My ipad says it isn't charging while connected to my computer. What's wrong?

For some reason my ipad doesn't charge while connected to any of my computers. It isn't the cord because it charges through the wall by itself as well as on my keyboard dock. Any ideas?

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.

  • 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.

    iPad makes beeping sounds when charging while connected to mac

    First off, I suggest using the charger that came with the iPad and plug that into a good wall outlet. USB ports often do not supply enough power for efficient charging on an iPad.

    It's no different from the iPad 1 in  that regard.  When connected to a computer via USB it should charge when sleeping only.   Hit the sleep button and leave it for a while to see if that works.   It's much slower charging that way than using the actual charger.
    Not all USB's are powered, or powered enough, so what the previous poster said could also be the case.

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

    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.

    Your signature say iOS4.3.1.
    If you have a 3G, you cannot be running 4.3.1
    iOS4.3.x and higher requires a 3GS. 
    While this has no bearing on your current issue... it could cause confusion if you need assistance in the future with other iOS related issues.
    Make sure you know which device you have.  Identify iPhone models.

  • I updated my itunes for my ipad while connected to my computer.  now my ipad shows only the itunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  it is frozen and nothing works, HELP!

    I updated my itunes for my Ipad while connected to my computer.  Now my ipad is frozen on an iTunes logo, an arrow, and a usb cord.  Nothing seems to fix it.  What can I do.  All my business calander, etc is stored on my Ipad.  HELP!

    I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills.  It's easy, quick and harmless:
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
    A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.

  • Plz help! my ipod no longer gets charged when connected to my computer

    as the topic suggests, my ipod with video(5.5G) always shows that its fully charged when connected to my computer. but it wasn't like this a period of time ago, i wonder why. plz help me. i now dare not to transport more than 1g files to my ipod in case it would run out of battery and sth worse may follow...
    since my computer is old with a celeronA 533(overclocked to 760, not a big difference), i closed lots of the system services which i think are useless, maybe that's the problem? but which service should i start? ipodservice.exe is always running when i connect my ipod with my pc
    btw, i must say sorry with my poor english, hope you understand what i mean

    If you mean that when plugged in it shows the iPod being fully charged but when you disconnect the battery is actually dead, then you probably have a defective battery.

  • HT1719 my ipod shuffle 4th generation will not charge or connect to the computer, I updated iTunes and I got a new charger.

    My iPod Shuffle will not charge or connect to the computer. I updated iTunes and bought a new charger. Any ideas? Thanks

    My question was, when you connect the shuffle to USB, does the light come ON?  From the way you answered, I'm not sure if you are answering that question, or saying that the light does not come ON when you move the power switch on the shuffle to the ON position.
    Also, what happens when you connect the shuffle to your computer by itself, with nothing else connected to USB?
    If you get no response (no light) from the shuffle when you connect it to USB by itself, trying both the original USB cable and a new one that is compatible with the 4th gen shuffle, try connecting something else to the USB port to confirm it is working properly.  It would be best to test the USB port with something similar, such as a USB flash drive or external drive.  If you can confirm the USB port works properly, it is likely that the cause for this problem is on the shuffle, such as a faulty headphones jack or bad logic board.
    If the shuffle is less than one year from purchase date, it is under warranty.

  • My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this?

    My iPod is dead and won't charge or connect to the computer. How can I fix this? Before it died, it said I had a full battery whenever I charged it, but as soon as it came off of the charger, the battery level was always under ten per cent.

    Sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.

  • My iPod says it's disabled and to connect to itunes. now what

    my iPod says it's disabled and to connect to itunes. now what?

    Connect in recovery mode to restore, explained in this article: iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • Problem with nano while connected to the computer

    Last night at about ten thirty I connected my iPod to iTunes and it said htat there was a software update availible. I updated the software, and a little box popped up saying that the iPod would show up in the iTunes menu when it was finished restarting. That was last night. It has been almost fourteen hours and my iPod is still not in the iTunes menu. I CAn't disconnect from the computer, because that little do not disconnect message is flashing and I don't want to break my iPod. HELP!

    You could try resetting your iPod (while connected to your computer).
    To reset:
    First, toggle your iPod's "Hold" switch back and forth a couple of times (make sure to leave it on the white side).
    Now, begin to press and hold the Menu and Select (center) buttons on your iPod together for 5-10 seconds.
    You might need to try this several times. Also, after each time you reset your iPod, it might take up to a minute before iTunes recognizes it in the Source List.
