TS2634 ipad mini charging problem

I have bought a new ipad mini at the Singapore Airport duty free Apple Shop outlet in mid Feb 2013.  I usually charge the ipad mini once the battery is exhausted.
now i have faced the problem of charging this ipad mini as it was almost 8 hours, the battery still under charging. Pleas advice.

Some mini users have reported that the charging stops between 85-90%. If this happens, unplug the charger and then replug. It should resume charging to 100%.
FYI
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.

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.

  • Ipad mini charger problems.

    Got iPad mini from Orange and on the first charge the unit only charged to 88%. The charger has no charred marks but I could smell a sooty smell. Orange replaced the whole unit and charger. After a few charges the same thing happened again, charged the iPad to 88% the charger is dead. Anyone had the same problem or offer any advise?

    This is the answer to your question I have an iPad mini which has a charger the charger broke after 3 months of use. The smaller chargers have been made to be more efficanct but in the long term don't last as long. I have one now , this is my 3rd charger. This one is starting to break I've had it for a week. To fix your charger you can twist the top of the charger until it starts to charge. If this does not work, I would recommend going to the apple store. Sometimes they give you a new charger, if it has no cut in half and is looking okay, hope this helped

  • Ipad Mini Charge Problem

    Team,
    My Ipad Mini always stop at 92% in everytime of charging. Then it will only go for 100% when I switch off and on the device. Is it software problem?
    Appreciate your kindly advice.
    Thanks,
    Irene

    There have been other mini users reporting this problem. Don't know if it's software or hardware. You can also disconnect the charger and then reconnect to go to 100%.

  • IPAD MINI CHARGING PROBLEM .....

    my ipad mini always stop charging ..... sometimes from 10 to 48 % and not charging anymore ... sometimes from 30 to 83 % and 5 % then sleep , after 7 hours they stop charging at 60 % ....
    is there a software bug , hardware bug or it is ipad mini problem ?  because i heard more than 3 of 4 my friends using this ipad mini occur same problem ... please fix it or change the new one ... thanks .....
    I BUY APPLE NOT SAMSUNG PLEASE GIVE ME WHAT SHOULD I GET ... thanks ....

    This is an iPad user to user forum. Apple doesn't read or respond.
    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.
    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).

  • TS2634 ipad 3 charging problem?

    I have a ipad 3 that has a charging problem as of late. It will not  charge while it is on. I first have to turn my ipad off and then plug it  in and then the ipad will turn itself back on and will charge. Thats  the only way i can get it to charge.It wont connect to my pc anymore to  connect to iTunes.  When I connect it to my pc I get a USB not recognize  by this device or some USB error. I tried the same thing by turning the  ipad off first and connecting it to the pc. It just turn on and I  receive the same message on my pc. What should I do? I'm thinking I may  need another USB cable but I'm not sure yet. Please help!

    IF the reset doesn't help, try swapping out the cable.
    Also, your ipad is best charged plugged into the wall with the supplied charging brick.
    Usually charging/syncing problems are one of four things
    Bad power brick
    Bad USB cable
    Bad outlet
    In your situation you may also want ot restart your computer, use a different USB port.
    If none of that swappage and restarting fixes it then you may want to make an appointment at your local apple store because it's possible that there's something worng with the port on your iPad. And that is beyond a user fix.

  • Ipad mini charger getting very hot

    ipad mini charger getting very hot. Not the ipad. What is it? A problem, or normal?

    Warm is normal. Too hot to handle, literally, is not. So if you can hold it, then it's probably fine. Mine gets hot when it's charging. But if it's too hot for you to hold then you should stop using it and get it checked out an apple store.

  • Why does ipad mini charge to 90% and stop charging?

    Even with overnight charge, my ipad mini charges to max 90%. Sometimes, it gets to 100% but its rare. Is it a bug. Should I upgrade IOS or something.

    I got the similar problem before and  hope the following can help.
    One day night, I suddenly decided to use the charger of my iPhone 3GS to charge my problematic new iPad Mini that has 90% charging problem. It has the same appearance and same output (5V , 1A) as the charger came with my new iPad Mini. Strangely, I found it worked and could fully (100%) charge my iPad Mini at one go when I waked up next early morning. I guess the 90% charge problem is probably due to some problematic chargers instead of iPad Mini.
    As it takes time to spend the battery power and charge another times using different chargers to prove whether the problem is due to the charger, I don't know if my finding is a real solution. I hope any one, if meets the problem, can try himself/herself by using another charger (say from iPhone 3 or 4 or even from another iPad Mini) to see if the problem is really from charger.
    I hope that your result can be shared with me.
    If at the end the problem is proved from individual charger, replace it to solve.

  • Can I use my iPad mini charger for my iPhone 5c.

    Can I use my iPhone 5c charger for my iPad mini

    Hi 50mike,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The article below may be able to help you with this.
    Click on the link to see more details and screenshots. 
    iPhone, iPad, iPod: Using iPad Power Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4327
    You can use the iPad mini charger to charge the iPhone 5C, but not recommended the other way around.
    The article below explains that the iPhone charger is meant to charge only iPhones and 1st generation iPad mini.
    iPad: Charging the battery
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060
    To charge your iPad battery, try one of these:
    Connect iPad to a power outlet using the included cable and USB power adapter (use the table below to determine which adapter is intended for your iPad.)
    Connect to a high-power USB 2.0 port using the included cable.
    Note: Some USB 2.0 ports and accessories do not provide enough power to charge iPad. When this occurs the message "Not Charging" appears in the status bar next to the battery icon.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

    My iPad mini charger isn't working. I don't know what happened. it goes off and on sometimes. I use it constantly and now it just seems to not work. What should I do?

    Hi Only if I need help,
    Is your iPad Mini still within the 1 year Warranty period, and is the charger the one that came with it? If so, then you can go to any Apple Store and have the Charger replaced. It is also under the warranty.

  • Can you tell me which iPhone/iPad mini charging adapter charges more quickly - traveling in Italy. Thanks.

    Can you tell me which iPhone/iPad mini charging adapter charges more quickly?  Traveling in Italy.  Thanks.

    You will need a 12 watt adaptor for the iPad Mini, so use the one that came with it. The phone can be charged from the same adaptor. Charging speed should be the same although everything in Italy runs slower.
    You will need a wall outlet plug adaptor.
