My iPad is charging way to slow.

My iPad is charging way to slow ! What do you guys think? It was OK until couple of days ago?

Hi Beerlover1974,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPad seems to be charging slowly, make sure you are using one of the two methods to ensure that the power source is sufficient to charge the device:
Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and USB power adapter (use the table below to determine which adapter is intended for your iPad.)
Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.
See the article below for more information that can help:
iPad is designed to charge with the USB power adapter provided in the box. iPad will charge with any Apple USB Power Adapter and will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port. When attached to a computer through a standard USB port (most PCs or earlier Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad through 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.

  • TS3274 My ipad 2 charges very, very slow. It was on the charger for 7 hours and went from 41% charged to 77% charged.

    My ipad 2 is charging very, very slow. Is was on the charger for 7 hours and went from 41% to 77%. I have tried several different charger, even purchased a new charger. What could the problem be?

    Could be your battery needs replacing.
    First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Can I switch back iOS 7. iOS making my iPad 2 work way too slow.

    Updated  my iPad 2 to ios 8  now everything working slow. Not going to buy a new iPad

    There is no "SUPPORTED" way to downgrade.  However, if you do a google search, you may find instructions that will work for a short period of time (Until Apple stops signing 7.1.2.)

  • "iPad not charging Connect to a power adapter or a USB port on this mac to charge" Maverick issue!

    Ever since we updated to mavericks our deployment of 60 iPad's flashes "iPad not charging Connect to a power adapter or a USB port on this mac to charge" on the screen every time one is plugged in. It is a false alarm because the iPad does in fact trickle charge and it does update the device like it is supposed to. At this point it's more of an annoyance then an actual problem. However I would like it to stop popping up every time one is plugged in.
    Does anybody have any ideas to stop it?

    Your computer USB port typically provides only 2.5W of power. iPads require 10-12W of charging power. That's why you get the "Not Charging" message. However, the iPad is charging, but much slower. There's no way to stop it.

  • IPad 3 charging v e r y slow. What to do??

    I have the new iPad3;, and upgraded to the latest software. It charges v e r y slow, about 5%/hr. Is this a software or hardware issue, and what to do about it?
    Regards

    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%.

    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.

  • My iPad is charging slower then usual why?

    i have an ipad2 bought it new 2yrs ago anyone know why it would all of a sudden start charging vary slow.

    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.)

  • IPad Air 2 very slow when charging with iPad Mini Charger

    I just realized that my iPad Air 2 gets unusably slow (lag when scrolling and typing) when I use the 10W charger of an 1st generation iPad Mini instead of the also 10W (sic!) charger included with my Air 2.
    Anyone else having this problem? What does lead to this problem?
    I've already resetted my Air 2, but it didn't change anything.

    Use the charger and cable that came with the device to charge it.
    The first gen iPad mini came with the 5 watt charger and not the 10 watt. The 10 watt chargers come with the mini Retina (now called the mini 2) and mini 3.
    ID your chargers here: https://www.apple.com/power-adapters/
    That being said about the charger wattage, I see no reason why the Air 2 would react in the way you describe. My Air 2 simply says "Not Charging" when I use a 5 watt charger with it (which I do not normally do) but does not react any differently as you describe.
    If at all possible, I would make a Genius Bar reservation at your nearby Apple Store and take the whole lot of devices, chargers and cables in to have them evaluated & to possibly get to the root of the problem. It may be that the mini's charger is defective in some way and causes the Air 2 to react the way it does. I really doubt it's due to the wattage difference.

  • Does the iPad mini have the same slow charging issues as my "New IPad"?

    I'm considering returning my New IPad and purchasing the iPad mini due to the slow charging issues with my New IPad. Does anyone know if the mini has the same issue?  Does anyone know if Apple is planning on offering a different charger for the New IPad?  I love everything about the New IPad except the charging system. I can't use it as much as I would like to.  It's so disappointing!!!!

    I also have issues when charging my brand new iPad mini. I got astonished when I tried to charge it yersterday and realized it took more more time to charge than my iPod Touch 4th generation, which really charges very fast! It even did'nt charge completely so when I got home I put mi iPad mini to charge overnight, at about 12.30 AM, when it had about 13% charge left.
    This morning I got shocked when I saw at 6 Am that it hadn't charged completely. Just 96%, which means the iPad mini can't be totally charged during a 6 hours charging session. So after reading all these posts I get disappointed with this huge issue for iPad users. How can we endure such a long charging sessions for a device that you normally use all the time. For instance, when you're traveling you always need to charge the iPad very quickly. Just a few travelers would allow their ipads to rule their schedules on such a bizarre way!
    I was also worried because I don't live in the States. It was my brother who bought it for me, so taking my device to the Apple Glass Cube in New York or any other retailer or just to have this issue technically solved is a big problem for me! So international customers who think to buy this wonderful mini tablet should consider that such a marvelous device is dealing with an absurd and disappointing big problem related to an aspect customers would hardly imagine.

  • Ipad Mini Charging Very Slow

    ***NEW PROBLEM***
    My Ipad Mini (which I got in December) is now charging super slow (which I mean that's taken 3 hours or more) to get from 82% to 97% usually it takes like 1 hour depending on how low it is.
    NOw this is very frusting considering how much the ipad was (I got it for a christmas present) but I know how much it was. This is ridicously every since the new update to IOS 6.1.2
    THIS IS NOT COOL. If this is how apple is going to run, I will never purchese anything from Apple again.
    Get your act together.
    Sinceraly:
    Upset Apple Custmer.

    Try doing a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. See if that helps. If not, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look.
    Also, was that other charger an iPad charger? it's easy to try to use iPhone chargers with ipads, and while they do kinda work, they do not totally work since the iPad wants twice as much power as the iPhone charger puts out.
    it will always be slow to charge on a computer. Your average USB puts out half as much power as the iPad wants.
    Also, if you have a different cord, try swapping that out as well.
    If an iPad wont' charge it's usually one of 4 things. Bad outlet, bad cable, bad power brick.
    Swap those out and either confirm or rule then out, and it leaves the port on your iPad. And if it's that then it's time to take your device to the apple store and have them check it out.

  • IPad 2  has become very slow when charging

    Since I upgraded to ios 7, my iPad 2  has become very slow when charging. And the battery drained very fast. I cannot put it on standby but need to power off completely when I am not using it. This is very troublesome.

    Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    Then restart the iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, then swipe the slider to power off.
    Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Then try charging the battery.

  • Why won't my iPad 2 charge above 50%?

    I recieved my iPad 2 as a gift in October of 2011. Up until now I've had no problems. Yesterday I had depleted my battery to about 7%, so I plugged it in for at least 4 hours while I went for a walk. When I came back the gauge said only 50%. I used it again and ran it to about 15% and plugged it in overnight; this morning it still says only 50%. The icon is showing that the battery is charging, but it's still depleting as I use it. Tried shutting down and restarting; still losing battery. I even tried shutting down all my apps (except Safari so I can research this); same thing. Any suggestions? The nearest Apple store is nearly 300 miles away, thankfully I'll be heading in that direction soon if I can't resolve this on my own.

    Are you using the wall charger?

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.
