My iPad2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet.

My iPad 2 won't charge when plugged into an outlet. I've tried 12W and 10W original Apple iPad chargers as well as iPhone 4 chargers. It charges (very slowly) when I plug it into my laptop but I've tried every outlet in my house and at work with no success. So I am stumped as to why it won't work in two completely different locations when plugged into the outlet - because it's obviously not the charger, cable or the iPad batter.
I've tried blowing out dust from the port, resetting my iPad (holding down the home and power buttons at the same time) and jiggling the cable.
Note: I am still on iOS 6 so upgrading my OS isn't the issue.
I would appreciate any assistance with this as it's very frustrating!

If it will charge when connected to the computer, but very slowly, typical of a low power USB port, but will not charge with the chargers you have tried, the issue is then most likely with the chargers.  However, to be sure, take the iPad and charger and cable to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians test them to see where the problem is occuring.

    It sounds very very much like the battery. You will need to have it replaced. If you put the failing one in yourself you will need to pay as your Warranty is now void.

  • IPhone 5 won't charge when plugged into lightning connector one way but if it flips then it works

    My iPhone 5 won't charge when it's plugged into the lightning connector one way but if I flip it then it works. It's not my charger because it's the same way with other chargers. What's wrong with my phone?

    Yes I've tried multiple ones and none work. My boyfriend's iPhone 5 and my brother's all work either way the charger is turned.

  • IPad 2 won't charge when plugged into the wall or computer. Please Help!

    Hi, I'm really hoping someone can help me??
    My other half took my iPad 2 to Ireland (and took the official Apple wall charger). One night when he was charging the iPad it came up with the message 'this accessory is not compatible with this device'  but he left it as he knew it was the correct charger and had the lightning bolt over the battery meter. Plus we have other Apple devices (iPhones, iPod Touch and iPod video and nano) that have displayed this message before and been okay.
    Since he has been back, whenever the iPad is plugged into charge, either via wall mains or via USB on my laptop it won't charge. It doesn't even recognise that it is plugged in (no lightning bolt over the battery meter, no noise or vibration to show that it has been plugged in).
    I've spoke to Apple Support today and found that it is 36 days out of warranty and will cost me over £210 to repair . The operator did suggest that I back up the iPad and then restore it to its factory settings but when I plug it in to my laptop with iTunes on it does not recognise it is there! So how can I do this?
    Please can someone help? I've tried googling all sorts of resolutions but none work, you guys are my last hope as I cannot afford to repair it!
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Leanne

    So, today I was able to connect my ipad to the computer and completely restore to factory settings, first I backed it up to icloud, then through itunes I was able to erase my ipad2 completely then disconnect from the computer and through icloud, restore my system. It worked... the first time I restored my ipad I didn't do it through itunes so the system didn't get erased, so you have to go through itunes.
    back up your ipad on icloud first...
    connect ipad.. do not sync.
    click on ipad icon in your itunes program.
    go to summary
    version
    restore
    once restored disconnect and get your back up from icloud,.
    worked for me!!

  • HT4060 My iPad 3(newest) doesn't charge when plugged into either outlets or the computer

    My new iPad won't charge properly.  It seems to taking Barry long time just to gain 1%

    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.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 just moved to the UK and am trying to charge my computer yet it won't charge when plugged into the adapter, what am I doing wrong? I'm almost out of battery!!

    I just moved to the UK the US. I have a 2009 Macbook Pro and today attempted to charge it, with an adapter for the plug.  BUT I can't get the computer to charge, what am I doing wrong? I am almost out of battery! Help!

    To be on the safe side, get the travel pack for the magsafe; the UK 3-pin adapter replaces your 2-pin US adapter on the transformer.
    Meanwhile, check that the adapter you're using is compatible with the US 2-pin; most adapters sold in UK are for French and German 2-pin plugs, which are slightly differently spaced, so you may not be getting a proper connection.

    There is a hardware problem.  Whether it's worth it to you to have no working phone for 2 months until you can update vs paying for replacement/repair now is a question only you can answer.

  • Iphone 3g not recognized by computer(s). Windows 7. Charges when plugged into wall, but not PC's. Also not listen in Device Manager. I have hard reset/soft. reinstalled itunes after clean wipe. went through services... help! Windows 7

    Hello all. My system is Windows 7 64bit. In the past my phone worked just fine, plug it into a usb slot, synced up, updated... but for months now it has not worked. Other Iphones will not work on this PC either with their corresponding cables. But my Iphone will also not work when plugged into other computers.. it will not show up at all.. no charge.. no itunes... no drivers show up in Device Manager. My phone works just fine when plugged into the wall with it's cable.. charges fine everything works.. but it will not charge when plugged into a computer.
    So far... I have uninstalled everything related to apple... ran ccleaner.. fixed registry errors. Reboot PC, reinstall all itunes and apple components (all latest software) and nothing.
    I have gonet o services and stopped and started apple mobile device. It is set to automatic.
    I have hard reset the phone and soft reset it.
    The cable obviously works. The Phone works when plugged into the wall.
    Other Iphones will not work on my pc, nor will my iphone work on theirs
    I have disabled windows firewall along with my Comodo Defense Plus and it's firewall. I have disabled my AV. I have scanned with ad aware plus, Avast, ran hijack this and fixed registry errors. Ran Ccleaner.
    My device manager does not have anything related to apple in it.. I have no idea why. My Device Manager has no portable devices detected at all and does not recognize anything related to the phone.
    Core 2 duo 6600
    2gigs of ram
    Windows 7 64 bit
    I have checked all the tech support stuff I can find. I am desperate. Apple will not help me on the phone without charging me 30$.

    Also.... my phone works and can do everything fine when not plugged in.. I just can't get my computer or others to recognize the darn thing when plugged in!

  • My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds- Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but the most up-to-date version

    My iPad won't charge after plugging into my computer and after holding down the power and home button at same time for 10 seconds… Can anybody help? Has IOS7.0 but not the most up-to-date version

    It's just the battery sign - nothing else. I've tried to reboot by holding down both power and home key for 10+ seconds, waiting for the apple logo - but nothing happens. It's plugged into the imac at the moment. I tried to recharge it overnight using the normal charger - but no luck. It went dead during a Skype call with a friend - even though it was powered into the mains - albeit at a low battery level at the time
