The iPad Mini does not charge using a laptop

My brand new iPad Mini does not charge using my macbook pro, but it does when is connected to de ac power wall adapter !!!

That is the way is is supposed to work. Your MBP does not supply enough power to charge the battery efficiently. It may be charging, but at a trickle rate and it will show as not charging. That is why a power adapter is included with the iPad. Use it.

My new iPad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. Any suggestions?

my new ipad mini will not charge when plugged into adapter. What should I try?

Does the charger get warm at all? Plug the cable into your computer with iTunes open. Does it say not charging.? If it does, the cable is good. The iPad will charge very slowly when pluged into your computer.
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W 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%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

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.

Ipad mini will not charge or turn on

ipad mini will not charge or turn on, I have tried rebooting and also charging from wall. Apple icon doesn't appear even if I leave plugged in for an hour

Well my problem is now solved, both devices are bricked, Apple Store replaced both devices today, After talking with my daughter had the iPad mini was charging and it updated iOS8.1.3 and then bricked, tried all the things you suggested with both devices. Yes, I agree about not letting my devices die, this was the first time my phone had died in 5 months but I firmly believe iOS 8.1.3 was the cause of both devices demise. Apple checked both devices and promptly replaced both in about 30 minutes. I hope this is not the way Apple is planning on continuing with software updates. I have 10 apple devices and have been a strong supporter of their company, but these kind of half done updates are the reason I removed all Microsoft products from our household 7 years ago!

My iPad mini screen is fuzzy down one side

My iPad mini screen is fuzzy down one side.
Can anybody please advise on a fix
Many thanks

If there is no evidence of abuse, these are the charges. If there is evidence of abuse, Apple will return your damaged unit to you.

HT1414 my ipad mini will not charge from wall socket and it will not show itself on i tunes via my pc... i have also substituted my power charger from my i-phone to no avail.

my daughter's i-pad mini will not charge up from the wall socket and it will not show itself on i-tunes via my pc... i substituted the power charger from my i-phone to no avail with the wall socket... seems like i read that the earlier i-pads have some problems with the lightning socket but can not remember exactly...there is no apple retail shop in the small city where i live but would travel to one if the fix is relatively quick or easy...otherwise, what can i do for diagnosis and repair?

Most likely your cable is bad and you need to get a replacement.

TS3274 Ipad mini will not charge??

My two daughters each got a IPAD mini for their birthdays (May 2013) - both within one day have stopped charging...... any suggestions gladly welcomed

Hi there,
You may want to take a look at some of the troubleshooting steps found in the article below. Note: While the aricle is geared towards the iPhone, the troubleshooting steps are applicable for this situtation.

Ipad mini is not charging anymore, what is wrong with it?

i tried plugging in my ipad mini, and it doesn't charge anymore, i tried plugging it in the wall i got nothing and also my computer. Could there be something wrong with the cord?

Most computer USB ports do not prove enough power to charge your iPad efficiently so don't bother with that.
Use the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. If the iPad does not charge the problem lies in one of these areas:
1. The outlet is not supplying power
2. The cord is not plugged in correctly at one or both ends.
3. The cord is defective. You might try a friends cord to see if that makes a difference.
4. The charger is defective. Try borrowing one from a friend to test that.
5. The plug on your iPad has dirt or debris in it.
6. There is a hardware failure in your iPad.
For any of these items you cannot test yourself I suggest making an appointment at an Apple store to have your iPad, cable and charger looked at.

My iPad mini does not charge when I plug it in.

I have had my ipad mini for about six months. A few days ago I plugged it into the wall and it did not start charging. The "not charging" symbol at the top of the screen doesn't show up either. I tried plugging it into different outlets and using a different USB cable but nothing works. is there any way to fix this.

I dropped my ipad on the ground and now it charges. Not sure what happened.

IPad mini is not charging, displays only blank screen

Hello!
My mom's month-old iPad mini suddenly refused to charge. She charged it last night when the battery display claimed that the batter was down to 5%. She checked her iPad a few hours after she plugged it in for charging, and claimed that it was still working. She left it charing while she was asleep, but when she woke up this morning, the screen was blank. I tried pressing (and holding) the power button, charging it in different sockets around the house, charging it via my MBP.. and so far, no change.
When the iPad mini was handed to me this morning, it was already blank. All I've got is really a second-hand account of what happened, so I can't offer any more detail than that. I'd appreciate it if anyone can offer some insight on what happened, or suggestions on what to do.
And before I forget, we reside outside of the US, and it is difficult to have the unit shipped back to the US so that the guys at the Apple stores can look at it.

My iPad mini will not charge, only had it a week

My iPad stopped charging. Tried several outlets, computer, laptop and turned the devise off and on, still will not charge. The iPad was just purchsed ast week.

1. Try a reset
2. Clean docking port with clean paint brush
3. Try another wall socket
4. Try another cable
5. Try another charger

My ipad mini will not charge from my lap top, it will sync.

I can charge from a wall outlet. When I plug into my laptop, (upper right) states battery not charging. Plug into a wall outlet works fine.

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 an iPad.

Why my ipad mini is not working the left side multi touchscreen?

Dear apple team, how can i fix this problem? Is this a software problem or hardware factory defect?

You aren't addressing Apple here, just volunteer users like yourself. Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

HT4061 my ipad mini is not chargining

do I have a bad cable or dead battery? My ipad mini is not charging.

First, let's confirm that it's really not charging. 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.
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.

My iPhone 5c and iPad mini won't charge. Can both charger ports be broken at the same time?

MMy iPhone 5c is dead and wont charge. My iPad mini also won't charge. So I thought it was my charge wire or charging block might be the proble. I've used other wores and other blocks and also plugged it into by laptop and neither are charging. So it would see that the charging port is broken on both. But it seems odd that both would break on the same day. Both are under a year old and I only ever use official Apple charging devises. Help!

Good day Hollixd,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone 5c and iPad mini are not charging. It does seem odd that both devices are not charging from multiple chargers.
There are a few more steps that may help you charge your devices. Next, I'd try steps 1, 2, 4 and 5 from the article If you can’t charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
If the battery doesn’t charge, unplug your device and try these steps:
Look at the connector at the bottom of your device and make sure it’s free of debris.
If you're using a USB power adapter, make sure it's plugged in all the way and the power outlet is working. If you're connecting to a computer, make sure it's on and can charge your device. To charge an iPad, you might need to use a USB power adapter and plug into a power outlet.
Try a different USB cable, USB power adapter, or USB port.
If everything seems to be working, reconnect your device and wait for 30 minutes.
If your device still doesn’t charge, try to restart it while it's connected to power. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If your devices still don't charge after trying all of these steps, the article suggests contacting Apple Support:
If your device still doesn't charge or you still see an alert after trying the steps above, contact Apple Support.
Sincerely,
Jeremy
