My Ipad Air wont sync or charge thru laptop

My ipad air 7.0.4 wont connect to itunes( the latest one) or charge thru laptop

Could be a bad cable. Make sure the connector is fully seated.
The laptop doesn't provide enough USB power to charge. Use the charger that came with your iPad.

Hi When you change your iPad, even if its off it will, turn on when you connect, to charger Check lightining port for any bits. Do a Reboot press &hold power button & menu button hold both down until you see Apple Logo This may help. Cheers Brian

I've just bought an iPad Air and when it charges it chews up enormous amounts of wifi.

i have just bought an iPad Air and when it charges it uses up huge amounts of wifi data nearly 1G.

Did you set your iPad to make iCloud backup?
Settings > iCloud > Backup > iCloud Backup: ON ?
Or did you synced purchases from iTunes/App/iBooks Store?

TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there. If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

IPad air is slow to charge the battery

My new iPad air is slow to charge the Battery? I am comparing it to an ipad2

Try a different cable
Use the power adapter/charger that came with the device
Don't charge from a PC's USB ports as they likely do not supply enough current to adequately charge the iPad. Charging will be slow.
Don't use an iPhone's charger to charge the iPad. It's not recommended as it does not supply enough current and will charge *very* slowly.
Try to clean out the 30-pin/Lightning port on the device using a clean toothbrush (or similar) & blow it out. There may be dust/lint preventing proper electrical connection. The older 30-pin port is much more prone to dust & lint getting inside and it's internal conductors are very small. Clean the port out thoroughly and also the 30-pin connector on the cable.

IPad Air wifi sync a lot slower than iPhone 5s?

I just got my new iPhone 5s yesterday and found out that its wifi syncing to itunes is a lot faster than the iPad Air I bought a few days ago. Actually iPad Air wifi syncing is so much slower than iPhone 5s, almost half speed, just as slow as wifi syncing with my iPhone 4, is this normal?
I've tested another iPad Air of my friend, and found out that his new iPad is as slow as mine. Anyone know WHY? Is there anything / settings we're missing?
I have the latest AirPort Extreme as wifi router.

It's not much help but here is another thread with similar problems.

Does the iPad air come with a charger

Do I need to purchase a wall charger for iPad air?

As stated in your duplicate, the iPad Air ships with a charger.

IPad Air and 4th gen charging question

Does the ipad 4th gen and iPad Air use the same charger. And can I use an iPhone 4s charger with a 30pin to lightning adapter to charge them?

The iPad chargers fudge the USB standard a tad by pumping 1 Amp of current across the cable to ensure a faster charging time. Nornally USB should only carry 0.5 Amp, which is what the iPhone charger pumps out and is why it shouldn't be used with the iPads.
Using the bigger iPad charger for all is fine: the iPad will charge as it should, the iPhone will sip less current and charge as usual. I don't even remember where I put the phone's brick; have two iPad bricks I use for everything.

Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have the sync photos preference selected in iTunes and photos are still not syncing, I would recommend processing the steps in the article below.

My iPhone 4s and my IPad Air doesnt Sync with iCloud very well

they just dont work as they supposed to. They don't sync my contacts well neither my bookmarks or my list of reading. This is annoying me so much.
So, any help please?
p.s.: I've tried to turn off safari and contacts sync, turn off the devices and turning them on and Safari and contacts too, still don't work well.

Hey Matheus M. Jeronimo,
If you are having issues syncing your iPad Air with iCloud, I would first suggest updating your iOS to the most recent version. Here are some troubleshooting resources for contacts, bookmarks and reading lists. Click on the links for complete details.

IPhone 5S/IPad Air not syncing calendars (facebook, exchange, iCloud etc)

I have an iPhone 5S and an iPad Air. Both with iOS 8.1.
Recently I noticed that since the latest updates calendar activities are not syncronized as they should. On My iPhone all my events from the fb calendar are gone, even though the phone marks them as being shown.
iCloud calendars are not synced, missing events from both an exchange server and also from apples own iCloud.
When comparing the iPad and the iPhone it is not the same events that are missing. The phone missing the most activities while the iPad have retained more activities.
Not being able to rely on the phone for my calendars is a major problem for me since I am rarely at my computer(iMac running Yosemite, that sync everything just perfectly).
I have removed accounts anre resynced everything to no avail.
And I think that these issues began with the release of iOS 8.1.

Yes.

IPad Air taking forever to charge!

My new iPad Air needed it's first big charge last night - was down to about 9% battery. I put it on charge at 11pm and at 7am this morning it had only reached 82%. Is this normal?

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
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).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
