My iPad is losing its charge very quickly

i used to be able to keep my iPad going for two days on one charge.  Web browsing or checking email would only drop it 1 or 2 %.  All of a sudden - with no apparent reason - the battery is draining like crazy.  It will go down 15% in30 minutes when I'm not doing ANYTHING!  I took it in to the Apple Store and they said the battery was fine.  Has anyone else had this problem?  It's an iPad 3 that I bought in January of this year.  The battery worked great until a week or so ago.

Try turning off the following:
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Push>OFF
Settings>Notifications>Mail>Gmail>Notification Center>OFF
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Fetch New Data>Off

  • My Ipad is losing its charge and grainy photo quality

    When I sent my iPad away to be fixed as it wasn't keeping its charge, it came back not fixed ( so its still losing charge a lot quicker than most I pads) and my photo albums came back with a grainy quality on the photos and blank boxes between them. I don't know wether to send it back again or is this normal?

    as far as the battery is concerned you may need to check out your multi tasking by being on the home screen double tapping the home button and then holding down one for the application that shows up in the line in tell it shakes then go ahead and hit the minus sign on all the application. all those programs would still be running on your phone just in the back ground

  • Hello I am using Ipad 4 and its charger is not working while I was using it few days before and it was working properly now it says that the cable does not support this Ipad Please Help me out.

    Hello I am using Ipad 4 and its charger is not working while I was using it few days before and it was working properly now it says that the cable does not support this Ipad Please Help me out.

    Try a reset:
    - Hold the home button and sleep/wake button down at the same time. When the Apple logo appears release both buttons then try and charge again.
    If issue persists try:
    - Another known working cable
    - Check the charging port for any damage or debris
    - You could also use a dry soft bristle toothbrush and gently brush it on the port to clean it of any debris that could be in there

  • Iphone 4S losing battery life VERY quickly

    Just recently my Iphone 4S has been losing battery life VERY quickly.  I have heard that it may have something to do with a IOS update.  I also have heard from several people that they have suddenly been experiencing the same thing.  Does anyone have a fix to problem?  If so, how?

    Many people are having similar issues, especially since the release of iOS6. I went to the Apple store and the first and only thing the fellow did was disable location serivces for the apps that did not really need it, and that doubled my battery life.

    iPod touch lost in snow 2 mos, found yesterday songs played ok today charged fully but lost charge very quickly. What can I do to try to fix this myself before sending it in for repair?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Got big problem with my iphone , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..

    got big problem with my iphone4 , its not charging as it did before i updated (5.0.1) Now its charging very slowly and it doesnt show the charging sign on screen..

    How do you know its charging very very slowly? Is the screen back on?
    Once a month you should charge your phone to 100% then drain it, then charge it back up to 100%.
    Just leave the phone in and do what is said above.
    How long do you think it will take to charge to 100%?

  • IPad keeps losing its internet connection since updating to OS 8.1?

    Since updating to the latest OS my iPad keeps dropping its internet connection. It has to be shut down and restarted then its back on line, but a while later will drop out again. What is wrong, and what can I do to correct it?

    Try freeing up some memory by clearing open apps running in the background. Most people don't know this, but if you have a ton of apps running it can cause a few to crash. Double tap the home button to bring up the bottom. Every app down below is running in the background. Hold your finger down on one till they wiggle. Hit the minus button on all of them. It's good to clear this out of stuff your done using.

  • My iPod loses its charge pretty quickly it there something I'm not doing (besides turning "off" the app after I use them I the evening?

    I just became the proud parent of an iPhone last week. I'm surprised at how fast I lose my charge during its normal use everyday. I charge it every night, is that too much? Do I need to let it go completely drained before recharging it each night? I do remember to "turn off" the apps I use every evening. Is there something else I should be doing? Do I need to take off some apps if they might be draining the battery? Thanks, Trish

    Allow the battery to be completely depleted before charging the battery is worse for the battery than charging more often. I connect my iPhone to a power source whenever possible so when I take off, the battery is closer to being fully charged or fully charged. I leave my iPhone connected to a power source every night. When the battery is fully charged while remaining connected to a power source, charging stops.

  • My iPad keeps losing its network connection.  All of the other wireless devices in my house are fine.  Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

    I have an IPad 1 with 16 G of memory and wiFi only.  For the last 2 days it has been dropping off of the wireless network repeatedly.  I have a wireless laptop next to it that is fine.  I am working where I normally do and have had no problems until the last couple of days.  My other IPad works just fine and my macbook pro is also having no problems.  Does any one have any idea where to begin troubleshooting?

    Just a follow up with a successful ending, I think.
    Got the replacement iPad2. Synced it on itunes, put in my old SIM card, and tried it out. I was heartbroken when it had exactly the same problem with wifi connectivity! Dropped my home wifi connection every few minutes or seconds. Had to be prompted to find home network.
    Then I tried turning OFF "Ask to Join Networks" as suggested by another poster on Apple Support. Suddenly, I had steady wifi connectivity. I left it that way overnight and even when I woke it from hibernating, it was still connected to wifi!!
    Thinking I found the answer, I decided to go back to my original iPad2. I had previously used "Erase All Content and Settings" when I received the replacement iPad2 and so, had to Restore from my iTunes. After doing that, my original iPad2 now holds a wifi connection!! (And I did NOT turn off "Ask to Join Networks".)
    So was it fixed by my erasing all content and settings and then restoring it back? Maybe. I called Apple Support again and they did not have any answers or suggestions. They did say that turning off "Ask to Join Networks" would have no effect on connectivity but it did stop the iPad to keep prompting me to choose a network to join! 
    I would be interested if this "fix" works for anyone else because I see it is a fairly common complaint.

  • IPod Battery Drains Very Quickly - NEW BATTERY 3 TIMES

    Hello all,
    I have a problem with my iPod 5G 60gb video. I've had it for a few years, about a year ago it started losing its battery very quickly. I replaced the battery 2 or 3 times, but this did nothing. I can charge it up fine, but it seems it drains much quicker than normal. The main problem is that it drains even when the iPod is in sleep mode. If I leave it overnight, it will be dead in the morning.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is it a motherboard problem? I'm sure it's not the battery.
    Thanks.

    I forgot to add:
    I restored the iPod via iTunes once, nothing changed. I turned backlight down all the way, no significant difference. I have no alarm clocks on, and turned off all clocks on the iPod as well.

  • IPad 2 will not charge or be recognized by iTunes

    Ok... before anything is said, I have read basically every thread here and elsewhere regarding this issue. I have reset the iPad and done everything else many times over.
    The problem here is not exactly that my iPad will not charge no matter what. If I plug the device into the wall it DOES charge, albeit very, VERY slowly and the lightning bolt sign does not show up. I left the device plugged in and off for two consecutive days and the charge went from 2% to about 40% in that time and then drained very quickly once I used it.
    As I said, the lightning bolt does not come up even though the device knows that it is plugged in. After one of the resets I did, the lightning bolt came on and the iPad appeared to be charging very quickly. A few minutes later the cord got knocked just the tiniest bit out of the port and when it was plugged back in fully, the lightning bolt did not appear and has not come back since after many resets.
    It also refuses to be recognized by iTunes as well as my computer entirely, even while it is in recovery mode.
    I recently upgraded to iOS 5.1, began using iCloud and began using iTunes match, dont know if these things have anything to do with this.

    I also have the same problem, could you expound in detail how theresolve

  • My iPad 2 loses charge very very quickly

  • Why does my iphone 4 keep loosing charge so quick

    I have recently noticed my iphone 4 keeps loosing charger very quick. Im having to charge it atleast twice a day anyone know how to resolve the problem by keeping the charge a little longer

    First, I doubt your phone is "loosing" charge.  It's probably "losing" charge. 
    Second, you need to look in the "More Like This" box to your right or search this forum for excellent tips on how to maximize battery life.
