my ipad is not charging while connected to any device via usb cable

If you mean that you've connected it to a computer's USB port then a lot of computers don't 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.

  • Why is it that my ipad 3rd gen does not charge while connected to my laptop

    my ipad 3rd gen will not charge while connected to my laptop, just beside the battery meter it states not charging.

    Beacause the USB port of most computers don't supply sufficient current to properly charge it. It is best to charge it using the supplied power supply.

  • My iphone 4 is not being detected by any of my computers and not charging when connected to any computer.  It will, however, charge to the car or wall.  The only change that I can think of is that I downloaded a podcast from itunes directly from my phone.

    I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
    Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
    my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
    any suggestions?

    Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

  • My iPad will not charge from the wall outlet or the USB.  I also used three different chargers, as well as rebooting my iPad several times.

    Then it's time to make an appointment at your Apple Genius Bar at your Apple Store.  Apple will check it out and if it's defective and still in waranty (you don't say which model you have), it will be replaced.

  • My brand new Xperia Z2 won't connect to the PC via USB cable.

    My PC is running XP 64bit OS, my old Xperia U connects fine through the same USB cable and my Xperia Z2  recognizes flash drives connected to it via the supplied adaptor cable... Any ideas guys? does the phone perhaps not like my old version of windows?

    Hi Jake, thanks for the response.I gave your suggestions a go and found that restarting the PC with the phone already connected via USB caused the phone to briefly flash up "connected to computer" in the notifications bar.This occured immediately on start-up of the PC, during motherboard Bios, and dissapeared as soon as windows began to boot up. Upon windows starting, no mention of the phone is found anywhere under "my computer", device manager or in the task bar... More on the issue...the very first time i connected the phone to the PC, the computer was already running. The phone immediately asked me if i wanted to install PC Companion 2.1. Following the installation, the connection just went and hasn't come back since. I have noticed that PC Companion will not start on my PC. I've tried re-installing it several times from Sony website but when i try to run it I just get an hourglass for 5-10 seconds, then nothing. checking back through the system requirements for Pc Companion I've noticed that it asks for every OS except mine (XP 64bit)... could this be the problem with the software not running and perhaps the phone not being recognised?

  • Ipad 4 not charging, or connecting to wifi unless close. Fix?

    I have an Ipad 4 that had issues on 6.1.3 and when I updated to ios 7.0.2 I had more issues. On both ios versions I could not connect to my wifi unless I was really close to the router, and now that I updated to ios 7 the usb cable stopped charging, I can connect to itunes but my ipad is practically useless now that it doesn't charge

    the ipad keeps claiming the cable is not certified

  • Not able to connect to any phone via bluetooth

    Hi
    I have tried with sevral phones but not able to pair with any phone except apple itself via bluetooth. After verification of passcode, it shows processing for sometime and then message appears "not able to connect" or so!
    Please suggest.

    No.  The hardware overrules the software.
    If you have something plugging into the headphone jack, that will override the Bluetooth.

  • IPad 3 not visible to iTunes unless plugged in via USB...

    I am not sure when it started but my iPad 3 does not show up in the devices section of
    iTunes and wifi sync will not start when initiated from the iPad 3. It just keeps searching.
    Wifi *is* on and working fine.
    My iPhone 4s does not have this problem.
    If I plug the USB cable into the iPad3 then the iPad 3 does show up in the devices
    section of iTunes and will sync in either direction.
    Does anyone have a clue to the nature of this problem?
    Thanks

  • HT4060 What If my iPad is not charging while I'm using the compatible charger for it?

    Please help me, I don't know what to do.

    If you are using an Apple charger and not a third-party item, try using a different outlet, try a different charger if you can get one, use a different connecting cable, see that the dock connector port or lightning connector port is clean.  Reboot the iPad by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    If none of that helps, take the iPad and charger to an Apple store genius bar for testing.

  • Battery not charging while connected to computer.

    I just bought the iPhone and when the battery is very low, it won't charge on my computer and it won't even open up iTunes automatically when I connect it. The batter icon doesn't show as well. It does charge when I connect it to the wall outlet and it will charge on my computer if it is about 1/3 or more full. I connect it to my computer and wait to see if anything happens, but it doesn't. I tried turning it off, and resetting it, but still nothing.

    I've been having a similar issue for several months now. There are several other threads here dealing with this topic and I've tried all the solutions suggested. All work some of the time. None work all the time. These include:
    • changing charging device (ie, using wall charger instead of USB port, or vice versa)
    • power cycling the phone
    • doing a reset on the phone
    The issue is intermittent and occurs regardless of the charging device in use, and does not appear to be an overheating issue, as it can happen even if the phone has been out of use for a while.
    Apple has twice replaced my phone (thank God for AppleCare), but the problem has persisted. Right now, the only thing the Apple technicians can suggest is that I wait for tomorrow's OS upgrade and keep my fingers crossed.
    Given that (for me, at least) the issue dates back to the approximate time of the last OS upgrade (to 3.1.3), I'm sure hoping that will take care of it.
    Tonight for example, I spent two hours on the phone, while it was plugged into the computer. The phone was draining the whole time (as I discovered when the call was over). It then took me 20 minutes of fiddling with the various "fixes" to get it charging again. I'm pretty tired of this.

  • My ipad air will not charge when connected to any outlet with its own cable and plug.

    I had this Ipad Air since March 2014 and always kept it updated and charged, but since three days ago it does not seems to like its own charging cable and plug that came with it. I tried different outlets and other cords and plugs. I closed and restarted it, but no result. Now it is off because of no battery power. What can it be?

    Try the following:
    Option 1
    1. Settings>Airplane Mode>ON
    2. Turn the iPad OFF
    3. Leave unit off for about 20 seconds. 
    4. Turn the iPad back on and it should now show "charging"
    5. Turn Aeroplane Mode OFF
    Option 2
    Reset iPad and when the apple logo shows up, plug in the charger.

  • IPhone 4S screen auto lock not working with Music Playback, while connected to the Computer via USB

    Hello Everyone,
    I have an iPhone 4S, updated to the latest version of iOS (7.1). Recently, I noticed that my iPhone's screen doesn't autolock automatically whenever it's connected via the sync cable to my Laptop Computer (A Dell Studio running Windows 8.1 Pro). This happens regardless of whether iTunes is running or not. Whenever the music playback is on, the screen just gets dimmed after a while (as it always does before the screen auto-lock triggers), and stays like that. However, when I stop music playback, the auto-lock work just fine.
    I want to know, is this normal? I mean, is this the way it's supposed to be?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Rajat S.

    ALSO, iTunes has been updated to iOS 12.0.1.
