Overheating, charging new ipad

Could the overheating and terribly-long charging of new ipad (and the apparent non-pervasiveness among new owners) be related to different screen manufacturers (i.e., samsung, sharp, LG...)?

Decided to get an icepad:  http://thermapak.com/products.html/

  • Tips for charging new ipad

    Really disappointed in the amount of time required to charge new Ipad.   Anyone come up with a plan b on this topic?

    The quickest way (and really the only 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 (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (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.

  • Charge new ipad on macbook pro (mid 2010)

    I have a Macbook Pro MID 2010. When I connect my new ipad using MAC OS X Lion it charges normally, but when I connect it on my Windows 7, it doesn’t.
    does any of you guys know how to make it work?

    Newer mac books have USB ports that provide sufficient wattage to charge an iPad.  Very few windows laptops have high powered USB ports so they can only trickle charge an iPad when they can easily charge an iPhone. 
    It is because the iPad, as has been mentioned, needs to pull 10 watts through the charging system to do a normal charge.  This is why the iPad comes with a dedicated 10 wall charger and not the standard 2.5 watt wall charger that comes with the iPhone and iPod.
    If you need to buy an extra wall charger for your iPad for when you are on the road or to keep at work make sure it is truly iPad compatible.  I found a really nice two port charger that provides high (10 watts) capacity on one port and low (2.5 watts) on the other.  So I can charge both my iPhone and iPad at the same time without damaging my devices or the charger.

  • HDMI Adapter no longer charges new iPad ?

    I bought a shiny new iPad 3rd Gen, and am having difficulties with my existing Apple HDMI Adapter, which, apart from the "This accessory is not supported" popup, will not charge the device even when being plugged to an iPad Power Adapter. Have any of you guys encountered this problem ? Any sollutions ?
    Thanks,
    Darie

    I don't have an iPad-3 but this makes no sense.  It's just a matter of wires routing to the iPad.  Perhaps you might clean the connectors by disconnecting/connecting several times.

  • Charge new iPad with iPod USB adapter 5V 1amp?

    Is there any problem to charge my new iPad with a USB iPod wall adapter with an output of 5V 1amp? And is it okay to do it daily? Will it affect in any way the battery?

    The quickest way (and really the only 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 (5W).

  • Not charging new iPad

    I plug charger in but won't charge. However, when I plug into computer or other devices the devices recognize the iPad, just won't charge.

  • Charging 'new' iPad

    Should we use a surge protector type power strip to charge our 'new' iPad?  We have a 90yr old home with old wiring in our bedroom, but it is grounded properly. 

    Surge protectors, if they're good ones rather than the $10 "hardware store specials", are always recommended as a precaution. Grounding does not protect against power surges from appliances or other devices that can draw a lot of startup current.
    Regards.

  • How do I charge new iPad in car

    Obviously the new iPad uses a 10w mains charger. I have found loads of car chargers but none that say they will charge the iPad 3rd Gen via 12v socket. Griffin has one that claims it will but in Apple store it stated its not compatible. I can't find anywhere even in Apple site where I can get one. So from hands on experience who can recommend a car charger that works.

    Hi thanks for reply. Can u let me know the exact Griffin model and is your iPad definitely 3rd Generation.

  • HELP!!! Taking forever to charge new Ipad ***?

    I have been charging my new I-pad for 4 hrs from a dead battery out of box. I look at the battery charge icon and it's still empty. Also shouldn't I be a able to use it while it's charging?!? Help meeeeeeeee

    I have it plugged into the wall charger and yes I have it off, but it dawned on me to do that about 2 hrs ago.

  • Overheating on new ipad?

    My ipad was charged to almost 45%. But just after i removed my Ipad from bag the temperature of the ipad was as rise as never before and battery drained to 10% just after it.

    Make sure no processes are running on your iPad. Turn off background app refresh. If you feel that the iPad is getting too warm I suggest you have an Apple technician take a look at it.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • My iPad 3 is not charging on my macbook pro mid-2012. It was working yesterday and it is not working now, and I'm trying to transfer files between them. How do I charge my iPad with my macbook without having to be a completely new computer?

    I am trying to transfer files between my ipad 3 and my macbook pro mid-2012 and they will just not connect. I connected them yesterday and it worked fine. And i can not air drop these files into my ipad it has to be done through itunes. And i can not afford to buy a new computer. How do i get these two to connect without having to buy a completely new computer?

    Computer USB ports, regardless of the computer maker, have a relatively low power output and thus are not good chargers. They will charge but it takes a long time. You should be charging your iPad from wall power, or a more powerful source like an in-car charger.
    Buying another computer will not change that.

  • Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

    I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
    I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged. 
    I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
    The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
    If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

    Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
    Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
    Thanks again!

  • The new iPad first battery charge issue

    I just got the new iPad, I waited for the battery to die and the I let it charge for 14 hours and it only charged from 2% to 37%, then I changed the power cord and the outlet and it took it 5 hours from 37% to 100%. Is this normal? 19 hours from 2% to 100%, seriously? I know that iPads take a long time to fully charge the battery, but I think this is unusual. Thanks already for the answers...

    You're welcome.  All the USB cords are the same, so it doesn't matter which USB cable your use.  The difference is in the Charger the USB cable is connected to.
    I don't know if you know this, but the User Guide is conveniently bookmarked in Safari on your iPad.  It might help you to read it and I'll bet you'll learn things about your iPad you didn't know.  Plus, if you ever get into trouble, you can refer to the guide for assistance.
    Take care......
