My iPad says it not charging when it's plugged in

When i plug my ipad in it says (not charging) next to the battery symbol

Hi,
USB cables are not sufficient enough for an iPad. You need to use wall power.

WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD??

WHY DOES IT SAY BATTERY NOT CHARGING WHEN I TRY TO CHARGE MY IPAD ???

How are you trying to charge it, via a computer or the wall plug ? If a computer, then 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.
If the wall charger then 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.
If that doesn't work then have you tried a different charger and/or cable ? Do you know anybody else with an iPad so that you can try their charger and cable and they can try yours ?
And for info typing in capitals is considered SHOUTING.

It says not charging when it is plugged into my mac desktop

My Ipad 2 says not charging when it is plugged into my computer and it does not show up on the side bar in the itunes app.

It is possible that the USB port is not working properly as well. This support article might be of help.

Sometimes all it takes is a restart - quit iTunes, restart your Mac and restart your iPad and see if that helps at all.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

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%.

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.

My ipad 3 is not charging when plugged to pc

my ipad 3 is not charging when plugged to pc, and it wouldn't sync in itunes as well, it's been like this since I first got it. it does charge when it's plugged into a wall with a 10W power adapter

From here :
The fastest 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.
For syncing, is iTunes on your computer the latest version ? There is some troubleshooting on this page.

You only have the option if you are already running iOS 5. If you are trying to update the iOS, you have to use iTunes on a computer to update the iPad.
There are some important things that you should know before you update and you can read bout those here.

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.)
And this - Unplug the charger from the iPad and then replug. May resume charging.
Or - Recalibrate the battery. See link below.

Macbook Air (2012) says "Not Charging" when magsafe2 first plugged in but then starts charging after a few seconds. Is that normal?

Hi guys,
I just purchased my first Apple notebook, the Macbook Air 13", last week and needless to say its a wonderful machine. However I've noticed that when I plug in the magsafe2 plug to charge the Air, the text next to battery icon says "Not Charging" for a few seconds (ranges from 1 to 3 seconds) before it disappears and the battery starts charging (the thunderbolt sign comes on). Seeing as this is my first Apple notebook I am unsure as to whether or not this behaviour is normal. I've searched the forums but have only been able to find one other case (w/o a solution).
Thanks,
Dave

Hey Guys,
Thanks for the info so far but now the time until it starts charging has increased to around 9 - 11 seconds, is this still normal?
Thanks,

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.

HT1476 Why will my iPhone 4S not charge when it is plugged in?

I have plugged my iPhone 4S into a computer and it will not charge, even though the computer recognizes the phone as an external device.
What should I do?

What happens when you plug the phone to the wall outlet using the same usb cord?

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.

Why does my mac say it's not charging when it is plugged into the wall and has a green light?

It is also not fully charged, its on 20%

My iPhone 4 will not charge when it's plugged in. could the socket in the phone be damaged?

I ran my ipod all night and ran the battery dead, when I plugged it in the phone never beeped that it was charging and the indicator showed it needed a charge. Now it's totally dead and won't take a charge at all???
Could I have damaged the plug in socket on the phone? I've tried 3 different cords, and my 12v plug my 110v plug and plugging it into my computer. I got nothing???
Can it be taken a part and cleeaned? where the cord plugs into the phone?

Plug it into a wall outlet and leave it along for 15-20 minutes.
If it doesn't start charging after that, take it to Apple.

HT5172 iPad Air will not charge on my computer

iPad Air will not charge when I plug it into the USB port . Operating system vista.

That's normal. Most USB ports don't put out enough power to meet the iPad's requirements. It may say not charging although it is getting a trickle charge.
Your iPad is best charged with its supplied power brick plugged into the wall.
