TS3274 Troubles charging first generation iPad

I am having charging my iPad.  It is first generation. Any suggestions?
can apple replace the battery?

Sometimes it says not charging and even with connecting and reconnecting Willie will not charge.
Other times I get a message that the accessory is not supported....
I am using the original charger.

  • HT5527 Why is it that when I bought my first generation iPad in October of 2010 the Apple sales rep at the Orange County California store suggested that I pay $99 for Mobile Me "coverage" and told me it was a "one time charge".

    Why is it when I bought my first generation iPad in October 2010 the sales rep at the Orange County California South Coast Plaza store suggested that I buy Mobile Me service for $99 which he assured me was a one time charge and now, of course, Mobile Me has been discontinued and I've been "forced" to move to the Cloud and I'm being provided with another year of what Apple calls complimentary service with the clear indication that in a year I'm going to be asked to pay again for something I paid a one time charge for two years ago?

    Mobile Me was the successor to .Mac (dot mac) which was "free" to all users but for a limited time. It included a free email address @mac.com and an amount of what we would now call "cloud" storage that went by the name of iDisk. iDisk worked great but with only dialup service for me it was barely useful.
    So I didn't think much of dot-mac but lots of people thought it was worth paying for, so they did. Apple wanted to make it even more useful and integrate it with their portable devices which we all know as iPads and iPhones, and assembled a team to make it all work. This was to be called Mobile Me.
    They failed miserably. Lots of people including me looked at the final product and said "huh?" Unfortunately for the Mobile Me engineers, one of those people was Steve Jobs. He first humiliated them quite publicly, then disbanded the team, including firing at least one senior manager who shall remain nameless.
    This was the rocky beginning of what is now called iCloud, which is the "free" service I should have explained. iCloud includes an email address @me.com, and the 5 GB of "storage" which aggregates things like iWork documents, your email, calendars, Photostream, and iPhone backups.
    You can buy more storage if you need more than 5 GB, but if you have more than that it's still free through September 2013.
    What happens if you have more than 5 GB stored on iCloud and on September 2013 you don't pay? I'm not sure, but you have a year to think about it.

    This issue was resolved! I didnt think about restoring my computer to factory settings but I did and now my computer works like brand new. basically, just back up your files and do the following:

    My first generation iPad no longer takes a charge; what does that mean?

    The genius bar is the service desk at the Apple Store. If there are no Apple Stores in your country, then check the Apple website to find an authorized service provider.
    Apple charges US$99 to replace the battery in an iPad (any model).

  • TS3274 My first generation ipad keeps opening and closing my apps what should I do?

    My first generation ipad keeps opening and closing my apps what should I do?

    try updating to ios 5.1.1
    if the problem continues perform a back up and then restore
    Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
    or back it up to a computer
    after that preform a restore by going to
    general>reset>erase all content and settings
    this will delete everything except the enabled stuff on icloud.
    You can view whats enabled by going to icloud in settings.

  • Ios updates to first generation iPad ?  Is 5.1.1 the end of the line ??

    ios updates to first generation iPad ?  Is 5.1.1 the end of the line ??

    That's not so good!  I found 5.1 was fairly stable but since upgrading to 5.1.1, Safari crashes frequently and it totally refuses to read some PDF's that have been readable in iBooks previously.
    My local Apple Store said the problem was that my IPad (2 years old) is obsolete and I should buy a new one!
    I know people have complained about IOS6 because of the mapping - but I would welcome anything that made it crash less!
    Maybe related but I used to charge the battery every three days (I just use it for email & web in the evenings).  Since the upgrade, I have to charge every day.  3 hours use tonight and it's down to 20%.
    I've completely disabled iCloud (again a shame because I really liked the syncing with my iPhone4s) and the only two apps that are ever active are Safari & Email. 
    Any ideas?  Should I just accept defeat, eBay this one and buy a new one?

  • Troubles with first Gen ipad

    Hello all,
    I just received a first generation ipad and I'm having a few problems with it. The ipad was sitting in an office drawer for a long time. Today, I plugged it into an ipad charger, and it was charging super slow (after about 6 hours, was at 13%).
    I brought it home and plugged it into my new ipad wall wart, and now it doesn't seem to be charging at all. I've tried several cables, and nothing.
    Second issue: It got to the connect to iTunes screen, but my computers won't recognize it. Tried my mini running Lion and also my vista laptop.
    Any suggestions on what might be wrong?

    Have the latest iTunes on windows. Mac still need to update, but its still only one version old.
    I'm sure the port is clean but ill check again tomorrow.
    In the meantime, any other possible solutions?
    Just a little update, it does seem to be charging again when plugged into a wall. Again, it is charging very slowly. Also, when its charging, the battery symbol isn't showing that its charging at all.

  • First generation iPad keeps shutting down safari and other problems.

    I have a first generation iPad.  It is currently running on iOS 5.1.1.   Now I just updated the software on my iPhone to is 6.1.2.  Does the iPad not follow the same update schedule?  It doesn't say it needs to be updated. 
    Anyway, on to my original problem.   My safari will randomly close down.   I'm not sure if it's considered crashing because no dialog box appears.  It usually happens on particular sites like Facebook or news sites.  If I go back it happens again. But I can go to a different site and it will work without closing down.  I am also having trouble typing emails or message board responses.  I will be in the middle of typing and it will stop responding.  I have to close the keypad and then fetal the screen so I can resume typing.  This can happen several times.  I'm not sure what the problem is.  I went through and cleared out a bunch of old apps hiking maybe my memory was getting to full.  That didn't help.  I reset my iPad and used my back p to get my apps back.  Didn't help.  Finally I reset my iPad to factory settings.  I didn't even restore my backup.   It's still happening. 
    Any ideas?

    You should try restoring the iOS software now if resetting the iPad did not help. This explains how to do it. I hope that you have a backup, because restoring the software erases the device, but you have the opportunity to restore from the back after the software is installed again.

    Pay close attention to the very end of this article - the section titled Additional Information. That will take to a link that instructs you how to use Recovery Mode to restore if the first method does not work for you.

  • My first generation iPad

    My first generation iPad won't turn on, it does not even show the battery sign. Its been like this for months, help?

    First, charge it overnight using the charger that came with the iPad.  Do not use an iPod/iPhone charger and do not use a computer's USB port.
    Then try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Why is First Generation iPad not connecting to MacBook Air?

    We received our daughter's first generation iPad. Whenever I connect it to the new MacBook Air the iPad will keep beeping, and give a message that "this iPhone is not longer connected to itunes" The beeping continues.
    It connects OK to my Macbook Pro, but I don't want to sync it with the MacBook Pro.
    I re-installed iTunes on the MacBook Air and then plugged in the iPad and got the message that the USB port was being disconnected because there was too much power draw on that port. The only USB connection is the iPad.
    Any ideas on what this could be? I'm using a newer cable, the iPad was 45% charged. Is there some limitation of the power draw on the MacBook Air? Is this older iPad drawing more power than the MacBook Air is capable of?

    - Macbook Air is plugged into external power
    - I cleaned the connections on the iPad and on the cable
    - Nothing changed, still get the USB power message and/or the message from iTunes that the device is no longer connected.

  • I have a first generation ipad that I gave to my father.  He wants to download a few things and it says that he can't because he needs the new ios update.  When I try to download it it says that I can't.  Is the older version IPADS unable to update?

    I have a first generation IPad and it won't let me download unless I update to the new ios system.  When I go to do that it won't let me do that either. What advise can you offer?  Thanks

    Maybe a little more info would be helpful. How are you trying to update the iPad? What model iPad it is and what version of the iOS is on it now?

  • My first generation iPad suddenly stopped opening Safari.  I cleared history, cookies, and cache, and Safari still won't open.  Any suggestions?

    When I attempt to open a Safari window on my first-generation iPad, it opens to a blank screen.  I can see the web address bar and the search box, but the rest of the page is white.  I cleared cookies, history, and cache, but still nothing happens.  The iPad is 3G, and I have tried to open Safari using both 3G and my home WiFi.  My wife has an iPad 3 WiFi, and hers opens without issue.  Any suggestions on what I might do?  Thanks!

    1. Double-click the Home button to close all Inactive Apps in Task Bar
    2. Hold the Apps in Task Bar down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
    3. Tap the minus sign to close Apps
    4. Tap center of screen to return to Home Screen
    5. Reset iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

  • I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    I have a first generation iPad and got my husband the iPad 2 for xmas.  is there a way to transfer his tiny tower game from my iPad to his without using the same iTunes account?

    Apps are only tied to one account... You can set up two iTunes accounts on your computer, however, and let his iPad sync to his account. If he has never backed up his apps to a computer, however, he will have to redownload all the apps. Afterwards, he can backup to iCloud instead of your computer.

  • I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up.  I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen.  Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

    Try this  - 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.)
