Power loss on the first addition of iPad.

I'm having problems with my iPad when it needs to be recharged. When I initially plug it in to recharge it, it will not charge up and I have to reboot it. What's going on as it only seems to have gone wrong since Apple stopped allowing first addition users to update to the new version of ios 6.0.1? Can someone from Apple tell why this is happening to my iPad. I am a big supporter of Apple and feel I am being ripped off and left behind because I cannot afford to upgrade to their new version of iPad. Why do I need to keep rebooting my iPad when the power won't recharge?

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%.
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.

In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

Is it possible to connect a video camera for skype on the first version of ipad?

I am trying to use Skype with a newer version of the iPad to the first version of the iPad which apparently does not have a camera. Is there any way to connect a camera to it so this can be done? Thanks!

No, I'm not aware of any webcams that are compatible with the first gen iPad. You can still use Skype, but the person with the first gen iPad won't be seen by the other person, they'll just get audio

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.

I have the first versiOn of iPad. I cannot seem to get upgraded to newer ios. Certain apps require this, now. Is apple going to shank its veterans and not support us anymore?

Help

Many Apps now have legacy versions available for older OSes.

You may need to download the newest version to a compatible device or a computer running itunes so it gets registered to the Apple Id and can be downloaded then form the Purchased tab in the App Store App.

Is it possible to use the firewire power adapter for ipod to charge an Ipad

There is information everywhere that the Ipad doesn't charge with low power adapters.
The first power adapter I received with my first Ipod was the firewire power adapter and it allows intensities even higher than the 10 W Ipad adapter.
Could this old adapter be used with Ipad
Model n. A1070 output 12V 6.7 A if I believe what is written on it.

You should only use a USB-type charger for the ipad. Any other charger is risking damage to the ipad.
The ipad uses 5Volts at 2 amps for best charging. This is why it came with the wall charger.
You can charge it with any 5 Volt USB charger as long as the output amps is approximately 1 amp or more. If the amps rating on the charger is less than 2 amps, it will charge slower, but it is safe. The ipad will only draw the current it requires, but any voltage higher than 5 volts is risking damage to the ipad.
Hope this helps.

FPGA Reset during power loss? NI 9802 Module

We have recently started using the NI 9802 on a cRIO system. We are getting the error -65550 discussed here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/BD118434E87B9732862575C8006FD7FB
The article says that the error can be caused by the FPGA resetting while the drive was mounted. "To prevent this error from happening in the future, do not reset the
FPGA while you have an SD card mounted, reset before you mount the card
or after the card is unmounted." Does a power loss reset the FPGA and require you to reformat the card??? We plan to use this as a remote system and power failure is possible. We would not be able to travel hundreds of miles back to the device to reformat an SD card in the event of a power loss. This can't be right. How could they sell a module that worked like that?
Also, does the card need to be formatted with FAT32 or FAT16?
[will work for kudos]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would like to submit a suggestion for the next version of this module. It would be awesome if in the rare but possible case of the crio losing power that the card did not become corrupt and you would then not need to travel all the way to the device and pull the SD cards out and reformat them with a pc before your system could be come operational. Like the ability to reformat at run-time would be a decent fail safe function. Even though you would lose all the data you had recorded onto the SD Card, wasting time and money, at least the entire system would not be fatally crippled by a simple loss of power and unexpected device reboot.
As it stands, even with a quality power backup battery as you have suggested, the simple possibility that you could lose power and need to manually perform a format on the SD card makes this module inferior to simply plugging in a big USB drive, both in terms of reliability and storage space. The appeal to this module, even though it could only hold two 2 gig SD cards, was its apparent ruggedness and reliability over using a usb drive.
Respectfully waiting for a new version of this module,
Rex

WRT160N V3 - Power loss issue

Hi friends.
I have a problem with my WRT160N - V3.
Everytime I have a full power loss at my home, the router only starts again if i unplug and plug the power cable.
Is there some resolution for this?
Thanks anyway.
PS: Sorry for my bad English....

Hi Matt. If I get it right, what I have to do now to always power on automated is:
unplug the power adapter from power source
unplug the power adapter from router
plug the power adapter to power source
plug the power adapter to router
If I have a total power loss, will the router start automatic?
Thanks!

KMWM Combo-L Power Loss Problem

I'm a custom built pc supplier. I install 30+ computers in a new company. This past weekend they lost power to the office. All 30+ computers were beeping with a blank screen. I turned off the pcs with the power button, but then they wouldn't turn back on. I thought they were all shot. To get them to come back on I removed the power cord from the back of the pcs and waited about 1 minute. After that I plugged them back in and they powered up normally. Has anyone else seen this problem with this motherboard? I can't have customers calling me everytime they loose power to the computers saying that thier pcs are bad.
The computers are
Windows xp
20 gig WD HDD
Enlight 300w cases
xp2000+ cpu

Couldn't find anything obvious on MS-site about the problem. But does below apply, if you have a computer store?
If not, it has to be motherboard and BIOS related, like returning to last good state or something. Have you noticed any BIOS changes?
"Uninterruptible Power Supply
The Uninterruptible Power Supply system service manages an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) connected to your computer by a serial port.
If the Uninterruptible Power Supply service is stopped or disabled, communications with the UPS will be lost. In the event of power loss on the AC line, the UPS will be unable to pilot the computer to shutdown as the UPS battery discharges towards a critically low state. This could potentially result in loss of data."

No wifi after power loss

well, i just bought an E4200 and, by the way, was very hard to configurate.
But the real problem is: if there is a power loss, both modem and e4200 lights up, but no internet connection is provided.
Even the SSID desappear. I trried to disconnected everything, reconnect by parts, but no success.
I wired connect the E4200 to my iMac and the router was ok, configurated.
Then, i reconnect to the modem and all worked ok.
Now im testing possibilities and is i reboot the router, the net desappear and i have to try possibilities till it works.
My older router connected automatically, without a problem, but i decide to buy "the best" brand and its top product". Now im disappointed..
Twice i realize that if the connections drops out, i have to disconnect and reconnect the internet cable from my E4200...
Can anyone help me?
Im really crazy about that, caus im not a dummie at this things

Try to use a surge protector or a ups in that way if there's a power loss then the router or the modem will not automatically shuts down. For the stability of the router's internet connection try to check if the router's firmware has been updated if not update the formware, reset,power cycle and reconfigure the router's settings.

Emac won't power up after power loss

had a power loss and the emac naturally shut down. When power was restored, emac would not power up at all. I know about the need to unplug unit and did so overnight, but after sitting unplugged for 8 hours it still will not power up. Any thoughts?

I made what I consider the dumbest of all mistakes in that I did not "correctly" follow instructions. I knew that I needed to unplug the unit to let it "reset", but I failed to completely disconnect all the components. The unit was obviously getting some trickle from the battery in the router that also controls my phone. The lesson here is that when you disconnect the power to let it reset, be sure that it is completely disconnected. Lesson Learned! Thanks for the help.

My ipad will no longer connect to the laptop. it comes up with usb not recognized. also when trying to connect to the power the first time i connect, nothing, but when i unplug from ipad and plug in a second time it charges

my ipad will no longer connect to the laptop. it comes up with usb not recognized. also when trying to connect to the power the first time i connect, nothing, but when i unplug from ipad and plug in a second time it charges

yeah tried all that. the only thing that i havent tried is to delete itunes completely and restart. its the same with the ipad. i havent done a master reset. i just think it has to be something rather simple as it acknowledges that i have plugged in the ipad as it makes the noise it just come up usb not recognized. it shows up as an unknown device that doestn have any drivers
its driving me round the bend at the minute

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
