Trying to charge my Ipad but it says "not charging"

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.

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.

    I'm trying to update my iPad but it says I don't have enough available storage. But I have more than enough can anyone tell me what the problem is?

    Well, we can't as we don't know what you consider as "more than enough". The built is quite heavy (like it can be 800mb) then it needs to be extracted to be installed before everything unneeded gets deleted...

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

    Is that the exact text of the message? I've searched our application messages and I'm fairly sure we don't present that message in our application. Can you please take a screen capture by pushing the home button and the power switch on the iPad. This will place the screen capture in your photo album.

    Your iCloud Stoage is not the same as available Space on your Device.
    NOTE :Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iDevice.

  • Charger plugged in but battery is not charging but windows says it is charging.

    I have an HDX X18T-1100 CTO Premium Notebook 64bit with Vista Ultimate...I thought my battery was bad because when charger is plugged in the icon in system tray says" plugged in, charging" but it's not charging so I bought a new battery.  Same problem so I replaced the AC/DC plug in the computer....still the same problem... says batter at 7% (plugged in, charging) but it's not charging.  

    Hi,
    This could well be a Hardware problem with the charging circuitry, but it may be worth trying the following.
    First of all, shutdown the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter, remove the battery, and then hold down the Power button for a full minute.
    Now, plug in the AC Adapter without the battery inserted, start the notebook, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager, expand the entry for Batteries, right click on and the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery and select Uninstall - do not uninstall anything else here.  When the uninstall is complete, shut the PC down, unplug the AC Adapter, re-insert the battery, plug in the AC Adapter and start the notebook.  Windows will reinstall the missing driver soon after logon.  Leave it to idle for a few minutes, then restart again to see if this has helped the issue at all.
    Regards,
    DP-K

    Tip - You may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

  • Macbook says not charging, but is plugged in

    I just picked up my MacBook from its repait at the Apple store. They replaced the bottom and middle aluminium pieces.
    Right when I get home I plugged my computer in and it says that is not charging. The cable is plugged in but it says not charging. I have tried it with another charger and it also says the same thing so I know it is a problem with the computer.
    I have tried resetting the PRAM and the SMC and still nothing works. My software is up to date. Is there anything else I can do to try to fix this before I have to take a trip to the Apple Store?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Keep it connected to the main and see what happens.
    Resetting SMC was the right thing to do.
    If it still remains at "not charging" you will have to take another trip to the Apple store.
    Best.

    My IPad 2 keeps saying not charging when plugged in any outlet

    On the off chance try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!
