TS3274 brand new ipad. trying to charge it but keeps saying "not charging" - am at 3%!

Brand new IPad - will not take a charge? Am at 3%! Any ideas?

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.

What should I do if my iPad lightening cord is corroded and does want to charge and it keeps saying "not charging"?

My iPad mini has a charger that has gold material and it looks like it is corroded and I can't get it to charge because it says "not charging" and I got it for christmas so I don't know what to do.

Doesn't really matter. Take the device and cord into your Apple Store. It is under warranty, and if it is the cord they will replace it.
If you think the port may have some debris in it, then take a soft, clean toothbrush, and gently brush it to clean it out, then try to charge again. If that doesn't work, then be sure to back everything up before going to the Apple Store in case they determine that the device itself needs to be replaced.
Cheers,
GB

My ipad air cellular says it is not charging when plugged into wall socket but after a few hours it has charged but still says not charging

my ipad air cellular says it is not charging when plugged into wall socket but after a few hours it has charged but still says not charging
please help with this little annoying problem

for five weeks since i got it still doing it but it is charging so it is weird

Charging with iPod cord. Seems to be charging even when it says not charging in the upper right corner. Is this what happens when I don't use it's charger? And is that ok?

Charging iPad 2 with IPod cord. Seems to be charging even when it say not charging in the upper right corner. Is it because I'm not using the cord it came with, and is it ok to use an iPod cord.

The dock connector to USB cables are interchangeable on the iPod and iPad. That's not a problem. You must be trying to charge using a USB port on your Computer. If the port supplies enough power, the iPd will charge albeit very very slowly - as long as the Computer is turned on and it is awake.
You should really use the power adapter that comes with the iPad and it will charge much faster. Using the iPod cord is fine - switch to the supplied power adapter for the best results.

Why does my iPad 3rd gen keep saying "not charging"?

My iPad (3rd gen) is frequently saying "not charging" when I plug it into my computer or ac adapter. I'm using Apple cords and adapters, too!

There has to be a power going through to charge it surley , it is ither of or on not low power? . Also daughter judy said '' i have tried ac adapter''. Maybe if you have another device e.g xbox with a usb port in try to connect through there

Most computer usb ports do not provide enough power to properly charge the ipad. If the computer goes to sleep while the ipad is plugged in, it can actually drain the battery. Use a wall charger.

They may be purchased unlocked at full price. But whether you can use them in Brazil depends on whether you have GSM service there.
Note that if you buy in the US then any warranty work will require you to bring the device to the US for service. The US warranty is only good in the US, not in Brazil. You would be better off buying it in Brazil which will also save you duty and import taxes plus US sales tax.

Ipad won't charge keep saying not charging

ipad wont charge keep saying not charging

Stefann-
What percentage charge is shown in the upper right cornert?
If it is less than 100 percent, and the iPad is connected to its wall charger, something is broken. It could be the iPad, the cable or the wall charger.
The only thing I can think of to try, is to reset the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart in a couple minutes. Resetting will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears mysterious problems.
Charging from your computer's USB port may not be reliable, especially when the iPad is awake.

I just put a new battery into my MacBook and it sometimes says Not Charging when it is connected to a power adapter.

Does anyone know what this might mean? My battery just went down to 7 percent charge even though it had been connected to the power adapter for quite some time. At least a few days. I didn't notice that the battery wasn't charging. Now it says it is charging again, but every once in a while I notice it has gone to not charging. Any ideas?
Thanks

Oftentimes the travel chargers connectors and pins just build up dirt and grime. When it says not charging it's able to give enough power to function but not charge. Try wiping it down with a cloth!

Trying to update phone and keeps saying not enough storage how do i fix it

I have deleted almost every picture off my phone cause it kept telling me not enough storage. I am trying to update, but it won't let me . It keeps saying not enough storage.... How do I fix this cause it should have plenty now !

Settings/General/About/Available will tell you how much free storage you have. From memory you need at least 1.4 GB or so to update to iOS 7 over WiFi (I strongly suggest you have more than that, 2-3 GB is safer for the iOS 7 upgrade).
If you have problems freeing up enough space on your phone then update it via iTunes instead, that's both more likely to work without issues and doesn't require all that free space on the phone to start with.

Brand New Ipad Air is downloading slow, and apps are not finishing

I just bought this and am regretting my $600 investment. I've spent over 4 hours trying to figure this thing out. Safari is the slowest browser I have ever used. Apps do not complete downloading/ installing. I have reset my wireless, and my high speed internet wirks better with all my older pc's. This is brand new and I don't want to go back to the apple store, or talk to support and be insulted when they tell me it's my wireless.

I'm having the same problem actually. I'm thinking it's an issue with the store, not the device. Even loading up iBooks on my mac has been a bit slow tonight.
Maybe it's just overloaded at the moment?
