My iPad is not charging. What can I do ?

Are you using an iPad charger? If you're using iPhone ones they don't work well because they give out half the power the iPad wants.
If you're using the right charger, try giving your ipad a reset? Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds until the Pad reboots. Then try to charge again.
You can also try swapping out the charger if you have a spare, and the cable, to see if they're the issue.

Using iCloud Glen ?
If so, on your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud
Select: Contacts
Give iCloud a few minutes to sync the data.
For the iPad, make sure Contacts is switched on. Tap Settings > iCloud

My iPad will not charge, it can sync to iTunes and transfer data/music to it, but when plugged in to a USB or an A/C wall adapter all it says is not charging.

A lot of computers (especially older ones) generally do not provide enough power to their USB ports to charge the iPad at a sufficient rate - it may still be charging slowly, and should be a bit quicker if the iPad's screen is off (if you leave it for a while and then disconnect it from your computer you may find that it's battery percentage has gone up). The wall charger is usually the most efficient way to charge the iPad.
In terms of the wall charger, have you tried a different charger and/or cable, or do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
Have you tried a reset to see if it charges after the iPad has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I worked for a company that closed down and inherited an ipad 2 linked to Vodafone uk as the carrier but no account details. So I factory reset, downloaded the ios7and added EE sim and Ipad does not work. what can I do? Voda/EE/Apple say NO SOLUTION?

I inherited an Ipad 2 from a company that I had worked for in the UK but had closed down.
It was an IPAD2 locked to the Vodafone UK network by a Vodafone SIM Card.
No account details were or are available for the original account.
So I removed the Vodafone SIM Card and then factory reset wirelessly using my wireless at home.
I updated the system to IOS 7.0.2.
I was then sold under a contract from EE another UK carrier a SIM card for the Ipad and when inserted the Ipad says Sim not applicable.
I checked with Vodafone and EE shop and they said they cant unlock it, I checked with Apple who said the same!
So I have an IPad I can use wirelessly at home, a sim card from EE which is an u
locked Vodafone carrier mode and all 3 multinational companies say they cannot unlock it from Vodafone to enable me to use the EE sim.
What can I do to sort this mess out? Please help!
Thank You

Steve, have you tried just going through the unlock form here?
http://www.vodafone.co.uk/vodafone-uk/forms/unlock-code-request/
That's what the moderator in several older threads in Vodaphone's forum said was all that is necessary. Carriers often won't unlock for anyone but the original account holder, so if you don't have the details of the company's account, that might be the barrier in which case there will not be any way to get the iPad officially unlocked.
Good luck.

I have my iphone plugged in, it shows that it is connected but will not charge. what can i do?

Yesterday when I got up I noticed my phone did not charge the night before. I unplugged it and tryed a different outlet, and a different plug and my computer. None worked. I went to verizon they told me nothing can be done but to get a new phone. This morning I took a soft brush and a little bit of alcohol and now it is reconizing the charger but not charging. What can I do?

Maybe it is charging but battery meter is not updating. Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone restarts itself, ignore the "slide to power off". See if it seems to be charging now, or is fully charged. If still not charging, most likely the damage that the dock experienced possibly killed the battery. Battery replacement would be my next step.

My ipod classic is not charging. what can I do?

my classic ipod will not charge through computer or dock. Tried reseting...nothing. It will not even give me any indication that it is working. When tring to charge the battery, the battery icon doesn't even appear. What can I do?

Most likely the iPod battery is dead.
If you connect the iPod to a USB2.0 port and reset it, what do you see on the iPod Screen. Can you get to the Music menu and play music? or do you get the "Do not disconnect screen"?
Have a nive day!

My iphone 4s will not charge - what can I do?

I have had my iphone for about 8 weeks now, and now I can't get it to charge, even I put in the usb cable in my pc, or in the normal switch on the wall - what to do?

Try following these steps.

Battery does not charge from the USB power adapter
Important: Only original iPhone can be charged from a FireWire-based power source. If iPhone is connected to a computer that's turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the battery may drain.
Verify that the outlet being used is working.
Try another USB power adapter if available.
If no other USB power adapter is available, try connecting to a high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be turned on and not in sleep or standby mode.
Try another USB cable if available.

Hi i just got my new ipad today and it was on i don't why but its new and when i plug it into my computer at the top of the ipad says not charging how can i make it charge?

new ipad won't charge but i can download everytthing but the top says not charging and its at 20%

That is perfectly normal with the new iPad. Your USB port does not supply enough power to charge the iPad. This is copied from Apple's web site about the iPad battery.
Charging Tips
The quickest 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. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode. 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.
You can read the rest of it here.

HT5012 Why my iPad says not charging..what can I do about this??

My iPad is connected to my lab top for the 1st time and it says "Not Charging" what can I do about this?

This is normal, as the USB ports on most computers do not provide sufficient current to charge the iPad properly. It is best to charge it with the included high power adapter.

My iPad won't charge what is wrong?

My iPad does not charge what is wrong ?

Are you using the charger that came with the iPad? And do you have that plugged into a known good wall outlet?
If yes then there are very few things that can be wrong.
1. Bad cable. Try a different cable.
2. No power to the outlet.
3. Bad charger. Try a different charger.
4. Charging port has lint or dirt in it. Check and carefully clean if necessary.
5. Software failure. First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
6. Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

The battery on our IPad is not charging??

the battery on our IPad is not charging, what to do??

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.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) 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 (2.5W, 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.htmlhttp://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.

I've the same problem after installed iOS7.0.2, my ipad3 just couldn't charge to 100% when pluging on my desktop, so I have to use wall plug for full charge. I am sick of iOS 7 and wish I didn't upgrade it.

Clean the charging port.
Charge using the supplied wall charger, not your computer.
Try another charger and/or cable.
If none of these work, you have a hardware problem.
