later to 58% and NOT CHARGING again. I tried the original aftermarket charger and the aftermarket 6ft cable in the wall and got it to 78% before it showed the NOT CHARGING again. I’m now at work using a third party 10w charger and a generic 6ft USB cable. It’s working so far but I don't know for how long.
I never had anything like this with my iPad 2. Does this sound familiar to anyone else? Should I take the charger and cable back to the apple store? Frankly I don’t think it’s either one but I’m grasping for any answer now. This stinks big time.

things that are normal for not charging
using iPhone chargers, using USB ports....they won't work. iPhone chargers put out 5W the iPad wants 10. Most USB's put out too little power to do anything but a trickle charge. So that part is normal.
However, out of all the combos you've tried, most of them should have worked. Make an appointment and get that refurb back to the store to be checked out.

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !

When I set up the cloud control panel on my pc it will not allow me to ck the option for callandor and contacts to use that feature. Therefor my ipad callendar will not sync with the cloud

When i set up the cloud controll panal on my pc it will not allow me to ck the box for contacts, callandor etc. There for my Ipad will not sync my callendos or contacts with the cloud

I think you are mistaken, your ipad has no problem to sync with the cloud. Your pc however does, since you can't check the check box. So why do not you try to concentrate on that part of problem and find out why. For starters, check what happens if you disable your antivirus/firewall on your computer/network and check box again. Describe what you see and messages you get. Good luck.

HT201406 i can't turn on my ipad at all, not even with the sleep keep, how can i start it again

I can't turn on my IPAD, not even with holding the sleep bottom, how can i star my IPad again

Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Please help. I have an iPad mini and an iPad Air. I have recently upgraded to an iPhone 5s. Since then my iPad mini will not sync with the other devises on my calendar. The calendar settings on all 3 devises look to be the same.

PRob

The devices do not sync with each other, never did. They sync to a server (iCloud, Google. Yahoo etc).
So which service do you use for your calendars

It talks extensively about charging in the user guide, and how USB ports on PCs and older Macs may not provide sufficient power to charge the iPad. The user guide is available for free from the iBook store (accessed directly via the iPad iBooks app).
My iPad charges fine when plugged in to the back of my iMac, but I would always prefer to use the mains adaptor to save the strain on my USB circuits (which can wear out if used heavily to power external devices).

The iPad Mini does not charge using a laptop

My brand new iPad Mini does not charge using my macbook pro, but it does when is connected to de ac power wall adapter !!!

That is the way is is supposed to work. Your MBP does not supply enough power to charge the battery efficiently. It may be charging, but at a trickle rate and it will show as not charging. That is why a power adapter is included with the iPad. Use it.

You probably using a 5W charger. Use the 10W charger that comes with your iPad.

HT4060 My new ipad 4 will not charge with wall adapter.

My new ipad 4 will not charge when I plug it in with wall adapter? It shows the low red battery, the charge sign but also shows the plug in sign. The plug in does not go away.

If the battery has been completely depleted it may take more than an hour before the iPad becomes responsive again. Leave it on the charger overnight. If it does not charge up by the next morning make an appointment at an Apple store to have it looked at.

Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

Unable to sync or backup my iPad2 with the new iTunes. I keep getting the error ""iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.". I've deleted all the old backups but still get this.

I'm totally frustrated by iTunes and don't know how to solve my problem. Like a lot of people on here I'm not able to sync or back up my iPad2 with my iTunes (version 10.4.1.10). I'm running Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit. My iTunes worked just fine until the 10.4.xx updates came out and since June I've not been able to back up or sync the iPad2.
When I connect and try to sync I get the error message, “iTunes could not back up the iPad because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad.”
I've deleted all the old backups so there are none on my system. I've deleted iTunes and re-installed the 64bit version several times but it has not made any difference. I've read and followed several suggestions on these boards about how to remove and reinstall everything but none have worked yet. I'm stumped here.

I had the exact same thing with my shuffle - same error message saying that it was corrupt so I restored it (wiping everything in the process) and the same message came up as soon as it reloaded. Thank god I didn't try it with my iPod or iPhone first. So many issues with this new version of iTunes!!!!!!!!

Do you have one, two or more entries in the left colum of Mail.app for your mail server(s)? That is, do you have your Mail.app set up with either a btinternet entry, with a btyahoo entry, or both? Or more?
I'm guessing that you might have one account (btyahoo?) listed for incoming (IMAP server) mail, and with the outbound (SMTP server) mail is configured and named btinternet.
Based on what little I see posted, it looks like BT uses both btinternet and btyahoo, but I'm not exactly clear on how they have their stuff set up, and their web set gets helpful and tries to help configure my mail — I don't immediately see a single web page with the mail server set-up details. The BT email client set-up starts here.

My iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening. My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud.

my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening. My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud. Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.
Most recent version of mountain lion updated over a month ago. New iPad in use for over a month.
thanks

The same thing is happening to me, Mail was fine about an hour ago and now is rejecting correct password. Typical when today I'm waiting some important emails!

I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but im getting this message "iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. then try again." How?

I just got my refurb iPad in the mail. I am trying to set it up, but i am getting this error message " iTunes could not back up the ipad because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipad. Delete the backup for this ipad. Then try agian." How do I do that?

It sounds like the iPad wasn't erased to me. If the iPad is totally cleared of content, there should be nothing on it and no backup to create.
Without connecting the iPad to your computer - Launch iTunes on you computer and go to Edit>Prefences>Devices. Do you see an iPad backup in there? If you do see it, delete it.
